l,acity for it or the time for it is gone.
This world is full Of fun-and honest,
legitimate fun. Ridiculous things are
everywhere.
Loving our fellow man heartily, hon
estly sympathizing with his weaknesses
as rejecting ours, sharing his sorrows
as it is our privilege and duty to do,
earnestly penitent for our own sins and
faithfully endeavoring to amend them,
Loyalty giving help to our weaker
brother and increasingly striving for
higher and better life, there is no
reason why we may rot with it all
look about US and find in the doipgs
and sayings of an fellow mortals
enough things to laugh at to secure for
US large share of the hepleasure we were
sent into the world to enjoy along with
the pain we were sent into the world
to endure.

From our regular correspondent.

W.suIScroy, March 3.-The general de-
fc,ency bill passed the Senate today, ond
Senator Daniel succeeded in keeping N the
amendment to settle the claims of the State
of Virginia against the United States Gov
ernment. A: history OF this matter was
gwen few days ago in the Dispdich. There
was considerable opposition TO the
amendment. but Mr.. Daniel man
aged the matter well, and his col
league. Mr.. Barbour, in alluding 70
the outcome of the fight this afternoon re-
marked with evident satisfaction that his
senatorial associate deserved great zeal
of credit for what he had done.
Hinder the balancing of these accounts
Virginia will not get any money because
there ere offsets, but IL will settle ola ana
mouIdv accounts and get rid OF debts De-
tween Virginia and the General Govern
ment.

ally find It's way into the POCKETS Oh tne
people in Virginia from whom the taA was
collected.
WELL CARED FOR.
Senator Barbour thinks that the Virginia
interests have been pretty well cared for
hv the disposition Of the various appro-
nyiation bills. Many VirGinlans are also
interested in the French spollatlon ciaims.
There is an appropriation IN the dehclency
hill to nav some OF these claims that nave
already been favorably passed upon by tue
Court of Claims.

Relies of Washington,


DR.. Griffs claimed the credit in his cd.
dress at the Old South on Monday that he
predicted long ago that every scrap of
WashiugtOn's writing, as well as every bit
of his clothing and everything he ever
handled, would IN time have the first value
as relics and if the prices now demanded
by the owners OF the Washington Jric-d-
brae are 10 be taken as any criterion in this
matter the time has arrived now. Itseems
a big price to pay $40. 900 for a sword that
he handled when he was under General
Braddock in 1886 and similar sum for
each OF the other swords which he used
If this rage for the things that Washing.
ton used and left behind him goes on much
further more will be made out of them by
the present happy owners than Washing
tons whole estate was worth at the time
of his death.

The fact that public documents are on

Of I remedying the abuses, sinceif the works

shonld have the widest possible dlstrl6u-
ton consistent with the state OF the ma.

Four wears afterward it was found at a

creep
The fairy stopped at farmers gate
And said. III enter here,
For little mother wants babe
With bright blue eyes that sparkle clear,
And cheeks az pink as the Conch shells
ear,
And curls on its tiny pate.
Now behind this fairy, kind. and true,
Came another sprite called Bug a-boo,
From the land of the Goo-goo-gee.
Oh, he was a nasty pop-eyed elf
That thought too much of his ugly self,
And, between both you and me,
He was after the babe that the fairy
brought
From the depths of the Onyx sea.
When the babe was laid on its mothers
lap
1t clapped its hands with glee,
Aud the fairy said: "Pll leave you here
Ii you will promise me
Neve. to cry or pout or fret.
But be sweet and darling pet
And as good as good can be.
"If ever you are naughty child
And cause your mamma pain,
The sprite from the land of the Goo-goo-
gee
viii come some night down the chlm-nee
And take you away from your mammals
knee
To his cave on the black molasses sea,
And you won't come back again."
But this lovely child was very good,
And Bug-a-boo, you see,
Grew very mad because he could
Not get this fat be-bee:
But he's running around the country yet.
As wild as he can be.
Watching every little pet.
TO see il they cry or pout or fret.
For he says, A child Pm bound to get,
For MY home on the Goo-goo-gee."
