To the Chancellor OF the Sixth Division of

During the afternoon, after the

Mr.. p. g. Johnson's term as Clerk

became his duty to appoint his sue
cessoF; that he had received Mr..

ment, with the highest testimonials
of the bar as to his capacity, eff
cheney and faithfulness and that it
gave him also great pleasure to bear
to the fidelity and capa-
bility of Mr.. johnson in the thor
Ough discharge of the duties of his
Office, and he would re-appoint him
Clerk & Master for the term of six

Chancellor Seay could not have
made a better appointment or one

All Three Together.

The Arabs have a story of man who desired to test which of his three sons loved him most. He sent them out to see which of the three would bring him the most valuable present. The three sons met in distant city, and compared the gifts they had found. The first had a carpet on which he could transport himself and others whithersoever he would. The second had medicine which would cure any disease. The third had glass in which he could see what was going on at any place he might name. The third used his glass to see what was going on at home: he saw his father i'll in bed. The first transported all three to their home on his carpet. The second administered the medicine and saved the fathers life. The perplexity of the father when he had to decide which sons gift had been of the most value to him, says Prof. Sumner, illus. trates very fairly the difficulty of saying whether land, labor, or capital is most essential to production. No production is possible without the cooperation of al three.

The Government Finances.

The decrease in the public debt for last month is $7, ESQ., ,67S, against $13, ,636, ,S83 for the month of January. The differ ence of six millions of dollars is more than accounted for by the expenditures of the Pension Bureau, which show an increase of $s, 400, ,0OO over January, and which have reached the maximum monthly expenditure so far attained during the current fiscal year. The Customs receipts for February are about $17, ,OOO, ,O00, or nearly the same as in January; the internal revenue receipts are about million and three quarters less. The aggregate receipts of the last eight months of the fiscal year exceed those of the corresponding period of last year by about five millions, and the ex- pepditures are five millions and half less. The probable amount of the sur plus to be earned during the fiscal year depends mainly on the activity of the Pension Bureau, but it will hardly be less than $135, 100000 more. The
 Treasury holds $2, 75O, ,OOO more of silver
 dollars than it did month ago, and has
 increased it's stock of gold coin and
 bullion by about four millions of dollars
 during the month.

The Time.

Speaking of interesting feats in teleg- raphy, San Francisco paper recalls a noteworthy exchange of words between that city and Valencia Bay, Ireland. An unbroken circuit was made from San Francisco to Hearts Content (some 4,50O miles), the cable landing on the American side, and the operator there was asked by the operator in San Fran cisco to see how soon he could get an answer from the other side of the ocean, The message sent from San Francisco was: "To operator, Valencia Bay: Ten o'clock here !; what time is it with you ?" Almost instantly the reply came: "Six o'clock in the morning, and the maids are milking cows" The exchange of words occupied not more than three minutes.

LOVE.
n fair Elizabeth.

Love came to fair Elizabeth,
 She had no will or wish to stay The youthful god. Love came to her, And stole her happy heart away. Love came, her soul was strangely stirred; She yielded to the rosy boy, Like freedom to 'prisoned bird,
 Love filled her life with hope and joy. How blissful seemed his bonds to bear; How beautiful the summer nights How free from loneliness and care; How full of fond and dear delights New splendors dawned with every day, And filled the cleudless skies above. No helpless, human soul can stay
 The strong, resistless course of love. The secret slumbered in her breast, She did not dare her joy to tell. Loye's presence was welcome guest, She feared to break his magic spell. New beauty bloomed upon her face, And sparkled in her azure eyes. She walked with love in every place. Love made the world like Paradise. Emotions new, impulses strange,
 And fancies lovely filled her soul. Love bound her in his golden chains, Love led her in his fond control. The Poet made her heart rejoice
 He banished all her earthly care. Without the splendor of his voice
 She heard no music in the air. The olden story, always new,
 The olden fashion, always best; About his neck her arms she threw z. And clasped him closly to her breast. He pressed his red lips to her cheek Her senses seemed to soar above All earthly things she did not speak, She only thought and dreamed of love Oh, Love, how beautiful aAd fair
 The blissful moments that you bring! How bright your castles in the air, How sweet the songs you help us sing Our dreams of earth in death decay, Our expectations flatly fall We fade like mists at more away.
 But love in heaven outlives us all
