It is too early to express decisive opinion on
the working of the blanket ballot, but appar.
entity little confusion and trouble were causeu
by the change in the mode OF voting PROVIDED
for by the Raines law. The general testimon!
is that voters knew just what TO do win 'he
broad sheet handed to them in the polling places
and that the voting was done more rapidly thah
usual How many blunders were made in marx
ing the ballots will be learned later. 1t would
not be strange If on the first trial Of the new
system many ballots were spoiled. and 1t is alto
gether probable that the necessity of several
changes in the law passed by this years Legis-
lature will appear. Unquestionably. however
the blanket ballot is an essential feature OF bal
LOT reform. and Workers were too long de-
privcd Of it,

As had been expected, Baltimore was the
scene Of much disorder and riotng yesterday,
the Democrats beng bent on preventing fair
election and neglecting no means to carry their
point The evil work which they began In con-
nection with the registration was continued and
the mob element. under the leadership of Free"
Rasin, went to even greater lengths Old days
In Baltimore were recalled-the days when the
'pugugles' had everything their own way.
The Reform League tried hard TO get the police
10 do their duty. and 10 have the militia called
10 their assistance, but Its appeals were in vain
Yet with little effort order might have been
maintained and disorder wholly prevented. The
trouble was that the men In authority preferred
disorder and rioting in the interest Of the Demo
cratic party 1t is a disgrace TO the city of
Baltimore and disgrace TO the State Of Mary

principal feature was the closing day Of racing
at Morris Park. where large number Of people
witnessed series Of fine contests. Several foot
ball games took place in the vicinity OF New
York, and each had good attendance, though
none was Of commanding interest. But the
great attraction, after all, was the bicycle, and
an immense number Of men and women were
abroad on wheels, making the most OF what
may prove their last good opportunity for In
dulgIng In this form Of exercise this year. Not
improbably there will be several other fine DAYS

There was foolish attempt yesterday to make
il appear that the Police Commissioners were
guilty Of persecution or some other terrible
thing in arranging the work Of the members OF
the police force in such way that the latter
could not vote. A pair Of Tammany lawyers
even tried TO get a mandamus from the Supreme
Court. on the ground that employers are re-
ouired by law to give their employees two
hours in which TO vote. Judges Lawrence
and Beekman promptly refused to grant the
order asked for The effort to take the police
away from the polling places in the interest or
Tammany was fat failure.

FISH EvOLUTIoN.-Edge Hill is a
picturesque and romantic spot in the
county of King George, and is situated
eight miles from the Potomac river; is
equally distant from the Rappahan-
mock, and about 125 miles from the At
lantic coast. Some few months since,
some gentlemen at or near Edge Hill
burned brick kiln. The spot from
which the clay was dug formed kind
of basin, and this basin was soon filled
with water from the melting snow and
rain. In about thirty days after the
basin was filled, it was discovered to be
filled with fine large catfish. 1t was
impossible for these fish 10 come from
any body of water, as this pond has no
connection with any body Of water, and
it is known that no one put the tsh in
there.
This statement is perfectly authentic,
and is vouched for by Hon. John E.
Mason, member OF the legislature from
King George. Mr. Mason is much in
terested in the matter from both a
scientific and practical standpoint. He
is satisfied, as matter of science, that
The fish have come into the pond by a
natural process of evolution, and with
the present low prices of grain and
good demand for food fish, is inclined
to think that it might be well for the
farmers to turn their attention to the
subject of catfish farming. Mr.. Mason
has heard of other ponds in King
Gorge in which fish have appeared un

A WHIPPING SNAKE,-A letter in
Yesterdays Philadelphia Times from
Fort Wayne tells the following tall
story:
edward, the year old son of B. c.
Nelkins, living near this place, had a
very narrow escape from death q few
DAYS since. The little fellow had pet
hen of which ne was very fond, and
recently this hen stole a nest under the
house and Matched out brood of young
chicks. 1t became Edwards daily duty
thereafter to feed the old hen and her
little family, and he found infinite de-
light in playing about with his cricks @
under the house in the shade. The
other day after Edward had been some
time gone with the fooG for his chicks,
his father heard him screaming, and
ran out to fiLd that coachwhip snak e
had beaten the child almost within an
inch of his life. Nelkins lost no time
in demolishing the reptile, but it was
quite while before Edward could be
restored.

WANTED TO BE A MosQUITo.-The
eccentricities of Millionaire Edwin
Baker, who died June Is, were brought
out in bold relief in New York on
Wednesday in the suit brought by the
widow to set aside his will. 1t is al.
legged that the testator was mentally in
capacitated from making will; that
his Incorporate habits had affected his
mind, and that the will was made
under undue and improper influence.
By the will the widow was left only
what the law would allow her, while a
number of others, including one Susan
Murrell, with whom Mr.. Baker had re-
s ded before his death, came in for a
large share of the estate.
William Schurtz, who was long
Bakers general handy man, testified
that Baker drank excessive quantities
of liquor and was crazy from its effects.
One one occasion he had said that the
would rather spend 20 years in hell
than breathe the same air with his wife
FIVE minutes. At another time, when
his wife sent him a pudding, he said he
believed she was trying to poison him.
Witness also said that Mr.. Baker
once told him that when he died he
hoped lie would be transformed into a
mosquito so that he might come back
and tantalize his wife. Several other
witnesses testified as to Mr.. Bakers in
temperance and eccentricities.
