Baltimore Americana

buihimoib Aultflcdusl
A young lady, one of Baltimore's
society bellies, living on Dolphin street,
near Bolton, made a painful and ter
rible mistake on Thursday night. She
was about retiring to rest, and had
turned out the gas. She had been
using glycerine for chapped lips, and
recollecting that she had neglected to
use it, she went to the wall bracket,
where she kept it, and took down
what she thought in the dark was the
glycerine bottle. 1t seems, however,
there was a bottle Of about the same
size on the shelf containing nitric acid.
which her mother had been using for
some purpose, and it was this that the
unfortunate young lady got hold
of. She did not discover
her mistake until she had
applied the dangerous fluid to her lips
with a piece of flannel, and even then
tor a few minutes she attributed the
burning sensation to the effect Of the
glycerine upon her chapped lips. In
a very short time, however, the in
tense pain taught her that she had
made some mistake, and she com
menced to shrek loudly for assist
ance. Her mother running in, rea-
lized what was the matter, and with
wonderful presence of mind she
snatched up a large sponge, filed it
with water. and deluging the young
lady's mouth and face with it. at least
stayed the progress of the acid. Med
ical aid was hen summoned and
everything possible was done to ale
yiate her ~sufferings. The sad proba-
bility is that her mouth will be dis
figured.

How Young Grant Fell in Love
in California.
Ner Yorl Lsttsr 70 Int.r.nc.an

New Yorb Letter to Inter-Ocean.
Yesterday l met a young lady lust
from California, and fresh in its gos-
sip. Speaking of Ulysses Grant. IT.,
and Miss Flood, of millionaire father
fame, she said: well, l won't saw
they are going to be married, but they
have certainly achieved the first and
most important step, that of falling in
love- and, indeed, laughing, 1 was a
witness to the process.
You see, it happened at a picnic
given when the ex-president was in
Frisco, and a very jolly affair it was.
In the course of the afternoon Miss
Flood, like most young ladies on such
occasions, was seized with a violent
affection for the fora of her native
land; but, not feeling equal to ~culling
the specimens by herself, invited
young Grant to go botanizing with her.
AS they wandered by the brookside.'
and discussed the poetical definitions
OF the different flowers, the young lady
happened to discover a cluster Of the
glowing wild geranium, especially
adapted to her complexion. but un-
luckily, growing on the wrong side of
the stream.
This trihe, however, could not
daunt the young Ulysses, and boldly
he leaped the thrpid stream, grasped
the bright blossom in his manly hand.
and was about to return, when his
khightly eye caught in the tolls of a
beautiful and luxuriant vine, which,
quick as thought, he proceeded to
break off and add to the impremptu
bouquet; but alackaday, the green and
graceful vine, was nothing less than
poison ivy, which, rudely torn off,
revenged itself by sprinkling the face
OF the fell destroyer with its vengeful
sap, and, in consequence, by the time
the young gentleman recrossed the
stream, he felt as if all life was made
up OF mosquitoes, and only comfort in
such a case profanity, denied him.
"a flood of tears did not console
him, but luckily an old lady present
with an infallible salve in. her pocket
did. That is to say, she donated the
salve and Miss Flood her services,
and, as these services consisted in the
application of the soothing compound
with the tips of five small fingers, the
consequence was evident, and, as the
salge smoothed away the wrinkles
from the skin Of the suffering Ulysses,
it is supposed that the sentiment was
stroked in, so to speak. 1t is more
often, concluded by informant, that
love leads to poison, but in this case
poison led to love-"

WARRINGTON
The Discussion ofthe Joint RnIes
for Counting the Electoral Vote.


Special to the Courier-J %ournal.l
WASHINGTON, April19.-Thedemo-
cratic members of the committee on
rules of the house and senate have
long been trying to adopt a plan for
counting the electoral vote. They
start with the assumption that moth
ing that the democrats will approve,
even Senator Edmund's bill, will re-
ceive the approval of the president,
or the votes of the republicans in
congress. Therefore a joint rule is
the only alternative left to them.
What this shall be is the problem
At a conference held yesterday, it was
agreed as a basis, that no vote Of a
state shall be rejected, except by the
concurrence of the two houses. This
differs materially from the old twenty
second rule, which provided that the
vote Of a state might be rejected
on the objection of one house.
This rule was of republican
origin, and some Of the democratic
members of the house rules commit
tee favor readopting it. They are not
sustained in this position by any con-
siderable number of democrats in
either house, and the rule was always
severely criticised by the leading men
of the party. A large number of
members of the present senate are on
record against it, both by vote and
speech. The difficulty which pre-
sents itself in forming the proposed
rule consists in finding a provision to
meet the case Of two contesting sets
of electors from the same state; how
shall the legal vote be counted, aud
who shall decide which is the legal
voter There is a wide 9iscyeDce of
opinion, especially among senators, Oh
this question. Some hold that con
gress has power to decide, and that
both houses ought 10 concur il the
decision before the yGto is eolntel.
Others insist that there is no right in
congress to decide between oontesting
sats Of electors, but that il must be
left to The states. Indeed, there is so
mqch conflict Of opinion that there is
q very sttopg pgobability that no ac-
ton will be taken aud thst tho whole
matter will be left whera II Is,

Grants Glass Turned Down.

New Orleans Letter in Milwaukee Sentinel
-Four years in the field with the re-
s~ponsibility of thousands of lives on
his shoulders, facing armies equally
brave and experienced with his own.
followed by eight years in the White
house, ought to make a man ofhis age
look older than Grant does now, how.
ever careful he might be in his hab-
its. One cannot look at and converse
with him and believe he has been a
dissipated man. He certainly doesn't
drink pow-not even the mildest
wines. Persons who have e e much
of him assert that whatever may be
the occasion that introduces wines,
Grants glass is always turned down.
His tobacco habit has also been great
ly exaggerated. In reply to a ques-
ton as to how many cigars he smoked
daily, he replied; Usually two cigars
a day; but when there is an Interrupt
ton, a break in my ways, such as a
reception, ! smoke an extra one after
