THE BARD OF MEMORY.

Rogers mus haze begsa to look old 10
years before he dId. Jokes which date
back as far y thu year 1880, depend for
their point On the tact that there was thsn
something withersd and ghastly In his
countenance. The story runs that an &C.
quaintanoe who met him in public con-
veyance, looking like corpse on It's travels,
said to him, :..Now that you ere rioh enough,
Rogers, why don't you set up hearse Of
your own ?" Mr.. Fields, who saw him In
bis last years, denies that his face, faded as
were his features, looked spectral and sep
Ichral. He gives an amusing account Of
the old mans indignation at Samuel Law
rence's recent portrait Of him. 'tRogers
himself wished to compare It with his own
face, and had looking glass held up be.
fore him. We sat In silence as he regarded
the picture attentively, and waited for his
criticism. Soon he burst forth, is my nose
SO dashed sharp as that?' No! MOI We all ex-
claimed, the artist is at fault there, Sir. ,
4 thought so,' he cried; he has painted the
face of q dead man, dash him!' Some one
said The portrait is too hard 4 won't be
painted as hard man, rejoined Rogers. I
am not hard man, am I, Proctor7' Proc
tor deprecated with energy such an idea as
that. Looking at the portrait again, Rog-
ers said, with great feeling, Children would
run away from me-" What most impressed
Mr.. Fields was the feeble manner in which
Rogers best stories were received by the
gentlemen present at his breakfast-table.
Mentioning his surprise to Proctor, the lat
ter told him that they ''had heard the same
anecdotes every week, perhaps for half a
century, from the same lips" In fact, the
bard of Memory had nearly lost the faculty
whose pleasures he had sung The wind
ing-sheet nearly covered his mind years be-
fore it enveloped his body. Proctor, who
remembered him in what may be called in
the prime of his old age, says: 1T has been
rumored that he was the sayer of bitter
things. know that he was giver of good
things-a kind and amiable patron, where q
patron was wanted; never ostentatious or
oppressive, and always friend in need. He
was ready with his counsel; ready with his
money I never put his generosity to the
test, but know enough to testify that it ez-
;sted, and was often exercised in delicate
manner and on the slightest hint" Proctor
gives but one instance of his ''sub-acid
words" After goingto the statue of Camp
bell he remarked, 1T is the first time that
I have seen him stand straight for many
years." The International Revietu.

WHAT Is THE MATER?

EWe scarcely open a newspaper but we
find recorded some case Of embezzlement,
forgery or kindred crime, committed by
men who have hitherto been considered to
be respectable and worthy. A highly dis
tinquished writer on social science suggests
that the principal indictments are "the
haste to be rich, extravaganza in the style
Of living, the false education and culture
of young women, the manner in which so
many young men are allowed to grow up
without trade or profession or any kind
Of business knowledge BY which they can
earn living, the social and often lega
distinctions made between the criminals,
the publicity Of criminal proceedings and
the increase Of corruptipg literature We
hold the opinion that much if not all Of
the trouble lies in our system of public ed
ucation. Our high schools turn out an
nually myriads Of young fellows who posi-
lively look upon labor as disgraceful, and
would not soil the hand that turned the
leaves of Caesar or Telemaqne with doing
any work. They want to be lawyers, doc
tors, clerks, &c. Few who become su55
succeed as professional men, as they are
only half trained. The great mass sink
ont of sight and become the dependents Of
hardworkiRg parents or brother or sister
The slavery Of street car conductors lift
hasbecome proverbial, yet very, very many
of these horribly overweight men are
graduates of high schools. IT, instead Of
bellies lettres and smattering Of the Ian
guagea, the money thus misspent had been
used in teaching them some useful trade or
handicraft at an industrial school, by which
they could make their living in after life,
it would be better for them, and the COM
munity too, for they would not then be
burdens upon their parents, relatives or
friends, as many Of them must assuredly
be under the present system.
Superintendent Wickershsm, of Louis
vile, KY, a man Of experience in educa'
tional matters, used the following Ian
age:-"I am not sure but that if half
the money expended in the schools of our
cities were expended in the erection Of
ships to teach the boys and girls trades, it
would be BETTER"
If our High School-which No. l is
practically-were made an industrial col.
lege. where technical and practical train
ing c'n.d be given to boys in some trade
aud promotion and honors given for merit
labor would he digni6ed, the ambitious ri
vslries of youth would beget excellence
ID an ambitious student would soon be
ronted out as the best carpenter or the
b ct brass fnisher, &C., in his class.
We know this is tresding on dangerou
ground, and We expect to be both misrep
resented aud misunderstood by many. Bu
we are willing to defer to the judgment o
those who look upon good mechanic al
the peer Of a good doctor, lawyer o.
preacher.
May we not look upon the neglect to ed
uca the hands as the fruitful source O
1nnch Of the crime committed by what ar
utrnrl the respectable class? That i
what's the matter.

complete their investigations, nor could
they arrive at any conclusion what time
it would require to enable them to fin
ish their labors. Had they not been
forced 10 abandon their seats by the ad.

baby have continued in session until
they were compelled to make room for

time present their claim against the
county for additional and important SER
vices rendered.
There are instances in which Judges
may be indicted, but unless the Grand
Jurors Of Baltimore county had stronger
ground for indictment, they were guilty
OF an arbitrary exercise Of power, which
1t once sanctioned, will forever destroy
the authority and dignity of the Court,

Democratic Meetings Of the Past Week.

The meeting at st. Clements Bay on wednes-
day last was largely attended by both white and
colorcd. Col. r. H. Miles was called to the
chair and made some pithy and appropriate re-
marks. The meeting was then addressed by r.
c. Combs and Jos. II. Key, of the legislative tick
ct, and were followed by John Cajay, Walter
Burton and Mace Rus,in, colored The speeches
of the colored orators were addressed exclusively
to the colored voters present, counselling them
to get over their old preiudices of slavery, and
for the future TO vote for those who befr;ended
them in other matters. They advised them to
vote for good men and honest men. They all
claimed still TO be republicans AMI said that they
intended to remain so, bat ,ha, they could see
bu; few republicans on the ticket presented to
them by the few leaders Of the party who me, in
Leonardtown to make a ticket. That as be-
tween democrats they prefsrred the honest one
who boldly told you what he was. They then
cited the advice Of the President of the United
States to the colored people to live in friendship
and harmony with their old masters and not 10
look upon them as enemies to their rights.
These speeches seemed to have much effect upon
the colored voters, who expressed their approval
Of such sentiments. Mr.. Ma,tingly of the legis-
laiive ticket was not present, owing TO unavoid-
able detention. The meeting adjourned at a late
hour in the evening, and, on the whole, passed
Oh very quietly and satisfactorily.
The meeting at Carberry's Store, Beggar's
Neck, on Thursday las, was very well attended
for q neighhorhood meeting, the majority being
colored. The meeting was adircssed BY Combs
and Mattingly, Of the Legislative ticket, and BY
Cajay, Rus,in and Tom Brown, colorcd The
colored voters seemed pleased with the speeches
and openly expressed their intention of voting as
they pleased. One coiored voter remarked that
it was q second emancipation to him. that he
could now vote for his friends. The white 70
scrs present were all right snybow, and expressed
a determination to take q lively in:ercs, in the
campaign and use their eudcavors to bring GU,
the full democratic vote. Oysters and s,imulants
we're freely dispensed, but all good feeling pre-
vailed.
The meeting on Saturday last a, the Great

Republican Meeting.

There was a meeting on Saturday at Harry
Jordan S, near Parsons Mills, which was large
iy attended by colored voters. We suppose tina,
this meeting was called in the interest Of the re-
publican ticket. The only occurrence of marked
interest was lengthy discussion between John
Cajay and VIM. Hall, both oolored, as to the true
interest OF the colored man in the present contest
Cajay advising him to vote for good democrats
for local Offices where they were called on TO
judge between democrats, Hall contending, that
they should vote the whole ticket as agreed on
by the conclave in Leonardtown. Our inform
ant, colored man who was present. says that
Cajay had the best Of the argument and seemed
to have the most followers The discussion was
a warm one and was kept up all night.
