He Beat the Agent.

They say that the late Duke of Bed
tOrds TaVlstOCk agent. now deceased,
was reputed to carry matters with
somewhat high and even tyrannical
hand, and, having desire to benefit
neighboring tenant, had given an old
farmer notice to quit possession of a
field which for several generations had
been part and parcel of the farm which
he, and his fathers before him, had
rented from the Duke. This interfer-
ence was greatly resented by the
farmer, who. however, could get no
satisfaction from the agent, and finally
would 'see the Duke" a threat which
the agent heard with little concern,
knowing we'll that the old man had
never strayed more than a few miles
from Tavistock, and judging accordingly
that he was not likely to journey sudden
lv to "LunnonA
He reckoned, however, without
knowledge, for the old farmer went
straight home, donned his Sunday
BEST and to the amazement of his
folk, marched off to the railway sta
ton, and took his ticket for Padding
ton.
The scene changes to the mansion in
Eaton Square, where, about seven P. NJ.
an Ola country HAL, uIesScl III VIC
style of fifty years ago, knocks at the
door, and in excited and well-nigh
breathless accents asks the footman who
opens it if "Mr. Duke Of Bedford" lived
there. The footman guessed something
of the state Of the case, and forthwith
took word to his Grace that one of his
Tavistock tenants wished to see him,
and Immediately the old man was
ushered into the presence of "Mr.
Duke" Not till then did the old farm
er's courage give way, but seated in the
luxurious library, words altogether
failed him.
The Duke ordered up refreshments
but they were refused by the old man
until he had told his tale, which he did
in broken accents, and the Duke list
ened attentively, asking one or two
simple but direct questions and then
told his old tenant that he need not
trouble any more, as he should give or
ders that his tenancy was not to be dis
turbed But the Dukes kindness did
not end there, for ascertalnlng that the
old man had no notion as to a nights
lodging, or indeed of his next step, the
Duke ordered his carriage, had the old
man driven to Paddington and safely
deposited in the night mail with first
class ticket to Tavistock in his pocket

The natives of Manipur. India, now
in rebellion against the British, were
told by their chiefs that God would
help every 100 of them lick 500 of the
British. When 300 British drove 700
of them two miles, killing and wound
ing over 100, the natives heard some
thing drop and lost their confidence in
their leaders.
Woman never swears, but when a
man steps on the hem of her dress and
ruins couple of yards of expensive

through her mind afford the devil as
much amusement as though she had

1t is we'll known that vegetable and

necessary to burn out the deposits in

Americans and Flowers,

The passion for flowers fourishes
famously in this country according to
the statistics of Horticulture furnished
by the census bureau. 1t appears that
there arc now about 5000 establish
ments in the United States engaged
in raising plants and flowers, and of
these upward of 800 are owned and
conducted by women. Forty million
dollars are INVESTED in the industry,
and nearly 10000 persons employed in
it. The products during the census
year were valued at 26 million dollars
70 million dollars for shrubs and
plants and ii million dollars for cut
flowers. Among the products were
nearly 80 million roses. The fact that
four-fifths of all this business has been
developed within the last twenty years,
and that the number of establishments
has nearly doubled within the past ten
years, indicates that the flower trade
is experiencing remarkable growth,
and that it finds ample support among
our people. Boston Herald.

Two Beautiful Young Girls.

Two Beautiful Young Girls.
Newport is to haye a sensation this sum-
mer.
1t is automatically stated that the beautiful
and celebrated daughters of Lord Dufferin,
Beatrice and Adelaide, are to grace this
famous resort with their presence this CON-
ing season.
1t will be remembered that Beatrices beauti-
full dark eyes have played havoc lately with
the heart of Albert, the eldest son of the
Prince of Wales. What it will amount to is
as yet a matter of conjecture in England.
The young ladies are acknowledged to be the
most beautiful in all Europe, and there will
be not little excitement in the hearts of our
American bellies over their coming. They
are exquisite dressers their and costumes will
be marvels of curiosity. Unlike most ladies'
they know exactly what is suited to them.
Some time ago they sent for the chief designer
of the Paris house of the New York and Paris
Young Ladies' Fashion Bagdr, and selected
forty costumes each, the cost of which will
amount to thousands of pounds.
Through the courtesy ofthese young ladies
We have been permitted to copy for the New
York and Paris Young ladies' fashion bazaar
two of their most exquisite fortunes, which
appear as figures 3 and on the colored plates
of the June number ofthis magazine. just out,
and for which the publisher has issued, in
the name of the American ladies' a card of
thanks. 1t is rumored that the prince may
follow the young ladies to Newport this
summer. The New York and Paris Young
Ladies' Fashion Btzar has the exclusive right
to publish each month at least one or more
OF the costumes in which the ladies Beatrice
and Adelaide will appear.

Oddities of Great Men.

The greatest men are often affected
by the most trivial circumstances,
which have no apparent connection
with the effects they produce. An old
gentleman, of whom we know some
thing, felt secure against the cramp
when he placed his shoes, on going to
bed, so that the right shoe was on the
left of the left shoe, and the toe of the
right next to the heel of the left. If
he did not bring the right shoe round
the other side in that way, he was liable
to the cramp. DR.. Johnson used
always, in coming up Bolt court, to put
one foot upon each stone of the pave
ment; if he failed, he felt certain the
day would be unlucky. Button, the
celebrated naturalist, never wrote ex-
cept in full dress. Reisag, the Ger
man critic, wrote his commentaries on
Sophocles with Iot of porter by bis
side. Schybel lectured at the age of
II. extempore in Latin, with his snuff
box constantly in his hand. Without
it he could not get on.

Measuring Long Distance.


The measures for long distances
have varied widely at different times
and with different nations. to say
nothing of comparisons used in diff
ferent sections of our country. For
instance:
The Jews said:
From Dan to Beersheba.
The Persians say:
From Medina to Mecca.
The English say:
From Lands End to John O'Groat's.
The Yankee says:
From Maine to Texas.
The Southerners say:
From Florida to Alaska.
The Sucker and the Hoosiers say:
From the Great Lakes to the Gulf.
The South American says:
From the Isthmus to the Horn.
In Louisiana they say:
From New Orleans to Pittsburg
In California the common express
sion is:
From Altaville to Pilot Knob.
On Georges Creek it is:
From Iona to Coney.

What They DO Not Like.

The labor organizations Of the District of
Columbia are after General Ordway, COM
mander Of the District militia, with very
sharp stick for certain radical utterances he
made against labor unions. General Ordway
seems to have fallen victim to the prevalent
disease of the capital, which invariably mani
tests itself in bad breaking out about the
mouth.-Cumberland Times.
The JOURNAL does not know what
Gen. Ordway said, but it is more than
likely his statement is correct.
1t is the truth that hurts labor
unions most.
1t is an accurate measurement of
their fraudulent aims and seditious
conduct that offends them most.
And, by the way, it was these same

nearly four years ago, declared that

This is Second Place,

Mr.. Porter's census enumerators
found in District No. II 1866 people.
The assessors, Messrs. Philip
Michael, Samuel Jeffries and George
H. Wittig, who have just completed
their labors, found inside corporate limits
3,673, or los more than the enumerators
discovered in the district.
The assessors, all of whom are con-
sentative, conscientious men, have ex-
cellent reason to believe that 1,500 is
fair estimate of those practically in
town but technically out.
The true population of Frostburg,
therefore, is not less than 5,173.
With at least 1000 election district
people both practically and technically
out of Homecoming, Frostburg is easily
the second place in the county by from
somewhere between 300 and 400

The Coal Trade.

The New York Engineering and
Mining Journal states the situation
thus:
Trade is now enjoying an all-ccntract bust
ness; There is large tonnage coming for
ward most of which is going into consumers
hands, The car supply is reported excellent.
Local trade is dull in fact, it is a summer
trade
And the Mining Record, of same city
says:
The btuminous trade is very quiet and no
new contracts of importance have been made,
although several large ones are understood to
be in the market. The advance in prices is
being maintained, but the supply of coal is
fully equal to the demand. deliveries are,
however, lighter than at the corresponding
time last month. Inquiries for bituminous
from Hamburg, Bremen and Antwerp are
being received, owing to the scarcity oc-
casioned by the labor troubles in Germany
and Belgium, but the movement has not

A Good Sign of Business

Every established local newspaper
receives subscriptions from large cities
which puzzle the publisher, but which
the New York Times explains AS fol-
lows: A wholesale merchant in the
city who became rich in the business
says his rule is whenever he sells a bill
of goods on credit he immediately
subscribes for the local newspaper of
his debtor. So long as he advertises
vigorously he rested, but as soon as he
began to contract his advertising space
he took it as evidence that there was
trouble ahead and he invariably went
for the doctor. He said that the mau
who is too poor to make his business
known is too poor to do business.
The withdra wal of an "ad" is evidence
of weakness which wholesale men are
not slow to act upon.

An Oakland correspondent com
mends the two papers up there for
standing up for law, order and public
decency.
Here in Frostburg slch things are a
matter of course.
The JOURNAL, which is the only in
dependent paper in town, does not
have to be thus commended, nor does
it enjoy opportunity to praise the
towns police for vigilance and fear
lessness.
The latter are almost crying for a
chance to do something.
But our people-capitalists, mer-
chants, mechanics, miners and the
JOURNAL won't give the towns Gus
todians an opportunity to show their
proves.
Frostburg, which is beyond all cavil
the second city in size in the county,

more church-goers, better preachers,
prettier women, cleaner miners-well,
the entire people are almost entirely
unconscious of guile.

Natures Nemesis.

Nature is a veritable nemesis-a
most remorseless judge. Offend her
and she will make you pay a heavy
penalty. Neglect her and you will
suffer dearl y for it. Nature will not
be abused. Her laws are inexorable ;
she knows no such thing as pity. She
is just, but to herself; she has aud
k4Gws nothing of mercy for others.
Obey hsr end she will crown your life
with everything that is desirable to
make one happy; disregard her and
the punishment she will heap upon you
you will find unbearable.

The Cumberland Ne~s regrets that
the Baltimore american did rot advise
the members of the New York and
Brooklyn coal exchange, recently
visiting the Baltimore coal trade, to
extend their excursion 20 the Cumber-
land (the Nens meant Georges Creek
coal field. 1t continues:
Think of it. Three thousand miners,
with their families, happy, comfortably
housed, clothed and fed, with no quarres
with their employers. Is there any other
mining region on the face Of the globe that
can say this? Now, then, why do not these
coal merchants pay a visit to the model
mining region?
How this language must make the
author of "Hums and Shambugs" in
the Baltimore Critic feel weary!
But all the Ne,cs says is true.
The only two frauds which, elimini-
mated, will make the region an Arcadia
are the name, "Cumberland,' and the
walking delegate.

MINING JOURNAL
FROsTBURG MD, MAY 80, 1891.
The Assessment,

The first cast-up of totals aggregates
81, 1897
Compared with the figures of last
year, this is gain of about $2S3, 953.
The Mayor and Council should by
all means maintain the aggregate.
For every reduction tends to in
crease the rate of taxation.
More than that, it tends to destroy
the equality of values which the as
SCISSORS have labored assiduously,
fairly and conscientiously to establish.
Under these circumstances the Coun-
ell has no equitable nor moral right
to reduce one unless it reduces all.
In the latter case up goes the rate
and nobody has made anything.
Between low assessment and a
high rate and high assessment and a
low rate, the latter is preferred.
For it is the rate that people mostly
see.
To raise the amount of money taken
last year on the new figures the rate
will fall from so to 40 cents per 500.
But the town is carrying a floating
debt which ought to be paid.
The new assessment will help to
accomplish that desirable object.
Not so if its figures are cut down in
order to allow Dick to shuttle part of
his load off on Tom and Harry.
Another word to Council.
Have the assessors present at the
appeal session to the end that Council
may hear both sides of every case.
Still another word
Make no reductions!
