A Valentine.
Little iasses, iair and fine!
Who will be nv valentine

n NuHChsknos
Little lasses, fair and fine!
who will be my valentine
On this morn
Pm forlorn!
Eyery bird has found his mate
Must mine be harder iatef
Many maidens near and far
Bright and sweet and gracious are;
Bell and May
Are fair, they say;
Sue has shining goldeu curls,
Kate's the prettiest of girls'
Peachy cheeks and golden hair,
These are very fine and fair
But my lass
Must surpass
Ali her mates in something more!
Hear the charms that adore:
Red lips, parting in smile;
Little tongue that's free from guile;
Little ieet
That are feet
Older people to obey
. And to school trip blithe away
Dress rs neat as neat can be,
Tresses combed back tidily.
Never pout
Or saucy fiout
Doth my darling one Disgrace
She is iull OF gentle grace.
II she'll have me Tor her love
will ever faithful prove,
All our lie
Well have no strife
For when beauty fades away
Kindness and good-temper stay!
May her lite be bright and fair,
Free from pain and pressing care;
On her head
Be blessings shed
May the world grow every minute
Better for her living in H.
Cupid, although you are blind,
Such lass hope you'll find!
Take with you
My billet doux,
And this tiny golden ring
Tuck them safe beneath your wing.
Should she deign 10 read this page,
Bid her send her name and age
Unto me
Speedily! 6.
She shall have this heart OF mine,
I'm her faithful valentine.

TROUBLE IN IRELAND.

Ireland is again threatened with revo-
luton. The crisia is very grave, and a
conflict between the Land League and
the Imperial Government may occur Mt
any time. England has ordered three
regiments of the regular army to the
country, and with the excited and in.
famed feelings of the Irish tenants
against the landed proprietors q conflict
is not unlikely. A number Of the agents
of the landowners have already been
murdered, and the determination and
boldncss Of the leaders of the Lcugue
increase with the threats of the English
government to use the army in their
subjugation. The League has its gov
crnment and courts, and these are Tery
popular with the people, and yet they
cannot occupy the place Of the govern.
ment and courts established by the Brit.
ish government. Ireland evidently de.
sires home-rulc, but England docs not
intend that it shall be had, and unless
Ireland was able, which she is not, to
obtain it by the sword, it is not likely to
be realized for years 10 come. That the
Irish people have suffered and are now
enduring great oppression from the unjust
and oppressive acts Of the Imperial gov
ernmcnt is undeniablc. But how is this
oppression to be removed? It is the
oppression of the strong of the wcak, and
every effort at forcible resistance will
only increase the heavy burdens already
heaped upon the weaker party. How.
ever strong may be our sympathics with
the people of Ireland in their demand 0i
the English government for reformation
we do not see any benefit to be derived
by them from the present attitude oftheir
leaders towards the government. The
English press admit that remedial lcgisla-
tion is necessary for Ireland, but that un-
der existing circumstances it is not to he
thought of, MS it would be offering n
bribc 10 the resistance of lawful author
ity, and the sentiment of the government
at present is evidently that coercion should
be reBorted to. Ireland has nothing
for which to hope from n conflict with
the British government, and it is to be
hoped that the leaders Of the League will
go moderate their course tliat conflict
of arms will not be precipitated, and that
the country viii not be again subjected
to the dire calnmities which similar ut.
tcmpts in the past have brought upon
the people.

County. Anderson, s. c.:
StR-I In response to your favor of 9th
inst, have the hUnor to say: that the
Railroad tax alluded to Is collected by the
County Treasurer under the direction and
control of the Comptroller General, under

that the usual State nnd County taxes are
collected.
The time having been extended to the

ofthe Railroad tax must be dealt with in the
same manner as other deiaulters
The card published by Mr.. Bowen docs

You will, therefore, instruct tho County
Treasurer to proceed as usual in the matter
of tho collection OF said tax.

KINGSTON, Jamaica, April 21.-General
Alexis Nordbcn is enteavoring to get up an
other revolution at Port au Prince, but the
government has put him in prlse:. General
Salmon, the President, at the head of large
army is marching south. His purpose is a
mystery.
The Jamaica pastures are burned up and
cattle are being driven from one point to an
other i'll search OF water. In the high lands
stdHn water is being sold at fifty cents per four
gallons, and has to be carried miles on the
heads of the purchasers.
There is an epidemic among the cattle Oh
the estates and pastures on the north side, and
many have died. A succession of fires de-
stroyed the cane fields and grass lands.

New York Bullion: awe wish to call

Tribune and World are essentially newspa-
pers. They, like others of our leading dailies,
publish for the thousands, and they do not
they want. They have extraordinary facili-
ties for ascertaining what the public wish to
hear about; SO when we see them suddenly
establishing department for mining, an
honor they do not accord to any other indus

California must have breathed u sigh of
incarceration was made public. He has been
directly and lndirecLlY the cause Of all the
evils which have lately befallen the Golden
State, and now that the public peace Of san
Francisco is assured by his Imprisonment in
the House of Correction, it may be resonably
hoped that capital will take courage, that the
characteristic energy OF the people will revive,
and that the od-time prosperity will return.
1t is really difficult to imagine that the incen-
diary harangues Of o fellow of Kearney's
stripe should endanger the general welfare OF
a whole State, and that he could muster a
corporal's guard to listen to his TRADES; yet
it must be admitted that he was one of tie
most successful aetators of the times, and
succeeded in attracting following over which
lie exercised the most despotic control.
lie assumed TO be liberator of the people, and
by appealing to the blind prejudces of the
most deprayed and ignorant succeeded in
gathering to his standard rabble Of desper
ate chara ters whom he used to terrify law
abiding citizens. The sole objects of his
wrath seemed to be men of wealth and posi-
ton, and these he assailed on every possible
occasion with the grossest abuse. No other
man ever villitied the American people to
such an extent as this loud-mouthed brag-
gart, and if any man ever deserved hanging
for plotting against the public peace,
Denis Kearney is that man. For the
first few years of his incendlary ca
reer he was careful to keep within
the bounds of law, and said nothing for which
he could be legally arrested, but as accessions
were added to his hoodlum adherents from
the lowest ranks of society he became bolder
in his utterances and hurled his vtupera-
ton and defiance at the officers OF the law
He even went to the extent of placardlng
the streets with threats to village and burn
The City, and for time it seemed that he was
complete master of the situation. But the
respectable element were fiually aroused to q
proper sense of their danger, for it became
apparent either that the agltator must be sup
pressed Or that all hope for the future pros
perity Of California must be abandoned. The
law abiding citizens acted as one man,
and the general sentiment favored the imme-
diate arrest Of the asitator at any risk.
1t was their only course 10 save their lives
and property, and with some show of force
in case Kearney should resist civil process he
was arrested and held for trial. The result
of his examination IS detailed in our dis
patches. He Vas found guilty of threatening
and disturbing the public peace, and was very
properly sentenced to term Of imprisonment
in the house of correction, like the common
convict that he is. In any other country lie
would have been hanged long ago.

The Mining dnd Scientific Press says there
seems to be no escape IRON the deathike still
ness which rests upon stock transactions in
San Francisco. The leading brokers are not
making expenses, and the fluctuations in
prices have been so meagre that they have
not afforded line for the profit. When a
little squirt occurs it suddenly falls to pieces
because the owners are so anxious to get a
slight advance ana put their stock on the
market the instant there is the slightest indi-
cation of a rise.

county are John Rose and daughter, Richard

and three members OF the Scott family.
The loss to property in the county is est-

Morgan county, ITS track being strewn with
demolished houses, barns and other farm

Victoria as a Wife.

Theodore Martin has omitted some of the
minor episodes of domestic life of the Queen
and Prince Albert, which would, PERHAPS
have cost him his spurs, had he related them
in his "Lfe of the Late Prince Consort." :"
When the august pair were first married al
though the match was one of love, at least
on the Queens part, her Majesty could not
always control her temper, and On the occa-
sion of one Of those tritling Quarrels which
occur even in the best regulated families she
threw a teacup at the Princes head. He,
excessively indignant; retired to his apart
ments and locked the door
The Queens anger having somewhat
abate1, she thought him sufficiently punished,
and knocked at his door. TO the question,
':Who's there ?" she replied in imperial tones,
''The Queen Prince Albert did not answer,
and she went away. 'By-anl-by she thought
she would try again, and to the ''Who S
there ?' answered ''Victora.' Again there
was complete silence, and she again retired.
With the preservation characteristic OF a
woman alarmed at the trouble to come, size
determined to try third time, and in re-
sponse to the ''Who's tEere?" replied, sob
bngly: 'Iour own loving Wife" This
brought Prince Albert to terms and peace was
re-estabished. IL is said there was no more
teacup throwing in the happy family.
Yet Victoria always remained all eXacting
wife and never allowed her spouse what is
6Ourge0tsenlent known as q latch-key. As
the Prince presided at many public dinners,
it was often close to midnight before he could
possibly reach Windsor, and he had accord
ingly always storm to face for excepting late
hours" Finally the Queen ordered The Cas-
tie gates to be closed at 10:30 p. IN, and the
now much monuinented husband was locked
out, if lie happened to he behind time
