seriously injured on the Alexandria and Fred

OF the number, and he foil from the bridge to
the ground, nearly seventy feet below. He
was near the end of the bridge, and struck the

The Celestial city.

Far away beyond the river,
The celestial city lies,
Bathed in light and robed In glory,
Never seen by mortal eyes.
Gates Of pearl OF snowy whiteness,
Left by angel hands ajar,
Walls Of jasper set with jewels,
Each aglow as 'twere star.
There is built the royal palace,
There is set Mcssiahs throne;
No sunlight there nor moonlight
It's light the Holy lone;
There the angels ever worship,
And unite In holy song,
And the ceaseless tide OF music
Rolls the golden streets along.
There martyrs and confessors
Wear the crown and bear the palm,
And ever chant the triumphs
OF Christ, the martyr Lamb;
And there in purest raiment-
Raimcnt purified by blood
Near the throne and by the altar,
Stand tho "royal priests" of God.
There is set the Marriage Supper
Feast Of Joy and feast OF love-
While the covenant arch of emerald
CLOVIS the festal scene above;
And they who have been bidden
To the Lambs own festal board,
Take the "new wine Of the kingdom"
In the presence of their Lord.
o City of Salvation
We would thy glory sec,
And share the blessed franchise
That makes thy children free.
o Jesus, King Of Zion
Come seal us as Thine own;
Give us each a grand translation
From Thy footstool to Thy throne.

The Suit Against the w. d; G. R.R. Co

The Suit Against the w. a &. R.R. Co.
The case of Charles Lemont against the
Washington & Georgetown Railroad Company,
that has gone through three trials and ver-
dict each time, was before Justice Macarthur
In the Circuit Court this morning on motion
to set the case down for hearing. Messrs.
Hine, Kinkle aud Mcpherson were the counsel
for the complainant and Colonel Totten for
the company
The suit was originally commenced In the
year 1877, and was for damages received by
being elected from a car. The third verdict
was for $15,0 900 for the defendant, and an ap-
peal was taken to the General Term. Aftertt
had been argued there, and before the opinion
was delivered, the president OF the company,
without the knowledge or consent OF Colonel
Totten, the counsel, met the plaintin In New
York, and upon paying him $4,000, secured
from him an order dismissing the case.
The question now made by the counsel of
the plaintiff is that they referred the case,
successfully prosecuted 1t for several years,
and that their services were lien that could
not be destroyed by secret and collusive
settlement between the president Of the road
and the plaintiff in the suit.
AS O matter OF fact, the attorneys for the
complainant not only have not received any
fee for their services, but no return for the
money advanced by them In the prosecution OF
His Honor thought that the Court would not
prevent a party from settling case, but IL
was the duty OF the Court to see that 1t was
properly done and not to the detrlment OF its
own officers. In this instance he did not
think IL the Court had been made conversant
with the case 1t would have permitted the
discontinuance to be allowed. If there was
the slightest indication that fraud had been
perpetrated upon the attorneys, then the
Court ought 10 step In and should decide
against the defendants. He further
held that the attorneys for the plaintiffs were
entitled to receive 33 per cent? the amount
they were swindled out OF by the worthless de
fendant and president of the railroad com
pany. He directed that an order be made tba
unless tho company pay to the counsel within
thirty days 33 per cent. OF $1,000 the case
must be retired,

Their object was evidently absolute malice,
