EdIG0FsaI Amenities.
Under the head Of ''novelties," We took
occasion . few issues back 70 enumerate q few
Of the attractions Of our slater village Of Port
Tobacco, but intimAted ut the same time, that
they could not safely be compared in number
and quality vita those that flourish in eur
own larger and more highly favored metro
polls. We had expected, Of course, that
Brother Cox would have demurred to this
claim, but he aPpeara TO have, been. caught
In most amiAbls hum0r, and this 10 the way
be shoWsit:
's'sThe Gb0ve''-Esis commenting On our
aEticie-'the above We clip from our usually
Gimiabis neighboT; che .BnAcoK az last week
and we'fliink he straiKs point in his ctiti-
cism. We answer that We do not grow In
the least jubilant over the ADORE .Easts, but
msfeiy mention them a. meters az nsws to
oar people, NOS in che least expecting that
they w0ald interest our contemporary or his
readers. The fsh-fty was q matter Of fact,
and we cannot see why the fact Of iGs being
on . creek prevents e from being on .
siream also, our impression b that all
RAINING waters are Streams, and q historic
one at that a. everything In Port Tobacco is
historic. We 10 not know that Brother Cox
can a. an honest wifsess say whether the
shooting gallery is . fact or not bat the juni-
or editor, who gave the item can Vouch for IL
being an k0ReSG realty. We have no Supple
.Iaeks, or puppets here TO throw balls at but
have nine veIy substantial beings thIt you
may throw balls 81 all day, aud not knock
them over either, but who can knock the
'stuffiD' out Of any nine puppets in Leonard
town on . ball field. We do assure our
neighbor that chills nor mosquitoes had moth
ing 70 do with the emigration OF our shoot
mig gallery from the fsct that it has not emi-
grated but 10 still an established fact here,
regardless Of the aforementioned uuisances.
Apropos OF this matter We would 5uggest "a
our brother that IL he will only keep bis eye
on the precincts Of bis own sweet bvrgh Of
county he will have enough iH this line to
attEnrt his attention without wasting the
powers OF his stRpendous intellect by remind
ing us Of our Iailings. Leonardtown should b
vindicated but in doing il remember the old
saR brother that people who live I'm glass
houses should not throw stones"
In further iIluslEatios Of the subject Of edi'
toFiAl amenities, we sake the following ex-
tracts from the AaaspsIis Reesrd, promising,
that in our issue Of two weeks ago, We CAV,
publication to the following batch Of state
meats made by that Journal:
"Judge Aagruder was defeated BY the Stats
Managers, and Judge Stope, . Republican
put IN his place. The Anne Arundel frauds
were ccndonedG in the last Legislature and 9
semi Republican, one John b. Brooke, voted
In - Judge when he never was fairly elected
Now Mr.. Iarboe, the democratic clerk of TN
court in Prince Georges dieA and judges
Stone and Brooke put IN Belt . republican
rs clerk. This Is state Managers politics
and yet they hare the impertipence to asssi
the democracy % Democrats who oppose theiE
selfish and unsavory methods"
On this statement Of supposed facts, VI
made the following comment frankly &C.
knowledging that we knew nothing Of the
verify Of the RseorFs charges, and only con-
misting ourselves 10 the proposition contain
Cd IA the closing lines Of the extract giVen
below:
snow, however Il may be about the otheI
matters spoken ofby The Record, or whAtev'
er may have besn the conduct OF the stats
, managers towards JHdge MagTuder. ahonI
which re know nothing, and probably know
As much as oar brother, Il impFcsses rs As 9
little singular, that the Jndee's supporters ia
this eouuty should turn cut % be the very
people whom Gov Hamilton has prescribed
or Ignored and Judge Stones friends, ths
lucky fellows when he has chiefly listened %
and nainly promoted te public Office"
