The above appeared in last weeks
Banner FOR the purpose of influencing
members Of the Legislature TO vote 70
repeal the corporation charter. The
gentleman referred TO IN the article Is
Mr.. Il. ". Osment, a prominent lawyer
Of the firm OF Gaut, Osment & Gaut OF
Nashville. Mr.. Osment, assisted by
Mr.. j. IL. Gaut, OF this city, did write
out the present charter of Cleveland.
Both parties are known in this commu-
nifty, where they have spent their lives,
to be heightened gentlemen and prOmi-
nent lawyers. Neither one have ever
been charged with any misconduct,
much less ever having been sent to the
penitentiary for house burning. They
are known by the bar from one end Of
the State to the other, and no men
stand higher in the profession than
they. 1t has come to a high pass that
our best citizens must be branded as
''house burners" by such an old repro
bate as the editor of the Banner. No
one knows better than the editor Of the
Banner that the above Is a falsehood,
from beginning to end. Cleveland was
incorporated at the close of the war 10
keep such men as the editor of the Bar
ner from being hung by infatuated SOL
diers, whose wives and children he had
insulted. And now for him to show
his ingratitude TO the men who saved
him is only in accordance with his
brutal nature.

Is there 40 place on the face Of earth
Where charity Gwclleth, where virtue

Is there no place on earth where a

All search the wide world wherever

There is no open door for the money

Go look In the hall where the chandc-

Drives of with lis splcndOr the dark

Where the rich hanging velvet, in

And mirrors Of silver take up and re-

Go there in your patches, and find If
you can,
A welcoming smile for the moneyless

Go look in your church OF the cloud
reaching spire,
Which gives back to the sun his same
look Of fire,
Where the arches and columns are gor-

And the walls seem as pure as a soul

Go down the long aislc-see the rich

In the pomp and the pride Of their

Walk down in your patches and find If

Go look to your Judges in dark flowing

With the scales wherein law weighoth
quietly down;
Where he nUwHs Oh the weak and
smiles on the strong,
And Furnishes righI While lie justilics

Where jurors their lips Oh the Bibic

Go look in the banks where Mdmmon

Where, safe from the hands Of the star

Lies pile upon pile Of the glittcring ore;
walk up TO the counter-ah, there you

Till yom limbs have grown old and

HAVE HOPE.
BY FATHER RYAN.

The shadow of the mountain falls athwart the
lowly plain,
And the shadow Of the cloudlet hangs above
the mountains head
And the highest hearts and lowest, wear the
shadow oil some pain,
And the smile is scarcely fitted ere the on
guished tear is shed.
For no eyes have there been ever without wea-
ry tear,
And that breast cannot DO human that never
heavcd a sigh
For without the dreary winter there has never
been n year,
And the tompests hide their terrors in the
calmest summer day.
So this dreary life is passing-and we move
amid its maze,
And We grope along together, half in dark
ness, half in light:
And our hearts arc often hardened by the mys-
teries of our ways
Which are never all in shadows and never
wholly fright.
And our dim eyes ask q beacon and our weary
feet guide,
And our hearts of all lifc's mysteries seek the
meaning and the keys
And cross CLEANS Ger our pathway, ON it
hangs the cruciied,
And He answers all our ycarnings ty the whis-
per, "Follow Me-"

LIsrENING.-To listen we'll is a most

beyond an accomplishment. 1t takes a
great man to make good listener. The
ordinary hindranccs to good listening are
very considerable, such as the desire to talk

inaccuracy-if one may use such an expires.
sion-of most men in listening.
But there is something which prevents
good listening in Il much more subtle way
and to 4 much more dangerous extent, than
any Of the above named hindrances. 1t is
this: AS soon as you begin to give utter
ancc to some sentiment or opinion, narrate
some story, declare some fact, you will find
that your hearer, in nine cases out of ten,
strikes at once n mental attitude in refer
ence to what you say. lie receives it as a
friend, or as foe, or as a critic, or as an
advocate, or as judge. Now, all these
characters may afterward he fairly taken
up; but the first thing is to listen, ie 1 may
say so, out of character-to be bona fdc
listener, and nothing more. This requires
some Of the simplicity of greatness. 1t in
dicates the existence, too, of that respect
which really great men have for other men,
and for truth. In short, l maintain that

CLOUDS OF MosoUIToEs.-.Tho other day
group OF longshoremcn stood on the pier
in Lewes, Del, waving their hats and hand
kerchicis around their heads as though
filled with enthusiasm awakened by some
cause that was not then apparent. But
when the passengers in the or Dominion
steamer landed they began waving hats and
handkcrchiets vigorously. The cause of
these demonstrations was cloud Of mos.
quitoes AT the railway station in Lewes
there were fires of pennyroyal and other
weeds burning in front of the windows to
drive out the insects, and the passengers
were glad to get into the smoke and enjoy
a moments immunity from the annoyance
At Rchoboth Station, on the Junction
ana Broakwater Railway, the mosquitoes
were more numerous than in Lewes The
negroes in the peach orchards had their
heads covered with old sheets, with holes
cut through for their eyes. The men
around the depot and the passengers in
waiting had their heads covered with mos
quito nets like wells. 1t was impossible to
purchase piece of mosquito netting in
the neighborhood. While the stages were
waiting a man was stationed at tho head of
each horse to hold the nearly frantic ami
mails. At Rehoboth Beach the mosquitoes
were thicker than at that station. There
were ut the beginning of the week over
four hundred guests at the Bright House,
and on Friday not twenty five rcmainod.-
They had been driven away by the mosqu-
toes. Persons walking in the streets were
nearly obscurcd by the clouds of mosuui-
toes around them. by bringing the hands
together handful of mosquitoes could be
caught at a single sweep. The ladies' ligh,
dresses were almost black, so thickly were
they covered. The hotel proprietors were
so pestered by the insects that they seemed
not to care whether their guests remained
or not Double nets on the windows and
darkened rooms gave partial relief, but the
mosquitoes made their way evcrywhere-
1t was only by having negro over each
person at the table that the guests could
partakc Of their meals.
1t is said that the winds and muegy
weather brought them from the South Jer-
sey and Delaware swamps, and that the pest
would probably be ended with strong wind
from the ocean. Sailors say that they met
the mosquitoes many miles out at sea
something they never before experienced
Nearly all the places along the coast
were similarly infested, but mono of them
to the same extent as the northern part of
Delawarc.-N Y. Ecenimy 7cIeyram

SUMMERS GOING.

Leaves are shrinking on the trees
Who're the nests are hidden;
There's hush among the bees,
Now to roam forbidden
There's the silk of corn that shows
Faded tangles blowing
So that everybody knows
Darling Summers going.
There's the mist that haunts the night
Into morning sailing,
Leaving iilmy webs of light
On the grasses trailing;
There's the fierce red sun that glows,
Through the vapor showing;
So that everybody knows
Darling Summers going.
There arc insects wings that CLEAN,
Locusts shriliy calling:
There arc silcnccs that seem
Into sadness falling;
There is not another rose
But the sweet-brier blowing;
So that everybody knows
Darling Summers going.
Breathe but softest little sigh,
Child, for vanished roses
For each season, going by,
Something sweet discloscs
And if in your heart has grown
Truth to fairer blowing,
Summer then will be your own,
Spite of Summers going.

The LONGEST BEARD.-A citizen of
Gaffneys, S. c., who saw statement pub.
lished some days ago concerning the man
in Michigan who has Il beard seven feet
long, comes forward with story almost us
good. The proprietor Of an extraordinary
long hirsute appcndagc is Mr.. a. ID. Ray
of that town. Mr. Ray is represented os
very modest, unassuming man, so much so
with a reference to this matter of beard
that even his neighbors do not know that
that he can justly claim such distinction. His
beard measures five feet four inches How
does he concealit.? He kccpsit plated, rolled
in oil silk. and under his shirt collar, with
the upper beard SO arranged as to conceal
the plaits. Only few persons have been
permitted to look upon this wonderful beard
but our informant once had that pleasure,
and he assures us that it was wonderful
sight to see man six feet high with beard
to his very toes 1t is his babit to unfurl it
every Sunday morning, carefully comb and
plait and return it to its nesting place -
The owner Of this wonderful beard says
he has not shaved since the war, ard that
his beard just keeps on growing.-M Mar-
