From the Chicago Times.

From the Chicago Times.
There appears to be one place or the
planet where ignorant and corrupt
misrule has done its work more com
pletely than in Chicago. That unen-
viable place is South Carolina. The
following are the comparative state,
ments of property values and taxation
in that charming domain of universal
suffrage before and since the war:
Taxable values before the
war. ar.......... $490, ,O0O, 900
Taxation before the war 100000
Present valuation. ....... 1874 ,000, 600
Present taxation. .... 1850, 900
Radical rule in Mississippi, in its
enormities far outstrips both these ex-
amples. The property basis of the
State before the war was $3.50, 600, ,00o,
and the average cost Of the State gov.
ernment did not exceed $3.50, 600. Since
the war, under carpet bag manipula-
tions, the taxable values of the State
have run down to less than $3.50, 600, =
900, and the average annual expendi
lures for carrying on the State govern.
ment, exclusive of interest upon trust
funds, has aot been less than 5000, 600.

IN THE NEST.


Gather them close to your loving heart
Cradle them on your breast;
They viii soon enough leave your brooding
Soon enough mount youths topmost stair
Little ones in the nest
Fret not that the children's hearts are gay.
That their restless feet will run;
There may come . time in the by and bye
When you'll sit in your lonely room and sigh
For q sound Of childish fun;
When you'll long for q repetition sweet
That sounded through each room.
OF Mother :" Mother" the dear love-calls
That will echo long in the silent halls,
And add to their stately gloom
There may come q time when you'll long tc
The eager. boyish tread,
The tuneless whistle. the clear, shrill shout,
The busy hustle in and out.
And pattering overhead
When the boys and girls are all grown up
And scattered far and wide,
Or gone to the undiscovered shore
Where youth and age come nevermore,
You will miss them from your side.
Then gather them close to your loving heart,
Cradle them on your breast.
They will soon enough leave your broodine
Soon enough mount youths topmost stair
Little ones in the nest
