A Favorite PIace 81 Resort.

During the charming summer wealth
er with which Annapolis has been
blessed, the State House Hill has
proven the most inviting resort for
our people, who betake themselves
thereto every evening, and who seem
to enjoy the pleasant seats that have
been SO suitably arranged thereabouk.
There are only two things wanting
on the Hill. and they are few more
shade trees and q few more seats.
The latter should by all means be
supplied.

in the Seventh ward, and all of the hose
companies and the hook and ladder truck
made a rush in that direction. Rescue

in seven minutes from the time of the

was in the Kitchen of Augustana college.

truth or foundation about it. He with
about thirteen others went out Of the

refusal to support Logan was Immediately

done in the senatorial fight for several
weeks, or until a successor is elected in
the place of Logan of Whitesidc county.
Tuc roll viii be called as usual every
noon, but a quorum will not respond and
no election can be had unless a quorum
OF each house is present. 4 quorum Of
the house is scventyseven, or Just the
number OF democratic members, and a
quorum in the senate is twentysix, Just
the number Of republican members. Thus
Il quorum on Joint ballot is 103 votes,
which neither party ca q command. There

even should every democrat vote for Nor :

Go into the Pilot House.

Passengers and pilots on the upper
Mississippi steamboats,, last summer,
protested so vchemcntiy against the rule
made last summer, that nobody but off
Gals of Steamboats, who had business
there should be allowed in the pilot
houses OF packets, that the board OF SUI
pcryising inspectors are authorized to
grant permits to masters of passenger
steamers TO admit limited numbers OF
passengers into the pilot houses during
daylight and for any abuse of this priv,
lcge supervising inspectors are clothed
with full power to either revoke such
permit, or suspend it for such period OF
time as in their Judgment the particular
case may justify.
But steamboats,, when engaged in car.
ryihg excursions are mot allowed to adj
nit any persons other than those engaged
in navigating the steamer, or representa-,

LaQghable,


The Union has a habit which we would
advise it to drop. 1t would surely do so
could it see itself as others see ii, and
consult its own best interests. We give
this advice in good faith, for the items IN
which the Union affects the English are
so utterly without point or meaning, that
they are tiresome and uncomfortable. Posi-
bly, they are meant for jokes, but they are
so far>fetched that they become lost in
obscurity before they reach the public
eye, If they are meant as such. We have
been unable to find anyone who could
find sense in them and we have aboW
concluded that it was not due to the oh
fuse nature of our intellect that we fail to
find anything smart o. funny in them.
The board of supervisors seems 10 be the
subject of one or two of these illusions,
and a leather medal seems to be the cake
that causes the nightmare imaoinings that
find their way into the columns of The
Union, but beyond that it is as impossible
to make head or tail as from the widest
Authorizations of disordered mind. The
following is one of the rays OF effulgent
light which the morning sunbeam sends
forth:
THAT was terrific blast with which
the Union announced the final session OF
the board of supervisors, said BreaN II
on Saturday. "Awfully noisy thing;
almost heard the heralds,' said Jownes
by the by, what We're hera'ds and why
were they" queried Breawn. "Hcralds
were fellows in old times who used to
proclaim with flourish of trumpets the
knights who entered list for combat,
replied Jownes. But the SupeS are not
knights, protested Breawn NO, said
Jownes 'they are days, four and two
halves make six YOU know, and the only
list they care to enter is the one contains
ing their per diem and mileage" And
that, observed Breawn, thougktfully,
that is the very list of time they don't
want entered on their minutes" Jowncs
whistlcd softly, but made no other res
iOinder.
The Funereal Form must be troubled
with expansion of the hat band to write
such an item as the above.
