Dan Christ Again in the Toils.-For some
years o man named Dan Christ has been terror
in the neighborhood of Reisterstown and Emory
Grove, and he is supposed to have been the author
ofinnumerable thefts which have been perpetrated
in those neighborhoods, for one of which he was
convicted and served term in the penitentiary.
Only few months ago he was released and had
been making his home in the woods about his old
haunts, in company with two or three others of
his class, and the frequent depredations upon hen
roosts and diaries were charged to them, although
they were not arrested. Last Sunday Christ was
seen in a woods few miles from Westminster,
where it is said, he was behaving in suspicious
manner, and the people of the neighborhood being
afraid of him, party was organized for his cap
ture, which was effected and he was taken to the
Westminster Jail. Soon after the arrest of Christ
a quantity of goods were found concealed near
the scene of his capture. These consisted of two
boxes of cigars, box of tobacco and lot of
stockings and fowls Afterwards some of these
goods were identified by Mr.. Burke, who keeps a
store at Arcadia, his property his store having
been broken into and robbed only few nights
before. There is scarcely doubt that Christ's
gang committed this burglary, and if they can
fasten it upon Dan the chances are that he will
60 up for another term in the penitentiary.

Children's Day at Jessop's M. d. Church.
The annual Children's Day and decoration SER
vices of Jessop's M. E. Sabbath School took place
on the 18th inst, and was equally interesting as
previous occasions, if not more impressive. At
9l5 a. m. exercises began with appropriate music
and prayer, when Mr.. c. Hahn, of Baltimore, and
Rev. Joel Brown delivered short addresses. Mr..
George C. Duncan, assistant superintendent, made
an address, in which he greeted the audience and
presented morning lesson, which was beautifully
illustrated in the decoration and designs, on the
"Faith trials and righteousness OF Abraham"
He closed by singing "What is the crown that
saints shall wear" the school joining in the chorus.
Mrs. Annie Benson then followed by impressively
referring to the removal of loved ones by death
and the appropriateness Of remembering them by
strewing flowers on their graves, basing her re-
marks on "The Lord will provide" She closed
by singing "How sweet as we journey" ETC., the
school Joining in the chorus. Mr. Thos Royston
spoke on the Importance of right doing and closed
by reciting "Take my life and let it be consecrated
Lord to Thee" Miss Kate Royston recited a
poem of Mackay, "Tel me ye winged winds, !"
after which the school sang "Then labor on"
The classes then formed in double line in the
graveyard and after singing "Shall we meet be-
You'd the river" proceeded to decorate the graves
of former officers and associates of the school.
The decorations consisted of large altar of
sacrifice of stonelike appearance, with knife wood
and hre upon 1t. 10 the rlgnt OF the altar was
ram, representing the one caught in the thicket
and which Abraham offered instead of his son.
Over the altar was an arched motto-"By grace
are ye saved through faith"-in gold and silver
letters. Over the pulpit were the words "Christ
Jesus came into the world to save sinners" and
over large evergreen and floral cross, which stood
on the pulpit, was "The Lord will provide" To
the right and left of the pulpit were other notices,
which, together with those already mentioned,
we're referred to in the addresses and morning
lesson by Mr.. Duncan and Mrs. Benson. An
evergreen anchor and Tyre, with the words $50 sing
praises unto the Lord and which were on each side
of the altar of sacrifice, were much admired. Pot
flowers also were about the platform. tits seldom
that we see such taste displayed at an anniversary
occasion as was noticed at this time, and it was
acknowledged by all present to be a most beauti-
full picture.
At IL o'clock Rev. Joel Brown preached an in
teresting sermon on "Ishmaels prayer to God"
At $50 p. m. services were also held when Miss
Berthe Mays read very acceptable production on
mature, it lessons ami our duty and acknowledged
provdential guidance and protection" after which
Rev. Joel Brown, Mr.. Charles Hahn and Mr.. L.
M. Bacon made addresses.

The Truants Have Returned.-August
Kahler kept the Friendship House, about six miles
from Baltimore on the Philadelphia road and
Aquila Cunningham is the proprietor of pub
lie house the same road at its intersection with
the North Point road. Kaher has wife and six
young children, and Cunningham has wife and
no children. About six weeks ago Kahler mys-
teriously disappeared and Mrs. Cunningham
dropped out of sight about the same time. 1t
was soon discovered that they had departed to-
gether. For several weeks nothing was heard of
the truant pair, when finally, it is said, Cunning
ham received letter from his wife, written from
Chicago, asking for money to bring her home 1t
is reported that Kahler wrote home for the same
purpose, but his wife did not comply with his re-
quest. Cunningham, however, sent the necessary
funds and on Friday of last week hack drove
up in front of his house and Mrs. Cunningham
hoped out. 1t is said she met with a very cor
dial reception. Kahler stopped with friend in
the mel ghborhood over night and Saturday morn
ing appeared in front of his house and called his
wife out. She refused to go but said if anybody
wanted to see her they would have to come into
the house. Accordingly Kahler went in and as
he has been there ever since it is supposed that
matters have been amicably adjusted, and the
gossips of the neighborhood have again limbered
up their tongues.

THE ENGINEER.

Like flash oflight the through-express
Flies oyer the silvery line,
Bearing Its burden of human souls
EOn, on, through the gay sunshine.
There. at the throttle bar, brown and grim,
His deep eyes looking ahead,
The engineer in his oily clothes,
Stands firm and free from dread.
The track is his own, all must give way.
Yes! See at the town, on there!
The morning freight on the siding waits;
All is right; no call for care.
All, God! an open switch! One move
And his bar is quick reversed;
Then the air. brakes drag. Jump! jump! OF
Death
On your soul will do his worst.
The engine lurches upon the switch;
Just ahead there stands the freight;
He can save the train If he keep his pest;
For himself? All WE'LL ask Fate,
frightful clash the passengers saved,
With their faces white With dread;
But under his engine, crushed and torn,
The brave engineer lies de al.
Think, as you fly mid the sunshine bright,
Or through the storm and in.
By day and night, or plain an gorge,
ofthe engineer of tine train.
Think of the thousands of souls he holds
In his grasp without a fear;
Tnink of the strain on ~ r 9 and on rain,
And pray Tor the engineer.

John W. Woltz, of the Fredericksburg
Free Lance, was republican in the days
when it tried mems soul to be republican.
After twenty years consideration Of the
problem, here is what he says to the color
ed men of Virginia, and we commend it as
worthy OF all confidence
'If it is wrong to appeal to the colored
race to disband their political forces and
scatter out among both parties, just before
an important and exciting election, may
not the present-just after the election is
over-be an suspicious time to repeat that
appeal?
We believe that politicians of all parties
feel less interest in both white and black
voters after, than they do before an election,
and hence we are left to believe that coun-
sci and advice will be less lnterfered with
now than they were few weeks ago.
We again and again beg the colored peo-
pie of Virginia, to begin right moao to con-
slider the great injury they do themselves,
the state, the nation and the party tn y
p ofess to love, by banding themselves TO-
gether in politics.

There is no doubt of the fact, whether it
be from Ignorance, prejudice. malice, or
900 lie, that the maintenance of solidiCy
of tn. cnlorrd vote in the towns and cities
of Virginia is chiefly due to the influence OF
the colored preachers, many of whom in the
last compaign not only read General Ma
homes circulars and notices from their pull
pits, but practically turned their churches
into eiectioneering bureaus. This fact
should be remembered Gazette.

MARRIED HER FORMER HUSBAND.

MARRIED HER FORMER HUSBAND
Several years ago Charles Schneider, a
bright young German employed in the stove
works of John Grassious, in Cincinnati,
married the daughter of his employer. The
father did not approve of the match, as he
was rich, and wished his daughter to marry
some one of social distinction. The father
endeavored to get his daughter home again,
and at last he succeeded in estranging the
young wife from her husband. She went
kOme to her parents. and Schneider, in his
| dispair, became dlssipated. One day be
went to his Wife hnme and demanded that
| she go with him. She refused and he shot
at her, but did not hit her. He was sent
to the penitentiary for three years He
! was not allowed to see his children, nor was
| his wife allowed to testify. He served his
time. and bis wife, at her fathers command,
secured divorce. This almost broke the
young mans heart, and he came back to
| Cincinnati last summer completely broken
| in spirit Just befOi his term expired the
father died, leaving large fortune, of
which generous portion went to the daugh-
ter Schneider came back auOug his peo-
pie and was welcomed as wronged man.
| A few days ago he arranged to see his chill
dren at he home of former friend. The
| mother happened in, and the meeting of the
former husband and wife was touching.
There were a few words and tears, and then
reconciliation. They were marrieo again,
and now The ex convict and wife are living
in wealth and happiness.
SUCH IS LIFE.-One of the gloomiest parts
of q daily newspaper is that in which in
stances of unhappy marriages are recorded
d vJrces, brutality, drunkenness, infidelity,
are breaking up nup, berless homes every
mouth throughout the county. Behind
each one of these cases is a story when be-
gins with bright dream, but ends with
disgust and separation. There is to" much
prose in life and TOO little poetry. When a
yonth first falls IN love he is full of sent,
ment. The ecstatic glamour has taken pos
session of him, and he idealizes even the
wart on his lsdy's cheek. He quotes Moore
profusely when all goes well, and when he
is snubbed be walks across Brooklyn Bridge
intent on suicide, but generally concludes
to postpone the event IN order to die of old
age. Ten years of married life, however,
sap the poetry and leave him dry. The
''pet," the ''duck," the darling" becomes
the ''old woman No more bouquets, for
the grocer's bill staggers him. Tom Moore
gives place to a growl because the coal has
given out. If his youngest has ''pain in
the pinafore'' and he is compelled to trot
round the room sin the stilly night he
wonders how much paregoric would keep the
child still without killing him, and comes
to the wise conclusion that ''life's yOurg
dream" is rather different from life's real
| ity Al twenty this is all nonsense, but at
forty we sigh '''tis true. tits pity, and pity
| tits tits true.''

THE CoLoRED MAN.-The campaign
which has just closed in Virginia has de-
monstrated, most conclusively, one thing.
The colored man is no longer the exclusive
cha tel of the republican party. In all sec.
tions of the State he seems to have burst
lin some measure at least) the bands which
bound him to his republican idols, and his
ears seem at last to have been opened to
the words of wisdom.
Wherever Filz Lee has ridden in his tri-
umphal canvass throughout the State color
ed men have boldly ridden in the caval.
cades which escorted him, and have been
ready to give reason for the faith which is
in them The colored men of Virginia are
at last awakening to the fallacious hopes
and specious pretences which have been
held out to them by the repub lean party
They are becoming amenable to reason.
They are beginning to recognize who are
their best friends, and we are ready to hal
the day as not far distant, when we shall
hear no more of color lines in politics, but
when the colored man will be ready to rec
ognize that he has material stake in the
prosperity of the country, and to listen to
the admonitions of those among whom he
has been born and reared.
