One of the most curious incidents in the his
tory of African slavery in America is the life of
Charles Stewart, slave owned by the Johnsons
of Virginia, and afterwards by the Porters of
Louisiana, both of them noted as possessors of
remarkable racing horses. He was o born
trainer and rider of horses, and during his long
lifetime has ridden the winning horse at many
of the great races down South. He could not
write, and knew nothing about figures, but was
nevertheless trusted by his owners with the
care and transportation of their stock, and the
custody of the bets and stakes, and he seems al.
ways to have come out right One of the ladies
of the Porter family recently took down the
story of his life as told by himself, and it is
given, in his own negro dialect, in the October
Ha,per's, with portrait of the old hero of the
turf

pointed to scholarships in that institution Craw-
ford Norris, Charles Forwood, Charles Holland,
Joseph Livezey and John Lynch. The trustees
also ordered that the school should be closed
only on Thursday and Friday of the county fair
The Academy has opened this year with ell
couraging prospects, and we hope soon TO see
1t filled with pupils. The principal, Mr.. W. T.
l.. Taliaferro, is an accomplished and successful
teacher, and the school, which is the oldest in
the county, ifproperly supported by our own
citizens, would be restored to the position it
once held, as one Of the foremost institutions of
learning in the State.

Democratic Mass Meeting in Balti.

great Democratic mass meeting under
the auspices of Irsh-American citizens of
Baltimore, was held in Monument Square,
Tuesday night. Stirring speeches were made
by Gen. O'Byrne, Of New York; Congress
man Post, of Pennsylvania; Hon. Charles II.
Winfield, of New Jersey; ex Gov. Pillsbury,
of Maine; and Mr.. Monaghan, of Rhode Is
land.
Gen. OByrne in his speech asked when,
where and under what circumstances did Mr..
Blaine say kind word for Irishmen? IA
voice-"We don't want him to-" Cheers |
The speaker said he objected to the introduc.
ton of race or creed into the politics of this
country. Butler he said, is the running
mate to the trotting horse Blaine, and moth
ing more. [Laughter.] Mr.. Blaine, in his
henne6ec Journal, was the advocate of the
party that denounced the Irish and reviled
their religious belief. There are great many
men of foreign birth, who, if Mr.. Blaine's
party could have prevailed in 1856, could not
vote to-day. A voice, eve know all about
the awls."l Even tolerant old Maryland
went down under the storm of prescription,
and the gallant Henry A. Wise, of Virginia,
was the foremost to throw himself into the
breach and help to break Know Nothingism
down. Applause. Mr.. Blaine, when Sec
rotary of State permitted Irish born
American citizens to languish in English
prisons, because he did not want TO offend
the aristocratic sentiment which Minister
Lowell is so careful to propitiate. Gen.
O'Byrne said he was one of the men who in
1858 stood with Meagher, Smith o 'Brien and
the other men who were not afraid to take to
the hillside for the old land. [Cheers He
knew the lrish'born people of Maryland can.
not be seduced from allegiance to the Demo.
cratic party by men who are going about for
that purpose, even though they are well sup
piled with Republican money.

millions of grasshoppers, all hopping west
ward, towards MIR. Woolsey's field. AT Mr.. R.
John Rogers, near Bel Air, the same phenome-
non presented itself. The road was alive with
the hoppers, and strange 10 say, every one was
hopping in the same direction as those first
seen by Mr.. Osborn. Perhaps they have eaten
out their former landlords and are looking for
good quarters on the rich farms of Messrs.
Woolsey and Rogers, or they may have heard that
crops are good in the West, and are on their
way there.
