The Commune IN BALTIMoRE.-The
Communists party, which has gained
such strength in New York, Chicago,
Cincinnati and other cities, exists in
Baltimore as well, and although its num-
bers are not as large, yet ii is thorough
" organized and its members reside in
every section of the city. The So
cialists las they openly avow them
selves) of Baltimore are composed oil
three observation-disclosures, English
Tor American) and Bohemians. Other
nationalities are admitted, but the three
sections existing in the city are known
as above. They are by no means COM
posed of mechanics or even working
men exclusively. Many of them are
saloon keepers, bar tenders or mere
idIers, while portion of them are la
borers, and but few are artisans. The
object Of the order is. in their own lam
guage, the organization Of political
party which shall enact laws to suit
their own views in regard to the func-
tons of the state and the allotment OF
property. They meet weekly, and
their gatherings are well attended.

cent election. that female suffrage
had been defeated, every married
man in the State stood up before
his wife and swore an awful oath,
round and strong as a Limburger

amendment; but as their pro;esta

don't agree, their wives are as yet
undecided whether to keep them
under the bed few days longer,

The Latest in Hats.

A lady who attends all the open
ings put the subjoined story into
shape: We stepped into millin-
er's shop the otherday on busi-
ness, and accidentally sat down on
a bonnet that some one had laid
on the chair. We remained there
until no one was looking in our
direction, aud then we quickly got
up and stepped on one side.
There was a l,dy in at the time
iiuuking for bonnet shaped to
suit her. She finally found the one
we had finished, and it just took
her fancy. II was just what she
wanted, SO she said.
Says an exchange: The more
a hat resembles cartwheel IN

alton, and a millinery, establish
ment in general ''meke uP," the
more pleasing it will be to the'av

THAT WIFE OF MINE,
Is, in the words of the able critic
OF the Boston Jonrnrl. agreeably
disappointing. 1t really marks
a decided advance in authorship,
and is better book, every way,
than its predecessor. 1t has a
stronger plot-and more oft; the
characters are more distinct in
their individuality and better
drawn: and the construction is
not SO slight and trifling as in
the other book. The "wile" this
time is German girl, Lissa-
bright, capricious, wilHul, affec-
tionate, tantalizing. The ''hus
band" is the "Char lie" of the 9th
er book, whose traits-as he is
this time the teller of the story
are not particularly enpha-
sized. The Professor, Llssa's
brother; "Jo,' Charles halt sister;
Miss Walters, with whom the
Professor is atykwardly but des-
perately in low; and "Tiddy,'
a negro woman, are among the
other characters
HIS OWN MASTER

which will awaken the enthusi

Jacob Fortune, the hero of the
book, is poor boy who, on the

"JUST HIS LUCK"
This is a book written with
great spirit, has strong tone of
likelihood about it, and abounds
in those incidents and situations
which cannot tail to awaken the
enthusiasm, and cause the heart
to beat with sympathy. 1t deals
with real flesh and blood boys;
with toys in whose composition
the Old Adam plays prominent
part; with boys who possess many
noble qualities Of mind; with boys
of generous impulses aud large
hearts; with boys who delight in
playing pranks, and who are ready
for any sort OF mischief; and with
boys in whom human nature is
strongly engrafted.

doors are open, the men on the

steamer would have been breath

"Ilold onP' shouts Captain
McCabe, and the men see that
it is only practice.
"What was the time when
the driver shouted ready?" CAP
tain McCabe asked the reporter.
'Ready and the sixth second
came together"
'Now, look around and see
whether the horses are har-

Every strap and buckle was

'Now we'll do it over again

The horses were unhitched,
and at a signal trotted back to
their stalls. This time the men
were in their places, but the
shadow of an instant less than
six seconds was the only diff
ference that they made in the
time.
As the reporter had timed the
team, he had been able only TO
hear them make the remarkable
time, and on the third trial Cap
tain McCabe held the clock so
that the work could be seen;
but the effect OIL the eye was
even more confusing than it had
been to the ears. There was an
indiscriminate mingling of man
and horse, and in six heart beats
perfect order out of a chaos of
steamer, hose-cart, blue-shirt-
ed firemen and snorting horses.
Since the introduction of
steam fire-engines there has
been constant effort TO reduce
the time between the fire sig
nal and the getting upon the
street, and of late years some
remarkable time has been made.
But the most sanguine fire
man never dreamed that, with
the present arrangements, il
would be possible to do it in
