of Congress from the I'd Maryland district, whose
successor is Hon. j. Fred. c.. Talbot, of your
county, ut Mt. Vernon Hotel, Thursday evening
next, will be political as also social ovation of

ination of Maryland, in the interest of Hon. VIM.
Pinkney Whyte and his special friends who were
whipped into the Hamilton movement Hon. s.
Teacke Wallis lis to preside at the banquet. Some
fifty OF more persons are to participate, amongst
whom Messrs. John w. Garrett, Decatur ii.
Miller, President of the Board of Trade; John
Middleton, President of the Corn and Flour Ex-
change Mayor Latrobe, James Hodges, and others
representing different business interests. The ap-
parent object, as published, is to offer n fitting
compliment to Mr.. Roberts on account of his SER
vices favoring Baltimore commercial interests
when in Congress. This, | imagine, is about all
really intended, several of those who participate
are known as strong Hamilton men and support
of his nomination for Governor. 1t is not
likely Mr.. Roberts would accept an independent
nomination in opposition to Mr.. Hamilton, de-
pending upon Republicans and independent Dem
ocrats for support. 1t is now too late for him to
get before the people in any other way aspir-
ant for the Governorship. Hamilton has fully and
entirely the inside track and will keep it. If
beaten at all it must be by Republican opponent
united upon by opposition elements Of all kinds.
1t is, however, proper to say just here that Mr..
Roberts is very clever gentleman and deserves
the honOrs bestowed upon him.
l learn with regret that Madame jerome Bona

Within the past two weeks not less than thirty
new houses have been commenced inside the "Belt,"
in the county, north of Boundary avenue. The
prospects that n hundred more buildings of
different kinds, mostly for residences. win be built

recommended on st. Michael's and All Angels

Paul and Denmead streets The hope is to
plete it without any further suspension on account
of deficiency in money. A large number of Bal
timore's most intelligent citizens constantly attend
that place of worship, only temporary chapel.
Rev. Mr. Moody still continues to preach and
draw immense congregations, doing much good.
He will probably remain in Baltimore five or six
weeks longer and then leave, not to return again
except perhaps friendly visit.
The mission" movement has created and is
among our Episcopalian ministers and citizens
generally. 1t seems likely to cause a scsm among
the high and low churches. There are those who
suspect it to be Roman Catholic movement in
Disguise calculated, in time, to draw off converts
to Catholicism. If, however, it does good ult-

objections.
Steady progress is now being made in building
the bridge across Jones Falls on Calvert street.
This, when completed, will be one Of the finest and
handsOmest structures of its kind in our country.
1t will, with the full opening of Calvert street,
make another and very convenient communication
direct between the county and city. The bridges
on St. Paul and North streets will begin after
finishing this one.
