At meeting of the Maryland Academy
of Sciences held in Baltimore gu Monday
night of last week, the subject of Arbor
Day in this State was discussed Rev Geo.
A. Leakin read report on Arbor Day. 1t
was suggested that a day connected with
some historic event of the State be ap-
pointed. The eucalyptus was specially
recommended for planting. Prof Uhler,
A. p. Sharp and Edward Stabler consider
ed the subject at length. Mr.. Sharp gave
accounts of tulip trees planted seven years
ago which had grown from six inches to
forty six inches i'll circumference. The
report was adopted, and a resolution de-
claring that a committee should be ap-
pointed to confer with the Governor about
making Arbor Day for the State. A law
was enacted by the last Legislature direct
ing the Governor to appoint an Arbor
Day. Joint resolution No 7, recognizing
the rapid destruction of our forests, auth
orizes and directs the Governor to issue
proclamation annually, designating day
in April for the planting of forest trees to
to be known as Arbor Day. Parents and
teachers in public schools are especially
recommended in this resolution to en-
courage the children and those under
their influence to plant or transplant at
least one forest shade tree on that day.

During the sharp thunder storm of last
Friday bolt of lightning struck the cap
stone of the Washington monument, and
an examination made on Saturday dis
closed that the stone was shattered 10 some
extent. and another stone cracked. Col
Casey of the engineer corps, in charge OF
the monument, does not thisk the damage
done of material consequence, and says it
can be easily repaired. Prof Rowland,
of the Johns Hopkins University, has made
critical and scientific examination of the
monument with respect to providing i'm
proved appliances tor conducting eectri-
city from the top to the bottom of the
monument. The immense height of the
structure and its exposed position makes
every possible precautiou necessity.

The news comes from Vermont that Blaine 5
friends are to make a determined effort to pre-
ven the return of Senator Edmunds TO the Uni

which is not among the probabilities, the Re

lose far more than Senator Edmunds. Ii would
be interesting to know how far Mr.. Blaine pro-
poses to carry his attempts to wreck tue Re

Thos J. Cluverius, who has been ON trial

Thos J. Cluverius, who has been ON trial
with the seduction and murder of his
cousin Fannie l.. Madison, was on Thurs
day of last week found guilty of murder
in the first degree by the jury. This trial,
has, from the remarkable circumstances
surrounding it, attracted a widespread at
tention and all reports of it, have been
eagerly read by he public. The verdict
has caused considerable surprise to all
calm thinking persons who have followed
the course of the trial from the beginning,
from the fact that the evidence against the
prisoner was all purely circumstantial, and
his guilt was not by any means establish
ed by the prosecution beyond reason
able doubt. The feeling against the pris-
oner in Virginia is said to be very intense
and the verdict meets with general appro-
val throughout that State. The prisoner
counsel have made motion for a new
trial, and if this is denied them they will
carry the case to the Court of Appeals
One of the most remarkable features OF
this remarkable case was the unusual con.
duct of certain jurors the day after the
conviction. Shortly after the appearance
of the prisoner in court, Juror Kepler
walked over to where the prisone. sat,
and in pleasant manner said: 81 hope
you do not think was actuated by any
malice in arriving at my opinion2' The
prisoner smiled but made no reply. Juror
Harrison then approached the prisoner
and remarked: "Mr. Cluverius, in the
name of humanity, want to extend to
you my sincere sympathy. trust that
you believe that | was aceuated only by a
stern sense of duty. The law compelled
me to take certain action if believed GER
tain evidence. The evidence was conclu-
sive, and there was no way in which could
avoid it." To this the prisoner replied
Certainly SIR 1 believe you, Mr.. Harri-
son." and he smiled as ha uttered the
words. Juror Barley, of Alexandria, also
spoke to the prisoner, stating that he had
calmly and fairly tried the matter as one
between himself, his God and the prisoner.
The prisoner acted with the most stelid
Indifference throughout the trial, and his
calmness did not desert him when the YER
dict was announced

Adju ant General Drum, U. S. A., has
just completed list of casualties in the
federal army during the late war. The
list is thought to be the most accurate yet
published. The aggregate number OF
deaths is shown to have been 359,496. OF
these 29,49s occurred among Union sol
diers held as prisoners of war. The total
number of troops reported as furnished by
the various States under the various calls
is 2,771 ,4OS Some of the returns were
duplicated, and it is estimated that the
actual number was about 100000.
