A Night in JUNG.

Alfred Austin (England's New Poet Lau
eate)
Lady! In this night of June,
Fair like thee and holy;
Art thou gazing at the moon,
That Is rising slOwly2
am gazing on her now,
Something tells me, so art thou.
Night hath been when thou and 1.
Side by side were sitting;
Watching DER the moonlight sky,
Fleecy cloudlets fitting
Close our hands were linked then,
When will they be linked again?
What to me the starlight still,
Or the moonbeam's splendor;
If | do not feel the thrill,
OF thy fingers slender?
Summer nights in vain are clear
If thy footstep be not near.
Roses, slumbering in their sheaths,
Ger my threshold Chamber
And the honeysuckle wreaths
Its translucent amber
Round the gables of my home
How is it thou dost not come?
If thou earnest, rose~on rose,
From it's sleep would waken;
From each flower and leaf that blows
Spices would be shaken.
Floating down from star to tree,
Dreamy perfumes welcome thee.
l would lead thee where the leaves,
In the moon-rays glisten;
And where shadows fall in sheaves,
We would lean. and listen
For the song of that sweet bird
That in April nights is heard.
And when weary lids would close,
And thy head was dropping;
Then like the dew that sleeps the rose,
Ger thy languor STOPPING.
! would, till I woke a sigh,
Kiss they sweet lips silently.
l would give thee all ] own.
All thou hast would borrow;
l from thee would keep alone
Fear and doubt and sorrow.
All of tender that is mine,
Should most tenderly be thine
Moonlight! Into other skies,
I beseech thee wander;
Cruel thus to mock thine eyes,
Idle, thus to squander-
Loves own light on this dark spot,
For my lady cometh not.

Forsyth Park Fence.

It is probable that the iron fence around
Forsyth Park viii soon be removed af-
ter twenty-five years talk about the mat
ter. The question Of its removal will be
taken up by the newly created park com
mission as soon as it gets fairly in har-
ness.
The people living in the neighborhood
of the park. and very nearly every other
citizen outside Of those who for the time
being We're aldermen, have favored for
years the removal of the fence. but for
some reason or other their wishes in the
matter were not considered of much
consequence.
Against the earnest protests of the
newspapers several thousands of dollars
were spent some years ago in repairing the
fence. The money should have been spent
in removing it. When the fences around
the squares were removed, and it was
seen how much more attractive they were
without fences. the question was gener-
ally asked. why were the fences not re-
moved sooner? Practically the same ques-
ton will be asked when the fence around
Forsyth Park is removed.
1t would not be. a bad plan for the COM
mission to have the gates leading into
the park removed Immediately. cou-
pie of men with cart could 90 the work
in day.
The park fence might be used to enclose
the eastern side of Laurel Grove ceme-
terry. The placing OF the fence there
would be a great Improvement over the
wooden palings of which the present
fence is composed.

It is sincerely to be hoped that the pat
ronage received by the city of Charles
ton from Col. I. w. Avery's shipload Of
Venezuelans en- route for the Atlanta ex-
position was sufficiently large to repay
that city for the risks it ran in suspend
ing the operations of the quarantine laws
for the accommodation of the aforesaid
visiting Venezuelans. How many We're
there in that remarkable excursion party,
anyway?

1t looks as If the Presidents Venezuela
boundary commission would have a good
deal of decidedly interesting testimony
relative to Prof. Schomburgk and the
boundary line which bears his name sub
mitted to it, There is a widespread impress
sion that he was a surveyor by profess
sion, and that he was employed by Great
Britain to fix the boundary between Brit
ish Guiana and Venezuela. Prof. Theo-
dore Scharff of the Imperial NORMAL
School Of Metz. rather rudely dissipates
that impression. Prof. Scharff says his
father knew Prof. Schomburgk well, and
was in constant correspondence with him
when the latter was in Venezuela. Many
of the letters and maps of Prof. schom-
burgk are now in the possession of Prof.
Scharff.
In an interview Prof. Scharff says Prof.
Schomburgk was not a surveyor and was
not employed by the British government
to run a boundary line. He was botan-
list who wandered over good part of the
globe collecting specimens of plants.
His mission in Venezuela was to study the
fora of that region. In his wanderings
in Venezuela he came across many Brit
ish squatters, who We're engaged either
in prospecting for gold or cutting rare
and valuable woods for shipment to Eng
land He made maps of the region he
traversed and located the habitations of
the squatters.
On his return to civilization he showed
his maps to the governor general of Brit
ish Guiana and other British officials,
who gladly purchased the maps. These
officials noted the extreme points in the
interior reached by the British squatters,
and it was decided to hold that these
points marked the boundary line be-
tween British Guiana and Venezuela.
The line thus fixed came to be known as
the Schomburgk line.
If what Prof. Scharff says is correct
there is very little authority for the
Schomburgk line. That being the case it
is easy to understand why Lord Salisbury
so peremptorily refused to submit to ar
bltration the question of the ownership
of the territory within the Schomburgk
line.

Increase on 1000 Articles.
From the Hartford Times Oem).

Our republican friends in congress say
that they have not intended to make a
tariff act of 1894, the object of the bill
passed in the House on Saturday being
merely to provide for a temporary need.
They only desired to tax a few articles
just to increase the revenue the coming
year about SS0,00O.0OO. But in fact they
ticles of necessity in the free list; and
added Is per cent. to about four thousand
articles, without regard to the character
of anN of them.

A reverberation from the reunion of old
soldiers at Chiczamauga comes through

respondent of that paper writes that the
reunion was a revelation, and adds: Il

correspondent would indeed be peace
and would remove from the southern heart
every vestige of bitterness toward the re-

many grievances against the republican
party. 1t is responsible for most of the
ills that the south has suffered. Still.

Poor Cuba must pay heavily for the
war, whatever the outcome of it. Ac-
cording to the dispatches of yesterday
the smoke from burning sugar planta-
lions was to be seen for miles as the
steamer Ardanhu sailed away from the
island for Philadelphia. The insurgents
have carried on warfare against certain
kinds of property in their efforts to strike
the Spaniards, Notwithstanding the prop
erty belonged to Cubans and many native
families depended upon it for support. In
a recent insurgent raid in the province
of Matanzas not less than $1,000, 600 tons
of sugar cane, many valuable mills and
buildings were burned. If the insurgents
win, it viii be at the enormous cost of
the property destroyed by them. If the
Spaniards win, the cost will be incom-
parably greater, for besides the losses
caused by the insurgent raids, Cuba will
have to pay to the Madrid government
