Tobacco Warehouse No Decision

Tobacco Warehouse No Decision
Ia Favor Of Inspector krOh.-As the In
DEPENDENT predicted the Court OF Appeals at
Annapolis on Thursday last decided that
Philip A Kroh, Of Baltimore county is the
Inspector of State Tobacco Warehouse No 2,
hy virtue Of the appointment and commission
OF the Governor, and that Andrew j Smoot,
appointed in 1882 to fill vacancy IN an I'M
expired term, has no title 10 the Office Cnlei
Judge Alvey in delivering the opinion Of the
Court Of Appeals relied upon the express Ian
gusge Of the constitution that the appoint
ment aud commission Of an officer appointed
until the end Of the next session Of the Leg
islaturs, or 'until some other person is ap-
pointed to the same office, whichever shall
fret occur" When the Legislature adjourn
I'D Smoot's commission ceased, and all his
title TO the Office was at an end His position
differed from that of Somerville, The appellee
ia the case of Smoot VS.. Somervlle, because
the latter was regularly appointed for full
term, and was entitled to hold until the quail
i6cation Of his successor, but in this case
Smoot's commission has expired by its terms,
There was therefore a vecsncy in the ofic
and the Governor had the right to fill it,
which he did by the appointment Of Kroh.-
The associate judges concurring with Judge
Alvey we're Miller, Irving Richie and Yel-
lott
Kroh took formal possession Of the office on
Saturday LAST j T. NJ. Rsley of St Mary ;
was appointed Deputy Inspector, for the pur-
pose issaid ofinfuenceing tobacco fromlower
counties to the Warehouse. Dr. Smoot we
learn will return TO his home in this county

Public Colored Schools have been ordered
closed for month and a hif-making three
hfhs Of a school term Of closure We ara in
formed that this action OF the School Board,
NJ the notice recites, is for building purposes
and is occasioued from the fact that two
Churches and several Frccdman'S Bureau
Houses are still used in the county for schoo
purposes The School Board his found from
experience that it is important for them to
have entire control of the buildings used Tor
school purposes and last year 10y similar

four new buildings for the use Of CoIored

the transfer Of one white school house to the

Parsley IN Winter.

It is very easy to have a supply Of
parsley all winter. Take up the plants
from the garden, cut off all but a few
small leaves at the centre of the tuft,
and plant them in box of good soil.
Another method is to take d :keg-a
nail keg will answer; bore numerous
inch OF inch-and-a-half holes in its
sides. Place the parsley with the
crown at the holes, and the roots ex-
tending horizontally into the keg,
gradually filling in with earth to keep
them in place. Finish by planting
some roots upright at the top. Either
box or keg, if supported at, q Kitchen
window and watered as needed; will
give supply of fresh leaves all winter.
The residents of cities who have no
gardens, can buy parsley for this pur-
pose in the markets, as it is usually
sold with the roots attached. Those
who are fond OF parsley as seasoning,
and do not care to be at the trouble of
raising it as above, may dry it readily
and find it about as good as when
fresh. Spread the leaves thinly on a
pan; when the stove oven is not very
hot, place this in it, and leave the door
open. The parsley will dry very quick
ly; as soon as it is crisp, rub it between
the hands into a powder, which is to
be kept in bottles, tightly closed

without detecting their presence by

The Tallast of Traea.

Though there is every probability
that California's big tree will maintain
it's supremacy as the most massive col
umn in the worlds forest;: it must per-
force yield the palm Of the altitude to
the Australian eucalyptus. In the val
ley of the Watts River, Ii in Victoria,
many fallen trees have been measured
as they lie on the ground, and found TO
exceed $50 feet in length. One mighty
giant had fallen so as to form bridge
across d deep ravine. It had been bro
ken in falling but the portion which
remained intact measured 435 feet in
length, and as.its girth at the point OF
fracture is 8 feet Its discoyerer esti-
mates that the perfect tree must have
measured fully 500 feet: It's ci1'cumfer-
ence, five feet above the roots, is 54 feet
Another gum tree on Mount w ellington
was found to be 102 feet in girth at 8
feet from the ground. Its height could
not be estimated owing to- the density
of the forest. But it's next neighbor,
which was ninety feet in circumference,
was found to be 800 in height. In the
Dandenong district of Victoria an al
mond leaf gum tree Eucalyptus ,amyg-
dalina) has been carefully measured,
and is found to be 430 feet in height.
1t rises $50 feet before throwing out a
branch; its circumference is sixty feet.
Tasmania also produces specimens Of
eucalyptus which are 350.feet in height
and which rise 200 feet ere forming q
branch. One near Hobart TOWN. is nine
ty-six feet in girth; and, ten years ago.
lowered to a height Of 300 feet, but is
now a ruin. The question5of suprema-
cy is, however, confined to the altitude,
for the unlidy looking eucalyptus, with
its ragged and tattered gray bark hang
ing about it IN such a sIovenly fashion,
can never contest the palm of might OF
majesty with the stately eedars, whose
magnificent GOLDEN red shafts tower on
high like the futed marble columns Of
some vast cathedral. Al the Year

Slavery in ENGLAND.

The pleasing notion that there is mo-

marks the London Truth, is rather rude.
" shaken by an extraordinary story
which was told the other day in the
Croydan Police Court. A lodging house
keeper applied for a summons against
one OF the lodgers for systematically
in-treating a little negro boy, whose
screams she had often heard through
the door. The boy had been purchased
in Africa as 8 servant, and when the
lady demonstrated with her lodger for
his cruelty, he replied: ooh! he is only
. colored child; and, besides, he be-
longs to my brother" The landlady' S
interference seems to have been visited
on the little boy, who had his wrists
tied together, and was hung UP to q
hook on the wall of the room. Is.
