NEVADA At WASHINGTON.

Congressman Houck, OF Tennessee,
has com piled table from the latest
blue book showing the number Of
persons holding positions in the var
ious departments Of the government,
from the different States, and the
number TO which each State ia en-
titled in proportion TO it's population,
Us shown by the census OF 1890.
This table shows the East, and
States near tho Capital have their
just proportion while the West and
South fall short OF their share. Ne
vada has Jared very we'll IS it is cred
tied with twenty one Office.
while it's population entities it to but
eleven.
The Reno Gazette in commenting
on the number of Office holders cred
tied to Nevada wants to know who
the lucky twenty-one from this State
are who are holding down govern
ment positions in Washington and
declares it knows of bnt two-Nor-
cross, Of Reno, and Roux, OF Eureka.
The INDEPENDENT is unable to give
the Gazette the required informal n
as it knows of no one from Elko
county who is filling a government
position at Washington. It would
respectfully suggest, however, that
perhaps our Senators have selected
the greater part OF the number from
among their followers in California
and New York.

THE "little talks among ourselves"
are the talks that do the damage.
AFTER a man passes fifty, it takes
him half day in winter time to warm
up.
A WOMAN can never understand why
men and cats prefer to be out at night
to lying on lounge in front of the
fire.
IT is the friend who has no umbrella
who sympathizes with you most ten
derby when you are caught out in a
rain storm.
If little men are to be believed,
when important people talk to them,
the important people are awfully Of
fectionate.

if for the rest of her life she has q
rocky time of it.-Atchison Globe.

A cHILoREh,s FESTIVAL.

Christmas . Day Tor the YOunH People
and Those with Young Hearts.
We have always held the conviction
that OF all things else Christmas should
be made the children's festival. We
have never felt like asking elderly peo-
pie to sacrifice themselves for the sake
of the children on Christmas day. The
day belongs to tho children to begin
with, therefore let no elderly persons,
ranging from the ages of fifteen to a
hundred, rob the little people of what
Ia really and truly their own. AS TO
sacrificing themselves for the sake of
the children, we have no plea to offer
our venerable friends on that score. In
truth there is no sacrifice in the mat
ter. OF all days In the year Christmas
day is the one when we ought all to be-
come children, for our own sake, ind
for the days sake, and for the sake Of
the little ones that arc about our feet.
The men or women who cannot find
perfect luxury in being a child again
for one day in the year, have come to a
sad pass, and have a claim upon our
boundless pity. Oh. to be a child
again just for one brief day. To wait
and watch for Santa Clausl To realize
once again the old wonder and de-
light about the contents of the stock
ings! To eat plum pudding without
stint or limit, or even fear of the
consequences! To play at snap dragon
with nimble fingers, and gaze with awe
on the ashen faces in the lurid flames.
And then to play with heart an full
OF playl No carking care, no anxious
thought, no worry about tomorrow!
No knowledge of q world full of shops
and Offices and desks and of hard-faced
businessl Oh, for one such dayl If we
may not have it absolutely let us get as
near to it as we can, by playing chill
dren. for the children, on the birthday
of the Children's Friend And will our
honored friends. the young ladies of
sixteen and upwards, and the young
gentlemen Of similar maturity Of
years, bear with us if we beg of them
not to be above a children's party. 1t
is painful to see how children are often
snubbed by those who are not vet out
of sight Of the harbor of childhood.
Above all let no smartaleck think he
is doing himself high honor by dis
abusing the mind of some child of the
existence of q real Santa Claus Life
is real enough and earnest enough, and
the children will find it out soon
enough. Let them dream on in the
dreaming days Of childhood. Christ
mas day is preem inenuy Children's
day. Lot us remember this and order
ourselves accordingly.-Chicago Satur-
day Evening Herald.

The Scientific American gives this
receipt, at the first indication Of
diphtheria in the throat of a child:
Make the room close, then take tin
cup and pour into tia quantity of
tar and turpentine, equal parts. Then
bold the CUP over the lire 80 as to fill
the room with the fumes. The little
patient, on inhaling the fumes, will
cough up and spit out all the mem
brareous matter and the diphtheria
'will pass out. The fumes of the tar
&nd turpentine loosen the matter in
the throat and thus affords the re-
lief that has baffied the skill of rhysi-
cans. Use pine tar.

COMMUNICATED.

LAUREL GROVE, Oct, 1894.
Messrs. Editors Il notice in your issue
of the 4th an article entitled "Our Rail.
road;" also IN same a paper letter from
our railroad friend, Mr.. Knubell, on the
same subject. l endorse heartily the idea
suggested by Mr.. Knubell-let the people
of ST. Mary's 90 to cork and show by their
own efforts that they want road.
1t has been said by heather sages that
the gods love to help those who help them
selves. And it may be so that the railroad
magnates will! supply the necessary money
to finish the road from Washington to
Point Lookout when the people along the
line show in some substantial manner that
they want it, and they are not energetical-
ly dead, but want TO be climbing up with
other sections of the country, which is 50
much ahead ofus in enterprise and thrift,
but so far behind in natural advantages.
1t seems TO me, Messrs. Editors, that with
such men as yourselves and j. T. Ballen-
ger to head list of contributions toward
this enterprise there ought to be no trouble
about getting the grade repaired or the ties
furnished by the people along the route If
every man would do his part in that direc-
ton. Since the destruction of my proper.
ty Ivy the hand of an incendiary am not
able TO do as much as would like by way
of substantial aid, but will say that my
saw mill is at the disposal of Mr.. Knubell
to the extent of $25. for which ask moth.
ing but the pleasure of seeing trains pass
Laurel Grove regularly and the privilege
OF riding on or shipping by them upon the
payment of fares as others do, or would
quadruple that amount in shape of stock.
Messrs. Editors, Mr.. Bailenger and others,
how much viii you do? Let US have the
figures in dollars and cents that Mr.. Kau-
bell may know just what TO depend upon,
and may see how bad the people ofSt Ma
rvs want railroad. In about two weeks
/ will write you again and tell you how
the road can be built entirely by the citi-
zens Of st. Mary's county without any ad-
ditional burden upon them.
Yours truly, J. w. GRAVES.

ST.. GEORGES ISLAND, MD.


October IS, 1894.
Messrs Editors :--"Principles, not men,"
is one of the notices of our party. The
coming election will verify this so far as
the Island is considered. We intend 10
vote good humoredly and squarely for
Wells and Rogers. We have plenty of in
tellec.ual light, Notwithstanding the fact
that we do not live in brown stone palaces.
Our school is booming Derby Lynch,
Esp, is q most excellent teacher and his
assisian: is all that reasonable patrons
could wish for. The school is well attend
cd and to make a long story a short one
the pupils are climbing upward.
Oystermen are doing tolerably brisk
business. The wind is frequently adverse,
yet good spirits prevail generally among
them.
Some building is going on, and what is
being done is done well-first class
We are told that since S.. Patrick's Day,
not q snake, nor toad has been seen IN Ire
land and since the citizens of the Island
have caught on TO new ideas, with progress
for their watch word, not a wry face has
been seen. True, sirs, and may we not
say TO our fellow countians. "Go thou and
do likewise ~
Sugar, it is said, catches more flies than
vinegar, and acting upon this principle our
merchants are stalking in the cash" right
along, and no mistake. This assertion
may be accepted as valid. It is not a flash

May They Be Happy and Prosperous!

ST. Domnick's Parsonage was the scene
of quiet but pretty wedding, which took
place on October 9th, at 8 p. m, the con-
tracing parties being Mr.. Fred Norris,
formerly of ST Mary's county, and Miss
Sarah +. Beddoo, of Virginia. The bride
was stylishly attired in Fawn colored
cloth, with hat and gloves to match The
groom wore the conventional black. The
simple but impressive ceremony was per-
formed by the Rev. Father Spencer, after
which the newly welded couple were
driven 10 their future home 11O6 9th Street,
where they will be- at home 10 their friends.
