A Notable Anniversary.

Just fifty years ago, July 4th, ground
was broken in this city for the construc
tiOn of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad,
and that half century has seen at once the
birth of railway enterprise, and its highest
development the world over. 1t was n
little road with big charter that was
opened to Ellicott City on the the 22d of
May, 1880. operated by horse power over
a track that consisted merely Of thin strips
Of iron laid on longitudinal sills. But it
was, nevertheless, railroad, and the next
year steam engine, advertised for by the
company, and which it itspecifed "must not
exceed three and-a-half tons weight, and
must on level road, be capable of draw
ing, day by day, fifteen tons inclusive of
weight of wagons, Is miles per hour, was
introduced, a romantic attempt to propel
the cars with sails having ignominiously
failed. The road was a wonder then to
everybody, pushing its way westward
through the country, striding the rivers,
spanning the valleys and climbing the
mountains with the same indomitable spir-
it. But it was slow work building rail
roads half century ago. At thought of
laying a railroa acrossd the continent from
ocean to ocean the toldest would have
stood aghast 1t was not until April l j.,
1882, that the road reached the Point of
Rocks; it was December l, 1884, when it
touched Harper's Ferry; November 5,
1912, when it tapped Cumberland, and
not until January u, 1853. did it strike
the Ohio at Wheeling. But its future
had already been forecastcd by Charles
Carroll Of Carrolltou, then the only survi-
wing signer of the Declaration of Indepen-
dence, when he lifted the first shovel of
earth at the grOund-breaking and said =
Il consider this among the most important
acts of my life, secondary to that of sign
ing the Declaration of Independence, if
even second to that"

Adviees from the Eastern Shore TO the
Editors Of the Democratic Advocate, rep
resent that since certain of the farmers of
that section have threshed out their. wheat
crop, it turns out to be not as good as it
was supposed to be before harvest. The
ChestertO'oa Transcript says The yield,
generally, is not so good as last season, but
from this opinion there are some disseu-
ters. Fultz wheat is turning out so badly
that some Of our farmers viii discard this
variety entirely hereafter.

THE SILVER DoLLAR.-The new silver
dollars, which the Philadelphia Ledger
says are accumulating in the Treasury,
would be very acceptable if sent this way.
A writer in the Ledger asks-"Is the
reason not found in the antagonism of the
Secretary of the Treasury, he having de-
creed that it shall only be exchanged for
gold While gold commands any pre-
MUM is such exchange probable? And is
not the restriction virtually modification
of the spirit of the law authorizing the
coinage and issue of the silver dollar ?"

Mr.. Grow Of Pennsylvania, in ex-
planning the cause of the hard times,
gives the following figures on railroad
building: Railroad building in this
country comparatively ceased in 1873,
from sheer exhaustion in that line of
development, having locked up in I'M
productive investment over S2,000,-
100000. Its stoppage, in addition to
leaving unemployed the labor that had
been engaged in the preceding four
years in building $4,000 miles ofroad,
put an end for the time being to the
great demand for iron, and with it the
great demand for coal. Hence came
the necessity for the reduction in the
force as well as in the price Of labor in
all three of these great branches Of in
dustry."
