FROM NEW YORK.

Nc,o York, April 3.--Eour city regi-
ments and large number of officers assist
ed at General Anderson's obsequies. His
remains were placed in vault at West
Point this afternoon. There was no public
ceremonies or funeral services. Everything
was of strictly private character.

failure of other savings banks is not impos-
sible at any moment.

THE NOBEL CANDIDATE.

"To make victory certain and to COM
mand a moral influence which might other
wise be rcpelled, candidate recognized as
moderate but firm, free from partisan con-
nection, embarrassed by no yexatious
record, sound and pure in character, would
not only bring up the Democracy solid,
which is necessary, but call out a vote
from the Republicans such as would as
tound those who are now revelling in
power, and who do not realize the march
Of silent revolution, which will soon
sweep away every yestige of their corrup-
tion."
The Washington Patriot, in stunning
leader, quoted by other Democratic papers,
thus describes the candidate who is to run
Grant off the course. Doubtless he would
do it, and achieve other wonders. But first,
"catch your hare" Moderate, firm, no
party, no record, sound, pawe"-what =
man he must be! Such men don't grow
largely in these terrene realms. In the
still serene spaces of the armament, sub
sisting on ether, they might no doubt be
found.
1t might be well to send Tor lew 10
serve on juries, and for Democratic caadi-
dates.
But if our friends depend upon that kind
of man to beat Grant they are lame.
Consider the fearful contrasts between
party and candidate. Think of Tammany
and Five Points behind such leader the
Plug-uglies and the Ku-Klux, with other
pure and amiable allies of the modern De-
mocracy, following the angelic captain.
Their poet John G. Sare, who is as bad
politician as he is good punster, has
some advice apropos:
Don't look for an angel minute,
For granting you win in the sequel,
The deuce after all would be in it,
In a union so very unequal

THE UNIVERSITY APPROPRIATIONS

The clause in the appropriation bill Civ
ing $4,000 to the University of Virginia
and the Virginia Military Institute, excited
considerable opposition. We are intensely
interested in the success of all educational
institutions everywhere, and especially in
Virginia. But we cannot see on what
principle money is paid to these institutions
whose benefits are shared only by the chill
dren of the rich, to the exclusion of others.
We are in favor of consecrating, if need be,
all the income of the State, to the educa-
ton of the people, but let it be so applied
as to benefit all classes, as nearly as possi-
BILE, in an equal degree.

built up by the Senate on two-line bill of
the House, abolishing the duties on tea and
coffee, and involves revision of the entire
revenue system, both tariff and internal.
Representatives of both parties concurred
in the action, and the bill was disposed of.
Meanwhile, in week the House Ways

FIsK's FIRST COMPOSITION. -Colon

.FIsK'S FIRST CoMPosITIoN.--Colo
fFiaS's first composition is given in q recent
wolsk, from which we quote:
One of his copy-books, used when he
was about twelve years old, is still pre-.
served by his step-mother at her home in
Brattleboro, and to say that it is a literary
curiosity is to do meager justice to one of
the most original of all the written results
of school boy labor ever examined by the
critic. Hardly page but shows the an
tipathy of the boy to everything like set
forms, and hardly a line but bears evidence
of his natural contempt for uniformity.
The little book contains three or four COM
ypositions, one of which, entitled ga Piece
about the Dog,o is as unique as anything
ever penned by Artemus Ward. The young
writer says in his ''pieceo (Which had evi-
IDENTIFY originally been written "peace''):
"a dog is an animal with four legs be-
cause he is a quadrooped. like large
dogs best because they can run further and
fight better than little dogs and they can
also catch rabits. A big dog aint worth
much without hes got good breed into him
Then had drather hev littler one. They
can also drag sleds some has been learned
to cary sticks and baskets and seterer
The bulldog is the best fighting dog be
cause most likely he was made for tha
purpus. A terrier goes mostly for rat
but they can also fight. think the new
foundland is the noblest dog he saves chill
den from drownding, and they are sags
sous. This is all for the present"

Proridence, April 3.--The Rhode Island
State election was held to-day, and awoke
more than the usual interest, owing to the
fact that about 1900 Democratic regis
tered voters had their poll taxes paid for
the first time in two or three years.
The result, however, was the election
of the Republican State ticket except
Lieutenant-Governor. Especial issue
was made against the Republican
candidate for Lieutenant-Govcrnor, the
present incumbent, Pardon w. Stevens,
because of his alleged connection with trap.

Charles K. Cutter, Democrat, by small

throw the election into the Legislature,

DIRTY PooL.-We hear much of the
dirty pool of politics, and there is no lack
Of patriots who are willing to cast them
selves into it for its publication. But there
are other pools quite as filthy. One of
these is located at the corner Of Twenty
fifth and NJ streets. The attention Of the
authorities has more than once been called
to it. Its removal would have been com
paritively pleasant job month ago. But
now it is stagnant and filthy. If the street
authorities mediate any interference with
it, they will need some good dsinfectants.
1t would possibly be more considerate for
the engineer and his assistants to endure
temporary disgust, than to allow this reek-
ing mass Of corrupt water and offal to stink
in the nostrils Of its neighbors all spring
and summer.
