After many holocausts l wrote u small
piece, which, on reading it over carefully,
concluded to spare, since it seemed to
me better than anything l had yet written
1t might not be. good-though 1 hoped it
was-but, as l saw worse things in print
every day, resolved to hay e it printed-if
l could. 1t was an apostrophe to several
ideal qualities, Wealth, Power, Ambition,
Truth, which for their shortcomings l SEN

which | reprieved in the last stanZs, telling

as l could, gave it a Latin title. Non
Omnis Moriar," made a clean copy of it, and
sent it to little periodical, a weekly,
think, which l had somewhere stumbled
across. 1t was called The Rover, and was
edited by Seba Smith, whose name l re-
membered from having seen it in one sof my
school books attached to a copy of verses,
The Mother Perishing in a Snow storm.
A week passed, two weeks passed, and,
as the poem did not appear, l lost a half
day in order to learn it's fate. | found the
office of the Rover, which was in, or near,
what is now called Newspaper Row." in
Nassau Street, or Fulton Street, and found
Mr.. Smith in the editorial room, (which was
on the second floor, and was part of the
composing room, was the custom then.
He was what considered an elderly man
somewhat over fifty I imagine-was tall, or
seemed so as he sat at his desk writing, had
pleasant face, a kind, bright eye and a
sweet, gentle voice. mentioned my name,
and said had sent poem to him to see
if he would print it. l had made a bet that
he wouldn't, and if I had won the bet, as
l expected, was going to claim it. He
smiled rather incredulously, I thought, as
if he doubted the bet (Which was a genuine
ohe), and said that if had wanted to win
l should have wagered the other way. The
poem not only would be printed, but was
printed. And, opening his desk, he handed
me copy of The Rover. 1 was surprised
and told him so. Then l thanked him,
and, hurrying from the room .and down the
stairs, stopped when reached the sidewalk
to see how l looked in print Many years
have passed since that day--nigh half a
century, fancy-but l have never forgot

A Governments Pup for a Constituent.

Apropos of the distribution of seeds
from the Department of Agriculture,
which was under discussion in the
House on Wednesday, Representative
Tucker of Virginia told story. He
said that down in Appomattox county
there lived an old farmer to whom he
had on several occasions sent packages
of seeds and shipments of fish from the
Fish Commission, with which to stock
the creeks and ponds on his place. One
court day, when the Representative was
in town, his farmer friend approached
and in confidential way said: 'Tuck,
you sent me seeds and fish two or three
times. and l am very much obi ged to
you for them, but there is one other
thing 1 wish you would do if you car"
"What's that?' asked the Representa-
tive.
"Well, Iwant thoroughbred hound
pup for my kennel, and thought may
be you folks up at Washington could
send it down to me just as well as not
if 1 only asked for it.''
''Why, certainly" responded Tue ker
'sIt will give me great pleasure to send
the pup to you. and as soon as l get
back to Washington you may look out
for him." The Representative said
that, SO far as he could see, there was
no reason why the government should
not go into the business of supplying
the constituents of Congressman with
dogs to improve their breeds, as we'll as
seeds to improve their crops and fish to
add to their food supply. 49," he con-
tinued, IL hunted up a thoroughbred
hound pup, prepaid the express charges,
and sent him down. And you can bet
that constituent is solid for Tucker"

The fate of the tariff bill is likely to
be settled this week, when the vote is
taken on the sugar schedule. If this
schedule is adopted in it's present form
the bill will pass without material alter
alton. If it is radically changed the
bill will in all probability be defeated.
The fight will come on a motion by
Senator Hill to put sugar on the free list
as in the House bill. 1t is expected
that all the Republicans will support the
motion, and the three Populists also.
But one more vote will then be needed
to adopt the motion, and there is co.,
siderable expectation that that vote will
be furnished by Senator Irby of South
Carolina. Notwithstanding their con-
fident talk the finance committee, who
have charge of the bill, are looking for
ward to this test with great deal OF
apprehension. They are by no means
SO certain OF getting the requisite votes
to adopt the existing schedule as they
profess to be. If sugar is put on the
free list the Louisiana Senators are
practically certain to vote against the
bill because of the change, and enoug i
other Democratic Senators will vote
against it on other grounds to defeat
1t. Three or four days will in all prob
ability see the fate of the tariff settled
The public will be glad of it,

Roswell Pettibone Flower rebuking
the Republicans of the legislature for
partisanship is spectacle for gods and
men. Flower is the man who appointed
Maynard to the Court of Appeals as a
reward for stealing election returns,
which changed Republican Senate to a
Democratic Senate. And when May
nard came before the people for endorse
ment he was buried beneath 100000
votes. And had Flower been a candidate
the probability is that he would have
been buried with him. Flower from
the day that he took his seat in the
governors chair has been nothing but
the tool Of Hill and Tammany. His
latest and most disgusting piece of truck
ling was his veto of the bill to forbid
the display of foreign flags on public
buildings.

The large majority against the teach
ings of Prof. Henry Preserved Smith
shows that the governing authorities Of
the Presbyterian church are still over
whelmingly opposed to the higher criti-
cism and not disposed to have any of it
done under its auspices. 1t is clearly
within their right to say what doctrines
shall be preached as Presbyterian doc
trines and it is in no sense persecution to
exercise that right. The man who
wants to preach different doctrines is
not debarred from SO doing He is simp-
~ debarred from representing that they
are sanctioned by the Presbyterian
