The Peabody Trusts.

The trustees of the Peabody donation
fund, in their report for the year 1881,
said that the net gain of the year, from
rents and interest, had been e29,751
Is. Up. The sum given and beQueathed
by Mr.. Peabody was, in 1862, a15O,OOO;
in 1866. 100000; in 1868, 100000;
in 1873. f15G,000, making a total of
100000, to which has been added
money received for rent and interest,
$780, 48 As. 9p., making the total fund
on the 31st of December last e780,448

been f78l, 040 95. I'd. Up to the end
Of the year the trustees had provided

es. These rooms comprised 2.787 sep.
arate dwellings, which were occupied
by II, 459 persons. The death-rate in
the Peabody buildings for the year
was 1922 per one thousand, which is
about B 50 in thousand below the
average of all London for the same
period. The average weekly earnings
of the head of each family in residence
at the close Of the year was 81 IS. 73d
The average rent of each dwelling was
As. SID. per week, and of each room
Is.
The trustees refer to the objection
sometimes made that they have de.
parted from the expressed intentions
of the founder, and that the benefits
of the fund are enjoyed by a class for
which they were not originally de-
signed. To these objections the suffi
Gent answer is that the late Mr.. Pea
body, with whom three of the trustees
lived on terms of intimacy and conf.
dence. was fully cognizant of, and was
consulted upon, the precise application
of the funds bestowed by him, and
that several years after the date of
his first gift, and on more than one
occasion, he personally sanctioned the
two leading principles on which his
fund has, since its origin, been admin
istered: First, that the buildings
shall be occupied by tenants of the
working classes, paying reasonable
rent; secondly, that the income thus
obtained shall be applied to the con
struction from time to time of fresh
buildings similar to those already ex-
listing, so that the operation Of the
fund may admit of indefinite though
gradual extension.

The Introduction of Silk in England

me tntrOouctiSn OF Six IN England.
London Globe.
In 1864 the French began to cult
vate the silk-worm, and in the reign of
Henry w. the mulberry might be seen
in extensive plantations. CuriOusly
enough, James I. seems to have had
great ideas about introducing the in
dustry into England. Perhaps the
commercial character of this monarch
has not been sufficiently appreciated.
We know him chiefly for his antipathy
to tobacco; but it would seem that he
was the originator of the movement
which the Hon. Mrs. Milford is now SO
much interested in. Silk was indeed
worn in England long before his time.
How strange it is to read of ball Civ
en- in Kenilworth castle four hundred
years ago, memorable because some of
the wives of the peers wore on that &C.
casion silk mantles. But these were
imported mantles, and scarcely the
homemade article, and yet Kenilworth
castle is not so far from Coventry.
But the fame of Coventry belongs to a
much later century. 1t is curious how
the history of every English manufac-
ture is sure to lead back to one great
date-the date of the revocation of the
edict of Nantes. If Louis XIV. had
known how he was aggrandizing Eng
land by this piece OF treachercus di-
plomacy, ''the most Christian king
might almost have become Protest
ant. Long after the date of that Ken
ilworth ball, London became the great
center of the silk trade of England,
and the year of the Restoration there
were forty thousand people at work in
the city and It's suburbs. But when
the year of the revocation of the edict
had come to close there had settled
down at Spitalields little colony of
French Huguenot workmen, who were
destined 10 produce by and by gre It
commercial results for the country of
their adoption. Hitherto there had
been great hostility TO foreign work
men employed in the silk trade. This
hostility had dated back for several
centuries. The importers were de-
scribed as the kings enemies, the i'm
ported goods were defined in statute
of Edward Tvs time sin substance
deceitful, and in regard of any mans
occupation and profit, nothing worth"
The introduction of ribbons was abso-
lutely prohibited by statutes re-enacted
time after time as they expired, and
finally the prohibition was made per-
petHal.

CALL To THE BIRDS.

Up from the river reeds,
Out from your bushy beds,
q, my brown eyes
AL, as the rosy light
Flows in across the night
So my heart cries.
Up from the grassy spray,
Out from your nests OF clay,
East way or west;
All, with the speckles red,
Gaily that overspread
Plump back and breast.
Up, up and fly to me,
Feed me with melody
Sweet, pure and high,
Blue clp and yellow cap,
White wing and amber tip
This is my cry.
Now the full day is born,
And with his golden horn
Thrust high and higher,
Comes the grand king OF day,
Kindling the clouds SO gray
All into fire.
Over the bar of sand,
Over the clover land,
Over the hills,
Rise up and fly to me;
Sing out If memory
All my life's ills.
Come, sweet and solemn note,
Come, fair and speckle throat,
Come. large and small,
Brown bill and ruby bill;
All, my heart holdeth still,
Room for you all.

THE RESULT IN OHIO.

What has been predicted by intelli-
gent observers Of passing political events
"a Democratic victery-is now an I'M
deniable fact. The Republican party in
Ohio was "a house divided against it
self" on the temperance question, Gov
ernor Foster advocating stringent legis-
lation in regard to the liquor traffic i'll
the rural districts, while Senator Sher-
man, in the cities of that State, was at
tempting to conciliate the liquor interest
and the German vote. 4 campaign led
IN this remarkable and inconsistent style
was not only sure of failure, but de-
served to fail.
After an election, however, the victors
forget everything except party triumph.
From Maine to California, the Democratic
journals will hail the result in Ohio as a
forerunner of National success in 1884.
The Ohio disaster will greatly intensity
the interest of both Republicans and
struggle in New York and Pennsylvania.
A Democratic victory in the two latter
States, on the top of the Ohio success.
would make the Democrats SO sanguine
of electing any sort of a President, on
any sort of platform, in 1884, that the
better elements of their party would be
powerless to restrain the baser clements
of it, and whose politics are simply an
appetite for the spoils of patronage. Al
though the result in Ohio is attributable
solely to local causes. and has no earthly
significance SO far as National issues be-
tween the parties are concerned, yet the
Democrats rill claim otherwise, and
{ thousands will believe them. Republi-
cans had better be warned in time, else
their party differences may cost them
national defeat.

the Baltimore -1meFicah as the author of
the following, yet there is some force i'll
the points stated.
"ProSpects,' says this newspaper
brighten for the election of Blair, the
Republican candidate for Congress in
the Second district. There are three
new elements of weakness that combines
to make Talbot election very inprob-
able. First of these is the discomfort
among the Cecil Democracy with the
nomination of Judge Stump for the See
ond judicial circuit on Wednesday.
Stump had been defeated in Cecil, and
the arbitrary way in which the judicial
convention ignored that fact and forced
him on that county has made the Cecil
out on election day to vote for Stump,
and their staying at home will weaken
the Talbot vote in that county. In adj
dition to this, the Cecil Democracy want

faction with the nomination Of Judge

cial nomination in that circuit, the effect

Gratis from the regular ticket, which, of
course. will weaken the abbott vote. 4
third element of discomfort is that it

OUR NOMINEE.

MIR. Thaddeus C. Blair, whom the Re-
publicans of this District have selected as
their Congressional candidate, labors IN
der one disability SO far as Cecil county is
concerned-of being comparatively un-
acquainted personally with it's voters.
We hope, however, he may remove the
disability, by meeting the most of them
during the canvass. He is a gentleman
who shares in the highest degree the con-
fidence and esteem of his associates and
friends. Although residing in Baltimore
county, where he is engaged as business
manager of the Ashland Iron Works, he
is quite generally known and esteemed
in Hartford county, where he is proper
ty holder. Mr. Blair's nomination has

ally into contact but also with the com
munity at large. Mr.. Blair is gentle
man in every way qualified to represent
the people of this District in Congress,
and if elected will discharge the duties
of the position with honor to himself and
credit to his constituents. He is about
40 years of age.
1t would be paying Mr.. Blair but an
equivocal compliment to say, that he
would be better Congressional repre-
sentative of this District than the gen
tleman who now represents it, nor do we
think Mr.. Blair's candidacy by any means
hopeless one. While we may not see as

THE RESULT,

AS will be seen by full report of its
proceedings, published in another col
umn, the Democratic Nominating Con-
vention, which assembled at Chester
town, on Wednesday, has presented for
reelection, to the Democratic voters of
this Judicial District, the old Bench in
it's entirely-Judges Robinson, Wickes
and Stump 1t has done this, toe, with
almost the complete unanimity of the
delegates who voiced the sentiment of
the Democrats of the District. We have
no comment to make upon the result,
simply because we have heretofore i'm
partially and impersonally, at the sug-
gestion neither of the friends of Judge
Stump nor of the personal opponents Of
Mr.. Cruikshank, openly and disinterest-
edly in the interest of tie people Of this
county, and not of any individual, dis
cussed the candidacy of these gentlemen.
The obligation we as o journalist owed
the public, has been partially discharged.
When the Republicans shall have made
their nominations, we shall fully dis
charge it. We believe that the Republi-
Z cans of this county and of this judicial
District have now offered them in the
discussions and differences of their oppo-
nents an admirable opportunity of max
ing nom partisan appeal to the conserva-
tive sentiment of the district. by the
selection of gentlemen OF character and
standing as judicial candidates. Our
county convention has selected its accred-
tied delegates to our nominating conven-
ton, to be assembled at Ceatreville, on
Tuesday next. They doubtless will act
solely in the interest of the Republican
party of the county and district, and
will make such nominations as shall
commend themselves to the best senti-
ment of our people. After these nomi-
Nations shall have been made discussion
will be in order.
