A fire broke out yesterday afternoon at
ID o'clock in the two room house, Of 70
liceman Erickson, situated a little to the
North of the Military Hospital. The
house, all the furniture and wearing ap-
parel we're completely burnt before amy
assistance could be obtained. Several OF
the engines of the %Brandcorps as well as
the Military engine were i'll attendance.
The Brandmajor and all the officers and
men Of the Fire Brigade were active IN
their endeavours to master the raging ele-
ment. AS usual the women did their
work well, supplying the engines with
water. st, Thomas Bulletin 9TH Nay.

The Agricultural Department of the
United S,aDeS has issued a Report show
iug the immense increase of the growth
ana expo Of corn in the last few years.
TAele are now 4,008, 607 separate farms in
tn" STA rs, against l.449,O73 III 1850, While
the acreage under grain culture has in
creased from 203 900, 900 acres to $4,000,
COO. The total agricultural exports have
risen fgom less than 10000, 600 in 1920 to
GI10,OCG.C00 in 1882, and of these, the
llrg,st amount & reS to the United King
dom. The average import Of food into
Great Britain aud Ireland for the ten
years ending June, 1883, has amounted to
So G0, eco a year, and is always %increas.
ing. 1t is characteristic that the uraftS-
man Of the Report adds that the Union has
only imported back again articles worth
G}2, 10000 a year, and obviously thinks
the balance pure gain. We wonder if he
thinks the American farmers gaze us G43,
oO0,O00 a year! If not, they must have
imported their returns somehow, and Eng

we suppose, in United States bonds, and
it certainly was not all paid for in bullion.

tain rimce Bismarck, hat he always wins.
Nevertheless the declaration should be
noted, for Prince Bismarck must diSap}

the absolute refusal of concessions by the
Kings VIII deyelope Il Republican party.<
The people may think, as The Chancellor
does, that between Il "living" Monarchy
and a Republic there is no middle path,

It is believed that the expiration of
Aleko PaSha's term as Governor, which is
now approaching, will be the signal for

governed so well, that tue province is
quiet and prosperous, education advances,
and the people are more COntented than
the Northern Bulgarians. A strong party,
however, would if they dared elect Prince
Alexander; and the Russian Government,
aware of his, tries to place a veto upon
Aleko PaSha'S reelection. England and
France support him, but it is believed that
the opposition will be too strong. and that
Rustrm PaSha, the able Governor driven
from the Lebanon by French influence,
Will be selected. ! he casting voice will
rest with Germany, which will probably
gratiiy Russia, unless Prince Bismarck,
from Conservative instinct, shall insist Oh
leaving an arrangement which has worked
well undiSturbcd. 1t is a pity to lose the
experience and tact Of Prince Vogorides,
who has displayed great administrative
power and uue peCted absence of ambi-
tiun, but there is one compensation. The
worse the Government in Eastern ItOume-
LA, the more certain is the junction of the
two Bulgarias, which is Indispensable,

The new Liberal patty recently formed
in Germany, by the fusion Of the Progress
siSts with The Liberals, has for one Of its
objects the establishment Of Il responsible
Ministry for Germany. Prince Bismarck
considers this scheme equivalent to sur
rendering the control OF foreign policy 10
fuctuatmg parties and their unframed
chiefs, and has accordingly induced the
Federal Council to pronounce against it in
advance. On April 5th, the representa-
tives of all the German Sorereigns unanl-
monsly signed a declaration, %denouncinG
Ministerial government as inconsistent,
not only with the welfare OF Germany, but
with The rights of her separate States.
That is rather Il useless expenditure OF
time and enel gy. If Germany seriously
desired Il law, and the Chancellor refused

of hostile votes, would be nearly impoSsi-

For "THE BALTIMORE COUNTY UNION"
FAITH.
BY BEssIE ALLEN.

In life's early morning
A trial came to me,
Came not without a warning,
But as cloud We see,
That gath'ring in the distance,
Looms dark and threat 'ningly
And banishes the sunlight,
While the heart is filled with fear,
For we cannot pierce the blackness
Of storm clouds that appear.
But down on bended knees,
/ offered up prayer
To God that He would grant me
Sufficient strength to bear
The trial near before me,
Unmoved, unfinchingly,
That He would give me courage
And calm the troubled heart,
That 1 at the time of action
Act not towards part.
And when the ordeal came,
Within had been change,
Fear gave its place to calmness
And all seemed new and strange;
And asked myself the question,
Am /, restless, troubled one,
So changed, so calm, untroubled,
And when was the change begun?
Then thoughts or the prayer TIA vffervtt
Came up and with glad surprise,
found that my poor petition
Must have reached beyond the skies.
And is this not, wonder,
Oft with us all the way,
Would not many be surprised
If the things for which they pray
Were granted? Would they deem them
An answer to their prayer,
And thank our Heavenly Father
For His tender, loving care?
Aye, if our faith were stronger
Whene'er we kneel to pray,
'Twould surely be the dawning
Methinks, of better day.

proved themselves to be soldiers worthy
of their foeman's cold, cutting steel.
What was at first a despised embryotic
mob, grew into a valiant army and a pow
erful nation. Right prevailed overnight,
and the conquered minions of a pampered
aristocracy, in far-off foreign lands were
only too glad to lay down their dishonored
arms ingnominiously before what was once
denominated as a detested mob. That
mob, which was, at first, a mere handful
of unorganizcd men, developed speedily
into a powerful, well organized army.
Through its righteousness, its yalor and its
patriotism, it defended and sustained a
well-defned principle. 1t laid broad and
deep the corner stones in the foundations
of liberty and justice. Ii built grandly, sol
idly and wisely for after generations. True,
mobs virtually take the law in their own
hands; that is to say, they seek to innict
penalties when the enforcement of the
law has become a mockery upon justice.
True. mobs become blinded with Jealous
rage. Do not venal jurics become blind
to their oaths and to the proper perform
ance of their duties? Which is the worst,
an honest mob or a dishonest jury?
These are things which the American peo-
pie should ponder over closely and deter
minedly. The remedyis solely with them.
Seeing the evil in its hidcousness, they
should be spcedy to correct III No longer
should jury trials be farces. The safety
of the individuals and their institutions
reside in a pure ballot box and a righteous
jury system. Tampering with either en-
dangers our lives, our liberties and our
happiness. An infuriatcd mob can teach
salutary lessons from which honest men
in their calm and deliberate moments may
receive many valuable suggestions.
