quite innoceutly from taking coce

HOW PUBLIC MEN WRITE.

Secretary Sherman writes a plain
hand.
The handwriting of former Ambassa-
dor Bayard is very legible.
W. c. p Breckenridge, Of Kentucky,
writes hand that does the soul of the
printer good.
Speaker Reed writes fairly clear
hand, but he sometimes fails in SPELL
ing, fault of which he is almost NOR
bidly conscious.
The late S. s. Cox used to write in
wretched running hand, with many
half formed letters, and his interim
eations were frequent and puzzling.

A Mystery.

A carriage passed this way to-day 7
A stately carriage, fair to see
With polished glass and holding plurnes,
And in It lay mystery.
A cofaned form. with pallid face,
And hands crossed meekly on its breast;
With pale lips wearing still q smile
That tells tale Of peaceful rest
Slow is the pace, but all too soon
The end is reached-the quiet grave
Where we must leave our loved and lost;
Our God has taken what He gave.
o! mystery Of life how great!
How great the mystery Of death!
We live, we move, we see, we feel;
We're gone! It's like a passing breath!
o life, o death! Our faith how great!
That bids Us look beyond, TO see
When this short life shall all be DER,
There'll be for US no mystery.

Nv Love.

Ny love is true and tender.
Her eyes are rich with rest;
Her hair of dappled splendor,
The color love best;
So sweet, so gay, so odorous warm,
She nestles here, heart-high,
A bounteous aspect, beauteous form,
But-just a wee bit sly.
My love is not an angel
In one or two small things;
But Just a wifely woman
With other wants than wings.
You have some little leaven
OF earth. you darling deari
If you were fit for heaven,
You might not nestle here.

Sweet twilight trips with lightsome grace

And holds in leash the winds OF eve
To let them go at will
Arrayed in robes of beauty rare
OF ever changing light,

The coming Of the night.
On, on she glides and touches now
The stars, and one by one
They CLEAN and sparkle round her head
Like dew-drops in the sun.
And Luna, riding high above.
Cleans with luster rare;
The starry hosts pale low before
The queen Of heaven fair.

Mr.. Walter d. Moses has a tiny speci-
men OF the feline race upon which he
places the most extravaganza value. TIE
animal, like "Topsy," 'growed," appa-
rently for 1t came TO Mr.. Moses under
such circumstances as throw reason
able doubt over its ancestry. For some
days past the men in the workshops Of
Messrs. Moses &, Co. have been disturbed
by mysterious sounds issuing from the
inside Of the front wall of the building
on Main street. little below Tenth.
There were mewings, too, which left no
doubt as to the identity OF the visitor
Upon the third day the men determined
to investigate the matter, and they pro-
ceeded to knock a hole In the wall on
the third floor, where the noises had some
times been heard. They had worked but
little time, when they came upon a
cavity apparently reaching clear across
the front OF the house. Every means
were adopted 10 coax the animal to the
light, but without avail. MIX and food
were then left near the hole and Il watch
was set. The temptation proved too
strong. and in little while a dimlnu-
tive kitten. about three weeks old. sought
the saucer prepared for II. The animal
was coal black Its retreat was cut Off
and 1t was carried to a comfortable bas-
ket prepared for It's reception. Mr..
Moses regards II as mascot pure and
simple He says 1t Is not for sale. and
even hints that IL was born out of nature,
as no cat haunts the neighborhoof. and
there Is apparently no means OF access
to the Kittens strange hiding place.

CUTS OUT $4,000 OF bonds.
This the Result of Mr.. Mcredfths
Opinion.

The opinion OF City-Attorney Meredith
on the cancellation of unsold bonds, as
result of the cancelling of unexpended
debit balances TO the credit of any de-
partment at the end of the fiscal year.
was discussed with much interest at the
City Hall yesterday. The particular case
which the opinion had reference to was
the authorized bond issue OF S2o'Wo Tor
culverts. The bonds had never been Is
sued because, at the time they were au-
thorized. Richmond city bonds were SELL
ing at low figure. and 1t was deemed
advisable not 10 put them upon the mar
ket until better terms could be realized
The sum of slO.23 SO was paid out on ac-
count of culverts on the strength OF TINS
appropriation, and 1t will now be neces-
sary for the Council to make an appro-
priation to cover this overdraft.
Until this year 1t has been the custom
for the balances of bonded appropriations
to be carried forward, and the ordinance
providing that all such balances must re-
vert TO the treasury passed this year, is
the cause of the present complication.
