settling their fares on the Potomac Ferry
company's steamers Arrowsmith and Mys-
tic, or Saturday and Sunday, on their re-
turn home, to ascertain that the fares had
been doubled since they went up to the
city. In answer to an inquiry
from US as to what induced the
company to pursue course so unjust ~
well AS impolitic toward our people, the
captain of one of these boats answered
that our people bad never shown any dis
position to patronizs their boats and ought
not to expect anyfavors 4, their hands

negative, a, The same time stating that, if
our people continued 70 pa'ronize The
Msuano, he would Withdraw his boat and

he fares were not thus increa ed 10 all the

Compliment to an Editor.

A vacancy in the Prince Georges
county School Board occasioned by the
resignation of Judge r. b B. Chew, was last
Monday filled by the appointment of our
young friend, l. 5. Wilson, Editor OF the
Marlboro Gazette. This is deserved com
plimeut, not only in view Of Mr. VS. COM
potency. but also because his father. the
late popular and highly esteemed George
W. Wilson, he'd high and trusted posi-
ton in the same School Board for more
than twenty years, and discharged the da-
ties thereof with complete acceptability-
We trust the worthy SON will emulate tho
worthy sire by an equally faithful dis
charge of duty.
By the way, it occurs to as that Mary
land editors rarely receive political con
siderstion 10y way OF reward for The vast
services they perform in the interests Of
party. They do far more political work
than any other class Of individuals, almost
always gratuitously. frequently at consid-
erabe expenss-and vet it is but rarely
they receive party prefermen'. True, they
devote much of their newspaper facilities
in indicating this, that, and the other per
son who can acceptably fill this, that, and
the cher position but their inherent mo-
desty-for which all editors are noted
prevents a suggestion OF themselves for
Office Of honor or profit. This modesty Is
all well enough; but The editors should
gain, not lose thereby. And We sincerely
hope to see their honest claims to prefer
ment more frequently honored than has
heretofore been the case. Every brave
and tru.ty soldier deserves promotion;
therefore, editors to the front Nd
Republican.

The Capture Of Russakoff, the Regicide

A very interesting account is given
Ivy an army surgeon-assistant, who
states that he was one of the first to
seize Russakoff, and accompanied him
to the prefecture The writer, Wassili
Gorokhof, narrates that he was pro-
ceeding along the Katerinofsky Canal
toward the Nevsky Prospect, when he
overlook man of middle height and
long light hair, dressed in thin over
coat and tall fur cap. The man was
carrying Il small white parcel. The
emperor's carriage appeared on the
canal road, and having saluted the en-
peror, who, Gorokhotf says, returned
his salutation, he heard violent ex-
plosion, which impelled him forward,
and looking round he saw Cossack
fall from his horse and another stagger-
ing. The man whom he had previous
| " observed then ran toward the News
| ky Prospect without any parcel in his
hand, and he seized him, policeman
and two soldiers Immediately laying
hold Of him. The emperor approached
| them, asked if he was the criminal, or
dered him to be searched, and turned
proceeding toward his carriage. Go
rokhoff appears to have dim recollec-
ton of having seen a man of short stat
ure go quickly toward the emperor,
and then something was thrown either
by this man or from between the rail
ings of the canal. which fell at the en-
perors feet with q deafening explosion.
The emperor, and all standing around,
including the man he had noticed, fell
to the ground as if moved down. Go
rokhof saw the emperor lying on his
right side, and an officer with white
epaulettes-this was the police colonel,
Notwithstanding himself toward his
majesty, who slightly raised his head,
which then sank again on the snow.
Whilst the young man who had been
seized running away was being held af-
ter this second explosion, a soldier
came up and struck him on the head,
saying, You miscreant, what have YOU
done?" Russakoff replied: "For Gods
sake, don't strike me. You will know
afterward. You are ignorant people"
He was then placed in sledge and
taken to the prefecture, where he was
undressed and examined. He was re-
specially clad, and had a purse con-
NstlilIiIS tilT6e TouDle NOTES. passport,
and other papers. When Intercepted
III another room, Russaloff first gave
fictitious name, but soon acknowledged
his real name. Among other things,
he stated that he had met his friends
the week previously, who had explain
ed to him that on the Sunday following
he would have to shoot at the emperor.
Russakoff also affirmed that he knew
others would be appointed to carry out
the same deed, but did not know who
they were. About l P NJ he had pro-
ceeded TO the canal road, but, being too
early, walked across the bridge to the
small market-place adjacent. There
RussaSoff says he met young woman,
seventeen years OF age, good-looking
and well-dressed, who knew him, and
whom he knew by sight, not by name.
She handed him parcel, telling him
he was to throw it and it would explode
violently. After remaining a short
time in the market-place, he returned
to the canal road. What followed is
only too well known.

SENDING PICTURES By TEL.
EGRAPH.
One of the Most Marvellous Of Modern
TnVeDtiOuS

From the Americas Queen, New York.
1t certainly is fact, that, BY q recent
invention, pictures of all kinds can now
be sent by telegraph. Colors cannot
be transmitted, but all pictures which
result from combinations Of light and
shade, such as photographs, steel en-
cravings, wooden prints, India ink
sketches, pen sketches and crayon pic
lures, are reproduced in five minutes
at Il distance of 100 miles with aston
ishing accuracy. Checks have been so
faithfully copied by this process that
the copy has been honored at the bank
without question. New York news
papers have been reproduced in Phila-
delphia entire-the image being sent
by telegraph, and every faintest blot
and blemish brought out on paper. We
should be glad to tell the readers Of the
Queen exactly how this is done, but it
IS by chemical process so complicated
as to defy explanation in ordinary
terms. Nature (the recognized author
ity in science in England) comes as
near as possible, perhaps, when it says:
In the trapsmitter the image was TO
cused on a revolving cylinder, to which
Il selenlum cell is attached. At the
other end Of the wire platinum point
presses against the surface Of sensitive
paper, prepared by passing it through
strong solution of equal parts of
iodine of potassium and water. The
arrangement is such that the selenium
cell, by intercepting the current, causes
white spot to appear on the receiver
corresponding in shape and size to the
picture focused on the transmitting cyl
inder The experiments are as yet
crude, but full of promise" This is
not quito ineligible to the average
reader, because the facts of the case
call for scientific terms, and cannot be
expressed in popular phraseology But
the important fact is that pictures are
sent; that photographs are admirably
reproduced at distance; and that if
the promise of the invention is fulfilled,
a New York paper will soon be reprint
ed in Chicago on the very day, and per
haps the very hour, of issue. So much
that is incredible mas been made fact
during the last half century. that he
must be bold man who ventures to
place q boundary to the possible
achievements of scientific ingenuity in
this wonderful age

Hattie Deueil's Death.

Miss Hattie DEUEL., who has insanely
insisted on selfdestructiOn, died nj
Iowa City, Iowa, on the 18th inst, hay
ing lived fOrty-seven days and forty
five minutes without nourishment other
than water. She was at her death 50
years months and II days old. She
drank no water during the night nor
morning, taking none in the last twelve
hours of her life. Though apparently
stupid and unconscious, when aroused
she understood and piled. About
8 O'Clock, by signs, 81 made her sis
tiers understand that she wished to be
raised up higher on the pillow, and in
dlcated just the position she wished to
occupy. She lay apl arently quiet and
easy, with no pain or anxiety Though
her eyes were closed, she apparently
was not asleep, and probably under
stool the conversation carried on about
her bed. Her respirations were long
and now and then with almost painting
force. The pulse was wholly imper-
ceptible. At II 80 Mrs. Aylsworth said
to her: "Sister Hattie, you're almost
gone" Her face was peaceful and
calm, as she quietly shut her fingers by
her side, her sign for Eyes" AT noon
it was evident that her end was near,
and the family gathered at her bedside.
There was no visible change in her
countenance or the slightest tremor Of
muscle when she ceased to breathe. and
for few minutes the family were un-
certain whether she were really dead.
Immediately after her death post
mOrtem examination yyaS made Inv Dr.
Cowperthwaite, Dean Of the Homeo-
pathic department of the University.
Not drop of blood was found in the
body, which weighed forty-fve pounds.
The stomach was also entirely void Of
any substance. No further analysis
has yet been made public.

certain altitude, in reaching the cur
rent of electricity which he claims can
be found at that height, and by means
of which communication can be had
at any distance. 1t is said that Pro-
fessor Loomis has telegraphed to par
ties eleven miles distant by merely
sending up kite at each end of the
distance to certain height, attached
to which, in lieu of the ordinary string,
was fine copper wire. When both
kites touched the same current COM
munication was had between them,
and messages were sent from one end
to the other by means of the ordinary
Morse instrument in connection with
the instrument invented by Professor
LOOMS. He now has project for a
series of experiments from a p int on
one of the highest peaks on the Alps,
in Switzerland, 10 similarly-situated
place in the Rocky mountains on this
side of the world. If this succeeds, of
course his invention will rank in i'm
portance with that of the electric tele-
graph itself, and vastly reduce the cost
of telegraphing.

THE TWO AGES.
Folks were as happy as days were long

Folks were as happy as days were long
In the old Arcadian times;
When life seemed only dance and song
In the sweetest of all sweet chimes.
Our world grows bigger. and, stage by stag'
AS the pitiless years have rolled,
We've quite forgotten the golden age,
Aud come to the age OF gold.
Time went away in a sheepish way
Upon Ihessaly's plains Of yore,
III the nineteenth century lambs at play
Mean mutton and nothing more.
Our swans al present are far too sage
10 live as one lived Of old:
So they couple the crook Of the golden age
With tie nook in the age Of gold.
From corydon,s reed the mountains round
Hear news If Lis latest flame;
And Tityrrs made the woods rcsound
With echoes Of Daphne's name.
They kindly left a lasting gauge
or their musical heart we are told;
And the Pandan pipe Of the golden age,
Brings Inirth TO the age Of gold.
DwelIers ii hnts and in marble halls
From the sherherdess up - the queen
Cared little for bonEcts and less for shawls
And nothing for crin0linc.
But now simplieity'a not the rage.
Aud I'LL funny To think how cold
The dress they wore in the golden aye
Would seem in the age Of gold.
Electric tclegraphs, printing, gas,
Tobacco balloons and steam,
Arr little events that have come 70 pass
Since the days Of the old regime;
Aud IN spite of Lampriere's dazziing page.
iii eixe though il might seem bold
a hundred year. II the golden aye
Ior year Uf the age Of gold.
