The Capital State Fair this year will
eclipse anything of the kind ever held in
this city. The grounds, which are beau
tifully located, are being put in first class
condition, and everything possible is be.
ing done by the management to secure
comfort and superior advantages for all
exhibitors. Strangers are informed that
the buildings are large, cOmmodious and
well fitted up for displaying goods OF
every description. The amphitheateI
will seat several thousand people, and
from it you have fine view of one of the
best mile race tracks in the South. The
pens and stalls for stock are we'll ar.
ranged, and will accommodate any num-
Der. Many noted horses have been
booked for the races, and they will
be the most attractive ever witnessed in
the state. The stake races are all filed,
but we are informed we are to have few
famous horses from Kentucky, Missouri
and Illinois. Among those from the lat
ter will be few distinguished trotters
belonging TO Mr.. Hamilton. The display
of farm and dairy products will be very
large, while machinery and agricultural
implements will play an importantparti in
the grand exhibition. The premiums
offered are liberal, and the association are
leaving nothing undone to make the fair
attractive and interesting TO all. The
year has been prosperous one, and
abundance has crowned the labors Of the
season, and il is meet that there shall be
few days of recreation for the farmer
and his family. He should by all means
take his family and attend the fair and
meet with his neighboFs and friends and
have good old time. There will be nc
end Of amusements, and base ball. arch
cry and other pastimes will lend attrae.
tions to the exhibition and please the old
and young.

A Few War Clouds.

The innocent citizen of this blessed
city may, for all we know, have thrown off
all fears of the valiant Army of Occupa-
ton starting out some night and COB
bling up Mexico. They may have sup
posed that when Gen. James and others
resigned that the whole business imme-
diately went into bankruptcy and indeti-
nitely postponed the conquest of Mexico
and no end of fun, glory, and last but by
no means least, office for the survivors of
the intrepid army. If the innocent citi-
zen entertained for moment the idea
that the q. A. o., had calmly surrendered
without ever detiantly wiggling its little
toe, why, the innocent citizen has been
badly mistaken and is evidently not ac-
quainted with the material composing the
army in this state. 1t still lives, if we
are TO judge from certain movements
which of course have been carefully con-
cealed and exceedingly mysterious. 1t
is very difficult 10 get at any certain in
formation of what is being done as the
members when approached are as dumb
as Sam weiIerss sdrum With hole i'm IT,"
Indeed, you can get no one to aeknowl-
edge he is member, hut, Rotwithstand-
ing all this it is morally certain the TAO.
Is still alive, and from reliable Informal
ton We feel safe IN saying il is
not at all likely to die soon.
II seems that recruiting is secretly going
on, IL not in this city and county, in other
portions of the state, and IL is believed
the recruiting officers were sent fromthis
place. 1t is also pretty well known that
signal corps has been organized, and
that six members of II have been drilling
an certain hall on 80. . street, in this
city, for two or three weeks. They were
to meet last night az a certain place, but
from some cause did not meet, orehanged
the place OF rendezvous. The system of
signals are similar to the ones in use in
the United States army signal service,
from which they have been taken, and to
see the tall one of the mysterious ''six"
frantically waving the ''brown and white,
is highly interesting aud fliriously war
like. and, no doubt, should the Mexican
army ever be so unfortunate AS to get n
glimse of the mysterious signals, it win
at once lay down its arms and ask to be
sent home. The army stin lives, but Gen.
James yesterday denied having any con-
neetion with or knowledge of its organi-
sation. He afirins he has cut loose en-
tirely, and since his resignation has had
nothing to do with the movement. He
also discredits the idea that the organiza-
ton is still kept up in this city, but from
what the reporter has seen and heard, he
is satisfied il n stin alive and preparing
for some kind Of move.

Mr.. James Hamilton informed the re-
porter last night that the cotton worm on
Walnut creek, in his ncighborhood, were
webbing up, and he thought they would
do ma more damage. Should they cease
their rayage, he thinks he will gather
three-quarters of bale per acre.

LORD'S,LATEST.

The B. d. o. Red Bo0k-Hs Tdlge as a
Textbook for Political Reference and It's
E.seeedin9 Beauty as a Work cf Typo
graphical Dirt.
The Baltimore & Ohio, since Lord as
sumed sway of the Passenger department,
has most emphaticaily come to the front
in taking, and at the same time elegant,
advertising matter. Recognizing the ele-
walton of taste in matters of an advertis-
ing character, and the demand as well for
something of more value than the mere
setting forth of the advantages of the
road, the b. IL o. has just issued what it
terms the " Red Book" II is beyond all
comparison the cleverest thing of the
kind ever issued by railroad company.
and not only this. but as specimen of
typographical art it is perfect gem. The
cover, designed and engraved by the
American Bank Note company, and the
book itself, from the press OF Knight d
Leonard, of this city, very many
persons will keep it for il; beauty
alone. But while the artistic has been
the aim in the external appearance, the
contents OF the little work will be found
OF the utmost value from now until the
close of the present political struggle.
Without pretentions, and simply setting
forth facts, the B. 4 o. Red Book Is be-
yond all comparison the handiest and
most compact political text book of the
campaign. Compiled results reached and
arranged by an old journalist of many
years experience in political statistics,
the states are so placed, and the detail SO
carefully attended to, that at glance one
comprehends the situation in each state.
First, the vote of each party for Presi-
dent in 1876 is given, with the total vote
of the state, the majority and the electO-
raj vote. Next come the details of the
latest election for state offices, followed by
the political complexion of the leg
islature, with the fact noted that Il
United States Senator is to be
elected this winter, if such be the
case. Then comes the result in each con-
gressional district, with foot-notes so
clear and concise that the situation in
the different districts is at once apparent.
Finally, the population of the state in
1870 is noted, followed by the vote for
president in 1872, with the ratio of votes
that year to the population of two years
before This is made the basis of cal
culatiOn of the total vote of each state
this year, the figures given of the popula-
ton, 1880, being from the latest obtain
able information from the census bureau.
AS these statistics cover every state in
the Union, and the book so indeXed as to
permit of instant reference, the great
value of the little work may readily be
appreciated. 1t is not on sale nor will il
be distributed without regard to use. All
wishing copy have but to drop note or
postal to G. X. Lord, Baltimore, Nd, and
it will be promptly mailed to the address
given. Chicago Tribune.
