How corn grows and is color Is refresh

ripe and small consignments are being

just lovely The turkeys will soon
have feast. Happy creatures True,
we cannot fsear, 1. e., our souI--that
mysterious something within as which
thinks and knows, wishes and desires,
rcjoices and is sorry-cannot hear un-
less the ear vibrates through sound.
Oh, we are delighted. Listen. Doves
are cooling. mocking birds are singing,
and high up In the air martins are heard
giving forth no uncertain sound Their
peculiar notes are pleasing res
ponding 70 the call Of mate. The birds
are happy and they cease not to praise
their Maker. The seed Of woman has
bruised the serpent's head. Mystery
Aye, profound and sublime. Man Is the
birds superior. Shall man, sirs, refuse
obedience and fail to praise his God ,
Isn't the mystery mentioned, although
too deep for finite mind to penetrate,
full Of consolation. The dove. the wren
and the proud and soaring eagle know
naught Of the scheme of redemption
yet, they send up their praise to heaven
for their existence and sustenance. Shall
man remain tacit or lament-groan in
despair-if his dream of life be alter
nately filed with joy and sorrow ? He
certainly can give his language definite
shape by embodying 1t in words and ex-
pressing it in speech. No shadow of
excuse is to be given. The sick man
may forget his WEAKNESS and pain in
pfayer-another word for praise. The
oppressed, may forget his wrong, and
the homeless may praise his Maker un-
der the shelter Of his roof-the material
mechanism, fearfully and wonderfully
made
A few changes in real estate are in
contemplation at an early day. Miller's
wharf will change hands soon, so SAYS
rumor. Oscar Jones, Esqr the present
sheriff, is negotiating with Mr.. Daugh-
terty, the owner, and although the psice
is stiff, sale may be effected soon.
Just SO soon as the Civil Service exam
nations are over, the Arrowsmith will
commence to bring Summer boarders TO
the different resorts on the lower Poto-
mac. Every preparation is made by
owners of resorts of the district to ac-
commodate persons who desire to leave
the monOtonous scenes of city life for a
few weeks.
Fish, such as crocus and trout, are be-
ing caught with hook and line. Messrs.
Herbert and Wood are shipping hard
crabs TO Baltimore. Large numbers are
reported. Wheat Is being threshed and
shipped as rapidly as circumstances will
admit.
We notice that Mr.. Dominick Raley,
of st. Inigo's Neck. has fine crop of
wheat. He sowed 65 acres and he has
realized LOO bushels, about 90 bushels
per acre. Mr.. Raley used Joshua Hor-
ner's Raw Bone" and he has signified
his intention to use ii for the future.
Horner's "Va. Tobacco Sustain" Is doing
wonders, and his "Ammoniated Bone"
for corn is excellent.
Calvert Raley lost a fine year old
colt recently. Over eating of wheat il
assigned as the cause of the death.
The dwelling at Greenhill, the prop
erty of George Cruikshanks, Esqr., was

fire, so we learn, was caused in conse-
quence of n defective flue. Mr.. John
Fenhagen, the tenant, lost much of his
bedding, furniture, etc.
Whooping cough is still here. It Is a
tenacious disease, and an occasional
death among children occurs. II should
be consoling to parents, the Jacobs and
Rachels, who weep for their children be-
cause ''they are not" to know that death
shall not triumph forever over the de-
parted little ones.
Zach Campbell, colored, a tenant and
employe of A. S. Benville and Company,
was kicked by a horse nth instant. DIR.
Tippett pronounces Campbell to be in q
critical condition. The abdominal re-
gion is particularly tender place to re-
ceiye the momentum of a horses feet,
shod with heavy shoes.
Mrs. Maud Tippett and Miss Hattie
Wear, of Newport, Charles county, are
visiting Mrs. A. l.. Adams, Of the Pine.
Politics! Hush, Honey You must
not say word about politics. The lead
ers prefer to do all the talking that Is to
be done on this subject behind closed
doors. You should not use any '.jingo"
expressions about il, either. Remember,
Honey, il is bad to be classed with the
''jingos." They are the swearers-prone
to premature explosions Of language un-
fit TO mention for ears polite. Let the
political leaders do as they please. They
are not children, Honey-'Pleased with
with rattle, tickled with a straw" I'm
derstand ? Hush or you will be like the
Dutchman who fell into the Zuyder Zee,
and, struggling in the waves, he cried
out for helping hands, but, alas cried
in vain. Finally, Honey, you should
bear in that normal mind OF yours, that
the leaders promise to become sponsors
for the candidates to be nominated at an
early day. Their devotion to pure poll
tics and high standards should not be
questioned. Hush
