IN THE SHIPBUILDER'S HANDS,
Our city is proud old ship
Among the fairest ones
Twas christened with the martyr blood
OF brave and loyal sons.
And since the time when first was launched
This proud, majestic bark.
She's sailed through and calm
Through pillows wild and dark.
Through troubled Of politics
Our Baltimore has passed,
And hurricanes Of strife which shook,
Our ship from keel to mast
The change and jars Of many years
Have oosed her stawart beams
And changing tides of veal and woe,
Have strained her mighty seams.
And while ship sailed proudly on,
Dark waves akin to shame,
Have touched her proud old sides, and marred
The beauty Of her
And 80 we bring grand old ship
For inspection and repair,
With all her virtues, all her faults,
To the great shipbuiders care.
And may he every wrong condemn,
And all that's right restore
And gloriously through storm and calm,
Shall sail Baltimore.

Comments Of the Baltimore Papers upon
Mayor Masters Address.


Mayor Masters Address.
There is but one opinion expressed upon
the burden Of Mayor Masters inaugural
address in Baltimore on Wednesday, and
that is commentator every where and on
every hand. The following extracts are
from the editorials Of the Baltimore dailies
on Thursday:
Sun:-Mr. Master inaugural is in tone
and substance so strong, so earnest and so
direct that it cannot fail to make a moss
favorable impression upon the public mind.
Its pledges have the solemnity of an oath
OF Office and bear on them the apparent
stamp OF entire sincerity. His leading,
almost his only theme, is the personal ard
official responsibility Of public servants to
the people, the enforcement OF the Cleve-
land maxim that public Office is public
trust" Judging Mr.. MaIster by the Ian
guage Of his inaugural, he seems thoroughly
imbued with sense Of his personal respon.
oioh'ey u the peopie anu noueStiy ueteT
mined to do his duty in the Office to which
they have called him. He may rest assured
that il he lives up to the spirit Of his
solemn pledges, the people Of Baltimore,
without respect to party, will not ouly
give him loyal and patriotic support. but
will unite in rendering him the honor
which he will in that event so richly
deserve.

Between 200 and 300 OF the Colonial and
American visitors now in London went

There's languid grace
In every trace
or charming form and feature.
Her hammOck's swung
The vines among,
On porch that's broad and airy
Where now and then
The passing men
Catch glimpses of this fairy.
She slowly swings.
And softly sings,
Her thoughts who can discover
Shell not confess.
But here's a guess
They're all about lover.
She whites away
The summer day,
OF coming conquest dreaming.
TIL in the west
The sun seeks rest.
And farewell rays are cleaning.
The night comes down,
In pretty gown,
Again she's slowly swaying,
But at her side.
With lovers pride.
Her George sweet things is saying.

Some fond words left unsDoken.
Two lovers sore.
While on the floor
The hammock ropes lie broken.
