few years ago a soldier picked a melon
and devoured it without paying the pea

went to complain to Massoud Mirza, the
shah’s oldest son. whose ear is always
open to the lowest. After listening to
his plaint he said; “Well, you shall have
justice. I will test this matter to the
core. Bring in the soldier." The gor
mandizing soldier was brought in. “Cut
this man's belly open," he said to the
executioner. “If there is a melon inside,”
he added to the peasant, “you will get
your money; if not, olf goes your head.”

Gounod’s First Composition.
The following story is told about the
beginning of Gounod's career as a musi
cian; Gounod’s parents did not at all
fancy his taking up music. They took
counsel on the subject with the head
master of' the school which their son at
tended, with the following result: “Your
son become a minister? Never, sir,” re
plied the master. “He has a decided
aptitude for Latin and Greek." The next
day Master Charlie was called in M.
Poirson’s study. “Well, sir, they teil
me you’ve been caught writing music.”
“Oh, yes, I want to be a musician.”
“You a musician? Why, that's no pro
fession at all. But here is some paper
and a pen. Write me a new air on the
words from .Joseph, ‘Scarcely merged
from infancy.’ Then we shall see what
you can do,” said the professor, de
lighted at the cleverness of his device.
It was the noon recess. Before the hell
rang to resume studies Gounod was back
with his page black with crochets and
quavers. “What, already!”said the pro
fessor. “Well, sing it." Gounod sat
down to the piano and sang, and the
tears soon began to gather in the head
master’s eyes. He embraced his pupil
and exclaimed; “Ma foil let them say
what they please, you shall study music,”
—Albany Express.
Tlieir Soft Snap Was Short.
“Ha! ha! hut!" laughed a Coachman and
a Professor as they were merrily swing
ing in the breeze in the top of a tree.
“We are having a good time of it and
feel sorry for you miserable fellows who
are compelled to lie huddled together in
a flybook. An Angler fastened us on a
piece of gut, and in trying to make a
J->ng cast the brown hackle at the end
caught in a branch of this tree and it is
there safely imbedded. The Angler
tugged at us for a time and then the line
broke and we are enjoying ourselves.
He cannot reach us here, and our long
days of imprisonment in a fly nook, suc
ceeded by being dragged over the water
and whirled around in tho air, are
passed.”
The Coachman and Professor tliought
they had attained the height of happi
ness, and they enjoyed themselves for a
number of days. Then came rain, and
this was followed by sleet and snow, and
the gut which held them rotted and the
Coachman and Professor dropped to the
ground, where they were trampled in
the mire by the cattle. They no longer
envied their brethren in the tlybook, and
amid longings and regrets they ended a
miserable existence.—New York Herald.

WASHJNGTON LETTER
(From our Regular Correspondent.)
Washington D. C. Jan. 24, 1890.
The wheels of legislation are having a
had time of it these days. Progress un
der general parliamentary law is slow.
4 he machinery runs along smoothly
enough so long as no democrat resists it
workings, but the least obstruction
stops it and then there is a parrot and
monkey time before it gets stalled again.
Of course, this is fun for the Democrats
hut is annoying to the Republicans and
worse than annoying to the speaker. It
is simply making his life a burden.
There have beeen tv> o skirmishes tins
week. In ilie® hist instance Mr. j,Bbmd
star led the trou Je on a decision denying
the right to demand tellers, He appeal
ed and the day was only saved by the
somewhat doubtful victory of laying the
appeal on (he table. Mr. Cannon saved
the day by that motion.
Mr. Holman started the second row.
He took an appeal on the ground that a
bill reported from the Judiciary Commit
tee appropriating money for a peniten
tiary must first be considered in Com
mitt< ejof the whole. jThe House refused
to over-rule the Speaker. Then the ma
chinery moved again.
The new rules are looked for with anx
iety and a strong desire oil both sides to
ha ve some adequate system of procedure,
by a strict party vote the house commit
tee on elections on Wednesday conduced
to report in favor of unseating Jackson
the Demoor tic accredited Representa
tive from West Virginia, and declaring
Smith, the Republican contestant, enti
tled to the member-hip. Of t he seven
teen contested election cases in the h use
this is the fiist one readied, and as is
generally the case the verdict is purely’
a party matter on both sides. Whatever
merit there may’ be in the case each party
votes lor its own man. This fact was so
generally recognized that the committee
on the final hearing of the case, a ter a
short review of the matter, decided that
it would be use.'es to dissect the evidence
taken, as several da vs would be consum
ed in the process, and the members were
well enough acquainted with the facts
ane legal points involved, anyway. There
will, of course, be two reports presented
to the house, a majority and a minority
report. Jackson thus will hold his seat
but a shot*, time in comparison with most
most members who take their seats and
are afterward unsuccessful in contests.
There have been cases in recent years.
when members held their seats into the
H . ct:n <) session and were then only unseat,
ed at the very close. This however never
occurs where the member first recognized
does not belong to the dofhinant power.
Right amusing these powers of contests.
Every few weeks the Past-master Gen
eral gives a personal hearing l o some del
egation from n near by town in the inter
est of a particular candidate for post
master. The railroad fare and the time
consumed are both light, and the making
up of a delegation is as easy as organiz
ing a country surprise party. It is when
two of these delegations lock horns that
the real tug of war begins. For two
mortal hours this week, Mr. Wanamaker
listened to the orators representing four
different candidates for Easton, Mary
land. who were all present. The solemn
looking delegations sat ranged about tho
walls of the room and made havoc of the
water cooler and eyed the Post-Master
General, as the oratory tloyed.
The Supreme court is giving a hearing
this we?k. to a case in which the State
ot North Caronna w . sued by a citizen of
that State to compel the payment of cer
tain special tax bonds issued in 186!). Ini
j airment of contract is set forth. The
case involves the question of the right of
a citizen to sue Ids State, and is sent up
