A ROMANCE IN SKELETON

\ calm, delightful Autumn Night
A Moons mysterious, golden Light
A Maiden at her window height,
In Robes of pure and 1eeCy White
The little Wicket Gate ajar-
A Lover tripping from afar,
With tuneful voice and light Guitar
To WOO his radiant Guiding Star.
A Lutte with soft. insidious Twang-
Oh. how the doting Lover sang
A Ball Dog, with Remorseless Fang
A Nip, a GRIP, a Deathly Pang.
A Maiden with a startled Glance
A Shrleking for Deliverance-
A kind Of weird, hilarious Dance
4 Pair OF Riven Doeskin Pants
4 Maiden fainting with Alright
A Lover in a sickening Plight
A Bull Dog chuckliug with Delight
4 wild, dellriOus Autumn Night

LoUIs J. JENNINGS, writing TO the New
York World from London, notes remark
able change in public sentiment in England
regarding the Irish question. There is i
daily growing feeling, just beginning 10 be
publicly acknowledged. that the union with
Ireland is not an unmixed blessing The
English people are beginning 10 ash what
good Ireland has ever been TO them, and to
admit the injustice OF the union between the
two countries enforced by England al the
point of the sword and with much blooished
Mr.. Jennings thinks that the only obstacle to
cutting loose from Ireland is sentiment OF
national pride. but this is mol half 50 power
full as formerly The logical sequence of the
liberal policy of late years would be the ia
dependence OF Ireland, though Gladstone
and his followers are not yet willing 10 al
nit it But the time will come, Mr.. Jen

lives long enough, will favor the relnquish

TIE nomination of Stanley Matthews as

TIE nomination of Stanley Matthews as
Judge Swayne's successor on the Supreme
bench has been SO generally expected that ii
creates no surprise. Mr.. Matthews was born
at Cincinnati in 1924, and is relative OF
Mrs. Hayes lie graduated at Kenyon Col
lege, and has served in minor judgeships,
also as United States District Attorney, and
colonel OF volunteers. He first acquired Ma
tional prominence in the Greeley movement
of 1872, and has since served short term in
the United States Senate. He will be an
honest judge; but Lis abilities are not SO
eminent as to demonstrate the propriety Of
giving Ohio (which already has the Chief
JUSTICE another place ON the Supreme
bench, nor will he be likely add anything to
the strength of the court The appointment
is a good deal criticized.

The DIFFICULTY AN OUIGROwTH or THE
CAMPAIGN.
Especial telegram 10 the Dispatch.l
PETERSBURG, August 27.-For several
days past there have been vague rumors on
the streets of an appreheuded hostile meet
Ing between Mr.. Thomas G.. Watkins, a
young lawyer and active Democratic leader
Of this city. and Mr.. Waverly n. Ragland,
one Of the editors OF the Virginian, the
Readiuster paper published here
In the issue Of the Virginida Of Tuesday
last appeared the following editorial: We
learn that Major Daniel having run short Of
ammunition to fire at Colonel Cameron has
written to one Of our 'young citizens for
a fresh supply. We would suggest to this
literary scayenger that IL he will direct his
efforts to the barrel in which he found that
copy OF the Star, about which he made so
much noise, he may possibly be rewarded
with another lind. II not IN the bar
rel somewhere in the immediate neigh
borhood, perhaps under the seat"
Haying on one or more occasions furnished
extracts from Colonel Cameron's writings
for publication, the above article was con.
strued 10y Mr.. Watkins as referring TO bin,
and he sought for the authorship, which
was acknowledged by Mr.. Ragland. 4
spondence ensued, which is reported
to baye eliminated in an agreement to leave
the city to arrange for a hostile meeting.
AT late hour last night Rev. Horace
Stringfelow, who has been visiting the city
for several days, went before Judge Mann,
Of the Hastings Court, and stating that be
bad reason to believe that Messrs. Watkies
and Rogand were about TO engage 10 duel,
asked for a warrant for their arrest.
On The affidavit made by him Judge Mann
issued warrant for the arrest OF the two
parties, and this warrant was placed in the
hands OF the sergeant tins morning about
1890 O'Clock. Mr.. Watkins was found in
his Office and was placed under bond Of
g 900 TO keep the pence for twelve months.
Mr., Ragland has so far eluded arrest,
though it is stated he was seen as late as IL
O'Clock. II is believed be has left the city.
1t is not known who his friend in the affair
IL. Mr.. Waikins's friend is said to be W..
b. Mcllwane, a young lawyer Of the city.
II is reported that when he heard Of Mr.
Watkins's arrest he said that he would set
tie the matter himself; wbereupon a war.
rant was issued for bis arrest, but the Pc
lice have not been able TO find bin. Tt c
arrest Of Mr.. Watkins, 1t Is believed, puts q
stop to the duel. The afTiir has caus ed
much excitement aud commotion In the
community by reason Of the high standing
OF the parties.
Some comment was caused To- night by
the report that Mr. Watkins bad left the
city, but it Is not thought be has any inter-
tions Of breaking bis bond.
RETURN OF Mr.. RAGLAND.
Mr.. Ragland returned from the country
and surrendered himself 10 the sergeant
about 10 O'Clock tonight, and gave security
10 the sum Of $1,000 to keep The peace.
