Grand Jury Report.

We, the Grand Jury Of the State Of Maryland,
for the body Of 81. Mary's county, do most res
pectfully report, that we have made diligent ex-
animation Of the Levy List for the year 1878, as
prescribed BIZ law, and End the gross amount Of
assessable property TO be 8, s99 LOG 80 and that
the total expenses for county purposes is $2s,-
All "a, being a reduction on last year Of S3,-
522 30 as appears from the published list fur
uished as aforesaid but IL further appears that
the amount provided for Commissions to Collec-
tors and other charges are not included in the
sum total for the present year, as il should be
and has been heretofore, and We are therefore I'M
able to ascertain from said list what is the real
amount Of charges that has been provided for
We would therefore recommend that the County
Commissioners do hereafter publish each item Of
expenditures which Is TO be met by the tax pay-
ers OF the county, and they should be .nore fully
set out and exposed TO public view. We find
that a large amount Of ee:..iences for road ex-
penses Of past years has been provided for, and
We hope the COur.sy Commissioners will be care
ful not to allow the road expenses hereafter to
exceed the annual levy for that year. We also
md levied for meals &c, provided for the Trus-
tees Of the PooF's Boase, the sum OF twenty dol
lars We submit that, in our opinions, this is
m improper charge upon the taxpayers Of the
county and should not be allowed. We find the
amount levied for pensions 10 be one thousand
seven hundred and tIirty-four dollars, and from
our personal knowledge We are convinced that
there are a number Of persons drawing pensions
who are able to support themselves, and TO some
who are taxpayers. We deem that greater care
sLuid be exercised in providing for this class of
paupers to avoid encouraging idleness and in
creasing the burdens OF the industrious. We
would further recommend that at the next an
nual levy and / n each levy following a sufficient
amount be levied for road purposes and for jurors
to enable the County Commissioners TO pay cash
down for these purposes for the ensuing years.
In accordance with our duty we have visited the
county Jail, and after thorough inspection, we
have found the same in n clean and comfortable
condition; every accommodation has been made
to add TO the comfort of the prisoners while suit
able precautions have been taken to preserre
health. &C. We would recommend, IL PossibIes
that occasional exercise be given to those Wa
may he confined therein. In this alonefeld
the comfort Of prisoners be added to! Ia e0n-
clusion, we most respectfully tender 70 xrlr
Honors, the States Attorney and ShetiH
thanks for the very courteous and kind asslstafSs
which you have rendered Us in the discharge y
our duties, aud as those duties have all beer con-
cluded, we most respectfully ask TO bc discharg-

their support.
On The lst'of May, 1876, the ownership and
control of The World passed into the hands Of
the undersigned, under whose absolute and IN
trammelled direction The World has ever since
remained and now remains.
During the whole Of this time The World has
labored patiently and perseveringly tor the &C
complishment Of two great objects in politics oil
paramount interest to the Southern people.
/. The restoration Of Local SelfGovernmeni
at the Souih.
II. A Real Reform Of the Civil Service, in such
wise as 10 destroy the political machines under
the operation Of which IL has come 20 pass that
the people are taxed to support political parties,
whereas political parties have no other reason Of
being except 10 lessen the burdens Of govern
ment.
The first Of these objects has been triumphant
ly accomplished. All intelligent Northern men
now admit that all parts Of the country were as
deeply interested as the South in seeing IL won.
the South was n permanent peril to the ascenden-
CIV Of true American principles in the Federal
Government and therefore 20 the peace aud honor
Of the whole people.
The second political object for which The
World contends still remains 70 be fully achieved
The actual Administration began its career with
excellent promises in this direction Of which IL is
sufficient 20 say that they have been as yet only
in part redeemed. The World for its part will
resolutely support any honest effort 70 redeem
these promises fully, By whomsoeVer made aud
will as resolutely denounee every obstacle thrown
in tie way Of redeeming them, from whatever
quarter.
It seems 10 the undersigned eminently proper
that be should ask the cooperation Of the best
men Of the South with The World ia its Efforts
20 carry out The policy here outlined. He be-
lieves The World 70 be paper which Southern
citizens and Democrats can recommend TO South
ern readers as an influence worthy and impor-
tant TO be brought 70 bear with constantly in
cTeasing power upon the conduct Of our national
affairs, in the interest Of truth, Of justice and d
harmony among our people Of all sections.
II Is nv desire 20 keep The World In = living
relation with the best thought ofthe South. 70 the
end that the best ideas, wishes add feelings Of
the Southern people may be clearly and fairly
made known 10 the North, the East and the
West Alike in private and In public affairs the
misunderstanding Of men by one another lies al
the root Of so much evil that the word itself has
come 10 lie a synonym with quarreiing and
strife. II was a wise saying Of Lord Elgin, at
the time Of one Of our sharpest disputes with
Great Britain, that two intelligent gentlemen
alone on a raft in the Atlantic with plenaFy
powers could adjust the whole matter honoFably
in an hour.
The World simply asks its friends at the
South 10 aid IL ia bringing about q complies
meeting Of minds on all public questions between
the intelligent citizens Of all parts Of the Union

The Mother.

There is something in sickness
that breaks down the pride of man.
hood; that softens the heart, and
brings it back to the feelings of in
fancy. Who that has languished,
even in advanced life, in sickness
and dependency; who that has
panied on a weary bed. in the neg
lect and loneliness of foreign land,
but has though of the mother "that
looked on his childhood that sooth-
ed his pillow and adlninist cred to
his helplessness? Oh there is an
enduring tenderness in the love of a
mother to son, that transcends all
other affections of the heart. 1t is
neither to be chilled by selishness,
nor daunted by danger, nor weaken
ed by worthlessness. nor stifed by
ingratitude. She will sacrifice every
comfort to his convenience she will
surrender every pleasure to his en-
joyment she will glory in his fame,
and exult in his prosperity-and, il
misfortune overtake him, he will be
dearer to her from misfortune. and
if disgrace settle upon his name, she
will still love and cherish him in spite
of his disgrace and if all the world
beside cast him off, she will be al
tie world to him -EG.

Thoroughbred VS.. Common
Sheen.

A farmer in this country who is
supposed to own as good common
sheep as anybody in this locality
sheared his flock. and after weighing
the f1eeces, found that each sheep
averaged two and a half pounds.
Take the whole number of sheep in
this State and they probably will
not average more than the above.
Say thai wool is worth twenty cents
per pound, the profits from each
sheep will be fifty cents. Take now
an estimate of feeces of the thor
oughbred Merino and Cotsweld,
which will not everage less than
eight pounds per head-the net pro-
fits on each sheep, SLIGO or 81 10 in
favor Of the thoroughbred will COM
mand a higher marketable value.
Now its costs the same to raise the
thoroughbred 40 the common sheep;
the mutton Of one is as good as the
other; the profits of the wool
of the thoroughbred is three
times greater than from the common.
Every farmer owning a fock OF
sheep should make it convenient to
purchase thoroughbred ram to i'm
prove the quality and yield Of his
wool; such an investment will pay.
