Upon the invitation Of Mr. Win. T.
Amoss, Director of the Farmers'' Insii.
tuses Of Maryland. several well-knowp
farmers recently made q pilgrimage
through portions OF Baltimore and Car
roll counties, Nd, and York comfy, Pa.
Much general information was gained
through the investigations made and on
the return to Baltimore She Southern
Maryland farmers expressed themselyes
as follows:

the manifold advantages TO be derived

''2 In, our opinion the farmers. Ipi
SoptbeTn Maryland should adopt meth
cd 'of farming by which they win grow
and fatten more cattle, sheep, hogs
horses and especially calyes from good
strains, and grow otly as'mucil tobacco
as csnlhe properly cultivated and pre-
pared for market. thus extending the
scope OF their operations and increasing
the revenue from their faEuzs. ~ 80 .
-. Besides the standard crops oi
wheat, corn and tobacco, there should bt
grown upon every farm Tor grazing pur.
poses, cOwpeas. crimson cloyer and rye

wisest people Of allare ag4g over
natural phenomenon that occurred
there the other night during tie burn
ing Of the government shopJ in the
Brooklyn Navy Yard. 1t was dtremen-
dous fire and the reflection waE seen for
many miles around. At its height,
Greater New Workers. were Startled and
awestricken by the apparitbn of what
appeared to, be a mighty ! sword, or
scimitar, of flame coming out Of the
darkness and extending athwart the
black sky 1t was an awesome looking
thing and cleft the heavens in twain
from horizon to horizon.
1t Immediately threw the metropolis
on its mental beam ends, to borrow a
naval term, and set many New Workers
to thumbing dusty Bibles, under the
faint impression they had heard of a
sword of fire in connection with that
Book, and to ascertain its portent to
humanity. The editors of course ioked
about it next day, but it was only in a
sickly, weak way, which brought forth
few smiles. for three-fourths OF New
York, deep down in its heart, was wor-
ried about that sword of fame which
stretched so menacingly over the great
city like fiery rainbow.
And speaking Of rainbows, there is
not the slightest question in the world
that that is all it was. with the ire
mendous Navy Yard fire furnishing the
light and peculiar condition OF the at
mosphere at the tail end of the biz
zSrd making a gigantic reflector in the
sky. It is phenomenon frequently
seen on smaller scale in Wheeling
when the air and sky are favorable and
the great blast furnaces below the city
are in full blast.
The circumstance calls to mind a
similar occurrence that struck New
York dumb with awe just before war
with Spain was declared. It was a
fiery cross that appeared at night in the
heavens just over the Palisades. The
greater city was all agog until it was
discovered that the fiery cross was
caused by searchlight signal expert
ments at Fort Hamilton. Then the
laugh was On the superstitious metro
polls.

AN INDIAN IN DOUBT.

A United States marshal relates that
he was once ordered to go after an In
dian who was selling whisky to his
dusky friends. After he captured the
warrior he gave him long lecture on
the deprayity of his conduct After
listening stolidly, the half-breed said:
Amt dere no way l can get helped
outer this?"
mo one can help you now but God, =
his captor answered.
The prisoner shook his head sadly
in hopeless manner as he muttered:
We'll, God he good deal like Uncle
Sam. Injun never see him. San

a GLUT OFFOOL MEASURES.

Between 400 and 500 bills have been
introduced in this Legislature, but not
one has yet gotten clear through the
mill and received the endorsement of
the executive. And the more we con-
template some of the measures pre-
scented to the body, the better we are
pleased with the situation. Bad as
that situation is, and hopelessly buried
as are many measures of Importance,
the situation might be still worse, for
the whole batch of bills might have
been rushed through and placed as laws
on the statute book-and that would
have been a calamity, indeed, for the
bad and foolish bills outnumber the
good and necessary ones by at least
ten to one. Too many laws are worse
than too few, and there are too many
laws on our statute books to-day-too
many inconsequential statutes that
merely lumber up the pathway Of JUS
tice.
But the most useless, bad and foolish
laws we have are the embodiment of
wisdom, compared with some of the
measures introduced at every session
by the score Take for example, the
bill solemnly introduced the other day
to make tobacco-chewing in church I'M
lawful!
The members themselves are not al
ways, or probably even in the majority
of instances, responsible for the intro
duction of this glut of fool legislation.
The bulk Of it originates with foolish
or cranky constituents, and to prevent
giving offense, legislators frequently
introduce, by request" measures they
would not think of supporting and
which they know will never see the
calendar. 1t is a practice which will
doubtless prevail as long as there are
fool constituents and legislators with
too great a horror OF making enemies
to say them nay.

Above--.River Rising at Weston.
Navigation n.Sumed at Cincinnati.

There is every indication that the
ice will pass out without much dam
age. The thaw, accompanied by the
light DRILLING rain, is gladly welcomed
by the riVermen. The rain will rot the
ice to such an extent that when it
breaks it will be too light to harm
any river craft that may be in it's way.
The thaw has melted the snow to such
an extent as to cause the river 10 swell
slightly. Al this point the marks
showed nearly 10 feet and rising slow
ly. According to all indications, the
ice in the creek is still very solid 1t
showed no indications Of breaking up
yesterday.
1t would take at least three feet of a
rise to send the ice out of the river, and
as yet there are no indications OF such
rise from above. Rain was promised
for last night at the headwaters. 1t
is the general impression that the ice
will pass off very quietly.

NO DAM AT MARIETTA.

Special 10 the Register
Marietta, O., February 13.-Intelli-
gence of the Senate committees action
in striking the Marriott dam appropria-
ton from the river and harDor bill was
received here to-day with painful sur
prise, and it caused great disappoint-
ment among all classes. 1t is felt that
no such result could have occurred had
the appropriation been vigorously
backed up by Senators Hanna and For
aker. Major BiXby recommended that
the Marietta dam be first constructed
before the Wheeling dam was talked
about, and the people here who have
labored diligently for several years to
secure it feel that they have been
jockeyed at Washington. The recent
action of the City Council in passing
a resolution Of thanks to Bixoy, Berry
and Shattuck causing considerable bad
feeling between certain Ohio Congress
men is rOundly denounced as an indi-
rect cause Of the appropriation be-
ing turned down.
