Swsetzer's Bridge.

BY an act of the Legislature passed IL
1874, the Anne Arundel county commits
siOners are required to keep in repair
Sveetzer's bridge, owned by that county
The bridge is now out of repair, and an
effort is being made by the Anne Arun'
del board to have a new bridge built OF
the old one reconstructed. The Anne
Arundel people claim that the bridge is
wholly in Baltimore county, and that the
county commissioners of that county
should do something in the premises. A
committee from the Anne Arundel board
went TO Baltimore county yesterday and
submitted such proposition to the Balti.
more county commissioners, which will
be considered later. 1t is estimated that
an iron bridge would cost $4,000. An
act of the Legislature repeating the for
mer law would be necessary before new
bridge could be built over the creek. The
Commissioners waited upon the Anne
Arundel delegation in reference to the
matter this morning.

a Recherche Affair.

Through the untiring efforts of Mana.
ger Hill to Gator to the refined tastes Of
our literary citizens, the famous Mrs.
Scott Siddons. q dramatic elacutionist OF
high order, appeared last night before a
large recherche audience at Masonic Opera
House. Mrs. SIddons is handsome wo-
man of aueenly stature. her voice is as
silvery as bell and her enunciation per-
feet. She begged leave to make some chan
ges in the program, which she assured
the audience would be for the better. Her
first recitation was from scenes from the
Merry War, and the perfect adaptation
of the various characters to her voice and
manuver called forth repeated applause.
Next followed Lady Glare" which was
recited in charming style. Perhaps
the most artistic recitation was that from
Macbeth, where Lady Macbeth troubled
with her guilt walks in her sleep. The
transition from the doctor and my lady
nurse whs were on the watch TO the sleep
walker, was wonderful, and many who
had recently seen Macbeth by Booth, de-
clared Mrs Siddons superior TO Miss Gale,
Booths support as Lady Macbeth. -
"The Creeds Of the Bells. Annie
Hathaway" Little Hero, "Entangled
Senator" and Love In a Balloon, were
recited in faultless style. and the audience
retired we'll pleased with the evening s
entertainment, which had been OF an ex-
ceptionally high order.

The Earth's Dash Into Il Meteor Stream.

The earth is now passing through the
great stream of me eors which has caused
so many celebrated star showers in the
historic period. Ii We could get accurate
records of these November displays In
ancient times the myriads of meteors,
known as the Leonids. that have bonn
barded the earth would appear incredible
aud alarming. Happily for our planet. its
atmosphere, many miles deep, interposes
over our heads an invisible shield which
but few of these heavenly bodies can pen
citrate. The large majority of them are
melted and volatiliZed by heat developed
in the arrest Of their motion by the air.
The earth will pass this time through
an attenuated part of the meteor ring aud
will not encounter its thickest part until
1899. While, therefore, no such star
shower as was seen Nov. ID, 1866, can be
now expected, meteors enough may be OBJ
served to show that we,are in the orbit of
the Leonids. II the weather is favorable
large number of meteors may be counted
radiating from the constellation Leo,
which rises about p. NJ. The best hours
for seeing what is to be seen will be after
midnight. when the moon sets.
