| salute thee, oh flag, and / hail thee:
| call thee the pride of the brave,
No foes on the earth dare assail thee.
Thou rulest DER region and wave;
Thou enliyenest my soul with emotion
As on thee with rapture | gaze,
And with nought but the purest devotion
! style thee the pride Of the brave,
When think of the brave hearts that bore
thee,
Loyalty, joyfully, on
Oft besprinkled and shattered with CORY
Nota murmur or sigh in the throng,
A feeling of gladness steals o 'er me,
I'm speaking both serious and grave,
For too do surely adore thee
Thou starry bright flag of the brave
look in thy folds for token
OF the love and answering desire,
That pervaded the masses unbroken,
And. with one solmn thought did inspire;
For | know that thy mission was holy,
Thou art destined by Heaven to save
To redeem the oppressed and the lowly-
Thou starry bright flag of the brave

And drink Sparkling Soda so grand !;
Take with you friend,
And he'll go there again,
And tell you It's the best in the land.

And try bis delicious Root Beer;
For it will you charm,
Yet do you no harm,
And I'm sure Wen often meet there.

Coed News for the Sailors.

BY a recent Act of Congress. it
will be seen that previous to the lst
of July all sailors and others on all
manner of sail or steam vessels were
compelled to pay tax of 40 cents
per month, which went to the Marine
Hospital fund This tax was taken
out ofthe wages of sailors by masters
of vessels and paid to the collector of
customs. The Dingley shipping bill
abolished this tax and provided that
the hospital marine service should be
supported out of the tonnage tax
from the lst of the present month
Sailors and commanders are pleased
at the new arrangement, as it saves
money to the one and rids the other
ofthe trouble of collecting the tax.

The County Commissioners vs., the Puh
lie Roads.


The charge that the present Board
of County Commissioners has made
extravagant appropriations for public
roads can hardly be maintained in the
light of past expenditures. In 1878,
the following sums were expended on
public roads: lst dist. 50, 233. 05 /;
I'd, S2,5o6.72; 3rd, So, 3,209.25; 4th,
$I,755.6S 9th. 81, ,S55.53 !; Sth,
$4,l22 p; Annapolis, $1,000. Total
l7,SS2.4S. The sum spent this year
$l4,20T.27 Is about the average of
each year, being only $400, in excess
of the average for ten years past, and
all other excess is on account of bills
unproyided for in 1882. The expen-
diture in the 5th, in 1874, was 81, 900.

good manners much better than the re-
publican convention understood them.
The New York Evening Post says:
''There is nothing at all comparable to
the Blaine yell heard in the streets or
anywhere else, and the galleries are not
packed with shouters in the interest of
any particular candidate. If there is a
rebel yell present among the delegates, it
has been heard by nobody except the
Tribunes bard, whose refrain we alluded
to yesterday. But even the bard must
admit that a rebel yell, at its highest de-
velopment cannot approach the Blaine
yell as it was described in the Tribune on
the day after the nomination. A shrill
yell, as of thousands of wild animals,
went through the hall. 1t was the soul
