THE TALE OF LIFE.

Man Is to-day what man was yesterday
VIII be tomorrow; let him curse or pray,
Drink or be duh, he learns not, nor shall
learn
The lesson that will laugh the world away.
The world as gray or just as golden shines,
The wine as sweet or Just as bitter flows
For you as mei and you, like me- may find
Perfume or canker In the rcddost rose.
The tale of life Is hard 10 understand;
But while the cup waits ready 10 your hand
Drink, and declare the summer roses blow
As red In London as IN Samaroand.
Lips are as sweet to kiss and eyes as bright
As ever hattered Omar with delight;
English or Persian, while the mouth Is fair,
What can it matter how II says good night 2
dustin A. Mccarthy.

THE President is right about it. It is
entirely proper that men in official posi-
ton, who become candidates for office
in the gift of the people, should sur
render the commissions they hold from
the Executive. If an office holder &C.
cepts a party nomination he should do
so at his own risk He has no right to

RICHMOND society was all agog last
night. The Knights of Labor had a
colored delegate whom they desired to
take with them to the theatre. II was
their purpose, Furthermore, TO have
him sit in that part of the house whore
"no niggers need apply" They
shouldn't have done 1t, because as
guests of the city 1t was their duty, and
should have been their pleasure, to
have observed the rules of the place In
which they were entertained, But
they didn't They wanted to do rs
they pleased. Then society became
agog. Cog and Magog had swooped
down upon society, and society rose In
wrath. Five thousand Richmonds
were in the field when the theatre
doors opened, and the scions of the
city's noblest stock came out armed to
the teeth to keep the stain away, or, If
It came, to wipe it out In blood. Civil
rights was one thing. Uncivil
rights quite another The time had
come to settle the matter al e drU,is.
LoJor omn,a ciaci wasn't circum.
stance to Voc popuii, and fair ladies and
brave men pooled their issues in a
common cause. Seventy five people
went into the theatre, but the man Of
color was not there. lie was elsewhere.
Between Society and the Knights the
theatre man was crushed. 1t was
rough on the manager. lie is the only
person who couldn't take sides. This
morning the city was quiet. The color
line still floats on the air of the free.
The Knights have concluded that it is
none of their business what Richmond
does or doesn' do In her own corporate
limits. But she hadn't better try to
shut colored brother out of a Northern
theatre. Society is avenged, Let us
have peace,

SILVER IN AUSTRALIA.

1t now begins to look as though
Australia would come forward as a
great silver producer. For the last
ten years she has worked some silver
lodes in small way, and from 1875
to 1884 her exports of that metal
have averaged from about 100000
to 100000. Within the last two
years American reduction processes
have been introduced, and in 1885
the export jumped up to S2S3, 800.
This was mostly the product of
single mine in the New England dis
trict of New South Wales, but other
districts are now being discovered
which promise large returns. In the
Barrier Range, near the boundary
between New South Wales and
South Australia, an extensive silver
bearing region has heen prospected
and worked with promising results.
1t is believed that the deposits range
far into the desert country of South
Australia, and no opinion can yet be
formed of their ultimate value.
There are thousands of square miles
of little known territory in that di-
rection, much of WHICH resembles
the silvcr-bearing regions of Nevada.
The Government geologist, and
several other experts who have made
some Investigations, express the
opinion that the district will rival
the argentiferous regions Of the
F, Great American Basin in the extent
and richness of its lodes. The coun.
try is at present difficult of access,
wood and water are scarce and
mining and reduction expensive, but
a railroad is projected to obviate
these difficulties. IS. i. Bulletin.

FOREIGN NEWS SUMMARY.

In q sculling match for FL, 200
and the championship of the world,
Beach defeated Gaudauer. At
Barnes Bridge Beach spurted, and
going to the front, won by four
lengths. Beach's time was 1886.
1t was fearfully hard race through
out. The weather was clear and
cold, with the wind from the north
east. The tide was good. Before
the start betting was five to one in
favor of Beach.
The yachts Mayhower, Puritan
and Galatea contested for the Citi-
zen's Cup off Newport. At Z p. NJ,
the Galatea having had the best
position was five miles ahead of the
Puritan and Mayfower.
In the moonlight off Benton's reef,
after the Regatta Committee had
conceded certain victory to the
Galatea, the Mayfower snatched the
glory from her, literally in the
eleventh hour, crossing the line
ahead of her before II O'Clock.
When the Electra left the stake
boat at the West-island buoy at dusk
the stranger had rounded. The re-
mainder of the fleet was becalmed
four miles away, and there were no
signs or any hope that they would
get in before morning. With almost
an imperceptible movement of air,
the Mayflower drifted down to West
island, where they found that the
Galatea had just crept around the
mark. The Mayflower got around
slowly, and then a gentle breeze
sprung from the southeast and I'M
mediately the Boston sloop began to
overhaul the cutter. Just on the
finish line she passed her, beating
her across by about forty feet. The
Mayfower had started so long after
the Galatea that she would have
beaten her, even if the Galatea had
crossed short distance ahead. The
Mayhower beat the Galatea 5m.

the establishment OF permanent
Imperial, Colonial and Indian insti-

exhibition for the promotion of emf

trade. For this purpose he propose:
that fund be opened at the Man
sion House, the proceeds of which
should be vested in body of trus.
tees to be appointed by the Queen
and that the heir apparent be made

him the greatest pleasure thus tc
allow the people of the empire tt
testify to their love of the Queen.
