The Democratic Primary Meetings.

We earnestly hope there will be full at
tendance at the Democratic primary meet
ings, to be held at the various voting pre-
cincts on Saturday May 19th, at 2 o'clock,
p. NJ. The County Convention will meet at
Bel Air, on Tuesday, the 18th, at p. NJ
The plan recommended by the Executive
Committee of voting for delegates in each
precinct instead of the old method of voting
by districts will commend itself to the party
as a salutary change. 1t will, we believe, not
only secure more general representation of
each neighborhood, but the attenda nee in the
convention ofthc best mcnfrom each precinct.
Precinct pride will, we doubt not, lead Dem.
ocrats To select men of intelligence, good
judgment and good character TO represent
them.
The object for which these primary meet
ings and conventions are called is definitely
stated by the Executive Committee, and is
to consult as TO the best interests of the par
ty and particularly as to the best mode by
which candidates may be selected who will
command the respect of the whole party. Our
ic Reorganization to carry Hartford county
next fall, and are doing all in their power to
create discussion in our ranks Democrats
should therefore determine TO withstand
firmly every appeal to passion or prejudice
and consider carefully how suitable ticket
can be nominated next fall The nomination
of a good ticket will unite and harmonize the
party aud sweeping Democratic victory
will be the result We cannot hope TO
achieve and will not deserve success if we
nominate incapable or untrustworthy men,
The character of the men composing the
ticket is of vastly more importance than the
mode by which they may be nominated
Whatever the result of the convention may
be. it will be the authoritative expression of
the party, and every Democrat should resolve
TO cordially sustain its decision

A STRUGGLE FOR LIFE.-As already stated in
the Sun the body of Lewis Jeffries, who was
drowned in the Chesapeake bay with Cecil N
night of the 18th April, was found near Red
Point, some days ago. The body was consider
ably decomposed. 1t is believed now that Cecil
Whitaker gave Jeffries his watch-which was
found on Jeffries' person-and told him TO take
one OF the boat masts and endeavor to swim to
the shore for assistance, Whitaker hoping to re-
main on the boat until help should reach him.
and in case he persisted that Jeffries could take
the watch TO his family. 1t is now clearly
established that VIM. Askins, a colored man,
was the fourth man in the boat. His body has
not yet been recovered

Death has torn asunder the dearest earthly tie
April 18th death visited little home and call

grief and pain are felt and feared no more He
had been sufferer for over Two years. during the
whole of our married life. The last twenty-four

There is voice shall hear no more
There are tones whose music for me is DER
Sweet rs the odors of spring We're they,
Precious and rch-but they died away
They caiAe like peace to my heart and ear
Never again will they murmur here:
They have gone like the blush of summer MORN
Like the crimson cloud through the sunset born
Alas for the clod that is resting now
On those sumbering eyes-on that faded brow:
Wo for the cheek that hath ceased to bloom,
For the lips that are dumb in the noseless tomb :
Their melody broken-ther fragrance gone-
Their aspect cold as the Parian stone
Alas for the hopes that with thee have died
Oh, loved one, would were by thy sidc
Yet the joy of grief it is mine to hear;
| hear thy voice in the twilight air;
Thy smiles OF trueness untold see,
When the visions of evening are born to me-
Thy kiss on my dreaming lip is warm
My arm embraceth thy yielding form
Then wake in world that is sad and drear,
To feel in my bosom thou art not here,
Now thou art laid in that voiceess hall,
Where my budding raptures have persisted a H.
In that tranquil and holy place of rest
where the earth lies damp on that snlesS breast
Thy bright locks all in the vault are hid,
Thy brow is concealed by the cofiin-id
All that was lovely to me is there,
Mournful is life and a load to bear

Gen. Green b Raum commissioner Of in
ternal revenue, has resigned his position and
intends to practice law in Washington
Gen. Raum has often been accused of using
his official position to promote the political
fortunes of his friends and to help his party,
but the fact is noted as remar kable in these
days that he faithfully and honestly collected
the revenues and turned them into the trea-
sury. Within three hours after Gen Raum's
resignation had been accepted the President
had ixapplications from cx members of Con-
gress for the position, and since nearly fifty
more have applied for the position.

the laughable farce entitled "Cabman No.

during the next season, with q series similar to
those already given, and If possible, of yet high
standard.

years, drank coffee with milk in it. The milk
had been kept in pantry, adjoining the dining
room. When Mrs. Street, poured out the milk,
at the breakfast table, she noticed it had yell
lowish appearance, but supposing the color was
owing to the fact that the cows had been eating
grass, she thought nothing of 1t. After break
fast the members of the family separated and
went about their work. In short time Mr..
Lindsay, who had remained in the house, was
taken violently ill., Mrs. Street, went out into

the milk contained arsenic, but how 1t got there
is mystery. The remainder of the milk was
