George d. Prentice was, perhaps, bets
known as wit, punster and political
writer, busfrom his facle pen flowed al
so the sentime ntal and the beautiful. The
following description has lost none of it's
freshness and beauty:
about two years ago took up my
residence in country village in the
Eastern part of New England. Soon nf
ter my arrival became acquainted with
young lady, apparently about seven
teen years of age. She had lost the idol
of her hearts purest love, and The shad-
ows of deep and holy memories were rest

brow

be admired. Her brow was garlanded
with young years sweetest flowers, and
her sunny tresses were hanging beauti

floating. unearthly grace, that the be will
dered gazer looked almost 20 see her fade
away into the air like the creature of .
pleasant dream. She smiled, but there

me its mourn fui beauty was but the re.

heavily down, as If struggling TO repress
the tide Of agony that was bursting up
from her hearts urn. She looked AS IL
she could have left the scene of festisisy

her forehead upon the fresh, green earth
aud poured out her stricken soul gush af-

fountain of purity and life.

of whom | have spoken is dead. The
close of her life was as calm as the sigh

By the following special despatch from
Washington to the Louisville Evening
Post, il will be seen that Kentucky does
her full share towards the maintenance
of the Government:
Kentucky has three collection districts,
whose internal revenue taxes, paid last
year, exceed 81 900 600 each, and Rggre-
gate, over nine millions OF dollars. Of
these Louisville stands at the head, having
paid in round umbers, S3,500.O0O dur
ing The year. Lexington comes next,
with $4,000, 0c0. and the Seventh district,
with 81, $50, 600 paid per year. The total
amount paid in the State Of Kentucky
will aggregate about ten millions of dol
lars per year, and she is exceeded IN
amount by only three States-Ohio, ilil'
nois and New York. Here are the totals:
Kentucky $l0,53l ,236 IA; Ohio, $685.
sU9, 81; New York SO. 600 co. Illinois,
SIS, 1852, 9l7 ST.
The next below Kentucky. is the Stale
of Pennsylvania, which pays 90, 100, 0oO
and Missouri next, being $685.

Up 10 this time very few such communi-

freight charges, extoriions, and OF in

The prime object in creating this Board
was to adjust aud settle the evils com

and fair to the producer and shipper on
the one hand, and the railroad companies
on the other.
This we propose to do if we con. But
We cannot accomplish anything in this

TIE STAR ROUTE CASES

| Defending the Validity Of the Indlcsmsnts.
WASHINGTON, D. c., April 1.-The Star
Route cases came mp to day upon the mo.
ton to Quash the indictments. Mr.. Kel
opened for the prosecution and discussed
at length the subject of the conspiracy.
He also denied the insuficiency or vague
ness of the indictments as claimed by the
defense. He contended that it was impof::
sible to always give exact words and exact
language, and claimed the law did not re-
quire it.
Mr.. Ker was followed by Mr.. Merrick
for the prosecution. Mr.. Merrick reviewed
the facts connected with the finding Of tho
indictments and insisted that there was no
irregularity in regard thereto. He alluded
to the claim Of the defense that the judi
ciary could not investigate the acts of the
executive; that in thescase of Brady he could
not be tried for official acts. "This," said
Mr.. Merrick, "is not what We are trying
him for, but we arc trying him for the
crime of conspiracy. If these men are in
nocent let them be acquitted and let the
country be relieved of the scandals.
Mr.. Merrick was followed on behalf of
tho prosecution by Mr.. Bliss, who made
an exhaustive and technical defense Of the
indictment as a good and valid one.
