A Joke on "Our" Daniel.-The New York
Tribune tells this joke on Baltimore county's
Daniel: "The Hon. William Daniel, of Baltimore
temporary chairman Of the recent Prohibition
National Convention at Pittsburg, is man of
diminutive stature and boyish appearance. 1t is
told that when he was one of the most distinguish
ed lawyers on the "East'n Sho" of Maryland, he
visited one day one of the old families where still
obtained the custom of making the children eat
at second table after their elders had dined. So
when dinner was announced one of the half
grown boys of the family sided up to Mr.. Daniel
with the invitation, "Let's you and me 60 out an
play sock ball while the grown folks eat dinner"

in the rear part of the house, and robbed the
money drawer of its contents, consisting of about
SIS. 1t is not known who the thief is, but the
robbery occurring on the same day that the negro,
Robinson, robbed the barber shop, suspicion
points very strongly to him as the thief.

A Trip Over the M. G. R. R.-A CORES
pendent of the Delta Herald recently made trip
over the Maryland Central from Baltimore to
Delta, and being greatly pleased with what he
saw, has written very interesting letter to the
above paper, portion of which we hear append
cat 4.30 sharp, the train moved out of the depot
en- route for Delta and intermediate stations.
We had ridden once before over this raiway-the
occasion of its opening-but under very unfavor-
able circumstances, and we did not fail to make
q contrast between the trip we had taken and the
one now about to furnish so many commendable
impressions and convey such great amount of
joy. Fairly away from the city and our iron
steed seemed to become nerved with such strength
as to give birth to the conclusion that race had
begun between time and the locomotive in which
the former was about to be annihilated.
CATER having noticed everything of interest to
us upon the train, we would occasionally awaken
from a reverie to find we had been blankly gaz-
ing into the face of some one of the many pas
sengers aboard the crowded train. Our thoughts
went back to the not very distant past when the
farmer was compelled to rise at midnight and
prepare his horses for the irksome journey to
Baltimore, where he generally arrived before five
or six in the evening, and was required to quit
his bed at three four the next morning in order
to "strike" the market for the sale of his produce
eve look upon the M. G. R. r. as one of the
best equipped narrowgauge railways in the
United States. Its management is superior, its
rolling stock abundant and of the best possible
build, and above all, to the lover of nature, its
scenery the most picturesque and enhancing which
the State of Maryland contains. There are some
parts of the road over which vast and high tres
ties span yawning chasms and deep ravines until
you seem to be floating through space or riding
upon that gospel train" of negro invention whose
track is Invisible to any but the uplfted eye of
faith. The Rocks of Deer Creek are reminders of
eternity itself they lift their hoary heads in the
very face of heaven and are protected by woods
clothed in the gorgeous garniture of living green.
This place is destined to be at no distant day the
most popular resort near the city of Bati-
more, and the source of immense passenger
traffic and revenue to the M. G. Company. To
the lover of landscape, Long Green valley affords
much joyousness. We arrived in the valley about
sunset and shall never forget the scene. All ma
ture appeared in her brightest lovliness. The
heavens hung round with the richest tapestry of
purple and gold; lowing herds in the distance, some
browsed silently over the sweet scented meadows;
feathery choirs in guiltless gee were piping their
merry evening songs of alteration to their Creator;
all was stainless purity and prevailing peace"

The Anders' Mill Dam Case.-A CORES
pondent at Double Pike Creek, Carroll county,
sends communication to the Westminster Advo-
cate on the Anders' mill dam case, in which is
reviewed the whole matter, going back thirty years
to speak of the original construction of the dam.
He says the dam was built by Mr.. McKinstry
more than thirty years ago. The dam was six or
eight inches too high, and Mr.. McKinstry went
to D. P. Sayler, the then owner of the Mrs. White
farm, and offered to lower it, if desired by Mr..
Sayler. The latter agreed to let it stand. T. f.
Cover next became owner of the mill, and he ad-
ded several pieces of scantIing, and in 1878 C. B.
Anders became owner. Believing he had not
sufficient power, he added about twelve inches
This, after heavy rains, backed the water on the
lands of Mrs. White. Failing to get Mr.. Anders
to lower his dam, she appealed to the courts
Mrs. White won in the court below, and Mr..
Anders appealed to the Court of Appeals. Mrs.
White sustained there also, and Mr.. Anders
was ordered to lower his dam in accordance with
the decision. He failed to do this, though given
ample time and committed to Jail for contempt.
When he chooses to obey the law, by lowering his
dam in accordance with the order of the court, he
can gain his liberty again. These are the facts
set forth by our correspondent, who argues that
the heighth of the dam is injurious to Mrs. Whites
land and ought to be removed further, that if
every man can settle his own case as he sees fit,
courts and laws are q burlesque and sham. The
latter Is undoubtedly

Military Courtesy.-Lieuts. A. M. Reed and
J. F. Magic, accompanied by about seventeen men,
bers of the Bond Guards, of Catonsvile, came to
Towsontown in an omnibus on Tuesday evening, to
pay their respects to their efficient chief officer,
Capt. D. P. Barnette, assistant examiner of the
county schools. The visitors were a little late
reaching here, but when they came they found
the Captain and his good lady fully prepared for
them and they were most Hospitality received and
sumptuously entertained, Mrs. Bnrnette having
in readiness a delightful luncheon, which was
heartily enjoyed by the visitors after their long
ride. Among others present were Capt. Ridgely
and Lieut.. MCLEAN, of the Towson Guards
After spending few hours in social converse and
enjoying the good things which had been so amply
provided, the visitors ordered their coach and
started ON the return trip, which, we hope was
made in safety. The Bond Guards have a very
warm feeling for their Captain, which must be
most gratifying to him.

Mercier-Fisher.-O Thursday afternoon
of last week, at the NJ E. church, Reisterstown,
Mr.. Owen H. Mercier of Ellicott City, was mar
ried to Miss Amy Fisher, of the former place.
Rev. Mr.. Richardson of Ellicott City performed
number of relatives and friends. After the cere-
mony the bridal party, accompanied by their
guests, drove to the residence of the brides moth
er, where a reception was held and congratula-
tions and good wishes extended to the newly we'd
ded pair. The presents were very numerous and
handsome. When the reception was over the
bride and groom left Reisterstown and drove to
ElIicott City, which will be their future home
They were accompanied by many of their young
friends, and to their carriage was attached an old
shoe-the emblem which is thought to bring such
great good luck to all who embark on the sea of
matrimony.

How a Physician Managed to Obtain a
Large Practice.

The following story serves to illus,
trate the love of the French people for
the mysterious: A short time ago a
Partisan doctor set up an establishment
in the Faubourg Montmatre. He as
sumed high-sounding name, furnished
his house in weird and fantastic fashion,
engaged solemn-looking and taciturn
servants, and announced that he could
only see patients after the hours of mid
night or in the gray dawn of the morn
ing. The effect was electrical. Every
weak-minded person, with maladies,
real or imaginary, focked to the new
medico, who soon began to reap a
golden harvest. At last the suspicious
OF the police were aroused. The COM
missary paid him a personal visit, and
asked to see his diploma. To his sur
prise he finds out that not only had the
suspected individual taken good degrees
but that he had graduated with the
highest honors at the Paris University.
just as he was taking his departure,
however, the doctor entreated him not
to let any one know of his high qualfica-
tions. The commissary, with some sur
prise, asked him the reason of his de-
sire to conceal SO much intellectual
light under bushel. "Why," replied
the other, ''if my patients only knew
that | was mere doctor, my practice
would vanish like the snow.

nure; but they are of more value where
they were grown.

With hot, dry smoke the surface Is dried

Chicago Divorces,

As illustrating the wholesale charac.
ter of the divorce business in Chicago, a
few figures, taken from the court rec
ords, may be of interest. During the
year closing December 81, 1882 there
were 748 divorces granted, whereas the
marriage licenses issued were about
5000, or one divorce to eight marriages.
No'other city in the United States can
show so large proportion of divoi ces
to marriages During the last year, in
the two chancery courts presided over
by Judges Jameson and Gardner, 1854
divorces were issued, and it is thought
as many more were granted in the two
circuit courts. OF the 374 divorces
granted in the chancery courts, 266
were issued on complaint of the wife,
and l0} on complaint or the husband;
343 cases went by default, and 81 were
contested. Divorces were granted on
the following grounds: Deseltion, 100;
drunkenness, AS; adultery, 81; cruelty,
rs; felony. 6; bigamy, A; void for fraud,
7; dismissed by court, II.
From these figures it will be seen that
more than twice as many women APP
piled for divorce as men, which indi-
Gates TO cei tain extent that the divorce
lawyers, of whdn Chicago boasts quite
a number, have been assiduously at
work. The fact that of 374 petitions
343 were granted on default, no de-
fence being entered, is considered espec-
ally remarkable and can only be ex-
planned on the ground that in many in
stances the defendant knows nothing
about the case until after the affair IS
closed. The deputy sheriff, who serves
the necessary notice, is taken to some
person in the hire Of the divorce attor-
ney, who personates the defendant.
Service is made in bona fide manner
and certified TO, and that ends the mat
ter. Meantime the unsuspecting hus-
band is in blissful ignorance that legal
proceedings have been instituted against
him. The first thing he knows of the
affair he finds himself divorced man,
his wife gone and his home ruined, and
then he does not attempt to even inves-
tigate the matter, but accepts the situa-
ton, and perhaps murmurs, What a
lucky escape. ~ Boston Globe. ihFa
