He dies our noble statcsifiGn dies-
Killed by u filthy " housing OWL"
Whom all the. world must cen despisc,
And crave deep damning for his soul
Our honord, basely butchcr'd Lord,
The nations head the nations pride,
Illus fallen tllrough>n crime abhorr'd-
Has bowed his noble head and died!
And now his corsc Is borne away
To rest In -leep TINT wakes no more,
In Clcvcland's lovely cemetery,
ON grand Lake Er e's beauteOus shore.
The nations hcart Is filed with grief
The nations eyes with burning tears
But these cannot produce relief,
Our pain must lust through weary years
How can our crush'd hearts Ger forget
This rUrest, kindost, best OF mcn3
No no, us vain, nor can VIC hope
To lpbk upon his like aguinn
His ydHhtW life wits known to all
AS husband, parent, dtttious son, -,
And to his friends both great and small,
He thus II spoucss record won.
His fame hud crossed the briny deep
And made abroad an honorod name,
And kings and princes met to weep
When death into that household came,
And royal England's honored head
Sends words sympathy and love
To her who mourns u husband dead,
And thus feeling friendship prove.
And potentates In every land,
In every cline their feelings show;
They, join in heart, they join In hand,
TO lessen that dear widows woe.
Such words to come from such source
Must fall like balm upon her heart
Must MD to check deep sorrows course
And mitigate the fearful smart.
But nnught can heal wound like hers,
Twill blced-'twill blccd.-'twill waste
her life
Twill sup vitality-aiid then
The grave alone Will end the strife.
And his nged mother-Ah what grief
Is thrown upon that mothers heart
No mortal hand can give relief
NO human power cure the smart
That dear old being who In youth,
by prccept and example both,
Impressed her boy with Tore oftruth
To learn which he was nothing 10th.
She taught his in FAINT lips TO say
The prayer OF Christ Mt morn and eve
She learned his youthful feet the way
He never more in life must leave
She prayed heavens richest blessings down
And would have died to save that son!
B ut ho Is gone-no lovc.could save
His wasted form lies In the grave
There let his head forever rest;
There let his bosom quiet keep;
Ills dying bed was calmly blest-
lilo had no fear of that last sleep,
For he shall rise from the dark tomb,
with lustrc brighter. far shall shines
Revive with ever.during bloom,
Safe from Diseases and decline "

Railroad Accident I'm virginia.

The fast mail train bound south and n
northern-bound regular mail train of the
Atlantic Coast Line collided yesterday
evening near Chester, ON the Richmond &
Petersburg Railroad. Both engines and the
baggage and mail cars of each train were
badly smashed. Fortunately no one was
fatally hurt. Postal Agents Rouke and
Hawkins were severely hurt and others
and fireman of both trains saved them
selves by jumping off. The accident is at
tributed to disregard of orders on the part
of the conductor and engineer of the north
ern-bound train, which should have re-
manned at Chester until the fast mail train
had passed.

Poisoned Cnbbnacr.

The CRITIC has note of warning to the
lovers of cabbage: it is to beware of pois-
Oning The long-continued drought has
had its effect upon this, as upon other
vegetables. Worms have invaded the
patches and have made sad havoc. For the
purpose of killing the worms many of the
farmers in this vicinity, who supply the
markets of Washington, have literally
sprinkled the cabbages with Paris green,
which remains among the leaves, and can
not all be eliminated even by the most
careful cleansing and washing. The eating
of these cabbagcs is sure to cause sickness,
if not death, and the people should DO care
full of whom they make thein purchases.
We have been informed that some of the
farmers have stated that they did not in
tend to use the cabbages themselves, but
would send them to market The Food
Inspector should exercise unusual vigilance
over all of these vegetables brought to
market.

COltish Days.

As l said goodbye at the station
In u little country town,
And kissed away the tear drops
While her hair fell bewitchlngly down,
And she looked at me so sweetly
And said: you will not forgct".-
| swore to her I'd be faithful,
And called her II dear little pct.
Then the train bore me back 10 the city
To busily toll each day;
There was scarcely time TO remember
My girl so far away.
But when the day was ended,
And l sat In silence alone,
Then l thought of the little daisy
should claim some day rs my own.
Three nights bore up Drayely
AS ! thought of the time TO come;
Three nights tried TO be cheerful,
But was only silent and glum.
And then upon the fourth night
gave my mnstache twill,
Put ON my killing necktie
And-called ON another girl.
-Whitelaw Reid.

1t is reported that scheme for establishing

sanction of the Sultan. 1t is supposed that
many of that race who have suffered from
persecution in various Continental States
will embrace this opportunity of settling in
peace in the land of their fathers. Com
menting upon this report, the Manchester
Examiner says; ut may be doubted
whether Hebrews of the modern generation

Recent English papers announce the death
of DIR. James Quinn, Roman Catholic bishop
of Brisbane, Queensland, at the age of 62.
The London Times says of him that "hc
was man Of considerable talents, readiness,
and polished manners, but his health was
Indifferent and he was not fluent speaker
nor very successful administrator, having
been involved on several occasions in diff
culties with clerical and lay members of his
flock, and he seems to have brought to the
management of his colonial diocese ideas
and views which would certainly have pro-
vOkcd resistance in Ireland. More than
once, also, he put forward prctcnsions in
ecclesiastical matters, and especially about
education. which showed want of appre-
citation of tho spirit of the times and of the
conditions of colonial life, and which en-
broiled both himself and the Roman
Catholic body in Queensland with the gov
ernment and the majority of the colonists."

Woman is like the reed which bends to

it.
He that does good for goods sake seeks
neither praise nor reward, though sure of
both at last.
Strong as our passions arc they may DO

The moral cement of all society is true
virtue, it unitcs and preserves, while vice
separates and destroys.
The first time man deccives you the
iault is his; If he deccives you the second
time the fault is your own.
We appreciate no pleasures unless we are
occasionally deprived Of them. Restraint
is the golden rule of enjoyment.
Civility is in itself fortune, for a courte-
GUS man always succeeds in life, even when
persons of greater ability sometimes fail.
Good temper is like a sunny day; it sheds
brightness over everything; it is the
sweetencr of toll and the soother of dis
quiotude.
Every man carries about with him n
tombstone, if he will make use of it, to
distinguish substantial gold from superb

there is greater pleasure in receiving
