1t is understood that an effort is on foot
by the tobacco merchants of Baltimore city
to get up table Of figures by which it
will appear that considerable contribu-
ton to the Tobacco Warehouse Sinking
Fund has been made by the charges for
inspecting tobacco grown outside of the
State of Maryland; and thereby to endea-
vor to defeat to that extent the property
rights of the tobacco growers in the tobac-
co warehouses in Baltimore city, and thus
endeavor to lay some kind of foundation
for the sale of the warehouses, which is
their sole object in all this agitation. The
amount derived from that source is in
point of fact uncomfortable, but however
great it might be, it would not tend at
all to impair the equitable property rights
OF the Maryland growers The system was
originated at their solicitation and they as-
sumed to pay the whole expense of the
same. They have never sought to avoid
heir responsibility, and the State has been
nlly Unidentified from any expense in that
behalf Now it will be seen that any &C.
erection that may have been made to the
fund by tobacco from the West, voluntarily
stored in our warehouses and inspected,
would be proper incident of the system
and would Justly enure to the benefit OF
those who originated it and became res
ponsib'e for it, the State being merely a
trustee in the matter. These contribu-
ticns stand on exactly the same footing as
the sums derived from the outside use OF
the wharf property appurtenant to the
warehouses, which have always been ac-
knowledged to be proper increment of
the Tobacco Fund.

The ironclad oath, one of the most IN.
slightly relics Of the reconstruction era
says the Baltimore Sun, will doubtless be
numbered among the things that were be-
fore the close of the present session Of
Congress, the House on Monday, by the
decisive vote of 1S5 to 1 1, having suspend
ed the rules and passed bill repeating

There. is no reason why the Senate shall
not dispose of the bin as speedily and ef-
fectually when it reaches that body, and
thus rid the statutes of law for which
there is no possible use.

The COW which gives beer instead OF
milk by feeding her on hops, malt and
corn is not Western joke but reality
A scientific German farmer named Hers
heimer, in Dakota, reached the result after
many experiments. The produce, accord
ing to one who has tried it, sis of light
brown color, effervescing, forming a
creamy foam on soap, aGd tastes delicious"
The foam on top, especially if there's
much of it, is strong proof that it is very
like the beer sold at five cents glass.

The defeat of Senator Pendleton, as SEN
a.or from Ohio has given rise to the charge
from Republican sources that the Demo-
Gratis are opposed to practical reforms in
the civil service of the government. The
Senator's defeat seems to be due entirely
to his authorship of the civil service re-
form bill but then it is not fair to charge
the Democracy of the whole country with
the action of majority OF the Legislature

THE LIONS GOVERNMENT.


A lion. who on state afnrs was set
Looked round about TO form his cabinet.
"A court. and legislature TOO, was sought.
For whichthe elephants to him were brought;
But, finding them so few and incomplete,
The asses too were summoned 10 seat.
BY which the government. as II appears.
Found its majority in donkeys cars.
The lion-king was foolish one would say.
TO scatter Offices In such a way;
For no one. surely. knew 50 we'll rs he
That strength goes not with mere majority.
Bot In this way his fathers ruled before.
And what had been must be for evermore:
The hercsy he hated to ineur
Was TO be wiser than his fathers We're,
II folly in numbers wisdom far SURPRISES,
He would have folly and the herd Of assesl
And then. thought he. the elephants discourse
Will nentralize the stupid asininity.
For wisdom il. Of course. superior force.
And with such denseness has no true affinity;
But. oh, the asses folly took the lead
Tho elephants nobody cared TO heed.
This shows how such rule all hope harnesses
The elephants Henseirss Qfeao dull as asses :!

Royal Jra cfngs.

Truth says it is foolish to claim
royal descent. A late sexton at a
fashionable West End church traced
his descent direct to Edward Ill,
while small butcher in country
town could show pedigree from
Edward of Woodstock, son of Edward
l., and tall.keeper in the same neigh
horhood traced from Thomas, Duke of
Gloucester. The last of the great
Northumberland family of Umfre-
villes of Prudhoe, kept small chand-
ler's shop at Newcastle, and the lineal
descendant of the 0'Neal's, Kings of
Ireland, was coffin.maker in Dublin

"That'll do. It's gone, and you'd
better go, too" he suggesiively added,

turning to the young man Mt the end of
the bar. You are the fortieth man
who has called here today about that
miserable old cotton umbrella he
added, addressing the reporter. There

because it insures the riches. SO long

edged signature to be good in the eyes
of the cashier in these days, my boy.

shot. And a tolerable good" name
isn't good, any more than "tolera-

ployed James l.. Butler as attorney.
