AGRICULTURE IN MARYLAND

Agriculture is the most most valuable in.
prices and the dscouragements of the farmer,
his vocation lies at the basis of pro perity in
this Commonwealth.
Attention has been called from time to
time to the increase of manufactures, to the
mineral development of the State, and to
the growing Importance Of its manifold
transportation facilities. But none of these
things could advance in the proper accepta.
ton of the term without corresponding
progress in agriculture.
The prices of farm products have been
subjected to peculiar conditions for several
years This country has been advancing at
rapid rate. particularly in the multiplication
Of mechanical agencies to utilize power on
the one hand, and to save labor on the other.
As q consequence, the cost of production,
even upon farms, has been enormously re.
duced, and the vast multiplication OF rail
road lines and steamships has literally
brought the surplus fooistuffs of the world
into competition with the American farmer
10 the home market.
Tropical fruits now compete with those
OF the New York orchards and the peach
farms of the Eastern Shore in Baltimore.
Oranges from Florida. nuts from Georgia
and Alabama, bananas from the West In.
dies. grapes from California and meats from
the ranches of Texas are all exposed for sale
together with the oyster from the Chesa
peake and the -four from the Maryland mill

The New Orleans Picdyune says: "New
Orleans has earned quite a reputation dur,
ing the past few years for the immense car
goes of produce exported from her wharves
II is but few weeks since the steamship
American took out the largest cargo of cot
ton ever carried in single vessel, and Thurs
day the British steamship Haddon Hall
cleared for Rotterdam with cargo Of 203,
662 bushels of bulk corn, the largest cargo
of grain ever exported from any United
States port, or, for that matter, from any
port in the world.
"The HaddOn Hall is a new vessel which
came to New Orleans on her maiden trip.
She is to be followed shortly by sister
ship, the Hardwick Hail. also new vessel
which will take out as large, if not larger,
cargo OF grain than that cleared Thursday.
Grain is more commonly carried in part car
goes, but this port exports many full car
goes, but never before handled one within
10000 bushels as large as that cleared on the
Haddon Hall.
1.-THE shipments of grain have been quite
large this season and promise to be the
heaviest on record. Last month the exports
of corn alone reached 3,l35,000 bushels.
The movement of wheat has not been so
large owing to crop failures in the district

The Ohio Suite journal says: "The facil.
ity with which divorces are granted by our
courts is at once cause for serious thought
and q menace to the happiness and well
being OF the human family. The National
Bar Association has been exertiDg its infu-
ence for years in the interest of uniform
divorce laws, but so far without any appre
ciable effect. The laws in some States are a
disgrace TO civilization, and in no portion of
legal procedure is there 30 much room tor
of methods, in securing severance of the
marriage tie. The grand old scriptural in
junction, What God has joined together let
no man put asunder, has been amended so
by the ordinances OF wedlock any man can
put asunder for almost any cause in some
States of the Union
Laws allowing the breaking OF the bonds
that bind men and women together should
be Uniform in every State of the Union, and
DEGREES should only be granted for the one
cause recognized in the Scriptures In some
States under present statutes marriage is but
little more than free love. The Bible is the
only rule Of action in this matter, and par.
ties coming into court with daphanous ex-
cuses should have no standing therein. The
whole system needs reform and purgng -
At present il is a stencil in the nostrils Of

A dispatch from Annapolis, dated 14th

A dispatch from Annapolis, dated l4th
instant, says: "Chief Judge John N Rob
iEson, Of the Court of Appeals OF Maryland,
died about noon to day Of neuralgia OF the
heart, aged sixty eight years He had suf-
fered from several previous attacks. Sun
day night he had very severe attsck, and
on Monday made up his mind to consult
DR.. William Osler, OF the Johns Hopkins
Hospital, Baltimore, who had treated him
before for the same trouble. His daughter,
Mrs. Lloyd, wife of Lieut.. Edward Lloyd,
Jr., of the navy, prevailed upon him to go
70 her house, on Maryland avenue, where
he died. He had partially made his prepa-
rations to go to Baltimore, and his associates
on the bench who called at his boarding
house, on Duke of Gloucester street, were
informed that he had gone.
"His death in Annapolis was, therefore, a
very great surprise to them, as, indeed, 1t
was to nearly every one. DIR. II. Roland
Walton was called in last night, and later
Surgeon W. X Dubose, oil the Naval Acad
envy, saw him. The medical attendants
called again this morning and found him
improving, but in fifteen minutes after they
went away he died. His wife, Mrs. Lloyd
and other members of the family were with
him when he died.

A Quiet Rebulre.

A quiet rebuke was administered, &C
oording to the local paper, to an impolits
clerk In little back street butchers shop
IN Roxbury, Mass, q few days ago. A
lady had purchased from him some meat
anu stood waiting for him to wrap it in
paper for her. He did SO, but instead Of
banding her the package he threw it care
iessly upon the counter beside her, not
taking any notice whatever of her out
stretched hand. Not word did the Gus
toner say, but instead, ignoring the hand
which the clerk held out for tho money, she
threw tho coins into mound of vegetables
and Id most composed manner left the
store. It was neat lesson In politeness
for the CLERK, and his sheepish look plain
~ indicated that 1t was not nnnoticed.

Missed the Punctuation.

Even so slight mistake as the plac-
ing Of a comma instead of dash
brought sharp disappointment to a
Frenchman in Washington the other
day.
The Frenchman had grown fond of
horsefiesh, it is explained, and was
greatly pleased, on taking up bill of
fare in one Of the fashionable restau-
rants Of the capital, to read
Pot roast-horse radish sauce.
The waiter was at his elbow, and the
people at the next table heard the
Frenchman say eagerly:

re roast horse, wiz ze radish sauce. -
