The really mystifying fact belonging to
this style of painting is, that such persons
as devote 'hemselves to it do not paint to
deceive. No one can be in the neighbor-
hood of such face and not know that it
is painted. Nobody ever preiends that
people are stippled blue by nature. IL is
not, then, done to deceive, but because,
on deliberalion, art is preferred to nature.
Some womer would rather be artificial
than real. Can there be- anything ia this

chronicled and kept. Let the deed be
considered and pronounced upon. We

The bill to amend the charter and extend the
tlme Tor the completion of our railroad was not
disposed of by the State Senate last Friday as
We had anticipated, that body having then de-
ferred Its action until yesterday, when il came
up as the order of the day at O'Clock. Ar
pretending, therefore, that some little misaI,
prehension or ignorance may still exist here IS
TO the real objects and intentions of the COM
pany, We bespeak the attention of our readers
once more 10 the matter The necessity for an
extension OF the time TO complete the road win
surprise no one who is at all familiar with the
dlfhculties that have beset the contractors here
IN TINS county during the past year. Every cit
zen mas shared a mutual anxiety that this might
be promptly accorded by the Legislature and not
only further time, but larger powers, to enable
1ne I work to be prosecuted more vigorously.
The nth section, therefore, re-enacts fhe
twelfth section of the original charter author
lzing the condemnation Of land and material for
the use OF the road by jury of finquisition. This
jury Is now allowed to take into consideration
as an Offset to the disadvantages any benefits or
advantages which may accrue to the land
owner, but in other respects its powers are un-
cnangeG' Inc jury is to condemn the land or
material always before the company can enter or
use 1t, and we can find no authority anywhere i'm
this bill to authorize the damage to be done first
and assessed afterwards. Except in the assess
ment Of advantages and benefits, the whole
matter Of the condemnation of land and material
is now as it existed in the original charter
Inc only other section of the bill which has been
crlticiZed is the 9TH, which allows the company
additional compensation for TRANSPORTATION
through the tunnel at Baltimore, owing TO the
eApensivenses OF that portion of the work
The great advantages of a tunnel under the
city have been frequently admitted by every
paper in Baltimore. That il is a stupendous
undertaking everybody can at once see, and vet
our roac proposes to effect it. and will do IN by
the time required. 1t is but just that il should
be allowed to charge remunerative fare and
freight through IL when completed. and we am
Frehend that the General Assembly win not
hesitate to afford the authority.


When our road was first chartered every effort
was made to get the citizens of the State to build
IT. AS late as 1850 the Baltimore and Ohio Com
pany seemed desirous to aid US, and obtained
then the sanction Of the State to do so WHY IL
never exercised it, and why our road has been
SO long being built, is a matter we do not care
now 70 discuss. Sufficient that we have at
lehgtn found friends disposed to aid us, and we
own State, those who would so illiberally criti-
cize our very moderate and just demands. Up
10 tAe hour OF going to press we are without ad-
vices from Annapolis, but we cannot doubt that
the Senate will pass the bill as reported without
alteration or diminution.-Prinee Georgian, 1lh

On last Sunday morning, at about 2
o clock. the large new saw and Touring
mill recently erected by Messrs. J. Mann
& Co, in the town of Gibson, was discov-
cred on FIRE, and all efforts to save it
were useless. The mill, it will be re-
membered, was erected last summer, and
had been in running order but week or
two. There seems to be no doubt in the
minds of all who are acquainted with the
affair that the ruin wrought was the
work of incendiarism, as the FIRE broke
out in the LETT of the mill, where no
workmen had been and even if spark
from pipe had been dropped at or just
previous to the time of leaying the mill
Is o 'clock) the fire would surely have
been discovered before two O'Clock the
next morning The mill cost $4,000
on which there was not cent Of insur-
ance so the whole is total loss. Messrs.
J. Mann & Co.,-Belky and Nathan
Winters were the owners, and all of them,
the two last named gentlemen especially,
will feel the loss severely. The building
was an unusually good one, and the
machinery in both departments the best
that could be procured Like in the
case of the Woolen Mills. the fire was
discovered at the dead hour of night
and no trace of its origin was discovered.

were both careful J measured and the
result shows that two hundred and

The field was green sward turned

the burrows were spread four cords of
barnyard manure to the acre, and
this was narrowed in and the soil

row. The hills were three feet apart
and into them at planting was placed
handful of 'bens and ashes," mix

earth, and upon it Eve kernels of corn
were dropped.


We attribute the success of the
crop to the fall plowing manure which
held the liquid excrement of the ami
mails through spring pulvsrization of
the soil, applying the manure to the
surface. and the use of bone and ash
mixture. We believe the influence
of this fertilizer was very essential
in the production of the crop. The
cost of the corn per bushel, including
in the estimate onc-half Of the cost
Of the fertilizers, is forty
five cents. This does not take into
account the fodder, which, in our
view, has high value. The mark

WEST VIRGINIA A BOGUS SrArE.-The posi-.
tion of West Virginia is ia peculiar one, and
one that some day will have to be settled by
tie Supreme Court of the United States.
MACK" the Washington correspondent of
tie Cincinnati Enquirer, discourses upon this
subject rs follows:


at does not seem to have occurred to the
radicals during tine recent discussion that
they were making case under which the Su-
preme Court cannot help deciding that West
Virginia is bogus State. Either that or the
reconstruction of Old Virginia is humbug.
The Constitution distinctly declares that no
State shall be divided without it's own con-
sent. According to the terms of reconstruc-
ton Virginia has had no existence rs State
since 1861. If so, she cannot have consented
to the division Of her territory, and if she did
not so consent, West Virginia has no consti-
tutional right to recognition as State. This,
however, is only one of what Mr.. Sumner
would call the constitutional ridiculosities'
of reconstruction-aud by no means the most
important of them either. The whole thing
is "ridiculosity,' which must be set at
neught one of these days by some means or
other. just exactly how it will be done it is
not worth while to discuss till the power to
do it is first given. But there can be no
question in the mind of any reasonable man,
that the whole fabric of usurpatioa which has
been erected by the radical party in the last
five years, will one day be torn down."

THE HEART OF A TURTLE fouND IN IIEN's
Ece.-We have just heard of one Of the most
wonderful freaks of nature it has ever been
our lot to record. Ii seems that one day last
summer little girl. living in Beaver street,
was down near the Island creek, playing with
one of her mates, when she discovered very
small turtle of the land species. Thinking it
would he nice to have the she'll for plaything
the child picked it up, and carried it home
and gave it to her mother, who first cut off the
turtles head and then proceeded to pick it
out of the she'll in pieces. After awhile the
heart WAS taken out, and excited no little Gu
rosity from the fact that it was beating still,
although some time had elapsed since the tur-
ties life was sunnosed to be ended by taking
off his head. Wishing to experiment. little
and see just how much life there was in tar
ties heart outside his shell, the mother pierced
it with a needle, and in this condition it
showed ire for four and a half days, when it
was thrown out in the back yard, and finally
disposed of by being swallowed whole by an
old gray hen, which. with few other fowls,
were kept as sort of pets for the children.


Not many days after the heart had been
thrown awav, and all recollection of it had
vanished. old gray ''biddy" took it into her
bead to lay an egg. And now comes the
marvellous part of the transaction. Having
occasion to use an egg next morning, to set
tie the coffee, the mother took ''biddy's" egg.
opened it. and in the very centre Of it. instead
of the yolk. she found the rery identical heart
which had been throwa away previously, and
in az perfect condition as ever. She could
hardly believe her eyes, and so she called her
husband and children, all of whom were sat-
isfed that it was the same heart, as the needle
punctures were still plainly visible.-Tfoy,
