The Baltimore NelOS, a Democratic
paper, says prominent Democrats in
Western Maryland claim that the
Sixth Districts will be carried by
1000 majority against any ticket the
ring may name. The same feeling
exists all over the State. If Demo-
Gratis are appealed to to come here
on the 18th instant, can it be posi-
BILE that any convention, whatever
may be the material of which it is
composed, will resist their entreaties
when it is acknowledged that the
great city of Baltimore is itself in al
most open revolt. Many members
of that convention, though apparent
ly bound to the fortunes of Mr.. Cor
man, will not 60 with him to destruc-
ton Loyalty to the party will over
ride loyalty to the individual if the
ease is plainly put, and no stone
should be left unturned to secure this
great end"

HAGERsTOwN, Md, September 8.
Democratic primaries held in Wash
ingtOn county Saturday evening re-
suited in favor of Gov. VIM. Hamil-
ton, after one of the most desperate
conflicts ever held in the county. In
six districts there was no contest. or
the fourteen other districts in which
there were contests. the Hamilton
men were successful in seven and the
anti.Hamlton men carried seven.
Of the districts carried for Hamilton,
Hancock was by two majority, Como
cocheague by ten and ChewSville by
two. A change of eight votes dis
tributed between these districts would
have tied the county. GOV. Hamil-
ton has been working hard for some
weeks, and the result Is cue 10 MS
untiring efforts. His friends here are
not overly pleased with the showings
not anticipating so strong an oppose
ton in the Governors home county.

little foOt-and.mouth disease existed
in the United States, and that in re-
gard to this sanitary regulations
were being properly enforced. Mr..
Chaplin, with some show of temper,
asked for statistics. Mr.. Dodson
stated that the proportion of cattle
afflicted in the United States was
smaller than it was in any other
place where the disease existed, and
that American exporters never risk
ed sending to foreign markets
either inferior or affected live cattle.
Mr.. Chaplin demanded to know if
the government Investigations did
not show that the fOOt-and- mouth
disease was a peculiarly American
cattle malady. Mr.. Dodson stated
that, on the contrary the inquiries
made proved but too plainly that
what foot-and-mOuth disease at pres.
ent prevailed among American cattle
had gone there in cattle obtained
from Europe, and that the general
scope of the information on hand
tended to show that by far the great
est part of the disease was directly
attributable to American importa-
lions of cattle from England. This
last statement was reluctantly made
and produced a sensation. Mr..
Chaplin then dropped the subject"

A Pithy Sentence.

A well known statesman of this
country once said when summing up
the events of a life time: "Youth is
a blunder, manhood struggle. old
age regret" He might have added
many more wonders, but they are
not necessary, for his aphorism ex-
presses much. Yet it is a we'll known
fact that the above could not be said
of life were all classes aware what
great remedy PERUNA is, and what
wonderous curses it has performed.
For the ills of youth it is wonder
Gus specific. The worry and tear of
manhood's struggle for existence en-
feeble his system, and he needs such
a tonic, and when old age comes on
with its feebleness and regrets for
failures and mistakes, the great reme-
dy PERUNA, can still be used with
good effect, and if given fair trial
will accomplish wonders.

By carefully weighing small
sample of wheat. counting the num-
Der of kernels in such sample, and
multiplying by the number of times
the weight Of such sample is contain
ed in the weight of bushel, we have
found that Of good plump kernals
there are from $4,000 to 100000 in a
bushel. Accordingly one bus hel of
seed to the acre will allow from four
teen to seventeen kernels to each
square foot, or one plant to every
third inch in either direction. If all
the seed grew, this would be quite
thick enough, as one plant often sends
up a dozen or more stalks.

OUR NEW YORK LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondence
NEW YORK, Sept. 7th, 1888.

NEW YORK, Sept. 7th, 1883.
The Democratic State Convention
at Buffalo, will undoubtedly end in
the usual row. Determined efforts
have been made by some of the best
men in the party to harmonic the
factions, but "rule or ruin" is Kel-
ly's motto. Hence Tammany Hall
has decided to send a delegation of it's
own to have no utilization with the
County Democracy, which after all is
the Irregular" body, and ifthereisa any
lost to gobble it all herself. Ofcourse
the County Democracy will not sub
nit to being walked over in this
style without struggle, and thus
there is likely to be a very pretty
fight. A good ticket and good
platform will undoubtedly secure
Republican victory this year and
bring with it a better chance for
1884.
Judge Hoadley, who has been so
badly knocked out before he came to
the scratch-to use the language of
the P. R.-has companion in mis-
cry, in Judge Kline, the Democratic
candidate for Governor in Iowa. He
has made such fool of himself that
an effort is to be made by the leaders
of his party to induce him to with
draw. A coalition between the DEM
ocrats and the Greenbackers will
then be made with General Weaver,
the rag baby hero at the head. A
leading Western politician told me
that this was the scheme, and that he
had every assurance that it would be
carried out "for," said he, "Kinne
knows that he will be disastrously
beaten and deserted in the fight, and
he may as we'll retire from a struggle
in which he has no chance of win
ming"
The Democrats who are at their
wits ends about the cry of "Tilden
and 3d." have a new fright. Some
one who processes to speak by the
card says that Mr.. Tilden does not
intend to run again, but that he al
lows his name to be used to make
way for another man. And every
one of them asks with dismay "can
it be Hewett ?" and John Kelly says
sit shall never be-"

The Maryland Republican, edited
by Hon Geo. Cotton, president of the
Board Of Police Commissioners of
Baltimore city, and who is looked
upon as good Democratic authority,

continually crying peace peace,

tude environ the party. Unpleasant
as it may be to look such facts square,
ly in the face, it is nevertheless the
plain duty of Democratic journalists
to point out the dangers in the path
way to success. and, by carefully con-
sidering them, to endeavor to save
the party from the evil consequences
of disintegration. 1t is our earnest
purpose now, as it always has been,
to aid in every possible way in exor-
cising the fiend dissension from our
ranks, and to try to bring back uni
ted and harmonious action to our dis

The Baltimore Sunday Ne,0S says,
"The portents of the last week should
give pause to suicidal efforts of the
rule or ruin politicians. The defec-
ton of two candidates in Somerset,
two in Montgomery, and the indie
pendent candidacy of one of the
strongest and most popular Demo-
Gratis in Dorchester county, are signs
that man of judgment, whatever may
be their prejudices, should not disre-
gard. Whom the Gods wish to des-
troy they first make mad,' and this is
probably applicable to Mr.. German
and his followers, who seem bent on
having their way no matter what the
consequences may be-"

No Room to Kick.

This anecdote is told of the late
Commodore Vanderbilt: AtSaratoga
on one occasion, when sitting on the
piazza of hotel, somewhat over
dressed lady approached and claimed
his acquaintance. The Commodore
rose and talked affably with her,
while his wife and daughter shifted
the air with scorn. Father" said
the young lady, as the Commodore
resumed his seat, didn't you remem-
Der that vulgar Mrs, B, as the
woman who used to sell poultry to us
at home?'' "Certainly," responded
the old gentleman promptly, "and L
remember your mother when she
used to sell root beer at 8 cents glass
oyer in Jersey, when I went up there
from Staten Island peddlipg oysters
out of my boat" AS this hoinely re-
ply was heard by group surround
ing the family, there was no further
attempt at aristocratic airs on the part
of the ladies during that season.

The Remarkable Discovery OF n ProvI-
dencc Editor.
An article in the Providence Journal relat-
ing TO the coming total eclipse Of the sun, in
May next, contains the following paragraph :
The former is about ten mile In circumference
nud is iuhu .tcl by tiiry natives OF the Malay
miles IN olrCumicrcuce, aud Is, We believe, unin-
hUbited
The favored spot where this remarkable
man has been developed in all his greatness
Caroline Island in the South Pacific ocean,
If any less reputable journal than the one
quoted had thrown this announcement un-
heralded into the camp of reason we should
have written IL down ms a prevaricaton. But
the PrOridcnce journal is reputable sheet. Its
editor sits through the weary vigils Of the
night, his eye glued to his telescope, following
the drift of stars through the sea of space
and iotting down their movements for the
odifcation of his astronomical readers.
Through each long day, with calm and medi-
tative gaze, he watches the revolution of our
Legislative bodies and ever and anon sweeps
his eagle vision across both hemispheres and
brings to light some undiscovered wonder.
His recent find cevatcs him to tho topmost
ring of the ladder Of discovery, and Humboldt
and Darwin and all the host that has gone
before enviously gaze upward at the soes of
his shoes. The Chinese giant and Capt Bates
will doubtless shed pailfuls of tears when they
learn that their laurels have been removed TO
deck the brows of another; but human feel
ing and mental agony can never be barricades
IN the ruthless path of science. 1t is to
be extremely regretted that the Providence
savant omitted tho height of this southern
giant, but plain mathematical calculation
Will remedy this evil. South Sea Islanders,
owing to their missionary bill of fare are
usually rotund, so we can safely put this
mans circumference ut least at two-thirds of
his height. The result is startling but none the
| less true. A man nine miles tall and six
miles around is an impressive parsonage to
say the least, but the Gulliver of the Provi-
dence Journal regards him with the utmost
sang froid. The announcement that he
is uninhabitcd will doubtless cause
n bittor controversy among scientists.
An uninhabted South Sea Islander is as re-
markable as an uninhabited New York tene-
ment house, but we will leave that question
untouched. The manner in which this giant
could knock over several regiments Of Sulli-
vans and SHADES would be exhilarating in
| the extreme; but,while we are sorry he is not
among us TO utilize himself in such cleaning
out process, we are glad he is not here TO write
communications and visit the Office TO indg-
nantly ascertain why they were not published.
If he were here and docile he might be util-
lied for the Washington monument, but If he
were here and pugnacious-perish the
thought. But il might he remarked, infer
entially, that there are several thousand men
in this country who believe themselves con-
siderably "bigger" than the Caroline Island
