Oh wife dear can it be-
No more thy look of love I'll see
Those eyes that now are closed in DEATH
I'll think of thee till my latest breath
Rest, wife, thy work is done,
The cross is passed the crown is won;
Rest from sorrow free on Canaans shore,
Thy pain is passed and feared no more.
Weep not for me my husband dear,
am gone to rest you need not fear;
My stay short as now you see,
Therefore prepare to follow me.
BY HER HUSBAND.
Oh mother, thy gentle voice is hushed,
Thy warm, true heart is still;
And on thy pale and peaceful face,
Is resting deaths cold chill.
Thy hands are clasped upon thy breast,
We've kissed thy marble brow;
And in our aching hearts we know,
BY HER CHILDREN
Our daughter now has gone to rest,
Beneath the tree of life;
She leans upon the Saviour's breast
So free from pain and strife.
Our daughters troubles now are past
Her pain disturbs no more;
But Jesus in His arms at last
Bore her to the Heavenly shore.
Daughter how can we give thee up,
1t seems to us unjust
To lay thee in the cold, damp ground,
To moulder into dust.

Gone but not forgotten.
We miss thee, loving father,
From thy familiar place;

We miss thee at the table,
Nor hear thy voice in prayer;
And, oh what sorrows pierce our hearts,
To see thy vacant chair.

Money in Potatoes.

CAPE CHARLES CRY. Va, July 1.-THE
largest and most profitable crop of Irish pota-
toes in the history of the Eastern Shore OF
Virginia has about been marketed. The ship
ments for the month of June alone exceeded
all past records by nearly 100000 barrels,
and satisfactory prices have been received for
every barrel, ranging from S1.75 to $3.50 per
barrel. A large portion of the potatoes have
been sold at the railroad stations and or the
wharves this year for cash.
1t is estimated on good authority that not
less than $l,000,000 has come into the
counties of Northampton and Accomac since
June ! for Irish potatoes.

AT CAMP ALGER.

The principal work in progress at
Camp Alger yesterday was the running
of telephone and telegraph wires from
headquarters to the various regiments.
Interest in the subject of hospitals is
increasing, as Colonel Girard has an
nounced his intention to abolish regi
mental hospitals. 1t is said that Col.
KsvaDgh, of the Seventh Illinois Regi.
ment, refused to deliver an ambulance
to the division hospital, and may be
called to account for this action.
1t is expected that canvas suits will
br distributed to the troops within a

with delight by the perspiring soldiers.
The entire corps has not yet been pro.
vided with rifles and other supplies.

A large number of men were ex-
hausted by the intense heat yesterday.

but in few instances will the Judge AC-
vocate allow the proceedings to be
made public. The three men from AL

GINA R g.m-ni, David Downey. Pat
rick Hayes and William Hayes, who, it

WAR NOTES.

Late details OF the fight Saturday
night and Sunday morning between
United States marines and Spanish
troops at Guantanamo, Cuba, show that
there was desperate hand-to-hand fight
for hours. Swords and pistols were
freely used. Lieuteants Neyelle and
Shaw, who were reported missing, are
safe.
The insurgents in the vicinity OF
Santiago say that city will soon be
starved into surrender, as they are
blockading it effectively on the land
side. About 5000, 900 worth of ammu-
milton was expended by the American
feet in the recent bombardment of Santi-
ago.
Preparations for the invasion of Porto
Rico are well under way. Geners
Coppinger will command this expedi-
ton and General Lee, it is stated, will
wait in Florida until the time comes to
strike Havana, when he will be sent
there.
A full report by Admiral Dewey,
mailed at Manila few days after the
great battle on May 1, has been receiv.
ed by the Navy Department. He
praises highly the conduct of officers
and men who served under him and
gives in detail the official story of the
battle. No commander, he said, prob
ably ever had more gallant captains.
A Washington dispatch to the New
York Herald says: Authoritative infor.
nation WAS received at the Navy De-
partment yesterday announcing that
several thousand men will be sent to the
Canary Islands on the auxiliary cruisers
of Admiral Camars's squadron. This
information is said to show that the
destination of the Spanish reserve feet is
not the Philippines, but really the West
Indies. with the Canary Islands as the
first stopping point.

point TO it as moral.

Letter and deposited in banks and other
financial concerns in this city. The
plaintiffs allege that he has refused to
pay the amounts advanced to him.
The attachment was issued on the
ground that Letter is q non. resident.
CHICAGO, Jtne At was stated by
friends of Mr.. Joseph Letter that the
attachment issued against him in New
York will not effect the situation-that
it will not forca an assignment.

Few REASONABLE people imagine
that Mr.. c. V. Meredith, city attorney
for Richmond, is disappointed at not
being reelected, but many were sur
prised at his attempt to be. Richmond
is democratic city, and Mr.. Meredith
was elected as a democrat; but as he
refused to support his party's ticket and
platform two years ago, and thereby
assisted its enemies, the republicans,
the only wonder about his defeat is
that he ahould have subjected himself
TO it voluntarily.
