How TO VoTE THIS FALL.-We are
sure that nothing we can say on this
important subject can convey more
sound, wholesome advice than is con-
tanned in the following article, which
we find in the National Farm and
Fsreside. It truthfnlly says that "no
more important election was ever nor
viii ever. be held in Maryland, than
that to be held his fall. 1t is pecu-
liarly important from the fact that
next year a President of the United
States Is to be chosen for four years,
from the 4th of March, 1885. Every
voter in Maryland who wishes to con-
tinue the Federal Government in the
control of Radicalism, and perpetuate
the administration Of the past twenty
odd years, viii vote the Republican
ticket in November; all persons in
this State who favor the rape Of the
Presidency in 1876 will do likewise !;
all persons who believe that corpora
tions are the Government, all persons
who feel that they are the cats paws
of capital end bosses, all persons who
believe that laborer is not worthy
of his hire, all farmers who believe
that they are not interested in having
a popular and free government and all
merchanics. who believe that their
inventive genius belongs to their en-
ployers viii 90 to the polls and vote
against the Democratic nominees, in
order to establish forever and a day
Republican control Of public affairs in
this country by destroying the chances
of the National Democratic party in
1884. AS you make your bed. so
shall You lie. We ask our farmers,
who believe in rotating their crops,
to vote as they SOW. Our opinion is
that another four years Of Republican
control Of the Federal Government
viii 80 firmly establish corporations
In the power Of the Government that
it will be next to impossible there
after TO break their hold upon the
rights end liberties Of the people.
This Is no child's play; it il serious
and dangerous, and no one should
hesitate to vote to put an honest
Democratic President in the White
House in 1884, and the way 10 ac-
complish that is to vote to multiply
the Democratic victories Of 1882 in
the fall Of 1888.

PREPARE WINTER CLOTHING Now.
Sudden changes of temperature says
the ADseT1can AgricultuTist, and cold,

to meet them promptly. Strong,
vigorous persons, in full blood, may
resist a fall Of twenty or thirty de-

to 400 or 30o, before the system is in

December and January. So, good
warm undera and outer clothing should
be at hand for instant use when an
unexpected northerly blast comes. A

ordered. Tailors and seamstresses. II

A WoRD ABour CARvrNG.-Tk i
not alone the fact that the amateur
carver misses the joints and tries TO
cut through the largest bones, that
hll him with regret and bis lap full
OF sage and onions, It Is the horrible
thought that the entire company ID
looking at him.
No matter how the perspiration
may trickle down between his shoul-
der blades. or how the hot flashes NAV
chase the chill up and down his spinal
column. or how much his eyes NAV
Be dimmed BY unshed tears, the rest
OF the company never allows It's in
terest 70 hag . moment.
We remember one time we were
On ii assume the management az
- earving so1snssasnk al
he home Of . dove-syed dumpling
whose kind regard we sdesired to
catch on to as fast a. possible.
How clearly comes back to us now
the smiling faces Of the guests, the
ripping laughter, the bald-headed
joke, the thanksgiving conundrum,
and all went merry as q marriage bell.
We call to mind the girlish laugh
ter of that one whose very existence,
as she sat at our left that day, SEEM
ed cemented and glued to our own.
Aswe sharpened the glittering blade
on the ringing steel, we feel buoyant
and proud. Proud to think how we
could slice the white, calm bosom of
that deceased hen. Proud to think
how, in our mind. we had laid out the
different pregnable points about the
old cackler, and in the anticipation
Of applause, glad and free, when we
had accomplished the warfare, and
victory and stufing had perched upon
our banner
We softly jabbed the shining fork
astradle Of the breast-bone, tore off q
few goose pimples from under the
wings Of the late lamented, gouged
out few shattered fragments from
the neck, and to cut q sirioin steak off
the back.
An oppressive gloom seemed TO per-
wade the air. The old hen didn't
have her joints where we had them
laid out in our mind. She was de-
formed. She seemed to be freak of
nature.
1t ratified and unnervsd us.
We gouged wildly ut the remains,
squirting the gravy right and left,
and filling the air with fragments OF
bread crumbs and sage.
By some kind Of omission or mis-
calculation. we made a wild stab at
the back of the late lamented hen,
and with frenzy born of repeated
defeats and depressing failures, the
knife struck the platter with a crash,
and ceasing not in its untamed fury,
glanced aside, and in an instant buried
itself, with sickening thud, in the
corset of the hired girl.
With difficulty, we drew out the
glittering blade, now ensanguined with
the gore of fellow creature, wiped
it on the table cloth, and fed. Out
into the cold unsympathetic world,
out into the crash and confusion Of
struggling humanity to battle on
through life under an assumed name.
That is why we trembie and turn
pale when our past life is inquired in
to by biographers. That is why a
baked fowl makes us quail.
That Is why we always sign our
nom de plume to a promissory note.
That, too, is why we always travel
incog, and without baggage.-BAl

MADE A KLEPToMAHIAc BY A Prs
Toll BALL.-Gov. Blackburn, of Ken
tucky. tells of young man who was
wounded in the head by a pistol ball.
After he had apparently recovered hs
robbed q store Of a lot of stuff that
was Of no value to him, loaded it into
a wagon, and hauled it into the woods,
where he concealed the whole prop
erty. He was sent to the penitenti-
airy. He served his time out, and,
going home, broke into the same store,
taking the same class of goods, which
he loaded into the buggy he had run
off with before, and concealed the
things in the place he had selected on
the occasion Of his first ofFense. Once
more he was sent to the penitentiary,
and had nearly completed his second
term, when the prison doctor gave it
as his opinion that the bullet which
had struck the young mans head in
dented the skull sufficiently to press
on the brain and that this was the
reason that he committed the burgla-
ries. So the prisoner was sent home.
He lost no time in loading up the
old buggy again, precisely as before,
and was returned to the penitentiary.
II then said that / was going to tre-
pan that fellows head If it killed
him" says the Governor, who is q
physician, and did it successfully.
Then pardoned the young man. He
behaved himself like a perfect gem
tleman, sir, and never made the
slightest attempt to steal even pin. /"

THE APPROACHING CoMET.-The
extraordinary conduct of the ap-
preaching comet, which has suddenly
increased to fifteen times its former
brightness, besides undergoing re-
markable changes of form, greatly
puzzles the astronomers. Prof. Young
has recently shown how astronomical
collisions may occur, and If other hy-
potheses fail to account for the phe-
nomena Of the comet, it may be sug-
gested that possibly it has run into
some other wanderer in space. The
sudden increase in brightness, follow
ed by an equally remarkable expan-
sion of bulk, which the comet has ex-
hibited, are just the appearances
which would be expected TO follow q
violent collision Of cosmicai bodies.
There seems now to be no doubt
that this comet Is really the comet oi
1872 returning, and it is, therefore,
Of interest for other things besides
its present singular conduct. It has
what may be called a sister comet,
which was seen in 1916, and which
has an orbit strikingly resembling its
own. On account Of this resemblance,
Prof. KirkwoOd. adopting the hypoth-
esis that there are systems Of comets
in space whose members occasionally
fall within the attraction Of the sun
as it advances through the universe.
suggested that the comet Of 1872 and
that Of 1916 probably belonged to one
Of these systems before entering the
solar system, and that they were both
made prisoners TO the sun by his from
tier picket planet Neptune.

n0- Every political sign indicates
the defeat of the Republicans at the
Presidential election in 1884. Since
1860, there has not been 80 cheerful
a prospect for the Democrats. That
the Republican party will 90 cut in
1884, is almost assured.
There are thirty eight States in the
Union. Twenty-Five have Democrat
ic governors, twelve have Republican
governors and Virginia has Malone.
OF the old free States, California,
Colorado, Connecticut. Kansas, Mas
sachusetts, Nevada, Michigan, New
Jersey. New York and Pennsylvania
have Democratic governors; Illinois
Las not elected governor for four
years, bat in 1882 when the last cleo
tion was held, a Democratic school
superintendent was chosen in Illinois.
In 1882, Indiana. which then had .
Republican governor, went Democrat
ic for secretary of State by 1864
majority, and the delegation in Con-
gress was changed the same year, eight
Republicans and FIVE Democrats, to
nine Democrats and four Republicans.
In 1882, the Democrats carried Ohio
by 1915 majority, but q governor
was not elected that year, and the
Congressional representation was
changed from fifteen Republicans and
FIVE Democrats to fifteen Democrats
and FIVE Republicans. In 1882 gov
ernor was not elected in Wisconsin,
but there was an election for State
officers, and the Democrats carried
the State by 1900 majority, and
changed the Congressional represen-
tation from six Republicans and two
Democrats to six Democrats and three
Republicans.
