The Charge of the Maryland Troops

The call for contributions to place
a monument on the spot consecrat-
ed by the blood of Maryland SOL
diers, will cause the almost forgot
ten heroic event in the battle of
Long Island to be again read with
renewed interest by the great grand
descendants of the heroes of the
Maryland line. From Headley's
life of Washington, we take the
following description of the thrill
ing event:
"Pressed in front and rear by an
overwhelming force Stirling saw
at glance his desperate position
The only chance of saving any part
of his forces was, with small band
of resOlute men to keep CORVALLIS
employed while the main body,
fording Gowanus creek lower
down, could gain the flank of the
enemy and escape to fort Putnam
on the Brooklyn Heights. The tide
was fast rising and what was done
must be done quickly. Calling
around him a portion of Small.
woods glorious regiment of Mary,
landers composed almost entirely OF
young men of rank and wealth, ht
hurled them with such terrible
impetuosity on the British grena
diers that the latter recoiled with
amazement from the shock. Flush
ed, however, with the previous easy
victory, and disdaining to yield tC
! a band of undiciplined rebels, they
rallied to the attack, and the con
tlict became close and murderous
But these gallant young men, each
a hero, pressed so steadily and res
olutely into the fire that they bore
down all opposition and for the first
time in open combat rolled back
the veterans of England"

CoLoRA, MD, Jan. 18th, '95.
Mr.. EDITOR: A branch of Forepaugh's show
seems to have played huge joke on the business
men of Colora few days ago. Information came
on electric wing to Dad" Bare that the show
would be here on the 10th, about noon, and asking
him to sell tickets for admission and to engage
some boys to take part in the performance, for
which they were to get free tickets This ofcour
excited the merchants as much as it pleased the
boys, as a show of such proportions would of ne
cessity bring increased trade for the merchants
and whole harvest of fun for the boys. About
this time the town of Korner Ketch was also noti-
fled that the show was coming that way enroute
for Colora and right here the Colora people came
dangerously near dropping their candy. The Kor-
ner Ketchers tried to head the show and place
Colora in false light by stating that Korner
Ketch was greater metropolis than the city be-
tween the hills. But happily one much interested,
Henry Clay like, conceived the idea of compro-
mise and after much directing of effort and the
aid of few willing hearts it was agreed that the
two metropolitan towns accept Magraw's woods as
"middle ground" Meanwhile Dad" was bus
lily hiring boys to help. At this writing the show
has not put in its appearance and the people are
been stranded by the storm. However, many are
anXiously awaiting its coming, while others are
not satisfied to wait but have girded up their loins
and marched to meet it. "Billy Grant watches
Magraw woods by day and Buffalo Bill'' keeps
guard by night; Canada Pears acts as detailed
messenger boy; "Forde" has much enthusiasm
and expects to get permanent employment on the
force.
Human nature surely remains constant to her
self; her noble impulses live on and on from age
to age and her foolish pranks never die. Nations
may rise and fall principalities and powers may
brighten and fade, mountains may shrink their
size and continents may dwinde into granulatons
and run into the submerging seas, and even Nature
herself may change her face so that her devotees
know her not but human nature remains the
samoa brass band for the "nigger," wisdom for
the wise, folly for the foolish, but above all things
a show for a boy. UNCLE WHISPERS.

A Local Revolt in Mexico Causes Nu-
merous Deaths.

st. Louis, May ia special from Ell
Paso, Tex, says: Information has been
received here of a bloody local revolt
which broke out in settlement between
the towns of Guadalupe, Calvo and Var
vagama in the State of Chihuahua, Mex
leo, few days ago. The trouble began
when the natives living in the district
attacked a surveying party under G. P.
Morrison, an American, and killed 20
of the party. The affair was reported
to the commander of the Mexican troops
at Parral, who Immediately started
detachment of 100 men to the scene.
Last Wednesday the troops were as
|saulted by the natives and the troorS
retreated, leaving half of their dead ,l:.ssSs,
wounded on the battle ground. The
appointment of the American, Morrison,
to survey government land, which is now
occupied by native farmers, caused the
trouble. Morrison was to receive a GER
tain portion of the lands for his work.
The natives number about 1000 men living
in the district, which is surrounded by
mountains. Troops have been ordered to
quell the riot. Morrison has escaped.

The Republicans Will Take no Dish in

Governor Hoog in His Rounds
of the East.

Said gentleman i'm the Drskill lobby
to me last night: "The Republicans in
Texas are losing no sleep over this silver
squabble, while the Democrats are fret
ting themselves to death, and if they are
not careful we will hit them in certain
places very hard next year while they are
not looking. The Republicans anticipated
this silver movement a year ago and we
discounted it in our last campaign. We
brought the people right up to the ques-
ton then and faced the music, as we
knew it had TO be done sooner or later.
| am glad, however, that this silver agi-
tation is being brought up now, for it
will give everybody plenty of opportunity
to talk it over and, likewise, time enough
for the movement to play itself out if the
people finally conclude that free coinage
is not desirable for this government to
undertake single handed. | do not think
that the Republicans will take any big
dish in the silver question'in Texas. They
are perfectly willing to set back and let
the Democrats Wrangle in their own
ranks and also with the Populist, and then
if the opportunity offers, why, of course,
the Republicans will step in and take a
big chunk of pie. In other words, the Re
publcans are willing to wait and watch"

A GOOD JOKE ON HOGG.

l noticed a good thing in an Eastern
paper the other day on Governor HOgg
which is herewith reproduced
There is good joke on Governor Hogg
of Texas For many years he has been a
rip-roaring free silver man. Down in
Texas he has the ear of the people and, as
Colonel Sterrett says, they would burn a
barn if Hogg told them ito. Having edu,
Gated his people up to the free silver idea
by dint of speeches and writings, Cover
nor Hogg concluded to go down to New
York recently and place some railroad
bonds for q company in which he is in
terested. He found the capitalists of
New York and Boston thoroughly ac-
quainted with the natural resources of
Texas. They admitted the richness of
its soil, the favorable nature of its climate,
the industry of its people, the fair prospect
for the future, but they did not want any
Texas railroad bonds. And why not 2
asked the bewildered governor.
4 will tell you why responded one of
the capitalists. See this gold dollar?
You want me to lend it in Texas; at the
same time you are trying to put this gov
eminent in possession of a school of
economists who promise to pay me back,
not this gold dollar, but this and here
the capitalist produced a 50-cent piece.
Governor llogg saw the point and has
been thinking about it ever since. The
fact that he couldn't place his bonds has
helped him to a clearer understanding of
the relations existing between agitation
and prosperity"
The question now arises will Judge
Reagan and Governor CulbersOn ever he
placed in a position where they can fully
appreciate the fact that records some
time confront them?

MONEY IN EVERYTHING.

"You Southern people don't pay enough
attention to old rubbish" remarked Il
drummer from New York yesterday
Now, | notice all through the South that
tin cans find their way to the trash pile
and are allowed to stay there and rust
away. In the East thousands of these
cans are gathered in cities every week
and made into shining Sheets which are
used to decorate or cover large travelling
trunks. a number of factories for the
conversion of old, buifeted and battered
cams and other hin refuse from the ash
heaps have sprung up in recent years
and the business is Il growing one. The
cans are collected in various ways, but
principally from the city ash heaps and
the hotels and the large boarding houses.
At the factory the soldered seams are sub
jected to an intense heat in such a way
that the solder runs into a receptacle and
is carefully saved and sold. 1t brings
II cents a pound, and the profit from this
source alone almost pays the expense of
gathering and handling the cans. The
tops and bottoms of the cans are melted
and turned into window sash weights.
The labels on the tin plate are easily TAX
en- off after having been thoroughly soaked
in water and the plates themselves are
rolled fiat by machinery. As the insideS
of the plates are not much discolored by
the contents of the can, they present a
clean surface and make excellent cover
ings for trunks, the seams being hidden
by the trunk braces, either of wood or
sheet IRON MAN OF LEISURE.
