Hon. Montgomery Blair made the address
at the Bel Air Agricultural Fair, on Wednes-
day of last week, instead of Hon. A. X. Syes-
ter. Mr.. Blair, it is reported in the San, had
been making political speeches in the 9th dis.
trict with Mr.. George Peter, and supposed
he was wanted for a similar service a: Bel
Air, and knew no better until he arrived at
the Fair. Mr.. Blair, however, accepted the
situation, and made the address He said he
was perhaps the most unsuitable person that
could be put up to tell anything about practi-
cal farming. lie owned 1000 acres Of land,
and had to buy his own butter. For half an
hour Mr. Blair continued in an interesting and
humorous strain, to the evident satisfaction
of his many hearers, and proved to be, with a
ready ofhand speech, quite as agreeable as
if he had burned the midnight oil in the prepa-
ration OF a polished essay on stop dressing !"

Thus it will be seen that provisions are as
cheap or cheaper to-day than in 1860, and the
workingman is getting more pay now than
then, while, in 1865, his condition was much
more unfavorable than in any other years.

suffering among the laboring men from lack

Hendricks drops out with the demise of the

So says the Baltimore Gazette. IF our
respected contemporary proceeds to. kill
off, with stroke of its pen, at this rate,
all the most prominent Democrats in the
country, there win not be one left out Of
whom to make a candidate in 1880. We
suggest to our contemporary to weld its

to be an unnatural precaution when it is remembered that one of these operators, if he had obtained any knowledge of Gould's plans, could make thousands of dollars by sell ing It.
 A MILLIONAIRE WITH NO VISIBLE
 PROPERTY.
 He is equally secretive of his wealth. Not one dollar of tangible property, am told, can be found in his name, though he is generally supposed to be worth somewhere from $10,000,000 to $20,000,000. Even the brown-stone front in which be lives belongs to his wife. He said some time ago he did not like property which you couldn't put your hands on when you wanted to, property on which you couldn't realize; he had put all his money into " tangible property" meaning stocks, usually considered to be about as in tangible property as could be desired. MAKING MILLIONS BY PROVING ONES
 SELF A THIEF.
 But the most characteristic thingot all 1 have reserved for the finishing touch. It is a circumstance which. 50 far as l remember, has never been printed before. Some time after Gould was driven out of the Erie railroad, the public was asiplis,-l by an an- nOuncement that E. .ld Da.n com pelled to make rest tim tha Erie railroad of $G,00O,Ot worth 5f prop erty, and we all v,.iercd how so cunning a man had allowed himself to he caught in such position that it was possible to make him disgorge. Perhaps he had made such d mistake, for the shrewdest men will guard against all the chances Of detection, sometimes, save the very one that ought to be guarded most; perhaps the property was Of such nature that he couldn't make advantageous use of it, and I think this was so. Anyhow it paid him a magnificent profit to give it up. For the transac- tion was necessarily kept secret until it had been concluded; meanwhile, Gould, knowing that the news of the roads enrichment to the extent of S6,OOO,0O0 would send the stock up, bought all there was in the market. The announcement was made; up went the stock at least two points, think. And this extraordinary being had actually made more than $6,000,- 100000 out of his own reputation,- Y. T. Corr.

froh tne Eureka NNcV-I LeauerI
 A Mob Hill man retired early last evening, weary with the heat and tir- ed out from protracted siege of pe- dro, and vainly endeavored to WOO the drowsy god, sustained and soothed by the uninterrupted flow of small talk from his waIetul spouse. Her con- versation was not exactly in the line of a curtain lecture, as she was not in an inharmonious mood but was rather seeking information on the worlds work. Her last question to her nod ding lord was in reference to Edison and his inventions.
 How about the phonograph, dear:" she qucried; you never have explained it to me. How does it work :''
 He reused himself and answered:
 Its a little machine that the hus- band leaves on the teble while he is down town, and on his return he turns a crank, and it informs him of every thing that has been said on the prem ises during his absence"
 She meditated moment, then broke out:
 '"The fool men are always getting up some pesky invention, and if you bring one of these things in this house I'll leave'
 He promised not to do so, if she would let him go to sleep, and great silence fell on the room. But she is new firm in the belief that Edison is q monster and an enemy to poor, weak woman.

Education in the Army.

General McCOok, who is ordered to take charge of education in the army, will address circulars to various mill tary posts and stations in order to as- certain what progress is making in that direction, and to efficiently put the system in operation.

Provision is also made for the establishment of schools for the instruction of soldiers children. Gen.
