Francis p. Blair, deceased, upon whose CS-
tate letters of administration were granted 70

"To live ifty-four years and die worth five

died worth only five hundred dollars.
He was the brains, blood, bone, muscle,

however that he ever made any money by it,.

BY ROSE TERRY COOKE.

Once on time she came to me,
As some small star from heaven might flee
TO be IA mOrtal'S sole delight,
\ love by day, a dream by night,
The sweetest thing on land or SEQ,
My little darling crcpt to me;
A trembling, tender, fairy thing,
Too grave to smile too sad to sing,
Aware of earth with gricvcd surprise,
An alien from her native skies,
A baby angel strange to see,
My little darling came TO me.
But love and loving taught her smiles,
And life and living baby wilcs-
The way to cling to coax, to kiss,
To FIJI my soul with deepest bliss;
Ny heart Of hearts, my l,fc, was she,
This little love who came 10 Inc.
What words she stammcrcd, soft and low,
No other ear but mine could know;
More gentle than cooling dove,
More fond than any voice OF love,
so shy, so sweet, 80 tendcrly,
My little darling spoke to me.
know not how to tell the grace
That dwclt upon her wistful face
The tinted skin, the the lips pure bloom,
The clcarcst eyes that knew not gloom,
Inc hulf rs sou ar noun wings ne,
My little darling showed to me.
Alas | know that all is gone,
That here | sit and grieyc alone;
That every fair and gracious thing
| loved and lost Is but sting,
Another thorn thy memory,
Ny little darling, brings to me.
But kindly night doth pity paia,
In all my drcnms she comes again;
Her precious head Is on my breast;
Ny happy arms Carcss her rest
| hear her words Of tender glcc:
Ny little darling kisses mt.
All sweet is night--too sweet, too brief
when day recalls our bittcrest grief,
The hungry heart, the longing dire
That burns the soul with fam desire,
The ancient cry of wild distress,
The Rachel mourning, comfortlcss,
O God! once more that face to see

The Sizing" SWinGlc.

Some months ago we called attention to
certain diagreeable rumOrs III circulation
concerning what is known rs the sizing
contract" OF the treasury department From
the information then IN our possession we ielt
justified in suggesting that lively lnvestlga
ton al the point indicated might develop
some facts interesting alike to congress and
the country. Such an investigation is now on
foot, and though it has proceeded only lit
tie way the ricancSs uuearthCd Is exceeding
ly satisfactory.
The story, as far as told, runs thus: To
give the flutterlng grccnback bird the gay and
glossy plumage ii ;,ears, peculiar SIZING Is
necessary. NOw, sizing is no kin to the phi
losophers stone, or the elixir of life, and
consequently the ingredients and mode Of
manufacture Of the best article are within the
reach of modern chemical ability. If the
treasury department had offered reward OF
one thousand dollars Tor the article desired,
there is not the slightest doubt that It would
have been forthcoming and given perfect sat
isfaction. But, as usual, red tape, or something
W rse strangled common sense; and when
the sizing composition now in use was offered
to the department, the inventor asked $4,000
for the recipe. The proposition was declined,
for reasons impossible TO understand in view
of the fact that precisely the same COMPOSE.
ton was subsequently adopted. What could
have been procured for $lOOO-lt the com
petition had been frce-and what was actual.
ly offered for $4,000 has cost the govern.
ment, since 1870, the enormous sum OF
S4uO,0GOg Instead Of purchasing the recipe
of the inventor outright, the treasury depart
ment has been paying him an annual royalty,
Amounting in single gear 10 $i2OOOO. And
to cap the climax, If we may trust The lnior-
nation furnished our special correspondent,
the composition has not been 90. i'cd ana
could have been used without p - a cent
to anybody, except for the raw H. '.
In sheer impudencC the sizing rag Is
entitled to bear the palm over all competitors,
| Who formed this ring is not yet definitely
known outside the committee room; but the
statement, that a broihcriu-Iaw OF McCar'ce,
the chief OF the treasury printing bureau,
had large interest in the sizing contrac',
and the sudden resignation of McCartee MIN
self, shows pretty clearly whose pockets the
ROYALTY money lined 1t appears moreover,
| that when Secretary BriStOw took charge OF
the department his attention was called to the
subject, az d he immediately ordered an analy-
sis If the 100000 grccuback attachment.

work on one excuse and another, and re-
mort has never been made. They were proOa,

rOOR FARMER JOHN.

Old Farmer Joha is sore perplexed-
Nav, farmer John is really vexed'
He iabors early, la6ors late,
Yet ever talks Of adverse tate;
Nor all his toilings scarce suilicc,
Oflonred.for lands TO pay the price,
Tho summers come, the summers go,
The spring showers waste the "intcr '"o'
,i,be while from dawn till close of day,
Receiving nauyht but frowns for pay;
Ills rood wife tolls and anxious care
Has faded lip and check and hair
Acres on acres stretch away
of Woodland corn, of wheat and nay
His cattle roam DER many a MI,
His brooklct turns the groanlng mil
Yet still he signs, and longs Tor more,
And grumblcs Ger that lac IS poor
Four sturdy sons, four daughters fair
Claimed at his hands fathers care,
He gave them labor without cnd,
And stroyc their souls like his, to bend
Into the narrowing groove Of thought,
Gold TO be earned and land to be bought.
Yes, farmer John is growing poor
You feel it as you pass his door,
His old brown house is small and mean.
The roof is warped by crack and seam,
The leaning bars, the nan hlhSeu "oo''
Proclaim old John is very poor.
No books, no pictures on the wall,
Carpctlcss rooms and drcary hall,
Why think il strange such farmers boys
Should seek the city's pomp and noise:
should learn to loathe the sight of home
Where naught OF joy or grace may come?
Why think it strange his poor old wife,
Who coined for him her very life,
Should pause at last, despite his frown,
And lay her weary burden down
In 10Y, to walk the streets OF Heaven,
Where naught is sold, but all Is given
Go where you will, search earth around,
The poorest man that can be found,
Is he who tolls through life, to gain
Widest extent OF hill and plain,
Forgetting all his souls best needs,
In counting DER his title.deeds.

How n stranger Fleeced a Hotel-hccpcr.
Inairnif Eraa Prnss.L


Wednesday afternoon nan entered one OF
the billiard rooms of this city and engaged
IN game of billiards. He wore long and
stylish Ulster overcOat while his pants were
tucked inside Of his bootlcgs lie PLAYED
about two hours, and when settling time ar,
rived his bill amounted to S21j. Cautiously
approaching the proprietor, he SAID thai he
didn't have cent, but was willing TO leave
anything rs security, promising to redeem
them IN the morning. In reply the proprie.
tor told him anything he wished, wEercat the
stranger asked 10 be shown to aprivate room.
His request was complied with, and in about
five minutes he returned, carrying upon his
arm PAIR of pants nearly new of very styl-
Sh make. He handed them 10 the saloon
keeper, saying: Take en-; they cost me
SlS last week, but I'll redeem en- tomorrow
morning"
"But what will you wear homer" said the
proprietor. Il don't wish 10 strip ycu."
That's all right said the stranger. NV
Ulster asd top boots easily make up for the
lack of trousers, and I'll redeem the pledge
in the morning Thus the account was set
tied, and the stranger departed.
Then the stranger went to Gilman Broth
crs' Oyster Ocean Hotel, and calling for a
room retired. Yesterday morning he appear
cd at the ho'cl Office and said 20 the clerk 4:
Last night | engaged room here and re.
tired. This morning | avokc to fiud that
during the High, nal lost my pants, which
contained al the money had,-a5out $2j
It's an unfortunate transaction for me. and
while have no wish 10 appear hard To- suit,
do wish that IL may not reflect upon the
management Of this hotel Therefore leave

to abide by your decision without COM
