lndited under the influence of Mr..
Campbell. the great Encyclopedia of
Universal Knowledge, to whom all
hearts are known and all events fore
known, ] feel grateful for the mama
which descended from above. and con
formed itself to every palate.
The falrest productions of human
wit and deception, after a few perusals,
like gathered flowers, withec in our
hands and lose their fragrance, but the
unfading plants of truth" become, as
we are accustomed to them, still more
beautiful their bloom appears to be
daily heightened fresh fragrance is
emitted and new sweets extracted from
them.
Not wishing to trespass too freely
upon the JOURNAL, or the time AZ d at
tentlon of its readers, | will now dem
onstrate the philosophy of what have
written.
On Thursday, March 81, three days
before the end of the session, Messrs.
Leake and Rowe went to the Comp.
troller's Office before the hour for the
meeting of the House. After being
seated Mr.. Rowe said:
"Well, old man, Ireckon the Normal
School bill is dead. We cannot move
it an inch, and what are we to say to
the people at home Is there any
thing you can do to help US ~
They were both very low in spirit
over the bill. aud Capt. McCardell said
he was Extremely sorry but had a
plan in his mind which he had never
yet mentioned. He said
Yes. boys, the bill is dead. and no.
thing any of its friends can do will
save it. They'-meaning the leaders
of both parties never intended it to
pass. But you have one chance left.
AS soon as the General Appropriate
ton bill appears on your desks in
printed form let me know"
At this Mr.. Rowe remarked the
bill is on our desks now, and will be
reported to day."
Then let us go up tothe House, said
Mr.. McCardell.
Remember, dear readers. so far Mr..
Campbell had not appeared. He knew
absolutely nothing of the scheme at
all. When they got to the seats of the
Aliegany delegation only Mr.. Brandler
was there. Mr.. Campbell was not to be
seen anywhere.
Capt. McCardell seated himself at
Mr.. Rowe's desk. opened the bill and
when he reached the paragraph under
the heading of "Schools" he asked for
sheet of paper. 1t was handed to
him and he drew the following amend
ment, which is to be found on page
1855 Of the Journal of the House:
