THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND AND HER

The QUEEN OF ENGLAND AND HER
FAMILy.-Appropriate to the fifty
seventh anniversary of Queen Vic
toria's birth, there has, probably,
never been sovereign of England
who could look around upon SO num-
erous circle of defendants as her
majesty. Since the Prince Consort
died only three deaths have occurred
in the British royal family, and two
Of these have been of children in the
earliest stage Of infancy, namely-the
third child of the Prince of Wales, who
was born on the 9Th and died on the
9th of April, 1871, and the child of
the Princess Christian, who died on
the Goth of last April, aged only eight
days. The other death, that of the
second son of the Princess Alice of
Hesse, was the result of an accident.
The Observer speculates in this wise:
1.-The Oldest child of the Crown
Princess Of Germany (the Princess
Royal Of England) is now seventeen
years of age. Her Majesty is fifty
seven. If her eldest grandchild were
to marry within the next year, and
have child in the ordinary course,
that child might arrive at manhood,
and have children within the next
twenty years, thus making her majes-
ty a great-great-grandmother before
she reached eighty years of age. We
do not say that this is probable, but
it is by no means impossible, especially
as the children of the Queen, unlike
those Of George the Fourth, all made
early marriages, and it is likely that
their children will follow their exam
pie"

The evidences of Frostburg,s non.
uiari'y as summer resort multiply
IN the steady influx of visitors from
oiherentsections of the country. With
no accommodations to speak Of
yet they come, gladly putting up with
the restraints of entertainment in pri-
vate residences. What the results
would be in the event of such provi-
sion Oh accommodations as seems to be
demanded, it is scarcely fair to esti-
mate. Yet the firm conviction is en-.
tertained that after two years trial
at most, all investments made with
this view will be found to be lucra-
tive in every direction.

BRApLEY's MoToR.-There seems
now to be little if any doubt that
lasting fame and an immortal name,
accompanied with one million dollars,
is to be the record of a Dorchester
county inventor. For FIVE or six
years Mr.. Bradley, of Vienna, has
toiled and studied over an invention
that his acquaintance and friends had
considered chimerical and visionary,
but now the fruits ripe and luscious
are dropping fast and free into his
treasury. Last spring a number of
capitalists, accompanied with the best
machinists and scientific men of Bos-
ton, visited Vienna and inspected his
motor and pronounced it grand sue
cess. The capitalists purchased one
twentieth interest for fifty thousand
dollars, paying five thousand cash.
We hear they are now in Vienna to
pay the other forty-fve thousand dol
lars, and the motor is to be taken on
to the centennial, and Immediately
large machine shops are to commence
their manufacture. 1t is expected by
the winter to entirely supersede the
present steam engine.-Cambridge

in South Carolina suggests the fol-
lowing plan for preventing drunken
ness Allow every person to sell as
much liquor as he wishes without tax
or license, but require those who
drink to apply for license, and to give
notice of such applications by publish
ing for one month in the official news
paper Of the city or coutry, and then,
if there be no objection, to enter into
bond for good behavior before the
authority to drink is granted.

AN IMPORTANT MovEMENr--PRoPos-
ED CANAL CONNECTION WITH THE

We noted yesterday the arrival in this
city of President German and Pay
master Fawcett of the canal. Accom-
panying them were President Hood
and Messrs. Boyd and Cowdry, d.
rectors of the Western Maryland rail-
road, the object Of whose visit here was
to look into and consider the practical
bility of running line of passenger
and freight steamers upon the canal
from here to Willamsport to connect
with their railroad at that point.
During their stay here a number Of
our merchants and business men were
interviewed by them, and the result
was very satisfactory, nearly all prom

AT CLOCK on the morning OF Au-
gust 10, Venus, being the morning
star, will approach so near to Lambbs,
Gemini; as to afford astronomers an
excellent opportunity to get at her
parallax and so determine her true
distance and that of the sun. About
year and a half ago expeditions
were sent by the great governments
to many parts Of the world to observe
the transit of Venus. and thus set
various astronomical questions at rest.
The expeditions accomplished their
end, and now may be justified by the
easily observed phenomenon in the
case of Venus and the little star in
Gsmini,
In a well-considered article upon
the state of Europe the Journal Of
Commerce says that though it is i'm
possible to predict what an hour may
bring forth, and though single spark
may kindle all the jealousies and ri
valries which now appear to be sup
pressed, the signs Enthusiastically point
to peace for the present. The an
nouncement that furloughs are being
freely granted in Germany tells the
opinion of the greatest of continental
powers that there is no immediate
danger of a general rupture. While
the mild, amiable and ambitious car
rules and England shows her plucky
purpose to resist the spoilation of
Turkey, and is sustained in this by
other western powers, the general Eu-
ropean war, though it may often
threaten. is more likely to be talked
about than fought.
Coal DUST AS FUEL.-The presi-
dent of the Philadelphia and Reading
railroad recently read before the
American Institute of Mining Engi-
neers a paper showing the success of
the company in burning coal dust as
fuel. Instead of being moulded into
blocks, as by the Loiseau process, the
dust, in its loose condition, is shovelled
into furnaces of stationary engines or
locomotives. The heat obtained from
it is equal to that from an equal
weight of lump coal. The burning is
effected by forcing current of air
and steam through the dust in the
furnace, which prevents it from cak-
ing, increases the supply ofoxygen and
adds some hydrogen, all Of which
tends to make the combustion more
vigorous. The Pottsville Miners
Journal estimates that one third of all
the coal which is mined is crumbled to
dust and made unsaleable. Forty
million tons are thought to be availa-
BILE for market, and much of it is close
by railroad tracks. The new inven-
ton is supposed to be applicable to the
use of steamships and smelling fur
naces.

GEN. CusTER's BIRTH PLAcE-The
Neaos says that Gen. Clusters father
was born near Cumberland. His name
was Emmanuel, and he married Miss
Elizabeth Logston, of Cresaptown,
Allegany county, Md. They after
wards lived in Virginia, opposite
Brady's Mill, where their eldest son
supposed to have been the general
was born. While this son was an in
FAINT the family removed to the West.
The Board of County Commission
ers have determined upon effecting a
very necessary improvement in the
Jail building. Singularly enough
when that structure was erected nc
provision was made for female prison
ers, in consequence Of which all per-
sons of that class, as well as boys Of
tender youth, who fell into the hands
Of the law, were necessarily brought
in contact with the hardened criminals
white and black, unless kept locked in
their cells. In order to remedy this
defect the Board has ordered the ad.
dition Of another story building, and
the improvement will be commenced
during the present week.-Gvilsan.
