LETTER FROM BALTIMORE.
BALTIMORE. Julv 22d. 1884.

BALTIMORE, July 22d, 1884.
Messrs. Editors Mr.. Baine's letter of accep
tance is now before the people of his country. 1t
is somewhat long, but full perfect and complete
so deeply interesting and useful-thatit Will De
very generally read. 1t contains vast amount
of information, such as every politician, every
statesman, and indeed every citizen wants to Know
1t is just the kind Of letter the citizens want and
the sort of news they wish to see.
have also perused with great pleasure as well
as edifcaton the letter of acceptance of Gen. John
A. Logan, given to the people of our country only
a few days ago. 1t is a paper that must attract
especial attention and admiration. Like that OF
Mr.. Blaine it will be widely read. Coming as it
does from candidate for the second office in the
gift of our people, it husband will-attract more
than the usual amount of public attention, show
ing that Providence, should it so order that the
first, by the cause Of some unforeseen event be
called hence, the great trust will be safe in the
keeping of the second, as it was with the lamen-
ted Garfield. The letter is sound in every respect
and cannot but attract attention.
With two such trained and experienced states
men, men of such long and thorough converse in
the very highest, trustworthy circles of political
and statesmen's lives, we cannot for moment APP
prehend being otherwise than in the right track.
They are certainly to be ranked far above Mr..
Cleveland-clever as he may be-with his very
moderate experience in domestic craftsmanship,
and that of long since repudiated, doubtful side
learn that forty to fifty new houses are soon
to be commenced on Lanvale and other contigu-
Gus streets north of Jones' Falls and south OF
Boundary avenue. Other residences are also to be
begun near the the same point near North, Cal
vert and st. Paul streets. Several new residences
are also in of erection in the Belt, not far
from the boundary. row of some fifteen or
| twenty tenements-three stories and very fine
| are now having the cellars dug on North ave.
| nue-county side-running between Greenmount
| avenue and North street. They will add hand
| somely to that section. Mr.. Perkins new Presby-
terrain church, southeast corner of St. Paul street
| and Boundary avenue, is progressing-all OF mar
ble-very rapidly and handsomely. The main
structure is expected to be completed early IN the
| fall. Both he and Mr.. Kirkus, Of st. Michael
| and All Angels P. E. church, now away on
their summer visit. Such is the case with good
| many ministers of the several churches, both of
city and country. 1t is proper to say that i'm
provement goes forward quite rapidly in all parts
of Baltimore, particularly in the northeast, north
| and northwest 1t will progress still more rapidly
| later in the year.
| A very large number of persons now away
| for the summer months, both at mountains and on
seashores. Fewer people are now leaving for
| Europe-France specialization would have
| gone had the cholera not appeared so violently in
some portions of the French domain, and, from all
| appearances, may yet be much worse. see it has
appeared in Paris. 1t might, indeed, spread
greatly and may yet but be in the incpien stages.
| Too much caution cannot be taken. 1t may pos
siby be here in few weeks, even at our very
doors. Persons everywhere should be careful.
The finding and recovery of portion of Lieut..
Greely's party, out toward the Arctic ocean, has
given great joy to many all the world
| Though some have been lost we are glad at Having
accomplished what We did, but let us never again
undertake so foolish thing as these Arctic ex-
| petitions. NEsToR
