THE MARYLAND OYSTER BEDS,
Plans Of Relief and Improvement Con-
sidered by the State Commission.

The Maryland oyster commission, which has
been seeking to devise some plan which would
result In the gradual improvement of the oyster
property Of the state, and at the same time In
terfere rs little as possible with the supply for
the immediate future, met In Baltimore last
week. 1t was suggested to take from the cOun-
ties Of Dorchester and Somerset, and any others
that may have It, the right to grant licenses to
dredge, and place such powers wholly In the
state authorities. 1t is further proposed to draw
broad lines from prominent points, beyond which
no dredging shall be done, only longing men
being allowed to take oysters in the restricted
waters. It IL also proposed, In order to Improve
the oyster production, that q portion Of the bot
tom Of the bay be improved BY dressing it with
oyster shells.
DR.. Brooks reported at this meeting that he
had Just finished the tabuation Of the results OBJ
taned by the commission In their recent exami-
nation Of the oyster area Of the state. The
average Of the examination Of sixty-one beds
gives 27-1O0 Of an oyster to each square yard. or
one oyster to each 7-10 square yards. In 1879
Lieut.. Winslow found q the average Of all his
observations In Tangier sound that there were
l9-1OO0 OF an oyster to each square yard, or one
oyster to each 3 4:1O square yards.
The commission find, as the average OF 46
beds, that there are only $500 Of living Oys-
ters to each bushel OF dead shells. These results
show that 1.-THE same timeth oysters are growing
scarce the labor required to capture them Is
growing greater. as the number OF dead shells
which must be handled for each bushel Of 0ys-
tiers b increasing.

Anacostia as 1t Is and Not UniontoWn
1t Was.

10 the Editor OF THE EVENING STAR:
feel really provoked at the fippant pen of
correspondent of the New York San, as repre-
sented in THE STAR last week. cannot stand
idly by and see this village so grossly misrepre-
sented, especially at time when our citizens
are petitiOning the District Commissioners for
improvements. This correspondent speaks OF
"UniOntOwn" as "a little tumble-down SETTLE
ment." Now, he must surely have paid his last
visit years ago, and. like Rip Van Wrinkle, awoke
to find what was once "a sleepy, tumble down"
place now a prosperous and wide-awake village
which will compare faEorably for industry and
thrift with any other section Of the District In
proportion to its numbers and wealth. The in
of Anacostia and its citizens shows
In what light he holds public affairs.
1t Is true that we do not pack away TWENTY-FIVE
families in one tenement and hang our clothes
on the flats to dry, as in the city of New York.
but it Is really conceded fact that rooms and
houses are in such demand here that none can
be procured by anxious solicitors. There are
now several houses being erected, and are
rented before they are completed. and all over
these hills can be seen beautiful country cot
ta@es, where their inmates are perfectly happy
when they return at night from the busy hustle
of the crowded city to the hearty welcome they
receive from their loved ones at home.
Anacostia boasts Of three churches, almost
within stone throw, and am informed that it is
contemplated to erect a fine Baptist church on
Jefferson street. 1t has magnificent public
school, mattress factory, an orphan asylum.
cOlored public school and church. two carriage
factories aud other places of business We
have also large hall, the property of the Ma
sons. and Tent Of Rechabtes numbering sew
enty strong.
In conclusion let me say that Anacostia is
very select place. and the entertainments given
in this sleepy tumble-down village" are in
deed creditable to its people. We hope the Dis
trict Commissioners will not read Rip Van VIM
kles "UniOntOwn as it was" but of the BOOM
ing AnacOstia as it is, and help US in the lauda-
BILE work Of reconstruction by giving us the
improvements 80 much needed.

No Greek in the Public Schools.

To the Editor Of THE EVENING STAR.
Your correspondent observer must be
stupid, from anything have ever said or writ
ten, to determine me favorable to teaching
Greek in the public schools. Allmy remarks were
restricted to college education, without the re-
hottest relation to what Is or is not proper 70,
the public schools, which, In my opinion, being
maintained at the public charge, should aim at
such instruction as is essential in enabling eyery
boy and girl to master the first rudiments Of
learning. They thus acquire sufficient knowl-
edge to inspire self respect-affOrd them pleas
ure in moments of leisure and facilities for self
neutrality-suspicious. from imposition, and supply
the stepping stones to higher culture should
circumstances later on render such acquisition
desirable. AS the community Is bound in duty
and for safety to provide water, bread and meat
for all the poor, 1t is not obliged at the public
cost to supply wine, Oil and honey, or other luz
uries. The general welfare demands that every
child shall have thorough acquaintance COM
pulsory. If necessary, with the first principles
of learning, and should exact but little or
nothing more at the public cost. To
teach all In everything good to all,
would he folly to attempt. The effort to teach
Instrumental music, embroidery or painting to
the girl being educated In practical cookery, or
for the loom or dairy, would, nine times out of
ten, result In diminishing her ability to gain q
| livelihood at anything. The study Of Greek in
the public schools would require time and means
better employed in that solid instruction attain
able by and essential to the well being Of every
person. Opportunity to study Latin and Greek
| might very properly be made the reward of sur
passing excellence in progress and morals.
The study OF Latin and Greek, however, Is
| quite as essential to certain conditions having
| relation to civilization, as Is the common school
education to the good Of the masses and security
OF the community. They who deride Greek
through ignorances should at least appreciate
the comparative poverty Of other languages In
realizing the demand all the world over upon
the Greek for comprehensive and expressive
terms for nearly all the discoveries In the arts
and sciences. Why should the people Of all

THE ELEVATION OF THE COLI
BRED RACE.
A COlored Republican's Views.



To the EDITOR Of TIE EVENING STAR:
A statepent In your last Saturdays issue over
the name Of Republican" needs to be refuted.
In his comments, upon Mr.. Douglass speech In
Louisville. KY, be makes him say that the Vice
Presidency or Cabinet place would be the only
requisitesto secure perfect equality for the col
ored racer Also. that the colored population is
one-third of thepopulation of this county, and
commits ,two-thjrds of the crimes "Republi-
can" has no such data nor can he nor any other
person, however prejudiced he may be, find sufll-
cient proof anywhere to sustain that state
ment. If he Is northern man. he knows If he
knows anything at all. that the petty crimes for
which colOred persons here and further south,
as rule. are charged with, have a greater pro-
portion In the north among the poorer classes
of the white people. Let him go to any large
northern city. and he knows that he would find
more than forty white criminals to every colored
one, and in many of the northern cities the
scenes Of our Police Court here are repeated,
but the subjects are white. 1t is so in my own
town. do not make this as an apology for the
crime Of my race at ALL but simply to call Gre
pubcan's" attention to what may also look
dark for the white race, if the criminal records
are to be the only grounds upon which to draw
conjectures OF what the future Of the race will
be.
His second charge IS that of idleness. If"Re-
advancement into places of very profitable en-
ployment. as it does against the fdlers Of whom
he speaks. he would not be so ready to con-
denim them. These iders are not able to OBJ
tain employment other than the most mental
the community offers. and as a class, the poor
est paid for services rendered. They have not
the slightest chance for advancement or even
employment in those pursuits that "Republi-
cans" race enjoy and which would give them an
impetus to make themselves more honorable
citizens. This ia as true Ofthe educated as the
illiterate. Let Republican" and his stamp of
republicansm throw his influence against the
trade unions" and all other organized opposi-
ton to the colored peoples progress, and open
the doors Of business establishments and the
various pursuits in which the youth of the RE
publcan's' race enjoy, where these young idIers
may have chance to be trained for the duties
of life and see, as far as 1t is in his power.
that fair opportunity Is given our young col
ored men or women in all the avenues Of life,
where the better qualities can be best de-
veloped and rightly used, and know he will be
more than pleased at the result.

STOCK PEAS.

The farmers of Warren, and perhaps
many other counties, have planted
largely ofstock peas this season, some
for fodder or hay, while others have
planted to turn under as a fertilizer.
As general thing, so far as we have
seen, they are looking we'll, even on
poor land. The advantage of peas as
a fertilizer, they grow on poor land
which will not produce clover or other
suitable green crops to turn under.
The pea crop is generally profitable.
1t makes good fodder, a good fertilizer
and when the peas are allowed to ma
ture makes fine pasture for hogs first
before feeding them corn to fat
ten. Peas fatten hogs nearly as fast as
corn.

is to fatten cattle before bringing them
to the market. In Boone county,
Nebraska, where they hold 5000 acres
of land, he has supervised the erection
of sheds for shelter and corn cribs,

Propagating Melons.

Mr.. Jerry Lee comes to the front
and tells us how to raise large water
melons. He says he selected one of
ordinary size from those in his patch,
and not far from the stem, inserted a
string, common yarn, through the vine
the other end of the string he placed
in pint vessel containing water and
manure. Mr.. Lee says he filled his
cup every day, the melon taking up
each day pint of the mixture. He
repeated this some time and the melon
grew amazingly and began to assume
gigantic proportions. But one morning
he paid the usual visit for the purpose
of replendishing the fluid, when, to his
surprise, he found the melon had grown
so large it bursted wide open, and the
beautiful red melon lay before him.
He states that the flavor was delicious
and thinks it the plan to raise large
watermelons, provided you can bind Or
confne them to prevent bursting.
the fruit can be favored with any kind
of favoring to suit by the process of
propagation. Dublin Gazette.
