n,-Thc editor of the Providence Post,
in one of his letters from this Elace, casts
an UNIV arrantable reflection upon stephen
Cahoone, Esq, our excellent General
Treasurer. In speaking of the expences
which the State has paid for violations Of
the License Law, he makes tho following
remarks -
Some of the country members are very
anxious to find out how much the State Is
gaining or losing by the prosecutions un-
der the present license law and am told
that they will make some attempt to ascer-
tain the facts. They tried, gently, to get
at them, last winter, but did not succeed.
| reminded one Of the anxious that we had
tried for seven years to get The items of
expenditure growing out ot the Aigerlne
"War" in 1912, and had not succeeded
that the GRAND (there is some
meaning TO the emphasized word d)-had
been once or twice ordered to report them,
but had refused. When the Wings have
tried seven years unsuccessfully, to find
out how much of our money goes 10 pay
costs in license cases, perhaps they VIII
dare nominate somebody for Treasurer bts
sides Stephen Cahoone.
This assertion is entirely gra,uitous on
the par, Of the editor Of the Post, and If he
really believes what he states, he has made
a sad MS axe in obtaining his facts. No
call aas ever made by the Legs,ure on
Stephen Cahoone for official information
that i. vas MT promptly and fully answer
ed and we know that Rhode Island has
never had more honest, worthy and In
teligent General Treasurer. In all that
constitutes the mobility Of man, he has but
few equals, IN this or any other State.

E,-The last ,idiugs by the California
mails show that the revolul on IN prices &c.
has commenced the prices are rapidly
falling, aud everything appears to be com
ino down to a reasonable and sensible lev
Ell. In consequence of this, several heavy
failures have occurred, and more arc ex-
pec,ed. In the course Of year from tins
time, we think there will be very gencr-
al oyer,urnng Of affairs there; prices must
come down and specultors must be serious
ly affected. Those who Lave purchased real
estate at high rates, thinking that they
should realize large pr, fits on their sales,
will soon have to sell at something like fair
prices and where a man has paid ten thou
sand dollars for lot Of land, which in fact
is only worth two or three thousand, and
from which he cannot now realize more, he
will be unable to survive many similar
shocks. However, after this reaction has
taken place, and business is ESTABLISHED on
a surer and more healthy foundation, IT will
be better for al and although men may
not make money so rapidly, they will make
it more honestly and more safely.

praying that beacon lighthouse be ercc-
ted o. Sandy Point on Prudence Island in
Narragansett Bay. We trust that the
prayer of these petitions will be granted,
as the urgent necessity of lighthouse at
Sandy Point has long been seriously felt.
1t is required for all vessels navigating
Narragansel, and Mount Hope Bays. The

WIN Deainlnp smile ana courteous
bearing, DR., Wharton passed down
his luxurious drawing-room, with the
crowd pressing heavily about him,
gathered there that night in honor of
his young wiic's birthday.
1t was a scene of almost regal lux
ury, of unwonted gaiety. Flowers
wreathed the lamps, and held back the
sikcn drapery, and sent forth their in
cense from tall vases, while the fra
grant air uemblcd to the rich music,
filling every apartment Of that stately
dwelling with its wild melody.
The evening was wearing away
when his glance wandered to his fair
wife, as she stood with group of gen
tlemen about her at some distance.-
Her hair was wreathed with Jewels,
and at every graceful gesture the frae-
lie lace of her robe huttcred and trem-
bled as it swept in costly folds to the
flo r.
But the eyes that rested so earnest
ly upon that brilliant creature flashed
forth no ray ofpride or love. No cloud
darkened the husbands brow when he
marked her draw her fairest bud from
her boGuet, and place it within the
hand of one who ever lowered near her
during the evening.
No Imagination and memory were
at work and close beside the light
and thoughtless one stood form, how
diflcrent-a form that should hare
stood there, IN its calm dignity, hold
ing him captive at It's side.
Peal forth, oh, Joyous music, thy
widest strain-wake tie dreamer from
his dreams, dreams which may come
no more, for even now a servant bends
low, and Harry Wharton lifts a white
and simple note. Onward he passes
TO the moonlight conservatory, where
no eye may behold him. Harry Whar-
tou, il is we'll that no eye notes thy
coloyless cheek, when that long, dark
curl lies before you. One brief line
he reads, of Sybil and the dead.
A burst of music wilder than all
others, falls upon his car, and with 1T
there minglcs womans laugh, full of
gaie,y and joyousncss.
"Sybil, Sybil," comes mournfully
from his quiyering lips, and a tear gilt
ters upon the dark curl within his
hand Jewel more precious TO the de-
parted one, than the brightes, gem gilt
tering within his brides hair.
