AN INTER FSTTNG PLAN.

| One of the most interesting things in the new constitution that has been pre- pared for Virginia is the provision for a State corporation commission. This commission will consist of three mem
 bers. It is to have all the powers now vested in the board of public works and the railroad commissioner. It is to have. other powers. It is to grant Cor refuse) charters to corporations, under general laws to be enacted by the Gen eral Assembly. All corporations doing
 business in Virginia are required to
 make yearly reports to this commission,
 and to make them in just the form and
 covering just the matters it shall pre-
 scribe. Failure to report for two years
 running is, in certain circumstances, to
 poration it's charter. The commission
 is empowered to inspect the books and
 papers of all transportation and trans
 mission" companies doing business in
 Virginia, whenever it wants to; to pre- scribe and enforce such rules as may be necessary to restrain them from indulg- ing in unjust discrimination; to classi- fly their traffic and prescribe reasonable rates; to supervise regulate and con- trol them in all matters relating to the performance of their public duties and their charges therefor, If these rail road, express telegraph and telephone or any other corporations feel aggrieved and oppressed by the doings, they have an ap- peal to the Supreme court of the State. l The proposed constitution gives them that remedy.
 This plan has it's merits, but it seems l to IS to have more dangers than mer- it's. A State corporation commission would have to be composed of just | about the right kind of men in order to ! do good work, and such men are unfor not common.

The Old Bemu.

Gay old beau of lng ago.
 Still you smirk nd still you smile; SttiI you proudly strut along
 Decked out in the latest style; There's little dash of red
 In the jaunty tie you wear, And you comb across your head
 Little wisps of poor, gray hair Proud old beau ( { long ago, Thinking people do not know
 Of the badness that is there. Gay old beau of long ago,
 Through your poor dimmed eyes you gaze Out at tair ones who are like
 Gentle maids of other days: An. permaps they've heard of you,
 They that pass you merrily; They have gray grandmothers who
 May have once been far to see- Gay old beau of long ago, Grandmas like to boast, you know
 Tell us what their boasts may be. Gay old beau of long ago,
 Gallantly you swing your cane; Ah, the finger marks of Time
 On your race are very plain, But you think that you alone
 Know how Age has come to hew Down the rounded cheeks where shone
 Youth that Jeff you ere you knew Poor old beau of long ago, There are pouches just below
 The dim eyes you're looking through. Gay old beau of long ago.
 Many voice you loved to hear Many sweet and fatterng voice. Has been silent many q year; And alone you go your way
 Down the old, broad, beaten track, Still pretending to be gay,
 Wondering what it is you lack Poor old beau Of long ago Totterng to the grave with no Strong, young arms to hold you back

enough to peep again, and others will soon Join in, until the sound Is deafen-
 ing a such close range. Then, II he will watch the grass blades and the reeds, he will notice some of them nodding occasionally as the peppers 1 leap from one to another, and soon he will discover a wee frog about an l inch long, clinging to reed perhaps' 1 by the tips of it's toes, each one or which Is provided with little suck ing disk for that purpose. And if the frog be a male and in the humor for ; singing, the observer will see the lit tie white throat swell out until it seems as though there were a warble
 lodged in it. This swelling is the frogs vocal sac, which he distends
 with air and uses as a bagpipe while
 in the act of peeping. The peppers are tree frogs, They spend the winter
 in the mud at the bottoms of the
 ponds, and after depositing their eggs in the water where we hear them
 peeping, they go off into the woods and spend the summer amongst the trees, where they live on small insects,
 Whilst hunting for peppers we are almost sure to come across spotted and painted turtles, either swimming under water in the brook, floating on the surface of a pond, or basking in the sunshine on some half-sunken log. Quaint, ungainly little creatures these, but always full of interest when view ed in the proper spirit. Beautiful and decorative too, they are, when seen with their bright marking against the dark bottom of a brook. They are wonderfully strong of limb, as every one knows who has tried to hold one when he was really bent on getting away. The neck Is very strong and and one of the chief uses to which it is put is the fighting of the animal when by accident he hap pens to get turned upon his back. A young turtle taken from the egg two weeks before the date of hatching can swim a little if put into water; and if turned upon it's back it will at- tempt to right itself
 The wild flowers of April have a charm of their own quite apart from their beauty or fragrance. They are the first to gree; us after long and fowerless winter. The trailing arhu- tus, the hepatica the anemone and the spring beauty, yes, and the little skunk cabbage with his spotted cowl about his ears will ever hold In our hearts place which cannot be filled | either by stihing banks of hot-house roses. or by star-shaped beds of can mas and geraniums. though they be so | gorgeous as to scorch the grass about 1 them.

1 the motive power The high expenses
 in a freight and passenger business are due to the necessity of having very solid roadbed and strong bridges, heavy cars and expensive terminals. In pro- portion as the electric roads extend their business-takng in freight traffic and undertaking to handle a large pas senger traffic-to that extent their eX- penses increase and approximate those of the steam railroads, if they do not exceed them. The expense is incident
 to the transaction of business and can
 not be avoided by mere change ot motive power So of one hundred miles
 an-hour speeds, such as have been at
 tained on the experimental electric road
 between Berlin and Zossen. The tre-
 mendous speed necessitates according
 to Herr von Thielen, a strengthening of roadbed and bridges to such an extent
 that it ceases to be profitable. The eX- periments seem to prove that the hlsn speed, if practicable at all, must be con fined to passenger traffic. The outlay upon track and equipment is excessive, by reason of the elaborate safeguards necessitated by the high speed. Much more would expensive precautions have to be taken if ponderous freight cars were being hurled along with the veloc- ity of. an extra fast hurricane. Under existing conditions high speed traction will evidently have to be restricted to passenger traffic, if found to be prac ticable in any case
 It has sometimes seemed that there wasn't much limit to the profitable use of electricity on railroads, but facts are more solid than airy theories.

SHOT A SEA SERPENT.
After Quiet Half-Hour's Study of
 Him at Short Range.

After Quiet Half Hours Study of Him at Short Range.
 A monstrous sea serpent, vicious and
 awful looking was the sight that
 brought fright to the crew of the
 schooner Samuel B. Hubbard only a
 few days ago. This vessel, of which
 Captain Mehaffey is master has just
 arrived in port from New York. Her
 commander, who Is well known to all
 the north Atlantic ports, vouches for
 the authenticity of the story, and the
 facts are corroborated by his first mate, MT Coverdale. Captain Mehaffey says:
 Tt was on the 23d instant, in north
 latitude thirty-four degrees forty-one minutes, and west longitude seventy six degrees ten minutes. The ship was lying becalmed about twelve noon
 when the chief mate called my atten- tion to something in the water just abeam, quarter of mile off, A long, slim object, moving from side to side, and coming toward us with such great rapidity that it looked like an old thresher at work It very quickly worked under our quarter, and in the clear water we saw the queerest fish out As it lay quiet within fifteen feet of the vessel it appeared to be about thirty feet long by three in circumfer ence A smooth body, showing no fins but the dorsals, three of them, one short, one say, about foot long, near the head. Then half way down the body a long, tail like fin about seven feet long and about five inches wide, and near the tail a small hind fin. The tail was unlike fish, ending at a point, without a fin. The body was q deep pink color to the middle, and darkening to light brown at the tail.
 The head was fully three feet long, the mouth close to the top. The eyes were large and close to the top of the head We had a good look at the fel- low as he stayed by fully half an hour. Then the mate got a shotgun and as the lish lay with half of his upper body exposed, sent a charge of small shot In. It evidently hurt him, for he leaped out of the water half his length and sound ed like whale. It came to the surface II few seconds and if it kept up the 1 gait it started with the serpent is near he western coast of Africa by this | lme. Atlanta Journal

THE PAssiAG FASHION OF yRusrs.

People aren't as afraid of the trusts as they were, though they are just now wondering whether they are in the grip of the meat trust, or of natural con- ditions, But they have seen several trusts collapse and they have discov- cred that trusts can't successfully defy economic laws They will be encour- aged in their belief by some remarks made by Andrew Carnegie in his new book. There can be no doubt that MT. Carnegie knows something about busi- ness, and is qualified to talk about trusts. He says: "The people of America can smile at the efforts of all her railroad magnates and of all her manufacturers to defeat the eco homie laws by trusts or combinations, or pools, or differentias, or anything firmly to the doctrine of free competi- tion. Keep the field open. Freedom for
 
 and where capital desires, subject to conditions open to all. Freedom for all to engage in any branch of manufactur- ing under like conditions" Hold firm ly to the principle of free competition" is MT. Carneges advice to the busi- ness world, and he declares that there can be no eXtortion of profit beyond the average return from capital" and that the fashion of trusts has but a short season longer to run"
 Great will be the fall thereof, when it comes. And after a while, when the ruins have been cleared away, some new device for getting all the money in the world will appear. {
