pleted the special ruling on which he

Upon a white marble block in the
tiled floor of Statuary Hall, in the Cap
itol, the eye of the visitor rests; atten-
ton being drawn to it by the unusual
sight of brass circular plate embedded
in the stone. Upon the brass are the
raised words: "John Quincy Adams,
1S4S. HERE"
After having served his country in
various elective offices, including the
Chief Magistracy, John Quincy Adams
entered the House of Representatives
and there won the greatest and most en-
during fame of his life as the champion
OF the right of petition" AS mem
Der of the House, his desk and chair
were located where now the marble tile
and brazen inscription mark the spot.
He died in the harness, having been
stricken upon this very spot, and carried
thence to the room of the Speaker,
where he died.

cupied by the House of Representatives

south wing of the Capitol where the
Representatives now meet annually. 1t

81 never but once" said the Colonel,
twas in what L call real genuine guam
dary. 1t was during my electioneering
for Congress, at which time l strOlled
about in the woods, so particularly
pestered by politics that 1 forgot my
rife. Any man may forget his rife, yoA
know; but it isn't every man can make
amends for his forgetfulness by his fac
ulties, l guess. 1t CHANGED that / was
strolling along, considerably deep il
congreSsionals; the first thing that tool
my fancy was the snarling of somG
young bears, which proceeded from .
hollow tree; but 1 soon found that i
could not reach the cubs with my hands,
so | went feet foremost, to see if l could
draw them up by the toes. hung on
the top of the hole, straining with all
my might to reach them, until at last
my hands slipped and down l went, more
than twenty feet, to the bottom of that
hole, and there l found myself almost
hipdeepin family of fine young bears.
soon found that might as well undertake
toclimb up the greasiest part of rainbow
as to get back-the hole in the tree be-
ing so large and its sides so smooth and
slippery from the rain.
Now this was a real, genuine, regu-
lar quandary If so be 1 was to shout,
it would have been doubtful whether
they would hear me at the settlement;
and if they did hear me, the story would
ruin my election, for they were of a
quality too cute to vote for a man that
ventured into place that he couldn' t
get himself out of. Well, now, while 1
was calculating whether it was best to
shout for help. or to wait in the hole un-
til after election, 1 heard a kind of
grumbling and growing overhead, and
looking, saw the old bear coming down
stern foremost upon me. My motto is
always go ahead and as soon as she
had lowered herself within my reach,
got tight grip of her tail in my left
hand, and with my little buek-hafted
pen-knife in the other 1 commenced
squirting her forward. I'll be shot if
ever member of Congress rose quicker
in the world than / did! She took me

NTERPRISING PAGES.

Little Fellows in the House and Senate
Who Make Money Collecting and Sell
ing Statesmen's Autographs.
The pages of the Senate and House
at Washington, are again doing thriV-
ing autograph album business. Hun
dreds of albums of all sorts and sizes are,
being prepared for the seasons work
These boys make twenty-five or more
dollars extra every month by getting
the autographs of statesmen. They
have albums of different styles every
day, and go from man to man asking
their autographs ''for my sisters al
bum,' or for LADY who is visiting my
mother" or for some other object.
The statesmen hastily scrawl their
names on the pages open before them,
and the boys sell their albums for a
round sum-say ten dollars for an al
bum containing the autographs of the
members of the House and five dollars
for an album containing those of the
members of the Senate. These albums
are we'll worth the money which the
boys demand for them, too. 1t is inter
esting to study the characteristics of the
men from their chirography. John G.
Carlisle writes careful hand, like that
of a schOol-boy. 1t shows what manner
of man he is, for his character is delib-
erative and careful. Mr.. Holman, of In
diana, is an awkward, ungraceful man,
in external appearance, but his auto
graph is as neat and pretty as woman
could make it. Senator Allison, of
Iowa, always uses violet ink, and signs
his name as plainly and painstakingly
as though each letter were worth several
times its weight in gold, and not
quirlicue must be lost.
Senator Edmunds writes E-s, all
the letters between the initial 'tE' and
the final IS" being condensed into
quivering scrawl; but the capital ''E''
and the final IS" are SO perfectly made
that the on-looker can't help feeling
that Senator Edmunds is personally
careless and Intentionally SO in writing
his name. Senator Davis, of Minnesota,
is so good a writer that one wonders how
he ever became the great lawyer that he
is, because great lawyers are proverbi-
ally bad writer's, from Choate down to
Fuller. Congressman Payson, of Illi-
nois, must have been a writing teacher
some time in his life, for he writes his
name in good Spencerian copy-book
style. There is character in every sig
nature, and the albums are worth buy
ing. >. ID. +.

LAYING FOR INJUNS.
A APennsyIvania Veterans Encounter With
n Dodging Red Man.

a Pennsylvania Veterans Encounter With
Dodging Red Man.
While we were lying at Fort Laramie
in 1865, a Kiowa Indian from Kansas
came on TO act as a Government scout.
He could speak English first rate, and
having lived among the whites for years
he had picked up good many pointers
We soon learned among other things
that he could put up his dukes in
frst-rate style. In fact, when put
against our best man, Joe as the In
dian was named, knocked him out in the
seventh round. We put him on to few
extra dOdges, and then waited for the
fruit to ripen.
Troops were pouring in for the Indian
war, and most of them were old vets
from the Army of the Potomac. Most
of these were in a great hurry to knock
over an Indian, either with fist or bull
let, and the half-dO1en redskins about
the fort had to hustle to save their ba-
con. One day when the sign was right,
we logged Joe out in true Indian style,
gave him his cue as to how he should
act, and sent him down among some
Pennsylvania troops. They spotted bim
for scalp-raiser at once, and were hust-
ling him around, when we appeared and
demanded fair play. The leader of the
hustlers was a big corporal of fistic
fame, and the minute it was proposed to
get up mill between him and the In
dian he jumped clear off the ground and
yelled:
"Whoopee! That hits mel I've been
laying for an Injun! I'll give you my
head if he stands through the first
roundI"
Arrangements were soon made. We
went out where the wagons were park
ed. cleared space, and the principals
were soon ready. Joe was as calm as =
May morning. having little to say, while
the corporal was all ''gab" and excite
ment, and kept calling out:
Watch him, boys, and don't let him
runp'
We had six-ounce boxing gloves, and
it was to be Queensberry rules. When
Joe was ready, everyone but the cor
poral could see that he had ''been
there;' the latter was in such a hurry
s'to punch an Injun" that he overlooked
particulars. He weighed at least thirty
pounds the most, and there was grin
of delight on his face as the call came.
He went in to secure Knockout blow,
but several surprises awaited him. he
could no more hit that Indian than .

Yanks and Johnnies Cease Firing and Ex-

Christmas day, 1864. found the armies
under Meade and Lee occupying the
opposing lines of siege works at Peters
burg, Va. l had ridden over from Gen
eral Warren's headquarters to eat my
holiday dinner with an old comrade,
Will Glider, who afterward became IA
nous as an Arctic traveller. / found
him and General Egan in a bomb-proof
near Fort He'll, on the Jerusalem plank
road, and enjoyed hearty meal amid
the shrek of she'll and loud detonatiOnS
of artillery.
After dinner and a peaceful pipe Ma
jor Glider and paid a visit to the outer
line of pickets, being obliged to crawl
on our hands and knees for two hundred
yards to avoid the bullets which were
constantly whistling over our heads
Finally we reached the picket line, hav-
ing given to brother officer a portion
of the good things we had been discuss
ing. As the Captain finished his dinner
there was a perceptible slackening in
the artillery and musketry fire, until a
deep silence fell upon the long lines Of
trenches.
THE Johnnies have hoisted flag,

a pit near by.

''Well, they say it's Christmas day, and
think we have wasted enough ammuni-

Looking over the edge of our breast
works saw that the enemy's line was
along it's ragged edge were ranged thirty
or forty heads of the Confederate sol
diers, our own line being also alive ow-
ing to the implied truce.
''Say, Yanks," cried tall, sun-bUrned
Southerner, what did yer hev for yeOT
Christmas dinner?"
Turkey, apple-sauce, cake and rails
ins, =" replied one of the men at my ell
bow.
That sounds like old times. didn't
know there were any turkeys nova
days Say, Yanks, hev yer any thing
over?'
With one common impulse half a
dozen men sprang to the top of the en-
bankment, their hands full of good
things to eat
''Come OEerE' shouted corporal who
stood at the elbow of the entrenchment.
''Guess we've gOt enough left to give
some of you Christmas dinner"
Three men IN butternut clambered
over their earthwOrks and met our men
as they advanced over the debatable
ground between the lines. To our sur
prise the Federals came back with a
good supply of tobacco, which was
quickly distributed
Say, Yanks-" said the Confederate
who had opened the conversation, I'VE
uns wish you uns q Merry Christmas"
''Same to- you," we all shouted back,
and there was no more shot or she'll

remainder of that the last Christmas

first round closed his grin had given
place to look of astonishment.
When round second opened we gave
Joe the wink. He made dodge or two,
Tented, swung his right with a smash,
and the corporal uttered yell and went
to earth to snore like a horse for five
minutes before he came to- 1t was a.
clean Knockout as any one ever saw,
and he was man enough to realize it.
When he could keep his feet he reached
out his hand to Joe and said:
Don't set me down for a fool. / am
simply freSh-toO fresh. This has salt.
ed me, however, and if you'll come
around to the tent I'll divide half and
half with you, and then give you a re-
