HoRTIoULTURAL.-At the special meeting of
the trustees of the Horticultural society, it was
deemed inexpedient to make any change in the
location of the library at present. A strong de-
sire was, however, manifested, that the room
should be opened more frequently, and that the
volumes should be rendered of easier access.
In accordance with this desire, the Office of the
secretary and librarian has been established at
the library, and that officer may hereafter be
addressed or found there, when not elsewhere
engaged.
II was also decided to resume the practice Of
familiar conversations upon topics pertaining TO
horticulture, and committee was appointed to
make arrangements therefor. The first of such
meetings will be held at the library on Saturday
afternoon, at O'Clock p NJ. All persons will
be welcome. Specimens of fruit for exhibition
or comparison are especially solicited Mem
bers OF the society are reminded that it depends
mainly upon themselves of what benefit these
meetings shall be-

The LIGHT BATTERY.-If the militia of the
city is worth supporting at all, it would seem to
any one having a knowledge of the facts that
better armory accommodations ought to be pro-
vidcd for the light battery company, The two
infantry clmpanies have quarters in an arlnory
which is commodious in size, convenient in
every appointment, and centrally located, while
the battery i. put off with a rude structure
down near "Scalpintown," at the lower end of
Salem street, with room so small that only
half the company can be accommodated at
once. T'is being the fact, the company is
div lded and the sections meet on alternate nights,
when they 20 through with such incomplete
drill as facilities afford. If an attempt is made
at out door exercise with the pieces, they must
be run down a hill so steep that half the com.
pany is required to haul one gun back into the
armory; and with so many disadvantages, it is
with difficulty that the officers can succeed in
Keeping the men together and interested. The
battery certainly deserves share of attention

TIE CIVIL RIGHTS ELL.

THE UIVIL KIGHIs BILL'
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1O.-A delegation oil
colored men, advocating Summers supple
mentary civil rights bills, visited the president
to-day, asking him to urge its passage in mes.
sage to congress. The president, in reply, re-
marked that he had no doubt that the colored
people were deprived of some rights and privi-
leges to which they had clear claim, but his i'm.
preston was that the recent amendments to the
constitution conferred upou them all the privi-
leges of citizenship, and he thought the courts
would accord all the legal rights withheld. With
regard to amending the amnesty bill by the
addition of the supplementary civil rights bill
the president considered that such action would
eoparcIze the passage Of an amnesty law, while
from his knowledge of Summers bill he believed
it could pass on its merits as separate measure.

A life of anxious care and weary toll,
Yet full of faith and love and joy;
With all mothers yearning heart and soul,
She labored for her darling boy.
O! that could but see my boys dear face,
To hear him speak in tones Of love;
Yet God doth know. His holy will be done.
Wen meet, we'll meet, at last above.
God bless my child: afar in distant lands,
Protect and shield from every harm.
o Thou, the widow and the orphans God,
Put round about him Thy strong arm.
The mother crossed the weary, weary hands {;
On Jesus breast her head reclined.
She was the daughter of the heavenly King
His loving hands the dim eyes closed.
Asleep at last; the blessed pilgrim lay.
About her glorious couch of pain
The white-winged angels other Father house
To bear her softly home again.
Her body lies beneath the green bay tree;
The oleander blossoms there,
Yet her immortal spirit ever lives,
White-robed and crowned in glory fair.

The Little Republic.

Switzerland is country to which everyone
nowadays who travels at all goes, but it is in
the eyes of most regarded as simply a play
ground, and we will venture to say that COM
paratively few who visit Chamouni and Zu-
rich, and sail over the Lake of Geneva, have
any distinct notions of its history, constitu-
ton, and progress. Yet it is an interesting
country in these respects, and has special
claims TO be studied by Americans.
The venerable little Republic dates from
1907, when the cantons of Uri, Schwtz, and
Underwalden entered into a confederacy for
mutual aid against Austria. 1t was at this
time that the incident, regarded by some as
apOcryphal, which made William Tell famous,
occurred. The three cantons were successful
in their endeavors to shake off the Austrian
yoke, and within fifteen years Lucerne, Zu-
rich, Glarus, Zug, and Bene joined the young
confederacy. Aargau was conquered from
Austria in l4l5; the abbey and town Of st.
Gall joined the other cantOns between l45l
and 1854; Thmgau was taken in l46O Fri
burg and Solothurn admitted in 1881; the
GrisOns in 1897 Basic and Schaffhausen in

Quite an excitement was created in unso-
phisticated Louisville the other day, by a
member of troupe of japanese acrobats, who
rolled head over heels all the way down a
long fight of stairs, turned a somersault at
the bottom, jumped onto his feet, and gave
an animated little japanese chatter. The
opinion of the LOuisvillians was that the man
had fallen down stairs, made. miraculous ss-
cape, and INDUCED in little natural Ito

case was that the oriental was taking his ac-
custOmed indoor exercise, and chartered at
the end because he had stopped at the ground
floor, instead of going through to the cellar.
