DEATH OF GAUDENTTUS.

Before VospasiRn's regal throne.
skillful Gaudentius Stood
'sBulld me" the naughty monarch cried,
"a theatre for blood.
know thou'rt skilled In mason's work,
Thine Is the power to frame
Rome's Coliseum, vast and wide.
An honorto thy name.
"0yer seven acres spread thy work,
And by the Gods Of Rome,
Thou shalt hereafter BY my side
Have thy resplendent home,
"A citizen Of Roman rights,
Silver and golden store,
These shall be thine; let Christian blood
But stain the marble door"
30 rose the Amphitheatre,
Tower and arch and tier;
There dawned day when martyrs stood
Within that ring Of fear.
But strong their quenchless trust In God,
And strong their human love;
Their eyes OF faith undimmed were fixed
On temples far above.
And thousands gazed In brutal joy.
To watch the Christians die,
But one beside Vespasian leaned
A strange light In his eye.
What thoughts welled up within his breast,
As on that group he gazedl
What CLEANS Of holy Hight from heaven,
Upon his dark soul blazed2
had he By password gained access
10 the dark eatacOmb,
And learnt the hopes OF Christs beloved,
Beyond the rack, the tombl
The naughty Titus DER him bends
my priceless architect,
To-day will announce 10 all.
Thy privilege elect.
"A free-made citizen OF Rome
Calmly Gaudentius rose,
,And folding DER his breast his arms.
Turned 10 the SavlOrs foes;
And In a strength not all his own,
With life and death in Wow,
The fearless architect exclaimed:
Tam C7iristian. tOor'
Only few brief moments passed.
And brave Gaudentius lay
Within the amphitheatre,
A lifeless mass Of clay.
A Cesar promised him the rights
OF proud Imperial Rome,
But Christ with martyrs crowned him King
Meath Heavens Cloudless dome.

A Chicago Swindle Exposed.

The Union Furnishing Company

ands Of deluded people in the West

tain accounts Of the closing up Of the
establishment by the officers of the
law. Everything seems to prove, as
appearance all along indicated, that
Geo. b. Hodges g. Co., were, as the
Times justly expresses it, "a set of
arrant knaves." AS we have before
mentioned in our columns, the man

Company was to issue tickets, the
price Of which was 25 cents, emitting

This il on II valuation of $500, and
IL will be seen that while the tax lev
led by the State Is only soc, the tax
levied by the people themselves is
sll.50.
If, therefore, taxes become burden

them SO, and have no just cause to
blame anybody else for their own
acts, and should have too much man
illness to allow designing demagogues
to blind their senses and their hon.
esty, and cause them to join in a
senseless cry against the Republican
party and blame IL as being the
author Of their grievances. ut will

Gle on the list Of goods sent with ii,
on the further receipt Of $1.00. The
list included dry goods, boots and
shoes, gents furnishing goods, glass
ware, cutlery, musical instruments,
and standard books. The price fixed
to each lot in these several depart
ments was 81, being much below the
usual price. The ticket received up
on payment Of the rs cents allowed
the holder TO select any lot he desired
which would be sent to him upon
his RENTING the 81. The swindling
consisted in receiving the money
and not sending out any goods. As q
matter of shrewd policy the firm
sent toa large number Of towns few
parcels of goods In return for 81 re.
mittance, but after establishing local
agencies and getting large number
customers, they discontinued prac'
tice which took so much from their
profits. The downfall Of the concern
is due to their creditors in Chicago
Mr.. Thos. Brown, whom the firm
owed $500, causing the collapse Of tht
swindle. AS the constable appeared
at the front door, Hodges & Co., es
capped out of the back door, and have
not since been heard from. The
Times thus describes the inside view
Of things:
In the office were a large number
Of unopened letters from the morn
ing mail, and on shelf were arrang
ed the opened express packages tha
had been received. There were per
haps 1900 Of them, indicating the re-
mittances Of various amounts.
In the store room, at the rear, were
a lot OF boxes, and the apartment
had the appearance Of being pretty
well stored with goods. Out Of eacl
box would hang sample Of fame
shirts, slippers, shoes, dress goods, 81
something Of the sort, but the solita
ry specimen would DO found to in
clude the whole stock of each varie

there was not more than $3.50 worth
A good many country people gath

and were filled with much chagrir
and disappointment when they found
IL in the hands Of custodian.
They stated that they had sent
money for goods, and had writer
time after time for them, but had
been put off with various excuses.
Some parties had ordered goods t.
the amount Of $500, having acted as
agents and innocently cropped in ,

Of the New York public was prompt and
emphatic. The attendance was larger than
ever before in the annals Of the regiment and an
unusual representation Of fair women dressed to
kilD and brave men ttwo-thirds dressed In
gorgeous uniformly adorned the Academy. The
boxes were even more respondent than

CIVIL RIGHTS IN VIRGINIA.

Spicy Legislative Debate on the Mixed
Schools and the Wants OF tho Black
and White Races.
RICHMOND Jan. 6. 1874.
The excitement over the Owl Rights bill still
continues undated among the legislators Of the Old
Dominion. Its anticipated passage creates almost
panic among the conservatives. The white re-
publicans are scarcely less fearful Of the disastrous
eject 1t will have here, while the negro members
are Internationally in favor of 1t, without any mod
incation whatever. To-day Mr.. Round, white re-
publican, introduced a set of resolutions on the
subject OF the educational clauses OF the Civil
Rights bill as follows:- ehH
That is the of this General Assembly that is
oord children to sSs psc that s and
separate schools under The same general rules as to
Il. ss g s
&c an
These were opposed in toto by the conservatives,
in view Of their action yesterday upon the subject
and lively debate ensued 1t is unnecessary to
pend Synopsis OF the remarks OF two republ.
cans. = 49, tlll va
A WHITE VIEW
MI. Allan, OF Prince Edward white, republican,,
said that these resolutions called forth by the
action OF the General Assembly in relation to civil
the ~ the body Of tse ys
ginia. He quoted the language Of Colonel Hughes,
TO the effect that federal or other legislation
force mixed schools would be destructive to the
whole iree school system Of the Commonwealth
While he was In favor OF civil rights he would have
the legislation upon that subject 80 shaped as not
to compel the mixture OF Ne races in the public
schools. he asked the suspension OF the rules for
immediate action. M.
THE COLORED ASPECT.
Mr.. Evans (colored), Of Petersburg, did not be-
1ieve that Congress intended to force mixed
schools except IN those localities where there were
not enough children to form colored schools. The
black people did not want their children to 90 to
white schools; but he knew OF counties where COL
ored children had been kept out of schools 1or
three or four years because the requisite number
could not be had to form separate c0l0red schools.
II the Civil Rights bill passed. he would venture to as.
sert that very few more black children would seek
entrance to white schools than white children
would seek entrance to black schools. He differed
very materially with Mr.. Allan. They wanted the
right, whether they availed themselves Of 1t or
not. He wanted the resolutions referred.
g.-L I.t NO DECIDED ACTION. lHr
The Senate refused to suspend the rules, and the
resolutions lie over 1t Is the opinion OF the most
thoughtful and experienced minds here that the
passage Of the Civil Rights bill will produce more
trouble and disorder throughout the South than
the most obnoxious OF the late reconstruction

A BROOKLYN MYSTERY.
Man Found Dead In Washington
Park.

As Ofncer Carney, OF the washington Park po-
lice, was making tour over the Park last evening
he observed, as he supposed, an intoxicated indi.
vidual lying the grass Just of one of the paths.
Upon attempting to rouse the man he discovered
that he was dead. he notified the police Of the
Fourth precinct Of the fact and Sergeant Carpen-
ter, with several men, removed the body to the
Morgue. The deceased appeared to be about so
years Of age, and from his dress It might be in.
ferred that he was labOrer. He had on short
brown coat, black velvet vest, brown pan
falcons with knee patches or black.
lying upon his face, and some blood, which had
Oozed from small wound on the nose, was clotted
upon felt hat Near the body Q small black
satchel picked up, and this contained pair Of
spectacles and few crumbs of bread. An ex-
animation was made at the Morgue by Captain
Craft and Detective Carr. No signs Of any tOul
play were discovered on or near the spot where
the body was found, and there is nothing BY which
the man can be identified except his clothing.
The wound on the nose was not OF itself suf1cient
to cause death. The body was very comfortably
clothed and remarkably clean and mad no appear
ance of being that OF q man given to dissipation.
Captain Graft will continue his investigation. He
expresses himself perfectly satisfied that 1t Is not
murder.
