ssTHE DAY.
142 W. Baltimore Street,
Baltimore Md.

THE USUAL RESULT. not to be de-
MED that a good sewing machine is one of
the most important appurtcnanccs Of the
modern household.
We thought we had good machine in
our household until one day the agent ofthc
Nen 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 leaving one of his machines with us, for
the ladies to try
The request was not unreasonable so we
granted it--but more to oblige the agent
than anything else; for really we did not
want the machine, and had not the remotest
idea of buying 1t.
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 dccry 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 genuine
beauty and a real comfort, and "our folks
wanted us to tell other folks about it.
This unrivallcd machine is manufactured
by the NEW HOME SEWING MACHINE
CO., 30 Union Square, New York, who wish
us to say that all who will send for their new
illustrated catalogue and enclose their advcr-
tisement printed in another column) will
receive set of fancy advertising novelties,
of value to those collecting cards. &c

Newspaper Law Decisions.
A Tidal Wave of Re.
In Frederick County.

A most remarkable cOndltlOn or al
fairs exists in this county to-day. A
violent reform spasm has seized upon
the body polite of the county and we
now have the gratifying spectacle of
eager and anxious men, treading on
each others heels in the mad rush to
the front at Annapolis, with some of
the most admirable and excellent re-
form propositions that have ever been
sounded in the ears Of a ong-sufering,
oflice-ridden people.
Whence came this movement?
To whom do the people who pay the
taxes in Frederick county owe this sud-
den onslaught, that is being made upon
evils that have existed, unmolested, for
years?
Has it entered into the minds of any
one, that it is to the men, who lead and
direct the two political parties in the
county, that this movement is due? If
there are such, we would respectfully
refer them to the "silence Of the clam .
that has pervaded the conventions of
either party upon the points now at
issue.
No, reader, if there has ever any
thing occurred relating to county af-
fairs, capable Of being accounted for
with mathematical precision and with
the stubborn truth Of an axiom, it is,
that, the present movement in the in
terest of meaning and practical re
form, has been inaugurated, intelligent
ly debated and strongly pressed home
upon the minds of the people by The
PRESS of the county.
We are proud now to recall times
when, alone, we again and again called
attention to the very matters that are
now being considered times when we
almost felt ashamed Of our persistence,
but believing that we were right and
that we could say nothing too severe,
so long as the facts warranted the utter
ance, We believed that we should force
hearing and now We know that we
have. THE CLARION proudly asserts
its right to the honor of having not
only been the first to show up the
wrongs that We're being Practised, but
asserts its further right to being con-
sidered the single instrument that
forced the issue into prominence and as
such, entitled to whatever of honor may
accrue from the movement. Some may
think that more modest assertion of
our claims in the matter would better
become country newspaper, but, as in
this world of push and selfish endeav-
or, modesty rates very low in the mar
ket of possibilities that 60 to make up
success, We have chosen to invest in the
gilt-edged collaterals, boldness, and
conceit, in this instance and what is
more, weparrose sticking it.
We have not the assurance to claim
that, alone, we gould have compassed
the result; far from it and to the 9TH
er country weeklies, who came bravely
up to our support, we offer our congrat.
ulations upon victory that has been
achieved almost solely by us.
1t should be a source of profound
qualification to us to witness the DIES.
perate scamper that is now going on
amongst the politicians, who are eager,
each to reap the larger share of the re-
ward of public favor, for their share in
carrying out thoroughgoing reform in
this county.

POLICEMAN AND MAID.
The Young Woman Treated by the other
with Great Dignity ana Success.

NcO York Sun.
An austere and inexoraD,e policeman stood
on the northeast corner of Fifth avenue and
Fifty-sixth street yesterday and gazed
stolidly on the areas on the opposite side of
the way. He had the air of solidity and re-
serve power common to members of tho
force.
A trim maid, wearing calico dress, n
white apron, French cap, and Hibernian
smile, emerged from q neighboring house and
trippod toward the policeman. She nodded
pleasantly, but with an expression of deep
respect. The policeman wheeled about and
stared at her coldly and impassively.
" It's foin weather were havin'," said the
maid, cheerfully, but timidly.
The policeman looked her over solemnly.
He was Of large girth. had q moustacho that
was red at the root, black in the middle, and
yellow at the ends, and his oyelids dropped
far down over his eyes. The maid looked at
him revercntially. Her eyes wandered up
and down the brass buttons of his coat and
dropped to his square-toed boots.
" l hear" she said, "as how yo whit over
to see Mary Brannagan last evenin' ?"
g wuZ,"
"Wuz what p
"Wuz wint," said the officer, sedately. The
maid tossed her nose in tho air-so to speak
and remarked snappishly
she has wart on her car, an she's only
second upstairs girl. Why didn't you como
an SEQ me2"
For the first time the policcman's face as
sumed smile. 1t was q thoroughly reserved
and digniled smile. Then he said carelossly {:
"Oi wus at your house last week, an OF loft
hungry-Mary Brannagan got mo full"
"Oh, the cooks all right now, sure. Come
this avenin' an I'll trate We well-ah, do
come, will YEP"
The smile spread into broad and gratified
grin, and the eyes half closed. Then he
chucked the pretty maid under the chin,
swelled out his chest, remarked in loud
voice, "Betcher life," and resumed the
austere and memorable manner that ho wore
before.
| The pretty face of the tidy maid flushed
with pleasure as she tripped away, looking
back occasionally to smile at the ponderous
guardian of tho peace, who did not bestow
another glance upon her, but stared with
| pursed lips straight in front of him as before.
Presently he turned around to man who
stood hard by, winked with immense signif-
cameo, and remarked:
| Observation-Disclosures
| "No, she's a very neat sort of girl"
"She's my sort" said the officer, waxing
confidential, can my sorts the right sort
long fur to make errors. You kin gamble on
wan thing-the waitin' maids is the best
They're higher toneder, an they has pull
wild the cook. A good many coppors makes
love to the cook herself, but Oh never fell as
low as that. Oh stands in wild tn maids, an
me suppers an breakfasts is immense.
Eyer don't want ter be too free wild thin
though, er they'll trate ye wild contumelly,'
he added as he brought forth a package o.
tobacco reduced it by half, returned it to hi
pocket shook himself together again, aut
stood as before. LET thin respect ye an
yer meals III be warrum."
With which he winked again and strolled
up Fifth avenue with the swagger of plum
Der on Sunday afternoon.

Wounds OF Generals in Action.


A curious article might be written on the
immunity from wounds in action of some
generals, and the ill-fortune of others in be-
coming the billet for IL bullet No com.
mander was ever more forward in the fight,
ing line than Sheridan, yet he never got q
scratch. Skobeetf, who many time went
at it with his own good sword, and in his
W hite coat and on his white charger headed
very charge with o recklessness that men
call madness, had as complete an immunity
as if he carried the charmed life that his SOL
diers ascribed, and was wounded only in the
quiet trenches by chance bullet fired into
the air mile away. Wellington was but
once hit the bullet that carried away his
boot heel scarce gave him a confusion.
Grant was never struck; no more was Napo-
leon, OF Sir Neville Chamberlain again, one
of the most distinguished officers of our In
dian army, the saying goes that he never
went into action without receiving wound,
and the gallant old man has been fighting
pretty steadily ever since the first Afghan
war. Bazaine was man to whom fortune
was not stingy in the matter of wounds. At
Borny there came to him the leadon re-
minder that he was mortal, though this time
it was but n gentle hint. The fragment of a
shell hit him on the left shoulder but it had
been well spent, and because of the protcc-
tion of the cpauletto gave him but contu-
sion, from which he had pain for several days,
especially when on horseback.

THE MARKETS.
Another Day Of Very Decided BOuyanCy in
Stocks.
Union Pacific Leading and Dragging the
Market Along Up.
Speefdl Dispnich.


NEW YORK, Feb. 19.-The market opened
with general disposition to sell and with
heavy offerings by tho big bears Prices
were weak for nearly an hour, when tho bull
leaders came into the market and bought
freely. Stocks advanced sharply and many
shorts were caught. Union Pacific was the
main feature and loaned as high as per
cent. per day for use. There was considera-
BILE short coverings. Lackawanna was quito
active, and the pool brokers pushed it above
100.
Tho details Of the failure Of McGinnes
Bros. & Fearing were less bearish, and the
effects of the failure were neutralized by
efforts Of tho bull leaders During tho last
hours of trading rumor was circulated OF
another largo financial house being in trouble,
but no details transpired. The market closed
very strong.
Pullman was advanced just before closing,
when Slayback was endeavoring to cover
shorts in this stock. Bonds were fairly active
declining in the morning. but recovering in
the afternoon.
The professional bears wero jubilant last
evening; claimed Vanderbilt had stopped
trading and refused to buy any moro stocks
but this is believed to be false by the Wander.
bilt following.
The London stock market closed strong fol
American stocks at prices equivalent to pre-.
vailing New York quotations.
A private Chicago dispatch says tho storm
in Dakota was so severe that there is nc
travel. 1t is affecting the Chicago grain
markets.
An Albany dispatch says q bill has been
