Was basking in the sun.
And near him, sported, full of glec
Ills stalwart son, young Abram G..

Which he, outside the Senate House.
In playing there, had found
lie ran to ask what he had found
That was so smooth. and soft. and round.
James Garfield took it from the boy
Who stood expectaut by,
And sadly turned il Ger and ocr,
Ard rubbed it, with sigh
Why. It's Ros. Conkling's head" quoth hc,
Lost In the famous lainborec!"
Now tell us what twas all about"
Cried little Abram &.
Did Conkling make the jamboree
What could his reason he Z"
Why, that cannot tell" quoth he.
But, twas famous jamboree!"
They call hun, pa. a statesman great;
What did he ever dos
Did he make any of our laws
Or help to push 'cm through 7"
Why no, he never did," quOth he,
But twas famous jarboree!"
"Ive read my history book clean through"
Said Gariicld's little son.
Aud not "a word. from end to end

Loved Eattery more than pies and cakes
And paid for it--with stares!
And when dared to cross him. he

Filled with his Deeds alone!

Stirred by ltos. Conklings jamborce
"Old NewYork State was shaken up;
And all her Legislators,
Instead of getting to their farms,
And hoein' corn and Eaters,
Were kept at work in Albany,
TO settle Conkling's jamborce!
But while the row was at its height
There came a sudden crash
The people woke. This vile machine.

two-thirds OF the pending claims carry

ment east. He told the yesselmen that
he would give them all they could do for
the rest OF the fall, Offering them three
cents bushel to carry corn to Buffalo.
Tho vessel men held off for 81 cents
and after consulting together rejected
the offer. Within an hour the railways
learned of it, and offered to carry corn
to New York for seven cents, which sum
was to include the three centsIterminal
charges. 1t was an unprecedented offer,
which no man could refuse, and Mr..
Hobbs principals telegraphed in haste
for him to accept the offer. 1t was
taken, and in twinkling the vessel men
found the most gigantic game on which
the eyes OF an old salt were ever laid,
which they had kicked from their own
grasp. They have since come down to
three cents, two cents, one and half
cents, one cent. and even offered vessels
fee SO as to have ballast, and are now
stripping for winter, having refused
work enough to occupy every vessel on
the lake till winter.
