A young man from one of the back towns came in to buy pres ent for his girl last week. His won dering gaze being fixed by the gor- geous display of q dry goods win dow, he entered the store and bash fully stopped in front of a pretty young lady behind the counter.
 "How much arc those?" he in quired, pointing at q pair of hand somely-made nickle-plated pair of garters in the window
 "Seventy-fve cents, replied gtke young lady, sweetiy, handing out the articles in question and blushing slightly aezrzz
 Il think they are pretty, don't you2Psinquired the young man an xious for somebody else's opinion
 "very, replied the young miss; they are the latest style,
 "Everybody, wears them, don't they?" continued the young man.
 "Almost everybody" said the young lady, affecting an unconcern- ed air.
 'I was going to get them for  girl that I know,'' said the young mangneryeusly: :Do you think she would Ike them?''
 ''I should think she might-I don't know," returned the young Lady blushing again.
 'Well, I don't know myself" said the young man, picking up one of the dainty articles and examin ing it closely. You don't suppose they are too large, now, do you?" s"yYhy-I-I," stammered the young lady, the blush growing deep sersB ass e az

 "They seem sorter big like, con- tinued the young man, not observ- ing her confusion, "but, of course, wouldn't be certain. She's mid dlin' size, but not very fat, and meb- be these things would be little too loose. 1 should think she was about your bigness; if these would fit you of course they'd fit her. Now, just suppose you try them on, and if-'
 Sir exclaimed the young lady behind the counterin an awful voice that lifted the young mans hat on the end of his hair, "you are insult ingl" and she swept away to the rear of the store. leaving che bewildered young man standing in dumb amaze ment, holding in, his hands what he supposed was . beautiful pair of bracelets.
 And when one of the men clerks came and explained his mistake, the young from the back town struc k a direct line for his team, and in a very brief space of time was tearing to- ward home at rate that threatened to irretrievably ruin the old family horse.
 He won't buy any more bracelets now until he's married.

TIE SEcRET.-The secret Of the long
control which democrats have held in
Maryland is explainable upon the the
DRY, that its excessive officials, what
ever their shortcomings in other re-
speets, have administered their duties
honestly and, generally, with ability.
There is scarcely Q State in the Union
which the Republicans have had unin-
terrupted control Of since the war that
has no. been aEl,cied 10 some Of its de-
partments with dishonest and incompe-
tent officers, and the venality Of this
rarty in It's successive administrations
Of tie National Government since John
son went ont Of Office has passed INTO o
proverb. II j. even asserted that they
have stole eDoUgh TO pay OF the nation
al debt and il is certain they stole the
presidency. Bot we are depressing.
Maryland has had no just occasion to
quarrel with her executive officers since
the war. She stands now, says CO..
temporary, in The very best attitude. and
her bonds are better than United States
money. At the late Convention in Bal
timore the democracy pledged itself still
further 10 maIntain the high standing Of
the State and at the same time look to
q reduction Of taxes, to the abollshment
Of useless Offices, if these exist, and 10
tighten the buElhens Of The people wher-
ever possible. IL IL safe or vOlitic for
Marylanders TO discard . party with
such . record - the democracy has
made in this State s,nce il obtained con-
troll here for party which he's bank

highest places Of national authority
