Baltimore and the South.

Two Interesting letters from gentle
men in Baltimore which were set for
the inside of our paper last week, but
which were crowded out, appear on
our first page this week. They read
none the less well on account of loca-
ton, and we commend them to our
readers as verifying the position we
have taken touching the unpleasant
odor of the political atmosphere of
Baltimore to Southern nostrils. There
is also letter on our second page from
a gentleman near Baltimore on the
same subject, who at one time lived
In this county, but who has long dwelt
In Maryland, which we also commend.
There is no question touching our
first position. Baltimore has turned
her back upon the South. She is more
opposed to the principles for which the
South has struggled than the bitterest
Republican community. She has help
ed empty two Democratic seats in the
Senate both OF which will soon be
filed with Republicans. In this
she has been assisted by such men as
Col. Chas. Marshall, Randolph Bar
ton, Skipwith Wilmer, Douglas Cor
don, Chas. H. Grasty and others,
whose feelings. no matter what they
have been, SAVIOR more of Wall street,
or dud Boston more conRenial, than
Baltimore itself. Gentlemen too who
have doubtless laundering after the
shoes OF Mr. German, and who find it
opportune at least to overthrow their
rival by adding to the Republican
denunciation OF him, their own. It is
a rumor that has long been current.
and We give it for what 1t is worth.

and since that denial the Sun, from an

upon him the most virulent abuse,
whether this was the cause Of thej
change no one can know certainly, butt
the fact remains that the change took
place. Baltimore may think that she
can sin and be forgiven. She may
think she can smite and have the
other cheek turned to her. but IN this /
she is mistaken. New York, her great

: Irving and Florence Gilbert, broth
az and sister, have astonished their
!1rienls in Sioux City, Ia, where they
are well known, by starting for New
ton, Mass. to buy a small farm and
work out an independent future after
q peculiar idea advanced by the BROTH
eR. This plan is to raise on the farm
all that they need and only what they
lNeed, to sell nothing, and to do with
cut whatever is to be had only by pur-
tShase. They are to cultivate the land
themselves and make their own cloth
ing. Miss Gilbert was graduated from
the Sioux Falls high school, and she
stzught in the schools there. She was
sctive socially in the city's life. Her
brother became known in Chicago dur
ing the worlds fair, where he was em-
.Rloyed as an architect on some of the
buildings. He is victim of dyspepsia
and nervous prostration, and he be-
JNsses that both, which he thinks came
izs the result of the high tension of city
life, will disappear in life of sim
iplicity.

DIED WITH HIS CHuM.
A Noble Conception OF Soldiers
Duty to His Friend.

Duty ttIS
In the "reminiscences of Gen. Sir
Evelyn Wood, himself brave English
soldier, touching instance of courage
and self-sacrifice is given, says an ex-
change. One June day in 1885 de-
tachment of English marines was cross
ing the Woronzow road under fire from
the Russian batteries. All of the men
reached shelter in the trenches except
a seaman, John Blewitt. AS he was
running q terrific roar was heard. His
mates knew the voice of huge can
non, the terror of the army, and
yelled:
Look out! It is Whistling DiclS!"
But at the momerN Blewitt was struck
by the enormous mass of iron on the
knees and thrown to the ground. He
called to his special chum:
"Oh, Welch, save mel"
The fuse was Kissing, but Stephen
Welch ran out of the trenches and,
selling the great shell, tried to roll ii
off of his comrade.
1t exploded with such terrific force
that not an atom of the bodies OF
Blewitt or Welch was found. Even in
that time, when each hour had its en-
citement, this deed of heroism stirred
the whole English army One of the
officers searched out Welch's old moth
support while she lived, and the story
of his death helped his comrades to
nobler conceptions of soldiers duty

There is q mouse in Florida locally
known as the trading mouse. 1t is COM
monty a woods mouse, but it quickly
adapts itself to human habitation. A
colony of such mice carried two bushels
of shelled beans 30 feet during six
nights recently and replaced the beans
with seed pods of q weed. Jewelry, too,
has been taken by these little traders,
says the New York Sun. One woman ON
the east coast of Florida at an. Indian
river winter resort found q number OF
eeed instead of n Pair of earrings that
she had left on the bureau. \ search in
the place where the seeds had been
taken disclosed the earrings.

in his room in an open-topped box was
surprised to find in their stead string
of prayer beads, a small crucifix, and n
number of shells. lie started an irvesti-
cation Immediately. A priest who had
roomed near by was equally puzzled by
finding the colored poker chips in his
room.
II is generally believed that tire trad
ing mouse learns its curious ways by
robbing squirrels or blue jays of nuts
laid by for future use.

Some Things That would Happen IL
ErperiEacntniists Had Their Way.
The reveTsibility of the physical
processes of nature has latterly been the
subject Of interesting comment, says
Cassier's Magazine. Lord Kelvin, for
example, has been credited with saying
that all of them, no matter how com
pick they might appear to the human
senses, consist in reality of the motions
of invisible molecules, and if, therefore,
by some means, all these molecules
could, at the same time, be made TO move
in exactly the opposite direction, and
each with the same velocity that ii
possessed al the moment, all the world
would begin and continue to move back
ward; waterfalls would flow up tho
sides of cliffs; rivers would run upward
from the sea; rain would rise; full
blown flowers would shrink into buds
and plants dwindle into seedlings, man
himself would become young again,
passing from old age to infancy. just
what kind of pictures such Il topsy-
turvy world would present may be seen
with kinetoscope running backward,
Prof. Queroult, according TO report, has
made observations in this line, and some
time ago communicated them TO the
French academy of science.

E An aged lady living at orrville, Wayne
county, o., is experiencing q singular
freak OF nature in the way of cutting
her third set Of upper teeth, she hay
ing lost her original second set ten years
ago, after a severe attack of sickness.
Early last fall she suffered greatly
from weakness of her eyesight and an
infiamed condition of her eyes,. Since
then she has also suffered from much
swelling and pain in the gums. The re-
suit is large-sized eyetooth, which is
&lmost fullgrown, while other teeth are
rapidly pushing their way through the
gums. The dentist who extracted and
made the lady's artificial teeth, pro-
nounce the case almost unknown in the
history of dentistry.
