The Costume Of the Period.

A"The fashions wear out more apparel
than the man." However one may ap-
preciate tho beauty Of bric-a-brac, old
dishes and things, 1.-The woman docs not
exist who finds 5any particular charm IN
old 'bonnets, gowns and gloves. 1t re.
quires a certain amount of moral courage
to don habilmcnts ancient in texture
and design when modern styles demand
something quite different. To be among
the first in adopting new fashion
and meet complacently the tip-t;lted
noses, and "who are you?: glances Of
inquiry and criticism that are sure TO
follow, demand an equal amount of
bravery.
The short walkingd dress, which one
would suppose would have been readily
recognized as the costume best >uited to
this era, of reform and strong minded
ness, andheaftiIy welcome for the claim
it bears to comfort, cleanliness, and
health, has IN reality been warily accept
ed, riot, because of real merit, has tri-
umpiicd over comments and hesitation,
and bren slowly gaining favor, until it
now forms an established fcatllc of the
prone made.
The Killed skirt, vest and cut-away
jacket, with plenty of buttons, is the
regular costume, but pleasing variations
are growing out of this not always grace
flu! model, and stout ladies who would
look rldlculol IN kilt-plaits need not be
doomed to the annoying discomfort of
train airing, or accept the dire alterna-

trimmed 70 suit the taste, and finished
with basque or jacket, or in princesse

further convenience, the modern lady of
fashion carries reticule much like tlioee
used 'by eul great-grand mothers, save
that the monogram is embroidered on one
side. Many other recommendations and
devices, Of past ages are coming to be the
Embellishments of the present
generation. This revival of old STYLES is
bringing watered silks and English ba-
reyes from their long seeusion, as we'll as
lawns and organdy muslins.
The latter come in such exquisite tints
and beautiful .designs,-1Ethat they must
meet with universal favor despite their
frail and perishable nature. With care
they can be worn "a long time without
washing !; when tlijs becomes necessary,
pains should be taken to preserve THO eolE

lS~ Our grandmothers and the farmers of
Maryland, Virginia and Pennsylvania, will hear
with concern that injunction is to be taken out
against one of the most venerable of Maryland
institutions, the immemorial Hagerstown Dutch
English Almanac, long published by Jacob
Gruber and his heirs. 1t is to be hoped that the
quarrel and litigation will not end in the suppress
sion of this familiar old ephemeris. Gruber's Al
manac is not as old MS Warne's begun at Will
liamsburg, (Va.,) in 1881, nor as Sewers German
town Almanac, begun in 1913. 1t is not the old
est Maryland Almanac for the publication of that
dates from 1863, at Annapolis but STILL it is old
and it is good. John Gruber's Town and County
Almanac, in German and English was first is
sued at Hagerstown in 1922, and it has been pub
lished every year since. We knew an old gentle
mamie died in lS62-who had every number of
the old almanac from the first, with his own mem
oranda in the margin against each date-and
such chronicle of cows and calves, hens and
chickens, hay time and seed time was never seen
since almanacs were invented.-Bolto. Bulletin.

ls~An investigation into the conduct of In
dian Agents in the West, and the manner in
which they have been managing the affairs en-
trusted to them, which is now being vigorously
prosecuted by the Government, is disclosing vast
amount of fraud, theft, and general rascality. An
effort is being made to renovate and purify this
branch of the public service. This kind of ras-
cality is no new thing. 1t has been extensively
practiced every year, we presume, since the Gov
eminent has been dealing with Indians and fur
nishing them supplies of any kind 1t certainly
has been going on the past half century, and we
have reason to believe it was no new thing at the
beginning of the period named. The swindling
practice has doubtless been carried on more ex-
tensvely at some times than Others The rascals
in the subordinate positions among the various
tribes of Indians have, no doubt, sometimes had
good backing in high quarters, and in such cases
have been able to do their work with greater i'm
punity and larger profit But there never has
been time when more or less rascality has not
been practiced. The war of the rebellion opened
a wide door for such rascalty, and we presume
many entered therein.

G9~A correspondent of the Baltimore Sun asks,
"What is the origin and object of the one cent
ground rent that read of only in this State ~
and that paper answers the question as follows:
"The creation of one cent ground rents owes its
origin in the marked distinction which the law
makes between what is called fee simple property
in land-which is real estate subject to dover, and
in case of intestacy goes to mans heirs-and
leasehold property, which partakes of the nature
ofpersonal property, and is not subject to the same
incidents. Thus man owning piece of land
in fee simple, by the simple process of conveying
it away to some one and taking back lease for
ninety nine years, removable, paying a ground
rent of one cent would entirely change the legal
character of his title, while practically his owner
ship of the land would remain the same. Another
reason formerly for the creation of cent ground
rents was that aliens, who at one time could not
hold real estate in Maryland, were allowed to hold
land upon lease for the purposes of their business,
residence &C."

S. r. Waters, T. Herbert Shriver and Reuben Say
Ter delegates to the Congressional nominating con-
vention of the I'd district, which meets at Cock
eysviIle, this county, September 18th. The fol-
lowing resolution was unanimously adopted:
ResoIred, That the patriotic course of Hon.
Charles B. Roberts, our Representative in Con-
gress has entitled him to our unqualified indorse-
ment and we hereby pledge ourselves to use all
honorable means to secure his denomination and
election, believing, as we do that his legislative
experience will enable him to better promote the
interests of his district and State than any
untried man could reasonably be expected to do.

GS- The Republicans of the third and Fourth
Congressional districts, comprising the whole city
of Baltimore, except one ward, held their nOmi-
mating conventions on Tuesday evening. Robert
Turner, ESQ.,, was nominated in the Third, and
Col John C. Holland in the Fourth district, both
by reclamation. Col. Holland appeared in the
convention and made sterling speech, accept
ing the nomination. Mr.. Turner was not in the
city, but it is supposed he will accept. Both
bodies passed resolutions denOuncing the present
management of the Republican party in this
State by Messrs. Thomas and Matthews, and ig-
noring the State Central Committee. Resolutions
were also adopted approving the action of the
9th Congressional district in cutting loose from
the State Central Committee and acting indie
pendently of it. 1t now looks very much as
though Mr.. Socket Matthews had lost his grip
and that his threat that he would have State
Central Committee to suit himself and to do his
bidding, win amount to very little as he can't
muster corporal's guard of the respectable Re-
publicans of the State.

Poisoning BY PEACH SToNEs.-A fatal case of
poisoning by peach stones, which is noted in the
French papers as having recently occurred in
Paris, should serve as a warning to families in
which children are allowed to look after themselves
for hours at a time Probably very few adults
themselves know how poisonous peach stones are.
The victim of the recent accident in Paris secreted
the stones of a number of peaches, and, obtaining
a hammer, when left alone broke them open in
dustriOusly and ate them; the result being that he
fatally poisoned by hydrocyanic prussic) acid.
Since the peach season is now upon us, it is as
well to explain what quantity of poison the peach
stone possesses. Writers on toxieGlogy state that
one ounce of the kernels contain about one grain
of pure prussc acid, and this quantity, it is well
known, is sufficient to kill any adultper Even
two-thirds of grain has very often proved fatal,
and indeed may well be regarded as fatal dose
for any child,--Scientifc American.

E1s~T The Cumberland (Md.) Cirilian, of 18th
inst, says:
"The death of Jane Cunningham at the Bay
view asylum, Baltimore, on Thursday last, revives
the memories of half century ago, when one OF
the most distressing tragedies enacted in this
country occurred. Jane Cunningham was then a
young woman and possessed powers of fascination
of a dangerous character. She led George Swear
ingen, young man of good standing and respect
able family to an ignominous death. Swearingen
was married, but Jane Cunningham charmed him,
and led him by degrees to an infatuatiOn which
caused the unfortunate man to murder his wife, in
the woods Cresaptown, for which he was
afterwards hanged in this city. Jane Cunning
ham lived for some time in the South the life of a
depraved woman, then came to Baltimore, changed
her name and opened a saloon on north Gay street,
which was for many years the resort OF depraved
characters Her health finally gave way, and over
twenty years ago she was admitted to an insane
asylam for treatment. She recovered her reason,
but being without friends obtained admission to
Bayview. Several years ago she protested chris
tianity, and at the time of her death, in her 73d
year, was one of the most devout worshippers in
the institution"

ED-The Philadelphia North american says that
the revival of commerce and trade is indicated by
the increased orders for rolling stock ON railroads
that have been received by the leading manufse-
turers At no time since the panic have the or
ders for locomotives and cars been more numerous,
crease in the rolling stock Of old railroads in this
country during the present year than ever before.
This is not sign Of increased activity in railroad
extension, but of development of business on estab
lished lines of communication, which is due only
IN the greater amount Of traffic that ia offered
