of work which Is required Of congress-
man by his constituents, no man knows
until he has been in Washington during
a session Of congress-" said Congress
man Harries this morning. 81 never
wrote so many letters in all my life, and
nearly every letter represents work in
the executive departments; for many
matters inquired about by peo-
pie necessitate personal inquiry on
the part or congressman before the let
tiers can be answered"
what would you thing of a state
agent. appointed and paid for out of the
state treasury"
THAT idea has been considered for
number of years. l understand that
Ohio and couple of other states have
employed such agents and that their
services are valuable. A state agent,
residing in Washington, can look after
department business for the people, and
thereby relieve the congressman of a
great deal of their incidental labor, thus
enabling them to give more time and at
tention to legislative business. AS
things now are, every member of con-
gress has so much business of private
nature to attend to for his constituents
that his time for the consideration of
Legislative matters must necessarily be
eXceedinly limited"

SAYS. BEN TO JIM.

Says Ben to Jim, for goodness sake,
Throw off your mask and show your hand
See what fuss the people make,
I'd like to know just where you stand.
OF course. may not want to run
Especially if you're in the race
But i'm regular sun of q gun
If can catch you off your base.
I feel little kind of queer
To think my clerk should get so big,
And really l have cause to fear,
Unless you quit up goes my jig.
1t doesn't really seem quite right
That you should so hedge up my way,
Besides, there is no chance to fight
Until yon say you're in TO stay.
A second term would please the boys,
Although sacrifice to me;
But if can increase their joys
bow consent to the decree.
But don't you see the mischief is,
Nobody seems to know your plan
Do you or do you not mean "biz?'
If you don't lead think can.
OF course must admit the fact
That you don't say single word;
You either show consummate tact,
Or else my running IS absurd.
They seem to think do quite well,
And commend myself do;
But, hang it all. 1 cannot tell,
Why all this clamoring for you.
Iwish knew what's in your mind,
And il you really mean to rum
Now, don't you think you're quite unkindf
My goodness! tell me what I've donei
You have the best place in my gift;
thought il was an honor due;
But when / give you such lift
1t should help me as we'll as you.
1 know can't point to a word.
Your acts are all exceeding fair;
But goodness everybodys heard
Your name upon the throbbing air.
II you won't let me know your wish,
Then must simply wait your will;
But while meekly hold my dish
1t looks as though our dish would fill.

THE RUDDER.

OF what are you thinking, my little lad, vita
the honest eyes Of blue.
As you watch the vessels that slowly glide
Ter the level ocean foor2
Beautiful, graceful silent as dreams, they
pass away from our view,
And down the slope of they world they 20,
TO seek some far-of shore.
They seemed TO be scattered abroad by
chance, 10 move at the breezes' will
Aimlessly wanderingahither and yon, and
melting in distance gray;
But each one moves to a purpose firm, and
the winds their sails that fill
Like faithful servants speed them all on
their appointed way.
For each has a rudder. my little lad, with a
stanch man at the wheel,
And the rlidder Is never left to itself but
the will of the man is there:
There is never moment day or night that
the vessel does not feel
The force OF the purpose that shapes her
course and the helsman s watchful cara.
Some day you will launch your ship. my boy,
on LIES wide. treacherous sea
Be sure your rudder is wrought Of strength
to stand the stress of the gale
And your hand Oh the wheel don't let II
finch. whatever the tumuIt be-
For the will of man with the help of God,
shall conquer aud prevail

tory Work.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-There was a
meeting of the full house committee on
rules this morning at the rooms of
Speaker Crisp. in the Metropolitan
hotel. The majority members had
drafted a code of rules, and this
was submitted to the minority. The
rules will probably be reported to
the house during the afternoon.
They are substantially the rules of the
Fiftieth congress with three changes.
One change is a return to the rule in
vogue prior to the Forty-ninth congress,
under which legislation Oh apprOpria-
interest Of the retrenchment of eXpen-
ditures. Another change limits the
time for the call of states for the
Introduction of bills on suspension
Monday" to one hour. the object
being to check filibustering by
consuming suspension day in the intro
duction of bills. The third change
gives to report from the committee on
rules fixing the time for consideration
and voting upon any measure the par
liamentary status now accorded to a
motion to suspend the rules, viz: That
only one motion to adjourn can be made
UoioIo bLt QutStlOH is put III Tie dctIOu
to suspend the rules and pass bills.
The purpose of this amendment is to
check dilatory motions. A short report
Will accompany the presentation of the
rules to the house. A minority report
will be made by the Republican MEM
Ders, urging the adoption of the rules
of the last congress.
Catchings, of Mississippi, reported the
new code of rules in the house and gave
notice that he will ask its consideration

ONE ON GOULD.
The Fin ancier Is 10th to Admit
UndeniabIe Facts.

When Jay Gould is fined for refusing
to serve on jury there is general re-
joicing that the majesty of the law is
finally triumphant, even against very
rich man. There was rejoicing last
summer when Mr.. Gould was assessed
s275 for this offense, but it was prema-
ture. The court reporters noted the
other day that this fine had been
scratched off the books, writes
correspondent of the Brook
lyn Times, and inquiry developed
the fact that Mr.. Gould had made affi-
davit to the effect that he was sick at
the time he was honored with sus-
mons to sit on the jury. and was, on
that account, unable to avail himself of
the pleasures; he would beg, therefore,
to offer this to the court as a sufficient
reason for his Noncompliance with the
summons, and would the court kindly
remit the line of S275 in accordance with
the statute governing such cases, and the
affiant would ever pray, etc. This is sup
posed to be the first time that Mr.. Gould
ever admitted that he was sick, and
wicked Wall street man declares that at
the very time the big speculator was
drawn on the jury a report reached 1.-The
street" that he was ill uptown; but it
Was -SOOu luulSHdutly Qcfllcu ny MT.
Gould, his doctor and all the family.
This incident suggests late story told
of the little wizard, and illustrates how
careful he is to thwart the bears in Wall
street IN thier attempts to break prices
by spreading false reports or his Illness.
Mr.. Gould, according to this storyteller,
was somewhere cruising On vessel
when storm came up and an un-
usually rough sea gave him viole Mt
attack of NAL de mer. Mr. Gould was
hanging over the rail, acknowledging at
the same time his own weakness and
the mightlness Of Neptune, when fel-
low voyager accosted him:
Sorry, Mr.. Gould, to see you so ILL.,"
Mr.. Gould, without changing his posi-
ton over the rail. and not forgetting his
duty when there is any rumor out
affecting his health, replied:
Its no such thing, sir; Pm per
fectly well--excuse me (here a tribute
to Neptune). haven't been SO we'll
excuse me (here another)-in a long
time, as Pm this winter excuse me!''
(Still another, and more of the same.)
So with Gould ashore. No matter
how ill he is, the eXigencies of trade re-
quire him to deny it, and he always
does. Hence the surprise in financial
and medical circles the other day when
ne appeared at the court house and
made affidavit that he had actually been
physically indisposed.

Do not say ''cut in half" but cut in
