THE BUZZARD AND THE BEE.

The buzzard has strong beak, a
capacious stomach and a ravenous
appetite. 1t is a graceful bird soar
ing sometimes above that of its
neighbors Of the feathery tribe, but it
is always in quest of something to
feed upon. Its eye is sharp, its scent
is keen, but all of its energies are bent
in one direction, and it is very dis
eliminating in it's taste-in fact it re-
vels in carrion while it lives, and
when it dies leaves ONLY foul odor
to remind the world of it's existence.
1t is very sordid in its ambitions and
while possibly it hasits usefulness as
a scavenger, yet its memory is not
perpetuated by the MUSES. in song
and verse. 1t is nothing but buz-
card, lover of foul things.

LEGISLATIVE NOTES.

On Tuesday Senator Thomas H,
Robinson introduced the Congress
sional Re-districting bill. The First
Congressional District will contain
the counties of Worcester, Somerset,
Dorchester, Talbot, Queen Anne,
Caroline, Kent and Cecil with a
population of 1876, 1884. The Second
Congressional District will consist OF
counties of Baltimore, Hartford, Car
roll and the twelfth and thirteenth
wards of Baltimore City, with a
population of 1919, 455. The Third
Congressional District will be wards
numbers one, two, three, four, five,
six, seven, eight, eighteen and twenty
two of Baltimore and will contain
199,3O2. The Fourth Congressional
District will contain wards nine, ten,
eleven, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seven
teen, eighteen, nineteen and twenty
with population of 197,748. The
fifth Congressional District will have
the counties of st. Mary's, Charles,
Calvert, Prince Georges, Anne Arun-
del, Howard, five precincts of the
eighteenth ward, twenty first,
twenty third and twenty fourth
wards of, Baltimore City with a popu-
lation of 199,3O2. The Sixth Con-
gressional District will consist of the
counties of Garrett, Allegheny, Wash
ington, Frederick and Montgomery,
with population of 1885, 99. The
congressional apportionment is one
representative to 193,291. The d.
vision therefor is as near that as pos
sible. All the districts are more or
less affected as to their territory by
this bill except the sixth, which re-
mains as it is. The first district is
made more strongly Democratic by
putting Cecil county in with the
other counties of the Eastern Shore.
DR.. w. Herring, Democratic candi-
date for Comptroller, carried all nine
of the counties at the last election.
The bill, to resubmit the local option
question in Hartford county, has been
passed by the State Senate and it is
now up to the House to say what
shall be done with the measure.
The bill, to amend the charter of
the City of Havre de Grace, has been
favorably reported in the House.
The Six Tickets for a Quarter Bill
was killed in the House of Delegates
on Tuesday.
The finance committee ofthe Senate
has reported favorably, a bill ar
ranging a different method of dis
tributing the free school book fund.
1t requires a distribution among the
counties and State according to the
enrolment of pupils. At present, it

blossoms and lives amid the perfume
of flowers. Its habits set an example
of industry, patience and frugality.
1t fares we'll, and in addition to max
ing its own living, leaves storehouse
full of honey to attest the sweetness
of its active little life.
Nothing could be in more dis
similar than a buzzard and a bee
yet how frequently do we find these
two spirits shown in the human race.
In daily life we see around us those
who revel only in disagreeable things;
their whole life, ambition and aim
is directed towards accumulating
that which is offensive to the race to
which they belong. The buzzard
nature sometimes crops out in the
shape of the love OF scandal. We
frequently find persons whose whole
life seems to be made up in gloating
over the misfortunes and shortcom-
ings of others. In their quest for
scandal they will pass over the many
good deeds that go to make up the
life of the average human being, to
seek out some shortcoming that
would make them morsel ofgossip.
Sometimes in all our lives there are
little things which for reasons best
known to ourselves, we do not care
to explain the why and wherefor.
On these the human buzzard preys
with particular delight. The trend
of modern journalism seems also to
be going in this direction. There are
newspapers who publish nothing
showing the goodness that there is
in mankind but prefer to entertain
their readers by filling their columns
with the shortcomings oftheir fellow
men. Should the universities of life
overtake some poor individual il
gives special delight to dilate and re
vel in the private affairs about which
charity at least would suggest silence
In marked contrast-and may the
swarm increase, are those who fine
pleasure in useful toll and helpfulness
They extract good from life and leave
as legacy to posterity more gooe
than they themselves consume. They
seek the honey of life amid the SHARP
thorns of the roses and drawing theil
fill of sweetness not to satisfy theil
individual happiness, but to store il
where it can be used to make some
one else happy. As bees can honey
find in each flower so these mortal'
find something good in everyone
They are seeking only the good thing
of life and never is their quest in vain
for, no matter how lowly or how
fallen the subject, there is yet SOM
good trait that these honey-seeker
can bring to the surface and use i
again to show that there is mucl
that is high and noble in the human
race. Unfortunately this class o
people receive too little substantial
encouragement-fortunatelyt they re
quire none. Their own work is al
the reward that they are seeking ant
they care not for the plaudits of tn
world. When at last, Father Tim
nips the tender thread Of life they cal
lay down, conscious in the though
that they have done what good they
could.
Life is made up largely ofthese two
characters. We find them in on
daily walks and the heart uncon
sciously goes out in a single bound il
sympathy with the good work O
honey gatherer. Let US all bear Ii
mind the marked contrast-one i
greed and sel6shness; the other i
pleasure and happiness.

general law covering the whole State,
and instead of private cars and COM

conductors of all railroad companies
running in the State of Maryland to
designate separate seats for white
and colored passengers. No white
person shall be permitted to force
himself into a seat designated and
occupied by a colored person and
no colored person shall force himself
into a seat designated and occupied
by white person. The conductors
and managers OF all railroads are re-
quired to assign to each white or
colored person a seat and should any
passenger refuse to take the seat to
which he may be assigned, conductor
or manager shall have the right to
refuse to carry such passenger on his
train and may put him off. Any
passenger refusing to occupy the
designated seat shall be guilty of a
misdemeanor and shall be fined or
imprisoned. When the seats are all
occupied but not filled and the in
creased number of passengers can be
