A CHRISTMAS MESSAGE.

Oh glad bells, ringing,
Your echoes flinging,
With wild notes winging
Their fight ON high
Oh, sweet glad token
OF words wa've spoken,
In troth unbroken,
My love and [.
Oh snow-clouds, whirling,
Like sails unfurling,
Or white mists curling
From earth to sky.
Bend down an ! listen,
Where frost buds glisten,
By keen winds kissen,
To live or die.
One years long signing,
One years slow dying,
Two hearts fond or ying
For love they miss;
Now tears and weeping,
As dreams in sleeping,
Fade in the keeping
OF Christmas bliss.
Come, pain and pleasure
Or joy, we measure
By gift and treasure
OF loves brief stay.
Ere sigh; come after
Our smiles and laughter,
Or sad hereafter,
On sweet to- ay!
Though others meet you,
And welcomes greet you,
-
For one, my sweet, you
VIII long and wait
The slow hours dying
You count by signing,
While I am flying
To love and fate.
With soft eyes fearful,
With heart half-fearful,
Though al are cheerful
Around you here;
Your true thoughts hover
Around your lover
Shall he discover
A fault, a fcar'
Oh, Cad bells, pealing;
Oh. sweet thoughts, stealing
Ger troubled feeling
And feyered breast!
In this sweet meeting
| hear your greeting:
"If love be ileeting,
Yet love is best.1

The Wickhan Letter.

RICHMOND, Va, Nov. ia letter
from General Wickham will appear In
the Richmond Dispnek To- morrow
commenting upon the address of Sena.
tor Malone, In which he says tina,
nothing short of lunacy would justify
such an address, and that the wholesale
slauders which it contains will doubt
less be fully refuted by a statement OF
figures and facts in the next few days.
The statement in the address, that the
"crack of the Bourbon weapons engaged
IN political murder resounded and the
Bourbon knife sank deep in the County
of Hanover, causes him, as the rep
resentative of those people in the Senate
of Virginia, to announce the falsity of
the charge.
The letter says that colored man, a
Coalitionist, has been murdered in
Hanover by a colored Republican; that
the Richmond Wing had the fairness
to declare that it was due to a personal
grudge, and had no political signif-
canoe whatever; that William Malone
ought to have known the facts of the
case, and asks, that If he did not, by
what principle of justice did he utter
such SANDER against the law-abiding
people of Hanover, without assuring
himself of the facts in the case.

Grimes and Criminals.

Jacob Melting, who murdered and
mutilated Ada Atkinson, a girl, o few
weeks ago, was taken from the Jail at
Fowler, Indiana, on Sunday night, and
lynched by masked mob Of 800 men.
He had confessed his guilt.
At Charlottesville, Virginia, OIL Sat
urday night, Joseph Barbour, colored,
cut The throat of Reynold jackson, also
colored, because the latter asked a
friend not to drink with Jackson any
more, but to 20 home. Barbour was
arrested, and q colored mob gathered
around the Jail, threatening TO lynch
him. A local military company pre-
vented them from carrying out the
threat, but 1t is thought they will renew
the attempt.

lnstructiuy the Teachers.

In accordance with the recent action
of the Board of Education, Professor j.
jackson Pierce gave his first lesson in
penmanship, between j and 8 o'clock
last evening, to the teachers and pupils
of the various schools. All teachers
above the sixth grade, together with
the principals are entitled to receive
the instructions. and about ninety
teachers were present yesterday. Many,
however, were present out Of curiosity,
but they all paid strict attention and
considerable interest was manifested
Mr.. Fierce teaches the Spencerian
method, and his instructions will con.
tiuue every Monday and Thursday
afternoon. Most of the teachers are
pleased with the a"'ion of the Board in
furnishing them vj'h this free instruc-
tiUN, but thnk tlIAt III" time should he
changed from ! to 4 30 and the hour de-
voted from the latter time. This would
enable many teachers ijving at IL con-
siderable distance from the high school
to reach their homes in the evenings in
question beturGio'clock. Other teachers,
who are excellent writer's are afraid to
undertake the lessons for fear MI
P.erce's system Of writing would con.
hlct with that used by them in such a
as to spoil their hand writing.
That, however, is only u surnise, ,and it
is not thought probable that the in
given by Mr.. Pierce will in
any way interfere with the good
writing of these teachers, bnt on the
other hand they will be taught the art
Of teaching renmanship successfully,
and their writing will also he greatly
improved.

The Poole Trial.

DUBLIN, Nov. 19.-The second trial
of Joseph Poole for the murder of John
Kenny, in Seville Place, July 4, 1889,
was begun to-day before Justice MUIR
ply. DR.. Webb, counsel for Poole,
urged that the trial could not proceed,
as, since the case was being conducted
under the Crimes act, formal notice
should have been given to the accused,
which hid not been given. Justice
Murphy held that the notice given TO
the accused upon the previous trial was
sufficient, but promised the defendants
counsel that he would make note of
the objection thus raised. A Jury was
thereupon empauelled. The courtroom
was crowded.
Mr.. Porter, for the prosecution, re-
counted the evidence given AT the
former trial, and submitted to the Court
that 1t proved that Poole was privy to
the design of the Fenians to remove
Kenny, and that, if he did no, actually
intlict the wounds upon Kenny, he
lured the victim to his doom, and was
present at the murder.
The trial had not been finished when
the court rose. The trial will b. com.
pleted tomorrow, when William Lamie,
the infOrmer, will give evidence.

At the Lutheran Church.

Another interesting meeting was held
at the German Lutheran church, last
night, in honor of the 4OOth anniversa-
ry of Luther's birth, it being a continua-
ton of Sunday evenings services. The
pastor of the church, Rev. p. Isensch-
midt, made few remarks, and intro
dnced the Rev. DR.. +. Wishan of st.
Hichael's Lutheran church, of Phlla.

choir of sixteen voices, under the lead
ership of j. p. II. Fuekel, and an or.
chestra of four pieces, led by John

RICHMOND, Nov. l9.-The receipt of

ges wholesale murder in Virginia, has
created the greatest excitement among

to be n prelude to the plot of Malone
and his board of anvassers to count ont
a sufficient number of Democrats in tile
Senate to give him the majority, and,
fearing the result, he proposes to have
United States troops here to aid him in
his undertaking.
This address is pronounced tissue of

votes Of whites and blacks in Hanover
over Jones, Mahone's candidate, is Ou

Cookies Corners.

Mr.. John Il. Owens appeared at the
Opera House last night in Cookies 3
Corners" before q fair.sized audience.
The play Is new, and last night was the
hrst time the company ever performed
1t In public, and Of course there were
the usual number of bitches incident to
a " first night" The character of Heze.
kiah Perkins was we'll sustained by Mr..
Owens, but there were those In the
audience who were disappointed in not
finding more comedy In the part, but
this will no doubt be remedied after he
has performed the character a few
times,
Mr.. Owens is an excellent actor, a
true and conscientious artist, and one of
the few that leave their personality
behind the scenes, and for the time
being becomes the character he is rep
resenting. The support no doubt will
do much better when they become bet
ter acquainted with the play and with
themselves. Mr.. Rolf, as Henry Grey,
did some fine acting, as also did Mr..
Jordan in the character OF John Ellis
worth, the enemy of Grey. The whole
company, however, labored under great
uAo"u nutAkObp do tuey AhA UCCu tkbFcl-
ing from an early hour in the morning,
and only arrived in this city about
o'clock.
Immediately after dinner they pro-
ceeded to the Opera House, wherea re-
hearsal took place that lasted until 81
o'clock last night. They barely had
time then to eat their suppers, get back |
to the Opera House, and dress In time
for the performance. In fact some of
the company did not 60 to the hotel at |
all, for fear Of being late.
The play, which is comedy drama,
Is very good, and has an excellent plot
1t contains several fine points and thrill
ling scenes, especially In the third act,
and 1t is doubtful If any one who saw
the play last evening would recognize
1t as the same in week from now. The

q play out of which much can be made,
there IL no doubt of their success, or that
" Cookies Corners will become one Of

that under the circumstances the play
was presented as we'll as it was, speaks
for the ability of the company,
and Is an earnest Of what they will
