But J know that dnrlinH tones wero bid
Beneath that little cotlln.ltd.

With folded hands by that form Of clAyl

Meath the drooplng lash and aching I'D;
And know her Ito. ami check and brow.

know that some thinRs were hid away,
The crimson frock. and w,nrplrRs gay;
The little sock ami half-wurn shoe;
The cap with tts plume. and t'sscls blue:
And an empty crib, with Its covers spread.
As white ~ the face Of tho Enile!eas dead.
TITS little grave; but oh have caro-.
For 4 world wide hopes arc hurled there;
And ye pcrtaps IN coming roars

Of the respite given. The life or death
ofthe cabinet depends upon the prompt
ful6llment Of its promises. 1t is said
the plan for replacing Dufaure in the
ministry by the cabinet, which would
pave the way for the elevation of Gam
beta to the presidency in 1880, was
formed Immediately after his speech
at Ravens. Louis Jules Denamadie,

Ex-Governor James d. Porter
and family left here yesterday. for
their home in Paris. Adjutant Cen
eral Charles d. Porter will probably
leave for home to-day.
There was a little economical cpl
sOde in the House, yesterday. Mr..
Buchanan argued that the House bill
requiring every member to purchase
his own stationery, ought to be passed.
While cutting down the salaries of
Others they ought to take something
out of their own pockets. 1t had al
ready been said that the present gen
ralassemblyw was a poppycock legisla-
ture, and they must show that they
were willing TO do for themselves what
they had proposed to do for others.
Mr.. Wiltze said that they had come
to the legislature to bear whatever of
Odium might attach to their offices.
just as some men had to bear the odi
um of passing into another institution
in this locality. Laughter. Wheth-
er the legislature was called poppy
cock or what else laughter, it
would be a penny wise and found fool
ish act on the part of the house to pass
such bill. If every man had to go
down in town after stationery there
would bo ten times more time lost to
the State than the stationery would
cost.
The bill didn't pass, and the State
will continue to furnish stationery for
the use of the solons, as heretofore.

The National Militia Convention
which closed its two days session in
New York on Friday was significant.
In the first place there were repre-
sentatives present from fifteen States,
five of them Southern States. Louisi-
ana was represented by General Beau
, regard, Virginia by Congressman Ord
way, who is also general; North and
South Carolina by their adjutant gen
erals, and Missouri by three promi-
nent officers in her militia. These
men took part in the discussion OF
plans to increase the efficiency of the
militia and make it national, and dis
played a knowledge and interest in
the subject that were not surpassed by
any other delegates. There were over
$4,000 men represented in the conven-
ton, and the result of the delibera-
tions was the framing of bill which
the men most interested in making
the national militia efficient think will
result in the desired end if passed by
congress.

The annual statement of the debt
Of Philadelphia city, made public
few days since, shows a total indebted.
ness Of s71 ,S35. l0l, the funded debt
being $6l ,092,64l The funded part
of the debt decreased during last year,
S628,9O0. The assets, mainly in the
sinking fund, is $l7,259 OS9, making
the net debt $5S,S3l, ,O93. The econo-
my practiced in the city's expendi-
lures enabled the debt to be reduced
during the year fully $1,0OO,0OO, and
this on tax rate of 2.15. The
exposition is pronounced the best that.
has been shown for a score of years as
well as the first that the people have
had during that period that has not
exceeded the years income. The
cash receipts, derived almost entirely
from taxation, last year, amounted to
$l4,555, ,62O.38, and the disbursements
were $l4,596, 1913, of which $3,749,-
1886 was interest on the city's debt.
Of the tax levy 20 per cent. was the
average amount uncollected. The
amount levied last year was $l2,139,-
1861, and the amount collected, 49,
294,26495. The amount Of outstand-
ing taxes is $8,S37, ,25934, of which
one-half is set down as uncollectable.
The disbursements during the year
included $l1 ,228,O6686 upon jjudg-
ments, warrants of previous years,
sinking funds and the actual cost of
conducting the municipal depart
ments, the latter expense being 81, ,16l,- :
7O4.Sl. The disbursements were
1907 6O7.87 less than in 1877. The
same wisdom to guide future councils
would soon pay off the floating debt
entirely. The pay as you go system is
recommended; also the funding of
the present floating debt into Al. per
cent. 1890 bonds. The funded debt
has increased from $l6,OOO,OO0 in 1854
to SCI, ,72l ,54L7O in 1879.

a Dangerous TorpOr.

Torpor or inactivity Of tho kidneys is seri,
ously dangerous to those organs, since it i.
the precedent Of diseases which destroy their
substance and endanger life. This sluggish
ness may be overcome by stimulating them,
not excessively, but moderately, an effect prc-
duced by IIostetter's Stomach Bitters, gen
eral invigorant and Alternative, possessing di-
uretic properties Of no common order. The
impetus which this admirable % medicine gives
to their cyacuative function counteracts any
tendency to congestion which mqy exist in
their tissues. Both they and their associate
organ, the bladder, are inrigorated as well as
gently stimulated by the Bitters, which exerts
a kindred influence upon the stomach, liver
and bowels, nd by strengthening the system,
enables i to withstand malarial epidemics, 10

"WRITE me down an ass" That was
the injunction of the ancient Dogberry
His request may well be echoed by any
man of the present day, who, when suf-
fering from the intolerable complaint,

Gilt Edge Tonic. II never fails in mala-
rial or bilious disorders and it is pleasant,
safe and efficient. It is gentle and pleas
ing invigorant for delicate females and all
who have been weakened by sickness.
