Look at this Picture.

1t is estimated that a sufficient
quantity of Intoxicating liquor is used
annually in the United States to fill
a canal four feet deep, fourteen feet
wide, and 100 miles long The liquor
saloons in New York alone, placed
in opposite rows, would make street
eleven miles in length while those
in the United States would make a
double row 100 miles long. ii the
victims were cOngregated on this
liquor Broadway, we would see a
suicide every mile, and thousand
funerals a day. If all the drunkards
were drawn up in battle array, in
two ranks, they would form line
225 miles long. What an army of
victims Every hour in the night
the heavens are lighted up by the
torch of the drunken incendiary.
Every hour of the day the earth is
Redeemed with the blood split by the
drunken assassin. This great army
is in motion; detachments are con
stantly filing off to The poor-house,
the prison, the scafi'old, and the
drunkards's graveyard, and their
places are constantly filled by recruits
drawn from the camp of instruction
the moderate drinkers. Who can
compute the fortunes squandered, the
hopes crushed, the homes made desc
late, the hearts broken by intem-
perance.

1t has been charged that this paper
is temperance organ. While we do
not admit that any 0dium would at
tach if such were the case, but far to
the contrary, we must disclaim any
such distinction. We are not 1.-THE
organ" of any man, party or or
ganizatiOn, nor do we intend to be.
We advocate temperance, prudence,
fOrbearance, or any and all the virtues
which elevate humanity, regardless of
any mans favOritism or opposition.
We hold to the Democratic faith as
the best guide to political welfare,
but we have in the past denounced
its men and measures, and we may
do so in the future, in terms much
stronger, and more emphatic and
particular. BaltO. County HeI'0 d.
We have been regular reader of
the Herald for some months past, and
we have no hesitation in saying that
i'll every respect it is fully equal to
the best country papers, it has been
our pleasure to read, its topography
far exceeding the majority.
Theindependent, fearless denuncia-
ton of wrong and the able advocacy
of right, has called down UPON the
Her0td the wrath of the rum inter-
e5ts. This is just what any respect
able paper may expect, and is at once
conclusive evidence that the Her0ld

complain you may be sure they are
being held to obedience to the laws.
No man or set of linen will complain,
or have cause to complain, when he
is in the right, obeying the laws, and
pursuing a legitimate business. No
paper can afford to attack such. 1t is
only the law breakers and political
hucksters who complain of fair and
honest expression of opinion.
1t seems to have come to pass,
however, in Maryland that unless u
man is prepared to swallow every
species of party chicanery, hob-nob
with INSCRIPTIONS leaders, and sub
nit to the ''party lash," no matter
by whom administered, or for what
purpose applied to, is no longer q
good Democrat or Republican, and 1T
once the leaders, which III most cases,
are, either rumsellerS or their APP
pointees read him out, or chastise
himuntil he comes into the traces.
The responsibility for this state of
affairs in a great measure rests with
the NEWSPAPERS. 1t is the want of in
dependent, fearless journals, that will
stand up for the right at all risks, and
rather than quietly submit to the
domination of these men, and obey
their behests, expose their infamy
and crush their power. They would
thus purify their party, and main
tain its power. Such papers are
sorely needed at this time, and the
demand will in time make the
supply. The papers that are to-day
taking rank, and making themselves
felt, are the Independent, fearless
papers that prize pinciple above party
leaders. As a rule parties themselYe,
are not far from right, one way OF
the other, upon the vital issues Of the
country, but the leaders are most

Certain facts render it probable
that birds, in some manner, become
aware of cholera infection in the
air, Recent German journals state
hat at Munich, where several
cases of cholera have occurred, the
rocks and crows, which few about
the steeples and through the trees of
the public promenades, have all
emigrated; and the same thing
happened during the cholera sea
sons Of 1886 and 1854. According
to Sir Samuel W. Baker, the same
phenomena occurred at Mauritihs,
where the martins, which exist in
immense numbers the year round,
wholly disappeared during the
prevalence of the cholera.

all that; and yet we all know that
she begins an education with him
as new as if she had never seen the

ideas--are they nothing to her, if
she loves him2 Years after, when
they who "knew her as a girlY come
to talk with her rs a matron, do
they not find her husband reflected
in every sentence, either for good or
evil? OF course, the more strongly
a woman loves the more completely
is her identity absorbed in that Of
her husband. This is a point that
is too much neglected by married
men. A good husband is almost
certain to have a good wife; AID il

on the other hand, he can educate
