A POEM TO THE SOUTH.

Maurice Thompson. in an apostrophe ITO
the South" published in The Independent of
September II, thus declares a noble sentiment
which will find responsive echo in the breast
of iiiany another Southerneti
| aifi S0uthernef;
| love the South; dared for her
To fight fr IN Lookout to the sea,
With her proud banner over me;
But from my lips thanksgiving broke,
As God in battle-thunder spoke,
And that Black Idol, breeding drouth
And dearth of human sympathy
Throughout the sweet and sensuous
South,
Was, with its chains and human yoke,
Blown hellward from the cannon's mout h,
While Freedom cteered behind the
smoke!

March II following the crime, was a
miserable day. Night came down early
and damp. Durivier was at Versailles
on special business. A close carriage
drew up at the depot and from it aIight-
ed tall, elegantly-dressed man and a
comely woman. They spoke moment
to some one who remained in the car
riage and then entered the depot.
Durivier caught glimpse of the occu-
pant of the carriage as it turned and the
light of the lamp flashed on it. 1t was
Lebon;s.
"Who are your friends, Monsieur Le-
bonis?" the officer said TO himself. He
entered the depot. The lady and gen.
tleman were taking passage for st. Naza
rine.
st. Nazaire? st. Nazaire? How had
the name recently interested him? To
be sure! Bolette and Madame Lebonis.
He stood where be could see the wo-
man distinctly. She was mnffied and
vailed and disguised in a score of ways,
but there was no doubt it was she. And
the man? All, that was the question.

faculty, of course, proposed summary
measures, even looking to expulsion.
Some of the students grew penitent

A COMMUNICATION in this issue calls at
tention to the political economy Of cir
Gus in a way to seriously suggest the i'm
propriety of giving such companies the
privilege of visiting Wellington hereafter.
We think Robbins company is as good as
any, and that it is not directly responsible
for the small army of thieves and burglars
that accompany it, and make show day a
dread and terror TO our people, but
there can be no doubt that all OF that
class of entertainments are demoralizing
and corruptlng TO both young and old, and
that the country would be the gamer II
they were abolished But considering
the natural curiosity and love Of the
strange and marvellous, much of which is
legitimate, and the average cultivation
and moral standards Of the masses, we pre-
sumo the day when visiting circuses will
go out of fashion is long distance in the
future if indeed il is reached before the
millennium. We should be glad if our city
fathers could be prevailed upon to legis-
late the circus out of our borders, as they
have already provided against that nuis-

members and staid deacons, not only
travel long distances and spend a half day
to witness the triumphful procession OF
elephants, camels, horses and cages OF
wild animals, but find It necessary to put

that society is not yet ripe for the aboli
ton ofthe circus and shall try TO resign our.

accompanying itinerant street venders

they cannot avoid feeling that they have

been practiced upon them. ltwould seem
that a nice sense of honor would prevent
man from seeking to represent people
with whose opinions he was not in accord,

tion and concealment, but evidently the
machine politician is astranger to candor
and frankness, and regards everything
tair in politics as in war We believe
that the time has come, however, when
politicians as we'll as others, must
