his family His colored coachman who had
suddenly become insane, came in with dou-

Cooley saw at once what was the matter, told
him he agreed with him and would see it done
himself. The insane man became Modified,

Judge at once telephoned for the police and
had him taken care of.

The Albuminous Poem Of the Century, by
Bill Nye.

There is nothing that soothes and lulls to rest
lied chiefly with statistics, like sweet little
oem that one can readily understands love
Demand SO give one here that found in an
human albuminous poem, as it Were-Which
wrote many years ago and found yesterday on
he centre table where | used to spark but
there now, alas! she is another's.
First Verse.
my darling, o my darling,
VIII thou ever think OF me?
For my darling, for my darling,
will ofttimes think of thee.
And my darling. oh my darling,
When Outlines think of thee
1t will be indeed pleasure
If you erstwhile think of me.
Thus my darling, oh my darling,
Should you erstwhile think OF me,
Whilst my darling, oh my darling,
shall Outlines think of thee,
We will think about each other
Till the bright eternity.
Second Verse.
1t is fun to write poem
While pause to think of thee.
For know you'll not forget me
While you pause to thi4Ik of me.
Thus adown life's sunburnt pathway
LOiter to think of thee,
For hope and trust that also
You may sometimes think of me.
Third Verse.
1t is not so very wearing
On the thinker, l can see,
Just to think of you, my darling,
AS you doubtless think of me.
So, my darling, as stated,
If your thoughts are true to me,
l will do some heavy thinking,
Oh my darling, just for thee
And We'll think about each other
Till the bright eternity.
Yours Truly,
Bill NYE.

We must thank our excellent cotempo-
rary the Goodson Gazette on behalf of our
Nh. Boyzy, for the following kind notice.
AS MI. Boyzy grows older he appears to us
to grow more conceited, and fuller of him
self and his opinions than ever, and if the
editor of the VINDICAToR were to turn
him loose to acknowledge any compliment
to his observations, "he would swamp the
paper:
'"Ihe Staunton INDICATOR passed its forty
fifth volume on the 3rd inst. 1t is an ably
edited paper, and an exchange we prize. We
always read it with much pleasure and in
terest, especially the pithy articles of P. Boyzy
We wish him and his paper long, prosperous
lives"

NOTHING SATISFIES THEM.

The Virginia farmers have hard time
If they do nothing they are reproached with
sloth and lack of progress. If they try to
do anything that looks like enterprise, some
attorney in the legislature jumps on it and
says there is nothing in it and that they are
spending money for nothing. Not long ago:
for the first time in its history, Virginia
through its Board of Agriculture composed
of practical farmers, made real practica
effort to attract land buyers to her soil.
The Board appointed Judge Charles Graf
tan to be immigration Commissioner, and
the Judge has spent months in Penn
sylvania, Ohio and the Northwestern States,
delivering lectures to the people on the a6-
vantages Of Virginia, hunting out neigh
borhoods where emigration was contempla-
ted, circulating pamphlets descriptive of
our soil, &C., and generally earning the
money paid for his work as faithfully
as ever an attorney earned a fee. In the re-
port OF the legislative proceedings in the
Richmond Dispatch. we find the following
description given of this work from an at
torneys point of view:
s'Mr. Harrison threw good deal of humor
and sarcasm into his speech, especially when
referring to the work of the Commissioner
of immigration, Judge Charles Grattan, who
devoted the spare time from his duties on the
bench to this field, which cost the State 81 900,
and Judge Grattan's expenses amounted to
over $500 more. AS soon as anything was
heard here of cyclone in the West, Judge
Grattan, the speaker said, would hurry out
there to follow in its trail, and the great cost
of these trips the State had to pay for
The day may possibly come in Virginia
when the farmers thereof may take the
management of it's affairs into their own
hands. When they do, they may possibly
inquire whether it is not just as economi-
cal to give man 81 800 for whole year S
work in trying to bring settlers to Virgin
ia, as it is for the legislature to pay man
$4,000 for attending to single law case,
and like expenditures for professional SER
vices

What is compulsory pilotage? Is it pilot
age at all? Or is it making vessel pay be-
cause it does not need pilot? A little school
girl said that pins saved many peoples lives.
and upon being questioned as to how this was
done, replied, by not swallowing them" So
1t is with compulsory pilotage. 1t saves MANY
vessels by their not employing the pilots.
Richmond Dispatch.
Compulsory pilotage is based on the same
principle that the revenue tax for support
ing the life stations is, and that the individ-
ual seaman's hospital tax is. Not one vessel
IN thousand, and not one sailor in a hun
bred ever avails of either, but all the same
both are wise and beneficent institutions
Compulsory pilotage, like the two mention
ed, is a measure for the safety of the pub
lie, and rises, OF ought to rise, superior to
local interests.

4 GOOD CONTENT ON THE TARIFF

Last week Mr.. George A. Macbeth, a
glass manufacturer of Pittsburg, Pa, APP
peared before the Ways and Means Com
mittee of the House of Representatives at
Washington which is engaged in taking
testimony in order to frame tariff bill.
Mr.. Bayne is one of that committee. The
following dialogue took place:
s'Mr. Bayne-If the Germans came into COM
petition with you with their lower rates of
wages could you compete with them on your
one hundred and eighty varieties of lamp
shades outside of this country?
Mr.. Macbeth-Give me free material or free
trade such as England has, and give me the
proper products of my labor, and 1 defy any
competition on the face of the EARTH
MI. Bayne-And pay your workmen the
wages you now pay them?
Mr.. Macbeth will pay them more,
Mr.. Bayne-How much do you pay them on
the average?
Mr. Macbeth-About four and half dol
lars day.
Mr.. Bayne-Do you claim that you could
pay your men four and a half a day if the
Germans could manufacture the same kind of
chimney and employ the same amount of labor
at, say, two and a quarter day?
Mr. Macbeth-Yes, sir.
Mr. Bayne-You could, under this condi-
ton, compete with the German manufactur-
ers
Mr. Macbeth-Yes, SIR
Now take these assertions of a large
American glass manufacturer and bear
them in mind as you read the following list
of tariff taxes, which, under the name of
protection, have to be paid by the people of
this country on the glassware they use:
Glass bottles (empty), so per cent.
Bottles, exclusive of contents, 40 per cent.
Bottles containing liquor, 70 per cent.
Glass, cut, engraved OF colored, 45 per cent.
Window-glass, not over 10X16 inches, 66 per
cent
Window-glass, over 1Ox16, under 16x24
inches, 115 per cent.
Window-glass, over 16X24, under 24X3O
inches, 127 per cent.
Window-glass, above 24X3O inches, 131 per
cent
Plate-glass, over Ax3O, not over 24xoO inch
es, II per cent.
Plate-glass, above 24xeo inches, 144 per
cent.
Plate-glass (silvered), 81 per cent.
Miscellaneous, 40 per cent.
These figures look conclusive do they

We last week expressed the opinion that
the Circuit Judges of Virginia should re-
ceive $500 a year. Since reading the
proceedings in the court held by Judge Nc
Laughlin at Fredericksburg last week, we
move to make the salary $1,000. Where
ourjudges hayeto umpire civllsuits wherein
the witnesses are called liars by the law
yers, and the lawyers themselves beat each
other over the head with sticks and ink
stands, contrary to the Marquis of Queens
berry's rules, we think $4,000 is little
enough.
We have received the 1890 almanacs of
the Baltimore Sun and the Philadelphia
Record. Both are valuable for their gener-
al facts and their political statistics,
