THE WISE OLD CROW

Not all the people know
The wisdom of tho Crow;
As they see him me- and 60
With verdict hriet
They say. You thief!'
And wish him only woe.
That he's selfish admit.
Iiut he has lot of Srit.
And on favor not = bit
Does ho depend;
Without = friend
He must live by mother-wit
The Crow is rather shy,
With u very wntChful eve
For danger coming nigh,
And any one
Who bears sun
He's pretty sure to spy.
The clever farmers plan
Is to make sort of ban.
BY stu1ilng clothes with bran.
Topped with tile
OF ancient style
A funny old scarecrow man.
The Crow looks on with scoru,
And early In tho morn
Pulls up the farmers corn:
He laughs at that,
The queer old hat.
or the scarecrow man forlOrn.

Congress and the Territories.

The Chicago Post, discussing the Republi-
can contention that the power of Congress is
absolute in the Territories, says that ii our
Territories hold their liberties by grace OF
Congress that body is in a position to repeal
its legislation at any time and deprive New
Mexico, Arizona, Alaska, and possibly the
District Of Columbia, of all of their constltu-
tional rights.
The Republicans, says the Post, do not find
any sanction or warrant in the decisions of the
Supreme Court for their theories. "On the
contrary states the Post, "every case which
involved the operation Of the Constitution IN
our Territories has been decided tbe other
way. For example, can Congress prohibit
the free exercise of religion in the Territories
Undoubtedly, if il is omnipotent and IN no
wise hound by the Constitution in legisating
for Territories. But what does the Supreme
Court say Ina Utah case that tribunal said :
Congress cannot pass law for the govern

Local Scenery.

The scenery seeking people of this state and
county go to Niagara Falls and other places
of note TO view the beautiful works of nature.
They do not take notice of our local scenery
which is among the grandest of this country.
The natural sights of interest which abound
in Carroll and Frederick counties alone are
far superior to many scenes which have been
given much space in the Geography of the
United States. Take for instance the village
and surrounding country of Taylorsville, in
this county. This village is situated on one
of the highest points of PARIS Ridge, which
originates in Virginia, follows parallel with
the Atlantic coast, and runs through Mary
land, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and
terminates near the city of New York, into
what is known as the Palisades Standing
anywhere in this village you may view the
Blue Ridge Mountains. On the western side,
between this ridge and the Blue Ridge Noun
tains lies one of the most beautiful valleys in
the state. Then letting the eye gradually fall
you view the head waters Of Talbot Creek,
which flows through the narrow but beautiful
Talbot Valley, in which is some of the most
fertile land Of our state.
This stream has its head waters far upon
the side of PARIS Ridge, in fact very near the
ton of the ridge. 1t makes its way through a
valley of rustic beauty for about three miles,
when the valley suddenly becomes one ol
grandeur-a narrow ravine with rocky walls
rising to the height of nearly 1000 feet and
almost perpendicular. They are, in fact, SO
nearly vertical that ascent is almost impossi.
BILE. These hills and surroundings are known
as the "Bald Hills" The gulch dividing
these hills, and through which runs. Talbot
Creek, is about four miles long, and suddenly
terminates into a valley Of exceeding beauty.
This stream glides softly into the Monocacy,
which empties into the Potomac.
Then, from the little village before men,
toned, you may view, on the east, stream
which also rises high up in the Ridge, and
which ruas in an easterly direction, that is,
directly opposite to the direction taken by
Talbot Creek. This is the headwaters of the
Patapsco, and terminates in the Chesapeake
Bay.
Then from one place we may view the above
named streams which have their headwaters
nor over one-quarter of a mile apart, yet they
flow in directly opposite directions.
But these are not the only streams which
have their headwaters about this village OF
grand scenery, but there are many other ris-
ing near here, and each has its share of beauty.
The land which is near and about thisssil-
lage consists of gently rolling and level sur
face. You can easily pull a binder or any
heavy agricultural implement, which general
ly requires four or five horses. with Two
horses. There are many hundreds of acres OF
such land which spreads forth like the much
spoken of western Prairie.
They who seek scenery may find it of gran
deur and sublimity in this state and county.

Four Terms of School.

MEssRs. EDIroRs II am heartily in favor
of having four terms of school in the public
schools Of Carroll county, and | am highly
gratified at the favorable opinions expressed
by the previous writer's on this important sub
iect. It is true, our free school system has its
shortcomings and defects; but, taken as a
whole, it is the best ever organized. How
can these defects be remedied? Give the
country pupil the same privileges as the town
people-that of four terms of school, and an
increase in the compensation Of teachers, so
we. as teachers, can stand on an equal foot
ing with those of Frederick, Washington, and
other counties of the state. Owing to the
lack of wages many teachers are deprived OF
possessing good reading matter, where as II
they were receiving ample pay, they could
equip themselves with professional lteratures
which would help them to fight the battles
against ignorance, and thus attain more
general and professional information.
It's lust as urgent and necessary TO the
the teacher to supply himself with reading
material as it is for the farmer, who crops his
field year after year, to return something IN
the shane of fertilizers. IL is self-evident,
that the three-term system, and the wages
paid, are not sufficient to maintain man s
family. hence it does not pay well enough to
make it a profession. The true and tried
teachers of this county deserve all praise, and
they have my hearty thanks for their cor
dial support and cooperation on all question
heretofore existing. | trust we shall have
their aid and encouragement again. Many
of You, my fellow-teachers, am proud 10
say, are credit to the county and an honor
10 the profession. Your success and welfare
are ever near my heart. Year after year you
toll on amid dscouragements and TRIALS sum
