A Miser and a Hermit.

William ]. Handy, the old miser and hermit of
Annamessex. Somerset county, who was recently
pronounced insane brought to st. Vincents
Hospital, Baltimore, few days since by Mr. Levin
H. Waters appointed as his trustee. Handy was
clad in new suit of clothes, and this is supposed
to be the first time he has been comfortably attred
for twenty years. Although worth $4,000, he has
deprived himself of the necessaries of life for many
wears. Before the war he large STAKEHOLDER,
and his estate was quite valuable. After the eman-
cipation, Handy declared that he would never en-
poy any hired labor to carry on his farms, and he
has fully carried out his resolution. The farm
upon which he lived, from being well titled and
productive estate, has grown to be perfect will
derness. a plow not having entered the soil for
seventeen years. The woods have approached to
within a few feet of the doors, and an almost in
visible foot path is the only avenue to the public
road Here in this secluded place and in wreck
of house he and an aged sister lived alone until
she died, year ago. Four times has he been
robbed and several thousand dollars obtained.

PROTECTING SHEEP.

Montgomery County Grange held a largely at
tended meeting at Gaithersburg on the 9th Of
October Among other matters of public inter-
est, an earnest discussion was had on the best
method of protecting sheep hugbandry. Stats
ties were gathered from the members present, and
237 sheep were known to have been killed by
dogs in the last two years. 1t was agreed by the
unanimous vote Of the Grange to petition the
next Legislature to have passed an act with these
features
l. All dogs shall be declared a nuisance. Any
dog found without a collar with the owners name
legibly inscribed thereon within go days after the
passage of the act, shall be killed by any con-
stable in the district said officer to receive -
cents, TO be paid by the Uwnur of the dog, unless
the amount cannot be made, then the constable
shall present his BILL duly proven. to the tax col
lector of his district, who shall pay it from the
license herein provided.
.. All damage done to man or beast of any
kind shall be paid for by the owner of the dog
committing the damage; if the amount cannot be
made out of the owner, he shall forfeit the dog,
which may be killed by the party damaged or he
shall cause him to be killed by the constable.
g. Any dog caught in the act Of damaging
sheep shall be killed on the spot, the owner Of
said dog shall not be able to recover any redress,
nor will he be exempt from the damage done by
the dog.
4. Any person desiring to retain in his posses
sion a female Dig may do so by procuring from
the Clerk of the Court license to that effect, by
paving the sum of s. annually and any person
retaining in his possession female dog without
license shall be subject to the fine of $40, to be
collected as other fines and it shall be the duty
of the constable in each district to that all fe
male dogs not licensed are shot, and he shall re-
ceive the sum of - for killing the same. The
amount arising from licensing female dogs shall
be paid over BY the Clerk into the hands of the
Commissioners, and may be drawn on by the Col
Iector to pay the Constable for services in killing
dogs upon the proper evidence.

A Gigantic ENTERPRISE.

Among the gigantic enterprises of the present
day there are few that in world wide Importance
can compare with the proposed construction OF
shin canal across the peninsula of Florida. All
the railroads and canals of the country are not
sufficient to carry more than third of the grain
products of the country to the seaboard Nearly
twenty millions of tons cannot reach Market
The Mississippi valley is capable of producing
three times as much as it does at presents but even
now the facilities for transporting cotton, tobacco
and other articles to market are entirely made
ouate. The farmers of several of the trans Mis-
sissipp States have to pay ten cents bushel more
for carving their wheat to the seaboard than 1t
costs the farmers in California to send theirs
around Cape Horn to the city of New York. Such
are the dangers of the Gulf of Mexico that send
ing freights around Florida is impraetleable as a
relief measure To send cotton by rail from Mont
gomery to Savannah, and thence by an ocean ves-
sci to New York costs S2S bale. A ship will
carry it around the Florida peninsula and thence
to New York at somewhat less rate, but at greater
risk. The ship canal will reduce freight charges
at least fifty per cent.-Erchdnge.

LOVE WITHOUT NoNsENCE.

About two months ago young woman entered
an office in Justice alley and took seat without
speaking to any one and it was only after two long
hours had dragged away that his Honor inquired
what he could do for her.
AZ came here to get married." her prompt
reply.
"To the fellow who has been waiting me-"
"Where is he 2"
81 don't know He agreed to be here long ago,
but shant wait any longer. Well come In some
time during the week..
In about ten days she appeared with white
haired William on her arm and said they were
ready to be married, but just then fire alarm was
turned in and away went the lover at the top OF
his pace to see the fun AS he did not return In
the course of an hour the girl said she guessed
postpone the marriage to another day. On the
fourth day after, the pair once more entered the
Office, but law suit was in progress. They sat
together hands clasped and eyes full of love, while
the lawyers abused each other, but after the case
had hung on till dusk they got discouraged and
went out, the girl saying to his Honor:
"Never mind-some other day will do as well.
"But won't you get discouraged|
"Oh. no. We simply thought we'd get married,
but there is no cause for any rush about it.
Three days elapsed, and his Honor sat looking
into the bowl of his pipe when the pair opened the
door, walked in and removed their hats, and the
woman said
eff you haven't got anything to do just now you
may marry us, and I'll get back to my sweeping
and dusting.'
The ceremony was speedily begun and conelud-
ed, and the bride turned to her hat and shawl with
| the remark
civilian, I'll pay the fee, and you can hand 1t
to me some time during the month" as she TOOK
out wallet.
"All right Mary. I'll be over and see you the
| last of the week."
every well-go long William"
She paid the fee, waited for certificate, and
went out with the remark;
"Excuse the bother, sir, but we did think 1t best
to marry and I'm sure we're quite obliged to you
| in addition"

The Tides of the Chesapeake.

The subject of the tides has been one of interest
to mariners and landsmen for long time. Gu
rious fact as stated is that it is always ebb tide at
Cane Henry at moon rising or setting 1t is al
ways high tide at New Point Comfort at moon
rising or setting it is always low tide at Hoop
ers Straits at moon rising or setting, and high
tide at Sandy Point at the same time, and Hood
tide at all points above Sandy Point when the
mo N rises or sets. vessel entering the capes
with strong, fair wind at beginning of the Hood
tide NAV carry the same tide to Baltimore. But
a vessel leaving Baltimore for the capes will en-
counter three flood tides her way, no matter
how fast she may sail, and it may be she will have
to contend against several more if she has head
wind. Every flood tide that enters the Chesa-
peake bay goes to the head of every tidewater
stream or tributary of the bay, while the same
ebb tide does not run more than sixty miles, and
some times great deal less, so that there are al
ways two ebb tides and two flood tides in the
Chesapeake bay at the same time, and some times
three Of one or the other. The flood tide runs
about six hours, the ebb runs little longer, so
that twelve hours and forty minutes are required
for flood tide and ebb tide to pass the same point
1t is always flood tide in the WicOmico river on
the morning of Easter, and the same at Whitsun-
tide-Er

For the "Union.'
THE AUTUMN SUNDAY MORNING.
scexE-THE WOODS, THE STREAM, THE
FIELDS.

All is still without-man seems breathless,
While Nature stands motionless and mute,
As if, from out the curtained heaven,
In mystic words, her God were speaking,
On the hills, and up and down the valley,
The sun sends out his kindliest beams,
His pencil tinting with wondrous art
Now with russet- brown, anon with gold
The gossamer frames of myriad leaves.
Fair are these, yet fairer is the Maker
And wisely by these leaves doth He speak,
These children of the teeming earth,
Once nursed by swaying, roaring Winds
As, one by one, to the dust they fall,
Rustling their own graceful requiem!
Along the clear stream that winds beneath
Yon hill-decked in green, yellow and red
Recline the cattle, patient and toil-worn,
Their music the murmurs of the brook,
The clovered fields their undying feast;
Hither and thther cheerily fit
Those minstrels of Nature so welcome,
Whose hymns sincere, all unharmed by art,
Soon the dense woods around will echo.
With Nature in this her Sabbath Dress
maintain communion sweet and long,
And lowly, gladly, bend to One supreme
In goodness, purity and power,
The Creator Of beauties numberless,
Of man the wonderful Architect,
Saviour compassionate as WE'LL
But from Natures page, adorned and wise
More bright and pure, too, than missal choice
| turn to the winding, well worn path,
Leads to the ancient, all hallowed aisle.
Yet ere I reach the consecrated walls,
I gladly pause and deep homage pay,
For hark the village church bell loudly rings,
In the vale everywhere its sound rings out!
Ring out, thou bell ring out loud and clear
Aye, the slumbring wake, the halting hasten,
Lead both across the sacred threshold
Lead within the far and near, sire and son,
All to hear priceless words of love and truth.
Cheerfully thy summons, Lord, 1 obey,
Guide me, then, in my morning sacrifice,
Make me pure within, devout without,
And when the place for solemn thought leave,
May know thee more, love thee better,
Yea, ever think, and dare, and do the right

FoRTELLING THE WEATHER.

The present month of November appears to be
favorite subject with the weather prophets. 1t
is rather singular that, Notwithstanding the dif-
ference in their theories and methods, they all
agree in predicting extraordinary atmospheric
disturbances during the next four or five weeks.
The meteorological phenomena, which will make
1881 marked year in scientific history, have had
the effect of stimulating inquiry into the sources
of the changes of the weather. The most ancient
people had rules for foretelling the weather and
the practical importance of the subject to naviga-
ton and agriculture has in all times attracted at
tention to it. Yet there is to-day no branch of
human knowledge in such an imperfect and un-
satisfactory condition as meteorolOgy.
The weather prophets succeed very well rs long
as the seasons preserve their accustomed course :;
but whenever year of extraordinary disturbances
like the present) occurs, their predictions serve
only to make plain the groundlessness of the as
sumptons upon which they are based. The most
promising line of inquiry at present seems to be
the study of the suns influence. Every year adds
to our kno owledge of the nnumerable ways in which
the sun acts upon the earth. From regarding the
sun as great torch placed in the heavens only to
give light men have learned to look upon it as the
source and support of all forms OF life upon the
earth It's influence is felt in every direction
The further scientific inquiry is pushed, the more
clearly it shows the intimate relation OF the sun to
the natural forces at work on this little ball.
teoroIogical changes upon the earth has long been
suspected, and observations are now being made
in various parts of the earth to determine the fact
Two curious condolences happened last Summer
On June &c, Piazzi Smyth, the astronomer, OBJ
| served that the sudden formation of an enormous
and alarming of clouds in the sky OF Madeira,
which caused much astonishment among the in
habitants of that island, was coineident with the
breaking out of group of sun spots. One month
later another extraordinary cloud was seen in
Madeira, following the sudden appearance of a
second group of sun spots, which were carefully
photographed at an astronomical observatory in
| India. Prof s. ascribes the formation of these
clouds to electric action responsive to the outbursts
| in the sun.
There is hardly another branch of scientific re-

A I,,olrnrr Rattar

Mr.. Walton, the New York hotel man. who has
amazed the English sporting world by his daring
but successful "plunging' on the turf, began his
career at Saratoga in the spring, when he started
with 900 at betting on the races during the
day and playing poker at night. Net results Of
dual risks $4,000 profits. With this nest egg he
went over to England and took swing at the
great races. On the St. Leger he won $4,000,
since which he has won 100000 on FOxhall, and
has altogether plunged cool S5OO,OOO out of the
English sporting men. He proposes now to take
his winnings and his gout to some German spring
and return late in the winter to New York.
