Good Nominations Must he Made

The Hagerstown Mail, in an excellent ar
ticle, points out the danger of the Democrats
losing Maryland, next fall, by improper nom.
nations, and speculates upon what would
probably follow if the Republicans were re-
stored to power. 1t says:
What makes Democratic supremacy of es-
pecial Importance at this time is the move
ment by the negroes of the State demanding
mixed schools and the repeal of the law pro-
hlDling mixed marriages. The mechanics
ana workingmen, and the rural population
OF the State cannot afford to ignore this
move 1t is our duty to provide the colored
population with the best possible facilities
Tor obtaining an education, but it should be
In separate schools. And for the benefit of
ooth races mixed marriages should continue
to be prohibited.
That mixed schools will shortly follow in
this State we cannot doubt, for no party can
resist the united demands of majority of its
members. The white Republicans in West
ern Maryland might contend against il but
they would be in hopeless minority.
Give US good Democratic nominations and
let the Democrats work shoulder to shoulder
against the common enemy-the enemy alike

terests OF The common wealth.

The Public Schools and Arbor Day

Mr.. John d. WorthingtoD, Examiner of
the Public Schools of this county, has receiv-
ed circular from Mr.. NJ. A. Newell, Secre-
tary of the State Board of Education, direct
ing him to notify the public school teachers
of Hartford county that the ordinary school
exercises will be omitted on Arbor Day, the
10th of April next, or on the next fair day
thereafter, and that the pupils shall assemble
at their respective school houses, at an APP
pointed hour, with their friends and neigh
bors, for the purpose of carrying out the re-
concentrations of Governor Jackson with
reference to planting trees around the school
houses and along the public roads.
1t is suggested that selections should be
read, suitable songs sung and addresses read
by the pupils. Also, addresses by citizens of
the neighborhoed. In short, the object is to
make hrbor Day an institution in Maryland,
as it is already in twenty-sx States of the
Union
The trees, of course, should be procured
beforehand, and it is suggested that there
would be no objection to pear and cherry
trees, both Of which are ornamental.
The circular recommends the planting of
young trees, as more likely to grow than old
and stunted ones.
The following practical suggestions as to
the best method ofplanting trees are given
"Let the holes be dug beforehand and
deeper and wider than is needful to receive
the roots when spread to the utmost. Great
care is needed in lifting or digging up trees
30 as to get the most and longest roots posi-.
bic, and especially the fine capillary rootlets.
When first dug up the roots should be set in
box or barrel and covered with moist
leaves. Spread some four inches of good soil
In the ample hole. Set the tree about three
inches lower than it stood before, spread its
roots carefully in all directions as they grew.
Churn the tree gently, while rich, pull

ing 1t around them with the hand, so that no
empty spaces be left, dashing water on the
roots to secure their closest embrace by the
soil Tread the earth firmly about the roots,
Cover the whole with little loose earth to
prevent the surface from baking. Leave the
soil around the tree a little lower than the
general level and mulch freely with straw
or leaves"

Mr.. Harry A. Field, junior officer Of the T. s.

nephew of Mr.. William I. Easter, of Glenville,
Hartford county. Mr.. Field has written some
interesting letters from that fsr.off place. which
were published in the Providence, Rhode Island,
Journal. The following is an extract from one
of these letters:
Two boat loads Of natives, men, women and
children, have come OF from the shore, and ap-
parently intend TO spend the day. Some Of
them are seasick, but that does not seem to
have quoting effect. One of their boats broke
adrift from the ship, and we let 1t get some dis
tance astern before we told the men. When
they found it out you should have seen them
dive overheard, swim to the boat and paddle it
back. They have brought off an inferior lot of
newly made war clubs, fans, mats, etc, which
they intended to sell to passengers on the mail
steamer during her halfhour stop here, but are
now trying to palm of on us.
When these natives come on board, each
selects some one as his or her friend sealing the
contract by present Of cOcoanuts, flowers,
wreaths of sweet.scented bulbs, ETC., expecting
something valuable in return. They beg for
anything that catches their eye. 1 have invest
