The proposed picnic and public meeting was

tinore was agiiated, and committee having de-
clared il was practicable to do go. II was deter
mined to cndeavor to have a display which would
be no discrcdit 10 the county or the agricultural
interests. The three Oranges. Garrison Forest.
Centennial and patapsco. and the Gunpowder
Farmers Club were invited to reproduce and eN-
hibit in the procession in the city the handsome
wagons of farm products which they showed at
the late county fair: and n committee consisting
Of Messrs. 7. Il. Todd. Chas. 7. Cockcy. Di"kin-
son Gorsuch. Chas. Lyon Rogers. q. VI. Bosiey
and VIM. Is. Sands was appointed TO urge upon
other farmers associations similar efforts. and to
endcavor 90 arouse n general interest in the farm
ing community in favor Of n participation in the
great celebration next month. and this committee
was given large powers rs W the authority they
should exercise. the grange putting at its dispo-
sal liberal sum for contingent, expenses.
IL is thought probable the county agricultural
society will cooperate in showing of the extent
and variety Of products Of our county and that
the State Grange would join in giving u visible
denomination Of the extent and resources Of the
grange organization.
Agriculture being at the base Of the social fab
rio. and iu prosperity being necessary TO that Of
all other ealings. its Importance can hardly be
ovcrestimated. II is therefore proper that her
interests should be represented on this occasion.
and the Baltimore county farmers from their sit
ua;ion geographically will be mainly the one. to
do IL.

The Bic River.

Our booming river had rufled and
lumpy surface at noon to-day, caused
by a stiff southwest wind, which
stirred it into rolling pillows. From
noon yesterday to noon to-day it rose
scant ten inches here, and its level is
now two feet one and a half inches
below extreme high water also thirty
three feet eight inches above low
water. Three or four inches more and
it will overflow the Little Rock railway
track, For a week past the water has
been declining at Cairo, the total fall
there being nearly nine feet. The
heavy rains of last night are, however,
certain to drive the Cumberland and
Tennessee on another swelling boom,
and start it up again at Cairo. 1t is
now rising quite fast at St. Louis.
Over ten inches ofrainfall here within
the past four weeks is decidedly dis
cOuraging to all who reside in the
lowlands of the valley.

NTr. Mission.

New York Tribune, Feb. I'll
The failure of MI. Parhell's mission
to this country is converted into a
magnificent success by the reporters
whom he brought with him. The cor
respondent Of the Irish Times contin-
ues to send home weekly bulletins
which represent the American nation
in a spasm of wild enthusiasm. All
the notifications and snubbings
which the Irish agitator has received
in his progress become in these ac-
counts rapturous o~vations. In the
light of facts the history of this
triumphal progress reads funnily
enough. Mr.. Parnell, we learn, has
"been rendered the freedom of Detroit
and every other great American city"
THE stage is always crowded with
prominent Protestant divines, as we'll
as the archbishops and bishops of the
Catholic church." 1.-THE streets are
packed with excited masses and human
beings, moved to raptures Of welcome,
and universal and bitter hatred to
England is exhibited" The sub.
scriptions are vaguely described as
enormous. In some Of the larger
cities tho crowds are described as sur.
rounding Mr.. Parnell's triumphal
chariot and struggling to kiss the
hand OF tho great humanitarian " aud
on one or two occasions were with diff
6culty restrained from taking out the
horses and drawing him themselves.
And it is not limited that these imagi-
nary multitudes arc Irish; they arc
native Americans-the mayors, mil
lionaires, solid men of New York and
Chicago.
However, we have no right to com
plain. When a reporter sets his
minds eye to create q crowd, he
surely has q right to make il of what
nation be pleasos. 1t is a balm TO Mr..
Paruell's wounds, probably, TO road
these reports, and the matter would
be simply laughable were it not that
they are copied into the English Jour,

Messrs. w. H. CherrI, VIM. Nor

Shook closed a trade yesterday for the
ground, forty acres, at Cowan, on which
they propose to erect, at once, two
iron furnaces (hot- blast coke) at a cost
Of $500, 900.
These gentlemen, owningthe most Of
the stock in the Tennessee coal and
railroad company, including the Sc
vance coal mines, have made UP their
minds to go to making iron on a
large scale. They have at their mines,
in operation now. two hundred coke
ovens, and they are building two hun
dred more, so that in less than six
months they will have n of the
largest coke works in the United
States. AS the coke has been thor
oughly tested for several years, no risk
is taken in erecting the furnaces.
MIR. a. NJ. Shook, the general man
ager of the Tennessee coal and rail.
road company, is in the city, preparing
to commence work. This looks like
going to work, instead of waiting on
other people. The two furnaces will
be of fifty tons capacity each, and will
be the first coke furnaces ever erected
in Middle Tennessee.

CONFLICTING STATEMENTS As TO THE PROBABLE
RYsULT or The COMING ELEcrIoN-wHAr DIR.
GREEN AND RUSSELL sAGy SAY.
There has been for several weeks an apparent
contest fer the control Of the Western Union Tele-
graph Company at the annual election. The trans
fer books closed Monday, and since
that time much interest IN The result has
been manifested in Wall Street. DIR. Norvin
Green prcsdent o. the company, said yesterd ~
that he had no doub, that the present management
woul be retained by the vote of large major 8 OF
the stock. He expressed the opinion that 1t would
be utterly impossible for the opposition 10 secure
even q quarter of the stock. He attributed the
movement to speculative motives and believed that
the object of the opposition bad been. lready &C
complishcd.
By immediate friends Of Jay Gould it was claimed
yesterday that the resul, of the e.ecion would show
that he had secured control of the company. Russell
Sage EXPIRE ast ignorance of the amount OF stock
held by Mr. Gould aud his friends but was coniid mt
that there wOuld be a change in the Wscrn
UniOa dire tory. He sad that the reform
PARTY was anxious that the capital Of the
company should not be squandcred in a
needless struggle with the American Union
Company when On arrangement satisfactory TO bo h
companies could be made easily.
:" have been for long time genuine stock
holder OF the Western Union Company" Mr. Sage
continued. "and am not in favor of taxation with
out representation. The American Union Company
does not wish consolidation. The country ~
large enough for both companies: the people VIII
70 longer submit TO 4 monopoly Of the telegraph
business. We are doing handsome business which
is constantly increasing. and desire that rates
should be maintained" In regard to the Western
Union election Mr. Sage said that besides the stock
controlled by the opposition. favorable reports were
received every day from persons who had
not yet sent their PROXIES and
from others who would vote their stock. He
said that Ex-Governor Morgan, member of the
executive committee, was in full sympathy with
the proposed change. 4 large ssoclIhoicer OF the
Western Union Company SAID that he beeye' that
harmony could he established between the con-
panles, ana that if the new company wanted to be
represented IN the Western Union board he was
wiling to comply with the wish " IL would have
been much cheaper for the Western Union, he said,
" f the same tnIng had becl dom at the time of the

DR.. Green sad that at the time Of that settlement

however, by The committee which then had charge
of the proxies. He not now inclined 10 Surren-
der without . fight the control of the company To
