Proceedings Against the MARYLAND G.

Proceedings Against the Maryland Gen.
tral.-Proceedings were instituted in the Balti-
more county Circuit Court on Wednesday, in the
receivership case of the Maryland Central Rail-
road Company by Messrs. J. REGISTER & Sons, pc
titoners, through D. tIdridge Monroe, Esq, their
solicitor to enforce payment of the claim of the
petitioners against the said company. The pc
titioners aIlege that they furnished necessary ma
terials and supplies for the maintenance, repair,
equipment and useful Improvement of the road
and property of the said company, and that the
income of the road, which should have been ap-
piled to the payment of their claim, was improp-
erly diverted to other uses. The petitioners
claim that the debt due them is an equitable lien
on the road and property of the said company,
and pray the court to pass decree declaring such
lien. They also pray the court to pass an order
requiring the receiver to state an account. Judge
Fowler passed an order requiring the trustees and
the receiver to show cause, before the second
day of March next, why the relief prayed should
not be granted. This proceeding, it is under
stood, is intended to raise the question as to
whether or not such claims are privileged debts"
within the meaning of recent decision of the Su-
preme Court of the United States in similar
case, and which debts were held by that court to
be equitable liens.

Colts Die of Scarlet Fever.-The Belair
Times of last week says: "Mr. Johns Fl. Janney

Urinary surgeon made a post-mo examination

The animals were taken with a slight infamma-

four hours. This is said to be very uncom-
mon disease for horses, and no cure or preventive
has been found. There are no more horses sick

A Pointer on Beef.-A we'll known Balt-
more butcher gives the following directions for
judging of the quality of beef, which may be of
service to some of our readers "In the general
selection of beef the house keeper will do we'll to
remember that if young, it will have fine, smooth,
open grain, good, wholesome redness of color,
and will feel tender while the fat should be white
rather than yellow-the whittier and firmer the
better. Indeed when the fat of beef is of dull
color the meat is seldom good. and should be sys-
tematically avoided. When fed with oil cakes the
fat of beef will be usually of this color, and the
flesh fabby. In the selection of any cut of beef
whatever, strict observance of these simple rules
will suffice to insure even the most inexperienced
buyer against imposition. Then, again, if beef is
over fresh, the fact will make itself apparent by
the smell, which will be suggestive of excessive
bloodiness, quite as readily as in the of over
kept tainted beef, the odor of which is sicken-
ing. The last precaution will apply to every
other kind of meat as we'll as to beef"

JOHN ROACH.
CHAPTER I.

ChAfIEh l..
The story which it is my purpose to
tell has no plot. A plotless story may
not be so interesting as daring fic-
tion of unexpected development, but
nine times out of ten it is purified by a
more life-like atmosphere I lived in
an old neighborhood which men said
was fifty years behind the times. No
railroads-no public conveyance of
any kind except the swinging old
stage coach which, in my infancy, l
associated with the raccoon. My
parents died when l was very young,
and |, almost incapable of realizing the
awful meaning Of death, was taken by
my uncle. One of the first thoughts
cherished with regard to him was that
when / grew to be a man, / would
"clinch" with him in revengeful COM
bat. Imust have been six years old
when, one day he called me and said:
John Roach, you are getting old
enough to 90 to work. Don't think,
sir, that will allow you to spend your
life in idleness."
Before could reply, my aunt said:
Jasper, the child is not old enough
to work"
"Yes he is, plenty old. l worked
when l wasn't any older than he is.
Here John, take that hoe and work
that piece of corn" "
Oh course, obeyed him, although
the sun shono with merciless fervor.
After a while, when thought no one
was looking sat down in the shade of
an apple tree. Being very tired. |
dropped off to sleep. had begun to
dream pleasantly, of cool places and
kind hearted people, when l was
awakened by violent jerk. 1t took
me but moment to realize that my
uncle had seized me by the collar
This was not all. He had broken off
an apple tree sprout and was laying it
on to me. thought then, and l have
never since had occasion to change me
mind, that an apple tree sprout can be
made to produce more solid, unalloy-
cd pain than any other instrument of
torture. My loud cries attracted my

aunt. Running quickly to the spot,
she said
"Oh. Jasper, do not kill the child"
He turned upon her and struck her
with The switch. This was more than
| could stand. Wheeling around, l
seized his leg and buried my teeth in
his flesh. heard him roar, but that
was all heard, for he almost stamped
l was lying under the tree. My head
was swollen and my lips were bruised,
Darkness had come and knew not
how long l had been lying there. l
was afraid TO stay alone, SO l softly
crept into the house. l found my
aunt sitting on the stairs leading to
my room.
my poor little boy" she said, TAX
ing me into her arms, ''my poor little
abused boy. There, don't cry. You
might awake Jasper, and il he finds
us here be will punish us both"
Aunt Emily" whispered, "why
did you marry such a manp"
"Ob, don't know, John; had to.
Isuppose. Slip up to bed, now and
when he calls you in the morning, get
up at once"
stole up stairs and lay down. How
l wished that was a big, strong man;
how earnestly prayed that some one
might meet him in the road and knock
him down. Just about the time the
birds began to twitter among the
vines that grew about my little win
dow, l heard Uncle Jasper calling me-
Before l was sufficiently awake to an
swer, he shouted:
''If l have to come up there to you
sir, I'll make you think you enjoyed
yourself yesterday. Come pile down
from there now. I'm tired of
lazy lout like you, lying round
here"
L lost no time in ''piling down"
After breakfast, resumed work, but
/ did not sit down under the apple
tree.

in life, but not as early as did his ia
nous father, who when he represented
himself at the bar of the house of rep

A "soLFATAIA" or volcanic vent,
from which sulphurous yapors and

valley, near Santa Barbara, Cal. 1T
is situated on the margin of bluff,
175 feet above the river. A strong
and intensely disagreeabie odor re-
sembling both sulphur and bitume
prevails in the locality, and few
inches below the surface the rock is
very warm. Sulphurous fumes are
visible rising on cool days in winter to
a height of many feet. The rocks are
covered with beautiful crystals of sui
phur, and soda is deposited in several
places.

CHAPTER III.

CHATTER III.
Uncle Jasper would not allow me to
attend school. but my aunt, who had
been teacher, stole many an oppor-
tunity to instruct me. Consequently.
by the time l was eight years of age, l
could read understandingly. We had
conducted our little school 80 slyly
that Uncle Jasper was totally in the
dark with regard to it. Had he known
that l was able to read, am sure he
would have punished me, for, although
he was man of some learning, he de-
spised education. Strange TO say, my
uncle attended church with the strict
est regularity. He was not ''prOfes-
sor," as the neighbors would have
termed il, but in every revival he took
a deep interest 1 don't think, how
ever, that the church people had very
much confidence in him, for, one day
Jasper Prior ought to be ashamed of
himself, because, she added. 'he
treats his wife and that motherless
boy in an awful way"
One day l heard my uncle reading
letter that he had just received from
a distance. The letter stated that q
certain man, to whom my uncle was
in some way related had just died,
leaving to Uncle Jasper little girl.
When he had finished reading the
letter. he said:
"Well, Emily, suppose I'll have to
60 and get the girl. I've already got
enough on my shoulders, but of course,
it is no more than right that take
care of the child"
| thought this was rather kind on
the part of my uncle, but the follow
ing remark, which he quickly added,
dropped blot on his former declara-
ton:
"She must be getting along pretty
well in life and can save the expense
of hiring extra help about the house.
l expect she has been brought up in
idleness, but she needn't expect any
of that sort of thing around here"
Halle Moore. | never shall forget
the first time that ! saw her. i felt as
though | wanted to run and hide,
when in little spring wagon, she and
uncle drew up at the gate, and in fact
l stood behind the corner of the house
and peeped around as my aunt, who
had hurried to the gate, lifted the lit.
tic girl from the wagon. was too
young to know much of the different
styles of beauty, but | knew that her
rich growth of hair, the softnes5 of
her eyes and her charming shyness OF
