The Oyster Law.

There seems to be some conflict of
opinion between oystermen as to the
right construction Of the general oys-
ter law passed by the last Legislature,
and there is much uncertainty among
oystermen of the counties. especially
where some Of its provisions seem to
conflict with the local laws. Com
mander Waddel has endeayored every
way possible to make the law plain !;
he has on several occasions gotten the
opinion of the Attorney Geneaal on
certain sections of the law and has
had a number Of copies Of the law
printed for the use and benefit of the
oystermen. They certainly should be
wen up on the law of bivalves IL no
other, and there Is no excuse for Vio-
lating it.

The Fatality Among Severn Horses.

The fatality which broke out
among the horses of some farmers
on North Severn, by which several
were carried of, we are informed has
all disappeared. The cause of the
trouble was traced to eating unsound
new oats, which threw the animals
into violent cramps aud caused death.
Mr.. Duvall, who has lost several
horses, went to Baltimore for vete.
rinary surgeon, who attributed the
cause of death to eating of heated
green oats, which brought about con.
gestion Of the stomach. No more
deaths have occurred since those re.
ported in the CAPITAL some DAYS
ago.

Complaining ofsPost ONCE LOungers.

A city correspondent complains of
lounging by young men in front Of
our city Post Office, pending and after
the arrival of the mails. The writer
says it is nuisance, and that pedes-
trains cannot pass without hearing
some improper language from the
months Of these loungers, and that
ladies have frequently uttered their
complaints against this loungiDg. If
this be true, the police should look in
to the matter and break up the roost.
Evidently those who indulge in this
manner Of lounging have not thought
the matter over with themselves
We are sure all that is necessary is to

KISSING A SENORITA.
Teaching the Mexican Girl the Art
of American Oscillation.


''Senorita, I kiss your feet, dios!"
This is the parting salute contained in a
note just finished to a young Mexican
friend, says parral, Mex, letter to the
Louisville Courier-Journal OF course I
do not intend to kiss her feet, but it is
the proper caper here, and I have con-
formed to it. Why should I kiss Zeno-
bias feet, even metaphorically? True, l
would, and perhaps have kissed her
hands and lips, her forehead, cheeks
and probably the back of her neck, but,
although Zenobia is a sweet girl. [ must
be excused from osculatory contact with
her pretty feet, dressed in a high-heeled
arched-instepped gaiter. Like all Mexi-
can girls, she is rather slouchy about her
hosiery, and happened once to observe
that her white stockings were not of the
very cleanest, and hung in folds over the
tops of her CATERS instead of being braced
up. The appearance reminded me of a
collapsed concertina, and the dear girl
fell thirty per cent. in my esteem.
BY the way, the Senoritas have but a
faint idea of kissing-that art from which
so few possess the capacity of extracting
the most available ecstacy-and l one
day offered to show dark-eyed, raven
haired young lady how los Americanos
performed the act. She laughingly
agreed-it is unnecessary for me to say
that the male members and duenna were
out of the way-and l advanced upon
her; my left arm encircled her waist, ex-
tending over the right shoulder down.
ward; my right arm, bent at the elbow,
afforded my hand an opportunity of ac-
cumulating her dimpled chin. Gently
folding back her head and throwing a
look, or rather, a series of looks of unut-
terable nothings into my eyes, I gazed
clean through hers for a moment, and
then with a long-drawn breath l tapped
her lips. 1t was a revelation to her; she
quivered visibly, but, instead of returning
my kiss, she broke away from my en-
brace and ran off to lock herself up.

kissed like that.

Georgia Senators on Their MettIe.
Washington Telegram.
The war is to be fought over and the
right of the Federal authority to coerce
the States is to be discussed in Congress
again because of the act of William Law
renee, comptroller Of the treasury.
At the last session of Congress an act
was passed apprOpriating $35, 900 to pay
the State of Georgia for supplies furnished
the Revolutionary army in 1777. This
money was credited to the State on the
books of the treasury, but Mr.. Lawrence
happened to know that Georgia still
owed the government 1854, 600 for the
amount of direct tax imposed by Con-
gress in 1861 to raise money to equip
troops for therebellion. He therefore re-
fused to pay the Revolutionary debt, and
ordered the money credited to the ac-
count Of the direct tax. This decision
has caused great anguish in the minds of
Senators Brown and Colquitt, and they
regard Sir William Lawrence as very lit
tie short of robber. They propose to
revive the matter in Congress, and haul
the comptroller over the Goals.
