Hon. J. Frank Turner, for Comptroller
and Hon. Spencer c. Jones, for clerk Of
the Court of Appeals, were UNANIMOUSLY re-
nominated by the Democratic Satate Conven-
ton on We dnesday. These nominations were
foregone conclusions, and both are in accord
with the desire of the Democracy of the state.
Both are tried and efficient officers, and Their
re- election will assure continuance Of
efficient service in their respective offices.
Hon. James B. Groome, of Cecil, was chair
man of the convention, which was called to
the order by Hon. A. P. German, chairman Of
State Central Commute, in a stirring speech.
The platform of the convention is lengthy,
and will be published in our next issue.

The beautiful phenomena witnessed at sun
rise and sunset, which attracted so much at
tention two years ago, still continue. The
mornings and evenings, when clear, are glow
ing and gorgeous, more beautiful, says an
European traveller, than anything ever pre-
sented by the sunny skies of Italy. Wewon-
der if the learned scientists and PHILOSOPHERS
still adhere to the theory so oracularly and
confidently advanced two years ago, as to
the cause of these glowing sunsets, when they
ascribed them to volcanic dust? To our ap-
prehension it would appear to be very long
time for the dust of volcanic eruption to be
afoat in the upper atmosphere. The nom
scientific world would prefer to ascribe them
to meteoric rather than volcanic origin.

Politics in Frederick county promise to be
lively this fall. The Democrats will make a
gallant fight for the county, and the Repub-
Iicans are not as harmonious as might be. The
Prohibitionists, it is said, will put ticket in
the field also, and three cornered fight will
result. The Prohibition ticket will serve for
the disgruntled to throw their votes away on,
as did the St. John and Daniel ticket
during the last presidential contest Throughout
the entire country.

Hon. A. P. German should feel exalted
over the high position given him by the
Democracy of Maryland. Nearly every Dem
ocratic county convention has recognized his
able services to the Democratic party in the
management Of the presidential campaign,
and now the state convention has done SINH
larly Not only this, but most of the county
conventions have endorsed him for reelection

On the death of Wilmer Davit Biggs, son of Alfred
j. and Elizabeth Bankert, aged years and 10 days
oh! Wilmer dear, we loved thee much,
How could we love thee more.
But Angels lowered DER thy crib
And called thee from our door.
"Come unto me-" the Saviour said,
In accents sweet and mild,
"Come unto me-" he sayeth now,
TO thee thou little child.
An angel came to gather flowers
To deck the throne of Heaven,
He took our little Wilmer,
Our cherished hope and joy.
We tried in vain to keep him,
Our darling angel boy
Fold those waxen hands together,
Close those dark and beamng eyes,
See how like broken lily
Pale and beautiful he lies.
Close the white casket. lock 1t with care,
Never was angel more lovely and fair.

Among the many features to be seen in the mu-
scum of the Frank A. Robbins New Show. which
will exhibit here October 1st is Aimee, the Tat
tooed Lady. She is in fact living art gallery, there
being less than 700 different objects wrought in
red and blue ink upon her fair skin, They resem-
BILE all sorts of beasts designs and secret ephlemS
Mile, Aimee has a remarkable history. having been
born i'll the ancient city, st. Augustine, Florida,
where she was a society lady much sought after by
the elite of the city. Her father who was cap
tain, had mania for tatooing. and had compelled
his sailors to endure the most fearful torture TO
satisfy his morbid desire. On of his voyages to
the Pacific Ocean his wife and daughter accom-
panied him. His vessel was captured by the South
Sea Islanders who, when they saw the wonderful
marks upon the bodies of the crew, and learned
that the captain the author of the strange de-
vice, insisted upon his tatooing his own wife and
daughter. His wife could not endure the fearful
torture and yielded up her life Mile Aimee, being
young and in the first bloom of womanhood bore
the terrible ordeal with so much bravery that she
impressed even the savage brutes to such extent
that after she had recovered they granted herself
and father their liberty. To complete the seven
hundred different pictures which upon her
body required the skin to be punctured over three
millions of times and two years of labor. Mr.. Rob
bins, at a great expense, engaged this wonderful
example of human endurance, and she will be on
exhibition at each performance. She is Il remark
ably handsome and intelligent lady, and is always
pleased to with her visitors an relate her
wonderful story.

Frank Bobbns' Circus captivated the old and the
young folks at Flushing Park yesterday afternoon
and evening. The heavy shower which fell at the
commencement of the afternoon entertainment,
caused many people to stay away, but in the even
ing the large tent filed to overfowing, consd-
erably over two thousand people being present.
The menagerie was an extensive one. and contained
collection of animals from all parts of the globe.
The performances in the rings were first class and
won the applaudits of the immense audience. The
exhibition of equestrianism by Mr.. Charles w. Fish.
who is allowed to be the most agile and finished
horseman in the profession, was truly wonderful
and alone worth the price of admission. Pete, y
the wonderful clown elephant, showed to what a
high degree of proficiency these creatures can be
trained. His comical tricks fairly brought down
the house. The lady riders, acrobats, and iron
lawed lady-who performed many feats lifting with
her teeth = contortionists, strong man, trained
horses, ponies, etc. filed in comprehensive and
most enjoyable bill. Mr.. James Z. Cook, the veteran
horseman, performed the feat of riding four bare
backed horses Altogether the performance was of

of the great success which attended his visit to
Flushing.-EUeniRg Journal.
