Mr.. Topnoody went to the minstrels
last night, and tho funny conundrums
and jokes he heard set him to thinking.
So at breakfast lie began On Mrs. Top
moody. She was warm aud not very
much in the humor for pleasantly, but
Topnoody slashed away.
"I say, Mrs. Topnoody, can you spell
hard water with three letters?"
"No, 1 can't; might, though, if you
had taken me to the minstrels last
night" This staggered him little.
but not seriously.
"And you can't spell it? Well, ice,
amt that hard water9'
Mrs. Topnoddy never smiled, and Mr..
T. went on:
"Now spell money with four let
ters."
"I don't know how" she said.
"Ha, ha, that's too good. A woman
never can get at this sort of thing in the
same clear-headed way Q man can.
Well, the way to spell tbs, cash, amt
that money?'
Again did Mrs. L. fail to smile, and
Topnoody started out with another.
"Hold on minute she interrupted,
looking ugly; Tive got one; let's see
il you can get it. Spell Topnoody ;
with four letters" Topnoody scratched
his head and gave it mp.
"Ha, ha," laughed Mrs t., "thats
too good. A man never can get at this
sort of thing in the same clear-headed
way woman can. Well, the way to
spell it is, fool, amt that Topnoody?'
But Topnoody never smiled. and the
breakfast was finished in silence except
an occasional chucklo from Mrs. Top
noody's end of the table.-Steubenrills

TIE Time Consuming Match.

MIR. Edward Prince, splint manuiac-
turer of Horseshoe Bay, Buckingham
township, is authority for the statement
that there are about twenty-five match
factories in the United States and CAN
ada and that the daily production-and
consequent daily yconsumption-is about
$4,000 gross. II may seem q queer
statement to make that 100 900 hours Of
each successive day are spent by the
people OF the two countries in striking
light, but such is undoubtedly the
case. In each gross Of matches manu-
aetured there are III boxes. so that the
$4,000 gross produces $500, coo boxes.
Each box at least those made in the
States where a duty Of one cent upon
every box Of matches is leyied-contains
100 matches, so that the number of
matches produced and used daily
amounts TO 800, 900, 900. Counting that
it takes second TO light each match
and IL is questionable whether it can be
done in less time than that, while some
men occupy several minutes sometimes
in trying TO strike n light, particularly
when boozy-to light tho 800, 900, ,O0d
would take just that number of seconds.
This gives G,O00000 minutes, or IOO,-
600 hours. In days of tventy-four
hours each it figures up TO 4, 166 2-3,
and gives eleven years and five months,
with couple OF days extra. as the time
oecnpied during every twepty-four
hours, by the people Of North America
not figuring on tho Mexicans-in
striking matches. Figuring a little
further it gives 4, 159 years time in each
year. The fact may seem amazing, but
It is undoubtedly coirect.- Oaa,ed Free

Political.

The Maryland republicans profess to be conf
dent that Gov. Hamilton will soon explode a
bomb in the ranks Of what is called the ring de-
mocracy of the State, which will rend the DEM
ocratic party in twain, and thus enable them to
creep into power during the noise and confusion
which will ensue This programme which would
degrade His Excellency to the level of Malone, is
destined to sad disappointment. Gov. Hamil-
ton is a true and tried democrat and is given to
using bombs which explode only in TIE ranks OF
the enemy. 1t is possible indeed, that he may
make some publication, but ii is the most unlike
" thing in the world that it will be in the ma
tnre of an attack on his own party or Will con-
tain any comfort for the republicans Of Maryland
The situation is unchanged in the Senate
contemporary says that the haste of the Malone
republicans to readust the Senate, although ex-
ccutiye business is neglected, is due simply to the
spsnicions Of Malone, who wants hispay. BE ia
ike a city bootback who when ne suspects his
customer demands his fee before beginning on
tho second shoe. Malone has blackened the COM
mittee shoe. but before he will blacken the Exc
cutive shoe. he wants his Riddelberger in hand
Half pay may be good enough for the the credl'
tors of Virginia, but it will not do for Malone

Of persons conveying oysters out Of the State be-

been misconeeiyed BY some of the papers. They

emptng the tongsmen from arrest &c., which
is all wrong. Those who take oysterso out Of the
State, not those who catch and sell them, were
liable to arrest after the LIST Of April inter the
18th section, and are relieved from that liability
until after the 18th Of April by the order Of the

JABBoEsyILLB. MD April a, 1881.
Messrs. Editors Eff March came in like lion,
sic went out With all her fur on, and the carly
days of April are yet resonant with her receding
roar. 1t is showing at this writing. The cold
leaden sky and keenress Of the blast signing
through the pendant branches Of our nearest
neighbors, the pines, give but faint promise of
balmy Spring.
Gardening Is in a backward state, several not
having planted their early potatoes, peas etc.
Death has been busy In this section oflate three
of our old and respected citizens, Messrs. Dent,
Bond and Craddock, having left us in quick sue
cession. There is considerable sickness, and
such has been the case for sometime past, colds
In various forms being chronic and epidemical.
Our rival roads, if we may judge from the pa
pers, are displaying considerable zeal and max
ing commendahle progress, but somehow, while
not wishing to appear skeptical, or say an un-
justifable word against Them these questions of
ten come up and will not down at our bidding ;
Is the work done, and being done, upon the re-
speetive roads proper commensurate with their

amount is sold Does the Southern Maryland
