transpire as to make honor inccm-
patible with peace, and to transform
meekness into pusillanimity.
Happily the dispute betweed our
glorious nation and little Chill has
been, we hope, settled and that sew
erance of diplomatic relations-the
recall of Minister Egan and the dis
missal of Minister Montt, threaten
ed by the President, will not be
done.
1t is in the Presidents power to
suspend diplomatic intercourse, but
the power of declaring war rests
with Congress. 1t was for the I,ur-
pose of permitting the country,
through its representatives, to judge
of the merit Of the case, that the
correspondence was submitted to
Congress.
The reception of that correspon-
dence and its accompanying mes
sage, by the Senators and Repre-
sentatives, shows that Americans
are patriots first aud politicians
next. Democrats as well as Re-
publicans treated the Executives
communication with the deepest
respect, and seemed imbued with
the true spirit Of devotion to the
Nations honor.
The indications now are that
Chill will retire from her untenable
position and give complete satisfac-
ton. Should this be the case, it
will be found that o determined and
dignified attitude on the part of
this country, has been largely in
strumental in bringing about this
result.

Additional Space Secured : Other
Matters.
The Executive Committee Of the
Worlds Fair Representation held a
meeting at the Mayors Office in
Baltimore Thursday. Mr.. Norris,
who had visited Chicago in the in
terest Of the Maryland exhibit, re-
ported that the Fair authorities had
granted an increase Of the space al
lotted to Maryland, and that Mary
land would have space of 1863
feet by 230 feet, or 26,749 square
feet. The original allotment was
95 feet square. The extra space
obtained by Maryland was about rs
feet from Delaware's portion. and
as South Carolina will not exhibit,
North Carolina will take the space
allotted to the other Carolina, and
Maryland will receive North Caro-
lina's space.
Mr.. Norris also stated that Mary
lands site is in o very desirable
location. He stated that the an.
thorities at Chicago are taking con-
siderable interest in Maryland's
proposed exhibit, and give ell Of
the assistance within their power.

Geo. N. Stuck, formerly Of Sell

BY his bride. George was married
on the 20th inst. and came home
the slst, bringing his new wife with
him to spend ten days or two weeks
with his parents and many friends.
The word went out that George had
come home with his wife and about
dark the boys began to saunter into
town from every direction, each
thinking of the good time he would
have before he went back, but never
dreamed Of the big head he would
take home with him. They called
on George about $50 o'clock and
he responded right willingly and in
less than an hour the boys were
feeling lively, and all voted George
the best fellow in town.

FOLLOWING 10 what some of our
West Virginia exchanges have to
Ry about the boundary hne ques-
6ou:
Maryland's modest demand for
. large slice Of West Virginia, is ex-
citing some comment. As we un-
derstand the matter, Maryland ba-
ses her claim on the peculiar lam
gaage of her charter, which at the
western extremely of what is known
O. Mason b Dixon's line, calls from
thence South to the source of the
Potomac river, and thence with the
eouth bank of the river to the
ocean. The North Branch of the
Potomac, instead of the South
Branch, has heretofore been acted
upon as the line; but ever since the
States were established there has
been controversy on the subject;
Maryland claiming the South
Branch, being the larger, was re-
ally the river; Virginia, on the con-
trary, claiming the North Branch
was it, and that matter had been
settled by general acquiescence.
This is the first time the matter
has gone so far as a suit. King
wood Journal.
GREEDY MARYLAND.

which. she clai rs. made the South

II tia, which, SO far as W. can dis
lover, she never possesse> l. vi
course our readers can see, BY look
ing at map of the two States, 'ust
what would be the result Of o,e-
cision in her favor. 1t would give
her all the territory of West Vir-
kinia included between the two
Of the Potomac, embrac-
ing the whole of Mineral county,
With portions Of Grant, Hardy,
Hampshire, and possibly of Tucker.
We do not believe the claim is worth
Q rap, nor do We believe that the
Supreme Court of the United States
vill disturb State lines which were
est ,blished, really, before the Revo-
ut on. We have no objection to
in her place, but this
territory and its inhabitants belong
TO West Virginia, and they don't
want to be set off.-Keyser Echo.

Excuse Yourself Graoiouslx.

Every lady has right to refuse her.
self to friends when sickness, WEAKNESS
or some domestic duty makes it difficult,
impossible perhaps, to be at the time a
gracious and courteous hostess. The
message of refusal, however, can be SO
worded that no person of any common
sense or Judgment could feel offended.
"Mrs. Brown is engaged" is abrupt and
not to be recommended, but there are
many ways of making it more gracious.
"Mrs. Brown cannot receive today" lie
simple, truthful and should offend no
one, as, if the maid delivers the message
at the door to each and all alike, it is
evident that no slight is intended.
Many ladies now have one day in the
week when they are sat home.' This
arrangement becomes necessary in large
cities where ones circle of acquaintance
is extensive and calling is a matter Of
ceremony. But the fact that lady sets
apart one day to receive friends is no ex-
cuse for instructing the maid to tell an
untruth to those who for some reason
call on another day, but it is reason
why those who call out of season have
no right to be offended when they are
told that "Mrs. Brown is not receiving"

Curiosities of Navigation.

It would be worse than useless to en-
deavor to trace marine architecture to
its original inception. The Egyptians
and the Phenicians are joint claimants
for the honor of the invention of water
craft, but it is highly probable that they
originated at widely separated points at
about the same time. Grecian fable
makes Pyrrhon the discoverer of the art
of bending planks by fire so that they
could be advantageously used in ship
building. The beakhead, rudder and
anchor are claimed by the Egyptians.
Crete claims the invention of masts,
crossyards and other minor nautical de-
vices. Isis, queen of Egypt, in the year
Of the world 2230 is said to have first
taught the use of sails.
The Emperor Julian caused medals to
be struck in her honor showing her
seated upon the prov of ship. Jason
built the first "long ship" prior to his
time all ships were as round as tubs.
Copper and brass nails and fastenings in
shipbuilding were substituted for iron at
about the time of Nero. The first sails
used were made of the skins Of animals.
Usons, Phmnician, is represented as
being the first person to venture the use
of a canoe followed from tree trunk.
