Suit a against the CitY-slO,O0O Dam-
ages Claimed.

Thomas Hardy yesterday brought suit in
the Eighth District Court, alleging that on
the eighteenth of May, 1868, he was a mem
Der of the Metropolitan police of New Or
leans and Jefferson, and that in a riot that
then took place in Jefferson City. he was
shot in the arm and damaged $40 coo. He
AYERS that the Mayor and Council of the
city of jefferson made no effort to quell the
riot and the town became therefore liable
for all the damages done by the rioters. He
alleges that by the act of annexation the
city of New Orleans became liable for the
debts of Jetf-rson City, and hence this suit.

RyThe Times Of Yesterday indulge

EET The Times Of yesterday indulged
in rhapsody over reconstruction, be-
ginning thus:
"No American citizen, native or adop-
ted, who values the honor and welfare
of the great republic, can view with other
feelings than those of heartfelt satisfac-
ton the gradual solution of the difficult
problem of reconstruction
And ending in these words:
And what encouragement, in the re-
suits already accomplished, for the Re-
publican party, upon whom so heavy a
responsibility is devolved, to persevere
in the good work of reconstruction on
the broad basis of amnesty and suf-
frage."
What all this means is disclosed in the
following telegram from Washington,
(which was printed in the World few
days since, and aparaphrase of which
appeared in the other city papers of the
Esame date:
aGen. Ames was before the committee
this morning, and merely answered a
few questions. He said that the State
was now under such control that the Re
.pubhcans ,coald probably retain 1t for

The anthracite coal of Pennsylvania

Wyoming Valley, in 176S. Judge Bell,
of Wilkesbarre, was the first to use
sstone coar' in the common CRATE for
domestic heating. His original experi-
ment, in 1903, excited great curiosity.
1t was made in wooden CRATE. much
like the iron ones now used. An old book
called "The Free Mason's Monitor" in
the library Of Judge Bells daughter, has
a manuscript note in one ofits fly leaves,
relating to this first successful effort to
domesticate anthracite coal: February

By HOPE BLAND.
DO you remember our rides through the glen
Where the tree-tops whispered DER us9
Where the Pickering shadows softlyldanced, s
And the sunshine smiled before usp
In the leafy domes of their unseen homes
The birds rehearsed our story,
And the future we planned was brilliantl,
spanned
With visionsof coming glory.
Through the beautiful years, the full-throated
birds
Have flung down their showers Of singing;
And the tunoful chime Of our morning hopes
Through our onward life keeps ringing.
But the future we thought was only inwroughi
With joys ingathered sweetness
Put the manifold strands of change in oul
hands,
To weave into life's completeness.
But the on-coming years still fearless we wait,
Aswhen, in the sweet summer weather,
We sanctifed hope with the blessing of faith,
And took up our life together.
And though there must lurk in the pattern WI
work
Some shadows of trial and grieving,
The strength and the truth of the love Of oui
youth
Have gloriied all its weaving!

The Senate was overcrowded with
spectators to-day to listen to the dis
cussion on, and the novel proceeding Of,
swearing in the negro Senator from
Mississippi. Finally it was decided, by
a strict party vote, that Revels was a
citizen, that he was duly qualified in his
election, and should take his seat with
out even reference of his credentials
to committee. The debate lasted about
FIVE hours, when the vote was taken, and
Revels, who had been sitting in an arm
chair, grinning, during a good deal Of
the discussion, was escorted to the left
of the Vice President by Senator VIII
son and took the irop clad oath, after
which he was, congratulated by Colfax.
There was quite an agitation over the
brief ceremony in the galleries, especial,

Deigning the fairest but glances so feet,
Crunching them under his hurrying feet,
Spurning cen those that the bright waters lave
Snatching them only to cast on the wave;
Treasures near by passing carelessly DER,
