..Uld Storer, = as ne was called, used
to dress in q snuI-brOwn coat. q white,
indentel hat, patched breaches and
thrice -darned hose. Ignorant OF the
forms of life, he was never abashed.
and showed an address that cultured
gentleman might have envied.
He had but one ambition--to hoard
money. Only one occupation interested
wealth. These made him steady in
action and gave unity TO his life.
In early life he worked on the large
farm of q rich widow, many years his
senior. He determined to obtain those
broad acres and, therefore, courte.l the
widow. She listened to his honeyed
words, and became susceptible to his
soft, graceful address.
Now and then, during the progress

were walking in the fields. she limited

not wholly disinterested.

me? fear you don't
''Not love YOU, my dear!' replied
Storer, suddenly inspired with truth,

..Can you tell me. sir, what is the

in the thought that another stranger

As he had no children and disliked
his relatives, the suggestion was made
to him that the medical college in the
town would be an appropriate legatee.
He approved the suggestion, and often
intimated that he would make his will
in favor of the college.
He was taken sick. His physician,

Apples.

It is commonly supposed that the APP
pie is fruit. The accurate scientific
man will tell as this is wrong. Pears,
plums, oranges, peaches and nearly all
so-called fruits are not fruits, but the
feshy envelopes or receptacles of the
fruit which is really the seed enclosed
within these envelopes, just as a grain
of corn is tho fruit of the maize plant
epyeloped in the husk and born upon
the receptacle which is the stalk. A
strawberry, too, is not o fruit, but the
receptacle upon which the true fruit,
the small, hard seeds, are imbedded.
A strawberry is. in fact, receptacle
turned inside out, just as if an apple
could be so reversed and the seeds in
the core were attached to the outside
instead of being placed inside. This is
the botanical view of the apple. But
apples existed and were eaten and en-
jOyed before bOtanists took our appe-
tites away with their Greek terms and
their matter-of-fact way of putting
things. In this case, however, We have
the advantage over the scieatific men
and prior right to the use of this word
fruit. For its popular and precise
meaning is something that is enjoyed"
and it gets this meaning from its origi-
nal Latin root, which is frui, the past
tense of the verb fruor, to enjoy, and
meaning literally enjoyed, SO that the
apple to us is that part of the tree
which is enjoyed or made use Of, and in
using this word we are right and the
botanists have reason to give back to
us this word to which they have no
right and should use seed instead.
It is pleasant for once to get ahead of
these people, who are so ready to poke
a simple thing like a violet aston q Dip
lopappas lindriif olius, and SO turn the
tables upon them. And it makes the
delicious fruit all the more agreeable
that we can enjoy it without violating
any propriety in calling it fruit.
And Just now the farmer who is with
out the early apple is casting aw4y one
of the best gifts Of nature. 1t is q very
pertinent subject, too. just now when
we are having spasm Of virtue pro-
duced by the dread of visit from the
cholera, and many persons fear that
fruit Of any kind is provocative Of
this disease. But, on the contrary, this
disease is direct punishment due to
our own neglect Of such true sanitary
regulations, as observing the lost par
ticular cleanliness, and eating such truly
wholesome and seasonable food as per-
fectly ripe fruit, and SO avoiding the
conditions which favor the spread OF
contagion. And just now when the
Early Harvest, the Sweet Bongh and
the Red Astrakan are ripe, those who
have them should enjoy them without
fear, because there is no more whole
some food at this season, and those
who are without them should not DELAY
to prepare piece Of ground, IN readi-
ness to plant . dozen Of them before
the winter comes. But caution
should be given that the apple IS better
cooked than eaten raw because its

IT has been stated that the clerk to
the Board of County Commissioners
had been presented with clean set
of books, and this, we presume, signi-
fes that the financial affairs of Anne
Arundel are to be taken out of the old
ruts and run on a new and improved
basis. Ifso, all right. The charges of
mismanagement in our county affairs
by the present board have been made
so public by one of our weekly papers,
that we are led to believe that, in due
time. proper and full investigation
therein will be made, and that, too,
by the proper tribunal. 1t is due to
the commissioners themselves, and,
instead of sinking such responsibility,
they should, individually and collec-
lively, court. by every means accesa-
bic, q full, thorough and complete

IT has been said, and truthfully,
too, that the abominable sin of ingrati-
tude should be classified among the
Ten Commandments, named in the
Decalogue, and numbered the
eleventh. Republics may be guilty
of this reproacb, but they are not al
ways unmindful of the valorous deeds
of their heroes. Secretary Lincoln is
about to verify this latter fact in the
determination to promote the survi-
vors of the late Lady Franklin Bay
Expedition, as a just souvenir for
their self-sacriicing deeds in the icy
regions of the North Pole With a
characteristic that excells human sub
Unity, the brave Lieutenant Greeley,

but add another jewel in the crown

MISS HAMILTON.

No gentleman should forget the chival-
rous duty he owes to himself to vote for
Miss AIDA NJ. Hamilton for superintend-
ent of schools. She is the candidate of
no party. She makes no political issue Of
her canvass. She seeks the Office because
she has an ambition to put her high edu-
cational qualifications to that higher use,
and because she needs the comparatively
small emoluments Of the Office with
which to support herself and an invalid
SISTER. No man who votes for Miss Ham
ilton will ever feel sentiment other than
pride for thus exercising his franchise.

JUDGE MCPHERSON.

HIN. Maguire's candidacy for the Office
OF probate judge seems to have been
withdrawn and the contest rests between
A. D. Mcpherson, democratic nominee,
and G. S. Hartman, the republican make
shift. No man who knows the two men
will hesitate long in deciding to vote for
Judge Mcpherson. He is man of age
and legal experience. He held the Office
a few years ago and most satisfactorily
demonstrated his fitness to hold it. He is
the choice of the lawyers of the county
regardless of politics. His opponent
"Charlie," as McCutcheon feelingly and
pettingly called him in his speech, is a
mere lad. We do not mean to say that
youth is fault, but we do say that in SO
important position as county judge in
volving, beside the trial of important
civil and criminal cases, the control of
estates involving any amount. the lncum-
bent should be a man of tried judgment
and experience as well as of the age that
best becomes the judicial function. MIR.
Hartman has studied law but he has not
p-actised it. 1t may be that he does not
know any law or that he is untitled for
the legal profession. In either case he
would not be good judge, even if his
youth were not an insuperable objection.

FOR THE HONOR OF LIVINGSTON
Gentlemen who attended the county
democratic convention, Septem ber 18th,
will remember what occurred. but to
those who were not there we wish to re-
call an item of its history. The delega-
ton that went from this precinct, beside
havinga certain d efined policy in regard
to nomina ting Legislative ticket was also
in favor of the nomination of c. p Blake
ley for sheriff, NJ. M. Black county clerk
and recorder, William Fly for treasurer
provided he wanted the ofice), and A. D.
Mcpherson for probate judge. The plans
of the delegation regarding Legislative
ticket were defeated, and great and just
dissatisfaction was the immediate result.
A part of the convention withdrew from
the convention. Nominations proceeded
until that of sheriff was reached. C. p.
Blakeley was nominated without dissent
ing voice from such of the delegates as re-
mained. Then Sheriff Blakeley arose
and, in an address that all present will re-
member as one of the most manly and
straightforward ever made before poll
tical convention, he declined the nomina-
ton rather than accept divided conven-
ton. In the quandary which followed
an adjournment was taken. Then
the delegates from Livingston
and from Cooke and from the other pre-
cincts on the east side gathered about
Sheriff Blakeley, approved his course, and
begged HIM to accept the nomination
from full convention. This he finally
consented to do. In the morning all but
very few of the delegates who withdrew
returned to the convention hall and again
unanimously nominated Sheriff Blakely.
They also nominated (by lending their aid)
NJ. NJ. Black, VIM. Fly snd A. D. Nc
Pherson. Now we believe that those del
egates who thus encouraged Sheriff Blake
ley to accept nomination he had already
declined are pre-eminently bound to sup
port him. We also believe that the dele.
CATION who assisted in the nomination of
Black, Fly and Mcpherson are morally
bound to render them all possible aid in
this election. For the honor of Living
sten and its democracy we wish to see
each of these men have this town with
majority of its votes. If the ENTERPRISE
has any friends in Livingston we ask them
in this matter to regard our request.
