Rear Admiral Davis, commanding
the Asiatic station, in dispatch to
the Navy Department, dated Shang-
hai, October 2, says the Enterprise
sailed from Shanghai for Tung Foo
Chow and CheefoO because of com.
munication forwarded BY the consul
to the United States missionaries.
The commanding officer of the Enter
prise reports frsm that place that no
tears of an outbreak by the Chinese
exist. 1t was the intention of the ad-
miral to cross the bar. at Shanghai
with the Trenton and Juniata at the
next high tide, probably October 6.
The Juniata would be sent to Nagas-
aki in connection with the closing up
of a storehouse at that place.
The Ossipee was to remain at
Shanghai until relieved by the Mono
cacy, when the latter would come to
Shanghai for a new boiler. The
Shanghai general chamber of CON-
merce had been in communication
with the United States naval and
consul authorities in regard to the
proposed blocking of Huang Poo
river. 1t was desired that the work
of closing the river should be done
with as little injury as possible, and
in charge of competent persons under
the Chinese government, so that no
permanent injury would be done to
the navigation of the river. 1t re-
quired an opening of at least 200 feet
for the Trenton to pass through in
safety.
The United States steamer PhIox
has returned to the Naval Academy

The Oyster Season.

Since the first of the present month
the oyster dredgers, says the Sun,
have been at work in the Chesapeake
bay and Potomac river. Report from
all the oyster counties show greater
aggregate of licenses to tongmen than.
ever was known before, and the mum.
Der of licenses to dredgers has risen
to LOO. Some restriction on the
wholesale raids upon the natural beds
has been attempted by the law re-
quiring culling to te done on the bars
and the small oysters returned to the
waters to grow. If this provision is
voluntarily complied with or enforced
it will be something in the way of
preservation, but from the activity
with which oystermen OF all sorts are
beginning the season, there is ground
for apprehension that the natural beds
will very soon be unable longer to
afford supplies. It will probably be
our experience that not until complete
exhaustion of these sources takes
place will the wise and remunerative
practice of Connecticut, Rhode Is
land, New York and Massachusetts,
oyster farming find any considerable
following in Maryland, where there
are better facilities and greater natur-
al advantages than in any other
waters on the Atlantic coast.

Coming Home to Vote.

A large number of Annapolitans
whose families reside here, and who
are compelled to seek employment in
neighboring cities, reached here yes
terday in order to cast their votes to-
day, and in consequence our streets
present quite an active appearance.
Some who have taken the trouble and
expense to reach here that they might
help to swell the majority of their
choice for president, were greatly dis
appointed to discover that their names
had been stricken from the book of
of registration, in consequence of hav-
ing lost their residence. They will
have to wait another four years be-
fore they can have the privilege of
voting for the next President. Had
they been posted on the registration
law they might have saved their
time and expense, and also their vote.
A person residing for. six months or
more with his family in another por.
tion of the State looses his former
residence, and must either get trans
ferred or be deprived of voting. The
register is obliged to strike from the
list all persons so residing that is
brought to his notice. It seems un-
just that man shall be deprived of
his vote, but such is the law, and at
the same time the law makes provis-
ion for his transfer to his new place
of residence, therefore, he alone is re-
sponsible Tor his disfranchisement.

During a political meeting in the
Third district on Friday night last,
at which Mr.. Ferdinand v. Rosen
was one of the speakers, q colored
man named Jacob III. Owings at
tempted to enter bis residence by
means Of ladder which he had pro-
cured and set up against the second
story window. The noise aroused
the housekeeper, Mrs. Emma Creuger,
who perceiving the burglar. seized 9
revolver of Rosen's and pointed it at
the intruder in a threatening manner,
which caused him to retreat. A war;
rant was issued for his arrest and he
was brought to this city yesterday
and lodged in jail.
Geo. Stewart, colored, has been
placed in jail as witness in the case
of VIM Parker, colored, charged with

The Election.

The election has passed off with
great quietness here, but there was
vigor in it, BY noon half the vote Of
the city had been polled-each of the
three wards having cast about 800
votes. Only three votes had been re-
jected of all who offered to vote, and
one of these Charles I'll. Hopkins, a
democrat in the second ward, did not
have his name on the registration
list. The Republicans set themselves
bravely to work, to stop dissenters
from voting against Mr.. Holton as
they have been threatening since DIR.
Bishop, colored, was turned down as
a delegate to the Congressional Con-
vention. The leaders were able in a
large measure to prevent any exten.
sive cutting. Mr.. Compton was cut
little by some democrats. Up to
noon three votes had been cast for st.
John and Daniel. These were voted
by Asst. Professor w. w. Davis of
st. Johns College, Josiah II. Rus
sell and George Hyde. No one had
been found so gallant as to vote for
Mrs. Lockwood. Gen. Butler was
not even so much as mentioned.

The Louisville Commercials Wash

The Louisville Commercials Wash
ington correspondent gives this poin-
ter in regard to Senator-elect Henry
B. Paync's Presidential aspirations;
"The Payne Presidential boom is
undoubtedly in the hands of the me-
chanics, who are working day and
night on it. Oliver Payne, the veal
thy son and standard oil representa-
tive, and John II. Mclean, are here
in that interest. The claim is to be
made that Payne can carry both New
York and Indiana, and is certain OF
Ohio as against Arthur, the most
probable candidate. The New York
Sun has said that Mcdonald cannot
carry that State, but it is believed
that that paper would favor Payne
upon his conservative tariff platform.
AS to Indiana an effort is making
now to control the politics of that
State by means Of large Standard Oil
g Company investments there. 1t is a
neat scheme as laid down, and if mon
ey can win the Presidency Payne has
got enough to secure the prize. II
won Senatorship for him."
If Senator McDonald's boom is not
nursed very carefully, it will subside
in the face of the strenuous efforts
that will be put forth in behalf of Mr.
Payne.

STUDY OF HUxAN NATURE.

The teacher arose Immediately after he
called the school to order. There was
a look of pain on his gentle face, and he
seemed to be feeling for an apple in his
coat-tail pockets. but he was not. He
was feeling for something, but it was not
an apple, and it was not in his pocket.
He glanced around the school, and every
face was either oblivious or mischievous,
except Walter Cranes. Walter Cranes
face, bent over his Latin grammar, had
such a profoundly studious expression,
it was SO sublimely free from guile, it was
SO angelically innocent, the teacher called
him to the big desk, and, as Walters
wondering eyebrows arched themselves
into silent but expressive interrogation
points, the teacher handled a long switch
and said: Eyes, Walter, yes; it was
very neatly done; and now If you will
Just stand out here for one minute will
show you just about where that pin
caught me"
And he showed him not once, but
many times, to the great disgust Of stu
dious Walter Crane, and the infinite de
light of all the rest Of the school, ant
more especially big Sammy johnson
Did Walter Crane really put the pin il
the teachers chair, children. All, no
indeed and truly he didn't know any
thing about it. 1t was big Sammy John
son, who grinned and rubbed his hand
every time Walter "hollered," who di'
it. Thus we see that fometimes in tn
study of physiognomy the wisest teache
will, as Herodotus observes, "bite o.
more than he can chew"
