Facts and Figures. We have read with Interest the reply of Captain MeMeekin to our article, published in our issue of the 17th inst., and we add with no little surprise. By way of preface to what we shall ve to say, we refer to his former article, in order that we may under stand properly the issue of the pres ent controversy. lie alleges that the State Is governed by ani oligarchy of lawy ers, that this fact is too plain to be denied, and that this is the pith of the ppmnplaint urged by the present farm ers' movement. By an oligarchy we understand a governmnent In wvhich the stupretmo power is vested in a few pcr sons. In case of (the present, alleged oligarchy the flew persons vested with the power of governnent are the law yers of the State. Under the call of Mr. Tillman for a conventlot of the farmers of the State, which was the origin of the present mnovtment, we think that the issue that the diate was ruled by an oligarchy was squarely made in substnance if not in exactly the words in which otir friend inatkes it. This leads its to iniqtir'e if the allegation is sIpported by the facts of' the cac, and it' the satstics of the legislative department of the gov einment will corr'oborate tho.-e facts. From the Senite journaitul of 1882 out of thirty-thrce Senators who atiswered to their names at the fiest. toll call, leaavintg only% two tiem bers absetit, there were eighteen law ye's and fit"een 'aminers.

Now we thtitnk that onet fr'ind wvill in all legislat ivc' bodies lie chairman-ti ship~ of the cmm ittees are' gjvenCi to those wvho have hiatd (lie longest. expe rice andtt ser'vice in the body, or in other wotrds the older' miembers of (lie 11ouse8 shall have pr'eferecnce. An ini vestigation of (lie 'above commtbtees will bear' us out int statng that the Legislaturie of out' State is no excep tioni to the i'ulc, and that the chairmen of all comittees arc given as fat' as practicable to those whto havb had l'ong exlperienice in (lie body. Thei apploinit meaznt of chal'meni is simply an empty hionunr amid cnn have nio effect in thIe '4 t'eah work of' the comimittee. The miajotity of the comtmittee will alway.s treat stress upon the faes that the udiciary committee iscomposod excli lively of lawyers, and we judge from Wrhat he says that he contends that it As the most important committee of the House. Upon thiswe take Issue with An. We think and correctly contend that in all legislative bodies the ways ind means committee is the most Im portant. That comnmittee has the ex Dlusive right of recoimending appro piiationis, fixing levies, supplies, etc., %nd these are Cihe questions which mostly cffect the general public. A recommendation from that cominmittee is generally life or death to a bill, sim ply from the fact that it requires long calculations and investigations whilch a majority of the House are unwilling to make. Not so with the judiciary. Tihe judiciary committee from its nature should be composed of lawyers just as the agricultural committee should be composed of farmers. From the nature of the professions, a lawyer could betteriserve on the judiciary and a farmer on the agriculture than com pose these committees of both classes. In the last Legislature the judiciary was composed exclusively of lawyers' and on the other hand the agricultdrIal committee was composed efitirely of farmers. Upon the ways and meads committee there were seven farmers and six lawyers-a majority of one for the farmers. On privileges and elec tions the farmers had nine out of thir teen-a majority of four. The following committees were com posed exclusively of farmers: Agri culture, Roads, Bridges and Ferries, Internal inproveineits, Penitelntiary, and Comnerce and Manufactures. And not to go further Into separate conmittees, out of the t %venty-six, the fariners had a majority oi all the work ing committees except five, viz., Judi ciary, 1'ailraads, hincorporatiolls,. Edu catioll aid lules. Now do the fore going facts and figures bear out the assertion that the State is ruled by an oligarcly of lawyers-a flew persons? We think not. Wo hiave shown that in the Scniate tihe lawyers are in the linority, and that the chairmen of a umajority of the House comnittees are nlot hawyers. To further disprove his illegation we ci say that of seven .-tate oflicers, not inclading the Presi dent of tle Seunate, there is only one lawyer.-the Atiorney-Geieral who 11m111 the na1lture of the ofice miust be a lawyer. Where, then,, is the oligarchy? As to otur friend's suggestion that all interpretions of the law by the coiirts should be referred to the Legis lature, we must admit that we did not un iderstand himl, in his first article, but we think that the explanation in his -econd admits of grave objectionus. lie would have the law s0 plain that by slimply referring to the Statutes oiie coulI inor11l hiIQ1f as to the law. andit tihe r'esult wouild be that we woulId have euongh of butsiniess to keep a Lm'gislaitur'e sittinug all thle time, aind there wouald be iio end 0of making books. Undcer wvhat seems to us a miodlifiedl stotemienit of the case of course the pers'onlf of (lie Legisim tire coulId have no effect. Finally', we can only say that Cap tain McMeek in adm its thiat we have a good( goveirinmeiit, whietheir weO have) an oligarchy or niot, anmd we leave it to an intelligent public to decide wheother lhe hias proved his aiegatin that, we have an oligarchy.

STORY 0OF A REOLt1SE. In oa 0( the mountainous counties of "Wnu there lived for many years a hormit whom Uo one had any knowl ed His abode was a cave, - in a wild re glon; and ho never appeared among his fellow-boings except to obtain sueh no cesanries as his hermit life required. He would never, while living, reveal his namo, nonplaco of birth, nor the causeo which had lod him to seclude him self from the world. One day a couple of travelers, passing thriugh that region, visited the cave, and found the hermit not only dead, but in a stato of decompositiOn. The body, after an inquest, was buried, and somo garments and a few trifles, which belonged to the deceased, woro doposited at the nearest magis trato's offico, with a full statement of the facets. In a pocket of one of those garments was found a manuscript, supposed to have been written by the deceased, and whi-ch, is it tells its own story, we here tranerilbo without a word of comment: I was born in a yoar I shall not re cord, in a place I shall not reveal, and under a name I shall not disclose. For many long years I have 'been daxtd to the world, and my desire now is that the waves of oblivion shall roll over me and leave ine as if I had never been. And yet there are some facts in my life which I wish to set forth. WihyP Well, I doubt if I could tell anyone why. I only know that the impulse is on me to write thom down, perhaps to do-. stroy the record when done. Myyouth passed pleasantly. I had kind, indulgont, anl pious par ento, who sought to make my life a hap py one. I was sont to school at an early age, anid kept there till I had acquired a good English education. Then, at my own request, I became an underelcrk in the lna-ge dry-goods os tablishment of a prosperous mcrchant. idence of my employer, and was often inivited to his dwelling. At lirst this mnade me very happy. and as I looked forward then, the fu ture seemed very' brighlt. Butt, alas, aind alas! this wns the beginnino- of a sorrow which will never end whiTe I ro maiin on earth. My'employer had a daughter-a kind, gentle. lovel y belig-who, to my en raiptured vision, seemed an angel' just come down from Parase. From the moment I first beheld her my whole soul wecnt out to hter, and fromu that time forth I could conceive of no en joymnent in wichel she had no part. As I am confessing this to myself, or to a world that, will never know me, I will say that I loved her to a degree of wvorship which made her a somethino above and boypond mny reach; an3I though naturally easy and fluent in con versation, I coiuld not specak to her wvith out changing color and choking, an d ap~pearmng more like an idiot than a man of sense. This made me avoid meeting her wheon alone, or pressing forward to take my chance with those who wore seeking her at every opportunity, perhaps be cause of a li king~ for herself, perhaps be. cause of a liking for tihe money she would inherit. I do not think site ever suspected me of having any regard for her beyond that of her being the daughter of mny employer, whom I was an duty bound to treat with res pectful deferenee, and certain I am that site had no conception of the holy love and worship I soeretly gave her. As I hhvo said, I avoided as mueh as possible Oomuing in coantact with her would have gone a mile out of my way rather tihan speak to her, and yet hier presenee, in amy company of .which I formed a part, was a glowing joy, and her absence a depressing void. Among her num'n'ous suitors was a fellow-clherk, who htold ~tposition of con fhdeneo undoy o.tr om oyer similar to my own, and wvho, whean we were alon. together, was always praising her sweet ness anda beauty, and proclaiming his owan undying lovo. "Oh, fanoy the golden moment when [ shall be able to clasp hier dear little hand in mine, and call lier by the en Ei.ring name of wife!" lie would some Limes exelahn, or use words of similar rxport; and when I would as oftena turn isidie, to conceal the feelings that would lalmost overpower me, he would mis *ke my actioni for a dislike on the sub oect. "Ah," he one day said to me, "I per >olve my darling finds no favor in your might; and site knows you do not like Ier; but for my sake, I trust you will tot let her see that you absolutely hate hie sight of her person, and the mention if her namne." 'This to mae, whose eess of love for he object in question was eonsuming no like an inward firel "'Man;" cried 1, turning upon him, vith tho.glar-ing fury of a "-id boast,m 'if you loved that being witL .no tenth >f the passion that is destroying me, on would out your wagging tongue rom your gfapmag mouth ore you would ierm it so flippant a mention of so sacred name." He'started, and stared at me, while I ralked indignantly away. Did hie underatand my words? Did Lo comprehend them In their breadth' nd depth? Only so far, perh aps, as a shallow ramn and a superficial feeling eould each, fezr he wvaa onenti and- I a From. that noment, howeVet, he )eased to speak of her in my presence, md I, feeling that she was lost to me lor ever, only secretly worshipped her bron Afar. So luatters driftei on for a time, and becamo miserable over my solitary brooding; and while I wished myself far enough- from the scone of a rival's triuniph, I shrank from the thought of going where I should never look upon my Idol again. One ni t, having forgotten some thing at the store, I procured the key from the porter and entered the build in . Io my suiprise, I soon perceived the glimmer of a light in the counting. room; and on approaching it cautiously, thinking there might be a burglar at work, I was still more surprised to see the safe-door open, and my rival seated on the floor, apparently counting a large roll of bank-notes. "Well, this looks like singular night worki" said I. With a startled cry, he fairly leaped to his foot, lotting the money fall around him, and turned towards me one of the mod; gnaauy races I over 1booL AStor looking straight in my face for a few moments, during which he shook and trembled, and his very lips quiver ed, he stammered out: "Wh-wh-why, is it you? Wha-wha what do you want?" "Su ppso in turn I ask you what you are doing with that open- safe and money-at this untimely hour?" "Oh, that?" he answetd' glaUoi*g dowft at the sohttered bank-nots, and evidently recowvering himself with an effort. "Hi, hal" he affected to laugh. "Do you know, my dear fellow, I took you for a burglar" "Instead ofyourselA ehP" ".rue fact Is, you see, my dear friend "Supposo you leave the 'dear friend' outP" Iinterrupted. "Well, then," he coolly went on, "the fact is that, after going home, the idea came into my head that I had made a mistake in my money report; and as the governor, you know (meaning our employer) is very particular about trifles, and might discover it before I should get a chance to make a oorreo tion, I thought I had better attend to it at once." 'And doubtless you found an error, which you wore about to set righti" I said, with a sneer which he seemed not to notice. "Oh, yes, I think there was art error; but I am not quito sure, because of your interruption, I shall have to go all over the money again. And now that I have ameounted for my presence here, suppose you do the same," he added, givin me a searching look. "Well, I came in to get--" Here it occurred to me that I, an honest man, was being interrogated by one who was perhaps a thief, and I suddenly broke off and added: "That is my business." "Ohol" he exclaimed with a peculiar look and leer. "And I came in by the porter's key," I sharply continued. I Ahal yes, yes. Just so!" "And by what key did you come in?" "1 suppose you are not ignorant of the fact that there is a private koyP" he answered. "Which belongs to the governor." "And which his daughter could get for me." "Having every confidence in your in tegrity. " "At least she ought to have in her fu Mn~mfwrsh~p~ed~ i ferly dr<ve Icontrolled melaswell as I could, andl meraely salid: "I hope you will find your money af fair all correct, and not have to take away or add anything!1" "T1hank you! I opo I shall!" ho blandly answered. I turned away abruptly to seek what I came for and leave the building. .As I was about to depart, In no on.. viable frame of mind, he called out: "I suppose you will report what you have discovered, and as much to my in jury as possibleP" b""Poal you are now lidg; m wlthatnkyou to un~erstand that I am too much of a gentleman to be a tale. bearer." "All right, then, and good-night!" he said. lleing too angry to respond I hurried out aimt locked the door without saying another word. I roturned the key to the p)ortor; but I did not mention to him, noer to anyone else, the fact of my haing met my fol low-clerk In the building, unmder circum stances so calculated to excite mispicion of his being there for an a evil purpoise. in this I am now certain I <tid wrong but I was young then, without experi ence in tho evil ways of mnankind, atrict ly honest and honorable miyself, and possessedl too much pridlo to dlemna myself to the low condition of a tale bearer. 1 reasoned, too, that If my rival had origimally designed to rob his emaployer, he would not do it after what hamd oo eurred, and that I really lad no right to injure his reputation merely be(cautse he had beeni chosen from all the world by the fair beIng who wvas all the world to me. It was something like a month after this event, that I wa one day fearfully startled and shocked at suddenly finding myself under arrest for stealing money from my employer.. Notwithistandinig that I knew myself to be entirely innocent, the very fact that I should -be susp~eced( of such a ne farious transaction nearly crushed me with shame. Judge of my unbounded amasement and horror, thien, on being assuredi that marked money had been found in my trunk, that the amount of a thlousand pounds had been abstracted within the [ast few weeks, that my follow-clerk and rival had suspected me ever since the night (so he swore) lhe had *eon me Doming out of the store, and that the porter had already given evidence of mny having borrowed his key to enter the building at an unseasonable hour. I comi >rehiended at once that this was m most icndlish plot of mly rival to ggt rme out of the way and shield his own lishonosty, for lie alone had robbed his )inployr andfprofited by it. My statement of the fact that I had mnterod the premises for another pur )oso was not believed; and when I add 'd tihe whole truth of what I had seen here, I was simplly regarded as a cold ulooded rascal, who was trying to in -olvoe an innocent young man in my wn ruiio.po All my provieus life ofrbity went br nothimg, or only stood out, whito-1 obed, to ma~ko my later acts appear nlore (lark and~ danmnn.

Well, was, asti have sald; convict. ed, and I served out my time; but be. fore I left that plae of misery and do. gradation, I had the satisfaction of see ing my hated rival there, in the convict garb, justly brought theie by his evil deeds. After my release I leatrnod that his angel wife, my worshipped love, had died of a broken heart. ''l'at was the end of life for me. All since then has boon only the dull, dreary round of a mechanical Oxistence, with no hopes no fears, no passions, nothing but the tired waiting boro till the Master shall call me hence. I am as one dead-I am as one burled -and the world and all that live in the world are dead to me. Why do I still existP Because it would be very sinful to lift my hand against .the life the Master gave me. Lot Him work His will, how and when He will, and lot me humbly bow before the awful mystery that I cannot understand. He, who has a purpose in all things, placed me here for a purpose, afflicted me for a purpose, and will work out a purpose through my suflforings; but what that purpose was, or is, or is to be, Is known to Him alone. I onl walt Yor the end, and resign "God's will be- don on earth as In heaven." The Great Pyramid. Mr. J. B. Bailey writes to the St. James Gazette as follows, with reference to the desirability of exploring the ,reat pyramid: "Now that Great lBritan is, dominant at Cairo, would it not be a good plan to clear away the sand and rubbish front the 8'ase of the great pyra mid right down to its rocky foundation and try to discover those vast corridors, halls and tomplos, containing priceless curiosities and treasures with which tra dition in all ages has credited the groat pyramidP The wonderful building, of such exquisite workmanship, was ereet ed many years before any of the other pyramids, which are only humble imi tations,built by another nation, and also for other purposes; for neither King Cheops nor anybody else was ever inter red beneath this mighty mass of stone. The smaller pyramids also exhibit neither the nicety of proportion nor the exactness of measurement, both of which characterize the first pyranid. From internal evidence it seems to have beein built about the year 2170 B. C.; a short time before the birth of Abraham, more than four thousand years ago. "Tlis-one of the seven wonders of the world in the days of anolent Greece --i the only one of them all still in ex istence. The base of this building covers more than thirteen square acres of ground. Its four sides face exactly north, south, east and west. It is situ bted in the geographical center of the land surface of the globe. It was origi nally 485 feet high, and each of its sides measures 702 feet. It is computed to contain 6,000,000 tons of hewn stone, beautifully fitted together with a more film of cement. And these immense blocks of stone must have been brought from quarries five nundred miles distant from the site of the building. The pres ent well known king and queen cham bers, with the various passa es, might tronomor royal of Scotland some years since closely and laboriously examined all that is at present known of' the in terior of this enormous building.He states that measurements in the chambers ete., show the exact length of the cubit of the Bible--namely, twenty-five inches.

After this the woman deccidied not to die and recover ed. Biut her husband wvas taken sick and soon went thes way of all flesh.
