Enormous Waste.
From the Cecil Democrat.

From the Cecil Democrat.
1t is startling fact that during only
six years of Grants administration more
money was expended by the Govern
ment than for the seventy-two years up
to 1860 that the Democrats and Wings
controlled public affairs. This alone
is sufficient to shock every honest citi-
zen, irrespective of party, and certainly
is worthy of Republican faith, as it does
from the records the Treasury Depart
ment. Why this enormous outlay, moi
a cent of which went to the payment
of the public debt, when peace reigned
throughout the length and breadth OF
the land ? The answer is given In the
history of the corrupt practices fol
which the Grant administration was SO
infamous. A different condition Of
things existed after the Democrats were
placed in the majority in the house, in
1875. The net ordidary expenditures
for the previous year were Sl94, 900 ;
but in 1875 they amounted to only Sill,
900 900 and were reduced in 1878 to
Sl34, 100000. Good effects of Demo-
cratic care over the public treasury II
the Democratic party could accomplish
this much in the face of a Republican
President and Senate, how much grea-
ter would be its success with all the ma
chinery of government in its hands /!

An UuSOlVed Mystery.

On the farm of Mr.. Jas. McIntire,
aboat midway between Elkton and Glas-
Cow, there Is an Insignificant pond,
about twelve or fifteen yards in dame
ter and not deep. The pond has no out
let except in very rainy season, and is
not within several hundred yards of a
running stream, yet, strange to say, its
waters are full of catfish-sO full of them
indeed, that the feelers with which these
fish are furnished are visible above the
surface of the water, when 1t is low, Civ
ing it the appearance of being full OF
grass. Three years ago this summer, the
water in this Iond, owing to the heat
and drouth, evaporated, and Mr.. McIn-
tire found about bushel of the fish ly.
ing dead upon the bottom of the pond
which he hauled upon his field for ma
nure. Atthis time he he cleaned out
the POND and obtained several loads OF
muck from it, which he used for ma
nure. Now the pond is again stocked
with cat fish and also has some sun fist
in it. How did they get there?-Ceci

The Sad Fate Of two Ambitious
Women.

1t seems but few years ago when
Louis Napoleon was seated on the throne
ofFrance, apparently firmly His wife, the
empress Eugene, greatly admired in
youth for her remarkable beauty, rejoiced
the prospect of the perpetuation of the
dynasty through their only son. OF all
women in the world there was scarcely
the measure of whose ambition could be
said to be more completely filled than
that of the empress Eugenie.
Louis Napoleon was not content with
the maintenance of his power at home.
lie sought to establish in imperial form
the power. of the Latin race on the
American continent. There was another
woman in Europe whose ambition was
greater than that of Eugene, and it was
ungratified. This was Carlotta, wife Of
the archduke Macmillan, of Austria.
So when the emperor of the French
sought ruler to be placed upon the
throne in Mexico he found Macmillan,
prompted by his restless and aspiring
wife, ready for the venture.
We all know how cruelty Louis Napo-
leon neglected the archduke after he
had once set him up =; how ignominious-
ly the attempt to maintain an empire fell
how Macmillan, after mockery of a
trial before court martial composed OF
inferior officers, was shot. Then the in
tellect of the ambitious Carlotta went
out, and she, poor creature, was consign
ed to madhOuse.
Soon after followed the downfall OF
Louis Napoleon, fastened by rash ex-
pertinent in Mexico he himself died,
powerless in exile; and finally his blood
becomes extinct in the death, at the hands
of common negroes in South Africa, OF
his son and heir. Engenie is left as mis-.
cradle as Carlotta. 1t is a fate they lit.
tie anticipated.
How little any of us know what bitter
things may be in store for us.

A certain out house on the College
lot was burned down for the fourth
time on Wednesday night. The
cremation of that edifice seems to
be a standard amusement for BRAIN
less sophOmOres. We win only
suggest to the College authorities
that their improved character tor
vigilance will suffer if they fail to
detect the perpetrators, and, having
detected, to infiict exemplary pun
fshments. Alarms of this sort are
both expensive and injurious 20 the
city, and a wanton outrage on the
iremen, who are a patriotic and
seIf-sacrificing body Of men, and
ought not TO be tTi1ed with. A
word 10 the students in general:
You are not, many of yOq, such
idiots As to be gFatitied with these
stupid escapadea, but you all suffer
in regard to your characters Of sense
and propriety, and should make
common cause in breaking up such
folly.

How many heart has breathel it low,
In tremuIOus, dispairing tone,
And grief, that none but God can know.
The bark of life may seem to sail
Upon a calm and waveIess sea,
And lightly bound before the gale,
Careering proudly. firm and free.
And yet that little bark may be
The weary 'bidi.ag place of grief
OF brooding woe and misery
That vainly seek on earth relief
Alone, that cold, harsh word, aionet
It chiIIs the Iife-blood round the heart;
'Tis uttered with waflipg moan,
And bitter, binding tear-drops start.
Yet some are in the world alone,
With countless numbers thronging near
No trusting friends to call their own,
No voice to breathe sweet tones of cheer.
But, oh, in sorrows darkest hour,
Our Father, every storm can calm.
The winds and waves ooey His power,
And He will pour healing balm.
Upon the troubled, restless soul,
If unto Him in faith we go;
Yielding our all to His control,
He'll stay the rushing tide of woe.

Across an angry, rolling sea

Our Father, God, is ever near.

with the Republican Executive
Committee OF New York, his office
being IN the same building with
and close adjoining to the. rooms of
the COMMITTEES. In the bill as first
drafted the clause giving these cleo
tion officers the power Of arbitrary
arrest was not contained; but the
committee on consultation decided
that 1t would not effect their par-
pose without such a clause, and the
clause was telegraphed by Daven-
port to 8 Republican member of
Congress and added as an amend
ment t. the original bill after it had
passed its second reading in the
House.
Thus was the supervision Of cleo
tions taken out of the hands of State
officers and vested in those Of Fede-
raj officials, with the power of
appointing an indefinite number Of
subordinates, all possessing the
power Of arbitrary arrests, and in
practice the jaiIs and brOthels were
raked over to find partisans suffi-
