Two Beautiful Books.

The attractive features of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad have never been more worth
lily presented than In book before us
entitled "On Picturesque B. u o." The
romantic scenery along the ronte of this
great railroad is depicted by means of ex-
quisite illustrations and readable letterpress.
The book is printed in tints and each page con-
tains clever humorous or comical design,
making the page study in itself.
We have also received another b. & o. book,
different in conception from the one ABOVE de-
scribed, entitled Mountain and Valley Resorts"
1t is printed upon heavy paper; the views OF
the different resorts most exquisitely rendered
In many colors, and counterfeiting nature to
perfection. The letter-press is in maroon, and
throughout the reading pages are ornamental
panels in various shades, and producing beau.
tiful contrasts. The book is a gem, and un,
questionably reaches the highest standard of art
yet accomplished by any railroad company.
Mr.. j. e. Pangborn is entitled to the credit
of conceiving and having executed these two
interesting and beautiful books. AS usual, q
request made by mail to c. X. Lord, &. p. A,
Baltimore, with a two ceut stamp for postage,
will secure copy of either.

Tomato Refuse.

The Milford (Del.) Chronicle calls attention to
the probable value of the refuse from tomato
canneries for fertilizing and feeding purposes.
The ash of the tomato, it learns from report
made to the New York State Agricultural Soci-
ETY. in 1S4S, contains "a per cent. of phosphoric
acid, nearly 81 per cent. of potash and over %
per cent. of soda, making the fertilizing proper
ties of dried tomatoes, exclusive of heterogeneous
matter, about ~ per cent. The Chronicle
adds
"From the good results from feeding these,
and from the rank smell of decaying tomatoes
we may safely judge that their heterogeneous
matter is in proportion even more valuable than
other constituents.
"If this view of the case is correct how great
is the waste annually suffered throughout the
State? From hundreds of canneries immense
quantities of refuse are run into creeks, dumped
into swamps, and otherwise disposed of, to the
offense OF the people and loss of the manufac-
turer. About "a per cent. of the original ripe
tomato is water. This might be drained away
at bins near the factories until the proportion
OF water was materially reduced; the pulp could
then be stored in silos for feed, with a profit
far surprising, in our opinion, that from corn
or green grass ensilage. The refuse thus saved
even in earthen pits, comes out sweet and
bright, and is readily eaten by stock"
The value of tomato refuse as food for stock
may be overestimated by our contemporary, but
there is no doubt that If composted 1t would
NAKED valuable fertilizer, to say nothing of the
benefit to the comfort and health of the commu.
nifty by properly disposing of the offensive
matter.

THE CASE OF WIN. II. CRAwLEY

Mr.. EDITOR: should be glad to say a word
in Justice to Mr.. VIM. Il. Crawleys who was re-
Gently robbed of $3.50. OF course 1t is nobody's
business how Mr. Crawley or any other honest
man becomes possessed OF u sum of money large
or small, but Mr.. Crawley is pensioner of the
county and various limitations have been made
that he is NOT entitled toa pension If he could
save the amount of which he was robbed He
is almost entirely blind but anxious and willing
to work A kind friend supported him all winter
He owned Il stump puller, which he sold With
this money and his pension he bought a horse
hoping TO be able 10 resume his former occupa-
ton as well-digger. Not being able to get en-
ployment he sold the horse at an advance and
had the proceeds on hand when he was robbed
He is in all respects worthy recipient of a pen
sion from the county and only accepted it be
cause he was no longer able to do any work by
reason of blindness. His feelings have been
deeply hurt at the notorety that has been given
to his case, as he is conscious that long as he
could do any work he was anxious to do it. and
hopes to make some arrangement by which he
can dispense with aid from the county 1t is
only just to him to make this statement.

The Collectors Bonds.

The County Commissioners have been
considerably exercised, this week, over the
approval of collectors bonds. The bonds OF
the lowest bidders were submitted 10
Mr.. William Young, counsel to the board
with instructions that only real estate
was to be considered as the basis of bonds,
personal property not being deemed perma-
nent security. Upon examination of the
records in the Clerks office and the assess
ment books Mr.. Young found that while the
bonds ofthe lowest bidders in some of the
districts were sufficient in amount of real
and personal property, only one of them
had presented bond covering sufficient
amount of unencumbered real estate, to
comply with the provisions of the law,
which requires bond of real estate double
the amount of taxes to be collected.
None of the bonds of the bidders from the
first and fifth districts measured up to the
rule adopted by the Commissioners re-.
quiring real estate double the amount of the
taxes to be collected, and the lowest bidders
In those districts were accordingly granted
until the 9th of May next to procure the
necessary bonds.
In the third and fourth districts the lowest
bidders whose bonds were sufficient under
the rule, were appointed.
The action Of the Commissioners, it is
claimed, is not accordance with that of pre-
vious boards, as in some cases bonds have
been accepted in which personal property
made up in part the amount required but
the present board considered that to make the
bonds an undoubted security only unencum-
bered real estate should form their basis.

Republican Quarrels.

In the bitter faction fight among the Mary.
land Republicans over delegates to the Re-
publican national convention the custom.
house influence is exerted for Arthur, while
the Baltimore postoffice officials are for
Blaine. The latter undoubtedly represent
the feelings of the bulk of the Republican
party in Maryland. In most of the counties
Blaine delegates were chosen and at the pri-
maries in Baltimore, on Wednesday, the
same element elected majority of the dele
gates. There were lively scenes at the Balti-
more primaries. The colored voters did
most of the voting and working. A ballot
box was thrown into the street, other ballot.
boxes were stuffed and general disorder
marked the proceedings. The congressional
district conventions were held yesterday, the
one for this district, at Waverly. The State
convention meets at Hagerstown May 1st.-
1t is believed that the Maryland delegation to
Chicago will be divided.

THE CANNED GOODS BUsINEss.-Th

sing in trade in general than last week, spe-
5cies of briskness is cropping out in the can

much energy in the aggregate this season as
there has been in the past. There will be

who will not touch tomatoes, having still
stock on hand, some few will drop the
business altogether, a small number will en-
ter the list as new houses, but the majority
will govern their pack by the condition of
the market The worst of the period has
past, the packers know they have to carry the
goods, they are confident of steady market
at low prices as the bulk of the stock is in
their hands, and the demand is quietly grow

The Blair Educational Bill.

The Blair bill before Congress appropri-
ates $77,000,000 out of the overlooking Uni
ted States treasury for educational purposes,
to be distributed among the States in pro-
portion to their lliteracy, as shown by the
last census. The first year 81, 100000 is to be
distributed, the second $10,000,000, the third
$4,000, 900, the amount thereafter diminish
ing at the rate of $2,0OO,000 annually until
the eighth year, when they will cease.
Under the bill Maryland would be entitled
to $1,6sO, 900, but for provision in it that
mo money shall be paid out under this act
to any State or territory that shall not have
provided by law system of free common
schools for all children of school age without
distinction of race or color, either in the
raising or distributing ofschool revenue or in
the school facilities afforded" By an express
provision of law 100000 of the school fund
is set apart annually in this State for the
colored schools. In addition thereto every
cent of school tax paid by the colored
people is also added to this fund. In point
of fact, the discrimination in Maryland is in
favor of the colored schools, but the State
can derive no benefit from the fund appro-
priated under the Blair bill while any dis
elimination exists. In order to have share
ofthis fund the State would have to place the
colored and the white schools upon exactly
the same footing in regard to the amounts of
money appropriated, and perhaps in regard
to the studies pursued as the white schools
The next step would probably be to have
mixed schools.
1t is estimated that under the law Hartford
county would receive about $40 900 year.
Notwithstanding the apparent advantage
such sum might be to our public schools
we do not hesitate to express our opposition
to the bill. 1t is unconstitutional, except
upon a strained construction of the clause
giving Congress power to provide for the
general welfare, and its passage would be a
long stride towards centralizing and consoli
dating o government at Washington by
which eventually all State lines would be
wiped out, and despotism worse than that
of the Gar of Russia take the place of our
present system. 1t would be too dear price
to pay for this gift from the general govern
ment The movement is only another evil
dtnce of the evils of the present tariff system.
Such bill would never have been offered if
the treasury had not been full of money ex-
torted from the people by means of a
high tariff on imported articles
