SealfnE.Wax Language.
tho Rncton Gazatto

As it is the correct thing nowadays to seal
letters with wax instead of mucilage, our
readers may be interested to know that the
color OF the wax possesses significance of
itself which is not generally known. The ordi-
nary red wax signifies business and is supposed
to be used only for business letters; black is of
course for mourning and condolences; blue
means love, and in the four or five tints of this
color each stage of the tender passion can be &C
curately portrayed. When pink is used con-
graduation is intended. An invitation to a
wedding or other festivity is sealed with white
wax: Variegated colors are supposed to show
conflicting emotions

The joint special committee OF the Maryland
Legislature, which has been investigating the

able lease OF the canal by strong
parties, who will keep it up as a competing coal
carrier, and will also have traffic arrange
