TOPICS OF THE DAY.

Whales milk is now recommended
for certain invalids by physicians. The
principal difficulty appears to be to
find al man who cares to undertake
the perilous task of milking the whale
1t is no wonder that foreigners be-
lieve that our western lands are still
given over to the unsophisticated
savage and the red-handed bandits
when we find such names as these on
the map of Dakota: Shirttail Bend,
Whiskey Flat, Puppytown, Wild Yam
kee Ranch, Loafer's Rayine, Squitch
Gulch, Toenail Lake.

Just at this time the baseball fever has
taken firm hold on all people, both old and
young, male and female, and the enthusiasm
exhibited over this popular game is immense
The fever has at length struck our boys and
eliminated in a match game on Saturday las,
between rival clubs of Port Tobacco and
PSmonkey, play I'd on the grounds of the latter
The Port Tobacco boys left this village with
only seven men, expecting to meet their other
two players in Pomonkey, rs they had promised
10 be present; but on reaching the grounds ii
was found that they had not put in an appear
ance, and nine was filed up rs best il could
commenced about a. o'clock, ard six full in
nings were played and portion of the seventh
when the game was stopped en- account of the
darkness, with the Port Tobacco boys in the
lead. Both clubs played well and the game
afforded much satisfaction to the friends of both
mines, and the enthusiasm that was exhibited
showed very plainly that base ball could be-
come very popular game with our people if
the proper interest was displayed by the
players. Notwithstanding the fact that Pomon-
key had a catcher from Washington and a
pitcher from Baltimore, our boys convinced
them that they were no match for Port Tobacco
These same clubs will play a return game on
the grounds near this village on Saturday the
29th instant, when Port Tobacco expects to
have her full nine in the field. The umpiring
of Mr.. Everett was impartial and gave general
to both Sides The following is
the score.

Work Of the Reeistrars.
The reports of the officers Of registration
shows that but little work was performed by
them at the September sitting which closed
last Saturday. The number OF newly REGISTERED
voters is very small in all the districts, and
the whole 10 not aggregate but 60 voters, and
all are not newly registered as some are trans-
terred to the districts and the officers made no
distinction between them and the new voters.
We cannot understand this unless it is because
September is busy month with farmers and
neither they nor their hands could find the
time to 60 to the registration officers and have
their names placed on the list. We know that
a much large number of voters than that re-
ported failed 10 register at the new registration
of last year, and we think that some measures
should be taken by Democrats in every district
to have those whom they know have thus far
failed to register, 10 60 to the officers at the
next sitting and become qualified voters, SO
that they may exercise that highest prorogative
of American citizenship-the right to cast a
ballot. The election this fall will be an i'm
partant one and every vote will be needed and
this important work should be attended to
without delay. In the matter Of transfers " .
presume the next registration will show large
increase. The following is list of the newly
registered voters in each district. LIST district

A month or two ago oyster shells were
taken by the cargo from Cris6rld, Nd, to bed
waters in Long Island Sound, on which to
plant oysters. A handful or two of these
shells have been recently taken up and brought
back to Cris6eld to show what the Northern
oystermen could do with them. The Cris6eld
Lea.er says the shells were literally covered
with embryo oysters. Ga one Of the shells
there were 40 oysters, and on another 20.
There is lesson in this experiment for Mary
land oyster farmers which should not be disre
garded.

Short Apple Crop.
From every appearance the apple crop
this season will be short one and lovers of
apples will not have their usual supply.
This however, is not the apple year, tut having
Il failure last year in the crop, many persons
looked for good crop this year. The fruit
blossomed we'll, but the cold wet weather of
the spring injured them, while the falling off Of
the young fruit has been greater than usual.
Next year is the regular apple year, and VI may
hope for a good crop then.

The Bone or Contention.

near at hand the candidates, who are so eager
Y seeking that bone Of contention-the sheriff

to represent their interests in the convention.
The tive most prominent candidates, Messrs.
Smoot and Adams, are working like beavers
among the "friend and brother to have "de
moshun seconded when their names are pro-
posed on the day of convention. From the
outside ripples of the surface we gather the fact
that the chances of these two candidates are
about even and they will enter the convention
neck and neck. 1t is said that the Court
House clique Of the party is somewhat divided
between Il csc two the right wing t,voring
Smoo,, while the left wing, feeling itself under
some obligation to MIR. Adams district Tor the

Mr.. Chappelear and We have AN idea that this
gentleman will hold TO his own in the hope Of

the convention cannot agree on either of the
others, but il is said By the knowing ones that
Mr.. Smoot will ultimately get both Of these
districts and the nomination. The present
sheriff desires to 60 step higher in political
preferment, and is seeking a nomination on the
legislative ticket. II he gets it he will have
an elegant opportunity for improving his
poker knowledge which will be of great advan-
,age to him during the long winter nights that

We understand that quantities of peaches
hare been canned at the canning factory during
the past few weeks. They are delivered in
considerable quantities from different sections
of the county, the price paid for them being
from 75cts to l,25 per bushel according to
quality. They pay well at these figures, and
the establishment of these canning factories
will give IL healthy impetus to fruit culture in
however, accounts for the fact of there having
been no peaches offered for sale in this village
for some time past. When the fruit first
ripened any quantity were brought here for
sale, but since the cannery has been buying

A Close Shave In Warrington County.
Democratic primaries held in Washington
county Saturday resulted in favor of Gov. VIM.
T. Hamilton, after one of the most desperate
conflicts ever held in the county. In six dis
tricts there were no contest. Of the fourteen
other district in which there were contests,
the Hamilton men were successful in seven aud
the anti-Hamiton men carried seven. Of the
the districts carried for Hamilton, Hancock
was by two majority, Conococheague BY ten
and Chewsville by two. A change of eight
votes distributed between these districts would
have tied the county. Gov. Hamilton has
been working hard for some weeks, and the
result is due to his untiring efforts. His
friends here are not overly pleased with the
showing, not anticipating SO strong an opposi-
ton in the Governors home county.
The September Sky.
The heavens above will present a brilliant
spectacle to the earth below during the month
ofSeptember. Venus reaches superior conjunc-
ton, the preparatory step that will make her
the peerless starry gem of the evening sky in
the near future. Uranus arrives at conjunction
and joins the whole array of outer planets now
congregated on the suns western side as morn
ing stars. Saturn is in quadrature and will
soon come beaming above the horizon in the
early evening. Mars contributes to the show be
his conjunction with the star Delta Geminorum.
Mercury appears for short season in the glow
ing west, bis last evening exhibition for the
year. Jupiter foreshadows the supremacy OF
his later reign. Our nearest celestial neighbor,
the moon, takes on her loveliest phase, that OF
the Harvest Moon. Even the great sun himself
adds to the attrac lions of the month in bis
charming aspect at autumnal equinox, when in
harmonious equipoise be illumines tie earth
from pole to pole and day and night balance
cash other in the celestial cales.-Propidence

Some excitement was created in Pomon-
key neighborhood last week by the information
that Francis Butler, = colored farmer of that
neighborhood, has suddenly and some That
ciandestinly taken his departure for parts IN
known. Butler went to Washington on Sun
day before last carrying some fat cattle. He
failed to return after several days, and upon
inquiry by some of his neighbors TO whom
he was indebted, it was ascertained that he had
clandestinly conveyed bis horses and other
effects to Washington by land, and after max
ing sale of all of them in that city, had left for
parts unknown. 1t il not definitely ksown
where be went too, but it is rumored that he
went to some portion Of Pennsylvania. Butler
was an industrious and highly respected null
atto and his neighbors who had placed every
confidence in his integrity and believed him to
be pretty well to do are greatly surprised at his
conduct. 1t turns out that he is pretty large
ly indebted to several of his neighbors, among
them Mr. B. D. Tubman his former landlord,
who, trusting in his honest professions and
industrious habits, had credited him extensive
ly. Most Of the property he carried away was
conveyed by bill OF sale to Mr.. Tubman 10

Needed Leg islation
The Centreville Observer says: 'Among
the things which the Legislature of this State
will be expected to take action upon, is a bill
providing for an analysis of all fertilizers
offered fer sale in this State. Already some Of
the States have laws of this character, and they
are said to be very successfully and satisfactor-
lily administered. All farmers are not chemists;
indeed, but few Of them know anything about
the science, nor are they able to Judge good
phosphate from q bad one except by practical
test. This may prove disastrous to them, and
er tail not only the loss Of a crop that nigh,
have been made but the loss of who's year Of
labor. In this helpless condition they may be
seriously damaged, and it is essential that the
protection of the State should be thro w
around its most inn ortant industry, in order
that the possibility of disaster to the crops
ruin to the farmers and consequent depression
of the real estate market may be prevented
Honorable dealers iu fertilizers all over th.
State are willing, indeed anxious, for the enact
ment of such q law, because it would rid th.
trade Of the Indifferent stuff that is sometimes
palmed of on unsuspecting farmers for standard
goods, and thus honorable dealers vsuld b,
relieved of a competition at once dishonest ant
unprincipled. All interests would be bene6tet
by such a law fairly administered, and all in
terests call loudly for its enactment. W.
at the last session of the Legislature, but failet
to pass, for what reason we do not know.
