An amusing incident.

A Boston correspondent writes: "a
more or less amusing inoidentis told at
the expense Of Miss Leila Robinson, a
woInanwho has had some notoriety by
her persistence II. pushing herself into the
ranks of the legal fraternity of this State.
She was assistant counsel in case in
which an important witness was man
who is in the Massachusetts State Prison
on life sentence. Theunhappy wretch
had not been out endurance for seventeen
years, and the sight of q bit of the world,
even though that bit wasno more cheer
full or attractive than the courtroom,
filed his whole soul with wild Joy. He
was so thoroughly delighted that in
moment of rapture he threw his arms
about Miss Robinson and kissed her fer
vently as means of expressing
his appreciation of the distant
glimpse of liberty he had, through
means of the summons to the
witness box, enjoyed. The lawyer who
was senior counsel in the case naturally
felt called upon TO defend Miss Robinson,
since even admission TO the bar does not
confer upon woman the strength to fight
her own battles, when the convict dis
armed his wrathand brought the bushes
to the cheek of the maiden barrister by
saying; i am glad she is your wife, be-
cause you will excuse me for kissing her.
You see couldn't help it, The incident
ought to be true and is told as fact. 1t
illustrates the beautiful and refining in
huence of woman in the courtroom, the
Jail, or wherever she may find herself
No doubt the convict Is from that day a
changed being. If he is not he ought to
be, or the story has absolutely no moral
whatever

me by the finger
Back TO the lotus lands ofthe Far-awayl
Turn back the leaves of life-don't read
Let's find the pictures and fancy all the

We can fill the written pages with n
brighter glory
Than old Time, the story.teller, at his
very best
Turn to the brook where the honeysuckle,
Ger It's vase of perfume, spills It on the

And the bee and humming- bird in ecstacy
are slipping
From the fairy flagons of the blooming
locust trees.
Turn to the lane where we used to 'teeter-
Printing little foot-palms in the mellow
mould
Laughing at the lazy cattle wading in the
water
Where the ripples dimple round the
butercups OF gold.
Where the dusky turtle lies basking on
the gravel
OF the sunny sand-bar in the middle
tide,
And the ghostly dragon fly pauses in his
travel 90. -
To rest like blossom Where the water
lily died, p

THE FOUNDERS OF OHIO.


Lrbe founders of Ohio landed from Their
boat, the Nayhower, at Marietta, April 4
l1SS, and established the FIRST English settle
ment In the Northwestern Territory. OyO
was the Indian name Of the oho.l
The footsteps Of hundred years
Have echoed since DER Braddock's Road
Bold Putnam and the Pioneers
Led History the way they strobe.
ON wild Monongahela's stream
They launched the MayhOwer Of the West.
A perfect state their civic dream,
Anew New World their pilgrim quest.
When April robed the Buckeye trees
Muskinguin's bOsky shore they trOd;
They pitched their tent, and 10 the breeze
Flung Freedoms star-hag, thanking God.
AS glides the Oyo's solemn food
Their generation ieeted on;
Our veins are thrilling with their blood,
But lhey the Pioneers, are gone.
Though storied tombs may not enshrine
The dust Of our illustrous sires,
Behold, where monumental shine
Proud Marletta's votlye spires.
Ohio caryes and consecrates
In her own heart theireVery name:
The Founders Of majestic States
Their epitaph-immortal fame

1TMAY BOT BE that a postal telegraph
bill will be passed at the present ses-
sion Of Congress, but things are work.
ing that way. The agitation in favor
of placing the telegraph lines under
control of the Postmaster General or
supervision of the Interstate Com
merce Commission is significant as
showing the drifto public sentiment.
If we are not greatly mistaken, how
ever, public sentiment in this matter
is considerably ahead Of Congress.

Mr.. MuLLETT, the architect, pre-
sents his views in brief to-day relative

siiion has been somewhat incorrectly
stated by the press. His ideas, it will

cable character, and will probably
meet the approval Of the public gen

"sir, always aim TO tell the truth, " re-
marked a politician who was in Broad

that you are mighty bad shot, Il New

OSE WEEK FROM tonight is the
time for the grand public reception
at the Riggs House for the women of
the International Council. Thousands
Of women are responding TO the call,
and there is no doubt Of the success
of the undertaking. Miss Anthony

weeks hard work and are glad they
have only one more week to wait for
the spreading Of the feast.

RICHARD REILLY, the New York
star reporter who was frozen in the
discharge Of his duty during the late
blizzard, died yesterday. He braved
the danger to make himself a name in
his profession, and he succeeded so
well that none who follow in his foot
stems will over forget him.

WE PUBLISH to-day an article of
great interest to all who realize the
necessity Of better protection. foF life
and property in this. District. 1t is
admitted that the Metropolitan police
force, as. a1 present organized, has
reached high degree of efficiency
and was never under better discipline
or management. In these respects it
will favorably compare with the best
departments Of America or Europe. 1t
will appear, however, from the facts
and figures presented, that in consid-
ering the extent of territory to be
patrolled, the numerical strength of
the force is far below our needful re-
quirements and that less salaries are
paid for more work than in other
large cities of the country.
The pay of the Major and superin-
tendent is conspicuously inadequate to
a position Of such great Importance
and responsibility. All these things
have been reported to Congress and
are believed to be well understood
by the District Committees. The bill
for an increase of the force is re-
garded at the Capitol with much
favor, but there is always danger that
the plea of economy will overrule the
plea of necessity in the Appropriations
Committee. 1t would be a great mis-
fortune for the measure to fail.
What is requisite is rather below than
equal to the urgent demands Of the
situation, as we think will be apparent
to those who have given the subject
much attention.
The Washington critic., 1888-03-17

THE New York Sun prefers Ran
dall's tariff bill to Mills's tariff bill.
Why wouldn't it be better to merge
them in compromise measure, in
stead of individualizing them with a
bridge between? If the Democratic
party wants tariff bill it should pass
one of its own, leaving names out.

half that sum of money is not considered
as verging on the miraculous. The eXpe-
Renee of the past, and the lessons that
are to be learned from the records of har-
dy b~rave-hearted cOlOniStS who rave gone
to their rest, ought to be incentives to all
dwellers in the colony to strive towards
its agricultural development. There is
still too much to be seen of the abandon
ment of land which the Commissioners of
1849 had to deplOre, but the whole of Ma
balcony, Abary, Essequebo and COrentyne
are now blessed with excellent roads, al
belt the land the roads run through is
being very slowly reclaimed from the cap
tivity of soul grass and bush. With a
good labOur supply, and a growing know
ledge of the secrets of the factory, the
sugar trade OF the colony ought to go on
steadily If not rapidly increasing. Sugar
is our m~ainstay, and is likely to remain
so for an indefinite time to come. But it
is one we can depend upon with conf
dence, for, to quote the words Of Governor
Barkly's reporters, the climate and soil
Of the colony ure "singularly adapted" to
the cultivation of the grandest Of all gras-
ses, the sugar.cane.
