Decided Difference In Temperature.

Wednesday of this week tho Baltimore and
Ohio resumes its Luray trips, fact which
will be welcomed most heartily by very many
people. By going out of the old rut to so de-
cided an extent and providing day trips, su-
perior by far to anything of the kind ever
before offered, the Baltimore and Ohio has
Caught on big" as the saying goes. The
character of residents participating is a
noticeable feature, leading society people
coming together and going in parties, very
much to tho delight of all constituting them.
The fact that the temperature within the
caverns never gets lower than SO degrees or
higher than 81 renders the visit most enjoya-
BILE even in anticipation. TO contrast four
hours of such an existence with the same
period under sun that sends the mercury
out Of sight, is to proceed straightway to the
nearest Baltimore and Ohio ticket office and
secure seats for Wednesdays trip. The ride
itself is an escape from the city's torridity,
for skirting the Potomac and the Shenan-
doah nearly all the way the water of these
lovely streams cools and tempers the atmos-
phere to most refreshing extent Truly
the Baltimore and Ohio, in the capital man
ner in which tho Luray trips are arranged,
and tho thorough manner in which all prom
ises have been carried out, has proven that
excursions of "a day can very greatly do away
with the tedium of long and hot summer
months.

partment throughout our estab-
lishment, beginning Thursday,

out the season. 1t is a princi-
pie of our business not to carry

another, even if they have to be
sold at a loss, preferring to
show our customers new, fresh,
and attractive styles each sea-
son.

Not Foul Play, but Suicide.

The dead body of Edward Bassly, colored,
was found on Saturday lying on the bank of
Rock creek, near the old slaughter house.
There was pistol shot wound on the fore
head, to the right of the median line. Ru-
mors of foul play were current during Satur-
day aud yesterday, but the inquest failed to
elicit facts to corroborate this theory. The
coroner held an inquest at the fourth precinct
station, and jury was empaneled. Evidence
was taken all of which seemed to point to the
insanity of the man. number of boys saw
the body lying at tho place where it was
found on Friday evening, and saw it again on
Saturday morning. Persons working near by
did not hear any shooting and stated that
they would have heard it had there been any.
The jury rendered a verdict that the deceased
came to his death from u pistol shot wound
in tue head, self inflicted.

So, to accommodate ourselves
and attract those ladies, we
have decided to close them at

are wanted at this price, even

That Circular.

The Republican, General MAH0NE's
Washington organ, is not in very good
humor with the poor fellow who gave out
for publication in the Star General Ma
HOMES recent letter demanding money from
the Government clerks whom he had " cor
rallied" into a Campaign Club" The
law forbids assessments TO be made upon
these clerks as such, or while at work in
their rooms, but il says nothing as to
gathering them together into Campaign
Clubs" and squeezing their last dollar out
OF them The Republican "goes for them !"
as follows:
"The poor. miserable sutler in the pO-
litical army, who begs for political influ-
ence in his behalf and skulks away during
an engagement TO eat pie and Jam, and gets
Bourbon newspapers TO whine for him
when he is reminded Of his meanness, will
not turn back the political current in Nir-
ginia. Stout hearts on the right side will
not give way TO soreheads or to Bringing
pace-hunters who turn pale when the con-
trlbution-bOX comes in sight"
And yet Republican Congress passed a
INV lOl IIOttttlOl VI thNHN h'i'NA"'iN
suffers" And it was needed. How are
these assessments TO be limited! An as
sessment OF five per cent. on their salaries
may be followed by another OF ten per
cent. General MALONE treats the law with
thorough contempt. He has initiated the
California ward-polticians. who, when
law was passed protecting the ballot-boX
from being stuffed at primary elections,
merely had pre-primary election-an
election of the same sort a short time before
the regular primary election-and so ac-
complished their unholy work. General
MALONE doesn't go into the Departments
nor to the Department clerks to make his
assessments. He simply compels the clerks
TO come TO him.

An examination OF this table will show
the effect OF the Democratic measures
adopted to sustain the schools. The first
year of the operation OF the Henkel bill
ended the 31st OF July, 1850, and all the
ascertainment OF the fund and much OF the
settlement OF it with the treasurers was
done that year by William +. Taylor, who
held Office till the 1st OF January, 1880.
But whether Mr.. Taylor, Mr.. Massey, or
Mfr. Allen was Auditor. or whether DR..
Ruffner or Nr. FAIR was superintendent,
all they could do was to execute laws en-
acted, as have shown, by Democratic Le-
gislatures. The increase OF schools and OF
pupils comes from the increase OF the fund
thus secured, aud not from any peculiar
fitness Of Readiuster officers.
find that during the last Legislature an
act was passed Up. 262) which combines the
IIenkel bill and the bill TO pay the arrears
TO the schools, making some slight changes
which do not alter the substantial effect of
the measures. The first change is to re-
quire the treasurers to retain 80 instead OF
| 10 per cent. OF the school-quota disburse-
ment in the counties and cities before their
settlement with the Auditor. The proper
tion of one fourth was fixed OH TO cover
expenses and insolvents. The true amount
over and above the three iourths OF the as.
sessed quota retained was, however, accu.
rately ascertained and settled under the
original act, and if the change is proper il
is because the proportion of the fund re-
CURED to cover expenses and insolvents
has been found to be not over 10 per cent.
Of the assessment.
The other change is in the sum to be
paid quarterly on the arrears. The original
act puts it at $1,000; the last act puts il
al S25, 900 per quarter. This will only pay
the debt more rapidly. Whether this will
