The McDoNoGH FARM SCHOOL,
Mr.. John Esten Cooke, the WE'LL
known author and writer of Virginia
who has lately been sojourning in the
neigbborhood, writes an able article
to the New York Sun descriptive of
the McDonogh Farm School under
the care and management of Col W
Allan, Principal, and the good ac-
complished under the curriculum pur-
sued, as advised by the will Of the
founder, the late John McDonogh.
The following short extract from Mr..
Cookies article will prove of interest
to the friends of the school:
"Col. William Allen, Principal of
the school, a gentleman of high char
acter and administrative ability Of the
first order, has had charge for about
twelve years. Col Allan was pro-
lessor in Washington and Lee Col
lege, but was invited to assume his
present duties as one eminently fitted
by intelligence and energy to direct
the institution; and the gentlemen of
his staff, four in number, appear 10

farm of SS5 acres, formerly called
Foxleigb, less than one mile from

elevation exceedingly healthful, and

the visitor to the school, which

Of large size belonging to the former
owner of the estate; but the new
building, as the McDonOgh boys call
it, begun in 1881, is now completed

The Baltimore Sun of yesterday
has an excellent editorial on the sub
ject Of closer connection with Balti.
more and the Eastern Shore. 1t falls,
however, into the common error of
appealing to the liberality of Balti-
more business men who have no lib
erality beyond saddliDg the city with
taxation to aid public improvements
designed in great part for their espec-
ial benefit. The experience of those
who labored to secure Baltimore capt.
tai to build the A. & B. Short Line
railroad attests the indifference With
which the business community Of
Baltimore look upon all enterprises
that do not clearly point out a quick
return Of every dollar, with a half or
quarter added to it, they may invest
in anything outside of their legiti-
mate business. Ground rents and
mortgages and similar securities con-
iine their vision within the limits of
the city. If aid is granted to out
side operations it is done through the
money and credit of the city corpora
ton, where the poor mans humble
homestead is equally responsible with
the mansions of those who reap the
main benefits.
If General Seth depends upon Bal.
timore capitalists to build his Eastern
Shore railroad, be will never build it
mot because there is no capital in
that city, but because there is no cour-
age to allow a dollar to escape their
grasp without sure guarantee that

General Seth must look beyond the
monuments Of Baltimore for success

Steadily the veteran YanKee infantry,
who had to hold their line of earthworks or
take TO the water, loaded and fired. Our
men fell by hundreds. We staggered on
through this storm of bullets and canister
for five minutes We had not reached the
Union line Then we heard exultant shouts
to our left and through the drift
ing smoke caught a glimpse of our
battle flags planted on the Federal
breastworks on the hill and as We
saw the men clad in gray Chamber over the
works and disappear, we redoubled our
efforts to take the line in front of US. Its
fire did not slacken a particle. Its defenders
paid no attention to the disaster that had
overtaken their center. As We drew closer
the parapet, Redeemed in the smoke and tina
fire, resambled the fury of hell in its intensity.
Then loud above the battles roar sounded
the charging cheer of the Yankee troops,
and we knew that the Confederates who had
broken the Federal center were being called
upon to make good their success by meeting
the charge of the Yankee reserves Could
they Withstand it, Promptly came the an
swer. There was a solid crash of musketry
from that portion of the line, and in an in
slant the remnants of the victorious Con-
federates swarmed out of the captured
works and ran for cover. Instantly the
earthwork was manned by double lire Of
blue-coated infantry who shot down tie
flying Confederates by scores.
We pressed on We were so close to the
works that some of our men fell into the
ditch And we could see the eyes of the
Yankee infantry as they looked over their
rifle sights. Their faces were pallid, their
jaws set, and their eyes blazed with battle
light. never before saw such rapid hand

SO warmly that left my horse and followed
him into the graveyard His simple, but
not undignifed, Introduction made an
apology to the lady unnecessary.
"Missis Wilson," he said, gallantly taking
off his fower-trimmed hat, "this gentleman
was in the war, and I've asked him in to help
put the flowers on Capt Rathbone's grave"
We were on the ground of common sympa-
thy at once This woman was no longer young,
but she was beautiful with the beauty of
spirit that had long dwelt on calm heights. She
was of the past, scarcely seeming to belong to
the present at all Her soft black silk and
its laces, and even her face, were of fashion
not new. She was an old-school lady, with
the gentle dignity and majesty of manner
that indicate the old-school training

one left here who knew him or cares to lay a

hand resting on the soldiers headstone, her
eyes seeing visions of the past, and nothing

the foot of the grave, with tears dripping
down his brown cheeks The tale had
touched him, little as he could understand
the deep tras .dy of it And 1 heard again
the clash aid thunder of war, saw the
blazing fires of battle and felt, in a rush of
memory, the fierce fever of those vanished
days of carnage.
The boy followed me out to the roadside.
