Twenty Years Ago, Dear Tom''-"Old
and New" Again-An Overreach-

FRosTBCRG, Mp, Feb, 7, 1885.

FRosTBURG, Mp, Feb. I, 1885
Temporal mutantur. 1t is hard for me
to realize that the Frostburg of to day
is the Frostburg Of twenty years ago.
What has become of the quaint,
piquant provincial village that SO
charmed the stranger CHANGING to tarry
within her gates9 There is something
exceedingly relishful in the life of vii
lage before it has become old enough
to put on city airs. Its very monotony
has soft, lulling sweetness, and the
little incident Of everyday life, even
small gossip, are thrown out in a sort
Of bas-relief. There is a fixity in the
associations of the soil, and q pleas
ant habit Of the blood in the
ravenous credulity for something
new" With the influx of summer
boarders, with the swarm Of miners
called thither by the high wages of q
time gone by, and left stranded by the
rcceding tide of prosperity, with num-
erous suburban additions" Of finsy
frame" houses, the town has lost
what 1t never can recsil. No longer
village, nor yet a city, it il in the
hoobIedeAoy stage, or like the half
grown hoy who has pushed his arms
through his roundabout sleeves too
far, and whose pants buttons squirm
picturesQuely between knee and heavy
ankle.
blame the JOURNAL largely for
tins new arrogance Of Fr0stburg and
for these Gifted airs. Not content to
have the village shine in the reflected
light OF Cumberland, it has even de-
manded that our coal lands shall be
called the 't'rostburg Coal Region
n few years ago it went farther and
wanted to break up Allegany county,
slice off the Georges Creek Region, and
send it spinning into space with an
entirely new name of its own. A paper
that makes the postof1ice on it's issue
day look like an immense waspnest,
with JOURNALS for cellarets, and which
goes waltzins ito the domicile Of every
saint and sinner in the village-beg
pardon, mean city-can be expected
to have phenomenal influence. Let
US hope the JOURNAL will exert its
powers hereafter to crsate less puff
ed-up spirit in its readers.
With the decay of tho distinctive
village life has come spirit of business
jealousy that occasionally shows itself
in ways that amuse sojourner very
much. Let me give an instance:
On the hill above the town is what is
called reservoir-in this case a "mere
geographical expression'-not much
larger than an exaggerated tablespoon.
Well, some of the leading men got Sen
ator Brace-who does most of the
headwork for the plaee-to have bill
passed by the Annapolis Solons,
looking to the establishment Of real
water works and namirga commission,
with plenary powers to do the business.

1t happened that some of the leading
merchants were on the commission.
The rest of the mercantile community
then arose as one man and the dry
goods mind was wrought upon to slay.
The result-in the language of the
"reportaire"-can better be imagined
than described. "The whole day long
at windy Troy, the noise of battle
rolled along the sea-" Every store-box
was turned into spouting, bursting
fountain Of gushing verbosity, the
spray of which covered every passer-
by. Every lamp-post became point
around which tho swirling eddies of
conversation gyrated. The local
orators cut the pretty tops of the store
boxes as deity as they disemboweled
the arguments of the opposition. The
measure was lost. If you want the
statistics, search the scriptures of your
files, but don't ask me.
Again, take one more thought .
as a certain preacher | know says
when he has driven the blunt drill of
his own dullness into the hard granite
OF your passive endurance. We have
an association of alleged literati whose
aim 1t has been to purvey mental
pabulum of a more refined and digest
IDLE character than that usually cater
ed on the street corners in summer, or
IN the back rooms of stores when the
cold of winter has driven the loafers'
shins into closer relation with the
stove. This is being done by means
of lectures. 1t is true the association
of alleged Hterati have occasionally
made mistake, and forced down the
Threats of the suffering villagers a
bolus of stuff that only stomach au
courier with sauer-krout, schinkenroh,
and worst-pfaunkechen, and other
Holland dishes could stand without
turning itself inside out like a darned
stocking. Still that is not the point !;
we are discussing, if you please, al
legged literati. The real point is this {:
The lectures have failed because
everybody not in the illuminated
circle of alleged Hterati believed he
ought. to have been there, and helped
to decide whether General julius
Caesar Sanford, or Monsigneur Cope
land, men of national reputation ought
to have shone for us or not The jack
daw parliament that ensued upon the
association finding that its work of
village evangelization had not sue
ceeded, has not yet subsidized. Nova
days if you sec an intellectual general
pro bono pu6lico-looking young man fig
uring away onthe back of an envelope
hung despondingly over some NOR
chants show case, you may set it down
at once that he is one of the hterati,
fishing up from the muddy memories
of childhood enough knowledge of
arithmetic to do sum in long division,
and see whether the general manager
has cheated him in lsvying his assess
ment of losses. These are thy gods,
., Israel F! In my next shall try to
emit some flashes of political prognos-
tication. VIAToR.

LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP.
Some Facts which will Cost Nothing
to Substantiate, and which, Prop
erly Considered, may Prove
Profitable.

There is in almost everything done
two ways of doing tone cheerfully
and unreservedly, the other grudging-
ly and conditionally. Mark the exem-
plitication of this in the course pursued
by the two trunk lines having connec-
ton with Washington, the one direct
and the other roundabout. The direct
line, which it is needless to remark is
the Baltimore and Ohio, in making the
great reduction on the faro to Wash
ington for the inauguration, announce
ed no exceptions to the privileges ac-
corded the holders Of such tickets, but
to the contrary, threw open its entire
service, limited express as we'll as other
regular trains, to the low rates. No
lying around the B. & O. depot wait
ing for slow trains; no programme of
travel rudely destroyed by refusing ac-
ceptance of inauguration tickets on
fast trains. How strong the contrast
on the other road When forced to
follow the lead of the Baltimore and
Ohio in making the reduction in rates,
it was done after u characteristic fash
ion OF affected exclusiveuess. On the
other road inauguration tickets are
good only upon certain trains (slow
trains), for upon the so-called limited
fro nf he lo
Washington. Che low-rate tickets are
not good and more than this, the
straight full-fare ticket is not good on
such trains without extra fares and
compulsory paying for sleeping and
parlor- car accommodations, whether
wanted or not. To talk about some
thing, the indirect line refers to New
York and the privilege of stopping off
in Washington and then going on to
the metropolis. This can be done by
anybody on the tickets issued by any
line, provided the time announced is
within the limit OF the ticket.
The 5. & 0. is the only direct line
into Washington, and passengers from
the West, who go to the National Cap
ital to witness the Inauguration cere-
monies by any other line and thence
to New York, have simply to double
the track for considerable of the dis
lance, or going direct by the B. & O.
Then, too, the other line dwells upon
the special feature it proposes to adopt
in running solid trains to Washington
for the particular occasion. That this
is an acknowledgment of making spec
ial schedule for Washington business,
and that it would be roundabout
route to get into that city, is evident
upon its face. 1t is fact that solid
trains are run regularly through Wash
ington, between the West and the East
only on one line, and that line is the
B. & 0. 1t is fact also that the Bal.
