Of Woit!'. tbo famous French milli
xjer it is iou* that, l'.io;ign be person- I
ally tilted all bis patrons, "tho woman
is not living to r,houi he- ever paid a
compliment."
The Philadelphia Press, in speaking
of tbo income tax hi its relations to
rents and realty, says: What is u reut
What is realty? lu mixed property,
both real and personal, whto'j is real
aud which is persona.' No two States
iu the L'uion answer these questions
alike.
In n valedictory published iu Sun?

It lins been said that "a mnu is uot
appreciated ttutil he has gone from
nmoug ns,"uud iu very many cotes Htieh
??38 the fact. Mou as a rule simply live, j
eat, drink, sleep aud die. They puss
away, and are soon forgotten. Very
low hvo to a purpose, and fewer still
do auythiug iu tiod's great world
Worthy of remembruuee.
But then there are others whose net
ore worthy of emulation?men who
contribute to the public good ?who arc
Benefactors to the race. Tin n there
are others still, greut aud good men,
who, like their Master, go through the
world spreading sunshine in their path?
way and lighting up .smiles upon fecos
phrouded with sadness, men whose
very presence is like utituwu suushine
in shaded places.
Of the latter the late Kobert Louis
Stevensou may be counted an
n man who will he greatly
missed. Bnl not until he bad
ceased to spook to us uu> tho beauty
of his life fully understood aud ap?
preciated. The following little paper,
which he composed and read to his
family on the evening preceding his
death was the last thing he wtote:
?'We beseech Thee, Lord, to behold
ns with favor, tolk of many families
and uatious gathured togetuer lu the
peace of this roof; weak tuen and do?
rnen subsisting under the covert of
thy patience. Be patient still; Hull'er
us yet uwhile longer, with our broken
promises of good, with cur idle oudeu
Tors against evil: sutler ns awhile long?
er to endure, und (it it may bei help
us to do batter. Bless to ii6 our extra
ordinary mercies if the day come when
these must be taken, have us play the
man under aillictiou. He with our
friends, be with ourselves. (Jo with
each oi us to rest: if auy wake, temper
to them the dark bo.irs of watching;
nod when the day returns to us, our
Bun aud comforter, call us with inoru
iug faces und with tuoruiug hearts,
eager to labor, enger to be happy, if
happiness ?ball be our portion: ami if
the day be marked to sorrow, strong
to endure it. Wo thank Theo aud
praiee Thee; aud.in the words of Him
to wliom this day ie sacred, close our
oblation."
No one who reads this beautiful
appeal to tho Most High can but feel
that the heart which prompted it was
that of a pure iood. Kobert Lonis
Stevenson produced much that wus
beautiful, but nothing will compare iu
pathotio interest to tbo above

The announcement in Tin. Viroisian
Sunday of the conclusion of tbo elec?
tric railroad to run its cars to the city

Tho completion of tho extension of
