Book Of the Royal Blue for july.

The July number of the Book of
the Royal Blue, which is published
regularly every month by the Balti-
more 4 Ohio X. R., is especially in
teresting. 1t has been the custom to
devote the July number every wear
to stories of the Civil War, and the
present number contains a graphic
description of the battle of Antietam,
illustrated by photographs taken
shortly after the battle, as well as
photos of more recent date. Particu-
larly remarkable is the photograph,
used as a frontispiece, of President
Lincoln Interviewing General McClel-
Ian at Antietam, in October. 1869.
and the Burside Bridge, showing an
army train crossing over it. These
photographs were loaned and pub
lished by permission of the War De-
partment. An accurate description
is given of the position of the Union
forces in the battle, in accordance
with reports of General Mcclellan.
while the graphic description of the
closing scene at Burnside Bridge is
quoted from q war correspondent
who was present at the time. An
official map published by the Govern
ment enables the reader to follow the
battle closely.
The movement of troops to and
from the battle of Antetam greatly
affected the lines of the Baltimore &
Ohio r. r., which were then constan-
ly in a state of decentralization from
thecontinued fighting in its territory.
The number also contains an inter
esting war romance of Virginia, emit
tied "A Womanly Woman;" poem
by DR.. Thos. Calver, of Washington,
on THE March of the Gallant 9Th
Corps" and onother poem by the
same author, entitled TOO Soon

we'll worth the efforts of the people.
1t has a moral, an intellectual and
financial value Land and houses
with beautiful surroundings will fetch
more money than the same property
would if surrounded by forbidding
scenes, ugly and neglected landscapes
and uncared-for buildings. Every
town desires to attract citizens. to
induce people of refinement to buy
or rent property and reside within
its limits. People will not go TO an
ugly or neglected town to live if they
can find one which is better cared for.
Children raised in beautiful homes
have decided advantage over those
who spend their early years amid
ugliness. Therefore the Improvement
OF the appearance of a community
has an Importance which is difficult
to overestinate. \ few years ago
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
adopted the policy of planting flowers
at the stations along the road This
example has been followed by other
companies, and most of the railroad
stations throughout the land are now
surrounded by beautiful gardens and
well-kept shade trees. This adds to
the pleasure of travelling, as il is
much more pleasant to see flowers
from the ca, windows than to look
upon weeds and waste places Every
dollar spent in this way has doubt
less been returned four-fold. 1t is
good policy for Il railroad company to
make the country through which its
road passes attractive, for that in
duces people TO settle along the line,
and every family so coming adds to
the revenues of the company.
One of the most striking illustra-
tons of the commercial value OF beau
ty is supplied by the city of Washing
ton. For three quarters Of a century
that city was neglected. Its parks
s'AN '''t - WHY ubCdiNNN lOl' llo
streets We're u wilderness of mud and
dust, unshaded from the burning
heat of the sun. Its property was al
most unstable, and no visitor stay
ed in it longer than it took him to
transact his business and leave. Alex
ander Shepherd about thirty years
ago inaugurated the policy which
has been steadily pursued ever since.
Trees were planted along the side
walks, often in double rows, at the
public expense, every vacant place at
the intersection of streets or avenues
were made into a park or garden, and
by steadily pursuing this wise policy
Washington has become perhaps the
most beautiful city of America This
has made it favorite place of resi-
dence. Splendid private houses have
been built, and the value of real es-
tate and the prosperity of the people
have increased at rate which is al
most without II parallel. Washington
while the most CONSPICUOUS in this
work, is not alone. There has been
a general movement to improve the
country. The planting of trees has
been encouraged by the institution
OF Arbor Day, and forestry assoeia
lions have sprung into existence
The Springfield %Ohio) magazine en-.
titled How TO Make Flowers Grow
has in the past two years devoted
considerable attention to the work Of
village improvement association de
voted to the work of identifying it,
streets, planting trees and inducing
citizens to keep their houses and
grounds in good Baltimore

Lockwood Academy at Nos. 1873 and 40 South
Oxford-st The closing exercises of this institu-
ton next Friday will mark the end of DR.. Lock
woods long career as a teacher. The academy
will be hereafter conducted by the Misses Carr,
who have been associated with its founder for
many years.
Dr. Lockwood was born in Poughkeepse, July
l3, 1884, and was resred q Quaker. He still re-
tains his connection with that society In 1884 his
father who a prominent merchant, moved
to New York and his prepared for Co
lumba College in private schools Entering col
lege the age OF seventeen. he completed his
course with honor. At every mathematical exami-
nation he won ono OF the two coordinate prizes.
After being graduated DR.. Lockwood took short
course in medicine at the University Of Mich
igan but his mind turned naturally to teaching.
and he soon returned to that pursuit. In 1854 he
became assistant editor Of Morris and Wils's
Home Journal" but this work was not congenial
and given up after a year.
Astronomy favorite study of DR.. Lock
wood. and he was constantly adding TO his knowl-
edge this subject. In 1858 he began TO write
a series of weekly articles on astronomical sub
jects for The Tribune. These articles, which were
for popular reading continued with marked
success until the breaking out of the Civil War
When DR.. Thomas Hill, president of Harvard Uni
versity, was obliged to give up his task of prepar
ing the articles astronomical subjects for the
American Encyclopedia DR.. Lockwood succeeded
Dr. Lockwood has during his long career done
considerable writing for magazines and papers, but
written several books. These have, however never
been published and it is with the idea of completing
these works and putting them upon the market
that he now retires from active teaching.
In 1863 two teachers from the Polytechnic lnSti-
started school on the site of Adelphi Acad-
envy. They sold the property 10 Or. Lockwood,
with the understanding that the school be
reopened iii the fall The school, which was
named Adelphi Academy grew rapidly in numbers
and influence The academy soon grew so large
that DR. Lockwood decided in order to still further
usefulness. that II should be lncor-
porated. This step was taken in 1869. In the first
wear a dispute arose between DR.. Lockwood the
head of the school. and the trustees. 1t resulted
in his retirement and in 1870, at the request OF
number of persons formulated at public meeting,
Or Lockwood was asked 10 open another school
