Miss Mary Nickerson. a young lady from
Baltimore. who died in Staunton two win
ters ago, was great favorite among an
extended acquaintance here and the fol-
lowing paragraph from the Baltimore
American" will be read with interest by
many:
There has just been placed in St. Bar
nabaS 2. E. Church, corner of Argyle ave-
nue. and Biddle street, a beautiful memOri-
al to the late Miss Mary B. l.. Nickerson,
daughter of Mrs. M. B. and the late Thorn
as S. Nickerson, of Augusta. Ga, whose
death on January 18th. 1879, as announced
in 1.-The American" at the time, caused
widespread sorrow among her MANY
friends in this city. Miss Nickerson, it
will be remembered, was extensively
known in Baltimore, where she was edu-
Gated and passed much of her time. Dur
ing several years residence at the Carroll
ton Hotel, she became very prominent in
social and literary circles by her many &C
eomplishments and intellectual attain
ments. Her death from consumption took
place at Staunton, Va, and afterwards
the remains were brought to Baltimore
and inferred in Greenmount Cemetery
The memorial, which is double window,
Is magnl1cenC specimen OF arGlStlc work,
and is particularly noticeable for the har-
monious blending of the brilliant coloring.

faith through Christ that we will be saved
The central figure of the left division is a
virgin supporting cross, typical of faith;
while second figure, in the right division

mediately under the first figure is the in
scription, by faith we are saved" and
beneath these are two panels, containing
the inscription on ribbons: MARY Nick
erson.' Surrounding the two names are
lilies and snow drops, the emblems of pur-
ity and innocence; the passion flower, sig
nlfying charity, and the rose, which being
the earliest to fade, typifes the. shortness
of life. The ribbons bearing tie inscrip-
ton form a part of the design of each
panel, with which it blends in truly ar
tistic manner. Beneath the figure of the
right division is the fitting inscription:
Hope in Christi" and in panels similar to
those Of the left division is the date of
death: "January 18th, 1872" The last
named panels are appropriately filled in and
surrounded with popries, signifying sleep,
not death. Across the bottom OF both di-
visions is the inscription: BLESSED are the
dead who die in the Lord"

IT IS matter for considerable speculation
why England and Austria should evince SO
much feeling at the turn Of French affairs in
the Tunisan matter. That Italy should show
belligerent feeling was natural There is
nothing, on the surface of things to indicate
a thrust at British interests, or Austrian
either, for that matter, and explanation must
be looked for in what is hidden beneath the
movement. England would have entered an
energetic protest, but owing to the attitude of
the other powers tbs step was abandoned.
Leaving out Italy and Austria, the "other
powers" must refer to Germany and Russia,
both Of which have reason to wish the Medi-
terranean question be left open-Germany
because it will insure mistrust for France
by the other Mediterranean powers, and Rus
sia because she would prefer to see another
ally il the Eastern question,-an ally who
would have some interest in the final subel-
dsnce Of Turkey and in resistance to British
pretensions in the East.

We have received visits from two of our

We have received visits from two Of our
deputy sheriffs, calling our attention to a
paragraph in our last issue in which they
claim there was an insinuation impeaching
their personal honor. 1t was to the effect
that men were being arrested and then let
out without trial, on payment of the sheriff 8
fees, and the imputation might be drawn
that the deputies arrested men solely for the
fees. The fact that men are arrested and
then dismissed without trial, on payment of
sherffs fees is true but the imputation they
attach, that the arrests were made simply for
fees, was not intended and can only bemade
out from the ambiguity Of the paragraph,
which would admit that and indeed, any con-
struction The fact is, that our laws are so
clumsily constructed that we are practically
unable to cope with class of small criminals
whose offences will not justify costly legal
prosecution without an expense to the coun-
ty out of all proportion to the nature of the
offence. The sheriff and his deputies are
plainly acting under the law when they ar
rest drunken and disorderly people, and if
they failed so to do, they might suffer i'm
putation Of being recreant to their duties;
and so far as they are concerned when
the criminal is arrested and lodged in jail
their connection with him ceases, and he is
then under the jurisdiction Of the court
But it would rot be fair to the court to i'm
pute any motive for his action except q
study Of the economical side Of the qles-
ton. Men when arrested for petty criminal
actions, will, under the representation of
lawyers, who occasionally labor to make
themselves cases, carry q case before q jury
hat should receive sufficient attention from
he police magistrate alone, and the county
S put to heavy expense over nothing. For
his reason there is some cause for the ac-
ion Of the Judge in dismissing cases with
he smallest possible cost There is room
however, for the exercise Of Judgment and
discrimination on the part Of the sheriff and |
lis deputies, and the judge, for, with the
xtreme clumsiness Of our criminal code, q |
allure to exercise both will result il need I
ess expense over cases which amount to I
lothing, or a practical abandonment OF the
own to drunken and disorderly element.
