ST. Johns College was founded in the year
1884, and has always maintained high repu-
tation as an institution of learning. From
its portals have gone forth from time to time
men who have made their mark in the world
and who were always ready to acknowledge
their Indebtedness to their alma mater for
the equipments of learning which contribut-
ed to their success in life. This venerable
institution appeals with peculiar force to
Marylanders for support. 1t is II State in.
stitution, and one in which we can feel an
honest pride. 1t is in part supported by the
State, but it returns all it receives, by edu.
eating free one hundred and fifty Maryland
boys. Each Senatorial district is entitled to
six free scholarships, of which two Of the
incumbcnts are provided with board ms well
as tuition, without charge. These scholar
ships are tenable for four years, and the in
cumbents ale required to give bond and Sc
curiiy in the sum of $3.50 that they will
teach school within the State for not less
than two years after leaving College. The
State thus receives Il direct advantage from
her liberality. We commend St Johns to
the attention of those who have sons to edu-
cate.

A USEFUL INVENTION Mr. james J. w.
Taylor, of our county, has invented and is
about introducing an application TO rail
road cars, which will relieve passengers
from the great annoyance and discomfort of
dust, cindcrs and smoke pouring in at the
windows. His invention is very simple one
and can be applied at comparatively slight
cost If consists of q trough at the caves of
the car, to collect the dust and cinders, and
whirling fans or warders so constructed as
to act on the overflow of the accumulalons
n these troughs and throw the dust, cinders
and smoke to the ground instead of rs now
being drawn by the draught into the Win
dows of the cars. There are also tenders so
arranged below the car windows as TO pre-
vent the dust from rising to them, this is
very ingenious contrivance and its general
adoption by the railroads of the country will
greatly increase the comfort and pleasure of
the travelling public.
