Fun in the House.

Gen. Spinola, Democrat, Of New York, has
grown facetous lately. On Monday, when
Boutelle, of Maine, addressed the Speaker,
Gen. SpinoIa, in imitation of Reed towards
the Democrats when he desires to press a
measure 10 passage in violation Of the rules,
interjected this remark:
''Your motion is diIatory and cannot be
entertained
Again, on the same day, the Republican
majority limited debate to one minute. Gen.
Spinola said: al will take that minute with
permission of the House" and proceeded to
talk few moments on something not peril
nent to the subject before the House. After
proceeding few moments he sail:
"Why, sir-how much time have !, Mr..
Chairman?
The Chairman-"About three seconds. -
Laughter.
Mr.. Spinola - ''Well, good afternoon
gentlemen. We have knocked out your Force
bill in the Senate. and bid you good day.

The Late Storm.

The storm of last Saturday night was US ex.
tensive and nearly as destructive as the biz
zard of March, 1888. 1t originated in the
Gulf of Mexico, near Galveston, Texas, on
Friday and extended to the New England
States In Maryland and Virginia the snow
fall was unprecedented, reaching depth of
from to Is inches between p. m. and p.
m. In Pennsylvania, part of Delaware, New
Jersey, New York and the New England
States the damage to telephone, telegraph and
electric wires exceeded that of the great biz
zard three years ago. Out of 1900 telegraph
wires in the main Office in New York city,
only one was in working order, and the dam
age in that city is estimated at over $500, 600.
Over 1000 telegraph poles were down between
Baltimore, Nd, and Wilmington, Del. The
snow was so wet and heavy that it gathered
on the wires to the thickness of from one to
three inches, the weight of which tore them
loose from their fastenings, and carried down
immense poles, which crushed everything in
their way. Railroad accidents in Pennsylva
mia, New Jersey and New York were numer-
Gus. On the coast there was but little snow,
but the wind was from "A to 60 miles an hour
and vessels were delayed coming into port.
For fully q hours there was but very little
Geographic communication between any parts
of the country.

NELLIE LEWIS CARNATlON.
The latest and one of the best novelties for
1891 is an elegant Carnation, growing on long
stems, free bloomer with large flowers, OF
an exqisite shade of pink, something entirely
different from anything in Carnations. This
flower is destined to become a great favorite
among the florists, as the ladies prize 1t very
highly for corsage bouquets and decorative
purposes generally. The endorsement of the
old firm of James Wick, Rochester, n. Y,
who introduce this plant, is enough to assure
the public that it is all they claim for it. The
price is only so cents each, three for SIPS,
six for 81 25, dozen 81; but a better way would
be to send 10 cents for Vick's Floral Guide,
and the 10 cents can be deducted from the
first order forwarded for seeds. No lover Of
fine plant or garden can afford to be without
copy. 1t is an elegant book of over 100
pages, Sixl09 inches, beautiful colored
illustrations of Sunrise Amaranthus, Hydran.
gea and Potatoes. Instructions for planting,
cultivating, &c. Full list of everything that
can be desired in the way of Vegetable and
Flower Seeds, Plants, Bulbs, &c. Also fun
particulars regarding the cashprizes of 81 600
and 5000. The novelties have been tested
and found worthy of cultivation.

Correspondence oil the Democratic Advocate
SANDYvILLE, Mp, Jan. u, 1891.
MEssRs EDIToRs Some few weeks since
we noticed in your excellent paper, a commu-
nication headed Improvements at Patapsco,
in which the writer represented large enter
prises such as an elevated railroad a brewery
employing several hundred hands, &C., &c.
And as such is not the case we inferred that it
was only intended as a ruse or piece Of
pleasantly upon the writer part in the alb
sence of any thing else to say. However, we
have often wondered why some permanent
and lucrative enterprise has not long since
hourished at that point Patapsco is an i'm
portant little village station, on the line of
the Western Md. railroad, situated in Carroll
county, about twenty-five miles from the city
of Baltimore by rail. 1t and the vicinity sus-
tain two large country stores, postoiice with
mail facilities two and three times daily, a
hotel, a school with "a fourishing attendance,
church, smith shop and grist mill near
by, a bone and plaster mill, a physician and
several mechanics. Patapsco is located in
the forks ofthe Eastern and Western branches
of the Patapsco Falls from which it takes its
name. 1t has therefore ample water facilities,
which could be easily utilized in almost any
manufacturing enterprise. 1t is surrounded
by healthy and productive country, densely
populated by INDUSTRIOUS ana moral ciliZehs,
with plenty of timber, stone, sand, &c, at
hand for building purposes. Cheap lands,
free from exorbitant taxation, being sixty
seven cents for county and State on the 500,
and lower than any other county in the State
When we, therefore, come to consider its
close proximity TO our large cities, its locality
directly upon one of our principal railroads
and its many other natural advantages as Il
point for enterprise and improvements, we
wonder why the fanciful Imagination Of the
writer referred to, have not long since been
more than realized in the establishment Of
cotton mills, paper mills, or some other man
ufacturing industry, if not brewery employ
ing several hundred hands, J. A. u.

The statistics of the New York barge office
show that during the past year 35S, $40 immi-
grants landed at that port OF these 2, 345
went TO Maryland, 524 to West Virginia, 522
to the District of Columbia and 454 to Va
Compared with the previous year the general
figures show that emigration to the Southern
States is increasing. To Texas, West Va,
Georgia and Maryland it was doubled OF
the total number of emigrants, for the first
time on record, the Germans outnumber-
ed those from Great Britain and Ireland.
The German figures were 6s, 058 and the Irish
50, 604. Italy comes second in the list with
IS, 243 natives. Of the Irish 100 we're
females, mainly between Is and % years of
age. The Huns number q, 900.
A telegram from Vienna, Austria, says:-
One of the saddest incidents yet reported in
connection with the recent severe weather is
the freezing to death of four children while on
their way to school. The children started
together for the schoolhouse, which was
situated on lonely county road, and on their
failing to return in the afternoon searching
party was organized. The search resulted in
the discovery of the four bodies of the little
unfortunates lying stiff and cold in death near
the roadside. 1t is believed that many per-
sons persisted in the storm, and that when the
snow has disappeared a startling number Of
victims may be revealed.
Rev. r. A. Farnham, pastor of the Metho.
dist Church, of. Cutler, Maine, publishes a
statement that i'll health was not the cause of
his resignation. He says he boarded him
self, swept the church, made the fires and
rang the bell. The people swore at him,
Whitfield and ate peanuts in meeting time,
fired pistols and threw stones at his house,
came to church any time before the benedic-
ton, laughed aloud during the services, &c.
He says rum is sold openly in the town, and
no one tries to enforce the law.
A decision has been rendered by Judge
Nelson in the U. s. Circuit Court in St. Paul,

involves the title of land grant of 8, DOC, 900
acres 10 the Hastings and Dakota Road, to
the rights of which road Russell Sage sue,
ceeded, and in whose favor the Court rendered
the judgment. The land is valued at So.

How 1t Was Made.

The Chicago Tribune, Republican, ex.
plains how tin plate was made recently il
that city. The manufacturers used imported
Welsh iron plate and dipped it in melted tin
ALSO imported employing imported Welsh
men to do the work. The result was the
American made Tin plate of which protec
tionists are Boosting. Tin plate made this
way, however, benefits neither the Penusyl-
yania iron man nor the Dakota mine owner.
What it calls to mind is the $l5,000,O0 tax
imposed on the innocent consumer.

According to the Chicago Tribune, there
were nine murders week in that city last
year. Evidences multiply that Chicago is
the only modern representative ofSodom and
Gomorrah worthy the Baltimore
Herald.
And yet the Herald wants Maryland to
make an exhibit Mt the Chicago Fair! What
security would Marylanders have against
having their exhibits stolen-thefts are COM
mon there-or themselves murdered?

UNDER PILES OF SNOW.
Railroad Tracks Useless In Russia-COm
municatiOn by Telegraph OnIy.

ST.. PETERSBURG, Jan. 25.-Terrifc snow
storms have prevailed recently throughout
the southeastern portion of Russia. Deep
drifts have been formed in many localities,
and, as a result, whole villages and numbers
of isolated houses have been almost buried
in snow. The railroad tracks are entirely
useless from the piles of snow resting upon
them, and the only means of communication
between the villages and towns is by sleigbs.
Added to the Inconvenience to which the
inhabitants are subjected are the suferings
which they are forced to endure on account
of the bitterly cold weather experienced in
the snowed-u up district Numbers of people
are already known to have been frozen to
death, and it is feared that as the snow dis.
appears there will be further loss of life re.
vealed.
The city of Charkow, or Charkov, the cap.
ital of the government of kharkow, on the
Kharkova, is so completely isolated by the
snow which has fallen upon it and in its
neighborhood that the only way of communi-
eating with its inhabitants is by telegraph.
Charkow is city of about 200, 900 inhabitants,
and it is feared that should its complete sola
ton continue for any length of time there will
be terrible suffering owing to the scarcity OF
provisions among its poorer classes OF inhab-
itants.
Montenegrins Dying Of Hunger and
CETrlxJE, Jan. 25.-The recent snow storms
in Montenegro have caused great distress and
in many districts the people are suffering from
famine. In some places today the mercury
fell to eleven degrees below zero, Fahrenheit.
The government is doing everything it can to
relieve the suffering. In striking contrast
with the weather in other parts of the country
is the extreme mildness that prevails at Dull
cigno on the Adriatic. In that fortunate town
the weather is soft and balmy and violets are
in flower.
