Sad Ending Of aBeaatifui Life.
From the Philadelphia Telegraph.

Among the first who fastened to the
relief of the Shreveport sufferers was a
beautiful young lady of this city. She
was willing to brave even the terror of
death to give aid and comfort to the
helpless victims Of terrible scourge.
She was Agnes, the daughter of S. and
Agnes Arnold. of this city, having
been adopted by them when she was
scarcely three years old. She left this
city some time ago as volunteer nurse,
and at Shreveport her noble bravery
and devotion gained for her the tile Of
CANCEL Agnes" One night, being
completely wearied out, Agnes, while
walking with sick child in her arms,
fell down stairway, at the foot Of
which was pail of water. On this
she struck and fractured her spine,
and died in great agony. Only few
days previous her intended husband,
who had followed her to Shreveport.
died with fever.

The lady of the legend olden,
In dragon form imprisoned,
with many colored scales bedizened,-
Violet. crimson, green and golden
Doomed her weary wierd to dree
Lonely In some desert fearful
For the champion waiting fearful,
Who should give her kisses three.
Who shonld nerve himself TO death,
Who should dare her poisonous breath,
And from the foul enchantment set her free?
Her name is duty-still she liyeth
Still in lonely plain she waiteth
dreadful form, which each one hateth y
But she weepeth and forgiveth.
Only one can set her free
viii be slgh and pass her codly :?
Or will he dare the venture boldly
Give the awful kisses three
Find the .othly horror fed
Blushing loneliness instead.
And IN his heart delight and victory

The Oldest organ in the United
States is in the chapel of ST. Johns
Church ct Portsmouth, N. Fl. It was
imported in August, 1713, and pre-
sented by Thomas Brattle to the
Queens Chapel in Boston, which, after
the death of Queen Anne, was called
Kings Chapel. In 1856 the organ was
sold to st. Paul's Church, Boston,
where 1t remained until 1886, eighty
years, when it was again sold to ST..
Johns Church in Portsmouth for $3.50.
A new case was added, and it has re-
NAMED in the chapel ever since, and is
still ID good order.

JUDGE KELLEY, of Pennsylvania,
called on Treasurer Spinner Wednesday
morning and made full and detailed
statement of the Credit Mobilier matter be-
tween him and Cakes Ames, and reque st.
ed Mr.. Spinner to demand from Mr.. Ames
full statement of all dividends on account
Of Credit Mobiler stock which the latter
claims he held for Kelley. Judge Kelley
said he had never been able to- obtain from
Mr.. Ames any statement of such dividends.
He had transferred to the United States all
his own claims, if any, for the Credit Mo-
bilier stock and dividends. Mr.. Kelley
did not wish the treasurer to enter this
money upon the records as a part of the
conscience fund, for he still asserts that it
never was his property, but in order to
place it in the possession Of the govern.
ment. where it properly belongs, if it has
any existence.

An aggressive policy of litigation has
been begun by the Chicago, Alton and St.
Louis railroad against some of the persons
who attempted to ride in its cars for the
legal fare of three cents mile. The suits
are brought for trespass, and the damages
are laid at $4,000 in each. The money
offered by the ''law-abiders" was taken as
offered, but none of them were carried
further than the established rates of the
company allowed. They were then order
ed to leave the cars. but refused, and it
is for the delay Of the train--which was
detained on side track three hours until
assistance arrived to eject the alleged tres
passers-that the suits are brought.

WE notice that the "rural" Democratic
press Of the United States has gone into
general rejoicing over the idea that " the
Republican party has been killed by the
Mobilier exposure" Now it is far enough
from our wish to dash the joys of our po-
litical opponents, Qor they have been for a
long time in great need of consolation, but
we trust they will pardon us for asking
about " the living form" of the Democratic
party Just now. How is it with the life of
that party? Is it robust? In which
state has it name to live at this precise
moment? The condition of the party in the
State of Connecticut, we think, is pretty
fair picture of it throughout the country.
1t has there nominated a" life-long" Re-
publican for Acknowledgements, on the
Cincinnati platform as its political creed.
And it is not forgotten that Mr.. Sumner
pronounced "the Cincinnati platform bet
ter Republican document, and more worthy
than the Philadelphia platform" A mill
lion of Democrats, believing in the truth
of Mr.. Summers declaration, refused to
go upon that platform at the last Presiden-
tial election. At any rate, the Democratic
party in Connecticut is now only half
Democratic in its principal nominees, and
not Democratic at all in its platform. That
certainly does not look in a very
healthy living condition for the DEM
ocratic party in that State. 1t is GER
tain that, from Democratic stand point,
it does not regard itself as being remarka-
bly, vigorous. And this, we will repeat, is
about the state of the Democratic party
throughout the country. At the close Of
the late Presidential canvass we think
there was a general feeling among its own
members that the Democratic party was
"dead;" and we are not aware of any
thing that has yet promised speedy resur-
rection to it, since its demise. If then,
our country Democratic contemporaries are
right in their jubilation that the "Republi-
can party is dead, it must be evil
dent that there are two dead parties
at this moment. And this seems to be SO
thoroughly the conviction Of many leading
Democrats in relation to their own party,
at least, that they are seriously talking Of
"a new party composed of the best ele-
ments of both parties"
The Republican party is in condition
to take care of its own life" and is moi
likely to invite Democrats to its funera
this year. 1t will seek different class o
mourners entirely at its demise.
