AN INDIANA RoMANCE.-The Terre Haute
Express tells it; She couldn't see it in that
light. She didn't want to marry him, but
he was bound she should. They both lived
couple of miles from the city and near
neighbors. She refused to listen to his
counting and he grew desperate. So he went
off to the west, and while out there per-
suaded friend to write letter, saying that
he was dead, and asking, as his dying re-
quest, that she might, il she ever went out
that way, to stop tor moment and toss a
weed, or perhaps a flower on his lonely
grave. This was tender, but il didn't take
worth a cent, and she wrote back letter to
the friend, saying that if he had any con-
sideration for her feelings at all, to send her
the dead lovers watch and chain, his money
and all his valuables. To carry out his plans
the dead man sent home his brass jewelry
and other effects, and she Immediately
proceeded to don the trinkets and
start to singing school with the chosen "fel-
Ier'' of her heart. On their way back home
the pair were startled by the appsrition of
the lost lover, clad in ghostly white, but
with the old lineaments intact. The young
man fled, but the girl stood still, and putting
up paw which resembled an elephants
foot, naively inquired if the ghost wanted to
be kissed to death bv a mule. To which his
ghostship replied thus: "Lordi Lord Jeru-
sha, hev / come all the way home to find
you false?" "You bet, replied the fair one,
laughing heartily, for she had discovered
that it was really the person of her dead
lover. The fellow had played nice game,
and had followed his goods and chattels
back to the land of his nativity very quickly.
The damsel was so Disguised with the other
fellow for running at sight of the ghost tina;
she Immediately began preparations for mar
rying tine ghost.

AUSTIN DOBSON.
Here in this leafy place,
Quiet he lies,
Cold, with his sIghtless face
Turned to the skies;
lis but another dead;
All you can say is said.
Carry his body hence
Kings must have slaves;
Kings climb to eminence
Over mems graves;
So this mans eye is DIM
Throw the earth over him.
What was the white you touched,
There at his side?
Paper his hand had clutched
Tight ere he died.
Message or wish. may be-
Smooth the folds out and see.
Hardly the worst of us
Here could have smiled
Only the tremulous
Words of a child =
Prattle. that has for stops
Just a few ruddy drops.
Look. She is sad to miss,
Morning aud night,
His-her dead father's-kiss;
Tries to be bright,
Good 20 mamma, and sweet,
That Is all. Marguerite"
All, IL beside the dead
Slumbered the paint
All, if the hearts that bled
Slept with the slaint
If the grief died but no:
Death will not have it so.

4 LAST TALK.

Come out in the garden and walk with me,
While the dancers whirl 10 that dreamy tune,
And the world is fair as a night in June.
Let me hold your hand as used TO do;
This is the last, last time, you know,
For tomorrow a wooer comes to 700
And to win you, though love you so.
You are pa'e-or is 1t the mOonlights CLEAN
That gives to your face that sorrowful lookl
We must wake at last from our summer , Seeam'
Love- the poet, has written well;
de has won our hearts by his poem sweet;
And now, at the end, we must say fareweli-
All, but the summer was fair anc Meet.
Do you remember the night we met?
You wore "A rose in your yellow hair,
Closing my eyes, can see you yet,
Just as you stood on the tOpmost stair,
A fiutter of white from head to feet,
cluster OF buds on your breast. An me!
And the vision was never half so sweet
As it is tonight in my memory.
Hear the viols cry, and the deep bassoon
Seems sobbing out in It's undertone'
Some sorrowful memory. The tune
Is the saddest one have ever known.
Or is il because We must part Tonight
That the music seems so sad? All me!
You weeping, Love, and your lips are
The ways of life are mystery.
I love YOU, Dove, with a love so true
That in coming years shall not forget
The beautiful face and the dream knew
And memory always will hold regret.
/ shall stand by the seas as westand tonight,
And think of the summer whose blossoms
When the frosts of fate fell chill and white
On the fairest flower of the summer-tide.
They are calling you. Must let you so?
Must say goodbye, and go my way?
III we must part it is better
Good-bye's such a sorrowful word to say!
Give me- my darling, one last sweet kiss
So we kiss our dear ones and see them die
But death holds parting sad as this;
God bless you, and keep you-and so-good

The London Times says this on the spasm
of virtue that seized congress just before the
adjournment: 1t required some corporate
audacity on the part Of the house of repre-
sentatives to call upon the secretary of the
treasury to meet the deficiency by increasing
economy. He has only to reply by inviting
them to set an example to the other en-
ployes of the nation by relinquishing that
double pay which they voted themselves
last year. When the perpetrators of 'the
back pay steal'-to use the transatlantic
phrase-are ready to give up what they have
taken, they may ask others to follow their
example. 1t they plead in extenuation of
their reluctance to do this that from the in
crease in the cost of living they find their
double allowance no more serviceable than
their old salary, they may be asked with
what conscience they propose to apply %
the permanent service of the country a rule
they are not ready to apply to themselves.

To the Editor of the Sentinel
SIR: / saw in the Journal copy of Mr..
Jerry Wilson defense of o. p. Morton from

He cites the fact that Morton made speech
in November, 1860, in which he took ground
against secession and in favor of coercion,
and thereupon sets up the wonderful o. p.

tual discoverer. 1t is by this sort of puffa-

THE LATE BOILER The
Norfolk Virginian oil to-day contains the
following particulars of the boiler explo-
sion at Deep Creek Thursday last: From
the owners Of the mills, we learn that three
negroes, employees at the mil. were in
stantly killed, their bodies being blown
several hundred feet, and one of them hay-
ing his head nearly severed from his body
by flying piece of iron. Another negro
was terribly injured by the scalding steam.
and died during the night. There were
four others wounded.
The statement Of the engineer was that
ne had stopped the engine for some pur-'
pose about twenty minutes before the ex-
plosion, and large number of the negro
employees had gathered around the fur
mace to warm. He had Just taken
hold OF the throttle valve to start
the engine, and was getting her off
the centre when the fues of the
boiler exploded. tearing out the ends Of
the boiler and scattering death among
them. He was entirely uniniured. being
protected by brick wall. The fireman
was under the boiler at the time, and es-
capped with a slight scalding. Mr.. Burgher
attributes the disaster to the iron in the
tiues, which was only one-eighth of an
inch thick. There was plenty of water
In the boiler. and only SIS or 90 pounds of
steam on. '7sl 49,

FACTS FOR THE PEOPLE.

We make the following extracts from the
annual reports ofstate officers for the year
ending September 80, 1878:
The Peabody fund contributed $31 ,45O
TO the public schools of the state. Still
more liberal appropriations may be ex-
pected as soon as the Legislature makes
provision for normal schools.
Superintendent Ruffner says 'there is q
general testimony to the improvement in
the qualifications of teachers in the public
schools, yet nine-tenths of them are far
below what they ought to be and must
become"
There are 1910 students in the several
colleges in the state, 1858 of whom are from
other states. Superintendent Ruhner says:
"The prosperity of our higher institutions
during the past year has exceeded that of
any previous year in the history of the
state, and now we have the satisfaction of
seeing Virginia lead not only her Southern
sisters in the work of higher education,
but leading the whole thirtY-seven states
of the Union"
@ One.third of the county superntendents
of public schools have resigned in the past
three years; supposed cause-too much
work and responsibility for the pay
allowed.
The superintendent of public instruction
says that "a corps of experts should be
kept all the time passing from county to
county, instructing and drilling the
teachers.o a1 M
Nothing in connection with our school
work has been SO badly done, says Su-
perintendent Ruffner, as the taking of
the census of school population, and yet
nothing more demands to be we'll done
for on this enumeration is based the d.
vision of the school money, both state
J and county. Three have been taken,
costing about 400 each. The first and
last was taken by the district clerks un-
der the original law the second was taken
by the assessors, and is utterly worthless.
The third is better, but not complete.
Ten counties failed to report The SUI
perintendent recommends an amendment
to the law by which no more money
will be wanted, and an accurate census
obtained, o.8 II
