voted TO put the force bill upon us. and
who Is still our enemy. however honeyed
may be his phrases when he Is trying to
secure the assistance OF disaffeeted
southern Democrats.
When the dlsaffected Democrats come
TO have a meeting in Richmond to elect
delegates TO the Richmond convention,
they may make fairly good showing
of numbers. because they have very
effective. organization. but what sort OF

deed, in any other county I'm the slater
And yet the delegates thus elected VIII
come here on August 9th and claim that
they represent the Democratic party OF
Virginia. Next we shall hear OF them
demanding TO be so recognized on the
official ballot, which will be printed by
the State authorities for use In the cleo
ton Of November Sd.
And now. as timely and appropriate
we quote the words of Mr.. y. j. carr,

sound-money movement here, and who'

BY the way, we think 1t would have
been more ingenious In the Times had II
published the county or city Of each of

seen what counties and what cities are
asking for a new State Convention. and
how many men are undertaking to speak
for each city and county. AS II Is. the
Times only gives us the list in lump,
and we have to find out as best we may

A recent letter in the New York Herald
from Narragansett Pier stated that Mrs.
jefferson Davis was to be seen at the
Pier on a bicycle, followed by her daugh-
ter, also on a wheel. We learn from
those who have been visiting Nara
gansett Pier that there is not word OF
truth in this statement. Mrs. Davis
detests bicycle, and has never attempt
ed 10 mount one. Miss Winnie, though
fond Of riding, has not been on n wheel
for a year, and is not able to ride now
because she is still suffering from her
wounded ankle. The Herald correspond
ent must have been either the unsuspect-
ing victim of a joker or the originator
of a false story, designed TO annoy Mrs.
Davis.

A Sea symphony.

dedicated To Dennis Leavy, Bandmaster
Soldiers Home. Hampton, Na)
OH the tapping. laughing waters.
OF the restless, signing sea,
Sings for all earth's Sons and daughters
A song that's grand and free;
And the winds that rule the pillows,
Rolling upward mountain high,
Rest upon their liquid pillows.
kissing sea, and sun, and sky.
A thousand ships are sailing
Coming. going-all the time;
Some are blessed and some bewailing
In a cold or sunny cline;
And they seem to sail forever
From the East and from the West,
To a land where all shall ever
Find eternal, peaceful rest.
Yet, where storm kings are reigning,
There a subject / would be,
Where the thunder and the lightning
Crash and lash the surging sea;
And the albatross seems resting
Without any fear or care.
With his pnions bravely breasting
The sea, the sun, and air.

Though $4,000 has been spent upon
the typographical survey Of Baltimore,
a special committee of the City Council
reports that the work has been badly
done. and is in many respects unreliable.
The committee employed experts, who
report that grave errcrs exist in all
the streets tested by them, varying In
amount from one to fourteen feet; also
that there are many omissions OF import

Colonel II. T. Douglas, chief engineer of
the survey. owing to indisposition, was
