HONOR GOV. LOWNDES.
Resolutions Adopted by Trustees of
Maryland Agricultural College.

Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star
HYATrSVILLE, Md, December II. 1880,
At a meeting of the board of trustees of
the Maryland Agricultural College, held at
the college, December 8, resolutions offered
by Mr.. Chales Stanley were adopted unant-
mously, setting forth that before the next
regular meeting OF this board the presi-
dent ex-officio of the board, Gov. Lowndes,
will terminate his services as a member
thereof, we desire to place upon record an
appreciation of his services as president as
a member Of the board, as governor Of the
state and a friend of the institution,
which has ever tended to the IMPROVEMENT
of the college, the elevation of its stand
ard and its material interests. His aid in
obtaining state appropriations has enabled
US to make great needed improvements, and
his advice and guidance in the administra-
ton of affairs has ever encouraged the
proper civil service principles which has
secured the earnest and able performance
OF duties by those employed.
I'VE shall part with much personal re-
greet and we extend to him our best wishes
for his future happiness and welfare"
In relation to the meeting held last FRIDAY
the faculty and students We're very much
chagrined over the report in several of
the Baltimore morning issues, in which it
was stated that on the disappearance Of
Gov. Lowndes three lusty cheers were given
for Governor-eleet Smith, whereas the
cheers were given IN honor of the governor,
who was present, and who responded in a
courteous manner to the compliment. The
students of the college desire the report to
be denied in the most emphatic terms. and
say that such a discourteous act would not
be countenanced by them, as the governor
is held in the highest esteem not only by
the faculty but by the students of the col
legs.

society, but she discharged with grace and
tact the hospitality of Hatfield. Lady Sails

their father that the younger Cecils derived
their strong high church swmpathies.
Effect ON Lord Salisbury.
What effect the death of Lady Salisbury
may have upon her distinguished husbands
political career it is impossible to say.
When late last summer it became known
that Lady Salisburys death was only a
matter of few months his supporters took
the most opposite views as to its conse-
quences on his political position. Some
thought that 1t would lead to his retirement
from office, and others that it would make
him stick closer to work than ever. No
one at present can form any opinion. 1t
may be taken for granted that the prime
minister will hold on till the present crisis
in affairs is surmounted; but whether he
Will continue to devote his whole time and
energy to public life Is uncertain. The
prime minister lived much in his family
and 1 should not be surprised if early next
year it led to the reconstruction of the
government.
Strikes One as Rather Queer.
The various relief funds for the soldiers
and the victims of the var are mounting
rapidly. One of the sporting papers has
sent a dog about to collect money, and the
idea has been adopted by the Ladies' Ken
mel Association, which is organizing its
service of collecting dogs for the soldiers
funds with good deal of spirit and humor.
This appears in the conditions of enroll
ment, by which the dogs are to be formed
in companies. No. 1 Company will be called
the British Bulldogs, and will be recruited
of bulldogs, bull terriers, toy bulldogs and
white English terriers; No. 2, the Die
Hards, will be composed of North Britons,
Scotch terriers, Aberdeens. Dandy Dim
ments and Skyes, while No 8. an Irish
company, dubbed the Dare Devils, will in
apologies) both Welsh terriers and Aire-
dales. For the constitution of some of five
other companies more ingenuity has been
needed. The Loyal Dutchmen will, it is
true. consist very naturally of Schpperkes,
prgs and toy Griffens, and the class is well
thought of; while the friendly foreigners
may take in elbows, Dalmatians, Mongo-
lians, and stranger creeds. Also, 1t is q
happy idea to have company of British
dogs, colies and any kind of creditable
mongrel that guards a house. But not to
exclude some of the best creeds available it
has been needful to invent the Sportsman 8
Own and the Ladies' Own. These eight
are companies of the line. There still re-
main cavalry and artillery for a classical
ton more fanciful. The cavalry will be
recruited from English greyhounds. Scot
fish deerhounds, Irish wolfhounds and Bor-
zois (Russan auXiiaries); the artillery
from the mastiffs, bloodhounds, Mount St.
Demands, Great Danes and Newfound-
lands. The enlistment is now proceeding
with its headquarters at the Office of the
Ladies' Kennel Association.

Onion Spree. In Bern.

An annual "zwiebel Market or
onion market is held in Bern. and once
q year the peasants come from far and
near to purchase stock of onions for
the twelvemonth, and, in fact, it has
grown to be a custom on zwiebel mar
ket day for erybody, rich and poor, to
buy onions; if not for use. then for the
custom of the thing.
On Saturday night the onions ar
rive. Great boxes, baskets and barrels
of onions line one side of the longest
main street of the city, from the station
directly through the long arcaded ave-
nue. as far as the aresdes extend-about
mile. All day :day the onions re-
main in the street, covered with cloths
of every description, and early Monday
morning the sale begins. For two days
every one you meet has at least a string
of onions. and one walks the entire
length of the market and weeps.
A few days later come the dances.
Every saloon and hall is decorated, and
the young peasants, girls and lads, come
to town and make merry Every "wirt-
schaft'' is crowded with a pushing,
jostling throng of plump and rudy
faced PEASANTS. drinking, dancing and
''hiring out. There are no brawls,
only perhaps parties of merry pumpkins
walking through the streets at and
o'clock in the morning and yodeling,
without melody, at the top Of their
strong voices. Chicago Record.
