Francis Miller was yesterday receiv-
ed by 3. A. Richmond with the re-
quest to procure its early insertion in
the Daily NeaUS:
SANDY SPRING, Md,
July 26. 1886.
TO the Editor of the Daily Ne,oS:
In the Rockville Sentinel of the 23d
inst, find the following:
ANOTHER RICHMOND APPEARS.
The following bit of political gossip
was sent from this place to the Cum
berland Times of the 10Th instant:
The contest for the Republican
nomination for Congress in this Dis
trict wakes warm in this county an d
has Just received a new boom in the
announcement that Montgomery
county is to have candidate in the
person of Hon. Francis Miller, of
Sandy Spring. late the Republican
candidate for Comptroller. Mr.. Mil
Ter is said to have stipulated with the
managers when he made his hopeless
run that he should have the Republi-
can nomination for Congress this fall.
While neither a fluent nor brilliant
man, Mr.. Miller stands high in his
county, and can easily carry it in the
primaries. The late change of pro-
prietorship in the Independent, the
Republican organ here, is regarded as
a move in his interest, and the Pur-
drm and Mcdonald factions have
been induced by ex-senator Moore to
promise their support to the Quaker
candidate.
1 ask of you the privilege of saying
through your valuable paper, to the
Republicans of the Sixth District
that the statement that ain candi-
date for the Republican nomination
for Congress in that District is entire
~ without foundation.
] am unequivocally in favor of the
denomination of Mr.. McComas, and
have so announced myself, without
reserve, to every one of either politi-
cal party with whom L have convers-
ed on the subject. My reasons for
this preference are:
First While our district is, l be-
lieye, Republican by a small MAORI
ty, 1t cannot certainly be relied on to
elect Republican Congressman. We
have good hope Of electing majority
of the next House of Representatives
but to do so we must make sure OF
every seat to which we are fairly en-

The heavens suddenly became dark

The WOMEN OF SCOTLAND.
The scotch Girl-Tsn PeopIe-Hcalthy
Phxsfnues as a I.uIe-Head Dress

The Scotch GIri-Tsu People-Hcalthy
Physiques a IsuIe-Head Dress.
These Scotch people are very fine looking,
and their faces have great strength Of feature
and at the same time much refinement The
Scotch girls are exceptionally fine looking,
and even among the lower classes you see
very many refined faces. In the stores there
are lady clerks who would pass muster as
weli-bFed girls anywhere, and many Of the
barInaids in the whisky shops are beauties.
The women of Scotland do a great deal of
work A white-capped, mlddle-aged, rosy
checked lady usually presides over each Of the
largest hotels, and nearly all of the railway
restaurants are managed by women. Both
sexes IN Scotland have, as a rule, good healthy
physiques. There are more tail men and wo-
men than IN America They have better COM
plexions, more active walk, and are, as rule,
stronger and healthier
Speaking Of Scotch girls, saw great num-
bers Of them in the trip took down the
Clyde TO Rothsay, which is the great summer
watering place Of Scotland. They, as a rule,
dress very well. though / don't think they
show the style Of our American girls Their
head gear is especially queer, and sometimes
in bad taste. The fashionable thing here
seems to be to wear mems caps and to choose
the ughest shapes and styles you can find A
favorite one is fat skull cap with long
rim behind and ia front 1t hides the eyes
andis not at all pretty. Another style is cap,
used great deal When on the right girl
it is Eot bad, and the same may be said of the
Scotch turban. This turban is used both by
men and women Still another style has long
ribbons hanging down the back, and it is of
the same style used by the soldiers of some of
the Highland regiments. These soldiers are
bare-legged fellows with short plaid dresses,
and they form queer sight as they strut
along, working for glory at twenty five cents
q day.
These soldiers of Great Britain you meet
everywhere, and very pompOus fellows they
are. The Highlanders are less so than the
others, who come from the low lands, some Of
whom dress ia red coats and white panta-
looms, and others who have short red waists
and little caps stuck on the side of their heads

Engaged with the Morning Newspaper.
An Interview and Chat.
Il am not an early riser" said resident OF
North State street, nor is any member of my
household 1t is not often that either or
one of my servants gets out after the morn
ing paper earlier than O'Clock But one
morning, about three weeks ago, happened
TO come down about f:45, and on going out
after my morning paper, found working
man sitting on the steps, his dinner pail by
his side, deeply engaged with the news of the
day. He was not aware of my presence, and
my first impulse was to speak sharply to him
and give him a reprimand for his impudence.
But on second thought l did nothing of the
kind, but re-entered the house and left him
alone, watching him, however, from behind
the curtains of the front window. A few
minutes before o'clock he carefully folded
the paper, put it ON the doorsill, picked up
his dinner bucket and FASTENED away TO his
work
The next morning got up early on purpose
to see if he would return, and, sure enough,
there he was, with the paper in his hand. He
was a sober, thoughtful appearing man, and
the incident so impressed me that | told my
servants never to go for the paper until after
o'clock, or until the man had finished with

and finally went out and spoke to him. He

had taken, and when told him that l knew

liked to have him do SO, the man almost broke
down. 1t was a little thing-a mere trihe-
