the real character of one alderman ev-
eryone hopes that others will be un-
masked.
More interesting still is the glimpse
which the testimony in relation to this
case gives Of the influence which an
alderman is able to bring in order to
shield himself from prosecution. Mrs.
Hamilton's affidavit seriously duplicates
Inspector Byrnes, who has charge of the
detective force, and District Attorney
MARITIME, to both of whom Mrs. HamiI-
ton applied for help, and from neither of
whom did she get any. According to
her statement, Inspector Byrnes seemed
.nost concerned in shielding Tachne and
in directing her suspicious towards an
other man, Jachne himself testified to
curious conversation which he had with
the district attorney, representing that
the latter believed his story of innocence,
"but that as I Jachnel was public Off
cial I could not afford to have a suit
brought, as was threatehed, and he ad-
vised me, under all the circumstances, to
settle and not let it become public prop

affidavit and the evidence Of Jachne him
self, both the inspector and the district
attorney, the two officers, of all IN the

No stone has ever been placed upon
the grave Of General A. p. Hill, who, in
several respects, was a grander soldier
than some who survived the war and
made much capital ont of it. General A.
P. Hill was model of manly beauty.
We recall him as he looked in 1862 at
Richmond, and never did nature fashion
a more attractive human being and never
did God put bolder spirit in a more
loyal breast. He, of all the Generals of
the Confederacy, was perhaps the best in
carnatiOn of simple duty. He was mod
est, intrepid, staunch, reliable, and vir-
tuous. He needed no trumpeter of his
fame, and sought none. He died at the
post of duty, and will forever be remem-
bered in connection with the last hours of
Lee and Jackson. Just before the mighty
spirit Of Stonewall Jackson broke from
its prison bars of flesh, the Marcelus of
the Confederacy turned to those who sur
rounded his dying bed and said "Let A.
p. Hill prepare for actionl" When Rob-
ert K. Lee exhaled his grand soul away,
his last words were of A. p. Hill, who
had preceded him to the realm of shad-
ows or the heaven of heroes. What a
glorious character was that which rose
vitality before the dying Jackson and spir-
itually before the dying Lee.

THE ONE LOVED BEST.

She sits by his side with anxious look
Marring her white, patrlciau face;
Aolaze with jewels which here and there
- clean out from the folds of her sheeny lace.
Her tout ensemble is perfect quite,
From her bonnet down to her dainty shoe
But why is my lady dstraught to might
While the hfe Is played and the drums tat too?
Her smile is only borrowed mask,
To hide her woe from the gaping crowd,
And the white of her face will never be
Whittier when she is in her shroud.
And why is this, when this kingly man
AT her side is hers by legal rightg
AS the world can see, who more than she
should wear the swile of content tonight
Oh, the lies that are lived as the world goes on
Oh, the vows that are broken every day.
And oh, for the hopes which the years now gone
Have hidden out of sight away!
But the saddest thing for a wife to hear,
When only her heart in the darkness stirs.
Is the sound of a name from the lips loved best
The sound of a name-and the name not hers.
She hears 1t now through the music's whirl;
II will haunt her down to her dying day;
The name of the gracious, sweet faced girl
She met as she walked on the street to-day
All, il needed not the whispered name
In bis happy dreams, with his mind at rest;
My lady knows to her grief and shame
That the old love yet is the one loved best.
