Az OJd Colorad Man Frozen to Death

An Old Colored Man Frozen to Death
His Trip from Waverly to Towsontown,
&c.-Harry Brown, colored, supposed to be up
wards of so years of age was found dead in the
Office of Herteps brick yard, Waverly, on Thurs
day morning. He had been employed in the
brick yard when it was in operation. He had a
small bed in the Office, but no fire, and is sup
posed to have frozen to death Wednesday night.
An inquest was held and the verdict was that de-
ceased came to his death from old age and ex-
posture. The body was taken to Waverly station
house and from thence it was brought to Towson-
town in q wagon, and after being hauled around
our streets for awhile, it was returned to Waverly
again. Why the body was not taken to Potter s
field is unknown. If the old man had received as
much attention before as he did after he died, the
result might have been different. The idea OF
hauling the body of the poor old darkey from
Waverly to Towsontown, before place had been
secured to bury him, is past finding out. Some
people are very enterprising and their greatest
desire is to turn everything into money-even q
dead "nigger." When the bill for this service is
rendered to the Board of County Commissioners
they should give it close scrutiny, and pay fol
just what was actually required and no more.

Some Members Of the Legislature.-The
Annapolis correspondent of the Evening News
says: "Among the members of the House of Del
egates are two who frequently engage in argu-
ment. These are Mr. L. w. Gunther, of Baltimore
city, and Mr.. James j. Lindsay, of Baltimore
county. The asking for an order or the submits
sion of resolution by either of these gentleman
is apparently signal for the other to rise imme-
diatey in opposition. Yesterday when Mr.. Lind
say submitted his resolution that the Maryland
Congressman be requested to favor the repeal of
the civil service act, he suggested that it be refer
red to the committee on Federal relations. Mr.
Gunther Immediately interposed query as to
whether it ought to 60 to that committee. Mr..
Lindsay insisted that it should, and it was finally
so referred. Then both gentlemen smilingly sat
down. This is but an instance to show the char
acter of their legislative fencing, which seems to
afford both of them as much amusement as it does
their fellow-le Legislators.
"Mr. Gunther's personal appearance is so well
known in Baltimore that pen sketch of him is
unnecessary. Mr.. Lindsay, however, living in
the county, is not so familiar to Baltimoreans.
He is young lawyer and man of considerable
force of style. His seat is directly in front of the
Speakers desk, one of the most prominent posi-
tions on the floor and place from which his
spare figure and smooth face are seldom absent,
He is one of the active workers in the Legislature
"Mr. VIM. Pole, ST., also of Baltimore county
occupies the seat at the end of that delegation
furthest from that of Mr.. Lindsay. Though MOI
young man, Mr.. Pole has taken his full share
in the work thus far.
"Mr. Michael O'Hara is from Texas, Baltimore
county. He is one of the tallest members and il
also possessed of considerable energy. Frequent
ly taking part in the proceedings he keeps him.

ton is $25. City Congressman, it is said, swap
their lot of seeds for the scientific publications of
the Government, regarding seeds as useless to
urban constituents. But are the Agricultural
Departments seeds of use to anybody? Con-
CHEESEMAN'S present seed bounty consists of 1000
or 5000 packages, for which the sum of $25 seems
a very small price. They cost the Government a
good deal more than that. Agricultural reports,
on the other hand, are quoted at five cents copy,
an extraordinarily high price, but probably they
are in demand as curiosities.
