Every Republican will say amen to that. It should bekepta "rollof honor." The government made promises to tbe men who saved the Republic over which Pret-ident Cleveland presides, and it should live up to its promises. Had it n<>t been for these same "pauper pension­ ers," as some of Mr. Cleveland's advisers have termed them, there would to day be no United States and no President Cleveland in tbe White House at Wash­ ington.--later Ocean. Milwaukee, Wis ,-At tlte National Grand Army headquarters it is Btated that there has been no thought of changing tbe tbe place of holding tbe next annual encampment aod that all rumors about the likelihood of Indian­ apolis being abandoned are without foundation. Adjutant General Gray says that there are about 1,000 men who con­ stitute the encampment proper and who meet for the purpose of legislating for the order. Whatever the city of Indian­ apolis may or may not do about enter­ taining the crowds expected to attend • ill cut no figure, and tbe thronging of visitors to encampment cities is entirely an incidental matter, concerning only the excursionist and the city that bene­ fits by their presence. Adjutant General Gray said that the council of adminis­ tration had not considered the matter of selecting some city other than Indian- polis, th ougb reports to the effect that some such action would probably be taken have been sent all over the country. who does not have the true welfare of the order at heart, even if the office be only of outside guard, and I want to say right here that the only office I am aspiring to now, after I lay down the authority that you were instrumental in conferring upon me, is this--I hope tbat my grand old post will elect me to the position of outside guard. Your department officers have un- doubtly worked hard during the last year, but in examining the records of this department yesterday I found, not­ withstanding all your efforts, that you are several hundred comrades short. In 1892, in June, you had 30,962. Your death rate was 573. Yon had in 1890 63,230 pensioners in the department of Illinois, but now you have of comrades, snldiere and marines of the late war eligible to membership in the G. A. R , in this department 76, 229. Your member­ ship at the close of last term, Dec. 31, 1892, was 30,962--far less than half the number in the State. Now, what you want to do is to get those old veterans who do not belong to the order into the ranks and to do it just as quickly as posible, for I sincerely believe there never was a time in the history of our order when the veterans of the late war should stand close to­ gether and their hearts beat as one than at the present time, fApnlanse] If. when you leave this hall and return to your posto, you are imbued with the same spirit of fraternity, loyality and charity that you have had up to this time and you go to work and assist the officers whom you elect to hold the re­ sponsible positions in this department for the ensuing year, you should have no fear of the result. esaeral Welswrt's Advies. Gen. A. G. Weissert Commander-in- Chief of the National Grand Army of tbe Republic, addressed the Illinois partmeDt encampment which was cently held at Springfield, 111., as follows: Comrades you are assembled here for the purpose of transacting business for the management of this great depart­ ment, the oldest department in tbe Grand Army of the Republic [cheers], for the ensuing year. 1 know you will bear with me while I make a few practical re­ marks. 1 ask what can we do to revive the interests in the G. A. R; or, in other words, what is the cause of the abate­ ment of interest which is lacking in some of the posts? Now, comrades, if I should say any thing tbat apparently hits some of you all right. The worst matter we have to contend with in tbe G. A. R. re­ lates to the post officers your comrades au ually elect to fill the various positions in the posts. In many instances the comrades whom you select fail to give proper attention to their duties. Per­ haps they do not visit their posts half a dozen times during the entire year, and, what is still worse, after they have been honored by you and wear on their breast the post officer's jewel, they forget all about the G. A. B. My advice is to put no commander In charge of your poet Aa Ino'dsa' of ths War. Just after the battle of Brandy station Va., in June, 1863, about one hundred and thirty confederate officers, captured during the flgbt, were pent under a strong guard to the union prison at Johnson's Island, in Lake Erie, oppositeSandusky, Ohio. Among the party, which compris­ ed several generals and officers of lower rank, was a colonel who had been a mem­ ber of Gen. Garnet's staff. During the journey from Washington to the prison the utmost good feeling prevailed. Stories were exchanged by the prisoners and their Yankee captors, singing was indulged in, and everything possible for the comfort of their prison­ ers was done by "Lincoln's Blue Coats " Just after the train left Pittsburg it was compelled to stop on account of a slight accident to tbe locomotive. A few min­ utes before it again started up the cap­ tain in charge of the escort in passing through the cars, was stopped by the colonel above referred to who said: "S *y, cap, do you see that house over thereon tbe hill?" pointing to a neat cottage on some high ground about half a mile away. Looking out of the window thecaptain replied: "Yes, what about it? " "Well, cap, I've got a wife and two children in that house." "What!" yelled the yankee in aston­ ishment. "Then what under creation are you doing with a gray uniform on?" "Well, my people were Southerners, and 1 was working in Georgia when tbe war broke out. And I'll tell you « hat it is, cap, it's a mean man that won't fight for the side that gives him his bvqad and butter, ain't it?" "Yes, I guess so," replied tbe captain good-naturedly. "Well, look here, cap. Can't you seed up there and let my people know I'm here?" "I don't know. I'll try it." He passed quickly out of the train, and calling an orderly, sent him off to tbe house with instructions to see the man's wife and inform her that her husband was on the train and desired to see her. The orderly started on a brisk run, but before be got half way a warning toot of the whistle cnlled him back. After tbe train had started the captain sought out the colonel and informed him of his failure to communicate with bis family. With tears in his eyes tbesputh- erner tbanked him for his kindness. The party reached the prison in due 'time, and tbe captain and the colonel, now fast friends, bade each other fare­ well. A short time after this the confed­ erate was exchanged and rejoined hin ifiment at Petersburg. |Six months after tb» war bad ended the union captain w*s it Pittsburg. Taking a carriage he drove out to the cottage on the bill, thinking to renew his war­ time friendship. He found the family of bis confederate friend in mourning. The colonel had been killed in the first charge on Petersburg.--Detroit Free Press. CHOLERINE IN PENNSYLVANIA. Swickley.

Two gentlemen stood in front of a Broadway store discussing the weather. A January thaw was in progress, th« • walks were sloppy, and the atmosphere 1 was raw. "Give me the good old fashioned win-: ter of my boyhood," observed the man with a silk tile. "I like snow and plenty of it. None of your miserable open winters, with their mud and dust and rain." "Well," remarked the other, "yon ought to be satisfied with what we've had this winter. There has been enough snow to please almost anybody, I should think." "We can't get too much to please me. Let it snow, I say"---- At that moment a dull, grating noise was heard above, and the next instant an avalanche of snow and water came plumping down squai ly upon the head of the man with the silk tile. It com­ pletely covered him, smashing his newly ironed hat and splashing into his necSi with the force of a douche from the noz­ zle of a fire engine--almost dashing him to the earth. The other man got a pret­ ty good share of it, and as he wiped the wet snow out of his ears turned to his unfortunate companion: "There's your confounded old fash- ioned winter. I hope you've had enough of it!" "I ain't saying a word, old man," sad­ ly remarked the other, trying to shake Ids demoralized hat into some sort of prtMKMiuu»ie uuape.--Now York - Prises For Essajri on RablM. , The French Association for the Ad­ vancement of Science has received from an anonymous donor the sum of 600 francs to be given to two prizes (of 400 francs and 200 francs) to the authors of the best memoirs containing an investi­ gation, according to local documents, of the frequency of rabies and the prophy­ lactic measures in operation in a depart­ ment of France, la Seine excepted, or in a region (two or three departments) of France cr of Algeria. The statistical figures must relate to 10 years at least and comprise the results of 1892. Manu­ scripts to be sent to the secretary in Paris before March 81, 1898.

A Historic Edifice Demolished^ •, , The old castle of St. Cloud, where'tne wife of the Emperor Maximilian «rent and begged on her knees to Napoleon III not to leave her husband in Mexico to the mercy of his enemies, and where 60 many other historic events took place prior to its being accidentally destroyed by fire by the Germans during the war of 1870, has completely disappeared from the face of the earth. The ragged walls, the deserted terraces and the melancholy looking statues, which have remained up to now in the midst of the lovely se qnestered gardens and wooded heights on the banks of the Seine, are being rap­ idly carted away. Their place will be taken by orna­ mental beds of flowers, for the construc­ tion of which a sum of 45,000 francs has been voted by the town council.

A writer in The Engineering Magazine warns us all to determine before going to the World's fair whether we are phys­ ically able to go. In short, consult your physician and get the benefit of a special examination. The advice is well given, for there's nothing more exhausting to body and mind than a week or two of frantic, ill considered sightseeing. It's better not to see the fair and live than to see it and die. An Abundance of Finders and Toes. There was born on New Year's morn­ ing to Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Norton, of Wyandotte county, Kan., a baby. Each hand of this baby is provided with six fingers and each foot has six toes. All the fingers and toes are fully developed and perfect, so that it is impossible to tell which are the extra fingers and toes.-- City l etter. The Incnbatlon of Crinolines. If there is one human being that I de­ spise more rhan another, it is a man mil­ liner. Lakes' dress is a mystery to me, and my idn>as in regard to it are some­ what vague. But as newspapers are raising an outcry against crinolines 1 will venture to explain their incubation. They were due to the desire in an ab­ normal fit of common sense of women to have a rational costume. Either thequeen orone of the princesses wore, or was said to wear, at Baimora3 thick boots coming high up the leg. AH loyal women insisted upon following this example and wearing "Balmoral boots." The ladies had no objection to : show these boots, and, still being under the influence of common sense, objected to their dresses trailing on the ground when they were out walking. The next step was to have a scarlet petticoat over the flannel and other underclothes. This scarlet petticoat came about half way down the calf, and over it was worn a skirt which fell to the feet when in­ doors, but which when out walking was drawn up by a cord in festoons, coming a little above the scarlet petticoat. To this costume were added stockings of some bright color and a blouse with wide sleeves and a waistband, with over it a zouave sort of jacket. What I con­ tend is that the crinoline was not, until exaggeration set in, a cage, bat merely one detail in a pretty and practical cos­ tume.--London Truth.

In his loving epistles to Irma "Yours as ever loving Joe" contracted to deliver an almost in­ conceivable number of these tokens of affection. He defaulted, and the jury figured out the damages as follows: One carload kisses (not delivered) .*1,000 One million kisses (not delivered)....M.... 780 One lot--3}^ bushels--kisses (not deliv­ ered) KS Several bushels kisses (not delivered).....

The culpability of the modern fatter r in allowing his daughters to marry with* out any investigation as to the standing or character of the young man in the case received a striking illustration last week. Miss Florence Gushing was a pretty young lady, who graduated from the Rockland high school and afterward had an office in this city, where she did : typewriting and copying. On Nov. 15 she was married at the residence of her father, Brainard Gushing, to one F. W. Williams, who represented that he was an agent of the Thompson-Houston Elec­ tric company. Be took his bride to Chi cago, where, after running a bill of $500 at the Richelieu and selling his wife's jewels, he calmly deserted her, even car- rying off her silver purse of change. Mr. Gushing has taken the heartbroken girl ' home, and an investigation--all too late ^ --has disclosed the fact that Williams' statements as to his business suid stand- : ' ing were false.--Boston Courier. T _ : . ,• . : Trying to Clear Up m War Bracii •' *lf '4". Colonel A. C. Hamlin of Bangor, Ili., is anxious to find a member of the Sev­ enty-fifth Pennsylvania who was on picket south of the Dowdal tavern, at " Chaacellorsville, Vs., May 2, 1863, and find out how the balance of the regiment escaped after Matsdorf was captured. He thinks by the Hazel Grove field. Colonel Hamlin is earnestly laboring to secure justice to the Eleventh corps at : Chancellorsville, and to protest against the treatment of the German soldiers by the war department and congress and some officers of the Army of the Poto­ mac. He asserts that a large part of the stampede described at Chancellorsville was of the Third and Twelfth cor thinks he can prove it. •Mi His Last Jourmyt ' Among the passengers on the express train No. 87, from Salzburg to Ghent, was a dead dog, which had a saloon car­ riage all to itself.
