He WAS A GUIDE.
But There Was Slight Misunderstard-

ing on Eoth Sides.
| Everybody who has ever been at che
| capitol knows all about the capitol guides
There arc quite a number Of them, and
they all know the story of the capitol
from top to bottom. Very pleasant and
agreeable do they mako themselves to Wis
itors who wish To know something of the
lawmaking edificc. Not long ago one OF
the best guides had curious experience.
A lady dressed in what might have been
half mourning, accompanied by n girl,
small for her age, entered the capitol, and
the gcntleinanly guide saw them looking
1T some pictures and heard tho girl ask
her mother something about it, informa-
ton the lady was unable to furnish. The
guide, in "A very polite manner, volunteer
ed the Information, and tho lady, having
- taste for ;.rt and finding the guide well
informed on such subjects, conyersca for
some time in a general way about pictures
to be seen in Washington and elsewhere
Finally he said:
There arc other pictures, and. in fact
mary things of interest about the capitol
which will take great pleasure in show
ing yua," on agreeable offer which the
lady accepted with some hesitation. There
was not o feature in the capitol that was
not shown and explained The lady, who
was far away from husband, with daugh-
ter who would scarcely know what was
up, but whose presence meant safety
from gossip, was. rs she thought, enjoying
a Irritation with statesman, while the
guide, regarding the lady as some wealthy
stranger, was expecting n handsome re-
ward. They had nearly finished the build
ing, and Were looking out over the Bo-
tanical gardens, the lady inquiring what
1t was.
"The Botanical gardens" answered the
guide. IF you will return tomorrow,
will be pleased to show you through
them
This was carrying the Irritation too far,
thought the lady, and thanking the guide
IN the most winning manner for the cour-
tesy he had extended an entire stranger
the lady babe him good afternoon and de-
parted. 1t all came about in such a man.
ner and so friendly had been their CONVEX
sation that the guide could not bring him
self to say that be was doing all this for
hire; that it was his regular business, but
stood there smiling, bereft Of speech He
watched the lady and girl disappear and
remarked, Done out of half days fees,
by George" 1t was some time after that
the lady, again coming to Washington,
heard OF the capitol guides and learned
her mistake, but she never tried to look
up that particular guide to pay for that
half day devoted to capitol exploration.

that the driver selected by the judges

The subject of this sketch, although
Dung in years, being born at Liberty,

IRE State, which gave young Lamson a
great chance for education.
Four years ago, the late W. p O'Brion
stablished Enterprise Farm at Augusta,
I'd appointed Lamson superintendent.
Under Lamson's management the farm

HALF WlTTED NED.
The Bear That he Shot Turned Out to BE
Three of Them.

| Three of Them.
Five of us in the lato fall of 1852 were
| in the Marmora district of Ontario on a
! deer hunt. One of that number was a
| half witted youth named Ned, who looked
after cur log camp.
Ono night we were later than usual In
| returning to the 'shanty." On arriving
it was found empty. The half wittcd boy
evidently getting frightened, had gone in
search of us. A repeating rifle was also
missing, so we presumed he had taken it
for protection. We started to get supper,
when close by rang out the sharp crack OF
n rifle, in Il few seconds another crack,
and after n short pause third one. We
graspcd our guns and prepared to proceed
toward the firing when we heard some
one running along the path toward us.
Another moment, and Ned rushed into the
hut threw down his gun and rolled on the
floor. His eyes were starting from his
head, and lie shook with excitement.
twas long time before we could gath
er what he intended to say, but we made
ont, after lot Of questioning, that he
feared something had happened to us and
had gone out to look Us up. Ho had
walked down the path in the opposite di-
rection to that which we had come in
until opposite the old ore pit, where
he had seen a bear. This orc pit was well
known to Us. 1t had been started, and
after cxcavating hole about tho size of
the foundation Of good sized house wa
ter was encountered, and it was aban-
donCd. There was only one pathway in
which it was possible to ascend and de-
sccnd from the pit. At tho top of this
pathway log covered the way, and it was
necessary to climb over this in getting up
or down.
Ned told us that the bear just had its
head and paws on tho log and was coming
out when he, only a few feet away, aimed
right between its eyes and fired The bear
dropped, and he scarcely pumped the she'll
out when he heard il scrambling up again.
When its head appeared again over the
log, he smashed it once more right between
the crcs, and once nero it tumbled down
into the pit This time nc said he went
nearer, intending to look into the pit,
when up came the bear again, and this
TING ho fired point blank into its head,
and once moro the bear rolled down.
Tho mental strain then became too
much for him, and be put out for the
shanty.
We all heard Lis story, and notwith-
standing our jokes and expressions Of un-
belief he stuck toit. Next morning, short
~ after daybreak We were passing the old
pit when one Of our party, jocuar in the
extreme, suggested that we look into it
and SEQ If Ncd's bear was still there
We all looked over the log, and We saw
three full sized bears lying dead in u heap,
each one shot fairly between the eyes.-Il-

On yesterday Messrs. J. ". Ad- .ams, Chris. Ledwidge and Ed. G..

Adams becomes editor-in-chief, hr. Chris. Ledwidge business mana 9eryand Mr. Ed c. Newton city editor of that paper. Under the new manag ment the Press will be changed from a free-silver to 'sound-money" pa- per, and will advocate international bimetallism and oppose the free and unlimited coinage of silver at 16 to l without tfe cooperation of other nations.
 Hr. Adams connection with the Press will in no manner interfere with the GRAPHIC, for he will divide his time between Little Rock and Pine Blufi and dictate the pol. icy of the GRAPHIC as heretofore. On the other hand, by this connec- ton the DAILY GRAPHIC will be the better prepared to give it's readers an efficient news-seryice, and in the course of a short while will again furnish it's readers with telegraph ic report giving the important events each day.
 During Mr. Adams absence bis brother. Mr. Quincy Adams, will be in absolute control of the paper, and will give prompt attention to all business.
 Mr. w. E. Allen will remain in charge of the job printing rooms and Mr. E. H. Hummer of the local columns as heretofore.
 The GRAPHIC will be kept up to the usual standard and will endeavor in the future as in tho past to give perfect satisfaction to it's friends and customers in all departments.
