1T was half past four when Crisp, after
threading divers of the city's ways, in
which the crowds were now rapidly less
ening. turned again into Change ALLEY. A
look of depresslon-a haggard. careworn
look--was upon the young mans face as
he crossed it. his head bent down. Sud-
denly sweet, glad cry-oh! so out OF
place there-struck upon his ear, and he
stopped aud looked round with start. to
meet the next instant two little gloved
hands thrust into his. two brown ewes
swimming with tears looking into his
black ones. .'Oh, Ernest ~ the girl
cried-she was young and pretty, but
dressed very plainly in black, and until
this moment had worn her veil down.

anxiously on his.

FUNERALS.

Congressman Beach has introduced a
resolution in the House Of Representa-.
tives that all eulogics on deceased mem.
bers shall hereafter be delivered on Sun.
days. What MI. Beach aims at, of
course, is the practice of delaying the
public business by the devotion of a
whole day, every now and then, to the
laudation of some departed member and
an adjournment out Of respect to his
memory. Perhaps this is not a good Gus.
tom, but there is sure to be serious op-
position to any innovation that will lead
to the assembling of Congress seven days
in the week To be sure, funerals are
often held on Sundays, and it is not con.
sidered out of place by the most relig.
ious people that they should be, but it
might be plausibly argued that the GUS
tom sought to be introduced by Mr..
Beach's bill would prove to be simply the
entering wedge fora regular session of
Congress on Sunday; and this is likely
to be q grave obstacle in the way of any
such bill. The abuse can be remedied
without recourse to any such measure.
A much more serious abuse is the con-
version OF the funerals of deceased Con.
gressmen into junketing excursions for
the members delegated to attend them.
This is a waste of both time and money,
as at present conducted, and a bill to
change the custom radically would meet
with public favor, whatever reception
might be accorded it in Congress.

TORIES IN

That Parnellism is the paramount ques-
tion OF the hour in London abundantly
appears from the press of that city.
Lord ~Salisbury's organ, the Morning
Post, Of a recent date, says: eve learn
that communications have been ex-
changed between the leader of the opposi-
tion and the leader of the Irish National
list party, with a view to arrange a basis
for joint action when Parliament meets,
but that up to the present nothing def
mite has been settled"
The Daily Telegraph fairly walls
through a very long editorial, which con.
cludes thus: "We are face to face with
this difficulty, that to give to Ireland
complete right of legislation and police
is to abandon to the peasantry one mill.
ion and 9 half of Irishmen who are not
Parnellites; while on the other hand,
nothing but the uncontrolled right to
make and execute the laws will satisfy
Irish aspirations or conciliate Parnell.
The situation is very serious. 1t is one
OF the g~ravest ever presented to an En-.
glish Parliament. It is more ~momentous
than many wars, because it is q Gordian
knot that cannot be cut by the sword.
The competition of the two great parties
for power has brought the Empire to this
dilemma, and their union alone can save
it from disintegration."
The Chronicle, as a Liberal paper, in.
dorses the Posts information thus:
Communications have been passing dur.
ing the last few days between the Liberal
chiefs and Mr.. Parnell for the purpose OF
having an amendment to the address
which would unite the forces of the op.
position and the Irish Nationalists
against the Government"

The New York Times says: The Sher-
if will proceed to take an inventory of
the property of the Western Union in
this country and levy upon it to satisfy
an execution issued on a judgment OBJ.
tanned last April for unpaid taxes Of
1881, unless a check for the amount due,
some $3.50, 900, is promptly handed over.
II may be assumed as probable that such
a check will be drawn, as the Sheriff an.
nounces his intention to collect the money
forthwith. Probably when the amount
is conveyed into the State Treasury the
Western Union will appeal to the Legis.
lature for its return.

Judge Hughes Decision.

We publish on the outside Of this issue
OF the VIRaINIAN, an opinion Of Judge
Hughes of the United States District
Court. on an important coupon case. The
decision is in accordance with previous d.
cisions announced by the U. S. Supreme
and Circuit Courts, and consequently is
simply. affirming. what the higher courts
had determined-or cbeying the COM
mands of the superior tribunals, as to
what is the law, or the proper construc-
ton Of legislation. 1t must be plain to
every impartial mind that, let the Legisla-
ture seek to evade or muddle the matter
as it may, the coupons will have to be re-
ceived for taxes, and the sooner this is re-
cognized the better. The courts have
been forced to take hold of the matter,
and the highest tribunal of the land hav-
ing rendered its decision, its command
will have to be obeyed. That will be the
final outcome of it, although the State will
be put to heavy expense in the fruitless eff
fort to evade it.

of any kind to friend they can do SO on

BEEF CATTLE.-Trade in Beeyes shows no inn
provement in activity over the operations of
last week, but, like the Hog and Sheep mar
kets, has proved to be very slow throughout.
Prices of tops exhibit little variation from last
week, considering quality, though some few
dealers thought there was q SLIGHT improve

as good as were those Of last week, but ON
other grades nearly all dealers thought prices
Izallc. lower than last MONDAY Prices 2I5a5I4c,
with most sales from 81 TO &c.
Prices of Beef Cattle ranged as follows: Best
