The Tumored appointment Of Richard A.
Young as postmaster of Petersburg was
encouraging news yesterday to the Repub-
lican office-holders here. To them it Is an
indication that party services will not be
altogether ignored by the new Administers
ton. Mr.. Young Is native OF North Caro-
lima, and was not long ago the Republican
candidate for Sergeant OF Petersburg. Mr..
Jorgensen's preference was for Michael
Reilly. but both Grant and Hayes declined
to see wherein Mr.. Reilly had earned the
gratitude OF the republic. The first inti-
nation OF Mr.. Toung's appointment came
from Mr.. Jorgensen, and it is therefore
presumable that he favored him after find
ing that Reilly was not acceptable.
Mr.. Giddings, who went to washington
to get the position of postmaster OF Rlch-
mond, has returned in no very high spirits.
Colonel Popham, who has been IN WASH

yesterday, but expected to return last night.
He and others are laboring to present the
claims Of Judge Hughes for the vacancy on
the United States Supreme Court bench.
1t is understood that a number Of the mem
bers of the Richmond bar will endorse
Judge Hughes for the place. =.

dorsed by city officials and councilmen, and
by leaders of the party, businessmen and
notables, as any man could be. Governor
Walker also commendS him. .-.'
It is, however, not at all certain that the
present incumbent will not be reSppointed.

IN Aprirs sunny days.
How can they walk among the briery tangles
Edging the worlds rough waysg
These white-rose feet, along the doubtful fu-

Must bear Homan's load;
Alas since woman has the heaviest burden,
And walks the hardest road.
Love, for while, win make the path before
them
All dainty, smooth and fair
Win Gull away the brambles, letting only
The roses blossom there.
But when the mothers v'atehful eyes are
Away from sight Of men,
And these dear feet are left without her guild
ing,
Who win direct them thenf
How will they be allnred betrayed, deluded,
Poor little untaught feet!
Into what dreary mazes win they wander,
What dangers will they meet?
Ey

OF sorrows fearful shades,
Or find the upland slopes Of Peace and
Beauty,
Whose sunlight never fadess
VIII they go toiling up Ambitions summit,
The common world above?
Or in some nameless vale securely sheltered
Walk side by side with Love!
Some feet there be which walk LIES track un-
wounded,
Which find but pleasant ways;
Some hearts there be to which this life is
only
A round Of happy days.
But they are few. Far more there be who
wander
Without hope or friend
Who find their journey full Of pains and
losses,
And long to reach the end.
How should it be with her, the tender
stranger,
Fair-faced and gentle-eyed,
Before whose unstained feet the worlds rude
highway
Stretches so far and wide:
All, who may read the future? For our darl-

We crave all blessings sweet,
And pray that He who feeds the crying
ravens,
Will guide the haby's feet.

one of which breathing upon the earth

Is preceded by the coming of Antichrist
Antichrist is blind of one eye, and has a
great deal of hair falling about his face;
and he brings with him the resemblance
of paradise and hell. But that which
seems like paradise is, in truth, hell fire;
and that which he shall say is hell, is, in
fact, paradise. He will come out OF a
