The Louisville Post is authority
for the following alleged romance
in the career of Justice White:
It will probably be of interest to
the Louisville people to know that
Senator Edward White OF Louisiana,
who has just been appointed to the
Supreme bench by President Cleve-
land to succeed Judge Blatehford,
once had a serious love affair with a
handsome young woman of this city.
He at that time was a prominent at.
torney ia LonisiaEa, but had always
been too busy to enter extensively
into the. fashionable whirl. He pre-.
ferred devoting his time to his pro-
fession. and when he was introduced
to a louisville girl,who was in New
Orleans attending the Mardi Gras,
he was not what was termed a
social lion," though men held him
in the highest respect, while the
women who were fortunate enough
to known him admired him greatly.
He was charmed by the beauty of
the fair Kentuckian and was at her
side constantly while she was in
New Orleans. When she returned
10 Louisville he followed her and
pressed his suit, but with no en-
couragement. The father of the
girl, who prided himself on his high
social standing, opposed the match
throwing all obstacles in his power
in the way Of his daughters sutton.
She, toe, was Influenced against him
and he returned to his home feeling
that his visit had been anything but
Ia prosperous one. He came back
to Louisville a second and even a
third time, but met with the came
dlscouraging reception, and after
his last visit he returned to New
Orleans and devoted himself more
closely than ever to his work. He
has rapidly advanced until now he
is one OF the most prominent men in
the country-at forty-eight a {. S.
Senator and Justice of the Supreme
Court of the nation. The girl has
since married and is still living in
this city.

LIFE LEAVES.

The day, with it's sandals dipped in dew,
Has passed through the evenings golden
gates,
And q single star in the cloudlass blue
For the rising moon III silence waits;
While the winds that sigh to the languid
hours
A lullaby breathe DER the folded flowers.
The lilies nod to the sound of the stream
That winds along with lulling flow,
And either awake, or halt. a%-drealn,
| pass through the realms of long ago;
While faces peer with many a smile
From the bowers of memory's magic isle.
There are joys and sunshine, sorrows and
tears,
That check the path of life's hours,
And a longing wish for the coming years,
That hope ever wreathes with the fair
est flowers:
There are friendships guileless--love as
bright
And pure as the stars in the halls of night.
There are ashen memories, bitter pain,
And buried hopes, and a broken vow,
And, an aching heart by the reckless main,
And the sea breeze tanning a pailid
brow;
And q .wanderer on the shell-lined shore,
Listening for voices that speakno more
There are passions strong and ambitions
And the fierce desire to. stand in the van
Of the battle of ife-and the heart of the
child
Is crushed in the breast of the strng-
Cling man;
That fall at the tomb of vanished years
There are quiet and peace, and domestic
love,
And joys arising from faith and truth,
And q truth unquestioning, far above ~
The passionate dreaming of ardent
youth;
And kisses of children on lip and cheek,
And the parents bliss, which no tongue
can speak.
There are loved one lost! There are little
In the distant dell, meath protecting
trees,
Where the streamlet winds. and the violet
waves,
And the grasses sway to the signing
breeze;
And we MOURN for pressure of tender lips
And the light of eyes darkened in deaths
eclipse.
And thus, as the glow ON the daylight dies
And the nights first look to the earth il
cast,
/ gaze, meath those beautiful summer
skies, .
At the pictures that hang in the hall O.
the past;
O! sorrow and joy chant a mingled lay,
When to memory's wildwood we wander
away!

hands full in the little suit filed by
Miss Pollard against him for a
breach of promise to marry. She is
a little woman and be is a big man
but she is giving him more than he
can well stand up to. The Hawaiian
matter, the income tax, and the tariff
are dead issues to him. He has
graver business than all these to
attend to and is exerting himself in
keeping Miss Pollard from knocking
a hole in his per diem.-Farmerville

Judging by the reports published
by Bradstreet's, business seems to
be somewhat on a standstill through

couraging outlook ere long. Legis'

the Wilson bill is chiefly the cause
for so much business stagnatiop. We
hope that something will turn up for
the best interests of our country,
both at home and abroad.
