"a the Opera House the place for

other evening just as the writer and a
party had seated themselves for an even
Ing Of quiet enjoyment. woman with
baby came in and sat down just back Of
the QUIET party, and then they knew
that they were in for it, At first that
baby was quiet. For after making q
grab at the writer's hat and succeeding
In capturing several locks of hair, that
baby went to sleep. And 1t did sleep
until, at the moment when an almost
broathless hush prevailed and the inter
est Of every one was conferred on the
stage, that baby opened its mouth and
yelled. II shrieked and howled and
kicked The murderous chances that
were directed at that suffering innocent
did not in the least affect its composure,
and 1t yelled more Justify than ever.
Then IL changed its tactics and sobbed, and
sniveled, then commenced to look around
the house for amusement. IL pulled the
writer's hair, pushed the hat awry and
banged away on his back until he was
tempted TO leave.
But after another series of ear-split-
ting yells the patient mother Of that
much-abused infant calmly took her de-
parture, blind TO the black OF relieved
looks, as the case might be Of that en-
ragged house.

WHEN the report concerning the late
Investigation by the grand jury Of the
prison At New Castle is published IL will
no doubt reveal what is already known,
that the prisoners are in wretched
condition. That will excite the minds
and hearts Of sympathetic and enthusi.
astic people in divers ways. Some win
wish to turn loose the criminals because
the luxuries Of life are not provided, while
others will wish to enlarge the prison and
tax the people TO provide all the Injuries
and comforts and even the daintles OF
life for them there Neither proposition
is practicable. The prisoners should be
provided with reasonably comfortable
quarters, but the best thing that can be
doue for the prisoners and for the people,
for whose protection they are confined,
is to give them work. The folly OF
maintaining prison to receive the
same old criminals term after term and
hold them there in crime breeding idle
ness is apparent to every one who will
examine the facts carefully. Employ.

There's no art nor studied,pOses
In her motions, In her ease;
But her checks reflect In roses
That breathe sweetness on the breeze;
And her eyes are bright and glowing,
Like tive sun kissed little lakes,
Clear and deep and overlooking.
Where sweet heavens image wakes.
She seeks not the latest fashion,
simple il her hat and gown;
She may have n tender passion
For the red, gray or brown
Satisfies her hearts pure longing
More than rosy colors bright;
Still, whore roses red are thronging,
She stands brightest in the light.
Is she filckle2 IA she cruel?
Well, perhaps, some call her no;
But 10 me she il a jewel
With changeles6 light and glow,

She's my sunlight, and love her,

THE way to compose the race riots is
to compose them. Meetings Of excited
politicians who make incendiary speeches
calculated TO excite the passions Of both
races win allay riots or prevent III feel
ing The black man has his grievances,
while the white man has his rights.
The white man cannot be expected
to give up his rights for the
political advancement Of the Republican
party while the black man cannot sit still
under his alleged grievance while the
political demagogue whispers threats to
excite his morbid and superstitious imag
ination. The problem Of two races living
together in political equality under any
circumstances is ne to the world. The
problem Of two races living in political
equality when one race represents all Of
the wealth and intelligence and the other
represents all Of the ignorance, and pow
erty is one Of startling difficulty. The
South is struggling with It honestly and
the South will have the burden Of its
failure, as well as the long drawn out
agony Of it's trial to bear.
The good people OF the country
everywhere should do what lies in their
power to assist in composing the trouble.
No good citizen should do or say anything
to excite or aggrsvate the feelings OF
either party. This is especially incum-
bent on those who are absolutely ignor.
ant of the situation Ia the South.
The way to compose any trouble is not
to aggravate it, The meetings of the

indianapolis were intended to excite not
to compose the feelings Of the parties at

rhe suit was not instituted until April

tons:
Defendant pleads the statute OF limitations;
aud claims that section 5 of chapter 60 of
the General statutes of 1878 does not apply
10 executors AID administrators, and that
the question whether plaintiffs right OF
setion is barred must be determined solely
by the provisions Of section 10 Of the same
