A Court Decision Against Strikers.

New ORLEANS, March 3d.
Judge Billings, in the United
States court to-day, rendered an
opinion in the suit of the Govern
ment against the Amalgamated
council and the officers of the vars
ious labor organizations which
ordered the general strike in Nov.
ember last. An injunction against
the organizations was asked for
under the act of Congress prohib-
itlng combinations in restraint of
trade. In an elaborate opinion
the court sets aside every claim OF
the defendants and declares that
the acts Of the Amalgamated coun.
Gil and officers of the union were
unlawful in ordering q general
strike, and that the merchants are
entitled to the injunction and other
relief. The decision discusses
fully the rights of labor unions
and is far reaching in it's effects.
As a result of the decision crime
inal prosecutions against the de.
PENDANTS would probably lie. but it
is not yet known whether the
United States authorities will pros
ceed against the alleged labor
leaders.

The churl in spirit, up and down
Along tae scale OF ranks. thro' all,
To him who grasps golden ball,
By blood king, ct heart clown,
The churl in spirit, howe'er he veil
His want in forms for fashion sake,
Will let his coltish nature break
AT seasons thro' the gilded veil
For who can always scti but he
To whom a thousand memories call,
Not being less but more than all
The gentleness he seemed to be,
Best seemed the thing he was, and joined
Each office of the social hour
To noble manners, rs the flowers
And native growth Of noble mind;
Nor ever narrowness nor spite,
No villain fancy fleeing by,
Drew IN the expression of an eye,
Where God and Nature met in light;
And thus he bore without abuse
The grand old name of gentleman,
Detained Dy every charlat1n,
And soiled with all ignoble use.

Green Hands for ConsuIs.

The consular appointments that
being distributed just now are
given out upon the same plan that
has been always pursued, as per-
sonal favors or in recognition of
political services. With the exs
ception of a few prominent posts,
onsnlates have never beer much
sought for by professional polite
ians; it has been rather the ama-
teurs, the gentlemen in politics,
literary men, Journalist, or
young men of influential connec-
tions and with a taste for travel,
for whom these places have been
reserved. Considering the abso-
lutte, inexperience of most of them,
it is strange that our consular SER
vice has never been conspicuousIy
efficient.
The principal business Of a Con.
sui is to look after the commercial
success of many Of our foreign
competitors that the consular sers
vice of most European nations is
recognized career, to which men
are professionally trained and in
which promotion is gained by ex-
perience and achievement. In
truth there is scarcely any branch
of the civil service in which this
sort OF professional conservation is
more essen tial than in the consular
and the subordinate diplomatic
service, and yet these are the only
branches in which we have made
no attempt toward permanent ten~
ure.
Mr.. Bayard had some idea of an
organized consular service but he
found little material to work with,
and the little that he accumulated
was promptly scattered when Mr..
Blaine came in. With very few
exceptions the Consuls were then
all renewed, and now they are to
be all changed again. The changes
may or not be improvements, but
even if the new Consuls were all
absolutely ideal it is not by such
means that we can ever expect to
get consular service that will be
of any real use to the country. We
might as we'll commission new
set of officers for the navy every
four years.
This system has endured SO long
and it's faults are directed appar-
a'e particularly appreciated by
both the executive and legislative
powers, that it is not likely to be
changed very soon. PROBABLY 1t
will be changed at all until our for
eign commerce shall grow more ex~
tended and important, and the need
of efficient consuls to look after it
is orced on public attention.

IN MEMORIAM.
She Was Kind Gentle and Loving
Faithful to God.

From the happy days of fading
youth, from chiidhood's dream of
the days gone by, 1 fain would
pluck bright garlands of memory,
bring them here and with deep
devotion lay them as a loving tri-
butte upon tha newly made grave
of dear loved one.
"Death loves shining mark"
and SO day by day we are called
upoh to lament the departure of
some cherished soul to the land of
dreams and shadows. Youth and
age and childhood fleet, the hons
ofed and the blest of God all wait
alike an inevitable hour..when death
shall claim them as his own. When
the flower is broken i'll its bud.
ding beauty, and the hopes of the
future, like withered leaves, fall
thick in life's fateful tempest, we
shrink with fear from that ruthless
hand, with its leaden sceptre from
whose power there is no earthly rec
demptioD, and in the anguish of
our hearts we exclaim-
"Leaves have their times to fall.
And flowers to wither at the North wind
breath,
And stars to set-but all,
Thou hast all seasons for thine own, Oh
death!'
In the evening of the 10th of
March, the soul of Elva Overman,
tired OF its earthly prisonrhouse.
winged its everlasting flight
to the God who gave it, and
left us to mourn and weep.
Far from father, home and
mother, but tenderly watched by
loving sister and brother, gently
youths silver cord was loosed and
softly "she faded like a cloud
which had outwept its rain," and
like the summer flowers Elva,
sweet Elva was dead.
On the lone hillside. when young she
roved,
They laid the gentle maiden down to
Whas hopes were buried then, All who can
know?
God help the stricken ones who loved her
best
o, Father, Mother, in your lonely home,
So desolate without your best beloved,
To the blest land whree sorrow nc'er can
come,
Nor pain, nor parting, is your child re-
moved.
Your binding tears exclude the heavenly
light,
Beyond the gloom, in realms Of endless
joy,
Among the ransomed, clad in purest
white,
Your child awaits you, the sweet angel
ElYa.

EASTER MORN.
BY NIXON WATERMAN,

Ring, joyous Easter bells! Proc j
To all the world the old, old story,
How One to earth from Heayen came
That men might know the way to
glory,
Aud from each burdened heart this day
May every stone be rolled away.
Ring, happy bells! the Lenten gloom
No longer does our souls imprison.
A light is cleaning through the tomb;
Our Christ, the Saviour, has arisen,
And filth beholds, with vision clear,
The shi ing angel standing near.
Ring, joyful bells! Your tones prolong
Till every priceless soul eternal
Awakes the glad, triumphant song
The angels sing of love supernal-
Till every sepulchre of loss
Takes on the glory of the cross.

cLARKSWLLE SWEPT AWAY.
A Whole Town Lies in Ashes and
Chaos.

OxF -RD, N. G, April 1.-The
entire town of Clarksville, Va, is
in ashes. At 2 o'clock this D. m.
fire was discovered in a house adj
joining Pettingill's store. 1t was
thought to have been extinguished,
but later it was again found that
the store building of PettingiIl was
on fire. A strong gale was blows
ing at the time, and despite the
most strenuous efforts of the
citizens the fire spread rapidly
from building to building, sweeps
everything before it on both sides
of Main street down to the river,
and within two hours the flames
had done their work. Only three
buildings on Main street escaped
the fury of the flames, namely,
the Richmond and Danville depot,
Magee's warehouse, and Bugg's
store at the lower end. AS soon
as the fire was discovered aid was
telegraphed for from Oxford, and
the Oxford fire company, about
one hundred strong, promptly re.
sponded, and reached the city on
special about 4:45, but the town
was then in ashes, yet by their
efforts the R. &. D. depot was
saved. Never was town mere
completely swept away, R. II,
Buggs and Block & Co., dry goods
stores are the only ones remaining.
Most Of the residences, both the
hotels and the Episcopal church
were burned. Two colored men,
whose names were not learned,
we're burned to death. One of
them was seen to 60 into the Alli-
ance warehouse, but the roof falls

The other was rescued in dying

The modern movement to bring
the church into closer touch with
the world does not meet with ap.
proval at Bridgeport, Conn. The
Rev. R. g. S. McNeill, pastor OF
the Second Congregational Church
of that town, had the modern idea
well developed, and when he came
out to preach on Sunday evening
in a dress suit, with a shining
ehirt front and patent leather
shoes, the young ladies thought
him just too sweet. But the elders
and deacons did not share their en-
thusiasm. Mr.. McNeiil's theo-

of it was too much for them. They
