The First Insurance Money Paid.

II. Il. Burkhart was the first man to
get his insurance money for loss by
the recent fire. George Grant, special
agent for the North British and Mer-
camille Insurance Company, called on
Mr.. Burkhart; the latter made out a
statement of loss to which he at
tached his affidavit, and Mr.. Grant
thereupon drew check for the money.
All this was done in a few minutes.

Cheap MARYLAND Lands.

We notice by the sales of land reported on
the Eastern Shore of this state, that Cana
dams, New Workers and Pennsylvanians, are
still pouring into that section of Maryland,
where the lands are cheap and easily titled,
the climate mild, the roads good, and the best
markets accessible by railroad and water
transportation. Among the sales we mention,
near Ridgely, Caroline county, ITO acres, to
A. R. Brigden, Cayuga county, N. Y, at $50
per acre, cash SO acres, to John Winans, OF
Pennsylvania, for $40 cash; Isl acres, to
Henry Bell, of Seaford, Del, for 50, 800 cash;
1877 acres, to Smith Good, of Canada, for 3d.
600; 315 acres to Theodore Ernst, of Coopers-
town, N. Y, for Sc, 900; $50 acres to Israel
Kline, for Sc, $50. Why go West, when bar
gains like these, all within a short distance OF
railroad stations and convenient to water
transportation arc within the reach of all
While Marylanders are going West, North
ern men are coming into Maryland, buying
up her cheap lands and settling themselves
in comfortable and desirable homes.

The veteran of the Maryland Republican
suggests, in view of the seeming imposslblhty
of reconciling the graybeards of the Demo
cratic party, that the young democracy should
have an opportunity to prove its knighthood,
and that the elders retire. He also invokes
the aid of the rural Democratic press to take
up the theme and agitate it continuously until
impending danger has passed. We start the
query-whether there is not danger, by this
continuous agitation, of tanning the shoulder
ing embers into flame. Will not the last
spark of dissension die out, unless kept alive
by newspaper agitation, and by supplying
more fuel? If the suggestion had been for
neu men at the front, without regard to age,
then we could have more thoroughly con-
Cured in the suggestion. New men and good
men should be called to the front, while the
old chronic grumblers and malcontents should
be relegated to that privacy from which they
never should have emerged. If this hint be
acted upon, if this resolve be fixed in the mind
of the party, there will be no need of contin-
uous newspaper agitation, discord will cease
and harmony return, and victory will perch
upon our banners again in November as it has
done since 1867. We don't think the danger
is so threatening as the veteran of the Repub-
Ecal intimates. Eighty-four is too near at
hand, and the old Democratic watch fires are
too easily rekindled to be extinguished thus
We fear our venerable friend is becoming
somewhat of pessmist. When the Demo
Gratis of the state again meet in council let
them say to the waves offaction-"Peace, be
STILL" and all will be well.

On January l, 1884, 1926, $50 Of Mary
lands debt-the Defense Loan-becomes due.
This debt bears six per cent. interest, and the
Legislature authorized the refunding of 3d.
600, 900 of it at 3.65 per cent. interest, giving
preference to present holders to exchange old
for new bonds, The states finance officers
advertised last fall for proposals, and only a
small amount was offered for exchange, and
others offered to take the whole So, 900, 900 in
bonds at premium. Holders now say they did
not exactly understand the advertisement OF
the states officers, and objected also to the
reservation to reject any and all proposals
What will be done has not TRANSFERRED, but 1t
is certain that the state will be successful IN
selling its bonds at premium. After the old
bonds are in and the new ones given IN ex-
change, the state will save 500, 1886 in interest
annually.

Comptroller Heating, in his report to the
Governor, which is published in this issue,
speaks of the large amount of uncollected
taxes, and says ''it would be a great help to
the revenues of the state, if some improved
plan for the prompt payment of these taxes to
the state were adopted" The amount un.
collected is 1926, 587.63, but much of this the
state will never get, and some steps should be
taken to ascertain what is good and drop the
balance from the books. In regard to an i'm
proved plan of collecting, we would direct
the Comptroller to the French system. That
system, we believe, provides for division OF
the taxes into monthly installments. This
makes the payment easy and scarcely felt.
There are many persons to whom the pay
meut of ten or twelve dollars at one time is
q serious inconvenience, but if the amount
were divided into twelve or even six payments,
it could and would be paid without murmur.

The Boston Journal of Wednesday says !:
"The loss of water power is serious, and there
is much domestic distress. In Manchester,
N. H., some 1000 operatives are idle on ac-
count of the mills being obliged to shut down.
The lumbermen of Maine suffer severely, the
product of the saw-mills being reduced by
some 100000 feet. The rivers of Maine
are lower than for half a century, and the
losses on account of suspended operations
reach many thousand dollars. The mills on
the Penobscot lose over 100000. The es-
Establishments off the Kennebec, Androscog-
gin and Saco are likewise crippled Farmers
and householders are greatly inconvenienced.
In southeastern Maine hundreds of persons
must use snow-water, and cattle are driven
miles to ponds and brooks. The Merrimac is
lower than ever before in the history of its
manufactures. The great mills at Nashua,
Great Falls and Manchester are one half to
two thirds time, and losses to employers and
emnloved are enormous

VIENNA, Jan. 10.-The town Raab, Hun
gary, and the adjacent villages, had been only
saved from inundation thus far by the frost.
When the thaw commenced, the water sud
denly rose all over the district. AT A. NJ.
yesterday the inhabitants were aroused by
alarm bells, and began rapid flight. Large
numbers of the fugitives crowded into a solid
ly built theatre. which stands on an island in
the midst of the Park; but here new panic
arose, the water gradually rising as far as the
first gallery. Meanwhile around Raab, the
dykes breaking, at length admitted the deluge,
which soon reached the inner town, contain
ing 5000 fugitives, as well as the ordinary in
habitants. A considerable number of lives
were lost but fortunately the flood did not
reach some of the higher parts of the town,
and ceased to rise at noon. The inhabitants
abandoned the town. The floods rose so
rapidly that many persons, in trying to escape,
fell through the ice and were drowned.
The city of Grau, on the Danube, the seat
of the Hungarian Primate, is also menaced by
floods. The inundation in the neighborhood
of the town of Comorn, at the confluence of
the Waag with the Danube, are also extern
sive.
PEsTH, Jan. lot is officially reported
that 10000 persons are now homeless, and
that between 300 and 400 houses are inundat-
ed and partially destroyed.

Rev. John G. Morris delivered lecture in
Baltimore last week on "Little Known Facts
About Well Known Animals" In the course
of his lecture Mr.. Morris said the fact that our
oyster and that of Great Britain are different
species was unknown until discovered SIX
months ago by DR.. W. K. Brooks, of the
Johns Hopkins University. The Chesapeake
bay oysters are male and female, while the
English are hermaphrodites. The milk of the
oyster is crowded with infnitessimal eggs, and
if one-half of them came to perfection the
Chesapeake bay would not hold them.

The tariff bill which was discussed in the
Senate this week will make reduction of
$34, 100, 1924 in the internal revenue and of
S45, 049, 900 in the tariff, if it becomes law
in its present form. The bill limits the in
ternal revenue tax to spirits, beer and tobac-
co. The bill is not satisfactory, nor does it
meet the demands of the people, but it is
probably the best that this Congress will pass,
if any such bill is passed at all.
