GS~There is great deal of heart burning and
bad feeling in the temperance world on the subject
of Murphy and Murphy's financial speculations.
1t is particularly unfortunate for the causehe
presents that Mr.. Murphy should carry with him,
as he apparently does, the elements of discOrd, go
where he will (aI it was in Pittsburg so it is in
Washington) but it is the more unfortunate that
the chords should be struck on so ignoble theme
as the ''mammon of this world" We must fear
that Murphy's explanations (when given) are dis
ingenious. Why not frankly avow that dollars
and dimes go very far to make up the measure of
his faith in temperance? On this basis he could
take his stand as a man should. and he would get
Just so much of the dross Others land not him
self thought he was worth. lie has the gift of a
public speaker and he proposes to hire his servi-
ces to the highest bidder-it is his grand preropa-
tive so to do-and we cannot blame him. But if
he wishes to be regarded in the light of a human
itarian or philanthrOpist and one who is willing
to devote his Oratorical abilities for the good of
temperance out of pure love, his conduct is open
to criticism, and to the possible charge of incon-
sstcncy, for certainly he has very decided opin-
ion as to his personal (the lion's) share of the
loaves and ishes.-PittsJurg Sunday Leader.

HEATING CITY BY STEAM.-A despatch from
Lockport New York. dated February oath, says ::
"The experiment of heating this city by steam
under the Holly system has proved highly success
full. The following practical results are reported
by those having it in charge: Three miles of pipe,
properly covered with non conducting material,
laid underground through some of the principal
streets, radiates from central bOiler-house. and
fifty different dwellings and other edifces including
one large public school building, have been thor
oughly warmed all winter by steam thus distribu-
ted and turned or off, as required by the ten
ant, with the facility of water or gas supply
Dwellings more than mile distant from the steam
generator heated readily as those next door.
Steam meters arc provided, that each party need
pay only for what he consumes. tits claimed that
the system be so developed as to furnish steam
at fifty pounds pressure, transmitted through
twenty miles of pipe, thus supplying power for
engines and manufactures, and steam for baking
and laundry purposes, for extngushing confagra-
TONS for cleaning streets of ice snow, or protect
ing hydrants from frost. The rates actually
charged to the consumer here do not exceed what
his coal and wood cost him to produce the same
result thus saving the expense of engineers or fire
men, the cost of furnaces and the trouble of man
aging them. At the same time the heat is always
under control"

ONLY ONE ASPARAGUS PLANr--Anybody who
will pay the least attention to various ways in
which people grow Asparagus, cannot help but
observe that the great difference in the appear
anco of this glorious vegetable in our markets as
well of our own raising is entirely owing to cul-
tivaton. We have never yet discovered more than
one variety, but vast difference in the product.
This is owing altogether to the afuence of the soil
wherein it is grown, and the kind of manure APP
piled. You cannot make an Asparagus bed too
rich. The plant is greedy feeder, and after Civ
ing it all the manure you can, you can empty your
meat pickle barrel, or bag or two of salt upon
the beds, after the third year from planting. Be
fore that it will destroy the young plants.-Ger-
mamto,om Telegraph.

of Talbot, at present Secretary of State, is men
toned in connection with the next democratic
nomination for the office of Governor of Maryland.
The friends of Mr. HOllyday are too late; the
nomination has already been disposed of, and Mr..
Archer, of Hartford county, has the inside track
Denton Union.
The Easton Ledger and other papers seem to
concede Mr.. Archers nomination by the Democratic
party. Our distinguished fellow citizen, the Hon.
Henry w. Archer, who is here spoken of if elected,
will make one of the most heightened, honorable
and capable Governors that has ever graced the
Gubernational Chair of our State, and there is no
other gentleman in the ranks of the Democratic
party, whom we would prefer seeing Governor
Hacre-de- Grace Republican.

are constantly in receipt of large orders and last

This is a great benefit to farmers of this section
as heretofore they have been obliged to haul their
fertilizers 10, II and Is miles.
On the goth inst. Mrs. Frederick Lewis gave a
grand quilting party, which was attended by a
large number of ladies and gentlemen. An ele-
CANT supper was served and a. jolly time general
ly enjoyed.
Fishermen are now very busy and sein- hauling
is in order. On the night of 22d Mr.. George Ed

is considered big work for this of the year.
On Sunday last Rev. Mr.. Murphy preached an
excellent sermon in Ebenezer church, to a large

NEEDs-TEMPERAYcE, &C.-Mesrs. Editors =
The wheels of industry continue to revOlve; no
strikes or stoppages as in other localities prevail
here, other than what is imperatively necessary
for repairs, &c. This factory, which is stone
structure, has been in operation for some sixty
years. Its walls are massive and quite capable of
bearing the pressdfe of action and reaction to
which they subjected, by the light and ponder
Gus, the simple and complicated machinery which
may be seen in operation in every department.
A hundred more hands hasten at the ringing of
the bell to the various occupations cOnfded to
their charge. Situated upon the left bank of the
Gunpowder its water supply is never failing. The
sound of its many wheels is like the roar of many
waters, rising above the hill tops, reechoed along
the valleys, and reaching far away upon the bosom
of the turbid stream. At 6 p. m. motion ceases
and mechanical life becomes quiet.
literary society or reading room would be of
much benefit to the youth of this village, which
would offer, after hours of labor Opportuni-
ties for mental improvement, as this is the time
1 best adapted when quiet and retirement are on the
I ascendant. As a class of operatives they will
