Dear Beacon The last month OIL
the session has begun and the two
Houses have settled down to earnest
work. Leaves TO introduce bills con.
Time TO pour in and bills on their
third reading and final passage are
becoming numerous. The House has
begun holding night sessions and on
these occasions while some good work
y done there j. generally good deal
q skylarking. Last Tuesday night,
Mr. White, Of Worcester, was called
70 the Chair. A number Of members
being absent --some courting--some
theatre going-a call Of the House
was ordered. No quorum being pres.
snt the sergeant.at Arms was ordered
to bring in the abrentees. The above
mentioned official ia tall burly man
standing about Q fact 5 inches, and
Nc, Penn, Of Baltimore city moved 10
appoint Mr. King, Of Your county, a.
committee Of one to assist him. The
city member being also very small,
NJ. x. moved 10 amend the motion
by Including him in the committee on
the ground that both put together
might possibly make one good man.
The Sergeant soon returned with The
abssniees who were arraignsd before
he bar q the house and compelled to
explain their absence. Some ii the
culpritsgayevery amusing excuses and
az the same time charged the pro TEN.
Speaker with arbitrary and tyrannical
fulinss and conduct. The gentleman
in The chair was, however, equal to
the occasion and from the peculiar
set Of his eyea was able to see points

Your petitioner states further that
bis interest In the primary schools Of
thia State is second to that Of no one,
and That he would chesrmlly do all
in his power compatible with his Judi
cial duties to advance the interest Of
such schools.
But your petitioner has become sat
isfed by the experience be has
acquired in the appointment Of School
Commissioners, that the making oi
such appointments. is to say the least,
very inappropriate for Judge, and
that such duty lessons the respect due
to, and has strong tendency to i'm
pair the usefulness Of the Bench.
That these appointments are much
sought after aud in some cases they
have even largely influenced the ja-
dicial election,
After their election, the Judges are
often importuned. and every conceiv-
able influence brought to bear on
thata sosiaduce the appointment Of
particular Commissioners. That all
Of this IL Injurious to the Judiciary
itself is almost self.evident.
That whether the Judiciary can be
conatitutionally required to perform
duties not judicial, | do not now pro-
pose to discuss, except to say, that /
think there is high authority that they
cannot.
All now wish is to ask this Hon.
orable Body to examine into this sub
ject, and il the Legislature is satisfied
that am not in error that they win
relieve the Judges from what is to
me, at least, nost disagreeable and
inappropriate duty, imposed by the
Act Of Assembly. have no suggss-
tons whatever to make to your Hon.
orable Body. as into whose hands these
appointments should be placed. I am
satisfied that this trust could be bet
ter discharged by other agencies than
the judiciary, and that the exercise
Of this patronage, If ] may so term it,
strongly tends to impair the useful
ness Of every Judge who exercises II,
and should be at once changed.

LEoNARDToWN. Mo.
THURSDAY Morning, March lin, 1850.

As the "spec i to the BEACON from
annapolis. published 10 our Issue two
weeks since, represented the reasons
actually assigned by Gov. Lloyd for
depriving oar county Of a tobacco in
spector, to which she was justly en-
titled, first, as compared with Calvert,
on party grounds secondly, on ac-
connt Of her larger interest in tobac.
co culture, and, lastly, because Of her
long exclusion from front position
in any Of the tobacco warehouses, we
have thought il useless and waste Of
words TO enter in this number any pro-
test against the injustice that has been
done our county, because the act is
now an accomplished fact and in the
nature Of the irrevocable. We hope,
however, that His Excellency does not
expect the democrats Of st. Mary's to
accept the conclusion that, because
"Mr. R. and Mr. g. protested till the
last" that therefore Nc was justified in
depriving our county of her rightful
dues and giving the appointment Of
inspector TO his friend and ex. brother
Senator, Mr.. Bond. Of Calvert, when
there were hundreds of citizens in our
county who would have been glad to
have had the appointment, and were
qualified to I'll it. four or FIVE Of whom
were actual applicants for the place
and were moi handicapped by any pro.
tests whatever. We are afraid that
the appointment Of a tobacco inspec-
tor from ST. Mary'a was not in the
programme this year and that Mr.
Bonds re.appointment aoas. But
whether this be mere guess on our
part or an actual fact, 1t Is plain 10
opr mind that we cannot now better
tie situation by hard words or pro-
tests against fixed result. It sug-
gests itself to us that the best way for
the democracy Of our county, to act
under the circumstances Is to stand
by the party colors and 10 hope for
better treatment from our partyrulers
IN the future. Any other course 10.
wolves political suicide. Besides, itis
not unlikely that His Excellsncy, see
ing after reflection the injustice he
has done our county in ignoring her
and making the tobacco appointment
IN question, may make her an agea,de
n the shape Of some compensating
recognition that he may yet hayeltin

Kaleidoscope are made to sell at
from five cents TO Sve dollars each, the
latter being used great deal by car
pet designers and for like purposes. In
factory in New York a reporter found
eight girls at work before a long bench,
this being the system of operations
The first young woman wraps black
paper about the glass refectors which
produce the optical delusion. These
strips of glass, when thus arranged and
fastened together, form the body of the
kaleidoscope. The next girl simply in
serts the united refiectors into the
pasteboard cover, and then passes the
octagonal pasteboard tube to her neigh
Dor. Number three adjusts the brass
ring which secures the glass disks in
the end. Between the disks or plates
are placed the scraps of colored glass,
the beads and various trinkets which
tumble about as the kaleidoscope Is re-
volved, and when reflected by the mir
rors form themselves into ever-shift-
ing, fantastic forms The other young
women are armed with hammers to
break the colored glass into fragments.
The colored glass is obtained from the
waste scraps, purchased very cheap, at
stained glass manufactures.

While the President was at Freder-

men had no objection he would be glad

pels the prosecution of this war, but it
is probable that many are our enemies

L bear these no malice, and take them
by the hand with sympathy and good
feeling" Looking at the tall man
standing there, the embodiment in
their ignorance and intensity of all the
hatred they bore the Union, strange
dissonance, like bells that begin TO
Jingle before they are chimed, went
through the house. The silence con-
tinued until it looked as if there was
no brotherhood. Suddenly, one man
walked up and took the Presidents

Filtration I'm the Woods.

Filtration in the woods is always a
more serious and impressive thing than
in town. You'll see couple come
gradually together in a camp or at a
hotel by the seaside. As much as two
or three days will elapse before any
special affinity develops itself. Then
you'll see the little attentions of deli
cate nature; they segregate from par
ties first, not too obviously; then they
take to kind of devoting themselves to
each other; then they get taking strolls
alone, and the seriousness becomes i'm
posing. The other campers or cutters
are very respectful; a compact seems
to exist that Irritation shall be respect
ed. But the demure air they both put
on is awfully funny.-Sdn Franc SEQ

A Chinese MYTH.

The curious belief exists in China
that white hairs are spread over the
ground by earthquakes, some Affirming
that the hairs are those of the huge sub
terraneous animal that shakes the world.
DIR. Mcgowan has suggested that fine
crystals have been deposited from case
GUS emissions during shocks, but in
chnes to the opinion that the hairs of
the Chinese traditions had vegetable
origin. This leads Prof. w. 4. Dyer
to point out that an English writer
who had the curiosity to investigate
the alleged phenomenon after an earth
quake at Shanghai in 1852, found that
the hairs were those of horses, dogs
and well-known plants, and, of course,
were no more numerous than at other
times

There is growing disposition among
scientific men to discuss the "sea-ser-
pent" as creature whose existence is
is not at all improbable. The discov-
cry within recent years of the giant
squids of the Atlanti some of which
may attain length of fifty feet is
cited as a demonstration that large ma
rine animals may have escaped the at
tention of science even to the present
day. Only an ignorant or thought
less individual, indeed, will dare as
sert that there may not be some de-
scendent of the monsters of cretaceous
