The Judges Black Philosopher.

''As I was going home the other day passed one-armed negro man who was digging a ditch, and I did not recall sec ing any man apparently so free from care and so filled with philosophic content" said Hon. John c. Carmichael. the dis pher as well as a scholar and wise judge.
 This black philosopher-toiler was llt- erally down In the ditch, digging away as for dear life and singing some quaint and lively song of his race. One of his arms had been cut off between the elbow and the shoulder-jo joint. Were it not that dexterity would be a misnomer, I'd say that the man used his stump of an arm with remarkable dexterity in assisting his one entire arm in its work. With his one hand he'd lift his pick and then by some clever trick which couldn't quite under stand he'd bring the stump into action with so much advantage that he was do- ing more good work in digging the ditch than any other ditcher whom I remember to have observed
 Happiness being so essentially spirit ual quality. I'd perhaps be wrong to say that this one-armed negro ditcher was happy. but as for contentment, freedom from care-I never saw more contented, a more care-free man.
 "On my way home, after I had passed him, I reflected long upon this unknown black man, Ignorant of every art of learn ing, and it occurred to me that he had learned that supreme lesson which rbt

In these days when the fret and folly of self-constituted leaders who are blind lend new burdens to honest hearts, most of us who seek to keep to the noiseless tenor of our ways in the ''sequestered vale of life,' are prone to cry out against the conditions of society which subject us to the needless annoyances of sham and all manner of quackery.
 Even as gnat, so small that the hu- man eye can scarce see it, may disturb the meditation of a philosopher and rob the world of a great thought, so also noisy and impertinent manikins of both sexes amounting to nothing more than trouble of ants in the gleam of mill lion million of suns,' may change the current of the happy thoughts of the happy and put something akin to murder In the hearts of the innocent and unof- lending.
 It Is day of a few great things and a world of small. With the great we need not concern ourselves. The vulgar porkbutcher or soapboiler, grown mighty and more vulgar by the degrading power of peif robbed of honest toll, may live in barbaric splendor and besotted lux ury, Haunting the garish escutcheon of his damned dollars in the very face of decency; but there Is no law requiring us to look at him or the hideous evidences of his riches, or to touch the slobbering that Is daily offered by the journals.
 The inherently great we may not see; the money monarchs we may not heed.
 Money are power and I Is got it. the noxious boast of the newly rich, Is lit- orally, absolutely true; but most of us need but moderate means. and we wouldn't accept power if 1t were offered us without seeking.
 Praise God. in this country boys do not dream of the Presidency and girls do not care the snap of their white little fingers for the veneered splendor of the White House. The time for that character of longing and signing is past. The Pres idency is too vast in it's greatness and the winning of it too nearly impossible in the mysterious lottery of human chance.
 The Murmurer, pleading now and al- ways for everyday women and men, maidens and youths and little children, pleads that no ambition is wise or en- tirely worthy which does not confine itself to the sphere of worthy and happy

r. und Her Son.

Mrs. r. @. Harmon, of Portland,
Me-, reached Leonardtown Sunday
last per Weems steamer searching
for her son, Harry T. Harmon, who
had shipped from Baltimore on a
dredge boat. Mrs. Harmon had re-
ceived letter stating that her son
was on the schooner William Stevens,
L. Webster Chase, captain. Imme-
diately upon her arrival in our town
she began perfecting arrangements
to go to NewtOwn and hunt for the
vessel. Accompanied by several of
the young men of the vicinity she
set out about Z, p. m, and soon
reached the harbor. She was in
formed that the Stevens was there
at anchor and with Capt. Harrison
Ewell, Benz. Combs and Dan Guy
boarded the vessel. The meeting
between the mother and son was
very affecting. The young man had
no complaints TO make OF his treat
ment while on board the vessel, aud
did not know how he came to ship.
He remembered taking a car in New
York and his next recollection was
, finding himself on dredge boat in
Chesapeake Bay. Mr.. Harmon is a
civil engineer and was lieutenant of
engineers in the Spanish American
war. During his service in the ar
my, Mr. Harmon contracted typhoid
and his mind was affected. He stat
ed that he did not regret his expert
ence as a dredger for he believed it
had greatly benefited his mind and
general health. His residence is
/ . f. ii ST., New York City. Moth
er and son left for home Monday

A Serious Runaway.

On Sunday, the 18th, instant,
while Misses Ethel Canter and Lucie
Chesley were returning from All
Faith Church, on their way down
'Woodburn : dill, they were thrown
from their buggy and both badly
hurt, Miss Chesley having her
shoulder dislocated and the bone of
her forearm broken, and Miss Can
ter being 50 painfully bruised that
she will likely be confined to her
bed for weeks. DIR. Morgan render
ed the necessary attention. The re-
port of the accident that has reached
us is, that the ladies were driving
a spirited horse and in going down
the hin the breeding broke and the
animal began to run and kick. To
check the horse ii was pulled up ON
the bank, when the buggy was turn
ed over, catching Miss Canter under
it and throwing Miss Chesley out.
The vehicle was demolished.
