A TRUE METROPOLIS

The growth Of the population of New-York
ana the immense Increase IN the number of
visitors are shown impressively by the appear-
ance OF the crowds in our streets. by the multi
tudes in our places of entertainment and nv
the hustle and animation which are evident on
every hand. In the business quarters between
8 and o'clock, and even in later hours the
number OF people who are moving about Is
amazingly large, and the variety of new build
ings, some of them just completed. others upon
which work is in progress, indicate the rapid
advance in the affairs of the metropolis The
interest in the development OF New-York is so
strong and earnest now and will increase so
quickly that the concern IN the wonderfu,
growth Of this capital and In the projects
which will provide employment for many thou
sands will continue to draw multitudes OF
willing workers to this side of the Atlantic
The steamship companies have decided that
the rush Of foreigners to this quarter of the
globe will increase as soon as many parts OF
Europe become familiar with what has been
accomplished already between the Mexican and
Canadian borders and between the two oceans
AS speedily as the people who are still suffer
ing from the hard conditions of life In many
foreign divisions OF activity, and who are fit
to a living under the Stars and Stripes
can, by abstinence and thrift, lay aside enough
money to make the Journey over the sea and
get fair start in the land of prosperity and
freedom. where the burden Of taxation is not
severe, striking will 1t be to their advantage.
This Republic will soon be employing host
of people at the Isthmus OF Panama upon the
new canal, while the State Of New-York VIII
be giving well paid for employment to many
men upon its canal improvements. The Penn
sylvania Railroad, the New-York Central and
other lines must be paying out huge sums for
the enormous tasks which they have already
undertaken. and SO striking is the promise of
the enterprises already decided upon that ex-
tepsive lsbors will soon be taken up By other
companies. There is every reason to look for
q busy winter among employers and EMPLOYED
In every line of effort which can be pushed In
the cold months. Under the surface there is
plenty of activity. and when the storms of the
season set in they will not put stop to opera
tions under water or under ground. The OPP
erative success Of the rapid transit subway has
more than equalled anticipation, and when the
extensions which have been already decided
upon have been completed, and the facilities for
moving from one part OF this big town to an
other and for tourneying swiftly and comforta-
bly, from distant points in Long Island to cities
in New-Jersey are in satisfactory shape, there
will be little reason for this city to regard any
other capital with envy.

Spring In The South.
(By Henry van Dyke. }

Now in the oak the sap of life is we'll
ing.
Though to the bough the rusty foil
age clings;
Now on the elm the misty buds are
swelling;
See how the pine-wood grows alive
with wings
Blueiays fluttering, yodeling, and cry
ing;
Meadow-larlls sailing low above the
withered grass;
Red-bird whistling clear, silent robins
flying
Who has walked the birds up? What
has come to pass?
Last years cotton plants, desolately
bowling.
Stand in the fallows, rugged and for
lorn, -
Red are the hill-sdes Of the early
blowing,
Gray are the lowlands, waiting for
the corn.
Earth seems asleep still; but it's only
feigning;
Deep in her bosom thrills a sweet
unrest.
Look where the jasmine lavishly is
raining
Jove's golden shower into Dances
breast.
Now on the plum the snowy bloom is
drifted;
Now on the peach, the glory of the
rose;
over the hills Il tender haze is sifted !;
Full to the brim the yellow river
Dark cypress boughs with vivid jewels
pliSten
Greener than emeralds shining in
the sun.
Who has wrought the magic? Listen,
sweetheart. listen
The mocking-bird is singing: Spring
has begun.
Hark, in his song no tremor of mis-
givinS! r.
All of his heart he pours into his
lay,
Love, love, love, and pure delight of
living;
winter is forgotten; live for love
today!'
Fair in your face, read the flowery
presage,
Snowy on your brow, and rosy Oh
your mouth,
Sweet in your voice, l hear the sea-

Love, love, love, and Spring in the

The Unknown. Unseen Grave.

There's a soldier who sleeps from afai
In an unknown grave meath the cold
North Star,
In an unseen grave for it is o'ergroWn
With flowers which serve in the place
of a stone.
'Tis grave neglected by human kind.
For it's making and place have passed

But the river knows it's place on its

Sings as he sleeps such a sweet lalla-
bye.
That the soldier dreams that he hears
once more
The ripping swirl of the Salamanca.
The robin who pauses, weary Of wing,
Knows not why he chooses that spot
to sing,
His first song since leaving his winter
home;
(Twas the soldiers, too, ere he chose
to roam).
Neither does the mockingbird know
what made
Him a wanderer to that Northern
glade.
To sing by himself his sweet Southern
song
over the hidden grave all the day
long.
Sweet is the sleep of the soldier in
gray,
AS he lies in his grave from his home
far away,
For we'll he knows his cause like his
spirit,
Is safe with God just and infinite.

Herbert Spencer's opinion of Carlyle

Error.
When the facts are known and only
one inference can be drawn there
from, negligence is a question of law
for the court.
Where, in an action against a city
to recover damages for personal in
juries sustained, it appeared that the
plaintiff was a blind maT and, while
unattended, was injured by walking
against a strip nailed Eve feet above
the ground between two telegraph
poles on the edge of the sidewalk
the strip not forming an obstruction
to one possessed of his ordinary senses
it was error to submit to the jury the
question of the defendants negligence.

From Guilford. Affirmed.
Mental anguish by reason of failure
to deliver a telegram announcing
death. is not presumed when the de-
ceased is not a near relative of the
sendee or a husband or wife; but when
~mental anguish is actually caused by
failure to receive the telegram an
nouncinp the death of distant rcla-
tive or one connected only by afhnlty,
such fact may be proved and damages
recovered.
In an action for damages for mental
anguish caused by failure to deliver
telegram, the nearness of relationship
is material only where the presump-
ton is relied on, but mental anguish
may actually exist when there is no
presumption.
A telegraph company cannot avoid
damages for mental anguish by rea-
son of its failure to promptly deliver
a telegram relating to sickness or
death because the sender did not dis
close his relationship to the sendee.
Mere disappointment upon being UNI
able to attend the funeral of near
relative does not amount to, mental
anguish or entitle the plaintiff to more
than nominal damages.
Damages for mental anguish are
purely compensatory and should never
exceed just compensation for the IN
jury suffered.
