The Mditby House.

1t gives us pleasure to call the attention of
our readers to the Maltby House on Pratt
street, Baltimore Some great changes have
recently taken place in the business centre
of the City. Many of the large business
houses, such as Johnston, Sutton d Co., Dan
iel Miller q CO., and many others which
made West Baltimore street the business
stronghold of the City in the past, have now
nearly all left there and are occupying new
and magnificent warehouses on South Sharp
only two squares West of the Maltby,
while two squares North are Armstrong,
Gator & Co, Hurst, Purnell & Co., and others
thus making the Maltby more central, for
Merchants, than any other Hotel in the city.
Its always elegantly kept-its proprietor a
prince among landlords and most ably as
sisted by courteous clerks. Merchants rates
reduced to $500.

Co,,lsIin0's ~Greatest Effort orhis Life

The New York Ersaiag Post, great lead
ing Republican journal, the oracle OF the
Republican party on finance and represent
ing the respcctability and culture of its par
ty. gives attention 70 Mr. Conkling's recent
speech in some severe criticisms. 1t says:
The speech was throughout an inSidious as
sault upon the best character, purposes and
hopes of the republican party, and under pre-
tense of indicating and defending it put tbe
argument in such a shape that the effect of It
must hc e. rcpcl every man OF generous feeling
and honest logic hv whom il Is carefully read.
It's only object was To revive and reinforce that
narrow, o,liOuS and malignant sectionalisn a.
s.ljist which ai the better members OF the par
ty have been struggling for the last ten years.
10 siys i'm So many worls that the issue of the
present campaign is sectional and only section
al and i'm order Co prove that it frames what
Burke Thought tO hc impossible. 1.-THE indict-
mout OF whole people, ~ the lowest spirit of
thc carpet haggcr ana the demagogue
The Post concludes;
Mr. Conkling has done much hitherto to
drive independent thinkers from their rcpubli-
can adhe>ions and his present ill.judgcd, illog-
zeal and malicious speech will, we fear quicken
the departures
Go on, Mr.. Conkling, and quicken the
departures" Hit him again, Mr. Post, he

The Vaccinations Of VI ttOae 'ciH Fail.
The rejection by the Malone committee
and electors of the generous and patriotic
compromise proposed by the regular Demo-
cratic committee, is proof positive and con-
elusive that the Malone leaders are allies, if
not paid assistants, Of the Republican par
~; and we are sure hundreds and thousands
of the honest readjusters who have not here
tofore declared their purpose to vote for the
regular Hancock electors, viii conclude now
TO DO so. They must now see that the debt
question of Virginia has nothing to do with
the National contest, and that the Malone
leaders are but assistant republicans, bent on
giving the grand old State of Virginia to
Garfield The honest yeomanry will see to
it that no such unholy scheme shall prevail
to bring upon them humiliation and morti-
tication.

why Russia Arms.

4 special despatch from London says;
The Vienna press" is OF the opinion
that a collision between Russia and
England is inevitable. The "Press"
saws that General Skobelef recently
declared at a banquet that Russia is on
the eve of national war. A Berlin
despatch to the "Pall Mall Gazetts"
SAYS: "Rassia has been Questioned
relative to the concentration OF troops In
Poland, and has replied that, as there
Is no danger Of a collision with Tur-
key, the regiments hitherto stationed
in Crimea and Bessarabia are merely
withdrawn to Poland as a more con-
venient district. The "Timss" special
despatch from Vienna says: The in
formation possessed by military circles
here respecting the distribution Of Rus
sian troops along the Aastro-Russian
frontier by no means confirms the ru-
NOR of unusual concentration along
the western frontier of Russia. These
rumors may in great part have arisen
from the circumstance that as q conse-
uuence of the experience acquired dur
ing the Turkish war the whole Russian
military organization is in state oi
transition" The "Times" Berlin cor
respondent announces that new ru-
NOR is afloat to the effect that Count
schouvaloff will be appointed Russian
uinister of Home Affairs.

A California story.

One of the latest of strange occur
rences came to pass few days ago on
the steamer Contra Costa, plying be-
tween Vallejo and a point opposite, on
the MARTINEZ railroad. As the passen-
gers from San Francisco, en- route to
Vallejo, we're scrambling on to the
boat, a lady needing little assistance
with her packages received it from a
Mr.. g., a grain speoulator ofsan Fran
cisco, who was going to Vallejo on q
visit. On the lady reaching the cabin
conversation snsued, during which each
learned that the other was from Ken.
tucky, and from the very same town.
In answer to his inquiry, the lady gave
Mr.. g. her name, when the latter i'm
mediately claimed her as his own wife.
The lady thinking the gentleman
either a maniac or an adventurer,
piled him with questions, the answers
to which convinced her that Mr.. Il.
was her hus band, and meme other. The
two had married in 1858, and about a
year after the husband started for
Liverpool. The vessel was wrecked,
and crew and passengers were supposed
to have been lost. The husband was
picked up and taken to foreign port,
where he lay ill for Is months. Mean
while his wife came to California, and
all traces of her were lost by the hus-
band. Although search had been
made, he had never found her until
this reunion took place in the manner
described. The happy couple proceed
ed to Vallejo, when the mother intro.
duced young lady to her husband as
his daughter.

riage. In this church he was first ORE
dained elder. and served for about IL
years. In 1862, he transferred his
membership to the Lower Brandywine,
Presbyterian church. During the
same year he was elected an 81.
der in the latter congregation and
was installed with three others on the
Both day of July. During the latter
years of his life he was prevented from
discharging the duties of his Office
BY severe bodily affliction; but ha
still maintained an interest in the
work of the church. He was man
of gen le disposition and strong Chris
