BALTIMORE Cry DEMOCRATIC Con-
vENTIoN.-This body met at Rainc's
Hall on Tuesday evening. Having passed
upon the credentials Of the delegates and
permanently organized by the election of
officers, the Convention adopted a series Of
resolutions, appointing the tunes and de-
claring the regulations for the nominating
primaries. These resolutions name the Sd
day of June for the Mayoralty primary; the
10Th Of june for the elections 10 the three
legislative districts for the State Senators
and members of the House of Delegates;
the 18th Of June for the nominations for
the Clerkships of the Courts; and the Gath
Of June for the nomination of States At
torney, Sheriff, judges of the Orphans
Court and City Surveyor This arrange
ment Of the primaries throws the Clerk
ship nominations one week later this time
than the date upon which they were held
in 1878, the primaries for the same places
10 that year being held on the 10th of
June and the nominating convention on
the llth. The same regulations, says the
Ns'cs, are prescribed for the primary elec.
tions this year as those which prevailed so
satisfactorily last year, the enormous pow
ers entrusted TO ward executives being
withheld from them and conferred upon
the ward delegation instead, thus doing
away with what has been known hereto
fore as "the Que man power, the reslora-
ton OF which was made conspicuous issue

Dead Against Grant.

There is not vote that would be cast for General Grant which is,not sure for any other republican candi- date. But there are q great many votes that would be thycwn for a candidate without his disadvantages which would not be given to him. Those who say that the country needs Q strong hand at the helm to curb the Southern spirit, which has not been hall subdued, forget that General Grant, although a soldier, would have no more constitutional power than any other president. The country always needs a strong exec utive. But if it must have General Grant in 1880, not because he is be. lieved to be wise magistrate, but because he is a "strong" man, it must have him for the same reason in 1884, and as long as he lives. It is an argument which proves too much. To say that he $ the only candidate who can be elected is the confession of despair that we do not share, and to assert that he is the sole distinctive representative of republican principles Is to insult republican intelligence. --Harper's Weekly.

Wilson was passing through the gate with loaded gun, which fell off his shoulder, struck the ground and exploded, the load of slot entering the lower third of the leg. Drs. Dobbins, Alexander, Gil bert, and Miller, were called Tn, who found that amputation would be nc- cessary, and therefore removed the leg just below the knee. Carlisle Homestead.

The MarveIs of a Railroad Acci-

dent.
 One of the most remarkable rail road accldcuts on record happened on the North Carolina railroad q few days ago. The train was com posed of ten or fifteen ears. Ata point about fifty yards from Cole mans, way station between Char lotte and Salisbury, the third or fourth car from the engine jumped .oh the ralls The train was moving at an average speed, and the engineer did not notice the jar which tine ac- cident must have given the engine, and kept on at the same rate. The car had not cleared the track, but was jumping over the crosst.cs, and being heldin position by tho cars on either side of it, ran in this way for a distance of four miles. Finally, coming to cattle guard, the wheels went down, the ear was turned over and three others thrown from the track. The smashUp, when it dld finally come, was con siderable, as may be imagined, but no one on the train was injured. One set of trucks of the car which ! jumped the nacE went nobody knows where, forat la5t accounts they had not.been found. Another singular ! feature of the accident is that tho cuts on the cross ties made by the | wheels show that they ran on one side of the rails part of the way, l Chen jumped the rails and continued ! the remainder of the distance on tho other The ends of many of the crossties-t those partly Gecaycd were lcnt.fulv cut of by the wheels

He says that henceforth he will neither listen to nor speak proposals for aa amicable adjustment of existing diff faculties; and the likelihood is that England is soon to have another ex- pcnsiye war on her hands.

Among all the nations of the earth that have existed since the days of Adam, it has been the policy of every people to foster and cultivate friend
 Iy and harmonious relations with communities with whom they car ried on profitable commercial trade and intercourse. The one, solitary exception Is that of the northern half .of the American union in its coh- duet and feeliugs toward the south. The exception is the most marvel. lous, because 1t is the most unnatur, al as well as suicidal instance of unreasonable passion and prejudice that ever before warped the judg- or blinded the interests of sensi- ble people.

Old Maids and Ola Bachelors.

of Arkansas in an hours speech.
 --------<p--o -es----
 Old Maids and Old Bachelors. From the Rural New Yorker
 Old maids are useful. They can cook, sew and take care of children, nurse sick people, and generally play the piano. Old bachelors are use- less. They do not even know how to drive nails or split wood.
 Old maids are amiable. If one wants anything done that requires patience aud kindness of heart, . single lady is sure to be the one to do it.
 Old bachelors are i'll natured. They snub children, despise babies. and hate young mothers, and are always so busily employed in seeing that other people take good care of them that they have not a moment to give to any one else. H
 Old maids are mce looking and 'young for their years" Old bach elors generally have red noses, rheu- matism in their knees, bald heads, and mouths that turn down at the corners.
 Old maids can make a home of one little room and cook delicious meals for one over the gas jet in. cunning little tin.kettles, besides making their own wardrobes. Old bachelors need an army of tailors, walters, cooks, distant relatives and hotel landlords to keep them com fortable. When old maids are i'll they tie up their heads in pocket handkerchIefs, take homeopathic pills out of two bottles, alternately, and get well again. When old bachelors are i'll they go to bed and send for four doctors; have 8 consultation; @ mantle-plece full of black bottles; all the amiabie married men who belong to the club to sit up with them at night, besides a hired nurse; they telegraph to their relations, and do their best to impress the world with the idea that they are dying.
 When an old maid travels she takes sandwich, piece of pound cake, bottle of lemonade Tn a hand basket, and lunches comfortably in the carriage. When an old bachelor travels he orders a dinner in courses at the station, and raves because he has not time to eat it before the "ffteen minutes for refreshmets" are over.
 Old maids drink weak tea and it cures their headaches.
 Old bachelors drink strong liquor which gives them headaches.
 Old maids are modest; they think thelr youth is over and their beauty gone. If, after 8 while, some au- tumnal love is given them, they take it as q sort of miracle, and hope people will not laugh at them for marrying so late in life"
 Old bachelors believe that all women are in love with them, and that they must carefully guard them selves from traps laid to inyeigle them into matrimony. They also fondly cherish the belief that should they eventually become married men, the world expects them to exhibit great taste in women by their choice, and that the "other fellows' will lalgh if their portion be not tender

Business Failures for 1878.

Dun q Co., shows that the to
tai number of failures in the
United States for 1873 was 10, :
478, with liabilities amounting
to 1924, 100000. This is an in
crease over 1877 OF / ,57l in mum
Der and 100000 in amount. The
circumstances which led to the
increase were six in number, viz:
"The year 1878 was the fifth
year OF Il depression unpar
alleled in extent, character and
duration; the weather OF the
first quarter OF the year was un-
seasonable and thus most un-
favorable for sale and collec-

out OF congress as to financial
matters and the tariff impaired
confidence for the time being;
the notable decline i'll the value
