MoNTGOMERYs GOLD FIELDS.

The developments in the gold fields OF
Potomac district within the past two years
have been full of interest, and Of such a
prominence us To attract the attention OF
many of the leading capitalists of our larg
est cities.
This development has not been of recent
date, as early as 1928 Prof Ducatell, in
his explorations of the Potomac, spoke at
some ZENITH OF the gold bearing quartz along
the Great Falls region. Some years later,
Trollope, the English novelist, whilst board
ing near where now stand the Sawyer mines,
discovered specimens of free gold, and gave
a vigorous sketch of his discovery. In about
1874, Rev. james Rattcry, an eccentric di.
vine, with his brother, Thomas, both old
bachelors, living on the property now own
ed by Mrs. Betsey Ricketts,, were engaged
in digging for gold, taking the result of their
labors to Blackford, IA watch smith on Bridge
street in Georgetown. These old men thus
supported themselves for several years.
II was not, however, until about the close
of the war that any development of an i'm
portant character was made known. Since
that period, whilst the operations have been
spasmodic, but always of such dimensions
as 10 create excitement, these outbreaks have
been continuous and large sums Of money
have been expended by the gold adven-
turers.
The purchase of the Philadelphia syndi-
cate, about eighteen months since, does not
appear TO have panned Oat we'll Sawyer's
mill, hnwever, of the most improved ma.
chinery and on heavy scale, would lead
even the most doubtful TO reach the conclu-
sion that the enterprise was paying one.
One thing is very evident, Senator Sawyer,
through his agent, Dr. Kempster, who seems
to be thoroughly up in mining affairs, is
spending large amount Of money in de.
veloping his property, and he does not hest
tate 10 state that his enterprise is private
one, that is, il will be nostock gambling op.
Grafton.
The recent discoveries on the Ford, Car
roll, Collins and other properties would en-.
courage the idea that large amount Of
money will shortly be spent in the more ex-
tended opening up Of the gold fields. The
Chicago syndicate, last on the field of new
adventure, will have an exciting effect. The
introduction of an improved mode of min
ing will have a tendency to speedily remove
any doubts as to the paying properties of
these mines.
1t is to be hoped that this new enterprise
will open up in remunerative style Aside
from the thousands of dollars that will nat.
urally be placed in circulation in this Sec
ton Of the county, it would be the means
of introducing other industries and giving
employment TO our people.

carefully read by every intelligent citizen Of
our State. While all appreciate the benefits
derived from works Of internal improve
ment and are favorable to aiding them in
their infancy, there is but little doubt that
there is a tendency in corporations to seek
assistance after it is unnecessary, thus add
ing burdens TO already oppressed taxpayers
You doubtless remember the fable of the
viper that was warmed into life by the kind
hearted husbandman, who would have been
fatally stung by the resuscitated reptile but
for his promptly destroying it. IL the masses
of our population are to have their burdens
increased by still heavier taxes while the
bonds Of the railroads are quoted at high
rates, some of the people will be tempted
TO make restriction Of railroad privileges an
issue at elections, thus doing indirect injury
to many interests. Again we should. remove
all possible temptations from the political
field, and there are grave fears that legisla-
ton unfavorable to the bulk Of the taxpay.
ers has been enacted by the concentrated
power of astute attorneys and managers
If railroads are to receive State aid, why
not manufactures, commerce, farming? The
principle is wrong one, and not compati-
Bile with the great American principle of in
dependence, equality and self-help"

The opinion prevails here, after consider
ing the expense imposed upon the county
by the loss of bridges and the mendng of
the roads that have washed out, that it will
be better to rebuild at present only those
bridges which are actually needed, and
tighten the burdensome tax in that way
The Commissioners meet on Monday next
when they will consider the subject.

President Gambrill, with the millers Of
Georgetown, inspected the condition of the
Georgetown level on the G. 81 D. Canal on
Wednesday. They found it much dam
aged, but not as much so as it was first
thought to be- Mr.. Gambrill thinks the level
can be repaired for $4,000 to accommodate
the milIers and $4,000 to make i: naviga-
Bile. Also that the money could be raised
by the business men OF Georgetown, who
could be paid back by the water-rents in four
years. Mr. Gambrill proceeded up the canal
with his inspection.

INTERESTS IN CORPORA r1oMs.

for a separation of the States and Baltimore

prominent Democrats and Republicans in
different counties of the State. The opin.

it, Following is the position of Mr. Henry

Not Consistent.

Mrs Wells says suffrage will take
women away from their homes, and
they are overwhelmed with cares at
home. and can not be taken away. Mrs.
Wells has recently been put on board
of education which has been holding
meetings of three or four or five hours
per day for three or four weeks She
is continually called away from her
home to lecture. II she should drop
all of these things. and exercise the
right Of suffrage. she would not have to
be away from home so much as she is
now.
There is some Inconsistency In this.
Women are frightened needlessly. As
to these remonstrants who have sent in
petitions. if they do not want to vote.
that is a very good reason why the
Legislature should exempt them. But
l want to vote. What right has any
woman. when I reach my hand up for
the ballot. to strike it down?-Mary A.

Real Womanliness.

The notions and definitions OF woman
illness, if collected together from va
rious localities and ages, would form
curious reading. At one time it WIS
womanly to pronounce q hard word
incorrectly; to pronounce it properly
would make a woman like q man. At
another time it was womanly to faint
at the sight of a drop of blood or a
mouse. Now. the trouble with these
definitions and notions was, they were
not fixed upon immutable principles
People dread the idea of a woman's do
ing something new or unusual; it may
make her unwomanly! They need not
fear. A true woman may be made less
foolish. less hysterical. less childish;
but any idea of womanliness founded
upon things temporary or artificial can
not be a true idea; it is not an essential
nor an eternal one. Real womanliness
will survive all revolutions of mind and
ma ter. as a woman's figure has sur
vived- The old Greeks knew what
that was as well as we do.-Margaret
