Geology of Maryland.

1t is some years since the operations
of the division of topography of the
United States geological survey were
carried into Western Maryland, and
year after year the surveys have been
carried eastward until, during the last
season and this, they have been COM
pleted up to the 77th meridian, or the
latitude of Washington. These sur
veys are upon uniform scale of two
miles to the inch, and the relief of the
surface is indicated by contours fifty
feet apart. The counties covered by
this survey are Garrett, Allegany,
Washington, nearly all of Frederick,
end smaller parts of Carroll, Howard
and Montgomery. The surveys are
represented upon atlas sheets, each 30
by l63 inches, or half degree of lati-
tude by half degree of longitude,
which includes an area of about $50
square miles. The sheets representing
the earlier surveys are already engryed,
and most Of those representing the Ia
ter work are now in the hands Of the
engrayer.

HERE All LAST.

We have for now quite month
liyed in state of wondelment border
ing upon the bewildering. A presi-
dental and congressional canvass is
neuring 4 conclusion and so far as local
happenings 60, we may say that until
within very few days, no sign existed.
We may safely say now, however, that
the breeze has sprung up with sufficient
energy to turn the political weather
yane to decided points OF the compass.
The delay in the arrival Of decided
views and opinions has been the means
OF simplifying the situation, however,
for now no doubt exists in the mind Of
any one as to the result Of the coming
election. We do not recall ever hay
ing found such want of doubt, such
fullness, copiousness Of faith as now ex
lists. Three hundred and eighty voters
in Mechanicstown district haye been
canyassed, among whom not one has
been found, who has been able after
determined try, to experience even a
shadowy eomblance of the ghost Of
camel's hair Of doubt OF the election Of
Harrison and Morton, while a micro
gcopic examination of the undreamed
vision Of doubter's doubt is Jumbo to
n microbe compared with the doubt in
the minds Of two hundred and sixty
voters in the same district, as to
Cleveland and Thurman 8 election.
1t came all at once and is here to
stay-until probably November 7th.
possibly November 10th.

tempt of the Democrats of the House to
divert public attention from the Mills
bill, and fasten it on the Republican
tariff bill. Messrs. Mills and Carlisle.
for this purpose are preparing briefs Of
the Republican bill with copious re-
marks. The Republicans further ac
cuse the Democrats of using every pos

Dollar Wheat comes too late IN the
season to benefit the large majority of
producers, for the most Of our farmers
have sold their crop, 1t is welcome
news however, for it has been several
years since wheat brought that price,
and it may be an indication, that, this
great staple of our country, having
ouched bottom prices, is now on the
Use, and promises to pay the farmers
more rcmunerative prices. We sim
cere!y hope this may be so, for when
agriculture Aourishes all other branches
If trade feel the benefit, for it is at the
bottom of the prosperity Of all other
interests
