A Great Increase in the Grain Trade.
Any one who now makes q trip
down the river as far as Fort Carroll
will be astOnished by the activity
everywhere apparent among the
shipping. Excursion steamboats, are
runningto and fro, sloops and schoon-
ers, pungies and canoes are tacking
back and forth, bound for Light street
wharf with decks covered with wat
ermelons, and canteloupes and toma-
toes, or with tirewood and hogsheads
OF tobacco, and near the elevators at
Locust Point and at Canton is fleet
at anchor Of great steamers, with
black hulls and bright red tunnels;
Of ships of the largest size, and of
barks and brigs from far-away lands,
upon whose sterns are. marked names
in strange and unfamiliar language.
Every now and then the view strikes
upon the top of a white sail Just m0y-
ing up from the horizon, and slowly
another great ship sails in to ioin the
fleet, passing on its way one or two
others bound out with cargoes of
grain or flour, may be for Europe or
for South America.
The fleet now here and the fleet to
come are larger than have been
known in the history of the port of
Baltimore. There are now in port 8
st steamers, II ships, SO barks and -
brigs, total Of 81 vessels engaged in
foreign trade, with tonnage of about
8l,7O0 tons. And of the vessels bound
for Baltimore from foreign ports
there are 10 steamers, % ships, 203
barkS and 1t brigS, total of 252 YES
sells, with an aggregate capacity of
about 2l0,S00 tons. This is some
thing unprecedented, and is most en-
COuraging.
The majority Of the fleet will load
with grain for Great Britain and the
Continent, one ship broker alone
having now consigned to him on
grain characters five steamers, eight
ships, five barks and six brigs, all Of
which will arrive by October lst. A
great deal of the wheat now being
shipped is for France, Bordeaux,
Havre, Calais, Hontleur, &C., the crop
in that country having been a short
one this year. The increase in the
exports Of wheat from Baltimore has
been enormous. The total exports
from january lSt to August %, 1877,
were l,006,506 bushels, and in the
same time this year the aggregate
was S,6j2, ,966. an increase of over
seven and a-half millions of bushels.
Ofcorn the experts in 1877 to August
- were II, ,359, ,59S bushels, as against
1883 BOB bushels in 1878. The total
exports of gram by the end of 1878 in
this proportion will be about thirty
one millions of bushels, against 24,-
46,292 in 1877, and 3,S97, ,001 in 1871.

Of it ?" Well, we think you are
fool if you don't stay on the farm.
The city is overrun with dead b a s.

dead sure thing on making bread and
meat on a farm, you'd better stay
right where you are and dig potatoes,

stay on the farm. You are worth
more to yourself, to your neighbors,
to the State and county at large, than
all the one-horse, muttonhead pro
fessiOnal gentlemen that are living
from hama to mouth in this State.
You stick to the plow, the mower,
the reaper; freeze to that farm like Il
fly blister to a negro's lip, raise corn,
wheat. oats, hay, rye, barley, beans,
potatoes, chop wood, mend rails,
burn brush, curry mules, feed oxen,
raise stock and instead of hanging
around street corner, dependent up
on lunch houses to keep sand in
your craW, you will be at home upon
your farm living Il life of independent
happiness, while thousands of nice
young men, too pretty and proud to
work and too lazy to steal, will be
lighting out 'over the hill to the
pOOrhousc, merciless beats and lazy
subjecls of utter dependence upon
public charity.
Young man, if you know which

capitalists we know Of to run it.

WILLIAMS, f. ". c., aged 100 years.
1t is sometimes pleasant to turn
from the exaggerated honors paid the
great and noble, to study "the short
but simple annals of the poor" Few
of that class merit more honorable
mention than this old colored woman.
Her life was rounded to a full centu.
~, the longest portion of which was
passed in tie family among whose
descendants she died. Her faithful
services extended through three gene
ratiOns.
In the dark days Of "the raid" she
Indignantly rejected all overtures of
officers and men, aud chung faithfully
to the family with whom her fortunes
had been cast. In the many helpless
years which preceded her death,
nothing pleased her more than to
gather around her bevy of dark
skinned listeners, and dilate upon the
prodigal hospitality fthe oldeu time,
and her own triumphs in the culinary
art, though not prepared perhaps like
the celebrated FreDchman, to commit
snicide because a conrere sailed his
soup. che was very justly proud of
her skill, and our little town may yet
number some who remembar her
ragouts, az we'll az her name.
Poor old Jenny! her life slipped
peacefully away, kindly cared for by
those who appreciated her past servi
ces. The little fingers of fair young
children filled her pipe with the fra.
grant weed she loved, and looked up
w"nderiugly into her dark face as she
told her dreamy visions Of the better
land, a place, BY the way where the
Fifteenth Amendment was not enforc-
I'd for "tbe cnllud people, and the
white people had each their own
place" She was one of those who
faithful in a few tllir GO" has doubt

Died, on the 18th Of August, 1873, of
Diptheria, ARTHUR JOSEPH, aged
four years and three days. Son of P. +.
Bonis and Mary Hartman.
The subject of this brief memoir was
truly a bright and promising little boy.
Indeed he only seemed lent his parents to
show of what the Kingdom of Heaven is
composed. When he bowed his beaute-
GUS head at his mothers knee, to recite
his infant Pater Noster," and raised his
eyes aloft to earnestly beg God to "bless
all"-he seemed the persrnification Of an
Angel he is one now, and their heart is
like the void that comes, "When a
strain of music dies"
Dear sorrow-stricken friends, your
darling little Arthur has but gone be-
f,re' you.
Tho you never more behold him.
Never hear his winning voice again.
Remember, while you weep that he ia
gone-he awaits you in the "Beautiful
Beyond where he will greet you-to be
reunited evermore. L..

THAT was wise and truthful say
ing of General Gral5's, founded on
observation, when he remarked that
the "Republicans can always depend
upon a Democratic blunder TO help
them out" If they make a mistake
in the enunciation of party platform,
or in the selection of an unpopular
candidate, the inevitable, traditional,
and unerring stupidity of the Bour-
bons is sure to 90 to them one better
and obscure the Republican error by
contrast. The Democratic party had
things all their own way, but in an
evil moment they went into the inves-
tigation committee business then
further damaged themselves by at
lacking the Presidents title, and f.
nally capped the climax of their stu
pidlty, dishonesty, and evil, ambitious
designs, by embracing the wild and
silly heresies of the half-witted green.
hackers, which last move swamped
them in the recent elections, and will

SOME of the County Office

SOME of the County office candi.
dates tell us they would have thanked
US just as much if we had left the last
few lines off our editorial on the cleo
ton of Sheriff. Very well; we take
it back. True or untrue it was i'm.
proper to intimate in print that men
known always to be sober, "would
drink if they had inclination" 1t is
improper because everywhere there
are men of good intent who would
be Influenced by such an acknowl-
edgment, to go against the men they
would favor with all their might, if
their vision were sharp enough to
penetrate shadow. The candidates
on both the Republican and waggle-
wiggle wiggle-waggle tickets (The
reader may think of Dundreary's con-
numdrum) are temperate to refinement.

II is announced from Madison that
Mr.. King will contest the election Of
Mr.. Hazelton in Congress. Judging
by the past he has data on which to
base and hope for success. The pres
ent Congress at its last session tire W
out several Republicans evidently
without Justice and for no other reas.
on than that the contestants were
Democrats. The late election was a
lesson that doing so was bad policy,
but there il possibility that the
choice of next President may fall up
on the States in the House and by
throwing out Hazelton Wisconsin
could not be counted for the Repnbli-
cans, as her delegation would then
tie on 4 Republicans and 4 Demo-
Gratis. Unless this possibility is kept
in view we think, however, that Owen
King Will contest in vain. He is not
a bright luminary to whom the Dem.
ocracy will look with deep anxiety.
They can get on as well without him
and to face down Mr.. Hazelton's
clear majority of 121 would not set
well with tie people.
