:. PciSoIidi appearance III double
sense of the phrase] upon the unso-
phisticated village maiden, that the
BALTIC. mails will overflow with for
tune hunting queries. Go ahead,
girls; the long-haired editor is always
more poet than prophet; and you
needn't fear of any dire prediction
from one who admits that you are
handsomer than even the far-famed
Baltimore girls.
/ Mr.. Flick, father of Hon. w. HI. III.
Flick, along with his son-in-law and
his daughter, Mr.. and Mrs. Taylor
and family, arrived in town the latter
part of last week, and are guests at
the residence of Judge Flick, on West
King st.
4 Mr.. Flick accompanied Mr.. Taylor
and his family on an extended trip
thro' Florida and other Southern
States, where they have spent the
past winter, for the benefit of Mr..
Taylor's health, and have stopped in
Martinsburg enroute to their home in
Cleveland, Ohio.
Judge Flick has made his last
official visit to Parkersburg for this
| term.
Miss Laura Herring returned from
Bellaire last Tuesday; Mrs. Walters
and her little daughter came home
with her, and expect to spend some
time here.
The Mexican Orchestra which gave
entertainments in the Opera House
on Friday and Saturday evenings last,
are the finest musicians who have
visited this city for years. 1t is
great pity they had not advertised
more extensively. They ought to
have had crowded houses, and those
who failed to near then, missed rare
treat.
Councilman Frank drives the Con-
tinental Chariot occasionally. AS
Jehu he completes creditably with
Perry and if all other high roads to
wealth fail him. there is always the
chance that he would make an attrac-
tive coachman, and succeed in getting
himself run away by an heiress.
N. B. This suggestion is not for
the promiscuous use of the impecuni-
Gus Martinsburg dudes.
hn 90 T,,lx,
tenn. 1t was kept in an innocent
milk-and-Water style, in this borough.
The nearest approach to fire works,
was rained down on us by old Sol.
No amateur Cicero or Demosthenes
or Clay, was given an opportunity to
blow great guns of local oratory at
this helpless community; but the
wave of enthusiasm emptied itself
over on the shores of Maryland this
has no reference to the Bicycle spills,
and the rest all went a-fishing. The
City Band hustled thro' with their
Concert in short order, and dismissed
the audience TO follow their own
devices.
Ipicked up one of Cupid's lost
souvenirs in the house of the Lord,
Sunday night, in the shape of dainty
Illuminated Sunday School card, upon
which was printed the text ~ am
the good Sheperd," and on the reverse
side was penciled the interrogatory,
=" May | call tomorrow evening ?"
Now if he had written twill you be
one of my Sheep" or lambs, the girl
who received it would doubtless have
caught the connection better. But
what puzzles me is why any sane
young man should want to call an
evening before it's time to come; or
why he should ask girls permission
to lift up his voice on that fool GRAND.
I hope she replied by granting the
anxious inquirer her permission to
I" call tomorrow evening"" with all
the strength of his lungs, if he felt
like it; gently warning him at the
same time not to be too hopeful of its
coming before it was due, to accom-
modate him. What fools these
mortals be-"
Harper's Ferry is the Mecca of the
Martinsburg Sunday-Schools this
summer. Nearly all their picnics
have lodged on the Island, and those
yet to come point in that direction.
Rev. Mr.. Harlan, of New York
City, preached in the Presbyterian
church in this City Sunday evening.
Mr.. Harlan is a son of Judge Harlan,
of the Supreme Court of the United
States; and is man of exceptional
ability and prominence.
Senator Camden was in town Tues
day, but wasn't sent to interview
him, so can't tell you what he thinks
of the political cauldron in this Sec
ton.
Rev. S. P. Barnitz, Western Secre-
tary of the Home Mission Board of
the Lutheran Church, was in this
City last Monday, on his way West
to his residence in Des Moines, 10.
He had been i'll attendance upon the
sessions Of the General Synod South,
in Roanoke, Va, and last Sunday
preached in the Lutheran Church at
! Winchester.
Mr.. Creque is fortunate man. He
found favor with one of the fair sex,
who presented him with handsome
gold watch. Don't open your eyes so
wide Mrs. Creque was the donor.
This is placing premium on matri-
mony lots of the Martinsburg boys
