The Lawn I'cte.


FRosTBURG, Mn, August ., 1892.
To the MINING JOURNAL.
The lawn party recently held by
Mrs. Kane was one of the most enjoy
able entertainments eyer gotten pin
Frostburg.
The extensive grounds, brilliantly
lighted with Chinese lanterns; the
lawn studded with white tents; the
unique and beautiful arrangement for
the band the numbers of pretty and
tastefully dressed young ladies who
attended to the wants of the numer-
Gus guests; the lovely children fitting
to and fro-all went to make up a
scene usually delegated to fairy-land.
Inside the house the decorations of
flowers and fancy work still kept up
the illusion, and the warm evening
made the refreshments of ice cream,
lemonade, water ices and cake par
ticularly acceptable; and for those
who desired substantials, delicious
coffee and sandwiches had been pro-
vided. In fact, nothing had been left
undone that could in anyway con-
tribute to the comfort or pleasure of
the guests.
Some lovely music was rendered by
the Arion Band, and the fine piano
playing of young Fulton Kari helped
to make up a thoroughly enjoyable
evening, for which our thanks are due
to Mr.. and Mrs. Kane, Mrs. Annie
Beall and the Young ladies who rem
dered such efficient aid IN the prep
arations. ONE OF THE GUESTS.

he was lucky enough to encounter the

1t has come to the JOURNAL that J.
B. Finan, who is quite an elega Mt
gentleman, does not see in the JOUR-
NAL the excellencies which make it
otherwise a self-sustaining institution.
Whether this is deliberate blindness
or the effervesence of an embryonic
aspiration to Immediately own the
JOURNAL editors long-earned dis
tinction as the Nestor of Allegany
county journalism, is one of those
peculiar miseries which, kicking in
their collins, lie entombed in the vaults
of every disgruntled heart.

Cumberland is getting clear, and it is
now possible for boy to get a drink
of it without putting on his rubber
boots to keep from getting his feet
muddy.

An Old and Vain Suggestion.

The Ledger wants a new county.
Which is number that is back.
When the JOURNAL was a carpet
Dagger 1t wanted new county, too.
But Cumberland, which is the coal
regions devil-fish said nay.
That settled it.
However, If the Ledger wants to
make ''the greatest effort of its life"
this is a good chance-a better one
than to tear down our school building.
The JOURNAL will loan it from its
files of Is years ago, or thereabouts,

Uncrowned Heroes.

Myron w. Reed says:
There has never been any difficulty in
recruiting men for search for the North pole.
You can get a volunteer for a forlorn hope
out of any regiment.
Singular, but true.
Now there are the proprietors and
editors and publishers of the Frostburg
Ledger and Cumberland independent,
comprising an aggregate of indi-
vidualities, known and unknown. who
belong to the society of heroic hunters
of the ungettable.
In other words, the stakeholder in
the Ledger company who is there for a
dividend, or the owner Of the Indepen-
dent, who enjoys that distinction in
full expectancy of journalistic i'm
mortality. is cuss of that stripe best
denominated in chronological lingo as
"sanguine."
in the field of natural history.
however, they would figure among
those etherialized personalities who
practice footraces after rainbows, or
expeditions to parts where some other
than a newspaper ignis .tatuus leads.
With their abilities and fitness for
the vocation they have adopted, they
are overdue examples of buoyant belief
in effects which do not correspond in
magnitude with their causes, or in
results exaggerated in number and
bulk beyond the capacity of the forces
which propel them.
But even in their worst estate as
fruitless trees in the journalistic
orchard of figs, they manage to get
more soup than their brains can earn,
just as warts or wens, which think not,
sometimes fasten themselves for thrift
nearest that part of the cere6rum which
"presldes over the coordination of the
voluntary movements"
The majority of these offhand obser-
vations, for the JOURNAL is in hurry,
is designed for the Cumberland In
dependent, but as the Frostburg Ledger
comes easily within the same mora
survey, it is included, in order that the
brand of economy and skill which is
commemorated in the killing of two
canaries with one stone may be most
brilliantly illustrated.
In some respects it is an unwelcome
task, but high-cockalorum doings

The tears from his eyes in a torrent
We're streaming, and quailed the bold
heart that had meyer known fears, and
faltered the feet that where ice foes
are cleaning, had trodden undaunted
in dreary years.
Where on the gray crags roars the
wild raging billow, afar had he
wandered and knew not alright, on
the grim battle field with stone for a
pillow, he'd slept-yea, and dreamed in
the dead Of the night.
Where through the thick jungle the
tiger is roaming, there oft had he
wandered alone in the dark; DER
bosoms of rivers, wild, whirling and
foaming, all dauntless he'd guided his
frall little bark.
He'd stood by the camp fires of
barbarous strangers, and laughed
when they threatened to drink of his
blood: he'd wandered unframed in the
midst of wild dangers, in desert, on
mountain, in valley and wood.
Yet now all his courage, alas, has
departed his eyes lost the flash that
had cowed the wild beal like some
stricken deer he looks round, broken
hearted, and wrlngs his strong hands
in the depth of despair.
O., mock not his terrors, laugh not
at his anguish sheer not that his eyes
are grown heavy and dim; the bravest
of heroes would wither and languish,
confronting the perils arrayed before
him.
Then give him tear, for he's sad
and dejected-he's been caught in a
scrape that's Internal; this woe-laden
scribbler has just been detected, a
squirming in the grasp of the JOUR-
NAL.
