A Warning to Democrats.

On the eve Of great political contest,
fnught with such vital interests as the i'm
pending one Is. when unity, harmony and
good fellowship should preyailiu the Dem
Ocralic ranks, VIC sec the party distracted
and disintesrating The daily and week
~ press is ever teeming with details
Of the conflict going on, which is dividing
and weakening the party, aud to even the
casual reader an unhappy state Of affairs
must be apparent. For weeks prominent
lawyer aud State senator have been en-
gagged 10 discussion ia which language
has been used which must forever estrange
them; for soIhe days past the highest off,
cial Of our chief city and an ex-oiheial of
the same municipality have beee carrying
on an angry contest; and at our State capt
tai the party is divided on matters Of State
policy. The latter is most 10 be regretted
The party has but one object in view, and
conflicting opinions should have been bar.
monized by mutual concessions. The ma
jority rule Of governing has been ignored,
and stubborn resistance to its decisions are
presented. The personal qaaFrels are to
be rcgrntted, too, even IL they included
only those engaged. for the greatest cordi-
atty should prevail among our leaders; but
il Is very probable that friends Of each
have also taken sides. As above observed,
this is an unhappy state Of affairs, aud the
strife should cease. By this antagonism
nothing is 10 be gained, and much may be
lost The conflict is viewed with great
concern by many Democrats, who sremble
with fear at the outcome. Paradoxical as
il may seem. the party is growing weak on
account Of its strength, and unless jealousy
and chickering's speedily end our majority
Of p, 900 may dwindle away The com
ing contest win bs 4 closely contested one,
unless greater harmony prevails. The pa.
trousge and influence Of the federal gov

Fish Culture in MARYLAND.

The New York Times Feb. u, says:-The
efforts Of the State Of Maryland to increase her
fishery products have been heretofore Of the
most laudable character, and she may be said
through the zeal and skill Of one Of her com,
missloncrs, 10 have achieved most wonderful
success. Once, Maryland, with her fine BAY
and numerous streams, was the great fishing.
ground of the country. From her peculiar
situation, she ineloses within herself the fish
nursery Of a vast system Of rivers which pass
through other States.
In time, from everlasting, these streams
became depopulated, and it is only owing to
diligent, systematic fish culture that now fish
have been found in the rivers where, ten years
ago, there were no fish at all. Any system
OF hsh culture must be continuous Results
are not apparent the year after; il takes long.

possible to-day, when al present newer and

An Artificial Nose.

The New York Herald, February 2Oth, saws;
Crowds Of visitors are calling daily a, Belle.

tent who Is now the possessor Of a nose which
was but recently his middle finger. Abou,
three weeks ago the plaster Of Paris bandape
was removed from his face aud careful ex.

the two joints which were thereafter 10 serve
as a nose. During the two months in which
the finger had been growing 10 the face the
blood had retreated from the hand and arm

as white as snow. Shortly after the opera.

was removed from its position in the larynx.

ton. In order to have a shapely nasal organ
tue second joint Of the amputated finger Was
crooked so that the elbow forms the To Of The
nose. The end Of the finger was stitched 10
the upper lip in a neat manner. The next
step IN the process was to remove pieces OF
skin from the cheeks and forehead and allow
them to grow on the iaeeraied and stitched
portions Of the new nose. The consequence
Is that there are now no nostrils at present
and Tommy breathes through his mouth aud
