s-Nothing has yet been definitely settled in
the 18th district with reference to the coming
Democratic primary. proposition was made,
we learn, that Mr.. Quinlan, for Clerk, name two
men for the delegate ticket; Mr.. Ady, for Sheriff,
two, and that the four select fifth man, but this
arrangement had not been consummated this
week. 1t was also proposed that as there were
several candidates in the district for the Legisa-
ture that they run on the Crawford system, the
man getting the most votes to be the choice of the
district. Mr.. James ]. Lindsay, who was mem
Der of the last House from that district is again
candidate, and his friends claim that he can poll
a large majority of the votes. Many of the lead
ing men in the district are for Mr.. QuinIin for
Clerk, and they are anxious that his claims shall
have proper consideration.

M9-In the 10th district Mr.. Edward S. Peerce
is booming for County Commissioner. 1t lie now
pretty we'll understood that Mr.. John Smith, who
was named for Commissioner, will not be in the
fight, and perhaps it is well for him because it is
generally believed that he is in some way tied on
in the 10th district is by means frst-class. In
fact any man who is supposed to have faint of
Isaac about him wouldn't stand ghost of a chance
in that district. The district is close, with per-
haps small Democratic majority, but in 1879 it
gave over one hundred majority against the boss
for Clerk, and would more than double the dose
should he again push himself on the party.

rs it not reflection upon the people Of
Baltimore county to hear any one say that if the
coming Democratic county convention does not
renominate Boss Isaac for Clerk of the Court,
where will it look for man competent to fill that
position. Has Baltimore county got SO low down
in the scale of intelligence that it is necessary for
her to import men from Howard county to fill her
Offices? If this is the case the sooner Baltimore
city swallows up the whole county the better it
will be. But we are among the thousands who
will not make so disgraceful an admission. There
are a thousand men in Baltimore county who can
fill that Office as well-nay, far better than the
present incumbent-and they will conduct the
Office in the interest of the Taxpayers and not to
subserve their own personal ends. If the Demo-
Gratis fail to find one of these it will be their own
fault. W

Mrs. Grants Income.
PHILADELPHIA Times.

The country is daily Inundated by sensational
newspaper reports of the financial necessities of
Genera. Grants family. In common decency
this wrong to the bereaved family should stop.
Mrs. Grant is the only dependent of General
Grants estate or income. She has had no ex-
pense at all while at Mt McGregor, and will have
none connected with the funeral She has the
assured income of $3.50 900 of the trust fund.- and
the assured income of from S2O0,0 to $500, 900
from Grants book, with a certain Congressional
annuity of $4,000. Her sons are all married and
presumably able to take care of themselves, and
her only daughter is married and comfortably
provided for. Her income will be moro than
ample for all possible wants. and she should not
be paraded in the newspapers as a mendicant.

TEA little daughter of DR.. z. M. Wiley, re-
siding on west Lombard street, Baltimore, was i'll
on Saturday last and her father sent prescrip-
ton to Kirbys drug store, near by, for medicine.
In filing the prescription the young clerk, Charles
M. Bailey, made mistake, substituting morphia
for some other drug. The medicine was given
and the child grew instantly worse and died on
Sunday morning. When Bailey's attention was
called to the matter he admitted that he had made
a mistake in using the morphia instead of the
medicine that had been prescribed. A jury of
inquest rendered verdict in accordance with
these facts and Bailey was sent to Jail to await
the action of the grand jury.

GEN. GRANT AND HIS PHYSICIAN.

While sitting on the hotel porch at Mount Nc
Gregor, on the afternoon of July Oath, DIR. Doug
lass talked at some length with press correspon-
dent about Gen. Grant and of the long trial and
suffering just ended. The DR.. said: "Do you re-
member that during last week l said to you that
there was subsistence of the swelling in the over
lying tissues on the right side of the neck, and
that said on the day spoke about it that had
been able to examine the Generals throat much
deeper and with greater ease than in long time?
Do you remember that? ?"
His hearer recollected it clearly and said so.
"Well, them" resumed Dr. Douglass, "I am 60
ing to tell you of an experience I had with Gen
eral Grant On the afternoon of Thursday July
10th, and at the same time had observed the in
dications about the throat which have spoken
of. During the afternoon of that day the General
wrote this" Here DR.. Douglas drew from his
pocket several slips written by the General and
read what the sick man had written, which was
as follows:
81 feel sorry at the prospect of living through
the summer and fall in the condition I am in
do not think I can but l may. Except do
not gather strength, feel quite as well from day
to day as I have done heretofore. But / am los
ing strength. feel it more in the ability to move
around than in any other way, or rather in the
lack of desire to try to move"
"When 1 had read that" added DR.. Douglas,
"I turned to the General and tried to cheer him
by telling him of the apparently improved condi-
ton of his throat and neck to which in reply, the
General again wrote:
CATER all that, however, the disease is still
there and must be fatal in the end. My life is
precious, of course, to my family, and would be to
me if could recover entirely. There never was
one more willing to go than I. know most peo-
pie have first one and then another little thing to
fix up and never get quite through. This was
partially my case. 1 first wanted SO many days
to work on my book, so the authorship would be
clearly mine. 1t was graciously granted to me
after being apparently much lower than since,
and with capacity to do more work than ever
did in the same time. My work had been done
so hastily that much was left out, and did it all
over from the crossing of the James river in 1864
to Appomattox in 1865. Since that have added
as much as so pages to the book, I should think.
There is nothing more to do, and therefore I am
not likely to be more ready to 60 than at this
time"

@-F Four miles back from the coast of south
ern New Jersey are the ruins of the deserted viii
lage of Allaire. The place was the Utopian dream
of James D. Allaire, wealthy visionary, who
built it about 1910, embodying various reforma-
tory and socialistic ideas. He intended that it
should DO a manufacturing centre, with stores
where the inhabitants could buy at low prices,
and with schools for the higher education of all
the children. The enterprise was a quick and
total failure. The walls of the factories tum-
bled down and overgrown, and a cracked bell lies
at the foot of the steepe from which it fell years
ago.
