Col. Curtis Daug inter.

A private bill passed the Senate last
week which has quite q little history
behind 1t. 1t was TO give bedridden
negro woman, so years old, title to If.
teen acres of of the northwestern con-
ner of the Arlington estate. The spot
has been her home for half century.
Before the war her white cottage was
surrounded by tall trees and pleasant
stretches of grassland. and the place
was beautiful as well as homelike.
But five years of camp and soldier law
lessness stripped 1t of trees and fences
and left 1t barren, po@r place at BEST.
The land now hardly feeds her little
family.
When the United States bought Ar
lington at tax sale the old negro woman q
land went with 1t, and she had nothing
tOppove 1t was hers. But 10 seems she
had o moral right that Is stronger than
the lower law of courts and statute books
She was the daughter of G. w. P. Cur.
tbs and the granddaughter of Martha
Washington. Col. 'Gsrtis recognized
her rs his child, and in 1896 gave hel
her freedom, and later gave her thu
land ON which she is dying for a HON,
for herself and her children. At the tim,
she was freed she had daughte
6 years old and baby boy. Soon afse
the lay ing OF the corner stone of tn,
Washington Monument, when the latte
was q man grown, he wanted TO 90 u
Boston with the Hon. Robert G. Win
throp. He went TO Alexandria to &c
his papers, for no man OF color cod.d il
those days travel about unless he ha,
master to answer for him or paper
to show that he owned himself. II
young negro found In the archives a
Alexandria the paper which Col. Cur
tbs bad signed giving his mother he
freedom and that of her daughter Der
tina, 8 years old, and one male infant
IAN Octogenarian Quaker affirmed tina
the male child was the young negro
and he received his credentials.
But the most interesting iact in thi
family history istbat this Cd ,ady who
by act of Congress, is to be allowed u
end her days on her own Bit O. nth, wa

legacy of Col. Custis by saying that th
PIT OF land was hers, although there wa
no deet to show the fact. When Mr.,
Robert E, Lee left Arlington the iu
farewell was spoken as she passed th
old woman's cottage. When, after Il
war, Mrs. Lee visited Arlington, 81
found 1t waste. When nearly bedrid1t
by rheumatism she rode up from 4 le,

TneCeut Puzzle.

The cent problem doubled to the 30th
degree, published in the REPUBLICAN,
has put youthful mathematicians to
work, and some older ones are helping
on the excitement in a lively manner.
Quite number of answers have been
received, but as some of them differ, it
has been thorght best TO publish the
article again, that those who have.been
figuring upon the problem may see
how neAr,y riRht they are.
The following is the article which
has caused probably a thousand youth
full aud aged mathematictans 10 seize
their states and pencils aud go vigor-
ously TO work, even if they should in
crease the OIL and gas bill, by multiply
ing anu adding up great columns OF
figures until late retiring hour:
A cent seems of little value, but il
1t is only doubled few times, 1t grows
to a marvellous sum. A young lady il
Portland caught her father in very
rash promise by a knowledge of thil
fact on her part. She modestly pro
posed that if her father would onl,
give her one cent on one day and doub
the amount on each successive DAY 70
just one month";, she would pledge her
self never to ask of him another cent q
money as long as she lived He glail
accepted the offer, but on the - h da
he became greatly alarmed, lest if
complied with his own acceptance l.
might be obliged TO be declared bant
rupt on his own petition.
But on the Both day the young gil
demanded only the petty little sum
s.. 36S, 709,l2. The astonished merchau
was only TOO happy to cancel the clail
by advancing handsome cash pa,
men5 for his folly in permitting himse
TO be drawn into such an arrangement
Those who have been figuring on Il
problem, can guage their calculation
by the statement above given. He
are the answers of number that ha,
been sent TO the REPUBLICAN office {.
An arithmetical calculator says ii
amount is $lO,737, 4l8 "a Anoth
says the amount is $40, 737, 4l6.23. "V
II. g." says IT is Sl0,737 .418 a
mabel" says it is $40, 1877, 4l9 %. 81
p" a lady, says /: is Sl0,737 AIS. 2
Swancer agrees with three other
and says it is &c. 37, 4l8.2i.
Against all these stands the fact tn;
the young lady on the Both day on
claimed 81, 1868, 70912. There is ey
IDENTIFY day wrong somewhere and
cent wrong somewhere. 1t is not DIN
cult to see how the young lady MAJ
out her claim, but the question is, VII
her calculation correct or did she on
receive one half of what was due her
