gWe are much pleased to know that our
County Agricultural Society has increased the
premiums in many of the departments for the
coming fair. The purses for the races have also
been increased and this will insure better sport
Dy attracting IastcI horses from a distance, and
more of them, than have ever before appeared at
Timoninm~ Tur UNorv hos all along advocated
this policy, and the good results were noticed at
the fair last year. To make the fair a success
financially it is necessary to offer something that
will attract large crowds, and nothing will do this
half SO well as racing events in which purses are
offered that will bring horses that, as the sports
say, "can split the track wide open." OF course
it is necessary to have good show in every de-
Partment, because there are many who have no
special fancy for horse races, and we hope that
our people will vie with each other in making the
exhibition of 1886 far superior to any yet held by
our society. We want to see 10000 people at
Timonium every day during the fair, and they
can be brought there if the proper inducements
are offered.

A New Swindle.

An agent goes around soliciting subscribers for
book The book is headed with an ordinary
subscription. There is wide space at the top of
each page, which is blank if not blank, it is COW
cred nicely with paster. If you decline to sign
the agent gives written contract, showing that
you are not to take the book unless in Condition"
to do so when the delivery agent comes around,
who, of course is another man. When the book
is filed with subscribers the paster lie removed or
if blank really at the top of page the thing is run
through hand printing press, and 10 and be-
hold! your name is signed to Contract" which
you never saw, one clause of which is specially to
annul any bargain that had been made with the
agent; and if you worth the price of the book,
they will put you in condition" to pay for it any,
way. When they present the subscription to a
justice judge or lawyer, the Contract is careful
y exposed to their view, but concealed from
others. This nefarious business is being carried
on in Huntington, Bedford, Fulton and other
counties of Pennsylvania. 1t is almost incredi-
Bile, yet true that these sharpers find victims even
among persons of intelligence. 1t is safe rule
to refuse to sign or give ones autograph to any
stranger on any pretence whatever.

Starvation and Hydropathy.

Lancaster fd.) Ecdmtnef
Some one has said that farmers eat too much
and do not bathe often enough, but then some one
or other is always abusing the farmer and speak
ing of him in such way as to lead people to be-
leve that he knows but little and does nothing
right. If these know-it all people would only let
the farmer alone and practice themselves wha;
they preach the son of the soil would get along
just as well and they little better. Try it, dea,
preachers of starvation and hydropathy. There
are few hard-working farmers who spend their
time in the sun and air who can eat too much if
they have the right Kind Of food and eat only
three times day. 1t is true that bath after re-
turning from the field would cleanse the skin OF
its coating of perspiration and dust and make the
nights rest much more refreshing and enjoyable
1t is true also that nice cold bath in the morn.
ing is very invigorating and refreshing and an
excellent appetizer for breakfast, and all who car
should luxuriate in such antidotes to foul humors
o feversh and enervated condition and dyspepsia
generally. Any one accustomed to active work
in the open field or anywhere else indeed in the
hot summer weather who does not know this b.,
experience will have to try it but once to be con
vinced that it is time well spent

@-The Baltimore Americans Washington
correspondent states that Senator German is pro-
voked because Hon. J. Fred. c. Talbot has an
nounced himself as candidate for Congress
against DR.. Shaw, and that the Senator intends to
inform Mr.. Talbot that he must withdraw and
announce the fact. OF course there is not the
slightest foundation for this statement and no one
believes that Senator German would assume to do
any such thing. He will go North after Congress
adjourns and from there will make an extended
Western tour, and it has been announced that ne
will take no part whatever in the coming Con-
gressional campaign in this State. 1t is quite
evident that the americans correspondent knows
nothing whatever about Baltimore county politics,
although he assumes to speak with authority as to
the wishes of Senator German. The conclusion is
plain-he knows nothing about either.

Sale Of Subscription Books.

The Philadelphia Times says: "a decision
in the United States Court at Memphis bears on
the question lately discussed here of the sale o.
subscription books in the shops. By this decision
bookseller is enjoined from selling copies Of
Blaine's book which had been sold by an agent
it being held as piracy on the copyright to sell
copies, surreptitiously obtained without tn,
authors consent as much as to sell copies unlaw.
fully printed. In other words, copyright include,
the monopoly of sale; the author or his assigni
alone may determine the use of this monopoly,
and the announcement that the book is to be soh
"by subscription only" is notice to the trade thu,
any other mode of sale Is unauthorized and NC,
lawful. Under this decision the United States
Court here would enjoin the sale of the Grant
Memoirs at the book stores, provided that Judge
Butler shared Judge Hammond's view. This,
however, by no means follows. 1t is one of the
beauties of the Federal judicial system that every
Circuit and District Judge interprets any given
statute for himself without regard to any previous
Interpretation, and it takes so long to get ques.
tion decided by the Supreme Court that often
precisely opposite rulings upon the same point
will be enforced in adjoining districts"

M8- Hon. George B. CorkhiIl, who was appoint
ed United States District Attorney for the District
of Columbia by President Hayes, and who held
that office until the close of President Arthur's
term, died very suddenly at Mount Pleasant,
Iowa, on Tuesday night. He left Washington on
the 1st instant to attend to some legal business in
the West. At that time he was apparently in ex-
cellent health and his sudden death was great
shock to his many friends, among whom he was
very popular. Col. Corkhill successfully prosecu-
ted Guiteau for the murder of Garfield and he was
also engaged in the famous star.route cases. His
first wife was daughter of Justice Miller, of the

@-A few days ago party of Baltimore busi-
ness men made an excursion to Havre-de-Grace.
Among the invited guests was Hon. VIM. Pinkney
Whyte, who, of course, had to make speech. In
the course of his remarks he said: II have been
a temperance man and teetotaler from my child
hood, and am glad that we have struck town
in which whisky has no command, and for this
reason only I accepted the invitation to come
among you" Whisky may not exactly have
Command" in Havre. de- Grace, but at the same
time if we may judge from the record of the Har-
ford county court, a considerable amount of it is
consumed over there by somebody. But this fact
does not make the ex-Governor's remarks any the
less creditable to him.

NS- Prohibition went into effect in Atlanta
Ca, on the 1st instant A late dispatch from that
city says: "The one curious feature of the whole
period is the persistent trade in quart and gallon

quantities of liquor, but from day to day, as they
realize that prohibition is permanent, they add to
the store already,on hand. The wholesale liquor
men, whose licenses expire in August, are driving
heavy trade. Now that the news of prohibition
has reached out into the country, orders by ex-
press come pouring in beyond the power of the
dealers to fill. There have been more drunken
men before the police court each morning than

lied in the West, with headquarters at st. Louis,

one end of the country to the other in support OF
law and order, which can be largely massed, if
necessary at any point in case of trouble, the
members of the League being bound to answer
call at moments notice. The late strikes in the

Ms- During very few months past the wheat
transactions on the Chicago Board of Trade
amounted to 7s4,OOO,OOO bushels, while the grain
actually handled during the same time was only
100000 bushels. This gives some idea to what
extent gambling in grain is carried on in one Of
the great cities of the country and is also an ind-
cation of the standard of morality in Chicago.
