Fifty millions OF shad were h7tChed
and distributed in Mar, land waters in
the last year. So say the State Fish
Commissioners iii their forthcoming an
nual report to the Governor. In speak
ing of the distribution of trout the
Commissioners say: The well known
adaptablity of the waters of our monn
tain streams in Western Maryland in
duced an experiment with the celebrated
California rainbow trout. In 1885
about Coco eggs were obtained from
the Unte,i States Fish Commissioner,
which vera Matched and distributed in
the Tongbegary river and Lake Cleve-
land, IN Garret county. The success
of this experiment has been beyond the
most sangulne hopes of the Commits
sioners, as demonstrated by the catch
of these fish in the last two years. In
1883, three years after their first intro
duction, trout were taken measuring
sixteen inches in length, and in the las,
season of 1889 they have been caught
measuring twenty-five inches and weigh
ing three and one half pounds. There
are five fish Matching stations in the
State"

New Year Resolutions.

This Is the sermonizlng season, the
seed time of good resolutions, that too
often never reward with harvest their
liberal sewers. When the press and
pulpit alike teen with admirable admo
nitions. Indeed the dullest preacher
with his heart full of the tender thoughts
born of the Christmas hours, now grows
eloquent in his appeals to the better
sides of our natures, and the editor OF
the obscurest rural sheet must needs
prove himself the shabbiest morallSt,
who finds no inspiration in the season,
for the diffusion of the wholesomeSt ad
vice, and the healthiest moral lessons.
But to what end, are we to "turn the
new leat," and make our annual vigor-
Gus resolves2
That is the question.
To make them and to break item ?
For what shall we again forswear the
extravagaaces and foolish indulgences
OF the old year. Merely to repeat them
in the Nev Year, and by vain and
idle resolutions at the opening, render
more hideous by contrast, the short
comings of the closing yearP If gust
of benevolence at the Christmas season
is to satisfy our consciences and pay
off our score of christian duty for the
whole year. Christmas, With all its ten
der and hallowed associations is no
boon to man. If a hasty and ill-con-
ceived resolution 10 do better in the
new than we did in the old year, is to
measure the merit of our New Year re-
form, unaccompanied bv the habitua
determination to give it practical effect
and is to constitute all the virtue of the
act, then our MeW Year is fraud. L
our good resolutions are to have an &C,
tive existence only on one day, and &
passive life during the remaining day:
OF the year, we may as we'll spare our
selves the trouble of making them. Al
best there is but little good in spaSmodit
professions of morality. We have more
faith in gradual and uniform moral anc
religious processes. The Almighty II
His great workshop of nature. mould
and fashions, creates and constructs

The gradual processes of nature evi
denced everywhere in the beautiful

lesson for US all. In single sentence
we sum up all we intended to say abou
turning over a new leaf-that the New
Year resolutions unless made with th'
we'll considered intention of keeping
them are better unmade than made.

Twenty Years at Ocean Grove.

OCEAN GROVE, N. j., Dec. 22-The
twentieth anniversary of the organization
of the Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Asso-
citation was celebrated to-day. Rev. DR..
E. II. Stokes presided. He delivered the
anniversary sermon in the St. Paul
Methodist Episcopal Church before an
audience which crowded the edifice. DR.
Stokes's text was the words. I'm the
beginning God" from the first verse of
the Bible. He reviewed the history of
the association. Twenty years ago, he
said, the Ocean Grove site was covered
with trees, bramble and sand dunes.
There are now twelve hundred buildings,
sewer, electric light and water system,
thirty miles Of sidewalks and thirteen
miles of avenues. During its existence
the associations meetings have fully
occupied five years time. Many other
towns are the direct outgrowth of the
work of Ocean Grove. When the asso
citation was formed people jeered at the
idea Of a Christian seaside town. "Gnd
has greatly blessed the work here" said
DR.. Stokes. Our restrictions are often
misunderstood. We Insist upon strict
observance of the Christian Sabbath.
We prohibit worldly diversions, the sale
of tobacco, the sale of liquor and the
use of liquor, except in cases of extreme
necessity"

Mrs. Rebecca Collins, a Quaker
preacher, now IS years old, has been
speaking ever since she was 20, and is
still active, travelling and preaching all
over the country. She started in Phil
adelphia the home for discharged wo-
men prisoners, is vice-president of
the w. c. T. u, and is active in every
kind of philanthropic work in her home
in New York. She is especially inter
ested in founding coffee houses as a
branch of temperance work. As a
young woman, she used to take her lit
tie girl with her in her prison visiting,
especially among the women who were
imprisoned for life. She found that
nothing so interested and touched them
as the sight of child.

The death of Henry w. Grady, the
brilliant editor of the Atlanta Constitu
hon has created profound sensation
ofsorrow all over the country. Although
we may not have agreed with him in
his political views, although he saw but
one side of the race questionable
Southern side-yet he challenged our
respect by the courage of his convictions
and won our admiration by the bril-
iancy of his advocacy of them. He
was undoubtedly the ablest representa-
tive OF the "New South" whose mate
rial progress he so ably pictured, and
which he so earnestly sought to bring
into closer fraternity with the North.
We believe he was in every sense
patriotic American, and that his death
is loss to the country at large.

FROM WASHINGTON.
Maryianders Get Good Places on tho House
Committees.


WASHINGTON. Dec. 26-Before the
House adjourned over for the holidays
Speaker Reed announced the assignments
to the standing and select committees.
In the general distl bution the Maryland
delegation have but little reason for
complaint. Nearly all of them have been
assigned to important committees, where
thev can do va'u ,ble work for their
constituents and the States generally.
As was to be ex pectsd Mr.. McComas rhciev
ed excellent treatment in spite of the
fact that he was an anti Reed man in the
late contest for the Speakership. His
assignment to the committee on appro
priati0ns is IN itself quite prize, but in
addition he also has place on the com
mittee on election of the President and
Congress. From political standpoint
this is regarded as one of the most prom
inert committees in the present Congress
and there was lively scramble Tor
positions upon it. Last Congress Mr..
McComas had but one committee.
NJ. Stockbridge is very we'll satisfied
with his assignments to the committee
| on commerce and the committee on
| mines and mining His predecessor,
| Mr.. RayIer, had three committee assign
ments: Commerce, foreign affairs and
| the new library.
Mr.. Gibson sits at the river and harbor
table and is exceedingly pleased. There
was lively contest for places on that
committee, for river and harbOr bill is
al out due for passage during the present
Congress, ana the Eastern Shoreman has
gone homo to Easton to tell his people
of his good fortune. There are several
important improvements under way IN
in Maryland rivers and harhors, and Mr.
Gibson is not modest in asking for what
he thinks his State should have. he Is
also assigned to the committee on militia
In the last Congress he had four commit
tees: Rivers and harbors, militia, printing
and government printing office.
Mr.. Rusk, after lively struggle, Sc
cured reassignment to the naval commit,
tee. This was one of the last committee.
completed, and there was stong com
petition among certain democrats. His
second assignment is to the committee or
Indian depredations. Last Congress he
had naval affairs and reform in the civi
service.
Mr.. Compton's familiarity with District
affairs was recognized, and he goes bach
to the District committee. AS that Il
one of the Understanding committees
in the House. he is relieved from any
other assignments. Last Congress-, II
addition to the District committee, HI
served on labor and ventilation and "a
coustics.
Mr.. Stump goes on the committee o
immigration and naturalization, which
promises to be of more than usual impor
lance during the present Congress b!
reason of the numerous propositions tina
will come before it for investigation.

The healthiest New Year lesson we
have read, is the act of poor Chicago
boot-black who saved enough out of
his paltry earnings to distribute five tur-
keys among as many poor families. A
contemporary may well term this a
shining CO example of benevolence.
