RAY, TIE PUzZLER.
The Author OF the weli-Known Arith'
metfc n Pauper in New Mexico.

A gentleman visiting his old home in
Washington from his rancho in New
Mexico, was entertaining company OF
friends recently with stories of life on
the frontier, and in the, conversation
asked them, "Do you remember Rays
Arithmetic?" Every man of them did,
and several rubbed themselves in men,
ory of vigorous effort that had once
been made to introduce an understand
ing of one os the hard problems of that
book into the ciphers.
"Well, boys, you'll be sorry to hear
that the author of that famous puzzle
book is now a brokendown old man,
whom we are harboring in our camp.
/ told him pleasantly, when he strayed
in asking food and shelter, that there
had been a time in my schoolboy life
when If had met him and known him
to be the author of all those problems
that were causing me such untold woe,
l should probably have murdered him.
He answered me pleasantly, and at my
invitation took up life with US. His
story is a sad though not unusual one.
He was once man of means, derived
from the sale Of his books, but went to
California to double his wealth, and
there lost ALL Then he drifted about
the West, first here, then there. FL
nally he came to our rancho, which is
near Hillsboro, n. NJ. lie was well
core to us in that rough region. He
was perfectly destitute, but We took
him very gladly. Mr.. Ray has had
what we had to eat. We have paid
him for what work he could do. He
made our evenings pleasant. He is one
of the most highly cultured men l have
ever met. He knows everything, al
most. His knowledge Of the details OF
the mining and land laws has been OF
great service to us. He is completely
busted When came on here l
made the best arrangement | could for
him during my absence.

Carlisle and the Negro Girl.
boston H erald.l

An incident occurred the other even
ing in one of the three-cent cars which
go from the Capitol to the White House
which attracted no attention at the
time, but which, had it occurred in the
days before the war, would have been
widely commented upon, says Wash
ington letter. The car was full of gentle
men and ladies, and Speaker Carlisle
was sitting beside me, looking very
grave and probably thinking himself a
great fool for having accepted such q
trying position as Speaker of this Con-
gress, when colored girl entered the
car. There was no seat for her and she
grasped the strap, looking vainly around
the car for seat. There was none to be
seen, and no one rose to give her one
At length the Speaker, coming out o1
his meditation, saw her. He half rose
to give her his place, when he changed
his mind and, crowding the rest of us
toward the end of the car, made room
for her beside himself, and motioned
her to sit down. She did so. There
was no ostentation about it, and the
Speaker relapsed into his moody medi
tations as soon as it was over.

Mr.. Talmadge on Politics.


The name of Rev. Dewitt G. Tai
mage. having been mentioned as an
available delegate to the Democratic
National Convention, as sort of "off.
sett" to Mr.. Beecher on the Republican
side, the first named gentleman was ap.
preached yesterday and asked if he
would accept the position. Mr.. Talmage
said most emphatically that he would
not. He had no fancy for the strife and
contention of convention, whether
political or religious. When asked as
to the political outlook he remarked
that every thing was very much befog-
ged, and he thought that the very en-
thusiasm of the adherents of the promi-
nent candidates would result in theil
defeat, and some hitherto unknown
man will carry off the prize. He was
opposed to the adoption off pronounced
free trade plank in the Democratic plat.
form. Thomas A. Hendricks is Mr.
Talmage's first choice for the Demo.
cratic nomination.

About Circuit Judges.
[From the Putnam County Sentinel

Our neighbor the Gazette, in its issue
of last week, under the above heading,
paws the following tribute to our fellow
citizen, Judge ]. j. Moor, and of the
fact that his friends are urging his
claims for nomination as one of the
Judges i'm the new district.
The Judicial Amendment adopted at
the election last fall, creating a sep
arate and independent Court between
the Common Pleas and Superior Courts,
may, by the action of the people them
selves, be rendered more or less effect
ual in accomplishing the object for
which it was created.
If the gentlemen who are nominated
and elected as Judges of the Circuit
Court are, as they should be, men of
high standing i'm the profession, good
judicial minds, undoubted integrity,
careful in drawing their conclusions,
and not permitting their sympathies
to obscure their Judgment, their decis-
ions will be most satisfactory and con-
elusive in most cases as are now the de-
cisions of the Supreme Court. 1t stands
the people in hand, therefore, for their
own sakes to see that such men are Sc
lected.
The nineteen counties composing this
circuit as provided for in the bill now
pending, give Democratic majority of
between 1000 and 5000. So that the
responsibility for the choice will rest
upon the Democracy; but the effect of
the selection, whether judicious or in
judicious, will be felt by men of all par
ties. 1t is not out of place, then, for a
Republican newspaper to say some
thing with reference to one of our citi-
zens who is being generally opoken of
as one who possesses the qualifications
to worthily fill the position of Circuit
Judge. Judge J. J. Moore, ofthis place,
is being quite generally spoken of for
one of the Circuit Judgeships, and we
are frank to say thatno selection which
could be made would give greater sat
isfaction to the Bar of this Circuit than
he. His. social qualities as well as
those other requisites for the position
which he possesses in high degree,
have made the Bar his friends, and the
only regret which we would feel for his
advancement, would be the loss of one
of the best Common Pleas Judges in the
State.

WHAT CoNvICTs READ.
Interesting Facts Cleaned at the
States Prison Library.

A visit to the Penitentiary by CO.
lumbus Dispatch reporter, resulted in
eliciting some interesting information
concerning the mental life of the pris-
oners, the demand there is for reading
matter, the character of the books and
papers most sought after, and the ex-
tent of their self education. The library
shelves contain something over 1000
volumes. These represent, with more
or less completeness, all the leading de-
partments of literature; history, biogra-
ply, travel, theology, law, science,
medicine, poetry and fiction. These
books are given out weekly on written
orders from the convicts or guards.
Travels, fiction and humor are in most
demand, though some twenty or twen-
ty-five of the best educated do consider
able reading in law, medicine and
mathematics. Tennyson, Bryant and
Whittier are the poets most frequently
called for, while of the novelists those
of the sensational school, such as Wilke
Collins and Augusta Evans, are in most
general favor. But books of all books,
the books of which they have the larg-
est number of copies, yet which are nev-
er on the shelves, are Uncle Tom Cab
in, Kit Carson, Davy Crockett, and
Ten Nights in a Bar Room. The Belle
O'Becket's Lane, by our General John
Beatty, is also quite a popular book
among the more intelligent readers.
AS to books in foreign languages, the
library contains large and choice Sc
lection of German and several standard
French and italian Works. For the
latter two there is scarcely call, while
there are some thirty convicts who read
the German books exclusively.
But it must not be concluded that all
of the prisoners read solely for amuse-
ment. The librarian reports a marked
increase during the past three years in
the demand for primers, copy-books,
spoilers and readers. Several, totally
unable to read or write when they en-
tered the institution, whose letters home
were written by the librarian, are now
reading in the higher readers, and writ
ing their own letters. The textbooks
on bookkeeping are all in constant use.
If this is all accomplished during leisure
hours, and by their own unaided efforts,
what might not be accomplished by a
systematic education?
In addition to all this is the newspa-
per and periodical department. Two
thousand newspapers are handled every
week. They are distributed Tuesdays,
Wednesdays and Thursdays, and it il
said that the quiet that reigns during
those evenings, as they devour the news
is almost painful. The leading periodi'
Gals are Harper's, the Century, Leslie''
Monthly and Sunday Magazine, which
are neatly bound in cloth every three
months at the State Bindery. At least
half of these papers and magazines art
taken on subscription by the convicti
themselves. The letters also pas
through the library. These, counting
both those sent and those received
amount to about seven hundred and
sixty week.

port to the full committee Represent
ative Townsend's bill granting bounty
lands to soldiers of the late war. The

than one year, to 120 acres, and those
who served not less than two years, to
16O acres. In the event of the death of
such person during service or after
honorable discharge, the patent shall

children, If there be any, and If there
be none, to the father, and if no father

1t is around our lain fireside" that
our deepest affections cluster. We may
envy the owner of marble halls but
deep down in our hearts is echoed the
sentiment, "no place like home" The
world never truly sympathizes with us.
1t may laugh at us, seorn us, or per-
haps family smile approval at well
merited success, but it is reserved for
the fireside at home to be the sole source
of sympathy and encouragement. Out
in the would we must wear mask, for
the public has no liking forsadness and
discouragement; but once within the
safety of our own walls each of
us dares to be true to self. The
sweetest memories througout our lives
are of the dear ones at home, and far
more poverty stricken than those lack
ing in worldly goods are the men and
women who have never known the
riches of home and family, who can
not in after life recall the scenes and in
cidents that blessed and frightened
childhood's days when the peaceful
home life shut out all knowledge of the
great world beyond.
