At tbe examination just concluded at Fort Munroe for appointments as Second Lieutenants in the Army, fif. teen out of the eighteen candidates were successful. It speaks well for the Naval Acad emv that the two highest on the list are graduates of that institution. Mr. H. L. Hawthorne, of the class of’B2, passed number one; and Mr s E. 13. Weeks, of the class of ’B3, number two, the difference between their averages being only four one-hun dredths. Mr. R. R. Stevens, son of Admiral T. H. Stevens, U. S. N., passed num ber seven. Mfssrs. Weeks and Stevens were under the instruction ef Prof. W. W. Fay, of the Naval Academy, several weeks before the examination. The following is a correct list of tbe successful fifteen who will be com missioned as Second Lieutenants in the Army :—R. H. Andeeaon, E. E. Benjamin, C. L. Beckhurst, A. P. Buffington, H. L.

There is nothing more es sential to a gentleman’s outfit than a becoming “crown piece,” and there is no better place in the city to get suited iu this line, than at 63 N.

Tbe following are the arrivals at the Maryland Hotel for the day:—J*. M. Brown, Jas. R. Blake, Baltimore; C. R. liar ban, N. Y.; S. R. Waters, Carroll County; M. Bannon, S. Bald win, P. H.

This inimitable company will ap pear at the Masonic Hall this evening for the second time this season. All lovers of amusement should not fail to attend. The programme is entire ly new and consists of tbe most amus ing and entertaining farces and bur lesques. The entire performance is one of continual amusement, and the great wonder is how the company can give such a variety entertainment for tbe trifling sum of 10 cents. Still Crowing. Among those who addressed the Democratic gathering at Havre de Grace on Monday, was the Hon. Geo. Colton, editor of the Maryland Re publican. Mr. Colton is like his game roosters, he is always crowing on election times, and has been doing some effectual campaign work this canvass. Naval Notes. Leiut. Henry 11. Barret has suc cessfully passed the examination for promotion from the junior grade. Lieut. James T. Smith was to-day before the naval examining board for examination for promotion. Lieui. Geo I*. Colvocoresses has been ordered to the training ship Sa ratoga, November 8. Lieut. William C. Strong, has been ordered to the Minnesota. Passed Assistant Surgeon P. A. Loyering, has been ordered to tempo rary duty at the naval dispensary, Washington. Lieut 11. G. Davenport, has been detached from the Jamestown and or dered to duty in the Hydrographic office. Lieut. R. 11. Galt, has been de tached from the Washington navy yard, 28th instant, and ordered to duty as inspector of ordnance at the Midvale steel works. The Orphans’ Court. The Orphans’ Court of this county is now engaged in requiring adminis trators and executors who have un settled estates in their hands, to make returns and close up their accounts. Some estates have been open for twenty years, and in tbe last ten years, a hundred unsettled estates ac cumulated. One of the most curious cases has been brought to light by those researches. About three years ago a gentleman by tbe name of John P. Thomas, deposited his will with the register of wills. Six months af terwards ho died. A half year after his death, his son and a Mr. Bell, a son in-law of the deceased, said to be a tobacconist on Pratt street, Balti more, came to tbe register, asked for and obtained the will, leaving a re ceipt therefor. Since then not a word has been heard of them or the will. The Court is desirous of probing this matter, but they have not been able yet to find out even in what section of this county the testator died. Circuit Court Proceedings. A short session of.the Court w r as held last night (Judge Miller on the bench,) to hear the verdict of the jury in the case of the Phipps Brothers aud Samuel Tucker, for an assault on seaman 11. 11. Bussy, of the oyster police sloop “Nannie Merry man.” A verdict of “guilty” was rendered in each case with the exception of Julius Phipps, and a fine of S2O and costs was imposed by the court in each case, with the exception of Thomas E. Phipps, who was fined $5.00. Af ter the verdict,,Court adjourned until o’clock this morning. The cases before the Court to-day were Georgianue Pcale and Henrietta Brown, both colored, were tried for keeping a desorderly house in this city; convicted. Not sentenced. Henry White wa9 convicted of theft of five dollars from Lloyd Forty whilst on an excursion last summer on the ‘Pilot Boy. Not sentenced. The witnesses not being present for the defence an order was issued against the sheriff of Balto., who had the summonses for these witnesses who live in Baltimore. Three cases of violations of the liquor law against Andrew Chaney were continued. The case of Wm. F. Potce, charged with stealing a mule from R. L. Cole,, was taken up. The prisoner, a tall, pale man, asked to make a statement. He laid all his troubles on whiskey; though be admitted that was no£excuse. He was evidently about to fare well when one of the Baltimore city officers whispered something in tbe Court’s ear, and Potee was recalled to con fess he had once been convicted of forgery. He was sentenced in the hope he would reform, to two years and six months in the peniten tiary. The State’s attorney said to the Court that he thought the mao’s conduct was due to whiskey, and Judge Smith who was presiding ad ded, coincidently, “as almost every thing is.” James Thompson is on trial for theft and receiving stolen goods. The grand jury visited the jail to day and will send in their report to morrow to the Court I PRICE ONE CENT. PHARMACY! IT; 6® T® |R. V. Goodman, DRUGGIST, \g-flr'- li For Pur Draft and flicniirnl*.

Our Friendship correspondent sends us the following from that section of the county: On Saturday last a large and en thusiastic meeting of the citizens of Friendship and adjoining neighbor hood was held at the village of Friend ship, the occasion being the raising of a Cleveland, Hendricks and Compton flag. Messrs. Geo. W. Jones, Amos Dowell and Hal Smith were masters of ceremonies and had procured a beautiful hickory pole and flag for tho occasion. After tho banner was flung to tho breeze, Mr. J. W. Gibson, of Calvert county, made a stirring speech. He reviewed the history of the several candidates and dwelt es pecially upon tho tariff question. Several other speeches were made and the meeting adjourned at a late hour, highly pleased with the success of tho occasion. The recent rain has done much good to the crops in this section, but more is greatly needed. There has been more or less sick ness in the neighborhood, mostly of a malarial order, but few deaths. W.

The day is cold and bleak; Fauvette gathers the blanket more closely around her thinly clad form and over her head as she looks down the road and discovers far away, in the direction of her own home, a cloud of dust. It is not the dust of the diligence, for that went by an hour ago; Fauvette noticed it particularly, because it was going fast. The horses were gal loping, and Baptiste was urging them on as though something were coining in pursuit. Had Baptiste been running away from that which made the clouds of dust? and was that which made the cloud the German army? Fauvette's heart stood still as this thought came to her. She knew there was war in the country, but as yet it had not come anywhere near Champvillers, which was the village where Fauvette lived. Had it come near so soon? When she left home that morning with Bebe there had been no thought of the Ger mans; had they arrived already? She looked around at Bebe, who was trying almost vainly to get some pasturage out of the stubble of the field. Then she looked again at the cloud of dust. It had lifted a little by this time, and un derneath Fanvette could see the glimmer of bayonets and the forms of horses and men. Yes, it was the German army— there could be no doubt of that. At the first thought she started to run. But where should she go? The soldiers were between her and the village; she could not leave Bebe, and Bebe would not willingly go in the opposite direc tion from home. Even if Bebe consented the soldiers would very soon overtake her. But if she staid would they not take Bebe and herself, too? of, if they let her go,would they not carry Bebe off? Fauvette's heart now*beat quick and fast The soldiers were coming rapidly nearer. Indeed, she could distinguish their faces. The man in iront on horseback was old and ugly. Could that be the Count Bismarck,she w’ondered. Fauvette crept up to Bebe’s side and laid her arm over the cow’s neck. For the first time Bebe looked up, and seeing the sol diers, gazed at them with a look of gentle surprise. Bebe was Fauvette’s special care. Fau vette's elder sister, Lucie, looked after the children, and helped the mother at home, while Fauvette brought the cow to pasture, and in these troubled times staid with it all day. At this season it was cold work, and there was little in the field for Bebe to eat. Pretty soon her task would end, and the cow would live at home with the rest of the family, hav ing better quarters, indeed, than they had themselves. Fauvette now wished that it had ended betore to day, so that she might not have met the soldiers in this exposed place. The ofiicer at the head, who, though Fauvette did not know it, was only a colonel, eyed the cow, as he rode ud. with grim satisfaction. ‘Ah!” lie exclaimed, in his own tongue, “this will make fine steaks. Leave the cow, girl, and go back to your village. No one will hurt you.” Fauvette stood still. She did not un derstand German, though she guessed at what he said. “Ach!” exclaimed the officer ‘who can speak this detestable tongue? Where is there a man who knows the French?” The colonel looked up and down the line. Several of the men appeared ready to answer, when the attention of all was attracted to a young aid-de-camp, who came galloping up the road, and de manded to know what w T as the matter. The colonel pointed to Fauvette and the cow. “I am just about to tell the girl to go home to the village and leave the cow,” he said, “but unhappily lam not ready with foreign languages. When I have something to say in French, I require help.” The young man smiled. Then turning to Fauvette, he said to her, in her own tongue: “My poor child, the colonel wishes me to tell you that you must leave tljp cow and go home. You live in the village wc have just passed, do you not?” Fauvette gazed at him calmly. She was terrible afraid, and her face was pale, but otherwise she did not show it. “Oui, monsieur,” she said; “I live in the village, and I should be glad to go back, but I cannot leave Bebe.” •The young aid dc-camp—he was little more than a boy—looked at her pitying ly. “But you must,” he said; “the colonel says so. Her eyes flashed. “What do I care for the colonel” she said. “If he kills Bebe, he must kill me too.” “Oh, he won’t kill you,” said the boy. “We don’t fight children. But he wants the cow, don't you sec.” “What does he want it for I” asked Fauvette, gravely. “Why, to eat, I suppose, ”he stam mered, not wishing to hurt her more than necessary, but yet telling the truth as from habit. “Toeat!” exclaimed Fauvette. “My Beautiful Bebe! If she was yours, would you let anybody kill her?” He looked admiringly at Bebe’s mouse colored vel vet skin and large soft eyes. “Weil, no.I wouldn't,” he said, frankly? -Well, I won't, either;” and she gj&'jL jy yJ I tyf |4|| %Jh M clasped her arms tightly around the creature's neck. The young man walked helplessly over to the colonel. “I can’t seem to per suade her, sir,” he said. 'Hie colonel laugheJ. “Oh, well then, we'll use force,” he said. Turning to his men, he ordered two of them to take the girl away from the cow. “Are you going to kill the cow the young aide-de-camp asked. “Certainly,” saia the colonel. “Pray explain to the prince the cause of the delay, and say we shall be moving di rectly.” The young man, with another look at Fauvette, turned around and rode rap idly off, while the two men, at the col onel’s direction, stepped up to the child’s side. “Come!” one of them demanded in German. Fauvette did not move. Her hold of Bebe tightened, and she looked up at the rude soldiers with defiance Hashing from her black eyes. “So!” exclaimed the man; “then I must make you.” And he proceeded, not very gently, to loosen the arms that were clinging to Bebe’s neck. Fauvette screamed loudly, while she tried to hold on, but her strength was small compared to the men's, and in a moment one of them had dragged her away, while the other was trying to pull the cow in an opposite direction. But for once Bebe’s stubbornness served her a good turn. Whether she understood their designs or not, the cow would not move one step; and when they tried to drag her, she planted her feet firmly on the ground, put down her head, and uttered a gentle but decided “Moo!” The men looked helplessly at the colonel, who was very angry. For the sake of a cow the whole detachment had been detained fifteen minutes. A less forbearing man than himself would have shot it at once. Presently the aide-de-camp would be coming up again to see whv they had not moved. “Shoot the cow!” he cried, passion ately. In order to raise his gun, Fauvette’s captor had to let her go. Quick as thought the girl rushed back, and, while the guns were pointed at her, threw her arms once more aro\ind Bebe’s neck. “Now fire!” she cried, stamping her foot; “fire and kill me too.” It was this tableau that the young man saw as he came dashing up again; the angry colonel on horseback, the soldiers leveling their guns, and the patient cow protected by the child. “Good heavens!” he cried, riding in between the soldiers and Fauvette, and making himself the target for their fire, “do you mean to kill the child?” The men, who had no wish for the business, lowered their muskets, while the lad saluted the colonel. “Here is an order from the prince,” he said, pro ducing a bit of paper, “permitting the child to take the cow back to the village. I am directed to see that it is executed.” The colonel, with an angry frown upon his face, turned away and gave the order to advance. Presently the regi ment was in motion. The dust had arisen, and, freed from her persecutors, Fauvette was left alone with the young man. The soldiers were marching by, but she did not mind them now. Bebe, too, was quite composed, and had resumed her feeding. Fauvette would never complain again that Bebe was stubborn. If Bebe had no; been stubborn to-day, where might she not be now? But Fauvette had not yet thanked the young man who was waiting on horseback by her side. “I thank you vfery much,” she said, timidly, looking up into the boy’s hand some face. “If they had killed Bebe they would have killed me too.” “Oh, they wouldn’t have done that,” he said. “Only their guns might have gone off accidentally.” 4 ‘She hesitated a moment. Yes, she said, “they might have gone off when you stood before them.” He colored a little. “I am a soldier,” he said. “A soldier does not think about such things.” Fauvette looked at him admiringly. “You are very brave,” she said. The aide-de-camp smiled. “Oh. no, I’m not,” he hastened to say. “Why, the o;her day, when I went into battle for the first time, it was just as much as I could do to keep from running away. I expected that every bullet would hit me, and every time 1 heard one of them sing, I said good-bye.” “That was the first time,” said Fau- vette. indulgently. “You wouldn’t feel i that way again. My grandfather fought with Napo;eon, and he says that is the j way he used to feel.” “Did your grandfather fight with Na poleon?” the boy asked. “How I should like to hear him tell about it!” ‘*Oh, that’s easy enough,” said Fau vette. “If you wiil come back to the village he will tell you anything you want to know. But I forgot,” she added hurriedly: “you are a German.” He nodded. “Yes,” he said, “I’m a German; but I’m going back to see you safe to the village all the same.” The soldiers had now mostly passed by, and a number of elegant persons on horseback were bringing up the rear. Riding up to one of these, the aide-de camp held a brief conversation. Then wheeling around his horse, he came back to Fauvette. “Yes,” he said: “I may take you back to the village. There is another detach ment of our men there, whom I am to order forward. Will the cow go?” Happily Bebe had forgotten her stub born ess, or else she understood that home was the safest place for her. She made no objections when Fauvette told her to go on, and even allowed the young man, who had swung Fauvette up into the saddle, to urge her forward with his horse. The cow could not go very fast, however, and it took some time to reach the village. Half a mile

&C li je'.rfi.'* t MU-.’ UsMWbNe**. R away they heard the sound of firing, and off to the right, where Fauvette told the boy another road ran, hung a cloud of dust such as she had seen before that morning. When they reached the vil lage, how still it was! Not a soldier was to be seen. What had become of them the aide-de-camp wondered. There was no time, however, for him to be either frightened or sur prised. Hardly had his horse's hoof sounded on the street when out of every house rushed a troop of soldiers, half a dozen of whom gras|w?d the lad's bridle. For an instant both he and Fauvette were too much astonished to speak. The girl, who recognized familiar faces, was the first to recover herself. “Ah!” she cried, let him go. He has 1 saved my life and Bebe’s.” At the same moment an officer came i out of the inn door. “Your name aud rank, monsieur, he demanded, briefly The lad drew himself up proudly until his slender figure scetnea that of a man. His frank, boyish face glowed, and his blue eyes flashed fire. “Carl Ludwig von Schomberg,” he said, in French, “lieutenant in the German army, and grand duke of Hoenstauffen-Stein metz. The officer bowed. “Thanks, vour highness,” he said. “It is unfortunate, but your soldiers, w T hom I presume you expected to find here, have evacuated the village, and you are the prisoner of the French.” Fauvette's lip trembled. She was still on horseback, protected by the young officer’s arm. “But he came back to bring me,” she cried. “If it had not been for him, I would have been killed.” “That will be considered,” said the officer, “but at present Lieutenant Von Schcmberg is our prisoner. Will you please dismount, sir?” The boy let one of the men whom Fau vette knew take her down and then dis-. mounted himself. “Now, sir,” said" the French officer, ‘‘if you will come into the cabaret you will find there some of your companions.” The lad turned to where Fauvette stood crying on Bebe’s neck. “Do not erv, my child,” he said; “it is only the fortune of war.” “But it was for me,” she sobbed. “If it had not been forme you would be with your prince now. He smiled kindly. “I should no doubt have come back anyhow,” he said. Don’t vex yourself, little one; and adieu.” Her face lighted up through her tears. “Ah, no,” she whispered, looking hurriedly around to see if any one over heard— “Au re voir.” What did she mean? the duke had wondered as the officer led him off to the cabaret. He would hardly see her again, for the next day, if not earlier, they would surely take him off to Metz, or wherever else the French kept their prisoners. It was an inglorious ending to his military career, but he had served the little peasant maiden and saved a cow’s life; and he was sure he would rather have dene that‘ban kill somccne in battle. His rank enabled him to have a room to himself in the upper story of the cabaret, and left alone, with a sentinel outside the door and another beneath the window, he had time to reflect upon these things, and to wonder what the prince would think when he did not re appear. ard whether they would send back for him. They would hardly do that, he concluded, since they were anx ious to get ahead as fast as possible. He was unwilling to admit it, but there did not seem to be any very good prospect of his immediate release. All the after noon he was left undisturbed, and when the darkness shut down there were no signs that he was to be removed that night. At midnight, however, the key turned in the lock, the door opened, and some one stood in the room. “Are you awake?” whispered a soft voice. It was Fauvette’s voice, and the boy’s heart gave a thrill of hope. “Oh, yes,” he answered,“l couldn’t go to sleep, you know.” She came up to him and laid her hand on his arm. “Listen,” she said. “The soldiers are all asieep. My uncle, who keeps the inn, has drugged their wine, and my father holds your horse before the door. There is nothing between you and your army. You must go at once.” He hesitated a moment. “And you?” ho said. j “Oh. lam all right,” she answered, i “This is my home, no one will harm me.” He could not see her face in the dark ness, but be guessed that the black eyes were full of tears. “You are a good girl,” he said. “Tell me your name. You know I did not learn that.” “My name is Fauvette,” she said, aim' ply—Fauvette Marets.” “Ah,”he said, “Ishall always remem ber the brave little owner of that name. Then taking her hand he lingered a mo ment in the door. “Adieu,” she said quietly. “Ncin,” he exclaimed; “it shall not be adieu. I will surely see you again some day.” He leaned over and kissed her forehead. “Auf wiedersehen, Fau vette.” and clasping her hand, he passed swiftly out into the hall and down the dark stairs. In a moment Fauvette heard the muf fled clatter of the horse’s hoofs on the hard road, and then, with the tears in her eyes, she crept down the stairs her self, and went to her own home. —Eliot McCormick, in Young People.

Not for several will dredging be permitted, a aft conse quently the supply tongrneu ;ean fur nish, is insufficient for the demand. Oysters are reported to be plentiful on the beds and rocks, and fire said to be of better quality thas before these beds and rocks were with tongs and scoops; but it is feared by many weli informed dealers, that unless greater; limit is put u{?on the catch, the supply must alto gether in a few years for shipment to foreign States in paying quantities.

Besides the original cost of steamers and sail vessels, which has, \vd think, been unnecessarily large, the expense of maintaining such a formidable fleet will be simply enormous-exceeding by thousands and thousands of dollars the income from licenses grafted by the State. This excess will h|)ve to bo met by extra tax upon the proper ty of the whole State, and willj cause aloud demand for a “halt,” whfch the majority in the next legislature will not dare to disobey. The oyster interests of Maryland are valuable to its citizens, to be protected; but if the expenses of running our brilliant navy i?i pro tecting those interests are to be great er than the accruing benefits, Would it not be the part of wisdom t& sell out to the Secretary of the tJ. S. Navy, forbid dredging altogeth er, or come back to the old ?node when depredatory vessels wer*i con fiscated and every tongman the State regarded himself a fyuasi deputy to the Sheriff, to aid in eslforc ing the laws i f 9 mum i A Convincing stirring address whiclj has been is sued by the Democratic National Committee to the people of the coun try, should be read by every tOter. It is a calm review of the situation and ought to convince all who have not yet made up their minds aiu? are anxious for an honest administration, to vote for Cleveland and Hendricks, as President and v ice-Preside nk of the United States. The great rimed of the present time is honest govern ment, and there is no prospect that we should have a pure or an elei uted administration of the Government without a change in the present-ad ministration.

She lectured at Woodwards-, ville, this county, on Monday night, to an audience of thirty, at 25 teats admission—one half to the church and one half for Belva. Her subject was “The Era of Woman.” i The B. and O. red books, edntun ing election statistics of the different State, are in great demand, and thous ands ot them have been given out- at republican and democratic headquar ters.
