The Ivy.

On the castles mouldering walls,
d Through the lo1e deserted halls,
Up the turret's winding stair.
Round the massive tower sprinsing.
Creeps the ivy everywhere
Faithfully and fondly clinsiRg
Der decay its beauty linging.
Spring may watt her sweetest breath,
simmer deck the earth with flowers
Autumn sing of love and death,
Winter come with cold dark hours,
Still no change the ivy knows,
For tue rul ned pile It grows,
Faults with loving ART cJncealing
Only beauties rare revealing.
Year by year it holds its place,
Never asking If the life,
Folded in Its close embrace,
Hath been one o. peace or strife,
Never asking OF the past,
Only loving 10 the last.
As the grand old ivy cliugs
Closer TO the things that perish,
Feeding on the love ii brings,
60 should we protect and cherish
Those whom age and time are bearing
Swigtly from all earthly things.
Watching them with love untiring,
All their JOYS and sorrow sharing,
GuiaIng them with faithful hand,
Till our care no more requiring,
On the heavenly shores tney stand.

The prayer of the Norman might suit the

heaven, do not ask for wealth only to be
placed within arms length OF some man who

The all but certainty with which, when
one inquiries into the private affairs of a

has for some time been one of the Washing
ton Jokes.
The Christian UpiOn insists that if the
legend 'In God We trust is to be stamped
on the new silver dollars, the petition. For

Some people insist upOn putting the logi-

why things don't work. They are like the

| The brutes who have had the hardihood to
take the position that not till the majority
of our women should express desire to
vote would they compel them to take the
fresh burden and responsibility of the suf
frage, have been wont to allude, sarcastical
ly. to "the good time coming when women
will vote, sing bass and drive stage The
latter time. it seems, has already come. Mrs.
S. A. Hauser, wife of the proprietor Of
Pennsylvania mail route, as the papers tell
US. was driving the mail stage between
Chambersburg and Gettysburg, last week.
The Ways and Means Committee Of the
House have adopted the Fernando Wood
schedule of reduction of the duties on wool.
They have done so against the protest ofrep-
resentatiyes of the united wool interests of
this country, representing twelve distinct
branches of industry, and two hundred mil
lions Of dollars of capital and in spite Of res
olutlons declaring that the prosperity OF
wool production and sheep husbsndry of the
United States require the full measure of the
existing protective duties on wool, received
from the State Wool Growers Associations
of Vermont, New York, Ohio, Michigan,
Wisconsin, Illinois, Pennsy and West
Virginia, from the State Agricultural Assc-
citation of Georgia, and from other sources.

WHIsKEY AND TOBACCO. Under this head
Western paper makes the following state,
ments which are certainly worthy the care
ful attention of the people:
The report Of the commissioner of in
teInal revenue shows that the total number
of licensed saloons. or drinking places in the
country is one hundred sixty-four thousand
five hundred and ninety-eight or one to
every two hundred and eighty persons.
Take away the Lon-drinkers, and We
have one saloon 10 about every one hundred
drinkers. The report tells us that there
were four thousand five hundred and ten dis
tileries in full operation in the United
States during the past year. The taxes on
distilled spirits reached s57. 4G9, 429 an in
crease of more than million dollars. The
collections ON tobacco foot up Sll,lOG, 5i5-
an increase Of Sl.3ll, ,2G7.
These figures indicate that however dull and
depressing some branches are. there is no
difficulty IN getting money for whiskey and
tobacco. They also show that temp erance
reformers and nnti-tobacco advocates are not
likely soon TO be out of work. if their efforts
cease only with the eXtirpation OF the evils
which they deplore. 1t is the waste of one
tn ousand millions Of dollars a year which is
one of the potent causes Of the hard times,
and of go many tramps, and 50 much pov-
erty.'

SHADEACH, MEsHACH, AND ABEDNEoo.-
Some have doubted whether the Babylonians
were guilty Of such extreme cruelty" as to
cast persons alive into burning, fiery fur
mace, as in the case Of Shadrach. Mesbach
and Abednego, mentioned by Daniel iii. 4:
26) They arc strangely forgetful of innu-
merable fiery martyrdoms, very much more
slow in their torture, and therefore more
cruel, than the seyen-times heated furnace
of Babylon. II +. Talbot has discovered
ample proof in the Assyrian writings that
both this punishment, and that of casting
men alive into a den of lions, as Daniel was
treated, were IL common Use at Babylon dur
ing the reign of Assurbanipal, who preceded
Nebuehadnezzar on the throne by less than
20 YEAR, Saulmugina, the younger brother
of AssuIbanlpal, having nsen IN rebellion
against his sovereign, and having failed in
the attempt, was not spared by his angry
brother. The following brief record is suffi-
cient to tell IFS own tale "My rebellious
brother, Saulmugina, who made war with me,
was cast into burning, fiery furnace. Many
OF Saulmuglna's adherentS were treated IN
the same manner and the remainder were
otherwise disposed of in the following way,
as Assurbanipal very pithily says THE
rest of the people threw alive among bulls
and lions, as my grandfather, Sennacherib,
used to act and l. following his example,
have thus treated these rebellious men.
Truly may We exclaim with the Psalmist.

habitations Of cruelty. ~ London Ui1rtsrIy

WELDON, MI May 8.-Our town cleo
tion for commissioners was held here to.
day. The polls were opened at sunrise.
About twenty-five votes had been poIIed,
when negro's name was challenged. A
dispute arose. The Republican Judge in.
sisted that the negro should vote
whereupon about thirty negroes, all
armed with; clubs. knives, and pistols.
rushed in upon the. poli-holders, and
commenced the attack. There were. only
about ten white men at the polls. A regu-
lar tight.sat once began, but after. few
minutes the room was cleared without Sc
rious injury to any one. The negroes, how
ever, led on by two, OF three notorious
characters. continued to make threats and
warlike demonstrations. An extra police
force was ordered to clear the polls. This
force was resisted, and general fight again
began. BY this time about seventy-ivc
negroes had collected, and assaulted the
whites, about twenty-five in number. with
fury. But for the prompt and determined
action of the whites much blood would
have been shed.
One negro, John Purnel, upon raising o
tremendous club and striking n gentleman
on the head, was shot through the body, the
ball going in Just below the left nipple.
Another ball entered his mouth and lodged
in the back of his head. He is not quite
dead, but will certainly die. Alexander
Burnett was shot in, the shoulder and hand !;
both flesh wounds. Fortunately, no whites
were seriously injured; several, however,
were considerably bruised. The negroes,
upon finding that one of their number had
been Killed, as they proclaimed, made q
rush for the gentleman who they thought
did the shooting, swearing that they would
whites, with pistols, could do to protect him
from them.
|. Quiet was Mt last restored, and the Mayor
at once had warrants Of arrest issued for
several Of the principal actors, both white
and colored. The whites, promptly gave
bonds for their appearance at the Superior
Court, which is now holding at Halifax
Courthouse, and were released. The voting
then vert ON very quietly. The negroes,
however, still retain their clubs and seem
to be awaiting another fight. 1t Is hoped
that no farther difficulty will ensuc, rs the
whites, though determined, are exercising
great prudence and forbearance. A COM
pany of men from Norfolk has been tele.
graphed for.
9 o'clock L. M.-Thc election closed
without farther disturbance. The Radicals
claim the election, but the Democrats will
contest on the ground OF riot and fraud.
Upon counting the vote % more ballots
were found in the box than DEMONSTRATIONS

tered voters, and 23S ballots were counted
The negroes still retain their clubs, and
threaten to avense the shooting OF John

COURT.
Especial telegram TO the Dispatch.I
HARRIsoNDURG, VA, May 6.-An i'm
portant and extensive raid against illicit
distilers in the Sixth district, in the noun
organized by the internalreyenue collector
at this place few days ago, and promptly
and vigorously executed by some determined
and brave men, detailed for this perious SER
vice. The raiding party organized by the COL
lector was in charge OF Lieutenant Donovan,
assisted by the deputy United States mar
shall and storekeepers, and Gaugers James
Fl. Beemer, Thomas Il. Campbell. James r.
O'Neale, Captain a. Fonkleiser, Deputy
Collector 4. NJ. Lawson, OF Albermarlc
county, and Joseph Smith, sheriff Of Greene
counts, went upon this raid, and captured
the following-named parties, charged with
illicit distilling-to wit James n. Nichols,
William Berry, Silas Weekly, V. Henry
Utz, Champ Dodson, Oscar McAlister, Silas
Berry, and Stewart Yowcll-the two last
named parties making their escape after
arrest-al of Madison county. They had
warrants also for the arrest OF Albert Wood
ward, A. Myowell, and Pleasant FL. jenkins,
OF the same county.
Four Illicit distilleries, some of which
were in operation, were found and destroy
ed on what is called Ragged Mountain, near
the dividing line between Madison and Rap
pahannock counties. The parties arrested
were brought to Harrsonburg and deliv-
cred before United States Commissioner
William j. Points for examination this eve
ming, but the examination has been de-
ferred until tomorrow to await the Gov
ernment's witnesses. This will be an i'm
portant and exciting addition to the bust
ness OF the United States Court for the
Western district Of Virginia, which will
commence its session here tomorrow.
At this session Of the court ex-senator
John T. Lewis will qualify as marshal OF
this district. The business OF the court
has largely increased in consequence OF the
failure OF Judge Riyes to hold session i'll
October last.
