Rayner VS.. Smith.
Baltimore. Md, Nov. IL.

Baltimore, Nd, Nov. IL.
Mrssrs. Editars:-One who does not
know Mr.. Rayner would judge from
his pronounciamentoes that the people
of Maryland are falling over each other
in their eagerness to make him Senator.
Such is not the case. however. and Mr..
Rayner will find that he is deluding no
one but himself The people are in
favor of Governor Smith and their rep
resentatives will elect him.
The people of Baltimore are astounded
at the nerve of the SIN, in attempting to
dictate to the Democrats Mr.. Rayner's
election. The San did not advocate
the election of either Democratic nomi-
nee for Senator or Member of the House
of Delegates that I can recall: it gave
special attention early in the Spring to
a reorganization of the party and from
the first day of last January till the
present has done more against the party
than for it. 1t has endeavored to &C.
cupy neutral ground but 1t leaned too
far over the Republican side of the
fence. Democrats in Baltimore City
and in every county condemned the SIN
during the campaign we have just pass
and wonder how it Can pull itself to-
geGher to undertake to dictate to the
Democrats in the Legislature whom they
shall vote for. Nearly every man elect
ed is sensible man and an intelligent
man, and will not stand for the
crack of the Suns whip.
Mr.. Rayner has not accomplished
such great things that all the wisdom,
knowledge aud virtue in the State are
embodied i'll his august person. When
in Congress he made his poses and some
very beautiful speeches, but Sid. Mudd
and Wachter have accomplished vastly
more for the State, either of them, than
Rayner did. Mr.. Rayner very justly
has the reputation of being brilliant
speaker, and he also very justly has the
reputation here Of being an indolent
man. The State wants man in the
Senate who CAN look after her interests
and the interests of the nation in the
Committee rooms as well as on the
floor of the Senate, and as an all
around man for Senator, Governor
Smith is Mr.. Raynor's superior. and his
election will be of vastly more advant-
age to the people of Maryland.

A Fox Chase.

On Election Day Mr.. William Davis
and father went fox hunting. They
succeeded in starting fox, and led him
such IA lively chase that old Reynard
took refuge i'll hollow tree. They Sc
cured him in the hollow, came to town
to vote. and fastened back to effect his
capture. They bagged him. and brought
him to town. where he was kept in cap
tivity until Tuesday morning of this
week. In the meantime, word had been
passed around that Bre'r Fox would be
turned OUT at the race track on Tuesday
morning, and at the appointed hour
quite crowd had collected to witness
the event, and to join in the chase. DR..
Tom Franklin and Jean Dennis, of Ber-
lin, were here with eight keen built,
deep-tounged hounds. while Will Davis
in the capacity of Master of Ceremonies,
was here and there, jollying one fellow,
or admonishing another to keep still
and make no noise. Ned Guthrie was
there, and it was easy to guess from the
crowd thai gathered around him, that
he had charge of the fox. The hounds
were imprisoned in an empty stable.
and as the imported thorOughbreds Of
Berlin thought themselves vastly super
ior to the mongrel puppies of Snow Hill,
they got into frequent snarls and fights.
These were promptly quelled by the
Master of Ceremonies who used his voice
and whip with equal effect. At last
every thing was declared to be in readi-
ness, and Mr.. Davis advancing to the
center of the eager onlookers called out.
"Now. gentlemen, don't you holler."
When released. Reynard did not even
captors and his prospective chasers, but
glided across the field with his peculiar
bounding gait. He cleared heap of
brush with single leap, his course be-
ing marked by the regular oscillations
of his tail above the sage. Finally he
disappeared into the woods, and specu-

half hour, the dogs were turned out land
quickly finding the trail. gave express
sion to their delight by deep and loud
tongue. Rider after rider dashed by,
with whoor and hurrah, and the chase
was on. Even the most sluggish or dis
interested spectator could not help an
exhiliration of spirits as he watched the
hunters, and heard the deep baying of
the hounds. After an exciting chase OF
two hours, Reynard took refuge in a
den on the edge Of Fairfield woods, and
the dogs were called off without moles-
ting him in his retreat. Among those
who were interested spectators, and who
followed the chase in carriage, were
Miss Katie Hammond, of Berlin. and
her friend, Mrs. West, of Philadelphia,
in charge of Mr. Sidney w. Burroughs.

great a disgust in the reader that
there has been a reaction to the oppo-

taken IN small sections, often mixed
with comments of a singularly un-
scientific and pseudo-mystical kind.
Why should not the Bible be read
as any other book Is read, for the
human nature, poetic fancy, and rich
Oriental imagery which it contains ?
Why should It not be familiar to the
minds of our children as It was in the

that if 1t were read and discussed like
