Does the violation of the seventh
commandment qualify woman to be-
come teacher of manners and morals?
When men by reason of their wealth de-
fy the laws of the land, and because of
their adulterous practices are divorced
and forbidden to remarry, yet trample
under foot all decency, despoil the in
tegrity of the family and strike at the
foundations of society and defy the
moral sense of the community by marry
ing one who is silly enough to sacrifice
her virtue on the alter of lust. it is time
for society to let such feel its displeas-
ure, and if it Is sensitive to right and
wrong it will repudiate the woman who
thus surrenders herself to one judicially
unfit to marry again. 1t will rebuke
also the empty pated mother and fool
father who connlved at it, for the sake
of money and position, and especially
will it rebuke the vain goddess concubine
the polluted social barnacle. who
through her doubles his own offence.
Decent, moral, christian society
should consign such to oblivion and let
them rest under the blighting perpetual
stigma of an outraged society.
This condition of things socially is the
legitimate result of the style of dress
ing that characterizes so much of our
Social High Life.
The kind of dressing adopted by some
of our women in the social functions
Is disgrace, a slur on decency; a
travesty on virtue. 1t ought to bring a
blush of shame to the cheeks of woman
hood. The low neck and short sleeves
and perforated stockings and thin skirts
in warm weather all combine to work
evil, which if unchecked results dis
astrouslY. Cards, dances, shows, some
of them decidedly lascivous, corrupt the
mind, debase the morals and suggest
thoughts that lead to sensuality and
eventually to destruction of virtue and
morals.
The fearful thing too, is the promi-
nent part that protesting christians
play in this thing.
Society in its present condition needs
the reforming influences of christianity,
the elevating power Of grace, and the
sweetness and sanctifying tendencies
of Him who honored it by his presence
in Galilee, and gave it a divine touch,
an: exampIe-the imitation of which
will elevate and purify it and make 1T
fit place for the Angels CT Light, but
it will put the ban forever on the
presence and influence of the angels of
darkness. Perilous times socially are
surely upon US.

separate tracts and a great number
of Military Lots" tracts and lots
making an aggregate approximating
fifty thousand acres Of mountain ard
glade lands, that the Governor became
so heavily involved in debt as to induce
him, after reservation of four hundred
and ten acres. embraced in the generally
known Frankville home under the name
of Polo Alto, to sell the entire remain
ing part of this princely holdings to
General Joseph R. Anderson, of Rich
mond Virginia, who was not only
kinsman but most ardent admlrer of
Gov. Thomas and, after an interval of
some fifteen years, this large purchase
of timbered land. eyentuated in the
coming of the undersigned to Garrett
county, in the year 1873, as the personal
representative of General Anderson and
of consequent contact with Governor
Thomas.
When the star of tn Governors
widening future was in it's, apparently
/ assured ascendancy, Virginia's COM
handing septre in the slster-hood of
states had not departed from her, and
at so ausplcious period, his marriage
alliance with the accomplished daughter
of Governor Mcdowell of the "Old
Dominion, bringing to the support of
/ his political ambition one of the best
founded and most influential families of
Virginia, the way to the presidency was
in view. But an unseen folly robbed
fortune of her fruits. In blind passion
of insane jealousy, like Othelo, he threw
away the jewel worth all things else
and, stripped of his plumage he fell in
his flight, destined victim of an end
less disappointment. The one aspira-
ton now remaining as a distinct ele-
ment IN that altered mind, was to get
beyond the foot fall of moving humanity,
into quiet that would have been a
prison, before blow from a pitiless
decree
One night, deep IN the mountains,
this writer picked up a pamphlet,
yellowed by age, and found it to be an
address by Gov. Thomas to the people
of Maryla nd, vindicating his stand in a
preceding for divorce. This printed
address was read with growing IA
terest to the last page, which in ssAs
way had been detached and lost. ~
feelings were so keenly stirred by the
intensity of the authors language as to
compel acceptance of his suspicious and
his charges. Returning the next even
ing from survey to the same house,
the pamphlet was again but more
guardely read, and then not one alega-
ton impressed one as being equal either
to the test of logic or the application of
dispassionate weighing.
The opinion was current that the
Governor bitterly regretted this publica-
ton and did all he could to gather every
copy of the issuance.

A compactiy constructed and en-
gaginglY phrased review of the unhappy
yet not inglorious career of this gifted
Marylander lately printed in your COL
umns, lessen such faint excuse as may
have existed for this burden upon the
reading public. An earnest avowal is
here registered against even the slight
est pretention IN these mentions of any
biographical production or pretended
tracings of the occurrences of life so
deserving of intelligent study and of
the closest accumulation of facts. The
purpose here is to reproduce some of
the striking features noted in a brief
acquaintance with this remarkable per-
sonage late in the evening of a long
life; to catch some of the sun-beams
falling through the clouds. and to re-
vive some of the sayings that came to
me from respected sources. with the
hope that some part of such charm of
personality and brillancy of mind may
be rescued from oblivion.
Likely little investigation will make
clear to you that the above mentioned
published article was in error in its
statement that Governor Thomas was
a Democrat. He was not of the type
of men concealing their attitude upon
public policies. Though a son of the
! South, when the war of 1S6l-1865 call
ed the divided sections to arms, he
stood upon the Federal side of that
fierce conflict and gave unchanging ad-
| herence to the administration # Presi-
dent Lincoln. After the triumph of the
| Union armies. he received from Presi-
dent Grant appointment Of Plenipoten-

George Oester, an employe at the
home of S. c. Loechel, near the Mason
and Dixon line, had painful expert
ence last week from which he has not
yet recovered. Mr.. Oester was in
dulging in the luxury of a yawn when
his jaws became unhinged and to his
dismay he found himself unable to
close them again. A physician was
hastily summoned from the village who,
finding himself unable to administer
ether and perform the operation alone,
sent in a hurry call for the other
physician and the two, after hard work,
restored the sufferers jaws to their
normal position. Mr.. Oester is a
son of Conrad Oester of the Cove and
has been in the employ of Mr.. Loechel
for some time, being quiet industrious
young man. Owing to the severe shock
and unavoidable laceration of the young
mans mouth, which causes him much
pain, he has gone to his home for a few
weeks until recovered from his painful
misadventure.
