COlOred Man Knocked Senseless.
A difficulty occurred between six

blow on the head, knocking him sense

difficulty on board the vessel, with
Robert Langville aud VIM. Peter.
back, two of the crew, using abusive
and threatening language. He then
went on the wharf and challenged
Langville to come of the vessel, who
did so, when Hall approached him.
with an uplifted axe. Langville de-
Tended himself with an oak cord.stick,
which he got from the vessel, and
struck Hall blow over the head,
telling him to the ground.
DR.. Walton was summoned to at.
tend the injured man, who pronounced
his injuries dangerous. Hall was
taken on board Of the vessel, where be
remained in an unco1cious condition
for a long time, and was afterwards
removed to the Jail for treatment
Langville was arrested and taken be-
fore Justice Gassaway. He admits
having committed the assault, but
says the blow was struck in self de.
tense. He was lodged in Jail to await
the result of Halls injuries. A
counter charge of assaulting Robert
LangvilIe, who is alleged to have
dealt the blow which felled Hall to
the ground, having been brought
against the injured man, DIR. Walton,
the attending physician, said it was
not advisable to remove his patient at
present, and the hearing In the case
has been postponed lntil Halls con-
dition is more favorable.

wM. N. AeeoTT. nuslNsss MANAoEa,
WELEARN that ! s.conearanca,, e \

WE LEARN that a conference of IT !.
York and Maryland capitalists win
be held in New York city early in
June to discuss the practicabiIity of
building the Maryland, Chesapeake
and Delaware railroad, and to take
preliminary steps looking toward the
reorganization Of the old company
under existing charters granted by
the Legislatures of Maryland and
Delaware. The route of the propos-
ed road is from Kent Island to Lew
es, Del. A line Of steamers will ply
between Baltimore and Kent Island.
The cost of the projected line is esti-
mated at $500, 900, and the New York
parties interested have stated that
they viii subscribe half of the amount
required If the city of Baltimore will
endorse bonds in amount equal to the
other halfn
There is another charter for rail-
road across the peninsula that posses.
ses great advantages over the forfeited
charter of the Maryland, Chesapeake
and Delaware Bay route. It is CALI
ed, The Washington and Atlantic
railroad, and is designed to run in q
direct line from Washington city to
the Breakwater. It is altogether a
better route, has few if any debts,
while the other route, has been aban-
doned years ago, owing, we are told,
very many outstanding obligations,
for which no provisions were made.
A survey Of the Washington and
Atlantic route (what is called, we be.
live, a needle survey is as follows !:
From Washington to Annapolis,
thence across the bay to Kent Island
in transfer boats, thence in direct
line to Georgetown, Del, connecting
with a road already in operation from
Georgetown to the Break water
From Annapolis to Baltimore anoth-
er company, (Annapolis and Balti-
more Short Line, with desirable leg
islative grants, will connect their
road with theW Washington and Atlantic
at Annapolis. From the east side
of Kent Island branch road will run
down the peninsula to Salisbury
thus giving Baltimore direct rail CON-
munication with every county on the
Eastern Shore of this State and draw
large trade to that city from the
lower part of Delaware
The combined capital Of the Wash
ington and Atlantic and the A. & B.
Short Line, is four millions (two mil
lions each, with extraordinary legis-
lative grants, which make their
charters valuable. These roads when
completed would develop large ex-
tent Of Maryland territory, give in
creased facilities to our coal trade,
restore to Baltimore, to some exten-
at least, her lost trade with the East
ern Shore, and bind that prosperous
section Of our State more closely to
the Western side ofthe bay.
The route from Kent Island to
Lewes would give to Maryland little
or none of these advantages, and it was
abandoned years ago because found
to be impracticable and Improbable.
The CAPITAL cautions our sister city
to Be careful in che proposed confer
ence. It looks to us, with our knowlt
edge Of the matter, as . bold dash on
the part Of those who hold the worth
less securities Of the defnnct company
to realize on their bad investments.

A boy and dog make the greatest of

IL ing as going back on the other. Their
friendship for each other is true and faith.
full. Ii on meet one you are pretty sure to
see the other near by. and if one gets into q
quarrel, the other is sure to take hand in
it. Did you ever notice boy and dog
that have been together any length of time?
OF course you have. Why, thee understand
each other as well, and be tier, in fact, than
two boys would. The dog knows exactly
what his little master means when he speaks,
and will stick up his ears. turn his head on
one side then on the other and look the boy
square in the face with
an all but human expression
on his countenance when he is
being talked to. 1t is, Glove me, love my
dog" with every Roy. To insult one is to
insult the other, and an il salt to each is re-
sented by both. Why, you could no more
buy that dog OF his young master than you
could hire him to kill his best friend. The
wag OF that dogs tail is OF more value tt the
boy than anything else, aside, may be, his
mothers love, in the world. A dog Is most
excellent companion to give q boy. That
dumb brute will be true even to death to the
boy, and his faithfulness to his young friend
does, to q certain extent, create q true aud
faithful disposition in the boy toward his
friends. A boy is generally in good company

Could there be , happier

appoints is best. Could there be happier
feeling than that?
And yet this is no easy attainment 1t 10
not born in rs. 1t has TO be learned; and
Paul had Learned it; taking his first lesson
when he first said, Lord what wilt thou
have me TO do?" 1t was in Cnrist's school
that he had made the attainment; aud in
his strength that he was able both to be
''abased" and TO abound" "I can do all
things in him that strengtheneth me-"
Here is Christian serenity and content
ment; good within the reach of all. To il
the world Is q stranger To Ii every Chris
tian ought to be able to testify.
PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS.
1. Gloomy Christians make il appear as il
ii were hard thing to be ''in the Lord"
2. If long face is no sign OF piety, neither
lie fiippant joke and empty laughter.
3. The Apostle would have us rejoice
always" and sin nothing be anxious; have
we regarded that possible?
4. Paul would have Us first think, and
then do. As a man thinkesh so Is he. He
who thinks evil will come to do 1t.
). Do not say, VI cannot help my thoughts"
Paul assumes the opposite. Keep this evil
out by keeping coed In.
6. Thinking should never lee made q SUBJ
stitute for doing. God has no rewards for
those who think and 'ssy and do not"
Z, Who is so free, so independent, 60 rich,
az he who has learned to be content with
much or little? Just that is one of the les
sons Christ would teach rs, and enable rs to
practise. Happy Christian!
