to you in coming to decision which
viii subserve the best interests of
our party and the highest welfare of
the whole people of our district,
then my task will be more gracious
and less impairment.
For three years / have been res
ident of this city, and Leonidas
Caesar Houk has been by virtue OF
your votes and mine our Represent
alive in Congress. And while have
not approved his course (for with
full knowledge of it this was moral
impossibility), yet for obvious reasons
| have not felt the responsibility
resting upon me to expose his scam
dalous conduct during the greater
part of this period, nor have / in any
manner sought to do him a private
or public injury. But it has been
my misfortune to incur the displeas-
ure of Mr.. Houk by committing the
objectionable sin of preferring Mr.
Rule for Congress This is the head
and front of my offending" Mr. Houk
writes Honorable before his name,
and II. c. at the end it, while
l am not supposed TO have any po-
litical power or influence in Wash
ington, because | am only clerk III
the Post-office Department, and I
trust you will not do me the injus
tice TO suppose that in
exposing the shortcomings of our
misrepresentation in Congress |
have been governed by selfish mo
tives. Upon the receipt of letter
from him, which l give below, l felt
that [ had JUST liable pretext for
the performance of Il duty to the
public, and that / would be sus-
tanned by my superiors in Office, and
what is no less a matter of concern
to me, by the generous approval
OF the people of the Second
District, and by fair minded men
everywhere.
If l were not fully and cor
rectly informed of Houk's filthy per
sonal character. and if it were not
notorious in this city, of course as a
prudent man [ would not dare ar
raign him at the bar of public opin :,
ion, and make an issue which would
o lace me at an immense disadvanA
tage.
This choice between integrity and
dishonesty, sobriety and debauchery,
decency and prostitution-in a word,
a preference for gentleman to a
blackguard-called forth the follow
ing extraordinary kingly proclsma-
ton from little Caesar.
HOUSE oE REPRESENTATIVES
WASHINGTON, d. c., July ID, 1882. !
To j. B. Broeonloso, Esq:
Sri just wish to say there is no
serious division among the Republic
cans Of the second Congressional
district of Tennessee, and if it is
your purpeee to try to create the i'm
preston here that there is, and that
official pressure should be brought to
bear to retire both Rule and myself,
which is no doubt part of the pros
gramme of the old custom house
ring, l will see if | can't bring some
official pressure to bear in order to
send you home to work for living.

Respectfully, etc,
L. c. HoUK.
Upon receipt of this royal com
mand, il which Mr. Houk assumes
that the government offices are his
personal property, my duty to my
self and to you was SO clear and
urgent that I exposed its author
through the columns of the New
York Herald, and now IN a more
personal manner propose to invite
your attention to his Congressional
career.
Being so far removed from my
district and home [ really never
thought of taking any part in the
election for Congress until [ received
this bullying letter. In view of the
fact that when it was written, and
for weeks before, many Federal Off

The facts of Houk's outrageous
conduct, as I have stated them, are
notorious in Washington. The spec
tators in the galleries of Congress
see him staggering over the floor

Odd Delivery of Letters.

A short time ago Captain Crawford,

from land, board about three inches
wide by three feet long, upon one end
of which was bottle filed with wine,
while upon the other end was another
bottle filled with letters. Upon one side
of the board was written: "Please
mail the letters and drink the wine. Of

for Pensacola, Fla. Please break the
bottle and mail enclosed letters" Upon
the other side of the board was written /:

containing the letters was broken. Cap

An Indian hunter who knew of two
litters of cubs which he intended to cap
ture as soon as they were old enough to
be taken from their dam, was antici-
pated in one case by q black cat and in
the other by fox. The latter paid the
penalty of his adventure with his life,
and was found in the den literally torn
into shreds by the furious bear. The
fox had killed one of the cubs and the
old bear hoping to find a more secure
place, had gone off with the two remain
ing cubs. Upon another occasion he was
not so fortunate. Stimulated by the
large price offered by the officers of
garrison town for q pair of live cubs,
he was indefatigable in his efforts to find
a den. One day, when accompanied by
his little son, boy of ten, he discov-
cred unmistakable traces of bears den
near the top of hill strewn with gran
ite boulders, and almost impossible
from the number of fallen pines. One
old pine had fallen up hill, and its up
reared roots, with the soil clinging to
them, formed. with very large rock, a
triangular space, into which the snow
had drifted to the depth of ten or twelve
feet. The Indian was about to pass on,
when he detected the whining of bear
cubs. By making a detO,tr he reached
place on q level with the bottom of the
boulder, and there saw the tracks of an
old bear, leading directly into the center
of the space between the tree foot and
the boulder The older bear, In her
comings and goings, had tunnelled
passage under the snow drift. Getting
down on his hands and knees, the In
dian, with his knife held between his
| teeth, crept, bear fashion, into the tun-
mel. After entering several feet he
found the usual bear device-a path
branching off in two directions. While
pondering what to do under such cir
cumstances, a warning cry came from
his little son, who was perched on the
top of the boulder, and the next instant
the old bear came rushing into the tun-
mel. and came into violent contact with
the Indian, the shock causing the tTln-
| mel to cave in, The Indian, after deal
ing the bear one blow, lost his knife In
the snow, and seized the bear with his
hands; but she proved too strong for
him, and was the first to struggle out of
the drift, when, unfortunately, she met
the little Indian boy, who had climbed
down to his fathers rescue. He re-
ceived tremendous blow on the thigh
from the bears paw as she passed,
which crippled him for life. -Four days
a,terward the Indian, determined to
avenge the death OF his son by Staying
the old bear, returned to the den and
found her lying dead upon the snow in
front of the boulder his one blow had
gone home and the poor creature had
crawled back to her young to die.
The Indian dug away the snow and
found the cubs one was dead and the
others died before he could reach the
camp.
