Very Large Holders of Government
Bonds.

Washington Letter in New York Graphic.
This Geographic dispatches have al
ready announced that Mr.. Vanderbilt
has transferred $5,0O0,OO0 of his four
per cent. bonds to his son, W. K. Van
derbilt, to buy stocks with while he is
loafing in Europe, but it reduces the
old mans pile but trifie. The gov
eminent still owes him $59,000,OOO,
which he can draw on in case of an
emergency. He had $64,OO0,OOO in
four per cents, which his has purchaS-
ed from time to time during the last
five years at par, and by the increase in
their value he has made twenty per
cent, or about nine per cent. year,
including the interest. Mr.. Wander
bilt is by far the largest
creditor the government has.
In the Office of Register Bruce are a
number of great books in which the
names of owners of registered bonds
are recorded. There are some insur-
ance companies and trust companies
which have four or five millions, and
one lady, Miss Catherine Wolf, of
New Y ork, has an even million, but
it takes several hundred of the largest
investors to size Mr.. Vanderbilt's
pile.

THE San Antonio Express In a fit
of owlish wisdom, and in very dig
nitied way tells the people that it
loveth not the beautiful flowers with
which God has decorated the earth.
But show the Express an empty
beer barrel if you want to see real
salt tears, if you would see smiles and
sunshine, show it a full one with a
spiggot in it,or programme of new
play at the vaudeville. There is no
accounting for taste, it may be old
fogy and the like, but really THE
STATESMAN does prefer flowers, and
the society of the ladies who grow
them to the FOUNDERS of the beer hall
or the frequenters of a low variety
dive. 1t is good deal matter of
taste. and our taste runs that way.

No More of Love.

No more of love; and yet methought it sweet,
In the last light of a midsummer day,
To wander with my love mid mellow hay
Or through some aisle OF oyer-whlSpering
wheat;
And very pleasant in the noonttde heat
To make lOve-chains OF daisies while we lay
Beneath an elm that shades the waterway,
Just where the river and the mlll-race meet.
No more Of love; and yet held it dear
In the calm Goodnight season TO converse
OF love and man, and mans great gentle
nurse,
Earth, and her paramour, the silver sphere,
And OF the grand, mad, meaSureleSS career
OfpaSSiOnate suns athwart the universe.
