Poetry.
A Dollar i'm His Pouch.

N DVAAdtA La 111S E-OtlCMs
'Tis pleasant when our friends are rich,
To meet them day by day,
Or good or ill, no matter which,
Provided they can pay;
But there is one-you answer not
Who would or could avoueh
Esteem for one who hadn't got
A dollar in his pouch?
IT'S pleasant with our friends to dine,
10 See them we'll arrayed,
10 bumper them in costly wine
For which themselves have paid:
10 smoke with them, to drive about,
Share cup, caress and couch
But could we know man without
A dollar in his pouch?
The bride will love the pleading swain
Who holds at his command
A handsome house, goodly train
Of equipage and land
But should his former fortunes cease to smile,
Even love away will SLOUGH
Why can't the creature show pile
Of dollars in his pouch?
On sea, on shore, they seem to say
He is rich, and can't be dull
The gold within his portmonaie
They think can fill his SKULL
Let Mammon reign, let genius rot,
Let wit, love, valor crouch
Poor devil, if he has not got
A dollar in his pouch.

THE CITY COUNCIL.
Action in Regard to the Removal of the Broad
Street Distractions.

Action in Regard to the Removal of the Broad
Street Distractions.
A special meeting of the City Council
was held yesterday afternoon, to consider
the subject of the removal of the railroad
Instructions from Broad street.
Mr.. Chesterman, from the special COM
mittce, submitted the following supplement
tary report
At meeting of the committee on the removal
of the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac
railroad from Broad street, held October Goth,
1871, the following resolution was adopted
Resolged, That the matter of the removal of
the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac
railroad from Broad street be referred to the
Committee on Finance, with instructions to carry
out the recommendation of this committee in
the most practicable manner that may present
itself to them, after a full consideration of the
matter.
1t will be remembered that this special
committee, at the last meeting of the Coun-
Gil, presented report recommending the
acceptance of the proposition of the presi-
dent of said railroad company for the sale
of its depot property, at its assessed value,
and also to give to the railroad company
the privilege of closing up and using that
portion of Eighth street south Of the canal,
and in lieu thereof to open new street
through property adjacent.
Mr.. Isaacs opposed the adoption Of the
supplementary report. lie offered as a
substitute resolution in effect to commit
the whole subject to the Committee on
Finance, with instructions to open negota-
tons with the railroad company again.
On the adoption Of the substitute, the
ayes and noes were called, resulting as
follows:
Ayes-Messrs. Anderson, Scott Jas. A.,
Hooper, Palmer, English, Stokes, Wagner,
lsaacs, Davis, Higgins, Scott w. H., Levy,
Bossleux, Allen, Roper, Freeman, Manly,
and Starkc-1S.
Noes-Messrs. Chesterman, Strauss,
Wynne, Bargamin, Sloan, Lpscomb, Metz
ger and Braselman-9.
Mr.. Wynne said that he regarded the ac-
ton just taken as the decision of the Coun-
Gil that the railroad should not be moved
from the street.
Mr.. English did not so consider it. He ex-
pressed himself in favor of the removal ol
the railroad Instructions, but not on the
proposed terms.
Mr.. Manly made like statement.
" On motion Of Mr.. Isaacs, the Council
then adjourned.

OUR STATE FAIR.-Thc preparations
for the exhibition at the grounds of the
State Agricultural Association, which
begins on Tuesday, the 31st instant, are
far advanced, and are of more elaborate
and perfect character than for any preced-
ing year. We are safe in saying that the
exhibition will embrace q much larger
range of articles also, than on any previous
occasion, and will, no doubt, be success
in every respect. The accommodations both
for people and stock, as well as for articles
in all the departments of inventive skill and
to the increased and growing interest of
our people in these matters, and We
predict that the meeting here next week
will favorably compare in all essential
particulars with similar meetings in other
States.
The department devoted to cattle pro-
misses to be very full, indeed. Already the
original number of stalls prepared have
been taken, and large additional number
are now in course of construction. This
department will include some of the finest
stock, both of Virginia and Maryland, and
is attracting much attention among stock
raisers, who will be largely represented at
the fair.
A large number of horses have also been
entered. The entries embrace the finest
thoroughbred horses, brood mares, &C., of
which our State can boast, and we have no
doubt the exhibition will give new impe-
tus to importers and breeders.
Poultry has for some time been growing
interest in our State, and from the fact that
every coop on the grounds has for several
days been engaged, we may confidently ex-
pect the finest display ever witnessed in
the State. There will be no lack of accom-
modations, however, and no one need have
any such fears. The management are on
the qti rioe, and will be prepared for all.
We are gratified to know that the wo-
men of Virginia are taking great interest
in the approaching exhibition; that the de-
partment especially devoted to their handi-
work is rapidly filling up, and that the ele-
gance and variety of articles entering war;
rants the expectation that it will far out
rival any similar exhibition on the grounds.
In agricultural machinery and farm inn
plements, as well as every description of
labor-saving machinery, there will probably
be most gratifying Improvement, no less
in quantity than in the general interest
which so important subject has awakened
among the people of our State. Many en-
tries are already recorded, and the interest
shows no sign Of abatement.
The swine and sheep departments are
filling up to an extent scarcely anticipated
at first, but we are assured that ample ac-
commodations will be prepared.
The officers Of the society request us to
state that the Office on the grounds will be
open on Friday and Saturday next for the
reception of articles and stock entered for
| exhibition. M
