CARELESS SHOOTING.

On Friday of last week, Amos and Louis
Hahn went on cunning expedition. The
former climbed tree and punched SPUR
rel out of its hole. The latter gentleman,
being fearful of its escape, fired before it
had gone a sufficient distance, putting
eleven grains of shot in his brothers foot
and leg, intiicting a severe wound. DR..
Worrall was call to his assistance. Mr.. II.

RELIGIOUS.


The meeting at St. Paul's Church still
continues. 1t has been very powerful in
the awakening and conversion of sinners.
Over twenty five have professed conversion
and twenty three of that number have
united with the church. Rev. b. F. Price,
one of our former preachers, came aud as
sisted last week. His discoulses were very
appropriate, and were delivered in an un-
usually impressive manner.
INJURED.
William Ward, one of our popular and
most active Democratic politicians, was
seriously injured, last week. While in the
act of fastening his horse the animal ran
away and kicked him in the head, cutting
deep cash, besides otherwise bruising
him.
CRUEL TREATMENT.
A man, living six miles from this place,
walked up here TO make few pun chases,
some time ago, and while here was taken
with chill, and, in consequence, was in a
weak state of health. Seeing two of his
neighbors, he politely asked them if they
would give him a ride down home, which
either could have done without the least
inconvenience, but both refused and left
the poor, sick man to walk that distance
aud carry his parcels. We never admired
the conduct of the Levite. The Samaritan
is SO much worthy our imitation.

Mattingley of St. Mary's county, who is
competently assisted by Miss Jennie XII

comfortable rooms, with a seating capacity
of fifty pupils each.

More brokerage is going on COW in
city financial affairs than was ever
known here before. The police, 6remen,
and other city employees are not paid be-
cause no money is paid into the treas
ury-at least, such is the excuse given.
Consequently the employees have / o sell
their time and transfer their claims for
pay TO brokers at g discount. These
brokers, who pay no license for doing
such business, somehow or other have
discovered who owes privilege taxes aud
what the amounts are. They 20 to such
persons and offer to pay their taxes at a
certain rate, say ninety cents. They
then hunt up city indebtedness, or Dur.
chase such from the unpaid employees at
a higher rate of discount. They seem
to have q list Of every merch anti
taxes in their pockets; and no
wonder the men who work do not
get their full pay. Let US give
one instance; An employe Of the city
wishing to raise some money went to a
merchant and offered him city indebted.
ness at 96c. The merchant said that a
man had been to him and offered to pay
his taxes at 95c. The employe replied
chat he would sell at soc. and was invited
to call again. When he returned the
scrip broker had bid lower and had cen
tracted to pay the merchants taxes at
S5c on the dollar. This is a reprehensi-
Bile practice; it swindles the workiugmen
and puts money in the purses of specu-
lators who merely act az "go-betweens,"
from the poor employe to the city treas
ury, and thereby prevent the employees
from getting dollar for dollar, or the full
pay for their honest labor. The general
council should protect the working man
from this system, so unjust in its effect.

InterentInr Anniveraarls.-

Yesterday was the anniversary Of the
death Of John Wilkes Booth in 1865.
After assassinsting President Lincoln,
Booth escaped into Virginia and was
concealed in a barn on CARROTS farm,
neal Bowling Green, when a squad of de.
t%ectives cam up. BE refused to surren.
der aud the barn was set on FIRE. AS
Booth was in the act Of shooting at the
chief Of the detectives Sergeant Boston
Corbett shot him in the head. Booth
was a brother of Edwin Booth, the TRACE
dian, was born in Virginia, became an
actor at seventeen, aud allowed his sym.
pathy for the C~onfederacy to lead him
to ruin.
To-day is the anniversary Of the birth
of Ulysses S. Grant in 1922. The place
Of his birth was Point Pleasant, Ohio,
and the name given him at baptism was
Hiram Ulysses, but his appointment to
a cadetship in West Point Academy was
blunderingly made out for Ulysses S.,
and SO be has since been called. Until
1889, when be received his appointment
to West Point, his life was uneventful,
and, in f%act,.it cannot be said to have
been very eventful until his opportunity
came with the civil war. General Grants
ancestors were Scotch H~ighlanders.
To-day is also the anniversary Of the
ending Of the Crimean war in 1856.
Russia made certain demands on Turkey
which Turkey believed to involve an
actual abdication Of its sovereign rights,
AID refused to comply with them. Then
France, Sardinia, and England, all
jealous Of Russia, joined with Turkey in
the war which had the Crimea for its
scene. 1t ended, of course, in the dis.
comfiurs Of Russia, which power lost by
it q small strip Of lald and her naval
preponderance on the Black Sea.
