TELEPHONE NOTES -Inasmuch rs our
suggestions, two weeks ago earned for US at
the hands of one of our contemporaries the
title OLA wise EDITOR We are inclined TO
further suggestions.
When sounds, like unto water spilled into
o pan of hot fat, abound in your 'phonc," go
into your safety pit" there's an electrical
storm brewing.
Lovers should frame full cipher alphabet
or should at least have the words love, dear
est heart, sweetness, forever, darling, own,
distraction and several score of others neces
sary to a complete and stirring love passage,
hidden by such commonplace words, as nap
kin, cheese, scrub headache, tircsome, folly
and then during the season of new onions
the telephone would conducc nightly to the
smoothing of the course of true love-
Remember that cuss words are prohibited
and that you are not even permitted to call
one "a fell of heller" for not being able
to make himself understood.
Don't be nervous when you ring "call."
Grind at it with decision, as though the
whole line belonged to you;lt makes the call
distinct.

SURolCAL.-During the progress ola game
of baseball last week, panel of fence gave
way under the weight of a long line OF on
lockers. One young man sustained severe
scalp wound, but the services of that handy
man, Amos Tccumseh, the barber, were rem
dered promptly and efficiently and he reports
the case as progressing SO auspiciously that
his most sanguine professional anxiety has
been decidedly ameliorated, or words to that
effect.

THAT Iron FENcE.-A town meeting has
been held in Frederick, with view of max
ing an organized effort to reviyity the pro-
iect that has been considered in the past, of
removing the iron railing from the court
yard and Transforming the grounds into a
park. We have never boen an admlrcr of
that bit Of space as it appears at present, nor
do we think that the removal of the fence
would damage any perspective now obtain
able, yet it does strike us as being a plot of
very circumscribed limits in which to do sut
ficient to warrant is cnnoblement by terming
or even conceiving it to be, other than what
it is, yard of very limited dimensions.
The pretense of making it a lawn, park
let, sort of nursery summer garden, or any
thing else Of like character, III which the
great county of Frederick might feel pride,
will, we fear, end in being a pretense, owing
TO the controlling circumstance Of lis lack of
superficial contents.
We favor the removal of the iron fence and
its sale by the present board of county COM
missioners, who may be relied upon to get
more for it than it is worth to the amount
thus realized, we would be willing to have
them add the sum that will be saved TO the
county, under the new 'jall and almshouse
law" by their compromise (?) with the sher-
if, after deducting from sad savings the
amount in which the printers have been
mucted and the sum, or remainder as the
case may be, applied to the identifying ofthe
grounds. If, by this plan, the fence should
be swallowed up and there be a deficit; a
thing possible, yea, verify; then bridge or
so less, or even month or two off of the
school year, might be worked in to balance
up the account We should be greatly pleas
ed to have us rid Of the unsightly railing,
but in this era of economy, even the neces-
sares we must have but the luxuries we can
dispense with, and there must be no expense
incurred in Identifying,

The old saying zone swallow doesn't make
spring" is played out we saw swallow
sitting too near to an English sparrow abode
last week and when that sparrow came home
that one swallow did make spring and
judging from the way the sparrow attended
to business, that one swallow will make a
spring every time under like circumstances.

WHOLESALE Standardization TWO
weeks ago several hennerics in this place
suffered from an attack by dogs and num-
Der of chickens were killed, but on Sunday
night last upwards of one hundred more
were killed, thirty six for Mr.. Van. B. Osler,
sixty six for Mr. L. Carmack and one badly
used up for Mr. John b. Gilbert. There is
no direct evidence against any, but several
dogs arc suspected and it is more than prob
able that buttons" will be laying around
loose for time. After the first raid, poison
was set and two dogs went over; now each
dog had letter employ the services of an an

THAT SQUIRREL LAw.-Onc of those hid
den mysteries of legislation by which the
acts of the body are circumyented has come
to light, though none the less mysterious.
A law permitting the killing Of squirrels on
ly between the dates August 18th and De-
cember Goth was passed by the late legisa-
ture of this State, but we find that when it
was put in form to receive the Governors
signature, the date June 18th had been sub
stituted for August 18th. The fact that a
fight was made for the date June 18th, rem
iers the error very suspicious one. If the
date got into the bill by sharp practice, those
who favored the other date will probably
feel better under the law as it is, than will
those who are responsible for the unwar-
rantsd charge 1t is possible however, that
inasmuch as the date August 18th got there
by an amendment that the date June 18th
remained by an oversight on the part OF
clerks

A Nuisance.

We have no disposition to waste effort
in combating those evils that may be re-
garded as inseparable from the present
constitution of society, nor to provoke
needless antagonisms by going on a cru
SADIE against vices that cannot be reformed,
but there are some things we have en-
dured until forbearance has ceased to be
a virtue and we make no apology for call
ing attention to the increasing frequency
and numbers Of loafers, tipplers, half
drunken and drunken men that several
evenings each week gather on the walk
on North Main street, sometimes
noisy, boisterous and vulgar,
obstructing travel and making such COM
pany as no well bred person, man or
woman likes to encounter. Many times it
is little better than section Of Five
Points and needs policeman as an ad-
vance guard and protection to those who
must pass on Legitimate business.
Saloons are bad enough at the best, but
if we must have them, there are some rules
of good society that their patrons ought
to be made to observe. We have men,
toned those of North Main street because
the condition OF things complained of does
not prevail to any such extent near any
others in town.
We appeal to the authorities to see if
this nuisance cannot be abated. If lar
ger police force is needed let us have it,
and let them have orders to compel pat
rons, after they have taken their drinks,
to move on, and not gather in companies,
terror to the weak and timid, an obstruc-
ton TO travel and the frequent occasion of
disorder.
The crowd that gathers on Baldwin,
Laundon, Windecker u Co.'S corner, es-
pecially on Saturday nights, though more
orderly, is still a. just cause of complaint.
The entire walk is filled by men who
seem obivious to the fact that any one
wishes to pass, and is held by them
through the whole evening, compelling
pedestrians to 60 off the walk or elbow
their way through such compact mass of
humanity, as would deter many from max
ing the attempt. If men could be made
to understand that the walks should be
left free to travel, and that if they wish
to visit they should gather in some more
retired place, much annoyance and COM
plant would be prevented.

A Good Report.

The following bit Of wit upon the part
of North Carolina girl comes to us from
the Greenbrier White Sulphur Springs, the
fashionable Virginia watering-place:
Among the regular habitues is Colonel
B., well preserved, handsome old
beau Of uncertain age, Hissociety record
is brilliant, and though he has raised
many hopes, yet season after season has
ended and the colonel has yielded his
liberty to none. His special strength is
pride of family, boasting as he does, in
season and out OF season, not only the
bluest South Carolina blood, but the most
direct Huguenot descent.
During the past summer there appeared,
fitting about the broad piazzas and
drawing-room, a bright dashing girl from
the "Land Of the Sky" The colonel, as
usual, began the scheme of monopoly,
and the ambitious young belle seemed
nothing loath to accord to him the coveted
position as chief Of staff. 1t began to be
whispered about that the colonel was
really in earnest for once in his life.
Those who knew him best and watched
him closest were sure that he was on the
eve of victory. His gait was more
martial, his manner more lofty, than ever
