A few years ago it was the fashion
among a certain clique OF politicians,
utterances were echoed by a por-
ton of the press, to clamor for he
removal of the Capitol from Washington
to some representative Western city near
to the geographical centre of the coun-
try. The topic seemed to prove q seven
days wonder, however, and was soon
forgotten in the rush and requirements
of the Nations urgent business. Nov
whether the Capitol viii ever be re-
moved OF not is not near SO interesting a
question to some people as whether
rheumatism can or will be removed from
their bodies. The subject of the removal
of this disease from the system has very
successfully interested myriads OF people,
and from the extended expressions con-
veyed by the almost innumerable state
ments received from representatives OF
every class of the community, we append
the following brief selection,-premising
for the benefit of the reader that the dis
ease referred to is rheumatism OF neural

The Harp an Irish Emblem.

The earliest records we have of the
Celtic race give the harp a prominent
place and harpists peculiar veneration
and distinction. 1t was common to the
northern races of Europe in the earlier
centuries of the Christian era, and in the
opinion of many antiquarians was origi-
nal among them. The Irish harp was
often an hereditary instrument, to be
preserved with great care and veneration,
and used by the bards of the family,
alike the poet-musicians and historians.
It was long ago adopted by the Irish as
a national emblem, and has been sung of
by the most accomplished and patriotic
sons of Ireland since time out Of mind.

Ceramic ArtfuIness.

There are o good many humbugs in
the world, and art circles are as often
deceived by them as are less aesthetic
people. A London collector recently re-
fused to pay S., 600 for q pair of rose Du-
barry vases, which he had bought of a
dealer for old Sevres, affirming that they
were spurious, and that the seller had
tempted him to buy by exaggerating the
price he himself had paid for them.
There were pretty strong grounds for
suspecting that the sellers figures were
exaggerated, and good judges were
equally divided as to the genuineness or
spuriousness of the vases. The jury,
however, held the buyer liable for the
full amount.
Sevres is not the only ware about
which there is much uncertainty. Con-
noisseurs often go into ecstasy about
"old Satsuma," but Professor Morse,
who has lived in Japan, declared in a re-
cent lecture before the Lowell Institute
OF Boston, that Satsuma is not held in
any special estimation in Japan. There
are four kinds of 1.-THE gray painted,
the gray inlaid, the brown, and the light
colored or yellow. The Japanese claim
that the yellow clay was not discovered
until the present century, and that there
is no ancient Satsuma pottery all arti-
Giles of real Satsuma are small, and have
no stamp upon them and plates with
heavy rims, cups with handles, and sau-
GERS and pitchers, have absolutely no ex-
lstence in genuine Japanese pottery.
Two rare old articles of genuine Satsu-
ma ware which were obtained by the leo
turer with great trouble and expense,
were made se~venty-fve years ago.. The
larger articles sold as ancient Satsuma
are from two to o years old, and are
principally sold in Toxic, and are rubbed
with charcoal dust to give them an ap-
pearance of age.
The Professor also declared that be
had himself stood beside an agent of an
American firm which deals in ''Satsuma"
ware, and heard him give an order for a
great quantity of this "ancient" pot
terry, directing the designs, and telling
the maker to put on plenty of decora-
tions, no matter what. These large
pieces are regarded by the Japanese as
abominable paraphrases, and a name is
applied to them which signifies that they
are made solely to be exported. They
are, for the most part, not Satsuma at
all, but Awata, and the decoration is per-
formed by, children and cheap workmen
of all kinds.
There are a good many fine specimens
OF Satsuma, not a few of large size, to
be found in all our American cities. The
amount paid for some of these will D
pear much magnifed in the light of Pro-
fessor Morse's revelations. If he is to
be credited, there are other Japanese
arts than the finishing of pottery, which
collectors and all purchasers would do
well to study.

~Ingersoll's Father.

Bob Ingersoll's father was a tremen-

wildly portrayed the horrors Of the
Judgment day and the fortunes of hell,
that the whole audience (which came

was swayed like trees by a strong wind

nearly all were upon their knees. He

Safe Light on Railroad Cars.

1t is proposed to forbid the use of oil
on railway cars for light. This is wise.
Many serious accidents have resulted
from this habit. Gas or the electric
light will serve. The railroad companies
may object to the expense, but when life
and safety are concerned the question Of
expense should not be considered. The
people pay SO much money to the rail-

nature is less liable to
throw it off; and an eff

County Board of Health.

The County Board of Health met in the
Court House at Rockville, on the Sd instant,
H. c. Hallowell, President, in the chair
Proceedings of the last meeting read.
When the subsidiary boards were called,
Mechanicsville, Rockville and Gaithersburg
were represented.
Mr.. Hallowell said he was not aware that
any of the subsidiary boards had met, ex-
cept those represented, and it was ques-
ton whether the county board should be
continued.
Mr.. Farquhar made some remarks in ref
ercnce to the objects of the board; that good
had resulted from the effort; that commu-
mites would have to be educated to the i'm
portance of it, and he favored the continu-
ance of the board.
Mr.. DeSellum mentioned pond of stag
nant water in the vicinity of Germantown,
near which number of cases of malarial
fever had occurred, which never had been
the case before.
Mr.. Rapley said he appeared before the
board in the name of humanity that he
begged IL there was any power vested in it
that they would assert it and abate a nuis-
ance he would mention-a pond of stag
nant water In Berry's District. Not a fam.
lily within mile Of it had escaped fever,
and some deaths have occurred.
Mr.. Brown, from the same nighborhood,
said he knew of iorty-nine cases. Mr.. b.
handed in letter from Dr. Harding stating
he had treated forty cases of fever which he
believed resulted from the pond spoken of;
that he had gone before the Board Of Coun-
ty Commissioners, who had promised TO
give the matter attention, but up to that
time nothing had been done.
Mr., Hallowell read letter from DIR. Chan
cellor, saying that the board has no power
to act summarily in such cases that he has
made every effort before the Legislature to
induce them to increase the powers of the
Board, but thus far had been met by an
abridgment Of facilities, and advised that
these cases be brought to the attention of
the Grand Jury as nuisances prejudicial to
the public health.
Mr.. Prettyman moved that a committee
be appointed to wait on the County Com
missioners at their next meeting, represent
these cases and the Jail nuisance, and press
their abatement.
The Chair appointed Mr.. Peter, DIR. Mad
dox and DR.. Stonestreet.
Mr. Prettyman moved that previous to
the meeting of the next Legislature the
President call meeting of the board and
appoint committee for each district of the
county to procure signatures for the passage
of a law vcsting in our local board the same
power as in that of Baltimore City.
The next business in order being election
OF officers for the ensuing year, Mr. Halow-
ell said he thought the President ought 10
live in Rockville, and hoped no vote would
be cast for him.
Mr.. Prettyman moved that DIR. Martin be
authorized to cast the vote of the meeting
for the present officers, which was unani-
mously carried.
The meeting then adjourned.
