EDITOR PLAINDEALER:--For the benefit It may be to deserving but dis­ couraged Midlers, will you kluilly give •pace In your columns to the following brief hlstery ef a Pension Claim which was lately brought to a successful Issue by William H. Cowlin, of Woodstock? As a near relative of the claimant I was deeply Interested In the matter. Standing between claimant and attor­ ney a great deal, I was able to watch the hoi est, earnest management wlilcri won the case wherein, as the history proves, many more pretentious attor­ neys failed: The claimant was well and hearty and a good seldler until, while on the MTupelo Campaign," he was taken prisoner and confined in rebel prlsohs. where a Ullght scratch on an ankle, in connection with his unhealthy food and waters, resulted in gangrene, and he hobbled on crutches to muster out with his company. While he bas since discarded the crutches aud cane, he was permanently crippled and his sys­ tem otherwise broken and diseased by the prison life. His regiment was marching near the rear of the column, one hot July day, halted about noon under some trees for rest. It marched on leavlrg him lying asleep, and he was not awakened until the wagon-train was passing the spot. He could not overtake his regiment. The best he could do was to move on with the wagon train and overtake his regimbnt when it next h tiled: but in a very short time rebel cavalry made a dash upon the train and he waa captpr• eJ.Ctot.nned and crippled, paroletl only In time to muster out with his company. At first he was too patriotic to apply for a pensiou from his government which was Itself financially distressed; but necessity and observation soen taught him that the refusal of a prof­ fered 'gratuity" was patriotism mis* directed. Bis application for pension first revealed to him the astonishing fact that notwith«tandlng his posses sion of an honorable discharge he was recorded as a deserter upon the records In the War Department. The War De­ partment re meed toctiange the record, saying that his blame or blamelessnes* made no diflerence--that "desertion" simply meant "absence from the ranks without expressed leave;" and It was after advised by thosi whom we con­ sidered good authority that the Pen­ sion Department would uot grant pension while that record stood; and that a special Act of Congress was our only remedy. Preliminary to auch "Act of Congress" I engaged Mr. Cowlln's attention in the case, fully determined and half expecting, to drop the case only when I do my gray balrs. perhaps fifty years hence, after reasonable time given Congress to "Act;" although at that time I had never seen any of the papers in the case nor heard its history or Its merlta. In the language of tlie claimant, "My first attorney was M. C. Pike of Alton IU. He had my case on his docket for five years, and I think be never did anything with It as he never advised me in any way. Then I wrote B. F Pritchard, of Indianapolis, Ind., upon having seen an advertisement ef bis. I then paid Mr. Pike his fee and gave the claim to Mr. Pritchard with all the evidence he asked. Afterward Geo. E. Leman, of Washington, notified me that he had purchased the business of Mr. Pritchard, and be asked me for more testimony. Finally he returned j my discharge, saying that be thought my case a Just one but that he would advise me not to try any more. Under my advice, the claimant pnt the case in the hands of M. M. Clothier, of Richmond, 111., who, after Investi­ gating it thoroughly, and seemingly doing all possible to prosecute the case to a successful Issue, finally told me his opinion was that nothing but an act of Congress could secure the pension; and the case was received by Mr. Cowlin as an "Abandoned Claim." Through no fault of the claimant, he was captured; through no fault of bis he was recorded a "deserter;" through ne fault of his bis health and strength were broken forever; and through no fault of bis, his claim was delayed by attorneys who were, as the result proves, efther negligent or Inefficient. The length of delay can be no easier realized tbat) by considering the fact that meanwhile I grew from childhood to mat*hood; and the uselessness of it can be no easier realised than by con­ sideration of tlte'fact that Mr. Cowlin successfully finished It In the course ef a very"few aiontbft, at a time when the prosecution of claim* waa no easier or Important to Ex-Union Soldiers. There being new pending In the War Department great numbers of volun­ teer pension claims which cannot be satisfactorily verified for want of in­ formation which missing records of discontinued volunteer commands would aflord; and it having transpired in many instauens that officers of the late volunteer forces have still in their possession, or under their control, books and other records pertaining to their corps, division, brigades, regiments and companies, Adjutant-General Drum has issued a circular calling at­ tention to the fact that all such books and records should be deposited in the adjutant general's office, and earnestly requests that they be forwarded with­ out delay to the adjutant-general at Washington. No expense other than postage, or proper express charge* when packages exceed four pounds (the limit for mail parcels) can be paid by the Government. In the Interest of the great number of widows, orphans, and disabled soldiers whose claims are involved, the newspapers of the coun­ try are requested to give the substance of this circular the greatest publicity. TUB CHRISTIAN I.KAGUE OV CONNECTI­ CUT. Vol. II. A Sequal, by R. E. Porter, 212 Pages, Cloth, fl.00; Paper, 50 Cts. Christian Publishing Co., St. Louis. The Interesting religious experiment recorded by Washington Gla Iden, ef which Bradford. Conn., was the thea­ ter, has excited a large degree of in­ terest in the religious world. There is hardly a town or village in the country there is not a strong latent feeling of the need ot union, and many places are ripe for a similar experiment. The causes that led to tiie eflort to unite the nflorts of religious denominations at Brad (of d. and to make them vir­ tually oafe the difficulties in the way, the mawfer in which these were ever- come, Ind the ctiaracter of the union effected have been well described by •Q men cantot foresee wliere thelr own paths will load them. When our fore­ fathers denounced the British stamp act they had not the slightest dream of erecting this great independent Re­ public. Consequences seeiu to have resulted also from the steps taken by the earnest men who tounded the Christian League of which they had no forethought, it was not to be expect­ ed that their first compact would meet every difficulty which would arise. From its very nature a serious friction arose in the early days of the League. This at first threatened Its destruction but has been happily suimounted, and the result has been another step for­ ward. The work named above gives the history of the workings of the L<eague; the friction that arose; thd counsel and prayers of earnest Christians who made the Savior's prayer for unity their own: the manner in which the serious difficulties were overcome, and the present working basis of the League. In the preface a short account of the original League is given, a con­ densation of Washington Glad den's history, and then the historian pro­ ceeds to record the bubsequent history of tne League. To all who are inter­ ested in the religious movements of our times, and especially in the long­ ings of the good and lioiy tor a united church, the faithful,vivid and thought­ ful continuation of this history will be of rare Interest. Recently the Ameri­ can Congress of churches has met in Hartford, Conn. Is it uot possible that the Christian League of Connecticut is responsible both for the Congress and its place of meeting? The following summary of the heads of the chapters will give the readers some idea of the matters that come under review in the work: Trouble in tibe Christian League Club; A Crisis in the Aflairs of the League; Christian Union in the Christian League; Report of the Committee on Union; Action of the Church on the Proposition for Union; The first Meeting of the Church of Christ in New Albion. Letter flrom Vlneland. N. J. £ EDITOR PLAIN DEALER,--We are having very dry and warm weather at present. On account of the drought the strawberry crop has been shorten­ ed and all the crops have suffered. These droughts are of annual occurence and are a great hlnderance to oar farmers, but we cannot expect every­ thing as we would wish it, so we are content with what weather M01d,Prob,f sends us. This is the strawberry see- son and, uoihwithstanding the dry weather, carloads and carloads have been sent to the different adjacent city markets. A great many pickers are employed to pick ".hem, some get­ ting one and a halt cents a quart, others two cents. During berry time, hardly a child, that Is large enough te pick, can be seen on the streets, al­ most all being engaged In pickiug strawberries, raspberries or black­ berries, in their seasou. A week ago, a strawberry fair was held and a great many handsome and various kinds ef berries were exhibited. On the Moke occasion the ladles of the Floral Society gave an exhibition of roses, which was very fine indeed and which reflected much credit on their labor In rearing such beautiful and large flow­ ers. Premiums to the amount of about fifty dollars were offered fer the best display, quality, etc. ef the straw­ berries. The season is about open for people to go te the different watering places, although two weeks will find a still larger number moving eastward aed southward. A great many Vlneland people own seaside cottages and very pleasant times they have In them' when the hot summer days come, there is one little watering place to whicli we are It is about thri Is one of the the Atlantic Beach City, so ful large holly arly attracted. eld and really eaiitlful 8pots en This is Holly ; ed from the beautl- that abound. The island on which It is situated is five miles long and about one mile wide; g a great p*rt ot It is covered with quite a forest of trees and 1 particularly re­ member Its large hollies aud oaks. This place is about six miles nort'teast of Cape May City and It is a very '-i beautiful sail from one place to tlie> other ou what Is called the thorongha^ ^ nr* Wwltmnw During the Bummer time there are. many excursions to these dlfiecent ae^» side resorts. At present one of the greatest blessing at home here, is a street sprinkler, which has just been manu­ factured. A very public spirited citizen startei It and has generously offered to run it a week, free of charge, Otir streets, especially Landis Ave., the principal one are very dusty during the dry weather and the sprinkler comes as a great blessing. The business men and women of a certain portion of Landis Ave. are expected to support it in the future. The skating Rink has closed for the season, but the Salvation Army Is still at work, endeavoring to save souls and convert people to their way of think- The Franklin, Ga., News tells the following remarkable story: "Mr. Z. B. Claxton, who lives a mile from town, has the most remarkable baby we ever saw. The child is now a little more than two years old, Very early In its babyhood it besame a victim to fits, and the most skillful medical aid proved to be of no avail. But what is so remarkable Is that when it was not more than three months old It showed an intense desire for tobacco. When anyone would take a chew in Its pres­ ence Its little face would be lit up with smiles as Its small grewtbless hands stretched out for It. This action of the little luvalhrwas>oticed for some time, and filially its father determined to give it tobacco, notwithstanding the strcog protestations of the family. It took It eagerly and chewed it, swal­ lowing everything. The child showed no symptoms of sickness from it what­ ever, aud from that it began the regu­ lar use of tobacco. This produced a happy effect, and the child began to fatten. Medical treatment, of course was dispensed with, and It Is now the chubbiest and most healthy looking of all Mr. Claxton's family. Its recovery is attributed wholly to the use of to­ bacco, but since it has been cured It seem? not to crave the weed, and re­ fuses to take it when offered; and now Mr. Claxton thinks it will never uso tobacco agais. pis ts indeed a won­ derful case," ing. They have had a division here, • however, and It has been thought best , to have two armies, Instead of one. Even the Salvation Army have dilficul- j ties and cannot cling together, but I suppose it all tends to the advance­ ment of humanity, that we differ ID opinions aud start out on new courses. v Although this is not the usuil time for lectures in Vlneland, we are being ^ favored with them from noted persons. Mr. Burnham Wardwell is one of them. He had charge of the Virginia State « Prisou two years and made mauy great " improvements in the treatment ef the 1 prisoners; He abandoned the use ef .. the whipping-pest, burled the deadl prisoners in a more humanitarian way *Vi and showed what that great power of " i love, rightly used, could do. He haa ; made prison reform his study aud work for the last twelve years, and endeav- ore every where he goes, to investigate Into the manner of treating the prison- • era, insane, and paupers and reporting J the same to the public. He has been Imprisoned himself and almost starved j to death for exposing the treatment of the jailers towards the prisoners. It Is very evideut that the prisons, in­ sane asylums and almshouses In our free and liberty leying country are not . conducted as they should be. ^ Pror. R, W. Hume, of N.
