BRIEF MENTIONING.
—As love thinks no evil, so envy
speaks no good.
—He that fails to-day may be up
again tomorrow.
—ldle curiosity has just such brains
as the young crow and the jackdaw
has.
—Ease is a difficult thing to couiw
terfeit; it is as treacherous as a tigtft
boot.
—We detest vanity in others, be*
cause we have so much of it our
selves.
—The College boys will not play
the Naval cadets this afternoon—
cause—two members of the college
nine disabled.
—Dr. Pinkard’s original Compound
Syrup of Blackberry, for Diarrhea, Sum
mer Complaint, Colic, &c., at George Rull
tnan’s City Drug store, 25cts.
—Here is a veiy serious question
for our moralists. If a man is as
good as his word, and his word is
good for nothing, how good is he?
—Cutting off a hen’s head, will
it make her a chicken ? There is no
other way to account for the fact
that broiled hens are never found on
restaurant bills of fare.
Komettilnff New,
There came to our notice today
“Cram’s Atlas of the World,” a hand
somely bound book entirely new and
remarkable for its complete maps and
almost unlimited amount of statisti
cal information. It is a complete
library in itself, a historic and
geographical dictionary of the world,
containing diagrams of public buil
dings, latest postal information and
key to the holy land. Beside various
other information. Every lover of
knowledge should have a copy of this
Atlas.

Board of Visitors*
The Naval Academy authorities
received the Board of Visitors today
at ten o’clock. The ceremonies were
the usual ones observed on these oc
casions. At the appointed hour the
heads of the departments, their as
sistants and other oliicers, in full
dress uniforms, consisting of navy
blue coats and vest*, cocked Lats,
belts and buttons, dashed with gold
and twist, assembled in the main
room of the Library. Shortly after
the Board of Visitors appeared, and
the oflicers and professors were intro
duced to them in the order of their
rank.
This over, the board left the library,
interspersed with and followed by
the officers; and proceeded up the
main avenue to the parade ground,
where the marines, under Capt. Til
ton presented arms, and the Santee
performed its part of the royal wel
come by a salvo of great guns.
Arrived at the parade ground the
battalion of cadets, under Ensign
Pullman, passed in review and made
numerous fine exhibitions. The in
structors in the departments of sea
manship, ordnance and gunnery, nav
igation, steam engineering, physic
and chemistry, repaired to the build
ings of their respective departments
and explained when visitors ar
rived whatever was of interest to
them. The academic board accom
panied the visitors in the inspection
of buildings. •

Non-Sectarian.
The festival to be given at the As
sembly Rooms on Tuesday evening,
is under the supervision of a commit-,
tee of ladies known as the “Ladies
Organization to Aid the Fire Engine
Fund,” is strictly a non-sectarian
affair. The ladies of the different
churches constitute this organization,
and have united in this worthy cause.
The receipts will be handed over to
the bonded treasurer, Mr. W. I).
Basil, and the engine is for no special
company, but for the city generally.
We sincerely hope the public will
come forward in this matter and aid
this cause. It is for your personal
interest to do so, as well as for the
interest you may have in the city in
which you reside. We urge you to
exert your influence in waking up
the people to the cause of this long
needed engine. Each one has his ;
own work to do in his. particular
! sphere, let him dc it with a will and
, great good will be accomplished.

[Correspondence of the Evening Capital.]
LRTTER FROM TALBOT CO.
Talbot Co., Md„ May 28th, 1884.
Mr . Editor :
We note, with pleasure, the receipt
of the several copies of your spicy
little paper, the Evening Capital,
which you kindly sent across the bay
to various friends in your native
county of Talbot. All who have
seen the Capital speak in its praise.
I therefore bespeak for it a wide circu
lation. You can count me in as a
subscriber. Your friends in the “an
cient city,” and also in the old coun
ty of Anne Arundel, will no doubt
stand by you in this worthy attempt
upon your part to give them are in
dependent and reliable newspaper;
and as a business enterprise it must
succeed.
If not trespassing too much upon
your valuable space, I will add in this
connection, that the growing crops in
this section are well advanced, con
sidering the cold and backward spring.
Fruits of all kinds will be abundant ;
the wheat crops this season, will not
as a general thing, attain to a heavy
growth of straw, by reason of the
comparatively dry April and May; but
lam glad to say an average crop of
wheat may be expected if the next
four week are at all favorable. The
corn crop is now well under way and
,growing splendidly. Indeed I may
say the citizens of this county are a
highly favured people in all respects;
every thing needful for the happiness
of man, socially and otherwise, is
within easy reach; the beautiful Chop
tank and its tributaries, coming almost
to every man’s door, furnishing all the
! salt water luxuries, adds, in a large
j degree, to the attractiveness and
j beauty of our county, which very few
j sections possess. The attractions re
j ferred to, doubtlegs are the cause of
j so many strangers coming here to set
tle ; the majority of whom are a ,
worthy class of people, and we bid
them a hearty welcome. There is
plenty of room and we invite them still
to come.
The Circuit Court here closed its
session on Saturday afte.'.sitting only
one week—the shortest term we have
probably ever bad. Fearing I have
already taken up too much of your
space, I will say byway of conclusion
that you have the best wishes of our
people for your success. T.
