New Boundaries For Congressional
Districts.

As it now seems to be a certainty tina
Maryland will lose one member of Con
gress, and, therefore, be represented il
the House of Representatives to be elect
ed next year (lS82) by only five mem
bers, instead of six as at present, plans
are already being discussed as to the
redivisiOn of the state into five congress-
ional districts by the next Legislature -
The plan receiving the most general
endorsement is the following:
First Distrtct-Cccil, Kent, Caroline
Talbot, Queen Anne's, Dorchester, Som
erset, Wicomico and Worcester. All Of
these counties are at present in the First,
with the exception Of Cecil, which is
now in the Second.
Second Observation-Disclosures and Har-
ford counties and eight lower wards Of
bnls ,.;~s are IN the Second district, but
c CO.., aS@bt lower wards comprise the
Greater norton of the Third.
Third District-All the wards of Bal
timore city west of the Falls including
the Seventeenth ward, which at present
Is Ill lue l. lith uictilS
Fourth District-Anne Arundel, Cal
vert, Charles, St. Mary's, Prince Georges
and Montgomery counties The five
counties ofSouthern Maryland now com
pose the Fifth, and Montgomery is at
present in the Sixth district.
Fifth District Carroll, Washington
Frederick, Allegany and Garrett coun-
ties. All of these, with the exception
of Carroll, are now in the Sixth district
Carroll is in the Second
This division is considered as the fair
est that could be made numerically as
veil as geographically, as each district
will have as nearly as possible the same
number of inhabitants, and also as il
prevents any gerrymandcring of the
boundaries. BY this arrangement the
Fifth district would under ordinary cir
cumstances always elect a Republican
member of Congress. Some of the Dem
ocartic politicians favor this plan as q
political necessity. They say that the
Republicans will always carry tie west
crn counties, and the best that could be
done was to let them have the district,
and 90 to work and prevent their carry
ing any other. They think that by the
above plan it will be impossible for the
Republicans to carry the Fourth by plae-
ing Montgomery in it.

OH, manner, an unusual power of analy-

when he assembled the bench he became
a model Judge. Gentle in manner pa

Tho discharge of the functions OF MS
great office, rarely before allotted to any
human being, In saying this, we are
not blinded by the affection we bore
him. but tho whole community will bear
testimony to the truth of the assertion.
His faculty of calculation, and analysis
Of the evidence and the law had bcne-
fitted him greatly, and SO clear was he
in the delivery of his opinions that those
whom he decided against went away
satisfied with the result, blaming per-
haps the law, but never the Judge,
whom they believed to be inflllible, be-
cause they knew him to be learned AMI
honest. The records Of the Court of
this Circuit will also attest the truth Of
what we say, for during the whole time
he was on tue bench there were few,
very few appeals from decisions rendered
by him When such man as this is call

where he was the mainstay, the hope, the
reliance of the people for the intelligent

again"
There is much more we could and
would like to say Of this good, pure man
and faithful public servant, who I'M
qucstionably sacrificed his life to a con
scicntious discharge of his onerous du-
ties, but the grateful heart that prompts
more and the ready pen that could write
volumes of the lost friend and more than
brother, are admonished that private
grief and private affections are too sa-
cred to be paraded in public.
If there be truth in the teachings of
the Holy Church pure life, and up
right discharge of duty will bring to the
deceased his reward beyond this sphere.
Whilst here, the heart of the whole
community, in unison with those to
whom he was nearest and dearest throbs
heavily at the portals of his newt y made
tomb.

GOD BLESS THE FARM.

God bless the farm-the dear old farm,
God bless its every rood,
Where willing hearts and sturdy arms
Can earn an honest livelihood!
Can from the coarse and fertile soil
Win back recompense for toll.
God bless each meadow, field and nook,
Begemmed with fairest flowers,
And every leaf that's gently shook
BY evening breeze or morning showers .
God bless them all , each leafs 4 gem
In Natures gorgeous diadem.
The orchards, that in early spring,
Blush rich in fragrant flowers,
And with each autumn surely bring
Their wealth of fruits i'll golden showers,
Like pomegranates on AarOn's rod,
A miracle from Natures God.
And may He bless the farmers home,
Where peace and plenty reign.
No happier spot meath heavens high dome
Doth This broad, ,beauteOus earth contain,
Than where, secure from care and strife,
The farmer leads his peaceful life.
Unvexed by toll and tricks for gain,
He turns the fertile mound;
Then scatters on the golden grain,
And reaps reward hundred fold;
He dwells where grace and beauty charm,
For God has blessed his home and farm.

means, plants of unusual vigOr are
procured. These, set 10 we'll pre-

Nearly three years ago in Salem,
Ohio, young girl, eyed II, was
hired or forced to wed a man aged
81 years. He had no property, no
place to keep her, and no way to
provide for her. Her grandfather
had made will so that she would
have $1,000 upon her marriage or
on arriving at the age of 81. Her
father secured the unnatural mar
rage. Her husband soon went to
the poor house, aud now the young
wife sues for divorce, and she
probably will get it.

entirely digested in an hour and
half, while a boiled potato takes
twice that time.
Now that apples can be purchas-
ed at such cheap rates, every fami-
ly should keep dish of them in the
dining room, whore the children can
have access to and eat all they
please of them. They will rarely
receive any injury from them, if
they are thoroughly masticated. In
France and Germany apples are
much more in use as common food
by the Iaboring classes than with u.s.
Baked apples should also be as con-

tea~table should have a plate of
them. Baked sweet apples are a
pleasing addition to saucer of oat-
meal pudding, and when served
with sweat cream they are very aP"
petizing, They are not as common
as they should be, as they will sup
ply as much muscular and nervous
support as dishes of meat and veget
ables. Thousands of bushels of sour
apples are used for pies and pud
dings in hundreds of families where
well baked sweet apples would prove
much more nourishiDg food and
much more economical.
