To be born with the spring. +.
With the roses 10 die,
On the zephyrs' gay wing
To swim through a pure sky /;
On the flower just in bloom
To alight at its pleasure,
To be drunk with perfume,
To respire light and azure
Ere its youth be yet DER
With fleet wings far on high,
Like a breath hence to soar
To the vault Of the sky,
IL the butterhy's lott
Such enchantment ii knows
like desire it waits not
On its course to repose
But unsatisfied sighs,
Nor hee7ls aught in its fight
Till retirement to the skies,
There to seek its delight.

The Voters.

There were fifty colored and about
sixteen whites registered on "Wednesday
and Thursday last, as voters at the town
election to be held on Monday afternoon
next. No more than two-thirds of the
colored vote was registered who are emit
tied to vote for Corporation officers, num-
bers being employed on farms and OH the
fishing shores, who did not apply for regis
tration.
The democracy alias "White Mans Par
ty' are making desperate efforts to carry
the election, not that any Importance is at
tached to the Office under the present cor
poration law, the Town Commissioners
having but very limited powers and still
less pay, but the effort is to show their ami
mostly to the colored men who for the first
time are to exercise the right of elective
franchise. The opposition have gone so
far even as to go round town and hunt up
men who have no right to vote at the town
election, AMI get their tax receipts i'll order
that they may vote Oh Monday for the Cop
per ticket. The corporation law requires
a residence Of two years or the payment
of corporation tax on town property as a
qualification for voters. Some having no
taxable property have been taxed, or had
the tax paid for them in order to qualify
them to vote the ssWhiteman's ticket on
Monday. 1t was contemptibly amusing to
see some of the young grog-shop loafers,
who never do a turn of useful work in
twelve months, busy running round town
on Wednesday and Tuesday hunting in
holes and corners for voters for the Copper
ticket.

The White Mans Party.

AS announced in our last issue few
mourners for the lost cause held a sad
and cheerless meeting in the Court House
on Friday evening. They performed the
mournful ceremony of organizing the Sc
pulchral party, the last sad abortion of the
admirers of jeff Davis and Robt f. Lee.
The meeting nominated seven of their lead
ing men for the office of Town Commits
sioners and declared rer6a1ly-they forbore
to place it ON recerd-that they didn't want
any colored man to vote their ticket-in
fact wouldn't have such vote if any one
had the presumption to dare offer. This
was the fox condemning the grapes for
their acidity, and might have been dispen-
sed with; the said grapes being beyond rev.
nards reach. The colored men should
stick pin here, and remember they have
had public notice that their votes are not
wanted by this newly organized "White-
mans Party" composed of the floating.
worm eaten timbers Of the old secession
Democratic party, which went to pieces on
the rock called the Fifteenth Amendment.

Terrible Disaster.

Richmond, Virginia, was the scene of a
terrible disaster on Wednesday. The con-
test for the Mayoralty OF the city-between
Mayor Chahoon on one side and Mr.. Ely
son on the other-had attracted large
crowd to the chamber of the Court of APP
peals, which is situated OH the second floor
of the State Capitol building, Immediately
over the Hall of the House of Delegates
About II o'clock the floor of the Court
room gave way beneath the dense weight,
precipitating the crowd to the room below,
where a caucus Of the Democratic members
OF the Virginia Legislature was in session.
Over sixty persons are reported killed and
about one hundred injured, many Of them
seriously. The disaster is one of the most
appalling which has occurred in Richmond
since the burning Of the Theatre, in 1911,
when the Governor Of the State and some
eighty to enc hundred others, including
many men of prominence and ladies thigh
social positions, lost their lives. Among
the killed are Captain Charters, Chief of
the Fire Brigade; Z. NJ. Schofield, lately
Assessor, and brother of Gen. Schofield,
late Secretary of War; Dr. J. b. Brock,
