Judge Joseph Potter's first appearance

Judge Potter's charge to the grand

efforts of the kind heard here in years.
The charge was not long but showed
the characteristics of a clear thoughted
jurist, and the promptness and decision
Of a business man. 1t Is unfortunate
that no notes of the Judges remarks
were taken, for the charge was well
worth preserving.

Her Story.
by WASHINGTON GLADDEN..


Here, at the gate, let us stand and wait
Till the grand procession pass;
The marshal first, in marvellous state,
With the drums and sounding brass;
Then the veterans brave In blue draw near.
With sober, soldierly air;
And the halt and the manned are riding
here,
And the priest and the poet there
And now the troop of the children comes,
In wavy, hesitant files,
All bright with the blush of the early
All wreathed in roses and smiles.
They are hating now at the graves of the
boys;
And dirge will be softly sung;
And the parsOn will give to faith voice,
And the poet to love tongue.
But you and l. my Harry and Bess,
VIII turn from these well-meant words
Apart from the woodland SilenccS-
Alone with the breeZes and birds.
Here at this grave, where the pine boughS
grieve,
Our rosemary and our rue well leave.
And carry our hearts-ease home.
Did promise? Wen, there is nothing
But the joy and the pain are one.
Sit down on the bank here, Beesy, and
Lie here on the grass, my son.
Fourteen next month"; You were only four
When your father went away;
And you, little queen, were scarcely more
Than a babe that desolate day.

For an army of volunteers;
And the tidings brought 10 our happy

And held you both to his breast;

And watched with you till you slept;
Then, praying that God would guide him

Alone with his Father and you;
Till the helper lifted his load of care,
And lightened his sorrow too.
And then he came forth and told me all,

He would follow his suffering country :
who should dare to forbid? Not l.
You know the stOry-the parting word

The droning pain of hope deferred,
The binding blow at the last.

Is the dint of a ball, I guess.

press the opinion that the cotton crop
has been irreparably injured by the

been very unfavorable to the growing
sugar cane, and a short crop is predict
ed by the best authority. In Texas, for
a wonder there has been too much rain,

backward, but is coming on well now.
All over the South corn and wheat are
doing finely, however, and these crops
promise to be the best for many years.

Governor. Governor Washbum had
held the office only four months when
he died, and it seemed proper to elect
the new Governor from the east side Of
the mountain. But Governor Stewart
also wanted the office, and | have been
told, and it is generally conceded here,
that the friends of Governor Stewart
went to him and told him if he would be
content with only one election for one
year, that he would not run against him.
Otherwise he would run and defeat him
if he could, and that Mr.. Converse was
unwilling to agree to take the Office with
such an understanding, and thereupon
Governor Stewart entered upon the can
vass and defeated Mr. Converse. Now
Mr.. Stewart wants the people to elect
him to the Office of governor for four years
or for two terms of two years each.

sAc Crops.

CHIcAGo, May ~.
The papers publish reports from a
large number of points in Indiana and
Iowa in regard to the present prospect
of the crops, from which it appears that
the crops are generally backward, par
ticularly corn, on account of the cold
ness, but a large area is being planted
and, with fine weather henccforwarl,
the prospects for at least an average
yield are good. Wheat, particularly
fall, is looking badly in many localities,
and in some counties they are plowing
up wheat fields and planting them in
corn. This, however, occurs in some
more northern counties of Illinois, every
season.
Oats and other grains are generally
looking well, the former cereal promis-
ing an abundant yield.

IsRAELnEs.- The German government
has lately issued a carefully prepared
statement of the Israelite population of
the earth and the places of their dispcr
sion. From this it appears that, while
they form but a small community in
Palestine, they have settlements in al
most every out-ot-the-way corner of the
globe. Africa has a large number of
their colonies, one of these being in TIM
burton. The white Jews in China have
q tradition that their ancestors, number
ing ten thousand, settled on the coast of
Malabar, soon after the destruction Of
the temple. But the race is most nu-
merous in the region about the Mediter-
ranean and between the lower Danube
and the Baltic. Their number is esti-
mated at about four millions in these
regions, and everywhere they are report
ed to be increasing.

No SUPPORT FOR GREELEY.-A special
TO the New York Times from Washing

Upton is the only recruit thus far Sc

ANONYMOUS ALMsaIvINa.- are two mysterious individuals in London who appear to be past finding out. One of them is known only as "H. G." and the other as ID. N" A few weeks ago,
 just as the East London Hospital for
 children and women was about to sell the stocks representing its only reserve
 fund, in order to raise money, this mys- terious 'sH. G." deposited in bank one thousand pounds to the credit of the in- stitution, this being the third time that he has done the same thing, and always just at the moment when the hospital directors were most sorely embarrassed for funds with which to carry on their charitable work. They do not know who '.H. G." is, and so they thank him through the newspapers. ID. N." is an equally mysterious parsonage, who has been anonymously giving his sub-
 stance in thousand pound doses to the Alexandra Orphanage for infants. He, too has repeated the process three times. This is an excellent way of surrouding ones self with mystery, and we heartily commend it to any wealthy lovers of sensation who may happen to live among us. The idea is borrowed from a quaint old book which says, "When thou doest aims, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth."
