destroys the body but it shrivels up and

But men are very ready to insure against

to protect their houses, their stables, their
horses and cattle.
They pay literally for "policies of insur-

the thick darkness of storm and night, there
is comfortable assurance that all possible

the way our school affairs are conducted Many
have Withdrawn their children and send them
some distance to private schools, at the same time
paying the public school tax. The school at Eli
colt City, which was taught by Mr. E. Il. Marriott,

Mr. Marriott was turned out the school is reduced
in numbers to about 20; and l could mention

er, who is alive to the progress of his or her
pupils, and justly think such one entitled to as
much salary as the principal of a high school who
has several assistants to help him. that his labor
is not as much as the principal of a smaller school
who has sole care of from SO to go children.
Much complaint is made of the expense at the
hub of the wheel, or ring. The Examiner receives
81 800, his assistant 81 900, and office expenses
S295.lS making total of $3,O95.1S, half of which
might be saved. Neither the Examiner his
assistant or both together, will venture to say,

The Examiner says there are 166 schools and he
has made 1876 visits. 1 wonder who looked after
the neglected 81 he did not visit? The law says
he shall visit each school twice year.
1t is to be hoped the day will once more arrive
when the school officials will be elected by the
people, who will endeavor to place men in Office

The Railroad Quarrel.

The Hartford Democrat, in an article on the
proposed new railroad between Baltimore and
Philadelphia says
"If any of our Baltimore and Delta friends have
taken counsel of their fears and think that news
paper talk and legislative wrangles build railroads,
we bid them revive their recollectons of the past
twenty years and dismiss them at This
quarrel, real or apparent, between the p, W. q
Il. and the b. Il @. company may or may not be
intended for effect upon our enterprise. Whether
intended or not it should have effect. 1t looks
like a genuine attempt on the part of the b. Il o..
to force from the P, w. & B. better terms, and
whether genuine not, it must look that way to
have the desired effect But the P, w. & b. has
heard these mutterings before, and occupies too
much vantage ground to be moved by threat.
The B. & O. will be obliged for some years at least
to send its passengers and large part of its
freight over this road and such trims as the P,
w. & B. may Impose. Hence the latter company
can contest the right of the b. & o. to a new line
before the Leg stature and through all the courts
of Delaware, Maryland and Pennsylvania and
make money enough out of the B. & o. business to
pay the expenses. With the prospect of struggle
protracted for several years and eventual agree
ment between the rival roads, when agreement
becomes a necessity, the people of Hartford and
Baltimors counties and those of the city interested
in the development of our agricultural resources
by means of railroad facilitas, should pay no at
tention to the rumored through line by the B. &
O. company rather stand by heagreement made
at the beginning of our local enterprise, based on
the belief then expressed, and that ought to be
still adhered to, that we to have no railroad
for this generation except such as we may build
by and for ourselves. If outside help is within
the range of possibility, it will be the sooner OBJ
tanned by showing our independence and our
ability to do without it."

appropriations will be handsomely rounded out
this year by General Deficiency bill of $25, OOO,-

for 1877, cutting them down about $4,000, 900
below those of the last Republican Congress. In
the following year they refused to make any APP

appropriations about s35,OOO,OOO more. This
ended the "reform." The appropriations for 1879
were $sS,OOO,OOO greater than those for 1878;

LETTER FROM WASHINGTON.
Notes and "reminiscences.

WASHINGTON, D. c., February Sth, 1881.
Not since the Capital founded amid these
now iee-locked swamps of the Potomac has there
been such preparation for the Inauguration of a
President as fills the streets, houses and air
of Washington. The only thing necessary to make
the ee successful is weather, and it is to be fear
ed that what the English call "Queen's weather"
cannot be obtained unless we adjourn the cere-
mOny until the 4th of April. The 4th of March is
an historically clustering day; day upon which
the uncanny namesake of Mars delights to disport
himself like lion Gen. Grants first Inaugural
ton was disfavored by the wintriest of weather.
At the ball which celebrated the beginning of his
second term, ladies danced in seal-skin jackets
and muffs or in large circular cloaks, which com
pletely hid costumes into which the fair wearers
had put all their genius and all their heart. Gen.
Hayes Inauguration was dismally performed amid
bone piercing winds and under clouds as dark and
doubtful as the historic days that preceded it.
The advanced state of plans fer insuring the
success of the grand Inauguration ball give the
best reasons for believing that it will not only be
a magnificent spectacle but also an enjoyable oc-
casion. The new National Museum Building,
covering only trife less than three acres, will
afford ample space for several thousand people,
without any one being uncomfortably crowded.
The heating apparatus is perfect, so that no lady
need fear to go there in full evening dress, for in
addition to the steam heat there will be 5000 gas
grand apartment in the building, the subdivisions
being formed by piers and segmental arches, in
sures free circulation of air well as the unim-
peded movement of the guests at the ball. The
freseoeing will be completed by March 4th, and to
these permanent decorations will be added very
handsome temporary ones, including the shields
of the different States of the Union and allegorical
representations of commerce, art agriculture, etc.
In the centre, Immediately beneath the dome, will
stand statue of the Goddess of Liberty fifteen
feet in height, bearing torch. Gen. Garfield and
his wife, and ex Presidents Grant and Hayes and
their wives viii, it is thoughts stand in the centre
of the rotunda, as this will give all present the
best possible opportunity of seeing and speaking
to them.
One hundred and fifty pieces of music stationed
in different parts of the hall will play for the
dancers. There will be general reception until
IL O'clock, and after that dancing as late the
dancers please. 1t is now decided that there will
be supper room where light refreshments will be
served. This will be in a temporary structure i'm
mediatcly adjoining the main building Tickets
for the ball are being rapidly sold at IS each
