BULL DOG.

What's in name That which we call a rose
BY any other name would smell as sweet.
So Bull Dog might have been as choice
II christened something more psthetic--
Bat the wise chewers know they cannot find
By any other name choice a chew,
Nothing in which the purcst sweet doth blend
With the most layory leaf, which is alone
Produced in its perfection from Kentucky soil;
There, kindly nurtured in the balmy air
And nightly moistened by the falling dew,
Maturity is reached. and so, perfection;
| Meath the genial sun of the old commonwealth
The golden leaf gives forth fragrance;
Hath q rarer, richer flavor than is given.
| To the SBme plant on other ground
Yet, culled with care, and skiilfully assorted,
The choicest only Of the perfect leaves
| Become part of that royal chew
Which in high favor held is known as Bull Dog
| And the name, which to another seems incongru
Gus,
| Hath to the chewer now become a synonym
| For the most delicious chews which ever yet
| Gave solace to the world of chcwers--

We have to call attention to the an
nual report Of the President and Direc-
tors of the Maryland Penitentiary. We
think word of commentator is due
Gen. Horn, the present warden of the
Penitentiary and chief execution officer,
for the prosperous financial condition as
shown oy his report, as well as for the
healthy condition of the affairs of the in
stitution generally. Notwithstanding the
increased cost of provisions during the
year and the decreased number eliminates
thus lessening the working force from
which the revenues of the Penitentiary
are derived, the report shows a surplus
of 81, 667 33 on hand after payiag all
expenses We must congratulate our
selves, however, as people, upon the
fact that although the decreased number
of inmates in the Pcnitentiary during
the past year has decreased its revenue
thirty FIVE less criminals argues some
thing for our improved morals
