The oldest city in the world.

Damascus is the Oldest city in the
world. Tyre and Sidon have crum-
bleG on the shore; Baalbec is a ruin;
Palmyra is buried in the desert; Nine
yah and Babylon have disappeared
from the Tigris and Euphrates. Da-
mascus remains what it was before the
days Of Abraham-a center of trade
and travel-an inland of verdure on
the desert; "a presidential capital"
with material and sacred associations
extending through thirty centuries.
1t was near Damascus that Saul, of
Tarsus, saw the light above the
brightness of the sun; the street
which is called Strait, in which it was
said he prayed" still runs through
the city.
The caravan comes and goes as it
did a thousand years ago. There is
still the sheik, the ass and the water
wheel. The merchants Of the Eu-
pirates and Mediterranean still occu-
py these with 1.-THE multitude of their
wares" The city which Mohammed
surveyed from a neighboring height,
and was afraid to enter, because it
was given to mar to have but one
paradise, and for his part he was re-
solved not to have it in this world" is
to-day what Julian called the EYE Of
the east" as it was in the time Of
Isaiah, the head of Syria"

The SLyIark I'm America.

A communication in the New York
Sun states that third attempt is to be
made to acclimate the English sky
lark in this country. The song Of the
skylark is something that Shelley has
immortalized in the most exquisite of
edes, and is indescribably sweet, and
yet we have no opportunity to hear it
in this country. About forty years ago
a gentleman released about forty sky
larks in the meadows that are now
occupied by east New York. They
were gradually crowded out by the
entertainments of the city, their nests
were broken up and their songs heard
no more. Another experiment later
was also unsuccessful. Mr.. Isaac M.
England, however, last year secured
two hundred of these birds in Eng
land. Twenty-Five of them died on
the passage TO this country, but the
others arrived December -. Some
escaped, and others died here. Henry
Hales, of Ridgewood, N. j., has the
remainder in charge, and they will be
given their liberty in a few weeks.

has been iegalized by after proceedings.
To show that this is only q pretense,
why did they not accept this much
abused Mccullough bill, which. if |
remember correctly, and | think | do,
proposed 3 per cent for ten years, 4
per cent for twenty years, and . per
cent for thirty. They might have
tried it for the ten years, and if they
found its provisions too onerous, have
thrown it overheard at the end Of that
time, and with, perhaps, the consent
OF the creditors. They would be pay
ing no more than they were willing to
pay, and it would not have interfered
with their boasted claims to readjust
at any future time.
No one could swear that the state
could not pay 4 per cent, and it was
worth the experiment to try their own
3 per cent proposition to ascertain the
honest capabilities of the state.
But | say this is all pretense. What
the readjusters want is utter repudia-
ton. They want more, or rather
their leaders do, and that is political
preferment. These leaders want to go to
congress, occupy fat places by the help
of the negroes, and they make the is
sue of the state debt their hobby to
ride into power, which they never
could do in the folds of the party. l
have watched the growth of this ele-
ment FOR years. They remind me Of
the story of the lion and the fox.
When the fox first saw the great lion
he trembled for fear and almost died.
The second time he saw him he made
so bold as to look at him steadily and
survey HIM calmly. The third time
he became so audacious as to walk up
to him and enter into familiar CONVEX
SO with the readjusters.
When they first manifested themselves
they talked of 6 per cent, and Malone
himself came out in a cautious letter
avowing himself a six per center.
Now they have grown so bold as to
make a familiar friend of reputation,
and scout as absurdest Of absurd
tiles the urgencies of faith.
The lion of reputation may yet be
the death of them however.

A private letter announces that Miss
Clara Louise kellogg will soon re.
turn to America. Her mother has
been i'll for a long time; so i'll that
once her life was given up as lost.
And Miss Kellogg, with true flial de-
votion, relinquisnes her European
tour for the sake of her mother, who
is homesick and worn out from long
illness, and likewise DESTROYS to return
to her native land. Miss kellogg,
with her mother, is now IN France,
where they are enjoying the salubrious
climate, which greatly benefits Mrs.
Kellogg's physical condition. Miss
Kellogg's tour has been a brilliant
success from beginning to end. She
has improved her'time in studying the
methods, dramatic and musical, of the
lea ling prima donnas of Europe, and
with benefits no doubt. The musical
public of the great European capitals
have praised and hattered her. In
fine, she has been successful every
where, and the result of her tour and
her study will add to the beauty other
voice and the grace Of her style. 1t
ought to be gratifying to Americans
that the fine talents OF their favorite
singer has been so fully recognized
abroad.

Northern Capital En- Route south

WASHINGTON, April IA gov
eminent officer who has been engaged
in experimenting and directing river
and harbor improvements in the south
for some years past, said to a Star re
porter to-day, that during a tour
through five or six southern states,
from which he has just returned, he
met several parties from the north
looking out locations for cotton mills
in the south; that he met among 9th
ers a father and son, large owners Of
factories at Fall River, Mass, who
said they intended to remove their
machinery to the south and build a
large cotton mandatory at some eli
gible point in that section. This Off
Ger states that numbers of northern
men have visited and examined the
canal in the Tennessee river con-
structed by the government, which
would supply water power for scores
