were S1l 1913 an increase OF ST.
O23, 1863 over 1882. For these roads
the expenses were Sc, 147, 655, or 53.OS
per cent. of the gross earnings; on
the Main Stem, with all branches and
divisions, $3.50 per cent. The sur
plus fund. which represents invested
capital derived from net earnings,
and which is not represented by stock
or bonds, was increased during the
year by 81 $50 50, and now amounts
to S45, 1853, 479. The Washington
Branch earned S346, sos. a decrease of
1851 compared with 1882, but by
reason of a decrease of expenditures
there was an increase of 1894 in net
earnings. Taken in connection with
the fact that the Baltimore and Po-
tomac shows an increase of S1S0,77S
in its NET earnings for the preceding
fiscal year, this slight increase of not
earnings in the Washington Branch
is shown to be due to "imperfect con-
nections of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company for Philadelphia and
New York business to and from the
Washington Branch and the Main
Stem of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road Company" But upon the COM
pletion of the Philadelphia extention

The Political Future.

The general effect of the recent
elections has been a subject of con-
graduation to Republicans. The
apathy, which for while seemed to
rest upon them, has been driven
away in the States that are of para
mount Importance in a national con.
test. The tidal wave of dissatisfac-
ton has exhausted itself. Where
bossism had injured the prospects OF
the party. it has been so rebuked
that healthier condition of the par
ty has been produced. There il a
disposition to let the leaders alone
and to base party nominations and
party plans upon the wishes and
choice Of the people themselves. All
this prepares the way for the cam
paign of 1884, by removing Oh uc-
tions that would have nec6 lily
crippled and destroyed efficien TX.
What Is to be done now is the cul-
tivation of an earnest advocacy OF
the party principles, and a due SUBJ
ordination of the advocacy of men to
the success of these. Where party
characterization has arisen, there
must be established once more conf
dence and trust. The skies are
Frightening, the clouds are disap.
pearing under the vigorous rays
truth. All that is needed is rally
ing of the clans to the old standard
and careful study of the whole field
in the selection of leaders. Victory
ought to be ours in 1884, and if we
lose it the blame can only rest upor
ourselves.-Frederick Examiner.

The Dream OF Youth.

The dreams we so fondly Logged in
early life may just as quickly pass
away and leave nothing but scared
and desolate path behind. The proud
hopes which spring untidden in the
human heart, may die and fall as fell

uments IF beauty and art which have
been reared by mans creative genius
may crumble and turn to dust, but

be acknowledged to be the greatest
ofall medicines, and will still receive
the praise which so rightly belongs to
it. Thousands have received benefits
from it, and have shown their appre.
citation of it by their testimonials to
that effect. Ask your druggist for

For Young Ladies Only.

Notwithstanding the fact that
young men are continually lectured,
are not the only cause of earthly mis-
cry. To be sure they sometimes give
the moral peace of the family a twist,
but the young ladies very often give
the moral peace shaking up. Par.
ents are. to certain extent, as much
to blame for this state of affairs as
their children. They do not teach
them, especially the girls, to cult
vate spirit of self-relianee and indie
pendence. They don't teach them
what it means to be thrown on their
own resources, and what it is to earn
an honest living. If there is any,
thing in this world that is to be pit
Jed it is a houseplant of woman.
She is of no earthly good. Too great
number of young women are
brought up to believe that they are
to be taken care of all their lives. Not
three in eight of the young women
in this country are taught to make a
good wholesome batch of bread, to
keep the house tidy, to cut, fit and
make dress, but nearly all of them
can sing little, play the piano lit
tie and those who can't paint pic
lures can their cheeks, so this includes
painting. But the happiest moments
of their lives are when they are eat
ing sweatmeats purchased with some
foolish young mans money. Too
many aspire to nothing greater than
spending money and looking sweet.
The latter part of their ambition re-
quires hours of patient study and a
free use of paint and powder to &C.
complish. and then many fail. hut
don't know it. There may be some
qualification in this, that some young
man is getting terribly fooled!
There are, however. many sensi-
BILE young women in the country.
Women who have common sense
mothers, mothers who know and ap-
preciate the duties of women. Who
teach their daughters self-reliance and
independence, thus giving to them
that which is far more valuable than
gold and putting them in positions
to meet any emergency. We know
not what the morrow may have in
store. Riches and all worldly pos
sessions may vanish, but with true
independence to fall back on the
young woman is fully prepared to
meet it and not drift to the bad or
give up, discouraged. Young woman,
you who have never thought of these
things, remember that the true man
more highly values the friendship of
a woman of self-reliance and indie
pendence than the butterfly of fash
ion. The neat, tidy, refined and in
telligent woman draws the prize
every time. To be self-reliant and
posted on things of benefit to you
through life. does not cut off, but adds
to passing pleasures. Think of these
points and look about you for the ev-
| idence.

Ancient Maryland Documents.

At the last session of the Legisla'
ture an Act was passed making the
Maryland Historical Society the GUS
todian of all records, archives and
other documents of the province and
State of Maryland, prior to the &C.
acknowledgement of the independence
ofthe United States by Great Britain.
It was provided that the society
should arrange ar catalogue the
same. and publish such as are of his
torical importance. An appropria-
ton was also made of two thousand
dollars to aid in the work of proper
~ arranging, editing and publishing
such documents. In accordance with
the requirements of this act the So
ciety caused to be constructed a first
class fire proof vault, into which the
ancient documents thus secured were
placed. The arrangement was made
under the direction of committee
consisting of J. w. M. Lee, Henry
Stockbridge and Bradley T. johnson.
This committee secured the services
of VIM. H. Browne, of Johns Hop
kins University, as Editor. The re-
suit of their labors has been the prep
aration and printing of quarto vol
ume of more than six hundred pages,
containing an accurate transcript of
the laws passed in the Province up
to 1910, except those of 1634-5 and
1878, six acts of 1918, and those of
1659-60. These are carefully edited
with proper marginal and other notes
and suitable index. At the presen-
tation of this volume, few evenings
since, to the Historical Society by
the committee, President Gilman
said:
"The very foundations of Maryland
history are henceforth accessible to
every citizen. The magistrate, the
statesman, the historian, the teacher
may learn more in days eXamina-
ton of this volume than he could
otherwise by months of investiga-
tion."
This first volume ofthe early Mary.
land records will, we presume, be Of
fered to the public, at cost price, and
there will be induce the Legislature
TO still further encourage the Society
in its gratuitous labors to preserve
the annals of Maryland.

OUR NEW YORK LETTER.
JUNIUs.

from our Regular Correspondent
NEW YORK, November %, 1883.
The Speakership question is grow
ing in heat. Nobody seems to be
clear as to what the result of the fight
between Carlisle, Randall and Cox
will be, but the general opinion of
observing politicians seems to be that
Carlisle will be the winner. His
friends, and he himself as we'll, have
been working desperately and with
such success that Randall who has all
along maintained show ofeasy con-
fidence is now seriously alarmed, and
is endeavoring to squirt just before
the finish. Cox's chances, it is gen.
orally admitted, are reduced to mere
possibility. Should the fight between
Randall and Carlisle become close
and non-compromising one, he will
be the compromise candidate, and al
though he has fondness for a joke
he will make good speaker. Take
him all in all, he is as bright, talent
ed and able man as the Democratic
party has got.
The work of recognizing the Re-
publican party of this city goes on
famously. The enrollments on the
lists ia the various Assembly dis.
tricts are heavy, and it is to be noted
that of the nameSentered a majority
are those of Representative people in
each district. All that is needed to
be admitted of these district organi-
cations is that a man declares his
readiness to vote for the Republican
ticket, and to state how he has voted
since the last Presidential election.
The committee in charge do not re-
commend the dissolution of existing
political organizations, but as their
powers and influence have been taken
away, they advise their maintenance
as pOlitico-social clubs. No member
is bound to SlaYish submission to
party edicts and selections. but as the
primaries will be free and open every
body will have chance in the DELHI
erations, and therefore can honestly
adhere to the decision of the MAORI
ity and work for it with might and
main.
The snarl among the Democrats in
this city meanwhile continues with
undated yigor. There has been a
temporary peace between the rival
factions of the County Democracy and
Tammany Hall on account ofthe pro-
longed illness of John Kelly, but as
he will be about soon, the fight will
be in full fare by the time the organ
ization of the new Board of Alder
men will be discussed.
The Women Suffragists failed to
show much influence at the last cleo
ton, yet still they maintain that they
helped to defeat several unpopular
candidates. They are out with a cir
cular which recounts their valorous
deeds, and express great exultation
over the progress they have made.

native of Scotland and for many wears
served in the household of the Queen,
being constantly in attendance upon her.
not only in London, but upon all her Jour

Queens estimation and his real or assumed
influence over her caused him to be regard
ed with jealousy and distrust by many per-
sons of high rank in the kingdom and a
large portion Of the general public 1t is
probable that no other man of his position
ever occupied SO large share of public
attention and criticism in England. Brown,
however, seems to have been faithful SER

where he proved his devotion not only to
the Queen but to her children, at imminent
personal risk. To the end of his life the
Queen retained her trustin his integrity
and faithfulness. Brown had acquired q
large fortune and is reported to have been
worth as much as e 100000. In person he

The AMERICAN. DOLLAR MARK.-There
area number of theories for the origin OF
the American dollar mark. One is
that it is a combination of U. s., the
initials for the United States; an
other that it is a modification of the
figure 5, the dollar being formerly called "a
piece of eight" and designated by the char
acter SIS. The third theory is that it is a
combination of H. S., the mark of the Ro-
man unit while a fourth is that it is a com
bination of P. and S. from the Spanish peso
duro, which signifies hard dollar In
Spanish accounts peso is contracted BY writ
ing the S. over the ?. and placing it after the
sum. But the best explanation is that sit is
taken from the Spanish dollar, and the sign
is to be found, of course, in the associations
of the Spanish dollar. On the reverse of the
coin is representation of the pillars of
Hercules, and round each pillar is scroll
with inscription, Plus Ultra This device
in course of time has degenerated into
the sign which stands at present for the
American as we'll as Spanish dollars.
The scroll around the pillars represents the
two serpents sent by Juno to DESTROY
Hercules in his cradle"

the opinion, quotes the opinion of Mr.. Evarts

case, and that under the provisions of law
the awards could not be reopened bv sus-
