Another Un-ventfui Day at Spring
heid-No Break Vet.

sPRINGFIELD, Feb. 26.--ISpeciaL I
At the joint session today Senators Matth
ews and Lehman and Representative
Payne were absent. None of the republi.
cans or F. NJ. B. A. men voted, although
the latter were present. Three ballots
were taken and Palmer received each
time lOl votes. Senator Fuller ques-
toned the existence of Joint
session, under the circumstances,
as be did yesterday. and asked by what
authority the speaker acted, Mr.. Crafts
answered that he was sustained in his POI
sition by parliamentary law and the rul-
ing OF Speaker Hsines. This was denied
by Lieut.. Gov. Ray. who said that never
had been such precedent established in
this state at any time. Some sharp
words were uttered and war of words
ensued, but to no purpose. Nobody
looks for br .ak for some time.

His Explanation.

One of the street cleaning commission
er's laborers was taken to task the other
day because he put in bill for working
seventeen hours shoveling snow in one
day. After moments thought he gave
the following explanation: "Sure, /
started to work two hours before l be-
gan, and | worked all dinner time when
was resting, and after / left off ]
worked two hours more, and that makes
the time"
He got credit for seventeen hours
work.-New York Morning Journal.

mental music, and recitstions, was ex-
cellent throughout, and the audience

The Mllfor9 Chronicle SAYS: "Crokers
are predicting ruinous prices for the peach
crop of 1891 1t IS always best to catch your
rabbit before you hegin to skin it, friends =
Suppose every peach tree in Maryland, Delt-
ware and New Jersey should bear full crop
Ills year do you think that we would be IN
the same predlcsment we were in 1873
Then our markets were New York, Boston
and Philadelphia. Shipping to Chicago,
Pittsburg, Cleveland, Buffalo and the scores
Of cities now open to us, aud then not thought
of. Now we can market 100 carloads per day
without consigning one single load to Phila-
dephia, New York or Boston. 1t may be
claimed that there are thousands of young
trees just coming into bearing. Yes that is
so, but of the trees that bore IN lS75-fifteen
or sixteen years ago-not one will contribute
toward the prospective crop of this year. The
country that grew peaches then is out of the
business now, and il every tree in bearing
produces full crop, the buyers, the Gamers,
and the evaperators will want them all, and
at fair prices Sixteen years ago Philadelphia
had about 100000 inhabitants; now she has
l, 100 900. New York then had 900 600;
now she has 100000, and these cities re-
quire more fruit for their markets Then the
stores are not stocked with either canned or
evaporated peaches, and there are no stocks to
replenish from until peaches grow, so all this
iusures us a market"

Dividend Declared.

The regular semi-annual meeting Of the
Directors and Stockholders of the Farmer 5
and Planters Bonded Agency was held at the
Office Of the Company, Charles Street. Ralti-
more, on Friday Of last week Present at the
meeting were Judge j. P. Briscoe, P. II.
Tuck, L. E. Kinks, Samuel NJ. Kinks, Dr..
G. W. Dorsey and Adrian Posey. The re-
port Of the Secretary showed that the house
had done its full share of business for the year,
and was in a fouriShing condition. The
Treasury's accounts were critically examined
and found accurate and satisfactory. For
private reasons Mr. L. E. Kinks resigned as
a director and Mr.. Phil Bowen, Jr., of Prince
Georges county, was elected in his place. -
dividend of per cent was declared upon
the capital stock, The banks of the company
show that notwithstanding is large trade and
the heavy demand made for money during
the financial pressure with the farmers for the
past two years it has not borrowed one cent,
but on .he contrary have large bank ac-
count. This house is undoubtedly one of the
strongest in Baltimore, and farmers should
deal with safe houses if they want to save
money.

Newspapers Indispensable

An exchange truly reaaYSs Nothing
presents a sadder commentary upon the pres
ent condition of society than the large num-
Der of families, both in town and country,
but more especially the latter, that do not
subscribe for paper of any kind. How
many families are tsus growing up utterly
ignorant OF what is Transporting in Tie world
around them-ignorant of the mighty events
OF the day. But who can tell of the injury
inflicted upon the rising generation; those
who are to take our places at no distant day
growing up without any knowledge of the
present or study of the past; this ignorance,
too being imbued into them by the sanction
OF those who should. and doubtless do, know
better, did they only think Of the injurious
effects of their insane course. Let the head OF
the family think of this, and place in the
hands Of those for whom be is responsible,
the means of acquiring some knowledge Of
the moving panorama in which we act our
different parts"

Epoch

The transition from long, lingering and
painful sickness to robust health marks an
epoch in the life of the individual. Such
remarkable event 10 treasured in the memory
and the agency whereby the good health has
been attained IS gratefully blessed. Hence it
is that so much is heard in praise of Electric
Bitters So many feel they owe their restora-
ton to health, to the use of the Great Altera-
tive and Tonic. Ifyou are troubled with any
disease of kidneys, liver or stomach, Of long
or short standing you will surely find relief
by use of Electric Bitters. Sold at soc, and
