A FaYorIte EYening Resort.

During the charming summer
weather with which Annapolis
has been blessed, the State House
Hill has proven the most inviting re-
sort for our people, who betake them
selves thereto every evening and
who seem to enjoy the pleasant
seats that have been so suitably ar
ranged thereabout. There are only
two things wanting on the Hill, and
they are few more shade trees and
a few more seats. The latter should,
by all means, be supplied at once. If
we mistake not, the last Legislature
appropriated some seven hundred
dollars for the benefit of the Hill and
made our worthy Librarian the re-
pository thereof. We are sure that
all that is required is to call the at
tention of DR.. Duvall to the matter
and the necessary and much needed
seats will be forthcoming. By all
means let us have the seats, DR..

in the solemn ceremonies. There
will be ample time between now and
Tuesday next to make and perfect
whatever arrangement that may be
necessary IN the premises. We

Dragged by a Cow.

Yesterday afternoon Gloucester
street was the scene of no little
amusement at the expense ola color
ed boy and cow. The boy was
driving to pasture a cow to whose
horns was attached a long rope. At
one time the rope slipped from the
boys grasp and the cow was fast get
ting beyond reach when a passing
citizen stepped on the rope, and to
the boys great satisfaction the COW
was once more restored in his keep
ing. To secure his charge more firm
ly the boy wrapped the rope around
his waist when, by a sudden maneu
yer, the cow started off, the boys legs
became entangled in the rope and he
was dragged in the dirt for some dis
tance at his discontinue. The boys
distress was made manifest 10 the
surrounding community by his yells
for help and when assisted to get
on his feet once more he remarked,
"Well boss, | didn't know whether l
was riding on the oyster shells or on
the cow, / was dat scared"

shewould have attempted suicide. The

Reprehensible Conduct.

While party of youngsters were
amusing themselves, this morning,
opposite our Office on the green
sward in front of the City Hotel, le
OF the party, possessed of more devil
try than the rest, threw upon the
instep of a little fellow, standing near
by, some burning sulphur. In an
instant the ska was taken from that
portion of the foot it touched, leaving
a raw, smarting wound. Such repre-
hensiBle conduct should be severely
punished, and if the parents of the
boy that was guilty of such an act
failed to meet out just punishment,
the father of the injured youth should
seek other redress.

Juvenile PugiIiStS.


On Conduit street, in front of the
CAPITAL Office this morning, quite an
incident of amusement occurred in
the nature of pugilistic tumble. 1t
required two to play the game, and
it only lacked the prerequisites of a
regular prize ring encounter. Two
youngsters, who should have been at
home under their mothers apron
strings, bantered each other to knock
the "chip from off his shoulder" AS
quick as. John l.. Sullivan could have
done it, one of the aspiring ring game
ste"s, with young muscular power, let
drive a "sockdoliger" at the face of
his opponent and tumbled him over
on the pavement. The little victim
soon recovered, however, and arming
himself with goodly supply of bricks
pursued his antagonist who shew
the white feather" and took to his
heels and skipped, remembering, no
doubt, that "he who fights and runs
away, shall live to fight another
day."
