Last evening l was talking
With an editor. aged and gray.
Who told me of a dream he had T.
think twas New Years Day. 4
While snoozing in his office
The vision came to view,
For lie saw an angel enter.
Dressed in garments white and nrs.
Said the angel. 81 M from Heaven.
Tie Lord just sent me down
70 bring you up to glory,
And put on your golden.
You've been friend to everyone,
And worked hard day and night.
You lave enlightened thousands,
And from few received your pay.
SO we want you up in glory.
For you have labored hard.
And the good Lord is preparing
Your eternal just reward
Then the angel and the editor
Started up toward glory's gate.
But when passing close to lIades
The angel murmured, wait
have got 4 place to show you:
It's the hottest place in hell.
Where the ones who never paid you
In torment always dwell.'
And behold the editor saw there
His old subscribers 10y the score:
And grabbing up a chair and fam.
lie wished for nothing more.
lie was bound to sit and watch them
AS they'd sizzle, SINCE and burn.
Said the angel, "Come on editor,
There's the pearly gates, ! see"
But the editor only muttered,
'"rhis is heaven enough for me-

DIsPENsARY GRAFT GASES.

Judge Js'er o. Pritchaid, Of The
United States Circuit Court, In a private
hearing yesterday In Richmond, listened
to arguments of attorneys In the South
Carolina dispensary graft cases with the
result that an order was issued modify
ing his order OF April 8 requiring q
bond OF the State Dispenssry Commits
sioners in the sam of $3.50, 900.
The cases in que .tlon involve the
question OF State sovereignty, in that the
commission is being sued for claims by
whisky men, which claims grow out Of
the settlement OF the South Carolina dis
penssry business. Attorneys hsve agreed
70 request the Uoiisd States Circuit
Court Of Appeals to hesr argument on
June 2. Chief Justice Melville Fuller
will ait in the place of Judge Phtchsrd
at this time, the latter being disqualified
from the fact that he rendered his de-
cision in the lower court from which
decision the present appeal Is taken.
The commission OF South Carolina had
refused to pay certain claims of the
whisky men, alleging that graft had
been going on between the whisky men
and the old dispensary commission. The
question paramount In the proceedings
is whether or not the commission sp-
pointed by the State Legislature repre-.
sents the sovereign State, which cannot
be sued under the United States statutes
without its consent.

The love OF home and the desire 10
return thereto after a long absence Ia
deep seated in the heart Of every man
and so Bishop Augustine Van de Vyver,
for Is years bishop of the Catholic Do
cese of Richmond, has resigned his post
and will return to his native land, Bel
GUM. Bishop Van de Vyver stated
last night that his only object in retiring
Is that he may spend his declining years
among his own people and 10 his native
couutry. Permission to retire was
granted him by the pope during his visit
to Europe last summer. The bishop is
a strong-willed man, but human nature
ia stronger, so with his declining years
his yearning for home and desire
of relief from too busy and active life
have naturally overcome him and he now
seeks a well-earned rest among the scenes
and friends of his boyhood.
