1t is refreshing in the mass of fugitive
love poetry of the day to come across as
really good and sweet a little poem as this
that we find in the Richmond Dispatch OF
Sunday; it's fancies are very sweet.
TO WESTERN GIRL.
written for the Dispatch.)
Though miles between us intervene,
The star that by thine eye is seen
The same effulgeDcs sheds on me
And nightly brings me thoughts OF thee.
The sun that in the west declines
With equal radiance on thee shines,
And loving messag &c daily takes
Which my fond hearts thought for thee
makes.
The breeZes from the west that blow
ever welcome, for l know
That on them thou hast breathed each day
And sent them on their welcome way.
The moon that sheds its mellow beams
To thee tells all my hearts dear dreams.
1t need not tell thee that of thee
NV thoughts, awake or sleep, must be.

The Regiment.

The people of Richmond do not like to
hear anything about the possibility of the
First Regiment being disbanded. 1t would
be easy enough to disband 1t. but to reor-
ganlze 1t might be a difficult work. For
all that we know to the contrary. many
men who are now In the regiment would
drop out never to return should an order
for disarmament be made. DISARMAMENT
should only be resortcd 10 at the very
last-when every other expedient mas
failed-as n dire extremity, in short.
1t is inconceivable TO the general public
what 1t Is that prevents RECOMMENDATION
of the disagreeng officers. 1t is matter
OF mystery. Nevertheless. the trouble
may be so deep-seated as to be beyond
cure. Lord Byron is reported to have
said, In answer to one who asked him
what was the origin Of the controversy
between him and his wife. that IT was
too trifing TO be remembered. so II may
be with the regiments officers. But II
the disscreeing officers can't effect re-
Cancellation they can at least show their
love for the regiment by resigning-and
this Is what the court of inquiry suggest
cd that they should do.
We feel sure that we voice public feel
ing when we reiterate our advice to the
disagreeing ofIlcers-to reconcile their diff
ferences IL possible: If not. to resign.
Our people do not wish to see the regi-
ment disintegrated or disbanded. Should
serious harm come to the regiment as the
result of the present trouble the people
OF Richmond would hold to severe ac-
couniability those responsible for the di-
ca fer

The New York World says: Perhaps
there is room for surprise at the cabled
announcement that the Russian Govern

SO to any practical extent, but In spite
OF It's reputation for extreme severity OF

which Is theoretically adapted to cotton
growing. Southeastern RUSSIA Is warmer

the coast Of the Crimea has an almost

nirectors should Direct.

Referring TO the recent bank defaIca-
ton In Lexington. Va, the Jacksonville
Hla.) Citizen says: THE great fault OF
business life In America is the careless
ness that pervades It. Men who are put
in charge of great enterprises take for
yranted that everything Is going right and
do not bother themselves to make sure.
SO long as subordinate is regular in
his habits they too often see no reason
for examining his accounts. This reck-
lessness may even go so far, as In the
Lexington case. that bad habits on the
part Of a cashier will not stir directors
up to a sense OF their duty. We must
have a revival OF the sense OF obligation.
The man who consents to become direct
or Of bank must realize that he as
sumes a real responsibility. and that he
Ia guilty OF n breach OF duty when ms
negligence permits a cashier TO run away
with the funds. Directors should direct.
That is a lesson which has been thorough
ly taught during the past two years.
