TIE following was written by
Rev. II. J. Stern, of Washington,
ID c., graduate of tho Louisville
High School. a copy was sent to
Mrs. Garfield, and very kindly nc
knoWledged:
God OF our fathers, Lord OF prayer.
A Nation kneels before Thee,
Thou art our refuge and our tower
W e praise Thee, we adore Tnces
Thou cans't preserve and heal alone
With tears we seek thine august Throne
q hear us, Lord, we pray thee!
Thou hast in this fair western werld
Upreared the shrines offreedon,
The flag OF liberty unfurled
And rescued us from thraldom.
In the repub lic's darkest day
Thou vast our succor and our stay,
., help US nowr we pray Iheel
Now. where our dying chieftaIn lies
Our anxious hetrts are turning;
Behold our anguifh, hear our cries,
o hear q Nations mourning,
As through the land from shore to shore
Thy people wildly Thee implore:
80, spare him Lord, we pray Thee =!
Awhile aghast, with bated breath,
The people sad were praying,
Thou hast kept him from Instant DEATH
The icy hand still staying;
Let not this fiendish deed Of shame
Forever blot our country 3 tame,
Preserve him now, we pray Thee!
In our suspense, Almighty hear
While dangers round us lower,
Fulfill our hope, remove our fear
And save him by Thy power;
Dispel the thickly shrouding gloom,
Avert the dread, impending doom
For Jesus sake, we pray Thee!

Reduction of railroad Fare.
Nashville American.

The East Tennessee & Virginia
railway have been wise enough to
reduce fares on their line to cents
a mile, one price, without eXcep-
ton. A man may pay when, how
and Us far as he will. If he goes FIVE
miles it is fifteen cents. Mileage
and round trip tickets are abolished.
This is a proper local rate and will
bring the company more money
than the old rate and the old sys-
tenn. We now suggest to the l.. 4
N. and N, G. Il st. l.. roads, to do
away with all mileage and trip
tickets and conform their rate to
that of the roads South and East.
This reduction could not have been
expected much earlier, it is expect
ed now and it is due. Moreover
it will prove an enlightened policy
on the part of the roads, adding
to their income.

An important Revenue DeClsion.

In answer to an inquiry sent to
the Commissioner of Internal Rev.

where city merchant takes an
order for distilled spirits, which he
has received from a country mer-

who fills it, and charges the amount
to the city merchant, the latter by
paying it, becomes liable as liq-
uor dealer to the country merchant,
even though the liquor dealer, fill
ing the order, should enter the
spirits on his books as sent directly
to the country observation-disclosures

A NEW song comes to us entitled,
"How They Parted" For want of
time we have not read it, but OF
course they parted in the natural
way-about 2 a. M, after kissing
each other good night at least
thirty-seven times. We'll, / guess
/ must CO. he says, heaving a sigh,
about two hours before he does go.
Then, after another hours CONVEX
sotion about one thing and another,
he presses her hand and with much
pensiveness, says he really must go
and lovingly fingers another half
hour. Then he says he didn't know
it was so late, picks up his hat and
moves toward the door, when he
puts his arm around her to prevent
her from falling in a swoOn and
makes a score of fifteen kisses in
one inning and still fingers. Then
he gives her one more kiss just for
luck and reluctantly steps down
and out into the black, lonesome
night. That is about how they
parted-without a new system has
been adopted very recently.-Er.

THE idea of postponing the col
lection of taxes on the occasion of
every partial failure of crops, is a
bad one; such pOstponement
would seriously embarreSs the
county and municipal governments
throughout the state, and would
afford no relief 10 the masses of the
people which would compensate.
The small per centage of tax will
add but little to any mans burden
and but very few people indeed
care to see pOstpOnement. The
tax must be paid some time, and
our people can afford to pay it now
as well as next fall
Chattanooga has an interest on
public debts to pay, and the city
wants and intends to pay it. The
postponement of the collection of
taxes would be a fatal blow to its
credit, and to the credit of every
county and city in the state in
like position. Such extreme meas
ures should be reserved for occasions
of sweeping and dire calamity, the
presence of which we are fortunate
ly not called upon to recognize

A New stsamship-An Unfortunate Acct

GLASGOW, June 1.-THE new Inman
steamship ''City of Rome" was successfully
launched to-day at Barrow, the ship building
company's yard on the Clyde. She is the
largest steamship ahoat excepting the Great
Eastern. She is also expected to be the
fastest transatlantic steamer in the world.
and her owners and builders hope to have her
make the trip from Queenstown to New York
in exactly seven days. Everything about her
will be of the best quality and most approved
designs. But unfortunately deplorable ac-
cident occurred just previous to the launch
ing of the steamer. Immediately before the
last blocks were knocked away and the vessel
began to slide down the ways into the water
the boiler of the donkey engine on her deck
exploded, killing four men and fearfully In
juring many others. This most unhappy
calamity spread CONSERVATION among the
spectators and the utmost sympathy was
manifested among the guests for the killed
and wounded, and a subscription for those
killed and for the relief of the wounded will

WASHINGTON, June 14.-Major Brotherton,
Seventh infantry, commandant at Fort Blu

seemed perfectly willing to be forwarded to
the settlement of Yates.
