Of the twenty-one clerks who loat their lives in the disaster at Fords theatre, eleven were veterans of the Union army. To get so many veterans out of the way at one time will mitigate the grief of the howlers over "pauper pensioners." United States claim attorneys are "sharks',' after they have succeeded io getting a pension for one of the pension- ahriekers or their relatives. Before they were right nice fellows and were wished a Godspeed in their efforts in behalf of the "deserving" one. The other fellows con­ strue the pension law to suit the occa­ sion twenty-eight years after. Comrades did any of you expect to live to see the vanquished on top ? This comrade seems to be a clear thinker, and asks some pertinent ques­ tions : Editor National Tribune: There are a great many things I don't know. One thing I would like to know is: 1st. Did not the government say to its soldiers et ^niiatment, " if you are disabled you shall be pensioned for that disability ?" 2d. After the government formulating its own laws, having them administered by its own officers, every twist, quibble, and turn of said law satisfied in evidence of its claimants until the whole line of otlicials, from examining surgeon to commissioner, pronounce the claim just under the law, pray tell me is not this a judgment against the government and could not a claimant obtain judg­ ment in any United States court every quarter in the year, if the original law were repealed ? JOHN H.SCOTT, Co. A, 80th'Ohio and U. S. Signal Corps, Marionville, Mo. But Oae, Thing to Do During the siege of Yicksburg, says Life, an important artillery position had been "assigned to a battery commanded by Maj. Schwartz, a German, attached to Gen. Grant's command. Late in the day, while Grant was in his tent receiving dispatches from the front, a German or­ derly made his appearance, earnestly in­ quiring for "Zhineral Grant." After much parley his hearers, being convinced that his business with the general was important, admitted him to the latter's tent, where he made the announcement "Schwartz's bathery ish took!" " Well," said the General, calmly, "did you spike the guns ?" "What!" shrieked,"the little jfierman, "schpike dem guns? Dem new guns? Vy, it would echpile 'em!" " Well, what did yon do?" said Grant, impatiently. ; • * "Vy, we took 'em pack again, py tain!" , • 1 " I " The Portland Oregonian, which has daily spasms over the pension question, is having a very severe fit over the pat- sage by the Oregon Legislature of a bill appropriating 115,000 for the establish­ ment of a State Soldier's Home. It de­ nounces this as the establishment of " a pauper aristocracy;" that the proper place for an indigent veteran is with the other paupers in the county poorhouses, etc. This is a fine way to educate the rising generation into being public-spir­ ited citizens ready to do their duty td the country in an emergency--to make them understand that if they; receive any physical injury in that service a grateful country will make no distinction between tbem and paupers who have become so by vice or indolencp. What an ungrate­ ful viper the editor of the Oregonian must be to ating with iasults the men who made it possible lor him to have and enjoy all that he has and enjoys." 'A special dispatch from Trimble, Tenn., a couple of weeks ago, gives the following story: John Railey, who lives about four miles from this place, is one of the happiest mein in the County. The cause of his exuberant joy was the re- ceiptyesterday by express off685 not one cent of which he ever expected to receive. In 1864 a squad of the 4th Pa.Cav., who were on a scout endeavoring to learn something of the movements of Gen. Forrest, camped at a spring near Mr. Railey's residence. The following morn­ ing before departing they rode up to Railey's, all but one, who was walking. The man on foot went to the barn and led out the finest horse there. Railey ex­ postulated in vain. "Let that horse loose, I wouldn't take f250 for that horse, you low-down Yankee thief," he angrily exclaimed. 44 Don't worry your­ self so, pardner," mildly replied the sold­ ier. "You see, my horse died last night, and I am bonnd to have another. If I were to depend on my feet to get me out of this country, Forrest would get me sure." And he took the horse. At that time Railey was well off, but now he is poor. Yesterday be received a letter signed Frank K". "Walldran, which con­ tained $685, the purchase value of the horse and the accumulated interest. Mr. Walldran lives in Reading Pa., and though for a long time himself the victim of adversity, is now well-to-do, and has at lastrfound himself able to pay for the horse he took so many years ago." Reasonable Living at the Fair. While so many people are hesitating, over a visit to the World's fair on ac­ count of the expense, the testimony of a tolerably experienced and sagacious man of this city may help some to make np their minds. He went with his wife and spent something over a week at the fair, paying out about $80 besides railway fare. The hotel where they had expected to stop was so recently finished that the plaster was still damp, and they wisely declined to sleep there. They had no trouble in getting suitable quarters, pay­ ing $2 .50 a day for a large double cham­ ber with a bathroom attached. They took their meals at a restaurant and found the prices about the same as at the most expensive of the restaurants in this city. For 50 cents one could get a fair Uteul. Their miuuay uietu they took at the fair grounds, where the prices were higher, but not extortionate. In the opinion of this visitor there is no reason why any one should fail to get comfort­ able accommodations as easily and as cheaply as in other large cities. He gave enthusiastic pictures of tho fair, and es­ pecially of the German and French ex­ hibits, the unity and skillful arrange­ ment of which contrasted lia^ularly with the go-as-you-please methods of the English.--Springfield Republican. Imprisoned Miners Swam Out. Fifty-eight miners dripping wet and much the worse for a very singular and remarkable experience underground, crawled from the mouth of the old slope of the Marshall mine and seemed to*be generally satisfied that they had been able to find a way out. The men were threatened with imprisonment, and but for the old workings would have had a siege. The engine at the Marshall broke down suddenly, stopping the cages about the middle of the shaft, which is 200 feet deep, and imprisoning all of the 58 men at work. They had no way of exit with the exception of walking a mile and a half under ground to the old slope which had very fortunately been con­ nected with the Marshall by an under­ ground tunnel about a year ago. This they all set out to do, and upon emerging from the mouth of the old slope they were very much "drowned out" from having been obliged to wade and swim through water and mud four to six feet deep. The experience is said to have been anything but pleasant.-- Louisville Cor. Colorado Sun. Kidnaped by Indians. It is just 10 years since the Bmall chil­ dren of Thomas Schless, a boy and girl, were lost at Medford, this state, while on an errand for their mother, and all hope of finding them was given up by their parents, as neighbors searched the woods for two days without a trace of them. It was supposed that they had been destroyed by wild animals. It seems now that they were not lost, but stolen by Indians. The boy recently es­ caped and has been working on a farm near Mishicott. He speaks the Indian language, fluently, but very little Eng­ lish, and it is only through words dropped here and there to bi^ employer, who hap­ pened to be acquainted with his folks, that he finally recognized him. His fa­ ther arrived yesterday from Medford. The boy says he knows where his sister is, and she will also probably be found. The boy was 5 and the girl 7 years old when they disappeared.--Wisconsin Cor. Philadelphia Ledger. , World's Fair Clothing at J. J. Miller's rest Side. Imprisoned In Their,Cyclone Pit. In Hart county, Ga., there lives a family by the name of Finley, who dug a storm pit in the front yard. They fitted it up with heavy doors, ventilation tubes and furniture to make it comfort­ able for a day's abode if necessary. With the indications of an approaching cyclone Monday the family retired to the underground quarters. When the Btorm subsided, they found that some immovable obstruction had been blown across the door of tke stormhouse, and they were prisoners. Finally the neigh­ bors in searching for their bodies, sup­ posing them all to be dead, removed a great tree that had fallen across the door, and the family were rescued in time to 6ave their lives. • The Curfew in Canada. The ringing of the curfew bell is to be revived in the cities and towns of Can­ ada. Under the provisions of the new law, or rather of the ancient law re­ vived, all persons under the age of 17 years are expected to make for home at the first tap of the bell. The idea is to force children off the streets nights and to keep them within the benign influ­ ences of the family circle, rather than to allow them to learn deviltry in the com­ pany of evil associates. The law is uni­ versally applauded in Canada, and the brightest hopes are entertained of its beneficial effect on tho young.--Chicago Herald. An Incident at the National Capital. The two daughters of Jeff Davis, Mrs. Hayes and Winnie Davis, visited the na­ tional capital Sunday to view the wall paintings in the room of the committee on agriculture. As children Jefferson, Jr., and Mrs. Hayes acted as models for the Cupids in the painting. The doors were locked, and there was no one around who had a key, so the captain of the cap- itol police burst in the doors for the women to see the works of art. I was a witness.--Cor.

From this he deduces the probability that this summer will be one of the hottest and driest and thirsti­ est on record. Tern Makes Beparattoak _ „ Secretary Gresham lias been fortunat® enough to score a success within the fi] six weeks of his service at the head the department of state. , Peru has promised full reparation for tie recent attack upon our consular agency at Mollendo, and as an earnest of her purpose has already removed from office the subprefect of tho department in which the assault occurred. Minister Hicks, in reporting the affair, spoke of the person who had been, wounded as an acting consular agent, and sine© Mr. Griffith is our accredited representative at Mollendo a native of Peru may have been in temporary charge of the con­ sulate during the/outbreak of mob vio» lence. But Mr. Gresham's demand for reparation was based on the offense com­ mitted against the government as well as on the injury to person and property. Prompt as that demand was, tne re­ sponse of Peru has been equally quick and unequivocal. She has expressed her regret for the occurrence, so that the apology due to the government is prac­ tically complete, and the proper amount of indemnity can easily be settled. This little incident, sprung upon the new state department and rapidly dispose^ of, may bave an indirect influence much beyond its intrinsic importance as a practical experience of the value of courteous frankness and vigor in dealing with for* eign nations.--New York Sun. * Naronic Insurance. The marine insurance companies on this side of the Atlantic have given up all hope of the Naronic, and the New York Mutual and the Atlantic Mutual insurance companies have begun to pay off their policies on the Naronie's cargo. "Law and custom do not compel us to pay until after a year and a day," said the president of the New York Mutual Insurance company, "but we are satis­ fied that the Naronic is lost. The rule on this side that marine insurance com­ panies should not pay for losses until the lapse of a year and. a day sprang in­ to existence in the days when there were only sailing vessels. Then there was good reason for the rule, but in these days of steamships there can be no reason for any such delay." The president of tho Atlantic Mutual Insurance company said that they con­ sidered the vessel lost, and there was no uso of waiting longor to rattle tip with the policy holders. • Seasonable Triekh - T&j confectioners hare beenrirrengfng - themselves in the past few days. It is the custom of the majority of girls who enter to buy five cents' worth of candy to eat from the trays about as much more. A Fourth street confectioner filled his counters with all kinds of April Fool candy. Some of it was red hot; other pieces had small lumps of soap in­ side and others cork and rubber. It was very amusing to watch the young women as they helped themselves to the sweets. The faces they made would have dam­ aged a looking glass. One piece was . . enough. The trick caused a great deal of merriment among tho clerks of the Jvf etore.--Louisville Courier-JoumaL r Tearly Income of Paris Theaters.
