The Belair Democrat is authority for the
statement that one or two citizens of Baltimore

property which they own.
When it is known that two apparently hon.
est men have been travelling about the country
with their pockets loaded with pistols, timid peo
pie will experience some relief when they ascer-
tain that one of the scamps-which they turned
out to be-has been safely landed behind the pris-
on bars. No honest man goes about the country
armed with pistols and knives.
The maid expects
Her beau tonight,
And fills the stove.
With anthracite,
Because the air
Is raw and damp,
But quite forgets
To fill the lamp.

To thousands it will be freighted with much hap
piness, while to others, whose hearts are burden
ed with grief and Affections, the gladstone occa-
sion will have nothing in it to relieve them of
their burdens. The glorious memories of the day

forget their troubles if but for brief season.

which cannot always be said of the foreman and

There is an old saying that doctors differ" and
the truthfulness Of the adage fully established
on this occasion. They did "differ" in this case
and so widely in some instances as to cause the
faces of the non-professional audience to widen
into the most expressive grins.
