AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN.
Citizens to Take Action on the Pros
pect Avenue Extension.

There is to be a meeting of the citizens
called to take formal and united action on
the Prospect avenue extension question.
Many citizens regard the step that has been
taken by the college. I'm stopping the work.
as one taken without any show OF right.
and they now intend to take formidable
measures to protect their rights, which they
regard as being tranpled upon.
Mr.. Geo. w. King, one of those who have
been working hardest for the improvement.
said this morning: "Forbearance has ceased
to be a virtue, and now intend to do my
utmost, indivi 1ually, and as a member of
the Citizens Association, TO defeat the I'M
grounded objections of the college"
Mr.. w. A. Cunningham says the action
Of the college in the matter is an outrage
on the community. Mr.. r. A. Castelar, a
property holder in the section affected.
states that on account of the miserable
condition OF the street and the other incon-
veniences incident thereto his rents have
been much affected. Most all of those who
move attribute the change to the impass-
able condition Of the street.
Rev. Truett Injured.
A carriage containing the Rev. George
Truett son-in-law of the late Gilbert Van
derwerken. and late Lastor of the Baptist
Church at Lynchburg, Va, met with an
accident yesterday that has left him with
q broken arm and bruised body. Mr.. Tru-
EFT was in town with a little relative and
v ben the entrance to the Aqueduct bridge
W as reached the horse he was driving be-
came frightened and dashed away madly
up the Canal road. When about 100 yards
up the road the team collided with one
CO ming In the opposite direction. A whole
sale smashup was the result.
Mr.. Truett was the only one injured. His
little companion. a child. though thrown
some distance. escaped without a scratch.
DR.. Rich dressed the arm of the injured
minister. Mr.. Truett resides at Falls
Grove" Alexandria county, the beautiful
home Of the Nanderwerkens,w which. through
has come into the possession of his wife.
Mr.. Truett arrived in Washington last
Wednesday from Dallas, Tex. where he
vas attending the Baptist convention. he
was summoned home by telegraph.
His escape yesterday from fatal injury is
regarded as miraculous, as he was caught
in an almost inextricable position.

RISING SUN, CECIL COUNTY, MD, FRIDAY, JULY 1884.

A few years ago one bale of cotton
would go to where it takes two
today. A few years ago one bushel
of wheat would go as far as three
will today. That is the reason OF
it. The south and the west are the
producing sections of this country ;
they have contracted the currency
until there is not sufficient to do
the business of this country on.
There were men who were man.
aging the finances of this country
who wished to get hold of your
mines, your railroads, your facto-
ries and instead of an increasing
currency, the currency keeping
pace with increased business and
population, there had been a con-
traction, and with contraction a fall
in prices, and as prices fell your
property has been leaving your
hands ; not because of any mis-
management on your part, not be-
cause you have been slothful, but
because the policy of this govern
ment has been in favor of the money
power at the expense of the masses.
That is the reason.

Capital VS.. Labor,

The Railroad Union has issued a
circular a thousand words long,
which was prepared after consid-
cradle consideration. Among other
things it says:
''The struggle with the Pullman
Company has developed into a con-
test between The producing classes
and the money power of the coun-
try. This is what Lincoln pre-
dicted at the close of the Civil War,
and it was this reflection that gave
the great emancipation his gloomiest
forebOdings. We stand upon the
ground that workingmen are en-
titled to a just proportion of the
proceeds of their labor. This the
Pullman Company denied them.
Reductions had been made from
time to time until the employees
earned barely sufficient wages to
live, not enough to prevent them
from sinking deeper and deeper into
Pullman's debt, thereby mortgag-
ing their bodies and souls, as well
as their children to that heartless
corporation. Up to this point
the fight was between the Amer
lean Railway Union and the Pull
man Company.
''The American Railway Union
resolved that its members would
refuse to handle Pullman cars and
equipment. Then the railway cor
poratiOns, through the General
Managers Association, came to the
rescue and in a series of whereases
declared to the world that they
would go into partnership with
Pullman, so to speak, and stand by
him in his devilish work of starving
his employees to death. The Amer
lean Railway Union accepted the
gage of war, and thus the contest is
now on between the railway cor
porations united solidly upon the one
hand, and the labor forces upon the
other. Every railroad employee OF
the country should take his stand
against the corporations in this
fight, for if it should be lost cor
pOratiOns will have despotic sway
and all employees will be reduced
to condition scarcely removed
above chattel slavery ; but the fight
will not be lost

Relative Values of Meats.

All who are engaged in physical
labor should have an abundance of
highly nitrogenous foods, and can
vary their diet by combinations of
all healthful dishes that are obtain
able. Underdone beef and well
cooked mutton are the meats they
need. Pork should be eaten only
by those who have constitutions of
iron, who work hard in the open
air, and never know what an ache
nor a pain is. There is not a dis
ease that human flesh is heir to
which pork may not cause, nor a
pain it may not produce. A well
known New York physician, re-
ferring to pork, has said: 'Tt is the
parent of dyspepsia, neuralgia,
headache, sleepleseness, biliousness,
constipation, hypochondria, and
every other physical ILL.," If it
must be eaten, be sure that it is
thoroughly cooked. The red and
dark meats are more stimulating
and more readily assimilated than
white meats, owing to property
called osmazome contained in their
tibrine. 1t is that principle which
gives to meat soups their aroma and
taste, and the darker the meat the
more osmazome is present. 1t is
almost absent from veal and all
young meats, and from the white
flesh of poultry.-Demorest's
Magazine.

If sassafras bark is sprinkled

Unslacked lime is excellent fo1

Among several articles recently
patented is a water cooler which
does not require ice. 1t is cover
ed receptacle of cellular bricllware,
manufactured clay, sawdust and
asbestos fibre. In the process the
sawdust is burned out, leaving the
product cellular, or porous. The
receptacle, with the water to be
kept cool within, stands in a tray
of galvanized iron, which holds
water to a depth of two or three
inches. By reason of the pOrosity
of the cooler and the forces of capil-
larry attraction, the water in the
tray constantly rises through the
cellular walls of the receptacle, and
is as constantly evaporated-there-
by keeping the water inside as cool
as it is usually drawn from the
spring or well.

II have witnessed many incidents
which proved conclusively to me that
animal intelligence is not different
from human intelligence in kind, but
only in degree" remarked Joseph w.
Symes, of Manchester, England, who
was at the Southern yesterday. For
number of years l was an engineer
on one of our railroads and often won
dered at the promptness with which
the hawks took advantage of the appli-
ances of modern civilization. 1 have
frequently seen these hawks fly close
behind the train, near the ground,
where they are partly hidden by the
smoke. AS the cars thunder along
through the fields and meadows small
birds fly up in the air, bewildered by
the noise and approach of the train.
The hawk then dashes among them out
of the smoke and easily secures his
prey. Should it be unsuccessful, it re-
turns to the wake of another train and
awaits the starting of another bevy."-

AN ORIENTAL ExTRAvAGANcE.
The Lavish Use of Perfumes Among the
Ancients.

The Lavish Use of Perfumes Among the
Ancients.
Egypt was a great mart for perfumes.
Joseph was sold to a company of Is
raelites who came from Gilead with
their camels bearing spicery and balm
and myrrh to Egypt. And, so the cos
mopolitan states, women make them
selves beautiful through the use of es-
sences and rare perfumes and wore
necklaces of scented beads like Chinese
women of to-day. Guests were received
in chambers strewn with flowers and
slaves poured delicious stream of per-
fumes over their heads and hung gar
lands of roses, lotus, crocus or saffron
flowers around their necks.
The Jews love of perfumes was as
great as their love for gold and pre-
cious stones. Morning and evening,
priests burned sweet incense, compound
ed after minute directions, of stacte
(myrrh), onycha (an odorous shelD and
galbanum Ia sweet gum), and this they
were not permitted to use in private
life. The holy ointment was made of
myrrh, cinnamon, calamus and cassia.
The Hebrews perfumed their beds with
myrrh aloes and cinnamon and SCENT
ed their hair and boards with myrrh,
cassia, aloes and frankincense. At
tached to their necklaces were small
gold or silver boxes or an alabaster
vial filed with musk, altar of rose,
balsam, saffron or precious spikenard.
So indispensable were perfumes con-
sidered for the bridal toilet that the
Talmud directs one-tenth of brides
dowry to be set apart for the purchase
of scents and the path of tA2 bride was
strewn with flowers and watched with
essences. The queen of Sheba intro
duced the "Balsam of Mecca" into
Judea and the shrub from which it was
obtained was cultivated there until the
fall of Jerusalem Only one planta-
tion of this shrub exists-in Arabia Pe-
trea, the annual of which is but three
pounds The famous Balm of Gilead,"
once so common and now so rare that
only the sultan can be supplied, is dis
titled from the amyris, bush which
formerly covered the mountains of
Gilead.
During the age of luxury in Rome an
exquisite woman perfumed herself
three times day. In few years four
million dollars was spent by Roman
women for perfumes Chicago News.
