A good story is told at the expense
Of conductor on the Delaware rail
ruau. Several days ago on the run
from Delmar to this city lady was
one Of the passengers from station
down the State. Her ticket called for
Wilmington. hut she asked the con-
duator il he would stop at Farnhurst
for her. The conductor was accommo.
dating and said he would do so. When
Farnhurst was reached the train stopped
and the conductor stepped TO the plat
form ready to give the order to go ahead
as soon as his passenger alighted. She
failed TO appear, but car window went
up and hand appeared holding big
bouquet. 1t was that of the LADY. She
called the conductor and asked him to
give the flowers TO Station Agent
Kramer and ask him to send them to a
certain person at the asylum. The
conductor s face was study. He had
not been uaetl TO stopping his train for
houquets and he didn't like it worth a
cent. Station Agent Kramer was stand
ing by and when he asked the con-
uuctor since when had he been stop
ping his train for bouquets it was tun
much. The null on the whistle cord to
go ahead only family emphasized the
feelings Of the accommodating rail.

OYSTERS AND poLIrIcs.
Narrow Policy of Marsiand Compared with
the Liberal Laws of Virginia,

the Liberal Laws of Virginia.
Easton. Nd. Aug. 25. lit Ia said that
some Republican candidates in Talbot
county propose to bring the oyster into
politics by advocating the closing Of
the Cnoptank River to surane and
dredge boats, thus making it reserved
water for tongmen. ~
The effect OF such legislation would
be to drive the oyster packers of Oxford
and Cambridge out Of business, rs the
supply of tonged oysters would not be
sufficient to keep the packing houses
running. As the local packers furnish
the tougmen with the hest and most
constant market, IL can DO readily seen
how injurious it would be- even 10 them
to force the packers to remove their
plants elsewhere.
A prominent packer OF Oxford says
the tendency of the Chesapeake OYSTER
packing business is to leave Maryland
aud settle in Virginia, whose oyster
laws are more liberal and where there
is a much better system than the an
tiquated one Maryland has adhered 20
for SO many years under Democratic
rule. In Virginia waters dredging and
scraping, instead OF being restricted and
| prohibited, ia encouraged at proper
seasons, and with the Development OF
| transportation facilities now going on
rapidly in that section Of the South tho
business is bound TO go there. Virginia
laws too, encourage the planting and
cultivating Of oysters and provide for
private ownership OF oyster grounds,
and protects the oyster from poaGhera
by an adequate police force. 81 have a
fine offer now to move my business to
Norfolk, y he says, (which am con-
sidering. / shall certainly do it if the
Choptank River is made forbidden
ground to our local scrape boats by leg
islation. And so will other Oxford aud
Cambridge houses. The next T,egisa-
ture, instead of passing more restrictive
laws. should adopt a new and liberal
policy that will enable people who are
in the oyster business to plant oysters
and have them protected as other pri
yate property. This is the only waS
Maryland can reform what is left o
the Chesapeake oyster business, The
volume of this business in Baltimore il
