key janitOr by the name of Butler,
a short, shambling gated fellow of
purest African blood. born in sIav-
cry. cmancipafed by Lincoln's pro-
Clamati0n, and then At an advanced
age, but with contented heart filling
his humble position as general
cleaner IN that modern, ten-story
beehive
Times were hard, money scarce
and Buffers pay low, but these
woes seemed to rest lightly upon
him, for whether scrubbing floors,
emptving waste baskets or wash
ing windows he was ever singing
or whistl1ng with that melody pc
cuIiar to the cx-slave.
IT was a raw, windy, disagreeab'e
day in early spring-an interrupt
ton to the short taste OF balmy
weather that sometimes comes to
quicken our appreciation Of ma
lures rejuvenation. All who have
lived in our middle ATTITUDES have
distinct remembrance of such days
and their depressing effect on man
kind generally.
Butler was an exception to this
common rule. Heat, cold and
storm neither dampened his spirits
nor dist urbed bis contentment 1t
was therefore with no surprise that,
meeting him in the west corridor,
I found him singing in his usual
placid way:
IF you want to go to Helm when you die,
You must put your trust in de Lord.
Bling curious as to whether the
words had any meaning for him, [
asked: do you trust III the Lord,

said with chuckle
"But is your trust SO great that
you think you will go to Heaven
when you die?' l said.
ooh, yes; dare's no mistake
about dat" came the ready and
well-assured answer.
"Where do you think Heaven
is?"
"Day tell us it am somewhat up
beyond de stars. I don't jest know
whar, but reckon I'll sho find it all
right"
"But how are you going to get
there?"

"But do you think, Butler, you'll
go straight to Heaven when you
die?"

like de angels, | reckon I'll fly
around for spell and wait for de
Judgment And you know, massa,

Judgment day come, we'll all go up

enough we'll go right into Helm,

"And when is the judgment day
coming, Butler?"
Il can't jest tell dat, massa," he
replied with a puzzled look, "but

"a thousand years?'

So we tacltlY considered the dis
cussion ended and proceeded about
our respective duties.
An hour afterward, while con-
with a client, Buffers ia
miliar voice came family to our
ear, humming the same refrain, for
be was great at singing one tune
hours at time. 4 moment we
paused to listen, and glancing
through the window saw the ne
gro's woolly pate and shining face
bobbing around outside, looking as
happy and contented as ever, not
outstanding the fact that bis
foothold was only about two feet
of a stone ledge that ran around
the building on our floor
"BIess me" said my client, eff
that old fellow isn't Washing the
windows, and the air SO full of dust
you can hardly see. I wonder how
be hangs on out there in such a
gale"
We resumed our conversation,
but it was of short duration, for
the darkey's song gave place to an
agonized shrek that brought US
to our feet and to the window,
where our worst fears met with
confirmation.
The window ledge was vacant
and on the pavement, seventy odd
feet below, lay a motionless some
thing, while the rapidly increasing
crowd told only too plainly that
the omnivorous western wind had
added another to it's victims.
AS quickly as possible I des-
cended by the elevator and, reach
ing the ground floor, fastened to
the scene, forcing my way through
the crowd
There on the cold, cruel pave
ment lay all that remained of poor
Bu-ler-a broken, bleeding mass,
Just bearing the semblance of
humanity. A doctor had been
summoned, and was making an
examination just as [ arrived. Be
ing acquainted with me, he mo-
toned for assistance in turning
the poor fellow, who lay upon his
face.
With reluctance, for l dislike
the sight of blood, I lent a hand,
fully expecting to find the face
crushed beyond recognition; but
greatly to my relief it was not
even marred, the force of the fall
having evidently been sustained
by some other portion of the
body.
AS [ said, it was not even mar
red, but how wonderfully was it
transformed! The eyes were wide
open, but with no fixed and
stony stare as might be expected
from such a horrible death; rather
did they appear to behold a scene
of Joy and bliss. The mouth was
fixed in a smile half of happiness
and half of wonderment, while the
expression Of the entire face seem
ed to denote a "joy that passeth
understanding" intermixed with
peace and happiness truly beatific.
Then did his recent words rush
in upon me with startling force
and distinctness: "We're sho'
gwine be a thousand times-yes,
a million times happier den dan
now" and 81 'spect I'll be JUS
like de angels and fly right away
on de path I'll find marked out. .

black face, mute with the silence
of death, vet prOclaiming to me In

10 the Edftor: Noticing, under the
above caption communicative from
your Olympus correspondent. am
prompted to draw your attention. as well
as that Of your readers, to the provisions
Of section ; o6 article OF the state con-
stitution. whfch reads Is foalows:
Sec. 8. The legislature shall provide
by law for an enumeration Of the tnhabi-
tants of tho state in the year 1896. and
every ten years thereafter: and at the
first session after such enumeration
land also after each enumeration made
by the authority Of the United States.
the Legislature shall apportion and dis
trict anew the members Of the senate
to the number Of inhabitants. excluding
Indians not taxed. soldiers. sailors and
officers Of the United States army and
navy In active service"
The I'VE following. words. embraced IN
brackets and underlined as above. ''and
also after each enumeration are omitted
In this section. a. given IN '.Barton's
Hand Book" which omission is error. and
has no doubt misled editors and journal
lists Ii treating this question.
1t Will be observed that the language
used In this section OF article of
the constitution Is mandatory. and that
the legislature when In session
must provide for taking I CEN
slrs OF the Inhabitants of the state this
current year of 1895. to be followed by
a special session to apportion the menu
bers Of the senate and house of repre-
sentatives. according to the number OF
inhabitants.
One effect Of this viii be that the terms
Of all senators expire with the term
Of the present legislature. and that at
the election to be had In November,
1885, an entire. new senate viii be elected
OneIhah of the senator's to be thus
elected will be for the term Of two years
and one-half for the term OF four years.
AT the special session 1t will be the
duty OF the legislature to divide the state
into two separate congressional districts.

II tlte message OF Gov. McGraw to the
state legislature Is strictly followed by
that body there viii be many measures
enacted into law for the good Of the Whole
staze.-Ednonds Tyre.
Gov. McGraw's message recommends re-
dactiou IN expenditures and cuts IN all
stste expenses wherever possible. The
people wiz agree with him. Up to the
present time uhe state has been running
on q nrSt-class basis on q fifthrelass IN
come.-East Cialiam Record
Gov. McGraw's message is an able doc
ument and contains many recommends
tons to the Legislature which II adopted
will result in much benefit to the state.
The governor urges the completion OF the
new capitol and calls attention to the fact
that tho debt Incurred by the building
wiz not be charge against the public
revenues raised by taxation. but will be
met by the sales of public lands donated
by congress for that purpose. The state
has received immense acreages OF land
from tho general government for the
benefit Of the capitol and state schools.
and the legislature should not be carried
away by the crying need for economy.
The governor clearly shows that the new
capitol would not have to be paid for
out Of funds raised by taxation. and the
same argument applies In favor Of build
ings for state schools. Issue bonds
against the state lands. by ell means.
and give US a respectable capitol and
good normal school buildings gdale

The gold of the treasury continues to

has been drawn from the treasury-Sl4S.-
100000 more than the sum necessary to
meet the deficiency Of the last fiscal year.

enpes, revenues that without this addi-
tional burden are insufficient to meet the
public expenditures But the bonds are
now selling on the market for less than
the purchasing syndicate paid for them.
As prices stand. the syndicate has lost
on the transaction. Can the secretary
market another lot OF bonds issued I'M
der the law Of 1875? Probably, but he
may not obtain the prices that were paid
for the two lots already added to the
