THE BELLS OF LIFE.

The birth bells are ringing a joyous chime
For u white soul laid in the lap of love,
A spirit flower from the fields above,
To bloom for day on the shores of time.
The wedding bells swing to their gladdest
notes,
Proclaiming the good that the full years
bring
In the circling band Of the marriage ring,
From the brazen depths of their giant throats.
In the bolfry of time the death bells toll
The entrance to heaven, the end Of earth,
The death that is only a grander birth,
AS life's bondage falls from the passing soul.
Birth bells, marriage bells, death BELLS you
have rung
The story of life since the world was young.

SECRETS OF THE HEART.

Deep down meath the bosom of the ocean,
Unsounded by plummet or line,
AT peace from the storm and connection
That RACES DER its pillows of brine,
There are secrets that time shall not fathom,
There are jewels unknown to earth's mart
AS deep, as true and as precious
Is the voice of the fond, faithful heart.

HOMENTS OF LEISURE,
BREAD is hard work-so
hard, in fact, that all bakers employ
men to do it. Yet there are hun
dreds OF women who perform all this
labor themselves, They forego many

They have an idea that to bake
their own bread means economy, but
here never was Il bigger mistake.
Housewives who buy Bread of me
not only y save little on each loaf, but
they have moments of leisure like

to expect that he would be supported in demo-
cratic measures by all who had been elected
on the same platform as himself. When he
found that the treasury was being depleted
of its gold and that even bankruptcy was
imminent, from causes over which he had no
control and for which he was no way respon-
sible heappealed to Congress for aid but
that august body refused this aid in the coun-
try's greatest emergency But here President
Cleveland showed his self-reliance and firm
ness, as General Jackson was wont to do, by
taking the matter into his own hands and
saving the honor and credit of the country by
his own actions. By judicious financial ar
rangement he checked the depletion of the
gold in the treasury to its last dollar. and so
adjusted the matter that the gold balance has
risen above tina amount required by law.

justice. for the time will come, after the ran

clause of the Constitution. and thereby de

THE NEWS OF THE DAY.

The Charlottesville city council, last week,
reduced the city physicians salary from s24O
to $3.50; Supt. OF gas works from 81 600 to $500
the chief of police from 5000 ito $3.50; combined
the two Offices of Supt. of water and Supt OF
sewerage and fixed the salary at 5000; reduc-
ed the police pay S. a month. and fixed the
salary of the city attorney at $500, and allow
ed the city treasurer per cent. on collec-
tions and no salary. S. NJ. Keller was elect
ed Chief of POLICE, place he had ten years
ago, and DR.. l.. i. Flanagan was chosen
city physician over DR.. R. W. Nelson. The
council refused to cut down the appropriation
for the schools.
Very few ladies know that they carry with
them some 40 or so miles of hair. The blonde
hair being finer than the brown or black, it
may happen in some cases that the length of
all the hair put together will amount to 65
miles OF more. The same German scientist
who is responsible for these statistics has also
figured out the strength and resistance of hui
man hair. The color has much to do with its
tensile strength. A dark brown hair will
carry weight of nearly four ounces, while a
blonde hair will tear at a weight of 2H
ounces The combined wealth of hair of a
woman could, therefore, support a total
weight of from 10 to Is hundredweight.

4 GREAT CHANGE.

When the last congress adjourned there
was net one Virginia Democrat out of a hun
dred-you might say a thousand-who had
the slightest hope Of electing a Democratic
President in 1896. Now there's not one
out of hundred who doesn't hope to
elect him. The times have improved, the
tariff is working well. the President has
kept the ship steady and gotten more bal
last in the Treasury, there is more skilled
employment all over the country, wages
that shrunk so in the hard times are being
raised everywhere, common labor is finding
work, wool under the new tariff has about
doubled its price, wheat is twenty cents
better than it was this time last year, beef
holds its price well-all things are better.
All this compared with last year. Com
pare next year with this, next July, and
the change will be still more marked-there
won't be a peg to hang hard times com
plant on, anywhere. And then the Demo
Gratis will he as keen as greyhounds for
victory in the Presidential race.
1t has been a great change

Judge Beach of the Superior Court of
New York city, has just made an impor-
tant decision regarding the taxation of
church property. The Board of Home
Missions OF the Presbyterian church and
the Board of Foreign Missio:,s of the same
church erected $685., 900 building on the
corner of Fifth Avenue and Twentieth
streets, one quarter of which they occupy
for their work, and the rest they rent out.
They asked its exemption from taxation
on the ground that they were religious cor
porations. The judge decided that the
property was not held exclusively for the
purposes of those corporations, and that
they derived rents from the three quarters
OF it that they did not occupy, and there
fore were not entitled to exemption under
the act relative to religious corporations.

THE ADVANCING TIMES.

1t is still the same welcome story of
advancing wages, silenced industries start
ing up. Money too is seekiI 6 more profit
able investments than it has had, of which
significant fact is that the three per cent.
81 200, COO loan put on the market by the
city of Philadelphia only found bidders for
$235,00O. A year ago every three per cent.
loan offered by that city was eagerly taken.
The drop of eight cents in wheat seems to
have been purely speculative. for corn
which promises the largest crop ever grown
has only declined three eights of a cent.
Wheat it would seem must go back to its
top figure in a few days. 1t seems now as
it the summer season which IS usually dull
but is now active, will lap over into the
fall sea son without change.

CHRISTIAN ACTIVITY.

1t is often heard, especially from the
old, who are fond of looking backwards,
that the earlier days were the better days
and that the world is growing worse. This
as to morals. From the pulpit which is
also given, now and then, to gloomy views,
it is sometimes heard that infidelity and
skepticism are growing, were never SO bold
as now, and these days are worse than the
DAYS of old when infdels were few. There
are more infdeIs to-day, just as there is
more population; infdelity has always ex-
listed. in whatever country there is a re-
ligion there are to he found people who do
not believe in it. But where there is one
new infidel at this day, there are a thou
sand lew Christians. Speaking for this,
our own land, there never has been in it
such exhuberant growth and activity
among Christians in Christian work, as
pare to it in other countries. In the mag
nitude Of its gatherings it leaves political
movements, labor movements, every move
ment of the people far out of sight. Hardly
had the hymns OF the great Epworth Lea
que convention at Chattanooga with its
Twenty Thousand people died away. before
the hymns OF praise were rising in Boston
from the enormous gathering ct Fifty
Three Thousand members of the Christian
EndeaVor. And when those sounds grow
faint the songs of Twenty Thousand mem.

Capt. Wise was badgering and insulting him,
Mr.. Thorn, counsel for Mr.. Massey also
protested against Capt. Wises treatment Of
MI. Massey. saying that Capt. Wise had been
insulting Mr. Massey for three weeks. Capt.
Wise said he was going on with the witness
until he got through with him, and would not
be bluffed by Mr.. Massey. -
Capt. Wise here asked if it has not been said
that he Massey offered to get Mrs. Albert
Mauzy, widow, to marry Jos. F. Effinger if
he (Ehinger) would pay him (Massey) 1000
or $1,000. Mr.. Massey replied that ny state
ment that he had made such an offer is false,
and that the first he ever knew of the state
ment was when the deposition in queston(in
another case) was made. Mr.. Massey was
then asked if it had not once been said (Capt.
Wise had Effinger's deposition to that effect)
that he (Massey) once wrote will for man
and made himself (Massey) the legatee. and
when the man got we'll he (the man) changed
the will. MI. Massey denied this emphat-
ically. Mr. Wise's examination OF Mr.. Mas
sey's accounts continued till adjournment.
Capt. Wise is working to try to show that Mr..
Massey could not have had from legitimate
sources the So, 900 deposited by him in bank in
1890. During the investigation Of expenses
Mr.. Massey raised his right hand and said he
wanted to emphasize the statement that dur
ing his campaigns he never gave as much as a
nickel for any mans vote or influence.
An interesting incident of the day was the
testimony converting Mr.. Massey's presents to
his bride.
Capt. Wise asked Ibid you buy a we'd
ding ring 2"
Mr.. Massey (smiling): I had the good for
tune to have handsome ring presented me,
and it was transferred from one finger to an
other.
Capt. Wise asked in a voice of surprise
mingled with tenderness "Mr. Massey,
didn't you give your bride wedding pres
ent ?''
Yes. sir; gave her handsome set of dia-
mond earrings, and the following year gave
her diamond pin,
Somebody gave you that diamond set,
suppose?
No, sir gave SIS for the earrings.
You haven't got that down in your expense
| account, Mr.. Massey.
OH. no, sir didn't expect to get married

UALLYL INCREASING WRONG
TO THE TAX PAYERS.

In the four years between February,
1888, and February, 1892, the number OF
treasurers who owed balance to the State
of Virginia rose from 2l7 to 252, and the
balances due rose from $455. COS. II to
1929, 273.41. The next legislature should
put an end to the system of individual
a half million dollars, and require State Off
GERS to be bonded by Guarantee companies.
When defaulting treasurers in Virginia
are increasing at the rate of thirteen a
year, OIL one month, it is time the legis-
lature looked for a better way of seeing
that the taxes reach the treasury.

4 MOTEIKORTHY DERATE.

afternoon, which is likely to last for sever
al days. 1t is between w. H. Harvey, the
author Of "Coin's Financial School, de-
Tending the statements in that work, and
Roswell G. HoTr, Maine ex- congressman,
cOntrOverting them. Mr.. Horr IN his
opening each day is confined to one thou
sand words, a little less than column of
the VINDICATOR; Mr.. Harvey replies at
the same length. then there is a rejoinder
from each, and then both men stand ready
to answer any questions put to them by
any of the audience that feel so disposed.
The debate is progressing in the assembly
room OF the Illinois Club. The debate is
appointed to run through seven OF eight
sittings and will extend probably into next
week. Each debater is strictly confined to
the subject in hand
