SHENANDOAH VALLEY RAILRoAD-Now
that this road is nearly completed to the
Clarke line, and its construction southwark
through the county of Clarke may be re-
garded assured, its importance to the farm
ing and general interests of the people of
Frederick also is manifcsting itself. We
have not time this week to say more than that
tho connection of Winchester with that road
on line as near as may be with the Wash
ington and Ohio projected route, would en-
sure most material modification Of transport
tation rates to the East and South by the way
of the Shenandoah Valley road. even before
the completion of the Washington and Ohio
road, by reason of competition with the Bal
timorc and Ohio road. We remind our read
ers, in this connection, that an act was passed
in 1878. under which, by private, county and
other subscriptions, it can scarcely be doubted
this connection (some eight or nine miles)
could be effected. That act authorizes the
connection. We submit the subject to the
earnest and immediate consideration Of our
people Winchester Times.

THE OLD AND NEW.

In Homer the old year went ont with the
,o,,,,,, of the Church bells-thc new came
in with joyful pcals. AT the hospitable
mansion of Mrs. l.. II. Ward the young peo-
MI, assembled to watch the dying of the
y.ar To watch not with grief and tears,
hnt with laughter, music, dance and song.
Los, in the merrincnt OF the hour, the notes
of the years requiem came monrnfuiiy To
.,,,,,.a ears. Toll-Toll Toll. so all
martial life must end. But not always As
died the year gone by, beneath cloudiess
axle, with myriads of starry eyes looking
calmly upon the death throcs of the divis-
-, of time. soon To be gone forever No,
no, ALWAYS to man is SO peaceful an exit
,-or,.d Clouds of sombre blackncss veil
tho departure Of the soul. Tempcstu9us
psssions rack the frame-regrct relnorse
aud shame for the failures of life. As we
now look back over the actions OF the
twelve months. the modification for errors
dane cloud, and ob,cures all memory of our
better actions. Such retrospection Is doubt
less given TO the dying who have their re-
Elective faculties about them, and longing
is felt for new trial. but the life is ebbing
sway-thc year is counted by seconds. Let
the dying fix their hopes on Him who
promises all to the drspalring sinner. Let
the living look into the bright and GLORIOUS
future, 81 full Of promise, Of hope, to HIN
who resolves that lie will live down thu
mistake, of the past.
But bark The bells are ringing Joyful
glad notes; swcetly the strains from III
baud are borne upon the midnight Hr-th
laughter of lovely girls and swect-volcc'
women makes sweeter music still. The ol'
year il dcad-the new year is here; an
with the birth Of the new. the soInbr
thoughts are gone. The momentary sent
mentalism has passed, and now again W

OSMAN PASHA AT BUCHAREST
Osman Pasha arrived here this eve
ming. He occupies suite of three
rooms on the first floor of the
Grand Hotel Broft. He is accom-
panied by his surgeon, who acts as
Interpreter, since Osman speaks
nothing but Turkish. He has also
several Ottoman attendants, be-
side the Russian staff officer who
has charge Of the captive hero. A
guard of honor PAGES up and down
the corridor opening on Osman's
apartments. No demonstrations
were made on the arrival Of the
party in Bucharest. The hour and
minute of Osman's arrival here
had been mentioned so often dur.
ing the past week that people had
ceased to credit the many an
nouncements, and, therefore, the
general public knew nothing of the
arrival until the distinguished guest
was quietly ensconced in his apart
ments, When Osman reached the
landing of the hotel little Rou-
manian girl stepped forward and
presented him with beautiful
bouquet of flowers. The tiny donor
was lifted up by the physician of
the Marshal, and the defender Of
Plevna bestowed a hearty kiss upon
the lips Of the little lady. Osman
appeared greatly touched by this
incident. London Tinles's Bucha-

Mexican Prilce.-.YounK IturbIde
In New Orleans.


Among the passengers of the
steamship jamaica, which sailed
yesterday for Liverpool, was His
Imperial Highness Prince Iturbide,
of Mexico, the grandson of the
Emperor Iturbide and the adopted
son of the Emperor Macmillan.
He arrived in this city few days
ago, and the object of his visit TO
England is to become student at
the Woolwich Military Academy.
He is bright, intelligent young
man, of about fifteen years of age,
speaks good English, and in APP
pearance as we'll as speech does not
betray the fact that he is of Mexi-
can blood, having none of the char
acteristics of the Mexican race,
which is in measure accounted for
by the fact that his mother was al
American lady, resident Of Phila-
delphia. In appearance he is OF
ordinary stature, has red hair and
light eyes, Is seemingly uncon-
scious of any dignity rising from
"blue blood' and patrician origin,
and occupied the table with the Of
ficers of the ship, and seemed well
versed not only in matters con-
corning the vessel, but in the
knowledge Of the world at large.
He was unaccompanied, and SEEM
ed perfectly able to take care of
himself. His military education is
probably an advance step to his ell
tering the English army.-Ne,O Or
leans Times, Jan. 11th.
