An Historic Little Desk.

The original copy of the Declaration of In
dependence is practically gone, but the little
desk on which the precious manuscript was
drafted is almost as fresh as on the day it was
made more than century and quarter ago.
1t, too, lodges in the state department, having
been presented to the Nation by the heirs of
Joseph Coolidge, and transmitted to Congress
by President r. B. Hayes, with a special mes
sage in 1878.
The desk" is box about three inches high
and sixteen long, opening by ingenious drawers
and slides and folding props. 1t is beautifully
made ION honor" as befitted the use to which
it was put.

power. Among their suggestions was the
legend adopted, "E Pluribus Unum,n a phrase
which had served as a motto on the cover of
the Gentleman Magazine for many years. and
which was originally borrowed from Virgil.
1t is appropriate, therefore, that the United
States coat of arms bearing this seal should
accompany the drawing of the Jefferson desk.
"All passes. Art alone
Enduring stays to us;
The bust outlasts the throne
The coin, Tiberius,'
sings Gautier. May this historic and art istic
little desk, like the statue and the coin, be
cherished from age to age as token of the
fathers who begot this Nation, and of our
Magma Charta which lives on unfading in the
hearts of q sovereign people.

The Bank Got Left This Time.-A dis
patch from Frederick, Md, says: The jury
in the suit of Francis T. Lakin vs.. the Old
Town Bank of Baltimore, to recover on an
alleged promissory note growing out of the
transactions of the Milk Producers Associa-
ton of Baltimore, rendered verdict for Mr..
Lakin.
Judge Motter, in instructing the jury said :
If you should find from the testimony that
the bank received the note as security with
knowledge of the fact that the notes were to
be paid by per cent. being deducted from the
amount received by the farmers for their milk
and cream, your verdict must be for the appel
liant; but if you should find the note was &C
cepted in good faith, your verdict should be
for the bank,'n

Costly Business to Kill Song Birds-The
State law regarding the killing of song birds
without special license was upheld at the North
ern Police Court in Baltimore, on Tuesday,
when John NJ. Somers, aged % years, residing
on the Old York road, near Wyanoke avenue,
was fined SIS and costs upon the charge Of
having shot and stuffed IS song birds. The
case was prosecuted by the Maryland Game
and Fish Association through Deputy War
dens Harry Malcolm and Charles H. Whit
aker. The association has been at work upon
the case some weeks collecting evidence, while
from the inhabitants of the neighborhood
about the wanton slaughter of the feathery
songsters. Song birds may be killed for scien-
tifc purposes if license has previously been
obtained. Young Somers, who is skillful
amateur taxidermist, commended that he shot
the birds for the purpose of pathological
study, and that he had some time before made
application for a license, which, however, he
had never received. Justice White made the
fine 81 for each bird.

An Historic Old erist Mill Burned.

An Historic Old Grist Mill Burned
Heavy Loss.--The historic old Willow"
Mill, which has stood on the banks of West
ern run, about four miles northwest from
Cockeysville for over half century and which
was recently purchased by Messrs. Holland &
O'Neal, was totally destroyed by fire about mid
night last Saturday. The fire broke out after
the mill had been shut down, from some I'M
known cause and, the flames progressing rap
idly, the building was soon burned to the
ground. There are some who believe that the
mill was struck by lightning during the storm
which ragged in that locality early in the even.
ing and that the flames smouldered and broke
out after work was stopped in the building.
The contents of the mill, which included
valuable machinery, a large quantity of
wheat, feed and honr and 10000 paper -four
bags, were also destroyed. The mill was in
charge of Mr. Ernest Ensor miller, who stopped
work shortly before midnight on Saturday.
The fire was discovered by Mr.. O'Neal, who
was awakened by the quacking of some ducks
in the mill-race. Looking out of a window of
his house, which is near the mill, he saw the
flames. A part of the roof had then fallen in.
Hurriedly dressing he went to the mill and
succeeded in saving the books and papers of
the firm. The mill was built by the late
Thomas II. Matthews and for many years was
operated by him.
The mill was four stories high and about 60
by 100 feet in size. 1t was solidly built of
stone and bore all of the evidences of the old
time stable construction of former period.
Messrs. Holland & O'Neal came to Maryland
from Missouri and equipped the mill with the
most modern machinery. They did rushing
business and considerable flour was being
shipped to Northern and Western points by
them.
The loss on the building, machinery and the
contents will approximate Sl5,0 00 The mill
served to large section of country and its de-
struction will prove quite loss to the farmers
of that neighborhood.
The mill was insured in the Millers' Nation
al Insurance Company of Chicago for $4,000
and the Michigan Millers' Mutual Insurance
Company for SO, 000

Nose Turned Red After Dream.-A GER
tain pastor of Baltimore county has been a
target for much raillery of late owing to the
suspicious redness of his nose, which pointedly
suggests overindulgence in intoxicants. So
frequently is the peculiar hue of his olfactory
organ commented upon that he has ceased to
never partakes of stimulants. and yet the only
explanation which he is able to give of the
carmine tint of his proboscis is by no means
satisfying and serves only to provoke smiles
plainly expressive of incredulity. In fact, the
explanation does not explain at all, being in
effect that not long ago he dreamed he was in
a saloon and he awoke on the following morn
ing to find that his nasal appendage had
changed color. He has since then been kept
busy denying emphatically that he departed
even in slight degree from his rigid rule of
total abstinence and finds solace in clear con-
science-OGd Tales, in Baltimore San.

A Pleasant Trip to Washington, D. c.
On Saturday, September 9Th. representative
party of men from Convention, Baltimore
county, went to Washington by way of the B.
q o. Railroad They visited the Capitol,
where some of them expressed determination
to some day fill one of the chairs of either the
House of.Representatives or the Senate.
Next the Botanical Garden was gone over,
where the planting and bedding were inspected
by the critical eyes of some of the party and
Judgment passed thereon. A large bed of
bananas, with fruit, came in for its share of
interest.
The Fishery, the Smithsonian, and the
National Museum were all carefully inspected.
The product of the farm, garden and orchard,
as exhibited by the Agricultural Department,
of Engraving and Printing, where it was seen
how easy it is to make money if fellow only
had the right kind of a machine.
Some wanted to go to the top of Washing
ton Monument. as they were under the i'm
preston that they might not have another
chance to get that near heaven.
The Treasury Building, with its piles Of
money, gave some of the party trouble to keep
their eyes in their sockets.
AS the President had been notified of the in
tended visit he was not at home to receive us.
Other places of interest were visited includ-
ing the Geological Garden, where many strange
and interesting animals were seen. Two of
the younger men saw two that were really
fascinating.
On leaving a hotel it was found that one of
the party had filled his pocket with loaf sugar,
fried potatoes &C., preparing for another day,
no doubt.
The only thing that happened to mar the
pleasure of the day was in the railroad COM
pany not keeping its promise to stop an early
express which would have landed the visitors
at their destination three hours earlier.
Those in the party were George Pugh
George b. Sterling, Harry Knight. Clarence
Bevans, Thomas A. Vincent, George Groscup
Gill Smith, George Myers, VIM. Richardson,
R. A. Vincent and William Sterling.
