TaE DIsGRACEFUL conduct of two mem
bers of Congress yesterday will tend in no
slight degree to increase the number of those
who believe that the disuse of the duel has
been Injurious to the morals of the people.
In the earlier and better days of the coun'
try, when Congressman questioned the
honor of colleague tho matter went no
farther until the following morning, when,
in the presence oftheir seconds and surgeons,
they took quiet shot at each other at Bla-
densburg. But yesterday two OF them'
after abusing each other in the foulest bill
lingssate, went out of the House,in groggery
style, to the basement, where, surrounded by
a crowd of boys and servants, one mashed
the nose and eyes of the other, and left him
painting and covered with blood. If the
House have proper respect for Itself 1t will
expel them both at once. Both the parties
to this disgraceful affair are from the North.

BALTIMORE County, November Oath, 1885.
Editors Union In last weeks issue of your
paper you mention the fact that both Paymaster
Sergeant Geo. W. Seipp and Sergeant Major Thos.
G. Bruff, recently appointed by Col. III. Kyd
Douglas, of the First Regiment Infantry, NJ. N.
G., on the non commissioned staff of the regiment,
are residents of Towsontown.
ts SS T IL a hsR re- e Is b Il to
cause petty jealousies which, although they should
not, do exist in all military organizations. l
don't suppose the matter is of any interest or sig
nifcance to any one outside of the military, and
for this reason alone write. do not think for
one moment that you intended to cast any reaec-
tion on other sections of the county in which mill
tary organizations exist, but your intentions,
whatever they might be, would not prevent men,
bers of military companies elsewhere from crti-
csing Col. Douglas.
Some months since was consulted, and sup
pose all the Captains of other companies in our
command were also, concerning the appointments
for the regmental staff. The Sergeant Ma jor Of
regiment being an important Office, requiring
better clerical skill than any other not even ex-
cepting the Adjutant, whose assistant he is, de-
termined to urge my friend Mr. Bruff for the posi-
tion, and unknown to him wrote to Col. Douglas
to that end Afterwards I saw Mr.. Bruf and
after much persuasion he consented to accept the
position if offered him. The Colonel desired to
give our county two appointments and think he
has made excellent selections, even if I did recon-
mend one of them. All non commissioned officers
must be accredited to some company of the regi-
ment, and the Sergeant Major of our command is
accredited to Company F, although not subject to
company duty. Most respectfully,

g-Ten years ago William II. Terry, we'll
known citizen of Chicago, married the daughter
of John v. Farwell, q millionaire of that city,
and she is now seeking divorce. She alleges
that her husband is mean and brutal and that his
inordinate desire for money has caused him to
treat her shamefully when she refused to ask her
father for funds. Terry was so penurious that he
would not buy the ordinary necessaries of life for
his wife, and after he inherited 100000 from his
fathers estate he was even meaner than he was
before. Terry formulated set of rules to govern
his wife in her housekeeping affairs, of which the
following are samples: "She must make the cook
use drippings instead of lard butter must never
be thought of; lard is luxury" "Bones left at
table must be used for SOUP" "The house-maid
must wash the windows every day if she has
nothing else to do" If ever woman had just
grounds for divorce this one undoubtedly has.

@- Mr. E. S. Kelley, Jr., editor of the Annap-
lis Record, and prominent young Democrat of
that city, is highly indignant because his friend,
DR.. George Wells, of Annapolis, was not made
Internal Revenue Collector for Maryland. In the
last issue of his paper Mr.. Kelley sails into the
President after the most approved fashion and
denounces him roundly. He also devotes his at
tention to Senator German, who he charges with
having DR.. Wells, who was a delegate to the
Chicago Convention and Cleveland man first,
last and all the time turned down in order to put
in his friend, Col. Roberts. In another editorial
in the same issue of the Record DR.. Wells is put
forward as a candidate for Governor and his NOM
ination is urged as simple act of justice and for
the reason that his nomination would unite the
Democratic party in the State.

The affairs of the First National Bank of
Glen Rock, Pa, are even in worse condition
than at first supposed. William Herbst, expires
ident of the bank, and Cashier Henry Seitz were
arrested few days ago and taken before the q.
S. Commissioner in Philadelphia, where they were
held to bail in the sum of $1,000 each to answer
the charge of embezzlement. In the evidence it
was shown that Cashier Seitz, without the knowl-
edge of the directors, discounted about $4,000
worth of notes in favor of Herbst. Jacob and
William Herbst, sons of ex-president Herbst, were
arrested in Baltimore on Monday and were held
to bail to answer the same charge as that against
their father. Naturally the arrest of these men,
connected as they have been with some of the
largest business enterprises in York county, has
caused much excitement and their crooked fnan-
cal transactions have produced an intense feeling
against them in Glen Rock and surrounding eoun-
try. sfftstta -

Joel Brown said "There are blessings for which
we cannot be too grateful, among which we may
note the quickening of the public conscience on

evil day threatens the land perhaps than the
unlimited traffic in intoxicating liquors, with the
by the thousands who are engaged in it either as
producers or venders, destroying by the accursed
appetite it fosters, rendering wives and children
homeless and houseless by the hundred, corrupt
