which was trimmed with heavy black
chenille fringe. All Of this style
have very long trains.
The polonaise is still popular and
worn long to be used with trained
skirts.
The hats are almost any shape.
The English walking-hat still remains
in great favor for shopping. The
styles have undergone but little
change, but the greatest novelty Is
the flower bonnet 1t is composed
entirely of flowers mixed perhaps with
small quantity of ribbon.
Coats of light color and texture
were never so much worn as this
spring. They are cut not too long to
be stylish and about haf-htting to the
figure. The handsomest have nc
trimming on the bottom but are simP-
ly hemmed. Those trimmed with
ball fringe are not nearly as prett
and stylish. PIcKENs.

Speech of EEOn. We. Mem. Mckaig.
IN THE HOUSE OF DELEGATES,
March 30, 1878.

It's admirable qualifications in that
respect have ere this attracted the at
tention of more than one of New
England's practical bus' ness men.
Capitalists engaged in extensive man
ufactures in the North rave contem-
plated moving their establishments to
our C ty to be nearer their coal sup
plies, but having failed to procure
from our only line of transportation
a rate that would enable til elm to COM
pete with rival manufactures they
were reluctantly forced to abandon
he project.
Sir, | venture the assertion that the
provisions Of this bill, if passed and
carried out in good faith, will tend
materially, by causing the waste
places of the State to blossom and
boo Il, and revive the languishing
industries of the State-to rehabili-
tate the depressed FORTY les Of The
through routes, and fill Ia " depleted
hers by the additional freightage
hat will seek the marts of commerce
over their lines
Mr.. Speaker, the manifest intention
Of this bill is the correction Of great
abuses that have developed them
elves in the carrying trade of the
g. ntry, and to prevent in the future
i unjust imposition Of freight dis
elimination by common carriers
against shippers who are entitled tc
equality of terms. 1t is not contem-
plated that it shall impose any unjust
or even inconvenient burdens on such
common carriers. 1t does not at,
tempt to regulate and fix a maximum
or minimum Of rates of freights and
charges, or to deal in matters of de,
tail as to transportation, but merely
seeks to establish solid and firm
basis in commercial transactions upon
which all the various interests Of oul
immunity can rest under the benign
and equable protection of the State tc
which all classes of its citizens are
clearly entitled.

An Explanation OF the Weight
Trouble al Hoffman.

Mr.. Editor In regard to the three
DAYS the Consolidation Coal Compa-
ny gave full weight for all coal load
ed on their mining cars at Holman
mines last week, much has been said
and the company misunderstood,
They do not wish the men to load over
two tons on a car, nor do they exact
more than the canaeity OF their cars,
which &c two tons when loaded from
eighteen to twenty inches above Level
of bed.
When more than two tons is loaded
on car it endangers loss of coal, and
makes accidents liable to happen at
any time along the route the coal is
hauled by the small engines.
If car falls short of two tons the
company gives and takes on fifty
pounds, which is satisfactory and fair
to both sides.
We are informed that from one-halt
to three tourths of the cars loaded fall
short of two tons. The company as
before said cannot allow car to be
loaded beyond its capacity. They
only wish to protect their property
from accidents by overlooking and
to keep the track open for the benefit
of the three-fourths of the men who
load less than two tons per car.

In this volume we have for the first
time what may be termed guide
book descriptive of the counties and
the people of Maryland. 1t combines
the best qualities of a directory and a
gazetteer, and furnishes in a condensed
form the merchant and the tradesman
who have dealings in any part Of the
State with much that it is important
for them to know. 1t gives the his
tory and population Of the coun-
ties, towns and villages, the names
and location of the post-ofIices of the
churches and their pastors and of the
merchants, manufacturers, profession
al men, farmers, planters and mechan-
les together with the price and quail
ty of farming and other lands and their
productive capacity. To Immigrant
from abroad, as well as those of other
States who are seeking new homes Ill
Maryland, the information thus i'm
parted will be found invaluable, and,
whether as guide book, gazetteer
or a book Of reference, it responds to
want that has long been felt, and
may be consulted with profit.

IT has been suggested to us that it
would be beneficial and economical
to use side boards on the mining cars
where pillars are being drawn. More
coal could be gotten out Of the pillars
and the miners would not have so
much mason wor k to do with the soft
coal. Let there be penalty proper
ly executed and all concerned would
be benefited.

Some months ago we had Baby
Show, now we ere bringing out our
dogs. The former exhibition was an
entire failure; it remains to be seen
whether the latter will be or not
The dogs are owned by wealthy sport
ing-men all over the United States,
and have been sent here to be exhib-
tied and compete for the prizes. There
has been lately organized what is
known as the Baltimore Kennel Club,
who have bought piece of land at
Hanover Switch, station on the
Washington Branch Of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad. There are at
present only nine members, but these
are supposed to make up in quality
what they lack in numbers. Some Of
the CANNES at the show are very val
liable, one having been sold not long
ago for the tremendous sum of siutg-
three thousand dollars, and another is
valued at fifty thousand dollars. OF
course, these are the most costly, tie

and one hundred TO ten thousand
dollars.

IMPORTANT SURGICAL OPERATION
On last Saturday, DR.. w. f, Fun
denberg, of Cumberland, Nd. who is
still stopping at the Bedford House,
removed the right eyeball from a
daughter ten years old Of Mr.. VIM.
ReGinger, who lives in Black Valley
three miles from Everett. The little
child when only five years old had Il
bad attack of scarlet fever, which re-
suited in destroying the sight Of the
right eye entirely and very nearly so
of the other, since which time tumors
have been growing t1rom both eye
balls, the right one projecting down
on the cheek at least an inch and a
half. The operation was necessary to
preserve the health Of the child and
possibly improve the condition OF the
remaining eye. The little sufferer
returned home on Tuesday morning.
The Doctor was ably assisted by Drs.
Griffith and Clark of this place.
