Vous auriez honte de votre cru
aute 81 vous avieZ ri dun malheur
eux qui a le bras coupe, ct vou
ayez l'lnhumanite de yous divertii
du monde entier qui a perdu Ii
raison !
Democrite. gelui qni perd1
in bras est a plaindre, en- ce qu'i
ne s'est point ote lui-merae ce mem
bre mais celui qui per1 Ia raisor
la perd par sa faute.
H6raclite. He! c'est en- quoi i
est plus a plaindre. Un insense
furieux, qui s'arracherait lui.meme
les yeux, serait encore plus digne
de compassion qu'un autre aveu
gle.
Democrite. Accommodons-nous
il y de quoi nous justifer tous
deux. II y partout de quoi rire
ct de quoi pleurer. LIE monde est
tridicule, ct j'en ris ; il est deplora.
BILE, ct yous en- peurez chacun lie
regarde a sa mode ct suiyant son
temperament Ce qui est certain,
c'est que lie monde est de travers.
Pour bien faire, pour bien penser,
il faut faire, il faut penser autre-
ment que le grand nombre. Sc
regler par fautorite ct par Tex
emple du commuE des hommes,
c'est le partage des insenses.
Heraclite. Tout cela est yrai :;
mais vous n'aimez rien, ct le nal
d'autrui vous rejouit. 0est mai
mer nj les hommes nj la vertu
qu'ils abandonment.
Amis GU ennena;s lecteurs, ct

Quand on est sage, on ne volt rien
dams le monde qui ne paraisse de

Democrite. Vous prenez les
chooses dun trop grand. serieux ::
celia vous fera NAL.
Heraclite. Vous les prenez avec
trop d'enjouement: votre air mo-
queur est plutot celui dun satyre
que dun philosophe- N'etes-vous
pas touche de voir le genre ha-
main 81 aveugle, 81 corrompu, 81
egare ?
Democrite. Je suis bien plus
touch6 de le voir 81 impertinent ct
81 ridicule.
Heraclite. Mais enfn, ce genre
humain don't yous riez, c'est le
monde enter avec qui vous yivez ;;
c'est Ia societe de vos amis, c'est
votre famille, c'est yous-meme.
D6mocrite. Je ne NE soucie
guere de tons les fous que je vols,
ct je me crois sage en- NE moquant
d'eux.
Heraclite. Sils sont fous, vous
n'etes guere sage nj bon de ne les
p'aindre pas ct d'insulter a leur
folie. D'ailleurs, qui vous rGpond
que vous ne soyez pas aussi extra,
VACANT qu'eux I?
Democrite. Je ne pals l'etre,
pensant en- tcate chose lie ccntraire
de ce qu'ils pensent.
Heraclite. II y des folies de
diverses especes. Peut-atre QUA
force de cantredirc les folies des
autres, vous vous jetez dams une
extremite contraire, qui nest pas
moins folle.
Democrite. Croyez-en ce quill
vous plalra, ct pleurez encore sur
moi, 81 vous avez des larmes de
reste pour moi, je suis content de
rire des fous tous les hommes ne
le sont-ils pas? Repondez. |

Editor National Republican
Assured that ignorance exists among the
masses Of the people as to the dement's Of re-
none tization permit one of your subscribers,
who has appreciated the able manner in which
you have presented its merits, to suggest that
you open your columns to a discussion Of the
advantages and disadvantages to be expected
rs a result of the passage of the Bland silver
bill"
Should you see fit TO afford the poorer classes
of Neutrality-suspicious. who work by the day,
week, and mOnth-an opportunity to hear
both sides of the case through your valuable
columns, please give us u statement Of facts as
to characterization, particularly as to when,
how, aud to what extent II was accomplished.
If an excuse for such request be necessary
the statement is offered that all the papers in
the city appear to be on the same side, and it
Is impossible for one unable to pay for an out
side paper to get ut the other side.
You are so sound politically that it is oX-
pectcd you will be just toward those who
differ with you financially. CUNECS.
1t affords us pleasure, so far as we are
capable, to give information to those who
are in pursuit of knowledge under difficult
ties" AS we understand it, the demonetiZa-
ton of silver occurred somewhere about
lS73 and ls7i, by quietly legislating it out
of existence. 1t seems to have been for
gotten or lost from sight in the making or

The Maryland Agricultural Col
legP.

For year or two there has been waged in
Maryland fierce warfare upon the manage
ment Of the State Agricultural College. The
leader Of it seems to be WILLIAM b. SANDS
the junior editor of the Aaerican Farmer, q
gentleman of ability and energy, and evil
IDENTIFY inclined to persistency in whatever he
undertakes His attacks commenced while
he was a member Of the board of management.
They were kept up at the risk of his losing
his place therein, which was the finale, for
he was elected on joint ticket with his OPP
ponents, on the pledge that his election should
only be matter of FORM to Bo followed by
his resigning, which he did forthwith.
The complaint of Mr.. SANDS was that the in.
stituton, which was established by State
legislation and endowed not only with State
funds but likewise with Federal aid, lit gets
5000 year from Maryland and interest on
United States land-scrip, amounting to
- ,2ss.A, making its annual income upward
of $l3OOO,) had failed to use the public money
for the chief purpose contemplated in its char
ter, viz, the education of the youth committed
to its care in knowledge of the science and
practice Of farming; that its professors had,
in fact almost totally ignored this end and
aim, and expended its allotted funds in the
instruction of the sons of Maryland in abstract
sciences, dead languages, and military tactics.
While we had concluded to suspend judg-
ment on the question in controversy until
we could hear both sides, and see for ourselves,
las we intend to do at the first fitting season
and convenient opportunity we confess to
have been prGjudiced somewhat against the
management Under these circumstances we
have read with no little interest a synopsis in
the Baltimore SWH Of the report of the board OF
trustees to the Legislature of the State now in
session, and noted their averments eth a
sense of relief In this report they claim to be
out of debt for the first time in the his
tory of the college, and express the hope
they will soon, with the aid Of labor from the
students, build green. house. and also work
shops and have steam engine and mechanics
tools The study of ancient languages, they
say, Is left optional with students The students
are daily taken into the field by the professor
of agriculture and instructed in the practica
exercise of the farm. Some of the young mel
at the college pay portion Of their expenses
by four hours labor every day on the farm
and are encouraged by liberal compensation
Complaint Is made that the college is assessed
to pay 5000 taxes by the Prince GeOrgeI
County commissioners An appropriation o
IS 900 Is asked from the Legislature.

livclest times at the March term of the Cir

history of the State The men indicted for
the murders of the Goth of April last will be
brought up for trial"
Let us tell the reader that the murders
referred to in this quotation are those of Judge
CmIsoLM, his friends, and son aud daughter,
and how and by whom those indicted for these
barbarous murders are to be tried. The lead
ing spirits in commission of the murders
were the GULLYs, Of Kcmper County. One Of
their number was the regular Democratic can.

an independent Democrat named WELSH,
The latter, II is said was put by the GULLYs
when they found that there was so great u
number of white voters whose disgust was too
deep to admit of their support of the regular
nominee to make his election uncertain in
order to catch both Republican and indcpen-
