turn out volume after volume with a
rapidity. two year, that made his
readers doubt their very senses. His in

There was no love lost between the
Emperor Louis Napoleon and his cousin,

With every match the colonel leaves the tea,
But all alone he finishes TIE game

The colonel is inclement, void of ruth,
Spares not the slashing driver in his pride;
No deft approach, no pawky putt can stave
Him off-many, not overbrave,
Tear up their cards in futile suicide
Sooner or later. oftener soon than late,
We pass, and the next victim forth is led
Vaunting himself superior over fate,
But ere the home green is in sight he yields;
With one grim stroke the colonel lays him
dead.
Yet is the long match ours: 'tis soothly said

IMPORTANT TRUCKERS.
MOVEMENT TO RESTRICT CUBAN
AND PORTO RICAN TRADE.

MOVEMENT TO RESTRICT CUBAN
AND PORTO RICAN TRADE.
Secretary Il. L. Dawes, of the Board
of Trade and Business Mems Associa-
tion has received a circular letter on Il
very important subject from Mr.. Her
bert Myrick. editor of the Orange Judd
Publication Company's agricultural and
genealogical publications, of which
'"rhe New England Homes tend, Farm
and Home" and american Agricultu-
raliSt" are perhaps most Important.
This letter recommends the I'm
mediate and united action of all farm
crs and truckers in the Southern States.
notably those on the Atlantic coast,
from Maryland to Florida, to protest
against the free admission Of produce
from Porto Rico, Cuba and the British
West Indies on the ground that the
natural conditions of those semi-tropi-
cal islands will enable them 10 unfairly
and unjustly compete with Southern
trucking and fruit interests in the sec
ton named. He also asks the formn-
ton of organizations of truckers of this
section to urge proper protest by the
Senator'S and Representatives of Vr-
ginia against such free entry of truck
and fruits.
American AgriculturalSt that unless
such restrictions are put on these ISL
ands' truck shipments, etc., as are put
about bermuda trade with the
United States, the results will
be damaging to this whole coast,
as the semi-tronica ! nature of
the islands and their various tenn
pcra lures, given by as varying attitudes
of arabic land would enable them to
be several weeks in advance of the
most advanced sections of this country,
and the chca pneSS of labor there nut
this coast at n ruinous disadvantage as
to prices. Secretary Dawes will put
the letter before the board officials at
their next meeting, and proper action
will be taken. The subject is one that
will he especially interesting to this
section owing to the immense trucking
interests centred here.
