DON'T FORGET 1T.

# You are troubled with nervousness are

or Liver Complaint. The liver is very apt
to become torpid this season Of the year as
poisons arising from stagnant water or de-
caying vegetation are more humorous and
are through inhalation taken into the
blood. Unless the liver is strong and ac.
tive, and furnishes supply of fresh and
pure blood to drive ont the impurities, the
above mentioned SYMPTOMS surely follow,

Educational.

1900 ADA oA' ia you duOTu uS U
small space in the columns of your pa.
per, for the purpose of expressing an
opinion we have long entertained in re-
gard to our system Unpopular education.
Although in our opinion that system is
fraught with many and serious defects,
we nevertheless hesitate to speak in der
ogation Of system that has so long been :
the pride and boast of our people, and
the source of such great aud national
blessings. Yet that such defects do ex-
list, and those too, of most radical
nature, in the course Of study prescribed
for, and now taught in the graded and
common schools throughout the country,
there seems but little room to doubt.
The youth who begins life in this age Of
unprecedented progress, it matters not
what his avocation or calling may be, is
sure to meet with fierce and stern
competition at every turn, and unless he
is inevery respect possessed ofa thorough
and perfect knowledge Of the business
be processes to follow, there is little or
no chance Of success, while failure is al
most inevitable. This great and all i'm.
portant work of preparation must be
commenced, and perfected to very
great extent, in the common and higher
schools of our country. Under the lib
eral and fostering policy of our govern
ment there is ample means to send forth
every youth in our land, with the pro-
per and practical qualifications for every
art, trade and profession. But the
great mistake, as we have before re-
marked, seems to be in the course of
study pursued in our schools. For in
stance, every one is fully aware of the
long months of close and arduous ap.
pllcaton that are -reaujredv d. tfasu fer the uAeaa uAeaa
govern our system of photography. This
is certainly very unnecessary waists, Of
time, means and energy. Why not drop
at once this arduous and prolix system,
and adopt that which our best lexicog-
raphers have been recommending for
years, viz the Photographic system, or
the art of spelling words according to
the sounds that compose them. IF this
were done, the difficulty of learning the
child to spell is at once removed, and in
the time that the beginner must devote
to this alone under our present system,
he could easily become proficient in the
art of telography or other Of the light arts,
which, in after life might be turned to
some practical account. The same may
be said in regard to our present system
of teaching geography. Instead Of de-
voting month after month to tracing out
the outlines, studying the river system,
the climate, products and etc., of some
remote portion of the globe, which
amounts to but little as mental dicipline,
(and to equally as little so far as the
practical worth of such knowledge is
concerned), the student might master
the shorthand or Photographic system
of writing, which for mental training is
for superior to geography as now taught,
and as information is certainly vastly
more beneficial. So instead of Rhetoric
there should be placed in the hands Of
the student mineralogy, and great por
ton Of the time now devoted to grammar
should be spent on botany, chemistry

The State Fishery Force, which is composed OF
the Governor, Comptroller, Treasurer, Commits
sioner Of Lands and Clerk Of the Court Of APP
peais,. at meeting In Annapolis on Thursday
last, decapitated Capt. Forrest, deputy eOmlnan-
der Of the Oyster Police Boat on the Patuxen'
and replaced him with Mr.. Joseph P. Sellers, Of
Calvert. In view Of the well-kuown facts that
Capt. Forrest is acknowledged to have made a
most faithful and competent officer, and that he
represented a county which has double the acre
age in oyster lands that Calvert has and more
than Charles and Calvert have combined, his dis
placement is surprise to our people, particular
y as the Captain Is the only one Of the four Dep
uty Commanders whose commissions had expired
that was dropped BY the Board. What has the
Captain done or lcft undone, or is his va
carious punishment, the real culPrit aimed at be-
ing st. Mary's county and the real offence, the
disbelief OF our people in third-term candidates

The MARYLAND GRAHGERs.-To-
6acco Eapecfi0n.--At late meeting OF
the Maryland Changers in Baltimore,
the portion of the Grand Masters re-
port q. T. Moore, Of Montgomery coun-
ty,) touching the tobacco inspection
question was referred 10 special COM
miitee of seven, of which Capt. George
Thomas, of this county, was Chairman.
The Committee have reported that they
approved the position taken by the Mas
ter and recommend that that portion
of his address bearing upon this topic.
together with the report made by the
Tobacco Committee to the State Grange
al lis session, be printed for distribution,
not only among members OF the order,
but among others interested, with a
view of bringing the whole subject
prominently before the public, in order
that the subject may enter into the next
canvass as one vitality affecting the in
terest OF our important industry, upon
which Legislation is imperatively de-
manded. The portion ofthe Master Is,
substantially, that the present system OF
inspection is being run, not in the in
terest of the tobacco growers, but Tor
the benefit of party and involves loss
TO the planters of over $4,000 per an
mum. The mode Of redress is equally
clear. The planters must uni!e IN Their
demands and must make their pOscer felt.
Unfortunately, our organization is not
strong in the planting section of the
State. To the subordinate oranges d.
recily interested in this question, then
strongly appeal. You are laboring UNI
der burden grievous and heavy to be
borne. As men and as Patrons you
should rise to the occasion. The order
elsewhere throughout the State stands
ready 10 take you by the hand, but upon
yourselves must rest the responsibility
Of vigorous attack and determined ems
deayor. The time fer acton is the pre-
sent and early future. It's to De hoped
that the order in Southern Maryland
will take this question into serious con-
sideration, and that the representation
at our next State meetings will show
that the planting interest means work
in this, as IN other matters, to them, as
to the order at large, of serious import.
The representatives of the tobacco
growing counties in our next Legisla-
ture should be made 10 know their duty
in this important particular"
