IT appears now that u little South Caro-

on Mr.. DEAs, Republican candidate for the

two bullet wounds on his person. This is

WILLIAM I, TAYLOR, Auditor Of Public
Accounts of the State of Virginia, is out in
a pamphlet statement regarding the status
of the Virginia school fund, or, more prop
erly speaking, the failure of the State to
provide for the proper support of the public
school system. He shows that the consti-
tuition provides that the State Legislature
shall apply the annual Interest on the
literary fund, the capitation tax provided
for by this constitution for public free
school purposes, and an annual tax upon the
property of the State of not less than one
mill nor more than five mills OH the dollar,
for the equal benefit OF all the people Of the
State, the number Of children between the
ages Of five and twenty.one years in each
public free school district being the basis oi
such division. This constitutional provi-
sion Is mandatory but in direct violation
of it, as appears from Mr.. TAYLoR's pam.
phlet, the Legislature in an act providing
for the funding and payment of the public
debt declared that
The coupons shall be payable semi mi.annually
| and bo receivable at and after maturity for al
taxes, debts, dues and demands due the State
which shall be expressed on their face.
The result of the application of this pro-
vision to the financial system of the State
was to rob the school fund of itsiperccntag,
Of the amount received from taxation, fol
the taxes have been paid in coupons to sucl
an extent as 10 render ii impossible to re-
serve anything approaching the requsit,
amount for the support of the schools. And
this is a specimen of the intelligent Demo-
cratic management of the affairs of the Old

In the world of art, several celebrities have

Two more celebrities have appeared on the
ffFary af fen One is Nine Henry Greye
the Academy. This name is a nom de plume
OF Nine. Durand, the wife of French pro-
lessor in st. Petersburg: She returned to her
the possession of which the Paris publishers
are now fighting. The other celebrity is Nine.
Al ANGIE iei DH,ssaud, quite Young lady of re-
TIevannes," created such sensation that the the
editor of the Rerue des deur Mondes imme
dlately gave her an order for a new novel
which she is now writing in her retreat near
Geneva. Nine. DuSSaud is wealthy. and be-
longs TO an old family. Like George Sand,
she was brought up at the Convent des An
glasses, but seems to have been making very
serious studies since leaving that establish
ment.
-. On the stage the celebrity of the moment is
the Hungarian tragedian, Neville MOritZ. He
made his debut, in London, as Otheyo, at the
queens Theatre. In Germany MOritZ is con-
sldered the greatest and most intelligent in
terpreter Of Shakespeare. But he seems to

Poe Reciting ..The Raven

Once, In discussing "Ihe Raven" Poe OBJ

as he desired that it should be read. That
evening, a number of visitors being present.
he was requested to recite the poem and com
pany spelbound, but, in the midst of it, /
happening TO glance toward the open window
above the level roof of the green house, behel |
eyes shOne in strong relief against the sur
rounding darkness. These were a number of
our family servants, who, having heard much
tax about Mr.; Poe, the poet" and having
but an imperfect idea what a poet was had re-
quested permission of my brother to hear the
recital AS the speaker became more impaS-
stoned and excited. more conspicuous grew the
circle OF white eyes, until, when at length he
turned suddenly toward the window and, eX-
tending his arm, cried with awful vehemence:-
Get thee back into into the tempest, and the night
there was sudden disappearance of the sable
vlsages, scuttling of feet and the gallery
aualence was gone. Ludicrous as was the in
cldent,. the hnal touch was given when, at that
moment, Miss Poe, who was an extraordinary
character in her way, sleepiy entered the

had subsidized from his excl -ement into a
gloomy despair, and now, fixin his eyes upon
his sister, he concluded
