SOME Of our kind neighbors, wise aud
otherwise have become imbued with
the idea that Annapolis sets great store
10y the Legislature and its members. It
has become common thing to poke
fun at us and taunt us with filling our
Golfers at the expense of these solons
during their sojOurn here. Never was
mistake greater, and the sooner our
neighbors aud friends (?l disabuse their
minds Of such erroneous ideas, the better.
The Legislators bring us little If any
thing. They spend as little time in An
napolis as possible. Few of them have
rooms or take lodging here and when
ever it is possible, which is very often
indeed, special trains are run TO Balti-
more after the night session for their
benefit. Oh, no, it is not Annapolis,
but Baltimore that gets the profit, If
profit there be, in the entertainment of
the biennial solons. We start out with
lunch rooms, eating houses and various
places tempting the appetite of the
most epicurean but in vain. Few of
these are patronlzed, and the promoter
Of the enterprise is the loser. Even the
barber shops suffer for the expected
trade, aud the solons either so unshaven
or wait to get to Baltimore where they
can get i've cent serape. A popular
barber remarked to as recently that al
though the Legislature had been in ses-
sian month he had not shaved one of
its members up to date.

THIRTY Of the ninety days session OF
the Legislature have been fitted away
in personal politics by the members, and
scarcely bill of any importance has
thus far been passed. In fact nothing
has been done in the way Of general
legislation. There are number of
very important measures to come be-
fore the General Assembly which viii
take up great deal of discussion. The
assessment bill, the free school bill, the
appropriations bills, the oyster bills,
the Reform League bills, and a number
OF minor bills, Will NIL consume much
time before their passage, to say nothing
of the numberless local bills: and if the
members don't apply themselves and
get down to business we fear much
needed legislation will go undone or be
crowded at the end of the session, and
be hastily passed without due consldera-
ton. &c does seem that the most inn
portant measures are put off until the
close Of the session. and then it is rush
ed through IN such haste, that often the
laws become aunulled, or are subject to
litigation. Get down to business gentle
men, get down TO business, and redeem
your pledges of reform to the people.

rest of the world as wild desert, actu-
ally could not grasp it all. The giant
strides that have been made in changing
these places from uncultivated wilder

sirable feature of the highest civilization,
astounded me.
"And San Francisco affected me the
