cient sexton, has done some tood
work there lately. The k ass has
all been cleaned out, the roadways
fixed up and many of tbe graves
turfed. Mr. Jones deserves (special
credit for his efficient services.
He was passing along in the quiet
enjoyment of life. He felt in full ac
cord with himself and all the world.

stars in a moment than the telescope

St. Mary's School.
We learn that the present term of
this time honored and most excellent
institution is one of the most success
ful it has ever had. This is as it
should be, because it is conceded on
all sides that there is no better fe
male institution of learning in the
country. There are hundreds of mat
rons in our State who received their
educational training within ite walls
Long may it prosper.
Our Capitol Square.
Capt. Roberts, tbe efficient and po
lite superintendent of the capitol and
square, is most engergetic in his en
deavors to make the property under
his control as beautiful as tbe meagre
allowance allowed him will permit. It
is a great pity that the General As
sembly does not make a more liberal
appropriation for the square, so that
it may be adorned in a manner re
fleeting credit upon the State. It
could be made at a small cost the
most beautiful public park in the
South.
The Election.
The municipal election today has
been an; unusually quiet one. It
seems to be generally conceded that
the regular democratic tickets in the
1st, 2d, 3d and 5th wards will be elect
ed. The 4th as usual will elect re
publican aldermen.
