Senator Arthur p. German, of Mary
land, was one of Capt Bassett's boys"
He was appointed page in the senate
by Stephen A. Douglas, when he was
but thirteen years old. During the four
teen years he remained in the service of
the senate he held every subordinate
position except that of scrgeant-at-arms,
finally attaining to the dignity of post
master. In 1866 he was appointed col
lector of internal revenue in Maryland,
and subsequently represented his coun-
ty in both houses of the state lcgisla-
ture. When he was forty-two years of
age he returned, rs senator from Mary
land, to the halls where in his boyhood
he had served as page.
David S. Barry, the brilliant Wash
ington correspondent of the New York
Sun, is another graduate from the
ranks of senate pages. He was not n
novice when he entered that high
school," having served MS page in the
lower house of the Michigan legislature
for three years, when, by request of
Senator Christiancy, he was admitted
to the United States senate in the same
capacity.
While in the senate his spare moments
were devoted to the diligcnt study of
stcnography and he was thereby en-
abled to step into the higher grade of
private secretary, in which capacity he
was associated with Senator's Matt Car
penter, \. w. Aldrich and @. ID. Congor.
Ills next promotion was to Il depart
ment clerlsship, when he rotated
from the war department to the census
office and finally to the post Office de-
partment. Tho next step upward was
as assistant to L. C. Crawford in news
paper work and as correspondent to
the Chicago Times, the Detroit papers
and several other western newspapers.
In 1887 he filled the position of assist

and almost as agrccably boyish-in the
year of grace 1879 as it was in 1860.
But this comment is mere common
place-in Buffalo, ut least. Every one
knows that much about Mr.. Bissell,
has said-tiresomc commonplaces. Here

He has called one of the two students

will no doubt recall the incident and
say it was prophetic.
