Affectionately dedicated to Mr.. snd y

The house is very lonely now,
About it hangs pail,
For memories OF our darling boy
Are lowering over all.
Where'er We go, each way we turn,
We see the heavy gloom;
It's hanging all anou1 the house
And shading every room.
We know from out the home is gono
The brightest, purest EN-;
But, oh, we know it spsrkles now
Within Gods diadem.
We know that Ger the precious fscc
Ie closed the casket lid,
And from our eight his loved form
For evermore is hid.
Had his pure face e'er shown to US
The heavy marks of sin
We cannot bear 10 think of this,
And yet it might have been.
But now We know within Gods home
Our Donald rests secure,
That to his heart will never come
The pangs we here endure.
And tho these earthly partiDgs cast
Dark shadows Ger the way,
They only throw brighter CLEAN
Upon the Maen day.
For there the broken links will bind
In stronger ties than here,
And in that brighter. holisr CLINE
We will no parting fear.
Then let our souls new courage take,
And never, never cease
Striving to reach our Donald's home
Where all is joy and peace.

face of the facts that the decision against
the income tax was secured BY the sud-

and that prosecuting attorneys have
great difficulty in finding judges before

To the Editor of the Alexandria Gazette:
1t was stated in the GAZETTE o!
Thursday that colored man named
Shepherd was detected trying to sell,
on Fairfax street, some carpets, etc.,
which had been giuen him at house
where scarlet fever had existed. The
articles came from my house, but were
not qiuen to the man. After thorough

them beyond the city limits and burn
them. After taking every precaution
which the medical authorities could
suggest to prevent the spread of the
disease, naturally do not wish the i'm

THAT CUBAN NAVAL FIGHT.-A dis
patch from Key West, Fla, says: 1.-THE
attempt made by the steamer Three
Friends to land flibustering expedi-
ton on the coast of Cuba has proved a
failure, and it is not likely she will
make another trip as the customs au-
thorities have taken possession of the
vessel for having violated the naviga-
ton laws of the United States, and the
health officers will hold her for having
landed passengers on the coast OF
Florida without having first submitted
all hands on board to quarantine ex-
animation. The report cabled from
New York that the Three Friends had
been fired on by Spanish cruiser, and
that the steamer had disabled Spanish
gunboat is positively denied in official
circles, who affirm that nothing of the
kind occurred, but that the story is
made out of whole cloth.
