ing list Of our local somebodies ap-
pears with the valuable and interest
ing information, ard the fashionable
world searches the list with eager and
delighted eyes. Reporters are kept
busy picking up such precious items,
despite the malicious insinuations Of
the envious that through the thought
fulness, modesty and spirit Of accom-
mediation of such eminent personages
they are saved much trouble by such

In the first place, it gives the city and
tile world some idea OF the imposing
number of illustrious people living
within our borders. In the second
place, it is a most valuable practice,
in that it enables the public to keep
trace Of its great people. In the
third place, it exhibits to US the heroic
in human nature. 1t shows us how
valiantly citizen with the eyes of
his country upon him will march up
to the shuck mattresses and yavning
bed-bugs Of the summer resort and
defy dyspepsia for the sake of society.
The daring displayed by some of

two republicans and one demo-
crat, were registered at Deer Park a

Fulton, of the Baltimore american
will probably have the effect settling
the most serious of the feuds which
have divided republicans there"
"Gen. Agnus," he said "who succeeds
him (Fultop,) has every inclination
to see these differences buried forever

this result. AS for the balance Of
the State the republicans are in good
