POstpOnement Approved.
The Herald editorially speaking of the
postponement OF the extra session OF
Congress says the final determination
will be generally approved. The diff.
culties alleged to stand in the way of the
postponement are mainly imaginary,
and even if some inconveniences SHOULD
arise from the delay they Will be more
than compensated by the avoidance OF
those which would have attended June
session. We shall at least escape the
discomtorts Of summer Congress at
the capital and the mischie ievOus agita-
ton which could scarcely be avoided
should Congress assemble before the
Presidents Southern policy has had
time to develop its good fruits. Besides,
an autumn session may give Congress
hint OF much needed reform. That
body now meets in December and wastes
that month in waiting for the Christmas
holidays to 60. II it should regularly
assemble on the 1st of November it
could complete all the preliminary work
OF the session before the HOLIDAYS and
have so fair start after New Years as
to get through by the 1st OF April.

flew to the nest, surveyed the unfortua-

SONGS OF OLDEN TIMES.

With all our boasted progress In usu-
sic, we have very few good popular
songs. A song advertised as .sthe great
est success of the day" may be set down
in advance as the veriest trash. We
have little now equal to the songs OF
years ago, such as 'tBen. Bolt,n aTom
Bowling" "My lodging is In the coid
ground" "Black-,yed SUSAN" etc,
which were popular favorites whan
written, and are well received even noT.
or the so-called popular song-writers
we have superabundance, but whom
have we to equal Dibdln,, Bishop. DR..
Arne, and their compeersi Some OF kae
productions OF Hays, Dauks, and tao
like, are pretty, and almost all achieve
a certain success, but they don't last.
The war gave rise to innumerabIe bal
lads OF more or less merit, and sinee
then cheap music has run riot, A few
years ago 80 Where's Rosanna Gomez,
"a song Of unmitigated vuIgarity, wiih-
out redeeming quality, either in words
or music, which was first sung by a cir-
Gus clown, was universally popular.
Whlstled by boys on the street, sung by
young ladies in the parlOr, and eyea
hummed by grave business men in thsir
offices, 1t was familiar to all, but who
hears it now?
Not the least evil Of such songs is that,
II popular, some one always writes re-
ply to them, thus giving two iollies IN
stead OF one. Many OF the songs of the
day come from opera bouffe, and it may
be said that most OF these can claim the
merit OF being adapted to their purposs.
the music being generally bright and
pretty. Cheap music now RACES with
out let or hinderance, and we may wen
pray for some ballad-writer who shall
take the place in his line that Wagner
is assuming in opera, only, instead Of
the music Of the tuture, let MIN restore
to us the strong, invigorating music %
the past.

National Associated Press to the Star.
NEW YORK, May IA special from
Portsmouth, Virginia, reports terrible
poisoning affair on a plantation, near
Kempsville, Princess Anne County.
The plantation is carried on by Thos.
Haggard and Arthur e. Herbert, and is
presided over by Mrs. Laura McAlpine.
The other inmates at the time OF the
poisoning were Daisy and Beckie Nc
Alpine, aged fifteen and seventeen,
Misses Lydia and Susie Mayer and
Thos. McComb, the last named three
being visitors. Saturday morning after
breakfast the five ladies and McComb
were taken suddenly i'll with vomiting
and other symptoms Of poisoning. DR..
Hunter. Of Kempsville, was called, and
said that they had been poisoned by
arsenic or strychnine. Other medical
assistance was summoned from Norfolk,
but the case Of the five ladies is CON-
sidered hopeless. McCombs are milder
than those of the others and soon yielded
to the antidOtes administered. 1t is
not yet known whether the poisoning
was accidental or not.
