A Just Claim.

The enforced loan of 100000 ma de
by Gen. Early the rebel general, OF
Frederick City in July 1864, may now
certainly be considered just debt due
by the general government and as such
should be paid.
Frederick was loyal town in 1864
as loyalty went in those days and when
Early made his demand of 100000 it
was forthcoming, because the people
recognized that otherwise, by fire, their
losses might be much greater; in other
words, Frederick paid money to save
damages and as hundreds of thousands
of dollars have been paid to individu-
ais by the Border Claims Commission
for direct damages, we cannot under
stand why Fredericks indirect damag-
es are not as rightfully due her.
We are not sure that we see it as an
unquestioned act of propriety, 60 before
the Legislature of the State in the
shape of demand for payment by the
State, yet we are not ready to say that
the State should not pay it.
Looking at it in the light already laen-
toned, that is, as loan enforced by
the threat and accorded through the
fear of damages, we cannot understand
why the general government should not
be the direct source Of repayment ;
looking at it from the standpoint of a
loyal state, which had voted upon but
declined to 60 into secession, it should
certainly with that act assumed to pro-
tect all of it's citizens against the enemy
it had declared itself against, it being
entitled to look to the general govern
ment for its support.
If the protection that State is re-
quired to afford its citizens, individu-,
ally or collectively, in time of peace,
may be considered as being as surely
binding in time of war, then Freder-
ick's claim upon the TREASURY Of the
State is just one; if by the accident
of war, a State is absovsd from such

pelles hung it. Remove the veil,
said the painter of the grapes. "There
is nothing to remove was the reply.
1.-THE veil is the picture" Leouses had
to acknowledge himself beaten, for
while his picture had deceived but the
birds, the other had deceived even his
rival.
"What is the true inwardness of the
Heber Newton matter. Why is Rev.
DR.. Newton singled out by almost the
entire Episcopal clergy as an object of
attack, and why are they so determin-
ed to drive him out of the church" ? I
asked of an Episcopal Clergyman
''The whole sum and substance of the
natter said he, lis that the attack is
levelled not so much upon Newton
himself, as upon Assistant Bishop Pot.
ter and Bishop Potter. Rev. DR.. Nor
gan Dix has been aspiring for the As
sistant Bishopric for years, with the
Interior object of eventually becoming
Bishop of the Diocese. Like his ances-
tor, the late Governor Dix, he has come
to the conclusion that nothing was i'm
possible to him, provided he wished it
strongly. With the purpose of making
him the next Bishop of the Diocese of
New York, the entire Trinity Church
influence has been brougt to bear for
years. Chapels have been endowed,
charities have been aided solely for this
purpose. Now he finds himself baked,
his march of progress arrested, and his
dreams nullifed by Potter. Hence he
and his entire clan have made up their
minds to revenge themselves and they
have found that the best and keenest
way to strike the Potters was through
Dr. Newton. AS regards Newton, no
one need fear anything for him. He
is an honorable man, clear, logical
thinker, and one who has the courage
to speak out his convictions. He will
outlive and live down the attacks of
the petty souls in the ministry who
have made it an object to attack
him.

THE UsrAL RESULT. 1t 8 not to be de-
MED that good sewing machine is one Of
the most important appurtenanccs of the
modern household.
We thought we had a good machine in
our household until one day the agent of the
Neic Home presented himself at our door
and proceeded to deliver an Grafton upon its
characteristic merit.
But we answered, "our machine serves
us nicely and suits us well, and we do not
care for another"
The agent, however, begged the privilege
of lcaving one of his machines with US, "for
the ladies to try"
The request was not unreasonable so we
granted il--but more to oblige the agent
than anything else; for really we did not
want the machine, and had not the rcmotest
idea of buying it.
The machine once in the house, it was nat
ural that the ladies should look it over; they
did so, and as consequence fell in love
with it. They say that without the slight
est wish to decry or disparage any other
machine, this, all things considered, is, in
their opinion, the most desirable one to be
had
The upshot of the whole matter was that
the old machine was disposed Of and the
Light Running New Home" installed in
our household. 1t is pronounced a genuine
beauty and real comfort, and 'our folks"
wanted us to tell other folks about it.
This unrvalled machine is manufactured

tisement printed in another column,) will

Our Delegation at Annapolis.

The Frederick County delegation in
the Maryland Legislature can not af.
ford to ignore the fact that the people
of the county have at last realized to
the fullest extent the injustice being
done them in the matter of inordinate-
ly large salaries paid certain officials
and it behooves them, as the represen-
tatives of the county's interests, to give
mark Of their ability and honest in
tention to act for the good Of the whole
people.
The discussion that has run through
the columns of FIVE of the county pa
pers, must teach them that a vital
question has been brought before the
people and that those five papers but
reflect the sentiment and opinion of
every citizen Of this county that is
moved and governed by other than
selfish considerations, or that is not con-
tent to see the public plundered in Or
der that political offices may, by their
extraordinary wealth-giving power,
lead men to Herculean efforts to retain
the party in power, in order that they
or their friends may be elected or ap-
pointed to such offices.
Our Senator and our Members of the
House of Delegates should inform
themselves full " as to the reasons why
Frederick county is called upon to en-
rich men holding the offices Of magis-
trate, constable and sheriff, in man
ner and to an extent known in no 9TH
er county in the state. They should
inform themselves as to the sharp leg
islation that has made possible such a
state of affairs and should make it pat
cnt that such injustice should be un-
done and be equal to the requirements
in the way Of securing the repeal of
such vicious legislation and the enact
ment Of just laws in its stead. If they
assume that popular feeling has not
been deeply moved in this matter and
that they can afford to the ignore move
ment towards reform in this matter, as
being but spasmodic attempt on the
part of three country and two urban
newspapers to get an issue in season,
assuming that they represent nobody
and reflect bat their individual opin-
ions, they may waAen up, too late, to
An appreciation of the fact that "the
people of the county have had their
almost unanimous sentiment voiced
and that they have not filled the
measure Of their constituents require
ments.
We have had intimations that such
remedial Legislation would be had and
we shall hope that it may not end with
q newspaper correspondents report of
good intentions, but that our eyes may
shortly be gratifed by the reading Of
the introduction of such bills as may
be required to cover the case.

HOUSEHOLD NOTES.

A VERY SIMPLE and effective cure for
cinders in the eye is simply one or two
grains of tlaXseed. These may be placed
IN the eye without injury or pain to that
delicate organ, and shortly they begin to
swell and dissolve a glutinOus substance
that covers the ball of the eve, envelOping
any foreign substance that may be in it.
The irritation of cutting the membrane is
thus prevented, and the annoyance may
soon be washed out.
STEAK AND ONIONs.-If you wish to
improve upon the usual method of smoth-
ering beefsteak with onions, try this: Cut
one quart of onions in very small bits, not
over an inch long, and as thin as a sharp
knife will cut them. Let them lie in cold
water, with a good sprinkling of salt in
It, for half an hour. Drain them well and
fry them in deep frying-pan, with a good
deal of very hot lard in it. They will cook
Immediately, and be crisp and most eX-
cellent.
CRUMB CREDIBLE CAKEs.-Two cups
sour milk, or buttermilk, two cups stale
breadcrumbs, one-half cup sifted Graham
flour, one egg, well beaten, one teaspoon
full soda, dissolved in boiling water. Soak
the crumbs in the milk till soft, then work
till smooth, and add enough flour to bind
the mixture together; stir in the beaten
egg and dissolved soda; beat very hard

DIR. Abbott writes in Science that he
once found full-grown chipmunk in the
stomach of bullfrog; in another Of the
same species Rama Cdtesbydnd he found
an eighteen-inch garter snake which had
been swallowed by the frog while the
snake was in the act of swallowing a
mouse. The snake could not defend itself
while it had a mouse in its gullet, and the
frog took advantage of the fact. OF
course, no one will ind the story difficult
to swallow.
