A GOOD DEED BRINGS $1,000, 900
TO A FLORIDA MAN.

we ma the following In Jacksonville
Florids, paper Of recent date:
More than twenty years ago Major
Waldo A. Blossom, who is now in Jack
sonville, was q resident of Warrington.
While there, chance cast In his way q
young man named Lsrimer, in whom he
became deeply interested. Larimer had
been led astrsy by the influence of wicked
associations, and was utterly dissipsted--
to all appearance a moral and physical
wreck.
1t 10 more than probable that Major
Blossom discovered redceming qualities
in the young man, notwithstanding the
depths to which dissipation had brought
him, for tbs "good Samaritan" rescued
him from tho gutter, gave him . pleasant
home, and assisted him by counsel and the
aid OF fine social in fluences to mkks him
self new man. After his reformation
wss effected, the young man returned to
his parents, who resided in Colorado, and
for number OF years his generous bsns.
factor heard nothing Of him.
In December Of last year Major Bios
SONS attention was called TO an adver.
tissment in Boston paper, over the
signature Of "Larimsr," inquiring tho
address OF w. A. Blossom. He responded
| 70 tne inquiry, and soon received o letter
from the parents Of his former protege
10 CASTILLO county, Colorado, informing
him that their son, in dying, had willed
his property TO him, in gratitude for the
kind deeds Of years agone.
| The letter, which feslingly alluded to
this act, gave the sequal to the reformed
man's life. He applied himself vigor-
ously TO business after his return TO Col.
orado became an honorable and usiful
member Of society, and in few year,
srnassed . large fortune, all Of which, val.
ued at 81 900, 900, will fall into che pos.
sesaion of Major Blossom next June.
No act OF genuine charity 10 ever lost.
Somewhere in tho conservatory Of good
deeds the plant will put forth its BIOS
SONS and shed its perfume, perhaps in the
balm and brilliance of the eternal morn
Ing, perhaps in the subdued light and
murky atmosphere of the mortal life.

torted by saying that Hinton had drawn

political services. Hinton's friends
expected that of course he would
promptly disavow this monstrous
charge. Instead, he las confessed II. He
has made IN affidavit which sets forth that
he was paid for his services 40 secretary
of the republican executive committee
during the last presidential campaign
with sinecure clsrkship in the pension
office worth $1,000 . year. But, pleads
the accused, did not ask for the appoint

Harlan put me into the place; and i did
not then, and do not now,

guilty, not ], II any guilt there be. This
last plea is equivalent TO saying: IF
Smith lets me into the Treasury vaults,
and steal all can lay hands on, Smith

my name" If q paymaster had offered
Col. Hinton during the war an opportu-

that good journalist like Hinton should

this transaction petty larceny. There 10
no pretense that Hinton ever did an hours

services TO the Republican party. This

The two wings of tho printing commit
tee were heard from to-day through the

report, rs 10 the oondition of state bind
ing affairs. Mr.. Bradwell represented .
powerful minority, consisting Of himself
His report stated that everything was
lovely, and the building contract wasn't
| making expenses, excep on tibet item OF
the state horticultural reports. This mat
| ter, however, afforded occasion
tor howl. Tho binding on
these reports comes outside Of
the regular contract, and hence the state
commissioners made special contract,
allowing tho binder ffty-eight cents for
each volume, when IL was not worth moro
than twenty-five cents. In fact the
binder had taken the regular contract at
losing figures, expecting to make up his
losaes on special work Of this kind. This
practice has prevailed for years, but should
be abolished. Hence Mr.. Dradwsll
recommended that, although the state
binder has, all IN ali, received not more
than fair price for his work, no should
be made an example Of, and the House
should instruct tho printing committee TO
restate his accounts, allowing him only
twenty-five cents per volume for the agri-
cultural reports. This would reduce the
claim Of tho state binder by $1,000. @
The majority report, signed by all the
other members of tho DOM mittoe, agrees
with the minority report az TO tho state
mont offsets, but argues that, o. tho spe.
cial binding was contracted tor by
responsible state officers, and ~ the price,
though much too high, was lower than
that OF the previous year, and that Is the
binder took the regular contract at rates
far lcss than reasonable, with the under.
| standing that he would receive this sps.
cial work, and that, ~ whom the whole
work is averaged il 10 found that he has
received nothing more than fair price
for all, therefore Il would not be just to
cut him off - proposed in the minority
report, but he should be paid in accord.
