The noom OF the GoId-Bug.

BY signs Of entomology, that rule the
present minute.
There isn't any doubt at all what sort
Of bug is in it.
The June-bug, the doodle-bug, potato
bug, and all,
Have got to skip the trolley, for the gold
bug has the call.
From where the Yukon rips along 10
swell the Bering deeps,
A wild auriferous rallying cry to echoing
welkin leaps,
And from the heart OF everywhere be-
meath the spreading sky,
The gold-bug and his larva rise unto the
rallying cry.
A glow of hope is on his eighteen-carat
appetite.
lie multipies each minute OF each feet
ing day and night,
And like a swelling avalanche that never
sways or swerves,
He launches out to burrow In Alaskas
rich preserves.
So let the coleoptera stand back and give
him room,
There is no bug of all the bugs can
match the goid-bugs boom,
For like a certain other bug, conspicuous
in fame,
Although he has no wings at all. he'll
"get there just the same"

the legislative session Of lSs4-So'
the Virginia law made the pen

in tho penitentiary; but it was found
that that punishment was not suihcieht

finn should she make outcries that ne
cannot suppress. lie is a murderer AT
heart. and no punishment that can be
given him is too severe.
We are glad to observe that, as rule
tho northern papers make fair comments
,inon the attitude Of tho southern people
towards these criminals. Most OF the
PAPERS recognize that there Is a great
problem before us, which they think can
be treated better by the severe and expe-
ditious Virginia law than by lynching.
Tho Nervousness Of tho crime and the
necessity for Furnishing the criminals
promptly are fully recognized. We fear
our northern contemporaries do not fully
understand what a great hardship it IS
for our women to 90 into courts as wit
nesses. but in time we hope they VIII
coma TO understand this phase Of the
question also.
Tho woman who sacrifices her feelings
10 become a witness is a martyr in the
cause OF her sisters, and public opinion
should recognize the extent of her self
sacrifice. No case Of assault ought ever
TO be hushed up. Whoever contemplates
committing the usual crime ought to
know that the chances are hundred to
one that he will be found out and pun
ished with speedy death. The certainty
OF detection and the severity OF the pun
ishment will put stop TO the crime, II
ANYTHING can. When. after fair expert
ment. it has been ascertained that these
things will not put a stop to assaults
upon our wives and daughters-then the
negroes and the whites can no longer
have their homes in tho same land.
