WHAT ARE THE WILD WAVES


w.
WHAT ARE THE WILD WAVES
SAYING?"
What are the wild waves saying,
Sister, the whole Gay long.
That ever amid our playing
I hear but the low lone song?
Not by the seaside only,
There It sounds wild and free.
But at night when IT'S dark and lonely
In dreams 1t is still with me.
Brother, hear no singing,
IT'S but the rolling wave.
Ever It's lone course winging
Over some ocean cave;
IT'S but the noise of water
Dashing against the shore.
And the wind from some bleaker quarter
Mingling with It's roar.
Oh. no: IL Is something greater
That speaks to the heart alone:
The voice of the great Creator
Dwells in that mighty tone.
Yes. but the waves seem ever
Singing the same sad thing.
And vain is my weak endeavor
To guess what the surges sing;
What IS that voice repeating
Ever by night and day.
Is Il q friendly greeting.
Or warning that calls awayT
Brother, the inland mountain,
Hath IT not voice and sound?
Speaks not the dripping fountain
AS II bedews the ground?
Zen by the household iDgle.
Curtained and close and warm,
DO not our voices mingle
With those Of the distant storm?
Oh, yes: but there's something greater
That speaks to the heart alone
The voice of the great Creator
y Dgells In that mighty tone.

THE HOLES IN THE BOAT.
A BottIed-Up Note Says Nicholas Did
NOT bore Them,

Mr.. d. c. Richardson. OF counsel for
Philip Norman Nicholas. the condemned
murderer OF Mills and Wilkinson, was put
IN possession yesterday Of a note that
might prove very helpful to his client If
its author can be found.
II was one OF those mysterious ines
sages from the deep" sent through the
customary black bottle. and from nobody
knows who. Like most communications
OF It's character the note was discovered
In the most casual and accidental way.
Mr.. II. j. Woods. of Chesterfield, dis
covered the mystery. He and his brother
were walking along the river bank onpo-
site the monitors last Thursday waen
the latter picked up a bottle lying near
the waters edge. lie cast the bottle aside
without giving II much thought or atten-
ton but Mr. II. j. Woods picked 1t up
again and found that there was a piece
OF paper inside. lie uncorked the bottle
and took out torn piece OF rough brown
paper. on which was scrubbed the follow

ITO honest IT may consern
This is TO sertify that Mr. Nichlas did

Up. $. Shoe this to the Govener."
ne Richmond Dispatch. The writer who
ever he may have been, certainly had a
practical eye to how the best to get his
message before the public.
Mr. Woods having business In Man.
chester yesterday brought the bottle and
note along. and by advice Of Common
wealths-Attorney Attkisson took them to
Nicholas in the county jail. The prisoner
was greatly elated. and requested his
caller 10 take his find TO Mr.. Richardson.
Mr.. Woods did this. and also made afida-
Wit to the circumstances under which the
note came into his possession. Mr. Woods
said he had heard and read Of the Nicho-
las case but did not know whether thu
man had been hung or not.
Mr.. Richardson is not able yet to say
whether or not he will be able TO make
any use OF this note in his clients behalf.
The Supreme Court Of Appeals meets In
Wytheville tomorrow, but the only ques-
ton that II will be asked to pass upon N
whether or not the Circuit Court Of Hem
rico had Jurisdiction to pass sentence on
Nicholas after the General Assembly had
relieved circuit courts OF the authority

peal II the bottled note is found 20 be

statement OF Mrs. Duke that the wife of
Mills admitted before dying having testi-
fed falsely can be used to induce EXecu,
tive clemency.

minutes, and was Mortified TO find her
ather lying on the floor in an uncOn-
5cious condition. Help was speedily Sc
cured. and the Chief was lifted 10 the
lounge on which he had just been asleep.
Dr. Monteiro bled the pat.ent promptly
and freely, and, together with Dr. Brock,
who arrived few minutes later. worked
on him for some time. Consciousness soon
returned, and Major Poe's power Of
speech was found not TO have been seri-
ously, If at all. impaired. When the
physicians returned. after supper the
Chief was found 10 be slightly more COM
Portable, and he was removed from the
lounge TO the bed
While Major Poe has a sammy, cheerful
disposition, his intimate friends have
known for some time that he felt rather
low-spfrited. The loss OF his wife some
months ago was a blow from which he
has never recovered, and the death of
Captain Peasants, who had been assoc
ciated with him for 50 many years. also
greatly depressed him. Some persons who
saw the Major yesterday morning thought
there was a stiffness about his left arm,
and that his eyes were not entirely natu-
raj. He had seemed better and stronger
for several days though, than for some
weeks before. and remarked yesterday
that he felt quite well.
There was a constant stream OF callers
at the Valentine House last night 10
inquire after the Chief. and the universal
hope is that he may soon be up and we'll
again.
