Ing her to be mute experienced sympathetic emotion
at her supposed misfortune. On subsequent meeting
the "gush of melody" from her lips convinced him tina
both her tongue and eyes possessed charm pecuarl,
and occasioned visit from his truant muse
And canst thou speak tender word,
And use thy bonny, guleless lip,
To talk with fascinating strain
That honey bees would die to sipl
Methought thy tongue was silent when
met thee smiling on thy way, =
Fen like kind Hebe, when she strolls
To kiss the blushing buds of May.
The flower hung down his gentle head,
To shed sympathizng tear,
And birds cen hushed their song fjoy,
And zephyrs sighed when thou vert near;
While l, wrapped in holy dream,
In silence breathed prayer for thee,
And wished that myself were dumb,
If thou wouldst talk with eyes to me-
And oh! enchanting the spell
An hour-an age may regret,
For hope with me will never stray
But whispering tells me to forget.
Go bid the sun take back his ray,
Or tell the stars no longer shine;
As well may they perform that task,
AS could slight glance of thine.

LUxURIEs.-A New York paper, that finds
an echo in one of our city journals of g congo
nial feelings" indulges in very lachrymose lam
entations over the extravaganza of American
ladies, who encourage the importation, by wear
ing them, of eighteen millions of dollars of Me-
rino shawls, silk goods, hats, bonnets, laces,
jewelry, and diamonds! Oh spirit of chiyalry
whittier hast thou flown? But we have no ac-
count of the foreign wines, brandies, cigars,
cloths, cassimeres, silks &C., that are imported
for American gentlemenP Wen wager any rea-
sonable sum that the amount imported for Ame-
rican gentlemen is four times as great as that for
American ladies! But the question of sexual
consumption may be left to settle its own pro-
portion We should like to know by what rule
ladies are to be excluded from foreign luxuries,
and gentlemen only admitted? Trade, in its
thirst for profit, must regulate this point. As
to our ability to pay for all we import, who
questions that? Have we no cotton? No rice
No -four? No tobacco? No corn? Why, our
cotton crop alone will pay for all, and twice as
much as all. How are we to bring back from
foreign countries the proceeds of all our i'm
mense produce, but in commodities that will
yield profit, and find a market? Oh! We

GEORGETOWN AND ITS AFFAIRS.

To The Editors Of the american Telegraph.
GENTLEMEN: l avail myself of the privilege
extended in the note following the remarks Of
Heights, (" in your paper of the 18th instant.
Heights" states that the taxes on property
In this place have been reduced deny it: il
IS not So The taxes are now what they have
been for ten years; and if any confidence is to
be placed, or opinion formed from the speeches
and votes of the Jei-aoeather of the party. no
change will be made. The mayor, out of doors.
and in his written remarks, says, he can get ON
with reduced tax: his friend and mouth
piece in the Corporation says and votes to the
contrary.
AS regards the sinking fund, the mayor was
not the originator of it; he is merely carrying
out the views Of F. D., sen., esq, and the acts
of the Corporation.
Heights and myself agree in one thing
that is, the industry of the mayor; for he is in
defatigabe in violating an express law of Con-
gress, he being at the same time an. officer, ap-
pointed by the President and confirmed by the
Senate. Look at the one and two-dollar notes
in circulation, bearing his signature-from
5O, 600 to 10000. The interest upon this lille
gal issue is the sinking fund that is paying off
the debt of the town.
If it is wrong in bankers to issue small notes,
how can it be tolerated in an officer Of the
United States? Say nothing more of nulifca-
ton in South Carolina and Massachusetts

Oldest officer of the navy is Captain James Bar
ron, of Virginia, who entered the service as
lieutenant on the 9th Of March, 1898. He re-
ceiyed his present commission on the 22d of
May, 1893, and has continued to hold it
for more than half century. Captain Barron

To the Editors Of the american Telegraph.
GENTLEMEN: l was somewhat surprised, on
Saturday, to find nearly an entire column Of
the Telegraph taken up by Heights" in an
unsuccessful effort to justify the course pursued
by him in his former communication but so far
from succeeding, he gets deeper into the diff
Guilty, and commits, to greater extent some
of the very sins for which he lectures me--that
of particularizing especially. He also under
takes to correct an error which never commit
ted. That Georgetown is celebrated for its in
stitutions of learning, no one viii deny; but had
Heights" been as well acquainted with its
history as he would have US believe he is, he
would have known that every institution named
by him is considered private, and not public
place of learning; and my remarks were con-
fined strictly to public schools.
In our town, at the present time, there is no
news of any moment afoat; but find quite a
number rofimprovements under way, and changes
taking place. On the corner Of West and Mont
gomery streets, Mr.. r. Daw has built a beauti-
full and commodious brick house, which is truly
an ornament to that part of the town and near
the corner of Beall and Dunbarton streets there
is in course of erection a large frame, owned by
our worthy townsman, Mr.. 0. z. Muncaster.
The antique front of the tailoring establish
ment Of Mr.. Z. Cammack, on Bridge street, has
been removed to make room for beautiful
fancy front, which is truly an ornament TO the
street. While on Bridge street / would re-
mark, that find the stores and warehouses of
our merchants, Of every class literally crowded
with goods Of every kind and character; and,
judging from the preparations, | should con-
clude that they calculate on doing heavy
spring business and would suggest to them,
if they wish "quick sales and good profits, to
advertise literally in the American Telegraph.
The long wharf at the foot of Jefferson street,
which has been lying nearly idle for several
years, has been leased by Mr.. Charles Myers,
who has commenced thereon an extensive wood
and coal business; also, the wharf on the ca
nal formerly occupied by VIM. w. Frush, has
been taken by Messrs 0rme and Emmert for q
like purpose.
! have been credibly informed that VIM. J.
Goddard has sold or leased his carriage manu-
factory to Messrs. Reeside and vanderwerken.
The beautiful piece Of property, near the cor
ner of Washington and Dunbarton streets, for
merly the residence of the late Daniel Kurtz,
has been purchased by Mr. +. Wheatly, where,
understand, he intends residing in future.
The supply of fish at the wharf is good, and
prices moderate.
The sugar sale OF the Messrs. Dodge was
postponed, on account of the weather, until
noon Of Tuesday. Low-LASDs.
