The orator of the day, appointed by
the Trustees to deliver the annual ora

town. Mr.. Key was very practical
and very forcibIe in his remarks. He
desired 10 impress upon his hearers the
fact. that Ugh schools and academies
dad not conflict with the primary or
public schools in any particular. He
illustrated this point very graphically
and proved conclusively that W hen pro-
perly conducted these academies were
alds to the primary schools, in fact,
were twin branches OF parent stem,
and served TO continue IN the scholar
the mental developments which the PR
mary schools had Inaugurated. Unior-
tunately for the audience, who were
deeply interested IN the remarks OF Mr.
Key, he was interrupted by the faint
ing Of a pupil on the stage. Mr.. Key
was followed by Rev. DR.. Nelson, vice.

THE LATE UNPLEAsAETNEss.-Not-
withdrawing the "late unpIeasantness"
within the lines Of the democrats OF
Maryland, we are pleased 10 observe
since the party has spoken and selected
Mr.. Heating as its standard-bearer that
the voice Of dissension has ceased in our
ranks or dwindled to sound so feeble
as scarcely to be heard. We hear no
longer Hamilton war-cnes nor the slo-
gan OF ye ringster, but democratic notes
instead. Though somewhat violently
opposed TO the denomination OF the pre-
sent Comptroller and seeking all hon.
orable means to prevent it, yet, when
the wishes Of the party had been
gathered and announced, the Ham
ilton sentiment Of the State rallied
10 the rescue, unless the late An
napolis election be an exception, and
is found to-day battling as CALAMITY
for the nominee as the primary friends
Of The candidate. And We ringsters are
beginning to find out that the Governor
is not quite as black as he has been
painted. Maugre his manner Of doing
il. the conviction is spreading amongst
them that il will be prudent and profit
able to attend TO many reform and re-
trenchment suggestions Of His Excel
lency. The Baltimore platform proves
the existence OF this conviction beyond
q peradventure. And harmony now
being obtained, the result, of course, is
a walk over, but now that II has come,
TO keep it and avoid repetition OF the
hurtful exhibitions we have lately Wit
messed, that Is the question. Even this,
is within the power Of prudent party
administration. There is no Disgusting
that the moving cause OF strife between
the factions in all parties, however il
may be covered up by fine euphuisms,
is that one iaction-the dominant one
gets all the Offices and honors, the
other being left out in the cold and
treated pretty much as If it belonged to
10 the opposition. When this wrong is
corrected, factions within parties will
be measurably diminished and will GER
tainly never be able to assume mena-
cling proportions. Whatever else may
be said of Hamilton, his administration
has been freer from the faint Of this fol-
ly than any we remember in this State.
Let those who succeed him initiate his
example in this respect, and we sug-
gest TO the Board Of Public Works, or
wherever else democratic patronage is
lodged, to follow suite now. Indeed,
we favor the establishment OF party
law which shall distribute the favors OF
the party according TO the numerical
strength Of its factions, personal fit
ness, Of course, being first considered)
recognizing. not alone the faction that
wins in the primaries. but also the fac
ton that don't win and in proportion to
the force it exhibits. In the mean
while. let US go ahead rs ifthls law was
already adopted, and elect Heating upon
IL.

Messrs Editors The long and severe drought
has at length been terminated by q refreshing

given of this peculiar and newly dis
covered phenomenon was reported last
Saturday afternoon, and since that
time a Gazette reporter, under the guild

scene of what proved to be one Of the
most wondrous discoveries ever brought
to light in this region, Nearly all the
