The following from the An-
maboLs Republican shows with
what esteem our fcllow-towns-
men, Col. John w. Smith, is
held by the editor Of that pa
per. The MESSENGER delights
to see any one OF Worccstcrs
sons so honorcd, and especial
~ one who givcsas much time
from several Of the largest in
dustrics in this State and Nir-
ginia to the Democratic party
of Maryland and asks for moth
ing in return. Mr.. Smith is
not an officesccking politician,
he is one of the best business
men in the State and thrown
in daily intercourse with the
leading men of Maryland, he
naturally takes a deep interest
in public affairs. All our cs-
teemed contemporary says of
him is true, and We might add
that the following prophecies
have in the majority already
been fulfilled:
Among the rising young men of
Maryland We would single on, Col.
John Walter Smith, OF Snow Hill, as
likely TO stand IN the lead. He has
every qualification Of leadership. With
a keen, bright intelligent, fine bust
ness training in the practical knowl
edge Of men, faculty. Of obtaining
and retaining influence over others, a
cool commanding self.possession, a
ready seli.asserlion, an intimate amount,
OF tact,-he is destined TO occupy a
prominen, place in the affairs Of the
State.
Hitherto he has persis,ently refused
office for himself, but for the sake Of
his, friends and for his party he has
taken an active part in home politics,
anil last Fall was especially active in
State politics. He was one OF Gov.
Jackson's most interchangeable workers
and supporters, and mos, successful
one. His recent appearance in An.
napolis to say a good word for his
friend, Speaker Upshur, reminds us OF
his growing popularity.
Combined with the solid qualities
which have contributed to his business
success and form the firm basis Of a
strong character he possesses those
more genial qualities. which, where
ever he goes, impress all with the
presence Of 4 courteous and polished
gentleman.
We have no hesi,ency in predicting
that Col. Smith will. in tire no, FAR dis
iapt future, become a power in the
politics Of Maryland.-Clear headed,
discree, aud energetic in business, his
influence among the solid men Of the
State is widening rapidly, Far seeing
in politics he has shown himself sue.
cessful manager a, home. and the wires
he pulls are ever extending their rami
hcationS until one of these DAYS the
young Eastern Shore leader will find
himself compelled to step GU, Of his
county aud take his place among the
State leaders lie has the ability, and
the day is no, Ear in the future when
the young Democracy OF Maryland
viii call him out. and when he re-.
spends he will he a power in the State,
apd come to siay-Maryland Repub

Hon. Perry Belmont, recently APP

from the State Department before GO
ing TO his post. 1t has been intimated
that Mr.. Blaine would attempt 10 pre-.
vent the confirmation of Mr. Brlmont's
nomination by the Senate, in order
to be revenged upon that gentle man
Tor the clever manner in which he, as
chairman of the House. committee IN
foreign affairs, exposed Mr. Blaine's
manipulation Of South American af-
fairs during the Shepherd investiga-
Gien some years ago. Perhaps Mr.,
Blaine would like very much TO do So,
but the fact must be remembered that
there are quite number of republican
Senators who heartily dislike Mr..
Blaine, and who would much rather
do him an injury than favor. Mr..
Belmont is surg TO be confirmed,

or not.

In opening the beautiful December

rests first upon the Rembrandt Peale
portraits OF George and Martha Wash.
ington, contributed by Miss Stoker,
gems in their way, superbly engraved,
and of surprising interest now that it
is so unusual to discover unpublished
portraits OF our first President. "The
Inauguration OF Washington in $780,"
by Mrs. Lamb, is timely as well as
notable paper, and contains much
fresh information on a subject soon to
be holly canvassed by writer's of every
grade in connection with the ap-
preaching celebration in New York
City. 1t is uniquely and appropriate
ly illustrated. This magazine, while
giving to the public oharmingly
readable =" Washington number" has
not overlooked Christmas. The sec.
ond paper is by DR., Prosper Bender on
the Holidays Of the French Cana
dams" and it is we'll worthy of critical
attention. Among the short contrl-
buttons is one from Katharine Arm,
