resolution of the HOUSE adopted last
January, is an interesting volume 1t
was complied by Mr. r A. Fish. as

Indebtedness results from embezzle-

charged up against Samuel Swartout,
who was collector of customs at New

Swartout was defaulter. This is
the largest item that appears in Mr.
Fish's work. The smallest is debt
of one ceDt due from the government

The Oyster SEASON To-day is

of that large and increasing section of
the population of Maryland for whom
the word oyster has sound sug-
gestive of the fruition of long cherish.

joys an absolute immunity for four
complete months, privilege not ac-
corded to its kindred of New Jersey
Delaware and Virginia, seeing that
whatever laws may be said to be in-
force in those States are rendered in
operative by processes wcll-kuown to
those who undertake to supply the
Philadelphia and other markets with
bivalves all the year round. To-
morrow then the oyster will be on
baud in Maryland markets, and o
boom for local industries will spring
up which cannot but react in the
happiest way a the prosperity of our
city. The truth must be It'd, and
the restauranteur has to confess that
there is no substitute for the oyster,
when the hand of the law shuts the
succnlent bivalve out of the market.

Love-Making In a Newspaper.

There lives i'll New York, said recent
importation from the East, a newspaper
man who is striking illustration of what
loye-making through the papers may &C
complish. He is now a gray-bearded man
OF leisure, but years and years ago he was
struggling young editorial writer on a
Western paper. lie wrote with a good deal
OF earneStness on sentimental topics. Hav-
ing conceived an earnest, devoted, absorb
ing love for young lady, and knowing that
she was greatly interestedin certain lines of
work and thought, he managed to put his
heart in his editorials for her benefit. do
not mean that he did not write for the pub
lie but that he wrote for the public better
because of the warmth in his heart toward
the woman he loved.
AT the same time he was carrying forward
an ideal character in a series of sketches.
He had pictured this young lady so plainly
that many recognized her as the heroine of
his romance. But so tenderly, SO delicately
was the character handled that any one
might have felt fiattered at all that was
SAID. In fact, the lady herself was in the
habit OF saying that she was content to be
regarded as the character so finely pictured.
But in time the heroine was carried toward
the hero of the story in a way to leave open
the question of her regard, and there the
sketches were broken off. At this time the
writer was the bluest man ever saw.
he told me that he had come to crisis i'm
his affairs. He had carried the discussion
In his editorials to point where he was in
danger OF showing to the public his attach
ment to the ideal who had inspired all of his
work on that line. He could not take the
story of his sketches any further without
limiting at denouement that might be very
offensive to the lady who had been kind
enough to be pleased with his picture of the
ideal woman. There was but one way out
of the trouble, and that was to tell the OBJ
Ject Q: his love how highly he regarded her.

the conductor interrupts his saddened
thoughts by a demand for his fare,
After long and anxious struggles in
ragged pockets he fishes out four
pennies, but seeks in vain for the fifth.
A gulp or two of suppressed emotion,
then tear that will escape, and gives a
piteous look at his neighbor as he holds
out the four coppers in his hand and
asks gently for the fifth, saving that he
thought he had just enough. The re-
pressed emotions of the passengers at
such gentleness and modesty i'm distress
burst forth, and in spite of all the poor
mans efforts TO prevent the shame of
taking assistance, twenty or more cop

something about good room once
more, and his head sinks down again.
But the memorable conductor taps his
shoulder once more with his demand for
fare.

Iron-Clads and Torpedo Boats.

A Berlin dispatch TO The London
Standard says: The new iron-clad
Oldenburg, will be of entirely novel
construction. 1t is a broadside ship,
with 10-inch guns, five on each side, two
above and three below deck, but the
whole five can be concentrated on the
same point with sufficient force, it is es-
timated, TO disable even the strongest
iron-clad. The displacement of the
0ldenburg is $500 tons, and her engines
$500 horsepower, enabling her to steam
fourteen English miles an hour. The
German government is apparently not
well satisfied with the construction of
the torpedo-boats at Stettin. 1t has or
dered new ones in England, and refuses
TO accept six that have been completed.
China also has ordered her three new
iron-clads to be built in England and
not at Stettin. Herr Schwarzkopf, of
Berlin, will on Tuesday next complete
bis thousandth torpedo.
