Odd, But Even.

1t is quite a number of years
since this old camel story trotted
along the sands of time, so as the
circus season is here it has been sug-
gested that the Free Press start the
ancient animal on its travels again.
This is how it happened: About
Rem Eli McGuffin, being full of years
died, leaving to his three sons his
seventeen camels for the simple rea-
son that he could not take them
along with him. The will, duly at
tested, said the eldest was to have
one half, the second one-third, and
the Youngest ope-ninth of the seven
teen camels. The boys were lit
tie perplexed at this as it seemed to
involve the cutting up of camel,
and camels were worth SO day on
the Sahara that season. But the
boys, if not first-class mathemati-
clans, had level heads and did not
go to law to prove the old man in
sane, but went instead to the good
old Cadia Hassan o 'Donahue who
had taken a medal at mathematics
at Ann Arbor.
"Boys," said the good Cadi re-
reproachfully, you should not both
er me with these little matters, Ask
me a harder one."
But seeing they were troubled
the benevolent old man asked the
hostler to trot out his own dilapi-
dated camel which had seen its best
days travelling with Barnum as the
Sacred Nnu of Persia.
Placing the aged brute with the
seventeen camels the boys had
brought along, he said:
There are eighteen. eamels- l
shall now give you hal. of the eigh-
teen, which is nine. How does that
strike you y"
at hit where / live, said the el-
dest? who was slangy but withal
pleased getting half of eighteen
rather than half of seven
teen.
"The next boy. shall have one
third of eighteen which is six. Are
you there, Morlority?"
"You bet," said the boy.
1.-THE next will have one-ninth OF
eighteen which is two," and so the
third youngster collared his two
camels. Thus two and six and
nine made seventeen and still was
the good Cadi's animal unsathed.
The people marveled, as the Cadi
and given each more than the will
called for, which is rather unusual
in courts of law. And they said one
to another" that's what it is to be
good at figures"

BECAUSE.

Now. john, the district teacher says,
With frown that scarce can hide
The:dimpling smile around his mouth
Where Cupid's hosts abide,
What have you done to Mary Ann
That she is crying so?
Don't say twas nothing-don't, say.
For. John, that can't be so.
For Mary Ann would never cry
At nothing. am sure,
And if you have wounded justice, John,
You know the only cure
Is punishment. So come, stand up
Transgression must abide
The pain attendant on the scheme
That makes it justified"
So John steps forth, with sunburnt face
And hair all in tumble,
His laughing eyes contrast to
His dropping mouth SO humble.
Now, Mary, you must tell me all
! see that John will not,
And if he's been unkind or rude

Upon the teachers face the smiles
Have triumphed DER the frown,
pleasant thought runs thro' her mind
The stick comes harmless down.
But outraged law must be avenged
Begone, We smiles, begone!
Away, ye little dreams of love,
Come on, We frowns, come on;
think I'll have to whip you, John,
Such conduct breaks the rule;
No boy, except naughty one,
Would kiss girl-at school"
Again the teachers rod is raised.
Nemesis she stands
A premium were put on sin
1fpunished by such hands
As when the bee explores the rose
We see the petals tremble,
So trembled Mary's rosebud lips
Her heart would not dissemble:
wouldn't whip him very hard
The stick stops in its fall

What made you cry, then, Mary Auny'
The school noise makes a pause
And ont upon the listening air
From Mary comes Because :"

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, April, Z, 1884

WASHINGTON, April, 7, 1884.
The erudite members of the Upper
House have been indulging during
the greater part of the past week in
animated discussion upon the Blair
educational bill. The measure appro-
propriates $15O,OOO, 900, and the main
idea, whichis to give the South funds
to educate the negroes, finds favor on
both sides of the senate. The strong
est opposition comes from MIR.
Morgan, whose speech attracted much
attention. It was frank statement
of opposition on constitutional
grounds, and an equally frank express
sion of doubt as to the real value Of
education to the negro. The prin-
cipal bone of contention upon the bill
is, however, upon the question OF the
system of distribution and super
vision of the fund, and it is here, if
anywhere, that the bill will fail. In
this connection Mr.. Hoar has intro
duced an amendment providing for
the distribution Of only $7,000,000
the first year, 100000 the second,
SIS, 100000, the third, and then the
amount to diminish at the rate Of
S2,000,000 year for a period Of
over eight years. Mr.. Blair is conf
dent OF the passage Of his bill with
out radical alteration, and it has been
agreed 10 finally dispose of the meas
ure to-day.
The House entered Saturday upon
what promises TO be one Of the bitter
est fights Of the session The Pub
lie Lands Committee got the floor
with the bill forfeiting the Oregon
Central land grant II lis one Of the
eight bills which the committee has
reported since the House passed the
bills repeating the land grants Of the
Texas Pacific and eight other
roads which made no pretense Of hav-
ing earned their grants. The bills
now to be considered relate 10 roads
which claim 10 have earned Their
grants N whole or in part, and here

OUR KIND OF A MAN.
ny J. W. RILEY

BY J. W. RILEY.
The kind Of man for you and me!
He faces the world unfinchingly,
And smites, as-long as the wrong resists,
With a knuckled faith and force like fists.
He lives the life he is preaching Of,
And loves where most Is the need Of love;
His voice ia clear to the deaf mans ears,
And his face sublime through the blind
mans tears;
The light shines out whore the clouds were
dim,
And the widows prayer goes mp for him
The latch is clicked at tho hovel door,
And the sick man sees the sun once more,
And out DER the barren field he sees
Springing blossoms and waving trees,
Feeling, as only the dying may,
That Gods own servant has come that way,
Smoothing the path as it still winds on
Through the golden gate where his loved
have gone.
The kind OF man for me and you,
However little of worth we do
He credits full, and abides in trust
That time will teach us how more is Just.
He walks abroad, and he meets all kinds
OF querulous and uneasy minds,
And, sympathizing, he shares the pain
Of the doubts that rack us, heart and brain,
And knowing this, as we grasp his hand,
We are surely coming to understand
He looks on sin with pitying'eyes-
Fen as the Lord since Paradise
Else, should we read, though our sins
should glow
As scarlet. they shall be as white rs snow?
And feeling still, with grief half glad,
Tint the bad are as good as the good are
bad, The
He strikes straight out for the Right-and
Is the kind of man for you and me!

still Governor, and ruling his vassals
with rod of iron. In the early part
of 1886, without shadow Of law or
authority, he deposed all the custom
house officers and appointed his own
brother and his other creatures in
their stead, in order that he might
have the exclusive control and manage.
ment of the customs in his own hands.
He next without regard to the federal
tariff, established an arbitrary duty
upon all merchandise entering from
the United States-$500 upon each
wagon load, without reference to the
quality of goods it might contain, or
their value. To some of the traders,
whose wagons happen to he heavily
loaded with the finer kind of mercha
disc, this singular imposition is exceed
ingly favorable; while to others, with
light or not valuable loading, it is
equally oppressive.
From the material I have at hand,
I could give q connected detail Of
weekly acts Of cruel injustice and
most glaring partiaity. Fenelons
graphic picture of bad ruler has q
living and faithful counterpart in the
present Governor of New Mexico.
Foreigners are the especial objects OF
his hatred; and acts and decisions
effecting the well-being of his whole
province are as often founded upon
feeling of hatred towards small
class, or perhaps, some luckless in
duvidual who has excited his jealousy
or fallen under q ban of his most
unaccountable caprice. Still oftener
do his acts of public administration
have their source in some private
advantage to which he has a single
eye. Still there is not that overt
demonstration of malice towards
foreigners that he daily makes towards
his own cringing and servile country
men. He is afraid of Anglo Saxon
blood, and he seeks to spill it by
protecting the knife of the secret
assassin, or by influencing, to
most outrageous decisions, his farcical
courts of law. Not unfrequently do
his own lusty ,sinews find congenial
employment in the open streets of
Santa Fe, in welding the cane and
cudgel about the ears of his native
subjects, and never yet has he found
one bold enough to strike back.
He raps them over the sconce with
more impunity, because with vastly
less sentiment, than did Hamlet the
grinning scull of "poor Yorick."

right OF way, and that the gloomy
prospect for many important meas
ures now hung up to dry on the cal
endars, as for instance the McPher-
son banking bill, is that they will
stay where they are till they die OF
old age, on the fourth Of March, 1885.
1t is therefore very fortunate that
the Congressional library bill has
been made special order" The
people at large begin to feel that the
vast government collection OF books
is by no means mere Congressional
library. 1t is fairly and fully repre-
sentative OF the intellectual life OF the
American people, and the question OF
providing an adequate library build
has grown to be Of national import
ance, The books and periodicals OF
the library already number far above
q half million, giving it the fifth or
sixth rank among the great govern
ment libraries of tho globe. Its law
books alone exceed 10000 volumes in
number, making it the largest collec-
ton Of Jurisprudence in the country.
Its grand collection of maps numbers
nearly ten thousand, illustrating
every part of the country from the
the charts of the earliest explorers
down to the latest postal maps issu-
ell by the government. In school
and college text books its collection
is most complete. Inpolitical science
and economies the library is very rich,
while in the history Of nations and OF
epochs, it has all the more important
literaturein every language. The ma
tional expression Of the requirement
for suitable accommodations for this
vast collection and literary treasure
has at last visibly affected law max
ers on Capitol hill, and the prospects
are bright for an early passage OF
the bill.
The average Representative in
Congress must givepatient ear to the
expressions of his constituents, and
must carefully obey their dictates.
His life is not o very happy one.
The drudgery is incessant. He has
to answer from ten to fifty letters
daily. He must also 1ook after the
the interests of his constituents
which means doing everything, from
getting forty-fve different sorts of
garden seeds for the farmer to obtain
ing positions for the party workers
at home. Besides this he is never
sure that some one is not covertly
undermining him by cutting the
ground upon which he stands polite
ally from under his feet at home.
Every two years he must make fu
rious canvas to maintain his position.
In fact, it is all work, if he does his
duty,and no play, for $4,000, year.
Under the teachings of the well found
ed adage, this make Jacka dull boy,
and to this circumstance of mental
and physical drudgery for his con-
stituency may be attributed the de-
cline of oratory, Legislative, and in
tellectual work. LENox.
