The Mnn with Ten Small children.

The Washington Star publishes the fol-
lowing this evening, which is not 60 much
|overdrawn as i. seems: One Of the figures
now seen daily in Washington, either at the
state department or at the white house, or
both, is small in stature and dark in COM
plexion. The owner Of the figure is an
Armenian by birth. In addition to being
dark, no is bald-hesded, jerky, and very
excitable. He came here four years ago.
He came TO get u place. Though only about
40 years of age, he has ton small
children, tho same number that, according to
the old New England primer, followed John
Rodgers, the martyr, to the stake. His claims
for an office lay in the fact that no had done
some campaign work in Missouri in 1876, and
in the ten small children. He trotted those
children out on every occasion. lie had
pictures of each of them in his pocket and
also group picture. He would show his
photograph gallery TO you, and tell when
\ the one had The measles and tho other tho
Group. Ho told President Hayes about
these BARNS. Secretary Evar,s was
as familiar with them all rs If
they had been his own. The patriarch of
these ten wanted 20 60 abroad. It was u
year before no saw daylight He was then
sent TO small commercial sgoncy on the
continent. 1t took him just ono week long
or than two passages across the ocean to get
back. In that week he hsd got into trouble.
He gave up the job, bat wanted another.
Tho ten children were trotted out again, aud
their history and.helplessness sgsin rchearsed
to President Hayes and Secretary Evarts,
Secretary Evarts said that he never had so
much trouble with his own large family OF
eleven. But the Armenian hung on. Hang
ing was his strong hold. He conquered
again. They sent him down on tho 18th mus.
lie was back again in ivo months. II took
him two weeks passage each way. The
other three months he WAS sick with Chagres
