MEDLEY's DISTRICT, Dec. l7ih, 1877.
! Mr.. Editor From the lofty peaks of our
Sugar Loaf mountain tried 10 take u little
peep into our State and county politics.
When on the highest peak of that edifce
caused by the God of nature, looked around
when 10 and behold some good Democrat
had been there before me. The evidence he
left behind him was this and last weeks issue
of the Sentinel
| picked them up and the first item that
caught my eye was the piece headed "Aary-
land Politics, which would have been nearer
the point it il had TO have read County Poli-
ties degraded The items ! refer to, were the
letters from Annapolis and lIagerstown, signed
Alpha and Omega Those corresdondents'
ideas are ''far fetched" Do they think any
trumpetry that their letters contain will cause
our honored Senator and Delegates TO jeopar-
die a chance 10 have one Of old Montgomery's 8
honored sons made United States Senator
for the pitful position of Tobacco House
Inspector for Warehouse No. 2? If there were
no United States Senator in prospective, then
a large majority of the Democratic voters of
this county would be in for rotation in Office,
and if they were not Of that way Of thinking
they are old enough to know who they want
to Gil whatfcw positions our houored Governor
may be pleased to bestow on this the banner
county Of the Sixth Congressional District.
Our outside trumpeters make a great flourish
about our gallant rally in behalf OF Allcgany's
noble son, William Walsh. Now after that
glorious inscription on our couniy's political
escutcheon are we still TO be compelled to bow
our honored heads and bend the knee for the
poor ptiful position Of re-appointment into
Tobacco Warehouse No. 2 q no Alpha and
Omega, if you are as great friends Of this
county, as you profess 10 be- come forward
and battle manfully for Montgomery honored
son, the Hon. Montgomery Blair, and see that
in you as far as the power lies that Mont
gomery county be honored with the honored
position of The next United States Senator,
and leave those tobacco house appointments
TO Montgomery's chosen representatives 10
settle without any outside influences, for in
the words of old Hickory, "By the Eternal
we are represented by gentlemen who 90 not
fancy little irumpelers ut home, much less the
surplus that seems to be so plentiful in some of
our sister counties y
Judging from the two letters that have
lately appeared in the Sentinel, ! hope our
honored delegates after they get through with
the tobacco house politicians, will see that our
county schools are put on II more solid f0un-
dation And let The patrons who patronize the
schools have some say in their management
and not have them run all together in the in
terest of outsiders or non-parons, or it will
not be long before even they will he past re-
demption. MEDLEY'S.

"Silk stockings with lace medallons cover

many hearts those medallions will lac-e-rate.
Floral trimmings for ball dresses are richer

damask roses with sprays of lily-of-the-valley
Jappanese fans, wide spread, are fastened
above chamber doors or windows to give n

CHRISTMAS.

Families have days cousecrated and get apart

anniversary Of some extraordinary event in
their existence Nations frequently dedicate a
day for rejoicing in remembrance Of some par
ticular glory that Eliminates their annals. But
one certain day ofevery year commands nearly
a world 10 stay its progress in reverence of an
event that over eighteen hundred years ago
lef, IFS impress upon the history of our uni
verse. And well might it be commemora.ed
through all future ages till the end of time
even IL it contained nothing more remarkable
than visiiant from Heaven to earth but
with it came glad tidings ihat sent a thrill Of
JOY through the bosom of the worl d. A star
of peace suddenly blazed upon the path Of
mankind and has illumina ted il with increas-
ing lustre as the centuries have passed away
Iis-annversary, which occurs upon the com
ing Tuesday will be observed throughout the
Christian world with general acclamations of
JOY. The voice of thanksgiving will be lifted
in prayer and praise, borne upward 10 the por-
tails Of heaven perrnmed with sacred incense.
rs Christianity kneels in the holy temple ded-
icated 10 the worship of the Father that sent
and the Son that came for the redemption of
the world. It's influence will pervade all ages
and classes and conditions. Childhood will
weave dew joys from the sacred holiday 10
twine with the wreath of memory. The busy
mind of manhood will he released for day
from the storms that fret il, and will rest in
peaceful tranquility. The gloomy terrors that
group around the grave will for day be dis
sipaied and old age will gaze upon its coming
dissolution without fear. And in the general
rejoicing even we for one day in the year can
