accomplished by that body. The
resolutions adopted will have the
hearty endorsement not only of the
most of our readers but Of the people

the approval of the most of those
who believe that the people and not

FAMILY FINANCIERING.

They tell me you work for dollar day.
How is it you clothe your boys such pay:
/ know you will think it conceted and queer,
But do it because am good financler
There's Pete John & jim, Joe William & Ned
A half dozen boys to be clothed and fed;
l buy for them all plain victuals to eat,
But clothing buy only for our son Pete.
When Petes clothes are too small for him to go on
My wife makes them and gives them to John,
When for John who is ten they have grown out on ate
She just makes them over for } i'm who is eight
When for Jim they have become 100 ragged to fix,
She just makes them over for Bill who IS SIX
And wnen for young Bill they will no longer 49,
She lust makes them over for Ned who is two.
Sc you see if get the good clothing for Pete
The family is furnished with c t complete n9 whom
He has thrown them aside what do you with then?
Why once more go round the circle complete
And begin to use them for patches for Pete,
But where dear friend you buy clothes that wear
From Pete down to Ned without a rip or tear:
1 go down TO CLICKS his stock is the BEST
He can suit the whole family, my wife and the rest

a mistaken notion of the comfy
between the States has resulted in
the release of the prisoners, captured
by Captain Parks, of the oyster police
force, for feloniouslY dredging in Vir>
GINA waters in February and in the
surrender of the boats in which they
were caught violating our laws. They
have been returned to Maryland by
virtue of an understanding between
the Acknowledgements of the two
States, that requisition papers for
offenders of our oyster laws would in
the future be honored by the Cover
nor of Maryland. The Attorney for
the Commonwealth for the county OF
Accomac, in accordance with that
agreement, has lost no time in for
warding the necessary papers for
some of the old offenders aud the sim
cerity of the officials of Maryland will
soon be put to the test, as to their
Willingness to preserve the pleas
ant relations between the States by
not only asking but giving justice to
us. The requisition made for the
offenders, if we are to judge the
Maryland officials in the future by
their past acts, of course. will not be
honored, and if honored, will amount
to nothing as we cannot send our
officers into Maryland to catch the
offenders and Maryland will not catch
them for us. The outcome of the
whole matter will prove, we predict,
that the comfy" has all been on
one side and our Governor and Attor
ney-General will wake to the realiza'
ton of the fact later, that they have
been duped. The lesson which will
have been taught them, though, may
be of some use to them and make
them willing to look after the in
terests of Virginia better in the
future.

Christian Unity.

Richmond, Va, May There as
sembled this afternoon in the Acade
my of Music here probably the largest
religious gathering ever known in
this community. This was the union
meeting of all evangelical Christians
of Richmond and Manchester. The
object of this meeting was to express
our vital oneness in Christ" The
meeting was participated in by min
isters of ali the Protestant denomlna-
tions. The building, which seats
probably 1.400 persons, was crowded
to the doors. Many found it impos-
sible to find seats.
Rev. DR. R. P. Kerr, pastor of the
First Presbyterian Church, who Of
fered the motion at the ministers
meeting at which arrangements were
perfected for this union, made the
opening address. His subject was
1.-The Basis of Christian Unity DR..
Kerr was followed by Rev. DR.. W. e.
Starr, of Broad Street Methodist;
Revs. DR.. n. G. Garrison, C. A. Marks.
William A. Barr, of the Monumental
Episcopal, and DR.. W. r. L. Smith.
All of the ministers made strong
appeal for unity OF all Christian de-
nominations. MIR. Barr, of the Monu-
mental Church, made an eloquent
address on this subject. This speaker
took broad ground for unity. He
maintained that this was the only
way in which Christians could pre-
sent solid front to the now growing
disposition to attack the Bible. His
appeal, AS were all of those who spoke,
was listened to with the deepest at
tention.
This meeting was the outcome OF
efforts that have been made here for
years past. The late DIR. Moses ID.
Aoge, the distinguished Presbyter an
divine, many years ago sowed the
seed which probably had much to do
with bringing about the spirit OF
union.
