VIRTUE ITS OWN REWARD.

The King OF Somewhere loved the Queen
OF SOmcwhcrclsc most dearly
And In his Courticr Gobctwecn
Conhdcd he sincerely.
The Courticr was Pleasant man,
OF rcadiest invention.
And always had some clever plan
To hold the King attention.
The Queen was coy and hard TO please,
As best bcSccmcd her station;
Tho King upon his Bonded knees
She kept I'm application.
No faVoring answer would she give,
No smile of kind conseuting:
And while the King was flin TO live.
Yet life was all lamcutiny.
At last he prayed his Courtier wiso
To aid i'm his proceeding:
The COurtcr's ready wits devise
Plans worthy of his breeding.
He hastcnod TO the naughty Queen.
And praised his ROYAL Highucss;
So willy was this Gobctwccn
He chucklcd DER his slyness.
The Queen was softencd by his art,
And when her sutton rendered
His royal Kingdom tand his hcarD,
She graciously surrendered.
Tho King and Queen lived happily.
I'm hand and heart were welded:
AS for the Counterfeit me see
Oh, yes-hc was bcheadcd.

ON TO CHICAGO.

The Possibilities of the Repubiicnn
Representation from this Dis
trict.
The contest over the election of dele.
gates from this District to the Republican
Nominating Convention ut Chicago will
be an interesting and bitter one. The
fight is already raging and has been ever
since the first call for the election Of dele
gates from sub districts was issued.
The fight is, however, II quiet aud secret
one, and the coloTed residents are most nc.
tive in the pending negotiations and can
vases.
As has been the case in all recent con-
tests the division will occur between the
factions that designate themselves the
young mems element and the older
element, aud the split will be
q wide and irrecOncilable one. The senior
element are very quiet, though active aud
strong, and their preferences and plans are
not readily disclosed.
The young men are confident and active
and boast their ability to elect both delo-
gates to the convention.
CRITIC reporter asked Mr.. Chase, the
editor Of the Bee, and one of the champions
oil theyoungor faction, for some information
as to VINO VIII probably DO given the in
huence of the District of Columbia at tho
convention.
"The contest said Mr.. Chase, will be be-
tween the older and younger factions, the
old party that has ruled the District aud
managed its conventions for years aud tho
new party that has recently awakened tho
interest of the younger element. The
older faction will probably rally around tho
Blaine standard and the younger mon arc
solid for Logan, first, last and all the time"
who will the younger element favor as
delegates2p
I'VE will support one white aud one col
ored man. DIR. Adams will have our unani-
nous support as one of the two"
"The other will be yourself or Professor
Gregory ?" queriod the reporter.
There will be no contest in that matter.
The one who develops the greatest strength
and Is the choice of the faction will receive
the support Of the other, so there will not
be division in our ranks"

ApLAYEp-ouT PROFESSION.
The Lot of n Washington Guide fl
Not n Happy one.

When you see weathor-beat impecu-
NOUS, sad-eyed citizen, ragged aud de-
jectod, standing near one of the public
uulidings, with ponsive air, gazing in
every direction as though he were looking
for somebody who would not come and was
tired Of the job, you can pity the sorrows
Of a Washington guide In hard luck. Tho
guide is great Washington institution now
rapidly falling into decay a relic of a by
gone day. The times when tho guide
rested under the suspicion of being u three
card monte-man have passed, aud the days
when he rcaped n golden harvest and
Rloried IN his anecdotes and "reminiscences,
aud his knowledge of the proportions and
age N every building aud monument and
statue, and turned his knowledge TO good
account, have also passed away.
The guide is regarded as sort of outlaw
many of the buildings are open to all the
world except him. Tho guide alone is de-
MED adnittauce
AT the Capitol he is restricted and regu-
lated until his gains are small. At the
White House and many of the Departments
he Is denied admission, aud everywhere he
is looked upon with something like suspi-
cion, and yet it Is difficult to SOC why il
should be so. Visitors are always In tho
city, always In need of the services which
he can render, and they arc generally worth
whatever he can get for them.
AT many Of tho public places tho guide
of the present day eau be seen on the look
out for n customer and in the rare cases
when he can find a patron he is generally
polite and well-informed, and shows and
explains many things which might other
wise be unappreclated or misunderstood.
The guide varies in his perquisites from
ffty Cputg In thrpp 1n1lara "a Eoy IN fnru,a-
being the nearer TO the average.
He spends his days waiting by the hour
in the rain or cold carefully aud anxiously
watching for his customers, and then guild
ing them over the same weary route tell
ing the same stories, delivering the same
carefully-studied descriptions and explana-
tions, meeting with the constant rebufTs
ana disappointments and leading life Of
monotony and privation.
1t is stating it mildly to say that in o
majority of cases the guides life is not q
happy one.
