MODERN LYRICS.

Life is full o. beauty
Lots o. love an bliss.
Kinder mixed with duty
Sweeter, too, for this.
Has little painin'-
But we worry through:
Mostly when its rainiu',
SUMS a-shinin', too.
(Rain'S blessin' fiowin'
From the thoughtful skies;
Keeps the crops a-growin' -
Makes the roses rise.(
Live your life an labor.
An you'll find each day
Heaven your nearest neighbor--
Love your peace and pay.
Atlanta Constitution.
The dead leaves rustic at my feet,
The moon is shining brightly;
Something has softly dimmed my eyes,
Across the path one shadow lies,
The path two trod so lightly.
1t was upon night like this
Love left us only sorrow;
! held her hand in mine;
That parting is to me divine.
Then there was no tomorrow.
Since have learned life's lesson well,
Hearts are not easy broken,
Tonight all joys have forgot;
There's something sacred III this spot
Where sweet good-bys were spoken.
I'd feel SIS lonely with myself
If were broken-hearted;
Would could live that night again,
With all its sadnesS-sweetened pain,
When love from love was parted.

Receivers Removed.

MILwAUKEE, Wis, Dec. 2S.-A high
w sensational turn was given to the
Northern Pacific Railroad receivership
situation to-day when Silas w. Petit,
of Philadelphia, the general counsel of
the corporation, appeared before Judge
Jenkins in the U. S. Circuit Court for
the eastern district of Wisconsin and
filed q petition for the removal of the
present receivers, Messrs. Thomas r.
Cakes, Henry C. Payne and Henry G..
Rouse and for the appointment OF
other receivers in their place. The petit
toner makes very serious charges
against Receiver and ex-President Thos.
F. Cakes, Henry Willard and Roswell
G. Rolston, President of the Farmers
Loan and Trust Company of New
York, at the instance of which COM
pany the bill for receivership was
filed. No charges are made, however,
against Receivers Payne and Rouse.
An order has been issued by Judge
Jenkins to show cause why the petition
should not be granted.

Edward C. Goddin, jr., of Richmond,
who was run over by cable car IN
Baltimore on Christmas Day, died at
the City Hospital yesterday. a coro-
ner's jury exonerated the gripman, but
recommended that two conductors be
employed on each train.
Senator-elect Thomas S. Martin has
been confined at his home, in Scots

The treasurer of the Education So

friends elsewhere for their usual ready

1t looks as though no effort would be
made at this session of the legislature
to pass a bill repeating the provision
for compulsory pilotage for coastwise
vessels. Hon. John a. Curtis, who for
number of years had headed the
movement, is understood to have aban-
doned all hope of repeal, at least for
good while to come. Three or four
successive defeats have satisfied the
anti-pilot people that under existing
circumstances they cannot hope to de-
feat the pilot men.

possible that they are conducting still

Virpinia's Debt.

]. K. Upton, former assistant Sec
rotary of the Treasury, who as special
agent of the census bureau investigated
the indebtedness of the several States,
has prepared a general statement. 1t
is generally conceded that any bill for
the repeal of the 10 per cent. tax on
State banks which will receive the ap-
proval of the House Of Representatives
will have as the chief basis of circula-
ton the bonds of several States
According to Mr.. Upton's figures Vir-
ginia could furnish basis for large
circulation on her State debt, about
s25, 100000. Mr.. Upton gives as Vir-
ginia's debt s34 ,227 ,234, but this figure
has been greatly reduced in the last
year OF two by settlements with bond
holders, by refunding at lower rate of
interest and otherwise. The county
debt of Virginia, according to Mr.. Up
toms figures, is S1,774, 535, less sinking
fund, and municipal debt, S14, S35, SAG,
also less sinking funds, and school dis
trict debt, s90,5SS. The total State,
county and municipal debt of Virginia
is, therefore, or was, $50, S37 ,315 or q
per capita debt of $50 20. As large as
the debt of Virginia may appear, it is
not, according to the latest available
figures, as large per capita as that of
Massachusetts, which is $50 AZ. nor that
of Rhode Island, which is S37 rs, nor of
Connecticut, which is s31 rs. None of
these States felt the brunt of war as did
Virginia. They were not impoverished
as Virginia was by an invading army,
and none lost such large slice Of rich
territory as she did when she lost West
Virginia.

A source ofGossip in Society


An incident which recently occurred
at one of the cabinet receptions in
Washington has been the source Of very
considerable gossip in social circles,
and has produced an unpleasantness be-
tween several distinguished democratic
families which has probably come to
stay. On the regular "day" of the wife
of q cabinet minister, two ladies max
ing their rounds in visiting called. One
of the ladies is the wife of member
from the South, long prominent in the
House of Representatives, and the
other the wife of a western member OF
large wealth and unbounded hospital
ity, and who during his career in Con-
gress has achieved national reputa-
ton. The ladies on entering dropped
their. cards into the extended tray OF
the hall boy, and naturally, of course,
started for the drawing room. The
man interposed with the remark that
he would see if his mistress was at
home. This was considered rather
odd, but the callers had no other alter
native but to wait in the hall while the
servant went in with their cards.
Perplexed at what appeared an un-
accountable incivility, their embarrass-
ment was not lessened when they over
heard the cabinet officers wife say to
her servant to tell the ladies she was
not in. They were more amazed at
this for the reason that no one could
mistake the meaning of the reply, mas
much as reception was evidently then
in progress and they heard the voices
of other visitors. They returned to
their carriages, shocked at such treat
ment. One of the ladies informed her
husband as soon as he came home of the
affair. He was so furious that he d.
rected his wife to write to the wife of
the cabinet officer and demand that her
cards be returned. They were sent
back with terse note saying that the
lady of the cabinet could not under
stand why the request was made.
These ladies will not probably call
again at the same house during the
next three and half years. In the
meantime their husbands make the air
blue when the occasion is recalled, and
society is enjoying novelty.

H1cKs's PREDICTIONS Those who
have faith in Hicks as weather proph-
ct and who have observed the remark
able fine and mild weather, for this sea-
sou of the year, since last Friday, the
22d, will be at loss to account for it,
as Hicks predicted that there would be
from the 22d to the Goth winter storms
with supplies of christmas snow"
greatly replenished during the progress
ofthe storms. He says, "The equinox
of Mercury is central with the full
moon on the 22d, which fact is almost
q guarantee that heaUy sleet will be a
characteristic feature of the period.
Men of the ,cires take notice :"
The equinox of Mercury being GEN.
trail with the full moon on the 22d, did
not produce the weather which Hicks
said it would, which proves that it had
nothing to do with the weather, or that
Hicks does not know the kind Of effect
these planets produce. The theory on
which he bases his predictions is false.
The planets do not control the wealth
er, and if they did, as the earth rotates
on its axis and goes all the way round
in "a hours, there would be, within "a
hours, the same kind of weather around
the earth, which all know is not the
case, which proves that the relation of
the planets to each other has no effect
on the weather.-Saunton Spectator.

THE OPPONENTS OF tax on the sur
plus incomes of the rich, for the support
of the government, say such tax
would be "monarchical, un-American
and inquisitorial imposition upon
American tax payers" When such a
tax was collected, it was not supposed
to be either monarchical, un-American
or inquisitorial, and how its character
could have changed so radically in
few wears is hard to tell But even if it
were all that its opponents say OF 1t,
would it not even then be better than
the present tax on the necessaries OF
life ? No body denies that only those
who could we'll afford to pay an income
tax would be forced TO pay it-but
every body comedies that the poor are
compelled to pay almost double price
for every thing they purchase, by rea-
son of the tariff tax, and that they can
i'll afford to do so.
