LOVES COMING.


Love came to me in life so late
That time had closed the outer gate
So late it seemed the door was barred,
Bolts shot, and all the house rough SCARED
That owned my habitation gave no sign
OF welcome to the god benign,
For Love with all his power divine
Had come 50 late.
II seemed that none would ever come
In answer to his knock, though some
Sweet thought stirred restless in my breast,
Uneasy walked from its long rest;
So strange we're such fair visitors that when
Love came and called and called again
II was at first in vain. for then
1t seemed to late.
No chamber had my soul prepared
Against hIs coming, lone had dared
Foretell his advent, il did seem
More of a sweet, unstable dream
Before his summons, sweet and clear, rang out
Waking the drowsy lidded rout
OF fancies, passion sweet, his shout
Seemed all 100 late.
No rich feast had been spread for him;
All the guest chamber lights burned dim,
For few had come that way to claim
A resting place-e'en tickle fame
Had fed long, long before Love came
And yet the close gates opened wide
At his approach; bolts shot aside;
All the bright soul lights famed, and loud
Rang out the welcome Of the crowd.
Ny souls best minstrelsy did welcome him,
Bright grew nay dimmest darkest dream,
For after all it did not seem
Love came too late.

are of all sorts and sizes, good methods and
bad methods; and Mr.. Kaneko will be
taxed somewhat severely to understand what
the purpose of all the legislation
is. Some of the arbitrary acts of Speaker
Reed will commend themselves to the inno-
cent Japanese soul, and it is quite reason
able to believe that the system by which the
majority silences the minority in Congress,
with the addition say of Lord High Exc
cutioner, would not be out of place in Japan.
IfMr. Kaneko faithfully reports what he
sees in Washington he will probably be in
vited to perform the happy dispatch upon
his return home, as malignant false wit
ness. From the remote elevation of Toxic
the true inwardness of the greatest talking
machine on earth would be incredible. But
the probability is that Mr.. Kaneko will not
penetrate beyond the rind, as it were, and
he will carry back to Japan only such OBJ
servations as his royal master can easily

THE REDUCTION OF THE DEBT.

The statement furnished by Controller
Morrow, to the Census Bureau, concerning
the municipal debt of Pittsburg, calls atten-
tion to the gratifying fact that the debt, less
amount in sinking fund, has been reduced
from s14, ,669, 900 in 1880 to $40 026, 900 at the
beginning of this year.
This gratifying decrease of S4,640, 900 is
to be credited to the strict adherence to the
policy of devoting set portion of the city's
revenue, either to the purchase Of its own
bonds or to investment as a sinking fund in
some form. Whatever other criticisms are
possible concerning the municipal govern
ment, this requirement of keeping up the
steady discharge of the debt has been faith
fully observed, and the consequence is that
the debt mas been reduced nearly one-third
within the past ten years.
The same policy can be made to yield
much better results during the coming
decade. Interest charges will be decreased.
both by the refunding and by the retire.
ment, of the bonds as they fall due. With a
faithful adherence to the policy of paying
the debt and reducing the interest charges,
Pittsburg, ought, by the middle OF the
decade, to. reduce its debt and interest charge
to so low q rate that it will form no ap-
preciable figure in the tax levy.

AN UNEXPLAINED PREFERENCE.

It is rather difficult to perceive, if the
statement of the facts are correct on what
grounds the special enactment proposed in
Congress. giving the widow of General
Hazen pension of 500 per month, is sup
ported. Where the widows OF distinguished
officers have been left with slender means, il
has been correctly considered proper to give
them pensions larger than would be awarded
by the general pension laws. But Hazen's
services as a division commander, while
creditable, were not SO much beyond. those
of hundreds others as to call for a special
exception, and instead of his widow being in
straitened circumstances. it is stated that she
has a fortune in the neighborhood of half a
million dollars. II it is the intention Of
Congress that all widows of division COM
manders shall have a pension of S100 per
month, it should pass general act to that
effect. If it is not, it is difficult to perceive
what ground there is for special prefer
ence in the Hazen case, except the ever
active lobbying powers of social infiu-
ences" at Washington.

happy time. None Yihe members of the
party will talk out, ~ somebody is drop
ping sly little hints and inuendos about
the trouble. There has been considerable
talk about piano which was on the Pensa-
cola when she left New York, but disap-
peared before she returned. 1t is curious
that piano should have figured at all in the
outfit of an astronomical expedition. fit had
been telescope, or some other instrument of
scientific use, it would have been eligible
enough for passage on board the Pensacols;
but pianoi What was it there for? Some
body suggests that it was to see how the
musical instrument stood the test of climatic
variations. That is vague enough, brit to
befog the matter more the piano never came
back for exhibition. Whether it now lies in
the vicinity of the gentleman, whose name is
no more mentioned, at the bottom of the sea,
or WIS inhumanly set ashore at Barbados.
is not entirely clear.
One thing is plain: The piano did not
contribute to the harmony OF the party. II
it stayed in tune in spite of relaxing sea
breezes and marine pianists, the party did
not. The eclipse of the sun. which the e1pe-
dition went out to see, appears to have been
eclipsed by partial obscuration of good sense
and good humor among the scientists.
