NAUTICAL COURTsHIP.

"Ob. woe Is me-" cried Hannah Lee,
mo more thy love Pll scott;
For since, my dear, you're off to sea
I've come to see you off.
mo more in vain, coquettish slight
I'll make you suffer pain;
For WI lie the main rolls in its might
I'll love with might and main.
"Oh, must it be last goodbye?
Farewell, my love, farewell;
Now, by these tears which swell my eye
I'll eye no other swell"
In quick embrace the maid is caught;
"My dear, the sailor cried,
What care 1, swells the tide or not,
So our sweet knot be tied.
Enough, my sailor life is done.
My lot with you is cast;
On board they'd lash me to the mast.
You mash me to the last.''
And SO away this couple ran,
Held fast in Cupid's grip;
And they had to ship some other man
To help them man the ship.
And SO the twain with happy grin.
Put Cupid-s foes to route,
And as the evening tide came in
A pair just tied came out.
No more a surly captain daunts.
They're safe as one could wish,
And he gets sufficient for their wants
Whenever he wants to fish.

It was Mahone's endeavor to have a law
passed in April, 1882, which would have
given to the Board of Education, composed
of his tried and faithful followers, power to
remove oil trustees of schools at their own
discretion. If he is again placed in power
every school trustee, superintendent and
even the teachers will have to dance or
skip according as Malone pulls the strings.

The triumph of the Republican party in
Virginia would throw our industrial inter-
ests back many years. But the question
now is, Shall Malone, the most unscrupu-
Ious leader and the most dangerous nan in
Virginia, be elected Governor of this State?
A large majority of the qualified voters
detest Malone, and if they will but do their
duty they can get rid of Malone and Ma
honeism forever. Richmond State.

In his instructions to the Law
renee grand jurylast Monday Judge
Rice emphasized the Importance of
hunting down those who have been
connected with the pernisious prae-
tice ofbuying and selling votes, and
charged the jury to put forth every
possible effort to find who these of.
Tenders are, that they may be
brought to justice. He stated the
evident fact that poor man, even
with unquestioned merits, no long
er has any show for office. If ev-
cry Judge in the land would prac-
.tieaIly appreciate, as Judge Rice
does; that he is in aposition to cause,
by little exertion, a great reforma-
ton in this matter we would soon
be blessed with a much purer ballot.
Judge Rice has recently been was
ing war in the other counties of the
district against election bribery and
large numbers of indictments have
resulted.

Commissioner Tanner some time
ago succeeded in exhausting the
pension appropriation for the fiscal
year, and pensioners who have not
been paid viii have to wait until
some time in next month. This
state OF affairs is the result Of noth-
ing but waste and extravaganza.
Congress appropriated all the mon
sey Commissioner Black asked for.
The estimate OF Gen. Black was
liberal and abundant, and had he
remained at the head of the Pension
Bureau there would have been a
surplus rather than deficit. When
Gen. Black made his estimate of the
amount required, he did not expect
that hundreds of old rejected claims
would be dragged out, approved
and ordered paid out of appropria-
ton. This is why the appropria-
ton is exhausted, and actual suffer
ing will occur all over the country

the dam with their fishing tackle,

show Enthusiastically their selfish
feelings of security and satisfaction.
A few very small streams flow over
the dam to the great number OF
foundries. factories, and numerous
Industries lying just below and
within the mercies ofthe great dam.
1t is d wonderfully striking and
practical illustration ofthe sltua-

following pertinent questions on the
subject: u.
