Folly and Fanaticism.

The Baltimore Gazette cautious the pub
lie against pernicious romance purPort-
inc to be "a Young Folks History of
America" written from New England
standpoint. in which John Brown is can
onized, and there is much more of the same
sort of virus running through the work.
Such opinions can do little harm, at this
day, because public intelligence readily
discerns that they are entertained only by
knaves or fools. Besides, the follies of
men must be endured, since they cannot
be cured. "Though thou shouldest bray
fool in mortar among wheat with a
pestle, yet will not his foolishness depart
from him" The Gazette may dismiss its
fears concerning the introduction of such
opinions here, for they are here already,
but harmless, except to those who enter
tain them Very recently, Maryland
editor, who had learned the decalogue at
a mothers knee, and received from her
lips the divine injunction ''thou shalt not
steal,n Chou shalt do no murder" COM
mended John Brown, who was guilty Of
both, as a more excellent character than
Thomas Jefferson, whose laurels would
live and flourish while Jeferson's would
fade. 1t is hardly worth while to Sanswer
a fool according to his folly when his
folly is Of such nature as this. More
recently, student Of divinity, and grad
uate Of Maryland college, acknowledged
John Brown as one of the saints in hi;
calendar-John Brown, robber, plum
derer and murderer, whose first victim wa'
a poor defenceless colored man, whose
crime was an attempt to fee from such Z
monster. Neither the science of theology
nor college currieulums are responsible
for such moral and intellectual perver
sion as this. It only shows how pro
fouudly foolish men may be, despite al
the opportunities they enjoy for enlighten
ment. Folly is bound up in the hearts o.
such people. Though you should bra!
such 10 mortar among wheat with l
pestle, yet would not their foolishness dc
part from them. Let them alone; they IN
subjects rather for pity than contempt.

The city of Baltimore is in au eaviable 20
siGon. Ii is well governed. A new proof of
this Is given ia the construction of the Gun
powder Water Works. Several years ago the
people voted $4,000, 900 to construct the
works. A magnificent tunnel, seven miles
long, q great part of it through solid rock,
was cut; aud now the works are completed,
and there remains $37, 900 of the appropria-
ted $4,000, 900 unexpended. This eircum-
stance, however, has its parallel in the his
tory Of the City Hall of the same city, for
which 81, 0Oo,6 900 were appropriated. After
it was entirely completed the Building Com
mission had over 500, 900 unexpended mon
