ANNAPOLIS. ND. MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 2 1885,



The other afternoon, writes q New
York correspondent. bright, pretty,
successful newspaper writer came to
call on me. She was plump rs par
fridge. pretty rs a peach. rs full of chat
ter as a magpie. Her gown was of
moss-green velvet. her wrap Parisian,
her bonnet daisy. She earns some-
thing like $4,000 year, adding to her
salary by the always lucrative work of
writing the lives of actresses, who will
pay anything from 5000 to $500 for a
pleasantly written little volume. She
knew every theater man and woman in
New York, had boxes and stalls at her
disposal, was run after by dramatic
readers and young authors. She filed
her talk with quotations from "Mikado"
and "Adonis, = knew to a dot what this
writer was doing. what that manager
was up to, what that artist was about,
how much money Pond has lost on
Cable. She was due at reception,
reading. an interview with manager
for friend. was going to the opera,
and would be off by the midnight train
for Philadelphia. She sat doubled up
with one foot under her, and told me
the very cream of the literary, personal,
and dramatic gossip of New York, Bos-
ton, and Philadelphia.
She talked for two hours, and finally
it occurred to her that she had hired
coupe waiting at the door. She count
ed up on her fingers, zone, two, three,
four, fiven hours she had had the man,
pulled a $5 bill out of her pocket, and
tossed it down the steps to him. He
grumbled. and was ugly and imperti-
nent. She calmly shut the door in his
face, walked back to the drawing-room,
doubled up costly on her pretty foot,
and talked for another two hours. She
told me the contents of book to come
out next week, of a picture not yet var
nished. She gossiped and chattered
until my head buzzed with amazement.
felt worse leftover than ever before.
Here she was, born and bred in this
whirligig of a life; so busy, so eager, so
live; here / was with my heart set on
my old gray city, basking in the South
ern sun, reading the books that were
written last year, singing the songs that
were old last year, thinking the thoughts
that were bearded last year, reciting the
poems that were stale last year; year
behind, as she seemed to be year
ahead, of the times. 10 her there were
no gods, still less any goddesses. DO
you wonder my head whirledP

looking for 4 Creditor.

An honest-faced old stranger, well in
to the sixties, and apparently well-to-do,
called at the Office Of leading whole
sale grocery firm on St. Peter street last
Monday afternoon, evidently a little
puzzled at the appearance of all around
him. I'm from Trout river and I've
just been down along St Paul street, /"
said he. ..Ain't there been a good many
changes thereabouts?" Yes, a good
many changes there of late years, re-
piled the merchant I've been looking
up and down that street. " continued the
stranger, '.fhe last two hours for man
who sold me some shirts once and /
warted to pay him balance due on
them" "Hm, Inn, said the merchant.
II remember what the place looked like;
the man lived over his store, up flight
OF steps on the side Of the building. I
wanted few shirts, but didn't want to
pay the price he asked. / told him /
didn't have more money than / had of
fered AS was leaving the store he
called out and said | could take them
and pay the balance next time came
to town. Now can't find the place
"How long ago was it2n queried the
merchant Well. somewhere along in
1886. replied the stranger, scarcely able
to refrain from joining in the shouts Of
laughter that arose from the listeners.

Is Lager-Beer an Intoxlcant2

A stone-cutter, whose Office adioined
his stone-Yard, was seated in his Office
when friend called upon him, and
they discussed several topics together,
among them the question as to what ex-
tent lager-beer was an intoxicant. The
stone-cutter maintained that beer was
not intoxicating. while his friend main
tanned the opposite. The stone-cuttcr
said, there is Il man at work in the yard
(pointing to a brawny- -chestcd Germany
who could drink bucket (thrce gal
lons) of beer at one sitting and feel
none the worse for it. The friend
doubted, and a wager was made and the
workman called, who when asked If he
could drink that bucket (pointing to
large water bucket) full OF beer at one
sitting, replied: ssVell, don'd know;
/ lets you know after a vile. The Ger
man went away, and after remaining
about fifteen minutes, returned, and
said, Eyes, can trink dot peer" The
bucket of beer was procured and placed
before the German, who very soon alb
sorbed the last drop. and arose from
his seat, wiping his mouth with his
sleeve, and was walking away with a
firm step, when his employer recalled
him and said to him: See here, my
friend and / have some curiosity to
know why you did not drink the beer
when you were first asked The Ger
man replied: ''Vell, don'd know dot
/ could trink it, so vent out und trink
a bucked, den know could do it. -

Visions, charged as clashing with con
stitutional restrictions and limitations
entirely similar to ours, have been in
terpreted in the sense which we have
herein adopted. In Justice to the la
bors of the j~urists whose opinions we
h~ave.carefully studied in this connec
ton, we must say that our conclusions
in the present controversy have been
superinduced by their reasoning, and
by a laudable desire t. harmonize the
Jurisprudence Of this State with that of
the several States Of tile Union on a
question of such vast Importance
eve, therefore, conclude that the or
dinance under consideration finds am
pie support in legislative grant of pow
er to the State, and that its adoption
and enforcement do not infringe on
any constitutional provision, restriction
or Imitation
Whilst it is true that the above Ian
guage of the supreme Court was not
necessary to the determination Of the
particular case which was before it at
