A Story About Lamar.
From the Ne,U York Graphic.

1t would be hard to find a happier man than
Justice Lamar OF the supreme court He is in
his element He was never contented while in
the cabinet. Executive duties were not congo
NAL to him. 1t was not long after giving up his
seat in the Senate that he discovered his mis-
take. However, he seldom complained and did
the best he could. He worked hard and aimed
to school himself in his new place. President
Cleveland thought great deal of the distin-
guished NJ ssisslppian, and he was among the
foremost men in the south, and it was an honor
that no man could refuse-golng into the first
democratic cabinet in twenty-four years. A
friend of Justice Lamar, who had spent an
evening with him this week, remarked to-day:
II shall never forget how worried and per-
picked Secretary Lamar was during the year
1885. Applicants for positions were then com
ing to Washington by the hundreds. Droves Of
these aspiring ones used to haunt the corridors
of the interior department building every
day. They would remain for hours, each
and every one clamoring for an au-
dience with the secretary. They were
all loaded with recommendations. and
many had influential friends to accompany
them to the department They seemed to
imagine that the only thing necessary to do was
TO pick out the office they wanted. Secretary
Lamar had heard the appeals of about twenty
men in one day He was worn out, and in
quired if there were any more men on the out
side who wanted to see him on that day. Being
told that not less than forty were hanging
around the portals of his Office, yearning and
begging to present their claims, he jumped up,
ran his hands through his long, thick hair, and
exclaimed in a fit Of desperation: Open the
doors, and turn EN- in on me;- them, turn 'em
in on me. Let me get through with this bust
ness as soon as possible. The great amount of
routine business was terrible enough on Secre-
tary Lamar, but when il came to satisfying a
horde of Office seekers. he hardly know what to
do. was joking him recently about his ex-
perience that day. Secretary Lamar was any
thing but happy man; Justice Lamar is
another being. He is now in his element, and
being a man Of strong judicial mind, the coun-
try will be satisfied with his services on the
bench before he retires. He is a reading,
thinking man, and will make greatjudge"

The Political Situation in Florida.

An effort is being made in the north to
create the impression that the republicans
Of Florida have an excellent prospect for
carrying that state because SO many of the
white people have left 1t on account of the
epidemic in some Of the Florida towns The
MORNING NEWS stated, several days ago,
that If there were any republicans who ex-
pected their party to carry that state, they
would be disappointed. A great many
white people have left the state temporarily,
but the majority of them are not
democrats. Almost all of them are North
ern and western people, and it is quite safe
to say that they are, as rule, republicans.
The native white people are nearly all
democrats, and very few of them have left
their homes. Outside of the infected places
a very vigorous and enthusiastic demo-
cratic campaign is being conducted.
The colored voters are there, of course,
but good many of them will vote the dem
ocratic ticket. Those of them who are re-
publicans lack organization, and the per-
centage Of them who will cast their ballots
is not very large. The republicans are pre-
tending to conduct canvass in some of the
counties, but they are not meeting with
much encouragement 1t is doubtful if any of
the republican leaders entertain any hope
Of carrying the state. The work they are
doing is not of a kind to bring out large
vote. Their meetings are not largely at
tended, and there is no apparent enthusi-
asm in localities where they are known to
have considerable strength.
Florida is democratic, and will give both
the national and state tickets large demo-
cratic majority. From present indications
it will not be safe for refugees to return be-
fore the middle Of November, and the re-
publicans who are absent, therefore, will
not have an opportunity to vote; but even
if they were to return before the election,
they would not render their party sufficient
assistance to enable it to carry the state.
The democratic leaders at the north need
not feel uneasy about Florida. The demo-
Gratis OF that state are doing their duty, and
they are doing it so well that there isn't the
least danger that the Florida electoral vote
will be cast for Harrison and Morton.

John Roach's Estate.

Everybody remembers what an outcry
the. republican organs made about three
years ago in the late John Roach's behalf,
when Secretary Whitney refused to accept
the Dolphin, vessel for the new navy, for
which the republican administration had
given Mr.. Roach contract 1t was said
that Secretary Whitney bad determined to
ruin Reach because he was a republican,
and that the Dolphin was as good a vessel
as it was possible to build in this or any
other country. Tho tact that Roach had
been paid nearly the whole contract price
was kept in the background Finally
Roach failed. and then soon after died. 1t
was alleged that Secretary Whitney re-
duced him to poverty and caused his death.
The truth generally comes to the surface
sooner or later. The Roach estate is now
about settled, and it appears that Mr..
Roach, at the time of his death, had over
100000. That is a pretty good-sized
fortune for a bankrupt, is it not? His ship
yards at Chester, Pa, were never closed,
and were not included in his assignment.
They are now carried on by company of
which his son is the head.
Mr.. Roach was never a practical ship
builder. He was a mschinist, and a very
shrewd business man. When the govern
ment began to build the new navy his
bids for building the vessels first ordered
were far below those of any other ship
builder, and the contracts were awarded to
him. He knew Mr.. Chandler, the then sec
rotary of the navy, very WELL and appar-
entity he got along with him very satisfac-
torily. 1t is asserted that he did not COM
ply strictly with his contracts, and that he
had numerous allowances made to him. In
that way he made money, Notwithstanding
the fact that the contract prices were very
low.
Mr.. Roach was good deal of a politician.
1t was said that he raised 800, zoe for the
Blaine campaign. He believed in putting
money where it would do the most good.
There were other war vessels to build, and
doubtless he expected to build them if
Blaine were elected. He had had contracts
from the celebrated BOSS" Tweed, and he
knew all about the contract business. He
was a democrat when he had dealings with
Tweed.
When the democratic administration
came into power, Mr.. Roach was required
to comply with his contract That was
more than he bargained for, and he con-
cluded to go out of business. However,
having a fortune of $1,OOo,OoO he could af
ford to retire. but he ought not to have
failed Did he think to create feeling
against the administration by doing sol II
so, he made great mistake.

joys.

The passionate. deep joys Of life
Descend upon our souls like forest fires,
Sweeping all else before them.
There is a flash, a crimson blaze OF glory,
A fierce mad power that claims
All that comes within its radius, until
Bereft OF fuel. Aftery
What theny Why after fame--we know
There's ashes.
And nothing in this world can be so cold,
So hopelessly beyond resurrection,
AS the ashes Of a burned-out joy.
II is the small. tame joys that grow
Thick as spring violets around our feet
That make life tolerable.
And, like that modest flower that hides
Its blue sweet eyes, and would be sought,
SO with these tiny bashful joys Of ours
That wait the plucking.
o dull and blindl vino crush beneath
A laundering, careless tread, such flowers,
Whose bloom and fragrance would outvie
A kingly crown, and grace the poorest life
Until IL were rich, IN truth.

STORY OF A WICKED NEwsBoY.
His Clever Imposition upon a Kind
Hearted Sunday School Teacher.

From the RttsbVrg Dispatch.
You might as well try to catch the proverbial
weasel asleep as to attempt to get the start of a
newsboy. From his rough contact with the
world he soon learns to turn every opportunity
to advantage in bringing in stray nickel and
in this respect often develops business tact
which, if it only included the practice of saving
the nickels thus earned, might place him in a
better position in life.
AS illustrative of this, an Allegheny school
teacher. who, a short time since, urged a news
boy to be present at a special session of the Sun
day school the next Sabbath morning, but the
little fellow made the excuse he couldn't come
on account of selling his papers. The teacher
anxious to have him attend, told hi m that If he
would bring his papers to him he would see that
he did not lose anything them. Sunday
morning his little hopeful appeared with a
bright face, trudging up the steps with his arms
full of papers, and deposited between fifty and
sixty papers at the teachers feet. The gentle
man had no alternative but to take them, and
the newsboy departed to sell more, and is now
telling how he put it on the eye of that
teacher" while the teacher mourns on the
wickedness of the world, and especially news
boys.
