marie by Lieut.. Cuching's picket boat
netted the boats crew 1884. Vice Ad-

The Worlds Washington special says:
There is a steady falling off in applica-
tons for pensions, both for widows and
inyalids. They were about 2 900 of each
, last month, being a decline of nearly two
per cent. a month for a few months past
When the army disbanded last summer
f the applications for three months ranged
from 1900 to 5000 per month.

advertisements of claim agents, that sol

no extra .,bounties have been authorized

CAUSES OF SUDDEN DEATH.-To ascer-
tain the real origin of sudden death, an
experiment has been tried in Europe, and
reported to a scientific congress held at
S~trasbourg. S~ixty-six cases of sudden
death were made the subject of thorough
post mortena examination; in these cases
only two were found who had died from
disease of the heart. Nine out of sixtysix
had died from apoplexy, while there were
forty-six cases of congestion of the lungs
that is, the lungs were so full Of blood
they could not work, there being not room
enough for a sufficient quantity of air to
enter to support life. The causes that
produce congestion of the lungs are-cold
feet, tight clothing. %costive bowels, sitting
still until chilled after being warmed with
labor or a rapid walk, going too suddenly
from a close, heated room into the cold
air, especially after speaking, and sudden
depressing news operating on the blood
These causes of sudden death being
known, an avoidance ofthem may serve tt
lengthen many valuable lives, which would
otherwise be lost under the verdict o
heart complaint. II b8s

important to Discharged Soldiers!

nEIJEVING that the soldiers who enlisted
y earlyin the war, who first sprang to arms
at the country's call. and first placed them
selves in TIE front, should receive at least an
eoual amount of bounty with those who en-
listed after December "a, 1868, 1 A. HUTCH
,NsoN. of Columbus, Ohio, General Agent tor
the collection of Military Claims, offers his
services, and with the assistance OF the SOL
diers themselves, will undertakes to secure IL.
He accordingly invites all soldiers who enlls-
ted In the army prior to the 24tk OF Decem-
her. 1868, and were hunorably discharged
IN srefrom. receiving only 500 or less, boun-
tv. no matter what the cause of the discharge
or length of time served ], to forward their dis
charge papers to him Immediately, that a
prompt and decisive effort may be made to
| secure what would seem to be so justly due.
Upon receiving the discharges, receipts for
them will be promptly returned, accompanied
by the necessary papers In eacn particular
case, with full information.
This is a matter that must receive imme'
diate attention, for, unless it is to a.
once. and supported by a sufficient number
of interested names and applications to in
duce the necessary action it will doubtless BE-
! p0StpOu6u, anu mdy uO Ahoiy UiVPPoN'
0SS-See to it then without delay. Already
quite a number of, cases are on file, and if an,
soldier thinks he has not already received
what is properly due, let him send his dis
charge, with a clear statement of what h
claims, and an early reply will be given.
The heirs or legal representatives OF Sol
diers who enlisted prior to the Gath Of Deem
Der, 1863, and died in the service, or in Rebe
prisons, will also be equally entitled to tn
benefits contemplated in this movement, an
= they are requested to lose no time in commu
n~icating with him on the subject.
ONCE MORE, attention will be called to tn
Importance of acting at once in this matter.
G If successful, a moderate compensation wi
be asked;if uns uccessful,no fee. will be Gale
for.
All classes of Military Claims entrusted t

exhibited no trepidation, though his fea-
lures showed he had endured much men
tai suffering. His fathers manifestation
of grief was intense, and his brothers
were visibly affected. The court room
was crowded with spectators. When the

The Cattle DiSease--Chfef Justice
Chase and JEFF. DaviS-The BOun-
~ Bill.

New YORK, Dec. 29.-The Tribune's
Washington dispatch contains the fol-
lowing: The Secretary of the Treasury
yesterday, in a circular, calls attention of
Custom House officials and agents in for
eign countries to the late act passed by
Congress to prevent the spread of for.
eigu diseases among CATTLE Of the United
States, and says that the importation of
b%ovines, and of sheep. goats, horses, mules
and swine. is entirely prohibited. Gus
toms officers and foreign agents of the
United States are requested to explain the
objects of this act and regulations to all
concerned in their vicinity.
Chief Justice Chase in conversation
yesterday, remarked that whenever he
found the case of The United States against
JEFF. Davis on the Docket he should pro,
coed to try it, but that under no circum.
stances will he try in Virginia while thai
State is occupied by military.
There seems to be entire unanimity
among members Of Congress in regard tt
the bill recently introduced, giving boun
ties to volunteers of 1861, which will un
doubtedly be passed on the reassemblin!
of that body.

THE HIGH PRICE OF PAPER.-Paper
has risen almost one hundred per cent.
since the first of August, and is now quite
as high as it was any time last year, and
the tendency is still onward and upward.
There is little, prospect for relief before
next spring. Paper, ink, labor, and all
the materials which go to make a news
paper are SO high that no proprietor can
afford to publish a papes for less than
double the price received before the war,
Still, people complain because the prices
are not reduced. not thinking that the
matter is entirely beyond the control Of
