BY AN OLD SOL.IUEB. Among all of Hoke Smith's redactions and euepeneions has anybody heard of the lightning striking a single ex-Confed­ erate pensioner of the Mexican war? Another drafted clergyman was the Rev. Springer, who was assigned to the 81st Wisconsin as a private and after­ ward commissioned chaplain. At Tlaaaca Ga„, he insisted on going into the fight against the colonel's orders and received wounds from which he soon died. Tht Only Olerfymw Dtaltlii Bey. Win. J. Potter, of New Bedford, whose death has recently been reported, was the only clergyman drafted during the war. He showed an earnest patriot­ ism from the beginning of the contest and expressed an intense desire that he might be drafted. On July 22 his name was drawn. The following Bunday he preached a sermon on "The Voice of the Draft," which attracted Secretary Stan­ ton's attention, who wrote to the young clergyman to come to Washington, though Mr. Potter answered that he in­ tended to abide by the result of the draft. Leave of absence was granted him and he served out his term.--Chicago Herald. mCorporal J as. Tanner, ex-United States commissioner of pensions, is now a pa­ tient at the Seney Hospital, in Brooklyn nnder the care of Dr. G. R. Fowler. It is said that the corporal will in a tew days submit again to the knife and will have another inch cut from each leg. His legs were so shattered at the second battle of Bnll Run that amputation was neces­ sary to save his life. Since then he has traveled about on a pair of artificial limbs Three times since the war, however, he has had to return to the surgeon's table to have a slice cut from each stump. Twice the operation has nearly resulted in death, but as the corporal is now in excellent general health his doctor says be has little fear aside from the pain. Gen. W. A. Clark, of Butler, Pa., com- mander-in-chief of the Union Veteran Legion, and a prominent figure in Grand Army circles, is on a tour of visitation to the encampments in the middle, east­ ern and some of the western cities. He is a gentleman of the most genial type and from his boyhood has been a friend of Gov, McKinley. During his trip he has been received royally by the veterans everywhere. Gen. Clark is much interest­ ed in pension legislation, and says that he does not consider a pension in the light of a gratuity, but thinks it is just­ ly earned and belongs to the soldiers. "A proper bill," he said, "would take the pension question out of pojijbi&i, find it ought to be passed. * A gentleman from Southern IflfnofB re- oently told us a story, for the veracity of which he will not vouch, but which is none the less amusing. He said that during the war while Dick Ogleeby was stationed at Bird's Point, orders were issued that no foraging wonld be allow­ ed. A band from Salem, 111., was with that division of the army and was order ed into review one morning. It was or­ dered to play, but not a note was issued, and the leader seeing an opportunity whispered to Uncle Dick that the band boys had a pig in the bass drum, to which the latter replied in a voice loud enough for anyone near to hear: If your drum is sick why in thunder didn't you say »^?" The boys marched to their headquarters, disposed of the pig and came back playing Yankee Doodle with a vigor never before eqoUsd.--LitcbBeld Monitor. Why not do it* There were pending in the pension bu­ reau June 30, 1893. claims as follows: Original invalid gen. law 128,581 Original invalid, act June 27 '90...08,554 Act June 27 '90 withorigin'l in^l'd 30,694 Act of June 271890. rejected 8,034 Total.. 255,763 It wonld cost only. #3,046,104 a month or $24,558,248 a year, to put every one of these on the pension-roll at •8 a month. The total cost would be considerably lees than this, as several thousands of these claimants have died since last.lune. A large number of them were then dead, and the pension bureau had not been notified of the fact. Why shall not the scandal of the long delay to whirh these old soldiers have been eabjected be ended by putting the whole number on the pension roll at once? This would be eminently the right and just thing, and it wonld be a shrewd stroke of policy by the present adminis­ tration. There is no fear of tronble about the money. The bonds recently offered by the secretary of the treasury were snap­ ped up greedily by the capitalists, and many times the amount could have been disposed of without the least trouble. Common people did not get a chance to obtain a single one of them. To pay these pensions would not only be an act of lony-deferred justice, but it would be wonderfully helpful in aiding the restoration of national prosperity. Senator Sherman has frequently said' that nothing helped-the country so much to recover from the depression of 1873 as the paymen t of the "arrears of pen­ sions " It scattered hundreds of millions ol dollars among the common .people, ' 4 . • • » > c S •j* ! ip l fZt i where the money went at once into active circulation, and each dollar was immedi­ ately helpful in paying at least flOO worth of indebtedness. So this $24,000,000 would at once act. It would not be hoarded up in banks erf the great cities, increasing the dangerous plethora of money there, but would go into the pocketa oi people in every town and village in the country. The pen­ sioners would each of them pay out his little moiety to his grocer, baker, dry- goods merchant, doctor and house- owner, and these would in turn pay it to their creditors, so that every pulse of trade would receive a healthful impulse. L9t us have it done immediately.--JVa- tkm&l Tribune. Wthy, Pointed and No wonder Chairman Wilson is sick. That tariff bill is enough to make any­ body sick. The Farmer's Alliance disapproves of Secretary Morton and for once its dis­ approval meets with general approval. The enterprising manufacturer of cam­ paign goods will be certain to lay in an immense supply of immitation cuckoos. Mr. Cleveland must find' it difficult to sleep while that silver gong is being thnmped so hard in Congress. Few people will feel disposed to con­ tradict the assertion of Congressman Harter, himself a democrat, that the democratic party is a jackass party. Brother Talmage is going around the world, but has weekly sermon will con­ tinue to oocupy its usual place in the papers. The "North and South" railroad scheme of the Kansas populists is like others from the same source--too glitter ing in promises. The democratic party believes as firmly in slave labor as it did in 1861. It doesn't care about the color of the la­ borer as long as he can be made a slave. It seems that there are a number of democratic Senators who have no doubt of either the constitutionality or desir­ ability of protection, when it is for their own interests. Gov. Lewelltag's jaw-bone isn't as deadly a weapon as the one that caused such havoc in the bible story. In fact, as a jawist he isn't in the same class as Mary Ellen Lease. The IndianB of the five civilised tribes in Indian Territory do not want state­ hood, but certain schemers who think they see big money in it do. Congress will decide the question. We boast of the refining effects of civ­ ilization, Yet, more than one thousand people voluntarily witnessed the flogging of seven prisoners at the public whipping post at Wilmington, Del., the other day. The tramp question is worrying the local authorities at Washington. They should turn it over to the democratic President and Congress, who have made more tramps than any thing else. The democrats of the Senate Finance committee are working on the theory that the people have no rights that dem­ ocrats are bound to respect The people will have their way next November. , "Theory is the wisdom of the wise man; practice the wisdom of God."-- ex-speaker Reed. The country is now getting a taste of theory from the dem­ ocratic point of view. The Southern Interstate Immigration Bureau has employed a party of medical experts to examine and report upon the healthfulness of the south. It isn't the sanitary condition of the south that keeps out immigrants. It can hardly be considered a recom­ mendation of Mississippi's new Senator, Mr. McLaurin, to say that he is a suc­ cessful criminal lawyer. Dan Voorhees and Joe Blackburn are also successful criminal lawyers, but nobody ever ac­ cused either of being a statesman. The cuckoo democrats in the Senate say they have conciliated the democratic Senators who were opposed to the Cleve­ land tariff bill. This may be true, but they have not conciliated the thousands who are either idle or working for re­ duced wages because of that, and they' have not tried. * ° Here is a bit oi knowledge for those who are so positive that we are not up to the old world in our educational methods. The German School Commissioner to the World's Fair says in his official report to his government: "In their school system the Americans are in every way superior to the Germans." A great many democrats want to know whether Gov. Flower's barrel has been permanently closed. We can't speak as to the permanency, but it is clear that the old man doesn't intend to put up good money for a worthless nomination. He knows that no amount of money can make a democrat the next governor oi New York. BUCKLEN'S ARNICA SALVE.

'If they succeed in recovering the bodies of Instructor Merriam and Miss Yeargin from the depths of Cayuga by means of electricity, as I see they in­ tend to try to do," said a gentleman who grew up on the shores of Cayuga lake, it will be the first time in the history of the lake that the body of any person drowned in its waters was ever seen again. I always had a liking for geolog- | ical research and indulged it for many ' years in investigating the bottom of Cay­ uga lake. "My experiments satisfied me that the bottom of the lake is a series of large openings and cavities, many of them craterlike. Some of these are 100 feet in diameter. These craters, as I believe them to be, lie at different depths, or, rather, their raised edges are of different heights. Their depths are fathomless. They have undoubtedly become the re­ ceptacles of the bodies of the hundreds of people who are known to have been drowned in the lake since that country was settled and of thewundoubted thou­ sands of people killed in the fierce bat­ tles that were frequently waged on the shores of the lake between hostile tribes of aboriginal warriors during the cen­ turies preceding the coming of the white' man. "It was in Cayuga lake that the fiend­ ish murderer Ruloff lowered the bodies of his wife and child, 30 years ago, after he had murdered them. The bodies were inclosed in a chest, as he confessed be­ fore be was hanged at Binghamton for another murder,, The weeks that were spent in dragging the lake for this chest were simply wasted, for it was sunk into the mouth of one of those bottomless openings, and, if it is not sinking yet, is still floating about in those mysterious depths. "Within half a century more than 100 persons have been drowned in. Cayuga lake, to recover the bodies of whom the grappling iron and drag were used in­ dustriously, but in vain. If it were pos­ sible for one to make the rounds of this lake's craterlike bed, he would, without doubt, encounter hideous oharnel houses beyond number--caverns where hosts of grinning skeletons have found sepulcher, submarine catacombs without end. Per­ haps the electricians exploring the lake bottom with their intense lights, as they purpose doing, may make some such dis­ coveries."--Rochester Post-Express. MILK INSTEAD OF FLOUR. Tlriken Wlio Say That It Pays IhHB to Feed Wheat to Their Cows. Philadelphia milk consumers may probably be interested in an experiment of the farmers of the Schuylkill valley, whence that city receives large quantities of its milk. Recently increased ship­ ments of milk have been made. Wheat, in round figures, sells at less than 65 cents, and owing to its low price many farmers are chopping theirs and feeding it to cattle. They say that bran is a cent a pound, corn nearly a cent a pound, oats a cent a pound, and wheat a cent a pound, and that, as wheat has at least one-third more milk producing qualities, it is cheaper at present prices to feed it than corn or anything else. By actual test it was learned that 60 pounds of wheat make mo: milk and of better quality than the sac quantity of corn, or almost any other class of feed, and it is stated that since Schuylkill val­ ley shippers are feeding wheat to their cows their milk is pronounced of a higher standard of excellence. Farmers say that they cannot afford to raise wheat for flourmaking purposes unless they get 90 cents to $1 a bushel--Beading Cor. Phil­ adelphia Ledger. Mark Twain. Mark Twain's hair has grown whits and his physique is not so stalwart as it was a few years ago, but his mind is as juvenile as ever. He has a hacking cough, which, when he gives way to it, is almost convulsive in its tendency, but the humorist seems entirely ladifferent to its violence. He sat in a prominent New York club a few days ago, running spasmodically from one story to another and commenting upon the talk of his companions, with a perpetual smile lurk­ ing around the corners of his mouth. Yet at short intervals he was bent over almost double under tlve violence of his cough. When his companions referred to it, as they did on one or two occasions, Mr. Clemens seemed quite unaware of the fact that he had been arousing a good deal of sympathy as well as incessant laughter.--Exchange. Bad Seaaon For London Hotels. This has been a rather bad season for some of the London hotels, particularly for one or two of the larger ones, "Birds of passage" have been scarcer than has been the case for years. The great body of traveling Americans stayed at home, not apparently for the purpose of adding to the wealth of Chicago or of making the Columbian exhibition an unparalleled success, but simply on account of a lack of money. The absence of visitors-- among whom Americans are probably the most profitable--had a depressing ef­ fect upon many kinds of business, but none suffered more than some of the laig* est hotels.--Pall Mall Budget. Baltimore's Mew Monument. Baltimore is about to put up another monument. The young Irish are at the head of the movement, and they have not yet decided on the hero to honor. So far the vote favors, in the order named. Emmet, O'Connell, Grattan, Tone, Burke and Parnell, and the choice will be made from this half dozen. Contrary to the order of such things, the money is al­ ready provided.--Baltimore Letter. Rothschild's Museum Opsstd. Mr. Walter Rothschild, son of Lord Rothschild, has completed and openeu his zoological museum at Tring, in the Cliiltern district, England. The museum is wholly and entirely devoted to zoolog­ ical matters and includes many rare specimens. Mr. Rothschild is an entire- astic amateur naturalist and bm spent much money in establishing Ms PORTUGUESE IN NEW YORK CiTYi'.,.,! Orth* 16,000 In the United States «fc« aft« 1 tropolis Bas hat 7«.

Thia " would be a very creditable showing if . there were more than 76 of them. As it ia». .. the only Wonder is that there are so few.. In the whole United States there are 16,000 Portuguese. Nine thousand eight hun­ dred and fifty-nine of them are returned by the last census as residents of Cali­ fornia, 8,051 as residents of Maasachn- eetts. 833 as residents of Rhode TdaaA and 76 as residents of New York city. .:- They are a maritime people, most ma- merous in such seaport cities as 8ia .

' Emigrants from the lands of Camoena and the Braganzas are famous as sailcra and navigators, and their descendants we scattered in many lands, notably la Hawaii, where the Portuguese popttl»- tion is considerable, and the East BuUos, where the Portuguese colonies arstto- merous. New York is a cosmopolitan ' city. Men of every race and nationality are to be found here. The total immi­ gration to the United States throogjk Ellis island from Jan. 1,1893, to Dec. IS was 233,597, and toward this total Por­ tugal contributed the almost infinitesimal total of 79 persons. The Portuguese ai% . generally speaking, thrifty, hardy, in­ dustrious and matter of fact. They hava little of the sentiment of their Spanish neighbors. They are law abiding and undemonstrative, and Gubbins appears to be a backslider, stimulated perhaps to deeds of unruly violence by New Jen»f • whisky or Medford rum, both poor sub- stitutes for the fine wines of the Oporto district shipped from Lisbon and famoaa the world over.--New York Sun. TERRIBLE DEATH OF A HORSE. Thm Costly Animal Goes BCad and Xwat Itself Almost to JM«cek. " 'r*' J. EL Sechrist of this county lost his fine stallion Fleetwood in a peculiar and, terrible manner. The animal was a irery <fine one, an inbred Hambletonian, both powerful and speedy. A few days ago it was taken with blind •taggers, and its sufferings were terrible. Tha climax of the disease was reached on Tuesday morning, when the animal went crazy. He was tied in his stable, but ia his agony he broke the strong rope hal­ ter as if it were a thread, and driving his head against the side of the barn cov­ ered everything with blood. Finally he made a desperate effort aft the door, and tearing it from its hingas, went at a run through the field. His speed was terrific, and he stopped not for paling, board or wire fences, but took everything in his mad ran. He ran through a paling fence six times and through a four wire barbed fence 18 times, tearing his legs and body in a hor­ rible manner. It was just before day, and Mr. Sechrist says that every time ha struck the wire the fire flew, and the ring of the wire could be heard a long distance. Finally, from exhaustion ana loss of blood, he fell and died. Mr. Ss» ehris# valued him at $2,000 and brought Mm from Kentucky.--Oklahoma Special, :'iv! r; She Died With the Cat. Mrs. Allie Spencer of Stillwater found dead in her house there recently* It was at first supposed to be a case of suicide, but later developments showed that it was the result of a strange acci­ dent. Mrs. Spencer had said she intend­ ed to chloroform an old house cat. Tha cat was found lying dead in a box, which also held a large sponge. The strong odor of chloroform in the room told tha rest of the sad story.
