period was drawing near, when his star,
which had risen on the horizon, was to
move on to elimination. The Coufedera-
ton of the States, under the old articles of
agreement, as is too historically true to in
spire doubt, was found to be woefully
inadequate to the end proposed. The very
Congress which framed those articles,
seemed to feel intuitively, that they were
but a rope of sand and when they were
submitted to the Legislatures of the re-
spective States, they were declared to be
"the result of impending necessity"
Mr.. Marshall, concurring with Wash
ington and Madison in the necessity for a
more stringent bond of equitable union, as
member of the State Legislature, advo-
Gated the call of convention to revise the
articles of confederation. Marshall, not
then thirty years old, shared largely in the
discussions which shook the halls of legis-
lation as well as the popular assemblies of
Virginia, and, it was in these debates that
that great mind which was afterwards dcs-
tined to display its lofty powers in ex-
pounding the DOCTRINES OF TIE CoNsTI-
TUITION, gave an earnest to his native State
of the priceless treasure she possessed, in
having such sou.
The Legislature OF Virginia in 1885, at
the suggestion of Mr.. Madison, proposed
"a convention of Delegates, to concert
measures for the better regulation Of for
eign commerce" This convention met
at Annapolis, and having become satisfied
of the radical defects of the Confederation,
suggested to Congress the expediency of a
general convention of delegates for the
purpose of altering the Articles of Confed-
Grafton. Congress recommended such q
convention on May 25, 1777, and contin-
ued in session until the next September.
The Constitution ofMe United States was
the result of the deliberations of this Con-
vention of the States of the Confederacy,
Rhode Island excepted. BY tho Oote Of
Virginia in her Convention, though valid
before by the acceptance of it on her part,
the MAGMA CnARrA of the land became
completely successful, and God grant it
may continue to stand "to the last sylla-
BILE of recorded time" monument of the
wisdom, the patriotism, the mutual conces-
sion Of opposing sovEREIGNTIEs, for the well

Statistics of Dome site Animals.

The monthly report of the Department
of Agriculture for February gives the
following facts: Horses have increased
slightly in most of the Western and South
ern States, but very little in the Middle
and Eastern-not enough to keep pace
with the increase of population in the At
lantic seaboard States. Nebraska, Kan
sas, Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, Wiscon-
sin, and the Pacific coast States exhibit
the largest increase. That the numbers
are not equal to the demand is shown by
the general though small advance in pri-
ces. The increase of mules is also slow
in comparison with the rapid aggregation
of population, and the range of prices ap-
pears to be higher than last year The
returns Of oxen and other cattle point to a
positive decrease in New Jersey, Mary
land, North Carolina, Florida, Texas,
Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois,
the diminution amounting to five per cent.
in the latter State. In milch cows re-
duction is reported in Texas, Ohio, and
Illinois, and some of the Southern States.
A general increase in the prices of cattle
is reported. The reduction In the num-
Der Of sheep appears to be general, the
only exceptions being Rhode Island, Ten.
nessee, Missouri, Minnesota, Kansas, and
the Pacific States. The loss cannot bt
much less than ten per cent. In some
States it is placed at fifteen or more. The
prices Of sheep have declined slightly il
certain sections, and advanced in others
In Connecticut and New Jecsey, where
unusual attention has been given to NUT
ton breeds, prices have been fully main.
tanned. In districts where merino stock
monopolizes sheep-walks, the decline is
general, and in some sections heavy. The
returns of swine corroborate those of last
fall, showing the comparative number o.
of fattening hogs, and mark very decided
reduction in numbers, amounting to fifteen
per cent. in large portion of the Ohio
valley. The prices are largely increased
in many States-tw enty-fye or thirty per
cent. and not unfrequently fifty or sixty
per cent. An inspection of the tables will
show marked advance, the result not on
ly of reduction in numbers, but of spec
ulation naturally caused by such state Of
facts.

NO NIGHT THERE.
Written for the Middletopn Transcript
ny JAMES II. FRAZER, N. d.

No night-no shadows there,
No curtaining of sad hearts with their woe,
No agony Of chill and dark despair,
No yearning for life we cannot know.
No pain--no aching brow,
No feverish wakings from the restless sleep,
No change!ess hours, that oh, so weary now,
No tossings lone, amid the silence deep.
No tears-no anguished flow,
No litter fprrCws on the sad, pale cheek,
No BURNING, swollen lids, no drops of woe,
The suffering, troubled spirit to bespeak,
No death-no riven bands,
No gentle closing of the loving eye,
No last faint pressure of the feeble hands,
o God | no last, no last expiring sigh.
No night-no sable fame
Fitting chill blackness Ter the dear ones dead
No ''dust to dust" no leaving in the tomb,
No willows weeping o'er the lowly head,
No night-no shadows there,
No curtaining of sad hearts with their woe,
No agony of chill and dark despair,
No yearnings for "better" than we know.

george Peabody.

On Thursday night, Nov. 4th, Geo.
Peabody, the distinguished banker and
philanthropist, breathed his last at his
house in London. He was born in
Danvcrs. Mass, Feb. 18th, 1895, and
was IN his 18th year at the time Of his
death.
His parents were poor, and he left the
district school az the early age of eleven,
and was engaged rs clerk by q grocer
in his native town. After various vicis-
situdes in like branches of industry, he
found himself, in 1915 while still mi.
nor, in charge of a dry goods house in
Baltimore, Elisha Riggs, silent partner,
furnishing the capital. He visited Eng
land several times to buy goods. and in
1887 settled in london. His business
throve so well that when, in 1913, Mr..
Peabody SCI himself NJ as banker iu
London, he was already the master of no
inconsiderable fortune, and established
almost ut cnce first class business repu-
tat'on. He was able thereby to do much
toward reviviug confidence in American
financial integrity, which had been nj
most utterly destroyed by the transac
tons connected with the crash of 1887
He continued actively engaged ia bust
ness in London, until about year ago,
when he returned to this country and Wis
tied the White Sulphur Springs for bis
health. Mr.. Peabody was famous for
his benevolence. His fortune has lately
been estimated by those competent 10
Judge. at $20,0O0,O0O. His known
benefactions have been added to the
amount of about IS 100000. OF this.
$4,000 900 goes TO the establishment of
free schools in the South, the fund being
administered by commission of seven
prominent men of acknowledged sagacity
and responsibility. Nearly like amount
was devoted to the building Of tenement
houses for the working people of Lon
don. This Gift made him famous in
Europe and America. iOtl,er needy oh
jects in England have received benefac
tons from his hanl, while in America,
the city of Baltimore is indebted to him
for half a miIion,, devoted TO the Mary
land Institute for tue promotion OF
science, etc, aud his native town of
Danvers and the adjacent towns have to
thank him for donations. whose gross
amount is counted by hundreds Of thou
sands. sFtffe
Mr.. Peabody devoted most Of his lie
to money getting. we believe; but lis
appearances indicated a man of large
brain and noble impulses. He was a
conservative in politics, and leaned to
ward the Confederate side in the late
contest, although he opposed secession.
We believe that most of the Confederate
bonds were disposed of through him.
