How Soon We Are Forgotten.

The Century Club is composed
largely Of men with gray hair and
heavy mien, who are wont to pass
hours OF meditation in the huge
leathered covered chairs, occasions
ally interrupting the silent flow OF
their thoughts to discuss events of
historic or scientific interest. In
matters Of the present decade they
are not always alert. One Sunday
morning a portly man entered the
smoking room, seated himself at a
little table and called for IL cock
tail. Five substantial and intiuen-
tial members who were present saw
that lie wore Il Prince Albert coat
Of stylish cut; and that his gray
side whiskers were neatly trimmed ,
and that although his features were
vaguely suggestive Of somebody
they had seen. none knew who he
WAS. Could it be- that an outsider
had dared to regard the clubhouse
as II public restaurant. The five
members went from room to room,
buttonholing a half-dozen other
members, and these, after Il close
scrutiny, united in declaring they
knew him not. Then the colored
servant was instructed to ask the
strangers name when lie settled
for his drink. In the course Of
half all hour he touched the bell on
the table beside him, rose lazily,
and buttoned his coat.
What name is it, sah?" asked
the attendant, as he took the quar-
ter.
Every man in the room pricked
up his ears.
''Arthnr," was the reply.
"What's dc las name, please9"
"Chestcr A. Arthur" exclaimed
the stranger (who had year or so
before been elected to the club,) Ill
u voice that reached every one of
the priclscd up ears. Then he rap
idly walked out, and probably did
not get to his cab without being
recognized on sight by several
paSSers.

"neGding Eycrything."

'sHe has read eyerything," is a
remark frequently made when u
scholarly man is under discussion.
How absurd such Il statement is
will appear when the fact is men-
toned that in the Congressional
library at Washington there are ov
or 100000 volumes. If they were
placed side by side they would fill
shelf fifty miles long. Ii man
started to read this collection at
the rate of one volume a day, it
would take him 1,G50 years to get
through. And while the man wonld
be at work OH this vast library the
printers would be turning out more
than 10000 new books year
From these figures it will be seen
that it is idle to think Of reading
everything, or even to read all the
best books. The greatest readers

Political Notes.

Governor Hoadly, the Democratic candi.

his first speech in the campaign at Ham ilton,
last Saturday. He denounced sectionalism
and the bloody shirt in the most vigorous
manner. Speaking of the reforms already
made and of Others yet to be made in the ad-
ministration of national affairs by President
Cleveland, he said
"Mr. Cleveland has held office six months Con-
gress has not been in session. yet much has been
accomplished. The spirit of reform and economy
has entered all tho departments. Useless offices
and expenses have been done away, while the
performance of duty, civil and military. has been
enforced. The government is not solicitous to
provide soft places for pets, but TO save money
for the people and to keep the faith pledged in

that 1t Will be honestly done. Under this admin

WHAT Is GOING ON AT LEVEL.

Business is brisk and everything in and about
this place has put on busy look since the new
firm of Makinson and Ewing have opened the
store. Their custom increases daily, and as they
have the backbone there is no doubt that they
will be successful.
Mr. Mac Bowman has charge of DR.. Sapping-
tons thoroughbred horse Tyboy, and is getting
him in trim for the Cecil county fair. He also
expects to take him to the Baltimore county fair.
Tyboy is one of the handsomest stations in Har-
ford and is valued at So 600.
We had big circus in Havre de Grace, last
Saturday, and some of the boys went down there.
Not finding fun enough they started side show
of their own, in which clubs and hog CANDLES
were leading features. Several sore heads that
they left behind them when they came away will
be a warning to let green countrymen alone.
Mr., john Il. Evans is busy plastering our wheel
wright's new house. Messrs. Stokes & Famous
have the contract for painting it, Messrs. Geo.
w. and John IL. Bowman are putting a new roof
on the dwelling attached to the store, into which
Mr.. Ewing intents to move as soon as the repairs
are finished
Mr.. E. H. Foard is the possessor of bull calf
| a week old, that is said to he of the celebrated
Shoemaker stock, for which he has had several
good offers. Cider time has come again but
we are afraid owing to the small crop of apple:
in this vicinity it will be very high and scarce.

DEATH OF Mr.. THos. II. MooRE.-Mr. Thomas
II. Moore, one Of the most prominent citizens
of Baltimore county, died at his mothers resi-
dence, in Towsontown, on the Sd instant, in
the Goth year of his age. Mr.. Moore was
native of Baltimore city, and was at one time
clerk to the city council. He was also elected
Clerk of the Criminal Court in 1851, serving six
years. In 1861 he was Reading Clerk of the
House of Delegates and was arrested with the
members of the Legislature which met at
Frederick, and imprisoned in Fort McHenry.-
He afterwards served for several terms as Read
ing Clerk Of the House. He filled, at various
times, other important appointments, nclud-
ing that of Weigher of Live Stock for three years.
Mr.. Moore was one of the best known Demo-
cratic politicians in the State. He was man
of versatile talents, and as reading clerk he
was unsurpassed. Mr.. Moore leaves q wife but
no children His twin brother, MIR. Philip L.
Moore, ofTowsontown, resembled him SO close
ly that only those who knew them well or saw
them frequently could distinguish one from the
other.

The Bel Air boys were beaten on their own
grounds, last year, by the Towsontown Club,
and this time they determined to show better
score, at least. The result was that every man
was cool and careful and all played handsomely.
The batting on the side of Bel Air was remarka-
bly, strong. The Towsontown boys stood man
fully to their work, even after they saw defeat
was inevitable. Some OF them made excellent
plays, but they could not understand Hays
curves and ten of them struck out in conse-
quence. Cockey, their catcher, had his forefin-
ger knocked out of place, but the scorer pulled
it in for him, and saying at is nothing" lie
went on with the game.

FOR COUNTY SURVEYOR.
THOMAS E. CATHCART.
The Duty of Democrats.

The Democrats of Hartford county have
plain duty to perform and they should not
hesitate to do it. That duty is to vote for
the entire ticket as nominated by the party
on the 1st of August. 1t can not be said that
the Democratic ticket was forced on the party
at the dictation of rings or bosses. Every
Democrat had the opportunity of assisting to
name the ticket and nearly four thousand of
them availed themselves of the privilege. 1t
is true that many Democrats did not succeed
in nominating all tire candidates they voted
for; but the election was fairly and honestly
held. Every vote was counted as it was cast,
and personal preferences should now give
way to the will of the majority. In taking
part in the primaries every voter bound him.
self, in honor, to vote for the ticket nomina-
ted.
There are other reasons why the Demo-
Gratis of Hartford should give hearty and
undivided support to their party ticket. In
the first place it is worthy of their support.
Besides being ticket of their own choice it
is, taken as a whole, composed of men who
have the best interests of Hartford county at
heart They are competent to fill the places
for which they have been nominated and in
this respect no Democrat need fear to con.
trast them with the candidates on the
Republican ticket. The Democrats now
have control of the national admin
stration, by the will of majority of the
people of the United States, who thereby ex-
pressed their desire for the establishment
of our government on the sound basis of
Democratic principles, The Democratic
party will continue to rule in the affairs of
our State. 1t would therefore be q disgrace,
at this time when Democratic principles are
nearly everywhere in the ascendant for Har-
ford county to fater and throw itself into
the arms of Republicanism.
We have no fears of the result. The Dem
ocratic ticket will be elected in Hartford coun.
ty, this fall, by an increased majority, but
every Democrat must aid in bringing this
