Dead I no not dead but sleeping, taking a
long last rest ;
Gone from one midst but present in the
airole of the bled ;
Called by the darlc-winged angel from
this world 01 care and strife
To enter 9 new exieteen ; to enter on
life, real life.
Dev.th, 'big i name, not more, but the
gate to fields more fair,
Where all ie bright and pure ; no thorns
or briers grow there.
Through them as clear as crystal the
river of life flows by,
And the happy millions dwelling there,
sing, 'Tis not (teeth to die.
Yet, a write whose ameba 'Sheered no, a
face with sunshine filled ;
.A. step that ever was welcomed, those are
forever stilled ;
A hand that was always ready to help a
needy one ;
A. heart ao loving and generons—all these
forayer gone.
Yee, we have lost a sokool.mate, one
loved by each and all,
Near did we think such sorrow would,
so soon, our tand befall ;
But the One who called us together in
friendship's mired bond
Can keep that bond unbroken till we
meab in the school beyond.
Cod oomfort the brothers and sisters,
• send Rohm to their grief,
May they remember the parting is but
for a seaeon brief.
It is hard, but then up yonder away from
all sorrow and pain,
Where farewell hi a Word nspoken, loved
ones she/1 meet loved ones again.
A.nd when the sorrow is bitterest and the
trial seems hardest to bear,
May we think of her, so joyful, so per -
featly happy up there,
For the Son of God bath redeemed her
and bath ealled her home to rest,
Let us try to say with meekness, God
rules, He knoweth best.
Washington Letter.
(From our Regular Corrospoudont,)
WAstumezrox, August 29, TT,
Three decisions ol very general inter.
est are expected to be rendered at the
October term of the Supreme Oeurt. As
they will involve constitutional points in
connection with recenb Congressional
legislation, they will naturally commend
universal attention. These points will
be contended for 09 (1110 -part of the New
York importers who are aontesting the
validity of the McKinley law. The first
contention is that the bill is rendered in-
valid by its reoiprooity clause, which
delegates to the President a power and
authority to impose and to remit duties
at his discretion, a power which the Con-
stitution vests in Congress and not in
tbe EXecutive. The second contention
is that the vote by whioh several provi-
sions of the law were declared carried in
the House of Representatives does not
thew coustitutional quorum present
and voting. 12 this point should be sus -
Mined, what would become a consider-
able part of the legislation of the Fifty-
first Congress under the reign of Reed 7
The third contention is that the sugar
bounty clause is unconstitutional. Such
is the oonservative ohmmeter of the Su•
prom Comb that it oan hardly be ex -
prided to decide against the law, unless
111 15 clearly established that aonie of its
proviaions are in serious violation of the
Constitution.
The death of Oommissioper Bragg, of
Albania, leaves a ettettnoy in the Inter-
state Commerce Oornmission which the
President will probably fill at an early
day. The oommisaion now ecnieists of
Judge Oooley, of Michigan, chairman ;
Wm. R. Morrison, of Illinois ; Gen.
Veazey, of Vermont, and Judge Knapp,
of New York, three llepnblinans and
one Demootat. Consequently Mr.
Bragg's sueeessor will be a Democrat.
001, Henry R. Shorter, chairman of the
mimed oomtnission of Alabama, is al-
ready an epplieent for the place, strong-
ly recommended by Senator Pugh. The
members of the 000M3105i011 have an
annual compensation of 417,500, with
travelling expenses and a stenographer,

residents of forty.eIght towns of thia

them by eartiete. The average annual
rate of expenditure on aocount of this
service per town vats 5192.42. The in-
crease in the reeeipee of only seven of
the 1001y towus exceeded that of the
average coat of the new serviette. The re-
sults of the experimeet are not, there-
for% altogether eneormaging.
The latest advioes received at the

effect that affairs in the island aro quiet

The experiment of removing the sager
unties and paying 11110 (100308110 product's
a bounty seems to be very popular and as
long as the ammeter Mese not realize
that by memos of the bonnty bein paying
in the long run something like the old
pries for his "cheap" sugar, there will
be a happy etabe of affairs all around.
Should the Beene bounty suoaesefully page

bure. there is no good reason why, the
poliey amid not be extended to other
commodities. But by the time all the
inch:abides were given the benefit of
bounties there might be some difficulty
in providing means for paying the same.
Perhaps this was one of Mr, Blaine's
memos for objeoting to the sugar bounty.
Mr. Crisp says that the Speakerthip

VA.STEST MILE EVER MADE.
A mile in 39 4-5 seconds, or at the rate
of 110 miles per hour, is the fastest run
8009 0130.910 by a railroad thrill. This un-
paralleled feat was anoomplished on Fri•
day on the Bound Brook Railroad, be.
twee» Neshaminy Falls and Langhorne,
by engine No. 206, drawing two ordivary
(roaches and President McLeod's private
WU Beading, wbioh is equal to two
coaches in weight. °thee miles were
reeled off with 'mead as astonishing as
the creak mile, 1111C1 at the end of the
"fly" the world's record was broken.
From this out all records must date from
the memorable Bound Brook flight. The
fastest mile woks scored in 89 4.5 seconds.
The fastest five miles 3 minntes 254-5
seconds. The fastest ten miles in 7 min.
kites 12 seconds, averaging 43 emends per
mile.
At 1 p. ne a train consisting of an en.
gine and three Oars rolled out of the sta.
tiou at Ninth and Green streets, Phila-
delphia. The engine was No, 206 of the
Wootten pattern, burning anthracite
coal It belongs to olass D. 23. It has
5 feet 8 inches driving wbeels, and is one
of the ordinary patteens of fast engines
in use on the Philadelphia & Reading
Railroad aud the Bound Brook Railroad
to New York.
The train drawn by ,this engine com-
prised two ordinary day coaches'Nos.
608 and 850, and the handsome earRead-
ing, which is used by President McLeod
as hie privete oar, in which were the in.
sited gueets. Its weight is almost about
that of the two ordinary coaches, so thet
the train ie reality comprised four oars.
The most ininate details of preparation
bad been made. Ahead tan the quick.
gaited New York express, patrolling the
line of the road ; on each side were sec-
tion hands ready to pick even a hair -pin
off the rails ; in the signal towers were
the clever operators intently noting pro.
grees upon the choir of the wire, and as
the train passed each orose-roed where a
flagman was stationed, a big red flag wag
raised across the track as a warning to
any train that might attempt to follow.
Thus polioed the race against time bo.
grin. As a precautionary 'immure new
brake -shoes had been placed on the
wheels of the oars so that the brain
might be readily stopped.
"Mind your eye," was the quiet re-
mark dropped after passing Jenkintown,
and Engineer Hogan let her out just a
little. 'Oho run to Bethayres showed the
possibilitiort, and the wheels passed the
mile•poet beyond Jenkintown at a speed
of 50 emends. The the race began.
The first mile -pool at Rydal was passed
in 45 seoonds, but when 421 was an-
nounced for the secoud mile tuere was a
loud whistle of sin:pries.
The following mile showed 44 seeends.
The next three miles from Bethayres to
Somerton Were of a cheering sort,
There was a rush pent Somerton, and
for the next four miles the ties looked
like a oontinuoue layer ofplanks, the
telegraph poles were beginning to resem-
ble a fine-tooth comb, aud the rails from
the rear resembled a greased streak. A.
flash of gilt showed on the station, and
it took a quick eye to read the word
Somerton. The mile leading up to this
point showed a 42.8 mond gait.
It need not be wondered at that mail
at the stations held their hate to their
heads and women bent low to keep their
skirts down when this wheeled cyclone
passed.
The next mile was Dee that will ever
be rereembered, and the run is now a
part of relined history. There was but
a glimpse of the park and the fairy-like
hike, The rush was a grand oil% and
No. 200 passed under the wire in 89 4.6
%monde for the mile.
When this rush of five miles had been
accomplished Engineee Hogan cased up
a trifle so that his steed could take fresh
breeth. It reeled off the next mile in
47.4 seceincle, and steamed into Lang.
hoene at a gait Meowing 42 fleolOnds bo the
mile.
The remaining miles fell like chips
from a log handled by an expeet wood&

bushes, and in the coarse of the day the
other was found robbed of all its con-
tents in an adjacent potato patch. The
iudications are 111303 11130 depredators were
not very small boys, as the hive, weigh-

seven feet high. The value of the pro-
perty stolen end destroyed is about 515.
Kingsville has a youth who has a keen
sense of humor. As the morning train
pulled into the depot there the other day,
a young lady bound for Toronto and a
young gentleman going to New York
came on the train together. That was
all right as far as they were concerned
and nothing would have been thought of
it but for the irrepressible small boy.
He quietly came up behind the young
people as they were entering the oar and
showered them with handfuls of riee.
Everybody understands what that means
and the effect may be ituagined. The
young lady blushed f urionaly and the
young man—well, he would rather hem
been somewhere else.
