WAITING.

He is coming! he is coming! in my throbbing
breast feel it,
There is music in my blood. and it whispers all
day long
That my love unknown comes toward me! All,
my heart he need not steal 1t,
For 1 cannot hide the secret that 1t murmurs in
its song.
Oh! the sweet bursting flowers! how they open,
never blushing,
Laying bare their fragrant bosoms to the kisses
of the sun!
And the birds-I thought twas poets only read
their tender gushing,
But l hear their pleading stories and know
them everyone.
''He is comingl'' says my heart; may raise my
eyes and greet him;
/ may meet him any moment-shall know him
when see?
And my heart laughs back the answer-I can tell
him when meet him.
For our eyes will kiss and mingle ere he speaks a
word to me.
oh, I'm longing for his coming-in the dark my
arms outstretching:
To hasten you, my love, see 1 lay my bosom
bare!
All! the night wind, L 5hudder, and my hands are
raised beseeching-
1t walled SO light death-sight that I. passed me
in the airl

ties and Is Ready for Dissolution.
PHILADELPHIA, March S-Charles r. Nc
Michael Esq, to-day made application to the
Court of Common Pleas No. 4 Judge Wilson
presiding, in the matter of the petition of the
Credit Mobilier Company, of America, tor dis
solution. The accounts show that the corpora
ton is possessed of the account and office
books and papers used by it in its business,
which are of no value. and that the corpora
ton has no outstanding obligations of any
kind, and is n OF indebted to any person. firm or
corporation.
Mr.. Benjamin F, Ham, who has been the
treasurer since 1872 AYERS that prior to 1872 and
during SAID period the corporation had no as
sets or property except claims to certain lands
in Iowa and Nebraska. and claims against the
Union Pacific Railroad Company and Its sue
cessor, the Uniop Pacific Railway Company, all
of which claIms were contested. In Deeem-
Der. 1889. the corporation entered into settle
ment with the Union Pacific and gave up all
claims against it, it in return giving general
release to the Credit Mobilier. The corpora
tion, prior to 1890 was party to various suits
and proceedings IN the state and CreuIs
Courts. but in December, 1889. an adjustment
and settlement of all suits and proceedings was
had, and they were dismissed or dlscontlnueu.
There are now no pending claims In demands
against the corporation.
The petition for the dissolution is signed by
Artemus II. Wohnet, President. and Jonn
Rodgers. Secretary. 1t states that the Credit
Mobilier was created under the name of the
Pennsylvania Fiscal Agency by an act of Leg
islature of Pennsylvania approved November
l, 1859. The name was changed to THE Credit
Mobiler OF America" by act of March 26, 1864.
The petition is presented with the consent OF a
majority of meeting of the corporators. and
with the consent of all the directors, stock
holders or shareholders, duly convened. All
taxes due the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
have been fully paid into the State treasury,
and the certificates of the Auditor General, the
State Treasurer and the Attorney General to
the effect are appended. MIR. McMichael moved
to appoint an auditor, but the Judge thought
that where there were no accounts to audit an
auditor would be of little use. He took the
papers and held them there under advisement.

MORTGAGES AND CURRENCY

Senator Leland Stanford is reported to
have taken up new idea-that of putting
the Government into the business of loaning
money on real estate mortgages at or per
cent interest, for long periods. As the
money thus loaned would be the Govern
ment's own notes, the plan would be the es-
tablishment on one hand of an agency where
the people could negotiate approved mort
cages very cheaply, and on the other, for an
indefinite expansion of the national currency
on basis of landed security.
1t is rather surprising after twenty years
of fighting over the question Of paper money,

RUss1A,s DESPERATE CONDITION

The story which is told elsewhere by an
escaped Russian political prisoner, of the
arbitrary Imprisonment which he suffered
simply on account Of the suspicious of the
imperial police. is a striking corroboration
of the disclosures made by Mr.. Kennan. 1t
is not to be wondered at that educated men
and women who are subjected to such
tyranny should seek the revenge of dynamite
conspiracies and assassination. Yet, how
ever much the sympathy of democratic ma
tions must be evoked for the victims of
absolutism, it must be also the verdict of
those who perceive the value of law in the
establishment of popular government that
the means of agitation which consist of
dynamite and arson, do not afford the vindi-
cation of their cause.
1t is inevitable that revolution shall come
in Russia. There is hardly any other way
in which military absolutism can be over
thrown. To the men who sacrifice them
selves in educating the Russian peasantry
for a revolution which shall establish cons
titutional Government no less exalted posi-
tion than that of political martyrs CAM be
assigned. But when that revolution comes
il must succeed by civilized warfare in
the name of the people. To seek its success
by dynamite is simply to substitute the
despotism of secret assassination for that of a
military empire; and who can say that the
change shall be for the better?
For the present it is clear that Russia
must continue under the present reign of
absolutism and injustice. When the up
heaval comes, it will be a social cataclysm
that will make the French revolution seem
like a mild and conservative reform of
political abuses.

A FINE OF s126,ooO, accompanied with
eighteen years imprisonment in the peniten-

scribes fine of double the amount of the de-

BOOM In JAPANESE TRAVEL.
Sir Edwin ArnoId's Delightful Letter.
Bring About the Result.


Bring About the Result.
lBY CABLE TO THE DIsPATCH.I
LONDON, March S.-Sir Edwin Arnold's de-
lightful letters from Japan to the Telegraph,
of which he is editor, have created boom in
Japanese travel, and many English people are
journeying thither this spring. Arnold, as all
who read his letters know, is charmed with
Japan and its people, but few of his friends
would care to believe that he would give up
Europe for Cathay. Nevertheless an attache
of the Telegraph informs me that it is believed
in that office that Arnold will take up his resi-
dence and spend the rest of his days in Japan.
''Sir Edwin" said my informant, 'is an ORR
entalist by disposition and temperament. and
the hurlyburly of the practical world has al
ways jarred upon his sensitive moral organiza-
ton. He is man of the gentlest character. 1
never heard him use harsh or discourteous
word He is polite to a crossing sweeper or a
cabman. He would be courteous to woman
who annoyed him in the street. In Japan he has
found the exact environment he has always
craved, and We very much fear that he will no t
return to Europe"
