Mr.. Hotchkiss was upon an authorized

both parties, as the latter is the dem

Good News to Every Family.

No mare loss Of Life or destruction Of
fropeIss BY the szplosson Of Rero-
sehe.
1t is fearful to think that during
the short space of a year, there were
over rty-eight millions Of dollars
worth of property destroyed in the
United States, by the explosion Of
kerosene or coal oil lamps; yet the
destruction of property is nothing
compared to the loss Of life. No less
than 1900 men, women and children,
came to an utimely end during the
past year by the explosion Of lamps,
to say nothing of those persons who,
after terrible sufferings have at last
recovered, but were dis6gursd for
life.
No wonder then that we say
Good News to Every Family"
when Prof. Thompson's Non-Exp!o-
sive Lamp Powder is guaranteed to
render the worst kerosene as safe as a
common candle and prevents the
breaking and smoking of lamp chin
neys.
In few days the agent for this
county will visit the families for tn
purpose Of introducing this very
necessary household preparation, when
for the triaing sum of 20 cents, a
package can be procured which may
perhaps be the means of saving life
and property. ~

The First Governor of the State
Of Maryland and his de-
ScendanlS.

SSCIlUdIltS.
Mr.. Editor lin view of the pro-
posed celebration on the 2lst of March
next, of the one hundredth anniver-
sary of the inauguration of Maryland's
first Governor, a brief statement of
some of the incidents that character
lied and made illustrious his public
career, may not be without interest to
many of your readers. There is no
name in the history of our state, nor
in that Of the colonial period of this
country entitled to greater prominence
among the honorable and useful men
whose wisdom and courage wrought
out the independence of beth our
state and country.
Governor Thomas johnson may
truly be regarded as remarkable man
a has day In council he was cool
and saga cious; as speaker, he COM
manded attention on every occasion
was q fluent and able writer, and,
when tn exigenc:es of the hour re-
quired it, he served his country with
the sword He was a confidential
friend of Washington, and nominated
him in Congress to be commander-in-
chief Of all the armies of the United
States. Whilst serving in the field as
Brigadier General, he was called to
the gubernatorial chair and inaugu-
rated on the 2lst day of March, l777.
He was reelected to second term,
but declined te serve. He was after
wards appointed to seat on the Su-
preme Bench of the United States,
which position he filed until compsll-
ed to resign by failing health. He
declined the offer of Secretary of
State in Washington's cabinet. He
was one of the Commissioners of
Washington city that LAID off the
plan and fixed the sites for the Capt.
tol, Presidents home and other pub
lie buildings.
Gov. johnson died in Frederick
county on the Goth of October, 1919,
at the age of 81 years, leaving the
following sons and daughters, viz
Thomas, Ann. Rebecca. Joshua and
Dorcas,
Joshua Johnson, the last survivor,
died i'll 1857 without issue. His
widow is still living, being the wife
Of James Kane, Esq, of this place.
Rebecca Johnson married her cous-
in, Thomas johnson, from whom are
descended the present Mrs. Margaret
Graham and the late Thomas J. John
son. The latter died few years ago
in Garrett county. Mrs. Grahams,
although 70 years of age, possesses, in
a remarkable degree, her physical
and mental vi gor She is lady of
refined culture, taultless memory re-
gardlng the events and "reminiscences
OF her family, and is highly esteemed
for her many christian virtues. She
has fallen heir to many of the articles
OF furniture, pictures, letters, ETC.,
formerly the property of her ancestor,
the Governor. She has two sons, DR..
Thos, j, Grahame and Richard Ora
hame. the former a practitioner in this
town. and the latter a farmer in Gar
rett county. Both are married men
with families.
The descendants of Thos. J. John
son, deceased, are Joshua, Samuel,
Charles, Thomas and Carrie. The
four former reside in Garrett county
and are engaged in the farming and
lumber business. Miss Carrie recent
ly married Mr.. James Coulehan of
Cumberland. CIy1s.

QUESTIONS NEEDING ANSWERS

QUESTIONS NEEDING ANSWERS
"Pompey" communicates several
strong points on our first page. The
advocates Of reduction should begin
early and work late if they would de-
stroy such stubborn intsrrogatories by
contrary facts and logic. tits desired
to learn, for instance, who gobbled the
25O,OOO tons of coal We lost last year
that Clarified did not get? And if
''lost trade Is the real plea, who has
taken the anthracite trade ? and so on.
The discovery of $4,000 of Cum
berland bonds not returned in the as
sessment, gives occasion for suspecting
the ersence of startling amount Of
othe species of taxable property, and
seeus to emphasize the duty of the
b. ] of Control and Review to probe
thesa matters as thoroughly as practi-
cable If in the single item of bonds
of single corporate denomination
$3.50 no are omitted, how much may
have been forgotten in the wider field
of other personal, and real estate?
Such taxpayers have also a binding
duty to perform in this matter. As
owners of taxable bonds, or other as
sessahle property omitted through
1apsus msensoria, they should speedily
go forward and report. This is hon
estly due to government and to them
selves. The total tax of each individ-
ual should be according to the tots'
amount of protection to life and prop
erty enjoyed.

WITHOUT prssuming to advise the
miners in matters wholly their own, it
seems that Mr. Rooneys proposition
at the meeting yesterday is the bust
ness-liks way to reach a satisfactory
issue. His plan provides for the ap-
pointment by all the mines of a repre-
sentative commission, to be composed
of the best men, and empowered to
invite the company agents to friendly
conference, whore all questions be-
tween them may be discussed and ad-
justed dscently and in order, calmly,
squarely, face to face. This would
most certainly insure harmony, good
feeling and honorable dealing-just
the several things now needed to make
employers and employees unsuspicious
of each other. AS suggestion this
may not be deemed worth much, but
the plan is nearly always employed to
effect great negotiations. 1t has in it
the primal element Of republican gov
eminent; as such, it is the short cut to
mutual protection and satisfaction.

General Items.

The TRIBUNE ALMANAC for 1877,
which is just published, is clearly the
best of the long series Of the standard
political annual This may seem high
praise, but it is fully within the truth.
The new editor of the Almanac, the
Hon. Edward Mcpherson, until re-
Gently Clerk Of the House of Repre-
sentatives, is perhaps the most accom-
plished and complete political statis-
tician of the country, and every page
Of the Almanac has had his personal
labor and supervision. To meet the
demands of the unprecedented situa-
ton of our national politics many pa
ges of new matter have been added to
the Almanac-all Of the highest value
and Importance. The history and
practical workings of the Electoral
College, for instance, can be more cor
rectly and satisfactorily learned from
the concise statements of the Almanac
than from any other source, and with
vastly less labor; while the precise
issues and facts upon which the
election in the disputed States of
Florida, South Carolina and Louisiana
turns are stated fully and clearly, the
figures of the rival parties being Civ
en- in detail THE TRIBUNE ALMANAC
has the field entirely to itself this year,
the similar annual issued by Tie
World for several years having been
suspended; but the absolute accuracy
and impartiality which have always
characterized The TRIBUNE ALMANAC
were never more apparent. From
disputed States, for instance, three
sets Of returns are given, and from all
the simple and official truth has been
published. The popular Presidential
vote Of the last fifty years, lists of all
promine nt officials in Federal and
State Governments and the minor civ
il offices under the former, the abstract
of the public laws of the last session
of Congress the tables of revenue,
banking, currency trade and manufac-
lures Of the United States, are all CIV
en- in this compact and cheap hand
book, which will be wanted early
and often by every citizen who pre-
tends to even ordinary intelligence on
the current topics of the day. The
price of the work (25 cents, compared
with its value. is merely nominal, and
is undoubtedly an excellent use for
the money. The Almanac, this year,
is one third larger than ever before,
but is sold at the old price.
