THE HOUSE OF MEYER.

The house Of Never is built, they say.
Just over the hills Of the By-andBy.
Its gates are reached by a devious way
Hidden from all but an angels eye.
1t winds about and in and out
The hills and dales to sever,
Once over the hills of the By-and-By
And you are lost In the house Of
Never.
The house OF Never Is filed with waits,
With just-in-a-minutes and pretty soons.
The noise Of the wings as they beat at
the gates
Comes back TO earth in the afternoons.
When shadows fly across the sky
And rushes. rude endeavor,
To question the hill of the By-and-By
AS they ask for the house of Never.
The house Of Never was built with tears,
And lost in the hills Of the By-and-By
Are million hopes and a million fears,
A baby's smile and a woman's cry.
The winding way seems bright to-day,
Then darkness falls forever,
For over the hills of the By-and-By
Sorrow waits in the house Of Never.

Dear Children
This month there was a redoubled IN

those competing did exceptionally well.
Dudley r. Johnston, Sebie Midyette and
Marmaduke Atkinson together with John

solutions TO the numbers for the entire
month had more than four incorrect.

grati1ed when any OF my little folks
manifest their interest by sending me an
original story. but, % course, I cannot
promise to publish everything that they
send. You know that no success is at
tained without effort, and you must not
be discouraged II occasionally I decline
TO publish what to you seems a very good
story indeed. To both Carrie and Mary.
then, I will say that their work is highly
creditable. yet It is not quite suitable for
publication; so try again, little women,
and see II success does not crown your
efforts. Sincerely. FATHER TIMES.

ANOTHER y~IRGINIAN IN THE SENATE

The election of a Democrat from North
Dakota assures Demo cratic control of
that body after March 4th, and, in the
election of William n. Roach as success
sor to Senator Casey. we have not only
a Democrat Of the Cleveland school. but
a loyal sen of Virginia as well.
1t is stated of Mr.. Roach that he was
born in Virginia, AMI has hved In Dakota
for only thirteen years past. During that
brief period. however, he has ranked
among the more influential ltaders Of the
Democratic party there. While the party
was an Insignificant minority he twice
led a foriorn hope as its candidate for
Governor. He has served in the Legisla-
ture and as mayor of Larramore City. A
farmer by occupation and an energetic
citizen by inclination, he has done much
to advance the welfare of the young state
from which he halls.
His appearance in the Senate will be a
welcome addition to the Democratic mem
bership. 1t gives the Democrats. with
out the aid of the Populists or the States
still contested a vote of A. With the
casting vote Of Vice-President Stevenson
the incoming administration will have a
sufficient support or most essential ques-
tons. There is every reason TO believe
that the Populists viii act with the Demo-
Gratis on organization. and. with the ex-
ception of silver. on other issues Of legis-
lation in the near future.
Whether the supposition is realized or
not, however, the days of Republican as
tendency are at an end certainly for
years. perhaps forever. And We are glad
that they were put to an end by a Vir-
g%inian.

Chased Nv via box Car.

that was appalling. If it struck us we
We're gone sure, for il woui smash the
entire train into kindling wood and pie
il up in one of the sorges. our only hope
was either TO outrun or wreck It. The
engineer caught sight OF it at the same
instant that / did. and Put the lever down
among the tailow pots.
1T appeared impossible that we could
hold the track on the sharp curves while
moving more han a mile a minute, but
we did. and the box car continued TO saw
wood. II we could once get to the foot
OF the grade we would be safe, but that
was soon seen to be impossible. Rapidly
as We were going. the box car continued

that II was lOade with iron. Something
must be done. and that quickly. All the
passengers had fed into the forward
coach, and were hanging on to the seats.

brake hard on the rear coach, pulled the
pin, and the engineer opened the throttle.
We had not gone one hundred yards be

THE RIGHTS OF COUNSEL IN COURT.

The trial Of DR.. Parkhurst's wretched
blackmailing spy, Charles W. Gardner, in
New York. produced an incident in court
on Monday which touches a matter Of
the highest and last importance to the
liberties and rights of the citizen. One of
the lawyers defending Gardner was
named Con. There was considerable fric-
ton during the trial between him and the
Tieslding judge. Recorder Smyth. which
rcsulted in the Recorder making specific
written charges against the lawyer, On
which he was required to show cause
why he should not be punished for con-
tempt of court, and these charges came
on for trial before the Recorder on Mon
day last. Messrs. Choate and Sewen, two
of the leading lawyers Of the bar Of New
York city. appeared as volunteer counsel
for Mr.. GOff. At the end Of the hearing
the Recorder %adjudged him guilty of con-
tempt and fined him 500, and in doing SO
he perpetrated a fragrant outrage upon
the rights of every lawyer and Of every
citizen who has to be represented in
court. against which We raise our voice
in most solemn protest.
We take the following account Of the
judges charges from the New York Tri-
bune. The first specification OF CONTEMPT
was based upon the following d~iolocle
that occurred during the trial between the
judge and Mr.. Gon:
The Recorder: l will allow him Olr.
Gof) TO go on a little longer.
Mr.. Con: l object 20 Your Honor's re-
mark that you wall let me so on a little
longer. / submit with respect that ( have
a right TO c-ross-eXamine the witness.
The Recorder: The Court has not said
you could not. On the contrary. when
the district attorney objected. the Court
said it would allow you 10 go on a little
longer.
Mr. Gof: hat is the remark l objected
TO. Your Honor-saying 1 might go on a
little longer.
The Recorder: You may take your OBJ
jection 20 that remark and your execution
10 1t. Go IN with some business.
Mr.. Con-: l object again TO Your Hon
or's remark to me TO 50 on with business;
/ am going on with the business in exam
lining this witEess.
The Tribune then continues:
The second specification told of Lille
Clifton testifying that she had seen Cap
tain Devery on October 18th. The Re-
corder reminded the defendants counsel
that the witness had before said that the
date was November 2lst. Mr.. Gof said:
I'VE object TO Your Honor's refreshing
the memory Of the witness by an obser-
walton from YOU minutes" The Recorder
explained his remark and said: II am not
refreshing the witness memory. and |
have no desire 10 do so. and you have no
right TO say that" Mr.. Goff replied: II
have a right. and 1t is manifest here, and
! do II with respect" After furthor
words Mr.. Con again declared that the
Recorder had refreshed her memory.
The universal law governing a case of
this Kind is perfectly understood. The
lawyer has no risat TO pursue q course

GENERAL ~BEAUREGARD.

The death OF General Beauregard is an
nowhere in the South. He was one Of her
most iilustrious citizens. and though he
never established himself in the hearts
OF her people as Robert.E. Lee and Stone
wall Jackson did, he rendered services TO
her during the wal that were OF the high
est merit and Importance.
In the two most important and critical
operations Of the war In which General
Beauregard bore a chief part. 1t was his
misfortune TO hold chief command during
a part only Of the proceeding. At first
Manassas he was superseded in supreme
command by General Joseph L. Johnston
at the climax Of the battle. He came
into command at shiloh after General 4.
S. Johnston had fallen. and was, there
fore, interjected 20 finish operations de-
signed by another. What he would have
done at Manassas had he remained IN
supreme command TO the end Of the day,
we can. Of course, only conjecture; and
what he would have accomplished at
Shiloh had he originated the operations
and been in touch with them from the
start will never be known. All we know
Is that his military reputation is not
what II would have been had events been
different on each Of those occasions.
But Beauregard had great reputation as
a soldier during the war, and that repu-
tation has gained rather than lost since
the war. His defense Of Charleston will
stand forever as one OF the most glorious
operations OF any war. Percy Greg a y
OF 1t in his history of the United States:
In the annals OF the Federal army and
navy there is no exploit comparable to
the defense of Charleston harbor. II
would not be easy to match it in the
records OF European warfare"
General Lee entertained a great opin-
ion Of General B~eauregard. 1t is not gen.
orally known. but when he commenced his
movement from Fredericksburg to Get
tysburg, he earnestly pressed upon Mr..
Davis and the Secretary of War the col
lection OF every available Confederate
soldier at Culpeper Courthouse, to con-
stitute an army threatening Washington
during his movement. and he persistently
urged hat this arm should be put under
General Beauregard. The publication of
the Rebellion Records" has brought out
this fact.

Hon. Allen w. Thurman, Of Ohio. son
OF the old Roman, has presented a plan
OF his own for supplying banks with a
basis for circulation, without neeessita-
ting the issue Of new bonds. He would
make silver dollars the substitute for
bonds. the banks being authorized TO
issue notes on the deposit of silver dol
lars with the United States Treasury, in
the same WI as they are now required
TO deposit bonds. He is OF the opinion
that the banks would find 1t more salts
factory than the present method. es-
pecially as the bonds now in existence
are hard TO get, and command too large
a premium to be profitable. and it is I'M
desirable 10 issue more bonds for the
sake Of keeping the national banks run
ming.
