 Hour of Twilight.

l sit beside the window,
 The sun sinks low in the west, 4. The day is slowly fading,
 The world is sinking to rest The heavens above are painted ,.
 In shades of crimson and gold, As the sun reflects upon them .-.... -F Like new world on an old. No sound save the song of the woodbird,
 Pouring forth it's sweetest lay, Breaks the quiet gathering round me,
 Or disturbs the dying day. AS I sit at this hour of twilight,
 AS the day is fading fast, My mind seems to turn from the present.
 Seems drifting back to the past. Back to the place of my childhood,
 Back to the home of my youth, Back to the cot on the hillside,
 Back to the vine-covered roof; Back to the place where I first saw the light, Back to my mountain home Oh sweet are the thoughts of those earlier
 years, s4 AS they come to me one by one. The crimsoned clouds have faded,
 They have lost the sunsets glow, And with the twilight shadows,
 Come the thoughts of long ago. Thoughts of boyish fancies,
 Gathered from youths golden store; Thoughts of joys and sorrows,
 That I knew in days of yore. I am bound by spell indefnable,
 l seem to be in maze, AS peering through the deepening shades, Dim faces meet my gaze. Faces of friends and loved ones,
 Faces of false and true, -s..~ Faces which a dusky curtain
 Hath hiden for years from my view. Faces of friends and kindred,
 Faces over which have wept, Faces of those who for years
 In the cold, damp grave hath slept; Faces of those whose memory
 shall cherish while life shall last, Hover around in the twilight,
 And bring with them thoughts of the past. Oh hallowed time of twilight! ..... Most sacred holy hour Strange indeed is my musing,
 Strange is your magic power % - You bring to me thoughts and feelings
 have not known for years; You bring to me joys and sorrows;
 You bring to me smiles and tears. My life comes up before me,
 And in the misty dream I see the days that are vanished,
 As mirrored in stream. ..s Each word, each thought, each action, Come plainly to my sight, As the dark and dusky shadows
 Deepen into the night. 8R The night has thrown it's mantle
 Der the dark and silent world, The weary will soon be slumbering;
 Night it's banner has unfurled. The woodbirds has ceased its warbling, Not sound falls on the ear All the world seems wrapped in silence,
 Utter darkness is drawing near. In the dawn of heavens morning,
 In the realm of pure delight, There they say there are no shadows:
 There they say there is no night. But if on earth there is one moment,
 Kindred to that region blest, lime of twilight! thou must be that,
 When the weary world seeks rest. ..r',EGs-@-t .aE -F. P. c.

Virginia, Nev., Chronicle: John l.. Sullivan, the Boston aesthete, had better get back to his Athenian gin-mill or he may be taken back in box. Wherever he has been in his western tour he has al- most invariably exhibited the brutal side of his character being simply the inside and outside-and insulted decent people by threatening to ''slap 'em in der jawr" or to ''mop der floor wid 'em.'' Some day he will tackle one of those inoffensive little fellows so common on the borders who are quick on the draw and who don't do their shooting under the Marquis of Queensber- ry rules. Then MT. Sullivan's slogging will be of no use to him, and he will wish he had cultivated pedestrianism more ex- tensively. Should he get knocked out with 8 pistol bullet on the first round there would be little mourning outside of his native Boston. The people are getting disgusted with him.

The Dividing Line.

The following is a copy of Mr..
Speicher's bill, now before the legis
lature, providing for the survey and
marking of the dividing line between
Garrett and Allegany counties:
A Bill Entitled an Act to provide for estab-
fishing, making, bounding and preserving
and recording the division line between
Allegany and Garrett Counties"
SECTION l. BE it enacted 6y the Gen
erdt assembly of Maryland, That the
County Commissioners of Allegany
and Garrett Counties be, and are here
by authorized to cause a survey to be
made of the division line between said
counties in accordance with Chapter
two hundred and twelve, Acts of
eighteen hundred and seventy. two,
which survey shall be made Jointly
by the County Surveyors of said two
counties, under the supervision of said
County Commissioners, or of such
committee as the Board of County
Commissioners, of both or either of
said counties may select, and said line
when so surveyed and ascertained,
shall be marked and bounded by said
surveyors in such manner as to af-
ford permanent means of identified
ton thereof, in order that the location
thereof upon the ground may be pre-
served, and said surveyors are hereby
directed and required to make out
and return to the Commissioners of
each of said counties, a complete re-
port of their proceedings in said mat
ter, giving full and comprehensive
description of said line and describ-
ing the appearance, location and posi-
ton of natural or artificial marks or
boundaries along said line not more
than one mile apart, and atfording all
other necessary information for re-
tracing said line at any time, and said
report shall be recorded in the Clerks
Office of the Circuit Courts of each of
said counties. and a certified CODY
thereof shall be received in evidence
in any Court of law or Equity in this
State, and the line so established, shall
be the legal line of division between
said counties. and each county shall
defray its own expenses in establish
ing said division line, and said SUR
vey shall be completed on or before
the first day of August, in the year
eighteen hundred and eighty.fOur.

Act shall take effect from the date of
its passage.

be at peace with the Democratic par
ty. There is no sign of Indifference
to Republican principles or to the
necessity of keeping the Government
in good hands to be seen in the good
natured tolerant, easy-gOing talk over
candidates now fairly beginning. We
hear no bitter denunciatiOns of one
candidate by the friends of another.
We hear no angry declarations that
A can't have the support of B, or that
C's nomination will cause an imme-
diate revolt of the friends of d. The
right of every Republican to his own
preference is freely recognized and
nobody proposes to get mad about it..
There is less slangwhanging and
abuse than we remember to have seen
in any recent Presidential year. The
newspapers and leading men are
calmly discussing Arthur. Logan and
others, who are understood to be can
didates, with Blaine, EdInunds and
others who are understood not to be
candidates, and usually end their re-
marks by saying that the nominee OF
the Convention, whoever he may be,
can have all of the Republican votes.
The almost entire absence of avow.
ed candidates is most favorable cir
cumstance. 1t leaves delegates free
from personal pressure to a greater
extent than before, and this will he a
great help to deliberate choice. So
far as we have been able to see. the
system of district representation will
be carried out in absolute good faith,
without any attempt from any quar-
ter to interfere with it. The unit rule
is dead. 1t had resurrection once
after being killed. but nothing can
revive it now. Everything promises
well for representative Convention.
containing large proportion of in

be one of the best, if not the very
best. that has met since the War.-N.

England and Free Trade.

The London Times of July 16 last
says:
ut is to the new world that the
Golden club is chiefly looking as the
most likely sphere for its vigorous
foreign policy. 1t has done what it
can in Europe, and it is now turning
its eyes westward and bracing itself
for the struggle which is to come. 1t
can not rest while the United States
are unsubdued. so it will go on plying
them with arguments and statis-
tics, with books and pamphlets and
speeches, until reason has at length
done its work and has dislodged pro-
lection from the great stronghold in
which it has entrenched ITSELF"
And again in the same article:
1--WE wish the Golden club the
best success in the arduous encounter
which lies before it. We hope Mr..
Augustus Mongredien'se excellent VOL
umes and the other publications of
the club will, between them, carry
the United State by storm and thrust
reason into all minds, whether will.
ing or unwilling to admit it. But we
dare not venture to he prophetic. We
have heard too many prophecies, and
have waited long and vainly for their
accomplishment. That free trade will
come some day in the United States
it is perfectly safe to assert but how
and when, and other minute of the
kind, must be left to the Golden club
and to its twelve cabinet ministers in
their unofficial capacity to decide"
The Times further informs us that
on the list of members of the Golden
CLUB are 200 members of parliament !;
and the secretary, Mr.. Potter. stated
at the recent banquet that "Of the IA
cabinet ministers, IL were members Of
the club" The action of the club in
interfering with our elections this
year is therefore practically the act of
the British government itself, and it
should arouse the deepest indignation
of the American people. This coun-
try is not ready to become the yassal
of Eng ish manufacturers. who want
our tariff reduced for their benefit and
not for ours.

Waking Up on the Presidency.

The masses of the Republican party
are beginning to take an interest in
the matter of the Presidency. The
general indifference upon the subject
which lasted so long was not to be
wondered at, herhaps. The earnest
contest of 1880, the controversy in
Washington and Albany in 1881, the
assassination of Garfield. and the
events that followed it, seemed to ex.
haust the political activity of the peo-
pie. Then, too, the political fashions
have changed for the better. In 1876
and 1880 there were half dozen can
didates avowedly seeking the nomi-
nation. Now there are hardly more
than two. In 1880 the whole party
was conyulsed by combination of
some of its leaders to nominate pop
ular hero for a third term, and fol-
lowing this came more calamities to
the Republican party. Nothing like
this situation exists to-day.
One of the best possible signs for
Republican success in the election thi
year is the thoroughly amicable char
acter of the discussion of Presidential
candidates which is springing up now
and which is reflected in our columns
from day to day. There is an old
theory among a certain class of pro-
fessional politicians that quarrels in a
party keep its blood moving, and put
it in condition for u vigorous fight
against the enemy. The Republican
party is al peace with itself now, but

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

From our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON. D. c., Mar. IL, 1884.
The debate in the House upon the
Naval appropriation bill has furnish
ed both sides with splendid oppor
tunities for opening all of the old po-
litical sores and fighting over again
the old battles, in which elimination
and reeFimination are the chief weap.
ons. The slashing out of the esti-
mates of nearly eight millions of
dollars by the Committee on Appro-
priations, which leaves the new war
vessels now being constructed with
out gun for defense. and without an
engine to propel them, is q sample
of that Democratic forethought that
seizes upon economy as its campaign
watchword. 1t fact, it is apparent
that the committee has sought, in
cutting down the various items in the
bill, to strike blow at every branch
of the naval service. They would
weaken the already weak enough
service by eliminating from the list
of officers the men whom the country
had educated in the arts Of war, and
strike from the rolls the men who had
served the country in its direst hour
of danger.
A bit of testimony not calculated
