An DYL.

I saw her first on a day in spring. d.
By the side of a stream as l tished along.
And loitered to hear the robins sing,
And guessed at the secret they told in song
The apple-blossoms, so white and red,
Were mirrored beneath In the streamlet's
flow;
And the sky was blue far overhead,
And far In the depths of the brook below.
j lay half hid by a messy stone
And looked in the water for flower and SKY,
1 heard a step-I was not alone:
And a vision of loneliness met my eye.
I saw her come to the other side,
And the apple-blossoms were not more fair;
She stopped to gaze in the sunht tide,
And her eyes met mine in he water there.
She stopped in timid and muse surprise,
And that look might have listed till now, I
ween;
But modestly dropping her dose-like eyes,
She turned away to the meadow green.
I stood in wonder and rapture lost
At her slende form and her sep so free,
At her raven locks by the breeZss tossed,
Az she kicked up her heels IN the air for
glee.
TIL apple-blossoms are withered now.
But the sky and the meadow and stream are
there;
And whenever I wander that way I VOW
That some day I'll buy me that little black
m ire.

of Its Workings During a
Long Residence at

Correspondence Rochester Democrdt.) .
Nc city upon the American continent has
a larger floating population than Washing
ton. 1t is estimated that during the ses-
sions of Congress twenty-five thousand
people, whose homes are in various parts
of this and other countries, make this city
their place of residence. Some come here,
attracted by the advantages the city offers
for making the acquaintance of public
men; others have various claims which
they wish to present, while the great ma
jority gather here, as the crows flock to
the c%arrion, for the sole purpose OF getting
a morsel at the public crib. The latter
class, as a general thing, originate the
many schemes which terminate in vicious
bills, all of which are either directed at
the public treasury, or toward that reve-
nue. which the matchmaking. of corpora
tions or private enterprises may bring.
While walking down Pennsylvania ave
nue. the other day l met Mr.. William M.
Ashley, formerly of your city, whose long
residence here has mad him unusually
well acquainted with the operations of the
lobby.
Having made my wants in this particu-
lar direction known, in answer to an in
terrogative, Mr.. Ashley said:
eyes, during my residence here l have
become well acquainted with the workings
of the third House, as it is termed, and
could tell you of numerous jobs, which,

"You do not regard the lobby, as a body,
vicious, do you"
"Not necessarily so; there are good and
bad men comprising that body; yet there
nave been times when it must be admitted
that the combined power of the Third
House. has overridden the will of the peo-
pie. The bad influence of the lobby can be
seen in the numerous ~blood-bills that are
introduced at every session."
"But how can these be discovered"
EASILY enough, to the person who has
made the thing a study. 1 can detect them
at a glance"
''Tell me, to what bill do you refer?"
"Well, take the annual gas bills, for in
stance. They are introduced for the pur-
pose of bleeding the Washington Gas
Light Company. They usually result in
an investigating committee which never
amounts to anything more than a draft
upon the public treasury for the expenses
of the Investigation. Another squeeze is
the abdttoir bills, as they are called.
ers and market-men. The first attempt to
force a bill of this description was in 1877,
when a prominent Washington politician
offered a fabulous sum for the franchise"
Anything else in this line thai you
think of, Mr.. AshleyH
"Yes. there's the job to reclaim the Po-
tomac flats, which, had it become a law,
would have resulted in an enormous steal.
The work is now being don by the Gov
srnment itself, and will rid the place of
that malarial atmosphere of which we
hear SO much outside the CITY,"

experienced the bad results of living in

the publishers TO make n better paper,
