Travel by the Allan Line.

''The scenery along the shores Of
the Chesapeake Bay is magnificent.
Our passengers express themselves de-
lighted. The following day Balti-
more, one of the oldest and most I'M
pcrtant Of American seaports, comes
in sight and is certainly one Of the
finest panoramas in the world. Cheer
upon cheer Is given by the crews Of
the ships in the river as we maiesti-
cally glide up against the current.
There is great excitement on deck
one looking for luggage, another with
a pen and ink-or even pencil-writ-
ing, perhaps with a saucepan as q
desk-anxious to send a few lines
home to mother or to wife as the case
may be. Sailors are hustling about,
pulling this and hauling that. The
captain gives his orders from the
bridge in a deep hoarso voice, which
only those that are accustomed to
it could understand. A crowd of
people is standing on a landing-place
on our left, awaiting our arrival.
This is Locust Point and our voyage
by the steamer is at an end.
We especially Recommend this
line to our Washington friends, who
will find in Mr.. D. A. Brosnan, No.
926 G street, N. W., the well-known
bookseller and agent of the Allan Line
at Washington, courteous and ac-
commodating gentleman, always
ready to give any Information and to
assist in every way such persons as
are sending abroad for their relatives
or friends.

A RECENT Annapolis letter to tn
Baltimore Gazette SAYS:

DalIllnOTe OttZeLte ways:
The people of Mount Zion section in
this county are exercised over the tax
rates. They held another meeting on
Saturday, at (which the written opinions
of Judge William H. Tuck and A. B. Hag-
ncr, Esq, were read, saying that the APP
preparations lately made by the county
commissioners for the repairs to the county
Jail, for the bridges over the Severn and
Patapsco rivers, were unconstitutional
and would be SO declared whenever tested
in the courts. An injunction, it is under
stood, is to be applied for, to prevent the
collection of the monies levied for these
objects.
This is a position similar to the one
we took last week with reference to
special appropriations. Respectfully
referred to the Alleganian.

Immense Mass Meeting in
Froslburg.

Mr.. Editor In accordance with
previous arrangements the great COW
ratification meeting came off few
nights ago at II o'clock in front 0.
Mr.. Keller'a store, permission having
been given by the proprietor of Union
street.
The meeting was called to order by
old Mrs. Brindle, a COW Of high stand
ing in the community for superior at
tainments in the toraging business
who proceeded to state the object Of
the meeting as follows:
To give some public expression Of
our heartfelt gratitude to the town
authorities for their prompt and ener-
getic action in our behalf in repeating
the ordinance so long in force to our
great oppression and grievous injury
The first business in order is the cleo
ton of chairman and secretary.
Mrs. Sookie moved that old Mrs.
Brindle retain the chair, and Miss
Heifer be requested to act as secretary.
Adopted by rising vote.
Mrs. Chairman and Miss Secretary
elect advanced to the sign of the Book
Store and were sworn in, holding up
the right hind leg.
The Chairman returned her hearty
thanks for the honor conferred and
expressed the hope that nothing
would occur to mar the decorum Of
the occasion. She concluded by sug-

The Alleqania1a says {:

Cumberland pays about $4,000 of tho
taxes of the county and gets back $4,000
in other words, she pays nearly one-half o
the county taxes and gets beck about one
sixtieth.
Suppose we change above to read
as follows:
The Consolidation coal company
pays $2l,755.93 of the taxes OF the
county and gets back mothang in 9th
er words. she pays nearly one-fth Of
the county taxes and gets back one
l50-th part of $0OO,OOO.OO.
Yet the Consolidation coal company
has as much legal right to 60 before
the Commissioners and claim special
appropriation as the city of Cumber-
land or the towns of Frostburg and
Westernport. If not, then we would
like "to know the reason why"

The labors of the county commits
sioners on the tax levy have been
concluded and their work seems well
done. They had important defcien-
cies to make up, and more than usual
liberality to extend to other quarters,
yey they are entitled to the credit of
reducing county taxation II cents on
the 300. This argues we'll for every
member of the board.
