The National AsyIums for Disabled
&nIdfarS


The board of managers of the Ma
tional Asylums for disabled volunteer
soldiers, met in this city on Saturday,
General Butler in the chair. President
johnson, General Grant, Ex-Governor
Smyth. of New Hampshire, General
Martindale, General Cavender, W.
Guuckel, and DR.. Wolcott, were pres
ent. Reports were read from the sew
eral asylums, which showed that there
were 300 disabled soldiers in the Cen
trail Asylum, 200 at the Eastern, and
100 at the Northwestern brauch-being
the full capacity OF these asylums. Ad-
ditional buildings are in process of
erection, which will accommodate, be-
fore fall, 600 more, which the board is
satisfied will be fully needed by that
time.
The committee on location of Central
Asylum reported the purchase OF land
IA beautiful and eligible site-near
Dayton, Ohio, and Immediate erection
of buildings at that point was deter
mined upon. About 600 more disa bled
soldiers were aided by what is termed
outdoor reliet-beinS relief given to
men with families at their homes
making at least l 200 men cared for by
the board of managers during the past
year.
Many important provisions were
made for the government OF the aSy-

ciary OF the asylum, and that he shall

General Butler was appointed treas
urer, he giving bond in the sum OF
SlOO, 900, and was authorized TO receive
from the United States Treasury the
registered bonds and funds belonging
to the asylum. He and Mr.. Gunckel
were appointed a committee to procure
the establishment of post offices, pen
sion agents, &C., at each OF the asylums.
Major Theodore Yates WAS appointed
governor OF the asylum at Milwaukee,
and Rev. VIM. EArnshaw chaplain Of
the asylum in Ohio.
The proceedings were harmonious
and most satisfactory. The reports of
the several asylums showed that the
inmates were contented, happy, and
most grateful to Congress for its liberal
provision in their behalf; and those
aided are but fraction OF those who
will seek aid in the future. The board,
however, will make ample provision
for all, so that hereafter no man who
was disabled in the service of his coun-
try shall linger in almshouses, or need
food and raiment, wherever he may

"httly.
From grs IeochesteT Union.
A little girl, three years OF age, on
Sunday week. was sleeping in her crib
bed in the bed room of her mother, the
husband and father being absent at
tending TO his business, which is of a
public nature, md which keeps him up
nights. a door opening into the sit
ting or dining room of the mouse WAS
sjar, and in the sittiug-rOom the upper
sash OF the window had been lowered.
as was the custom. In the middle OF
the night the little girl cried out Ma,
ma, Kitty is biting me-" The mother
went 10 the crib, and on examining her
found that the large Toe OF one Uf her
feet had been bitten, and that Just
above the ankle there were two more
wounds from which the blood flowed
freely. She was quite alarmed, know
ing that there was no cat about the
house, and she was quite peFplexed to
fird out what had bitten her child.
Stopping the bleeding, she was about
placing her in her own bed, when she
asked to be allowed to remain in her
crib, where she could play with kit
ty." The father, on coming home in
the morning, was Informed OF what had
transpired in the night by his wife, and
he examined the wounds on the legs OF
his daughter, and at once said he
thought them TO have been produced
by rat.
During the day ueIghboring woman
said she had observed on more than
one occasion large rat climbing tothe
outside OF the window sill. The fol-
lowing night the door between the
bedroom and sittingroom was closed.
When all had become quiet rat was
heard gnawing at the threshold of the
door. The husband was informed OF
the matter in the morning and deter
mined, il possible. to calch the rat.
This he did, two or three mornings
afterwards-seeingt the rat enter the
room by means of the window, which
was lowered from the top. HoistinR
the sash, he let himself into the house
by the door and with a club dispatched
it. He threw II into the yard where his
wife could see 1t when she arose. Short
ly after the usual time of rising, the
little girl came into the house with the
dead rat rolled up in her apron and
complaining bitterly to her mother be-
cause Papa had killed her kitty" All
day she mourned over the loss of her
pet, and from what can be gathered
from her there is not much doubt that
she had been in the habit OF playing
with it in the day time and its sharing
her bed with her nights until its biting
her brought about its death.

A LETTER from the Plains says. ..It
would be as easy to capture ones
shadow as to capture an Indian on the
Plains in summer. That season is his
heaven. Then his pony is fat and fleet;
and he himself needs nothing but Il
shirt-the last pow-wow we had with
Pawnee Killer, on the Republican, his
costume consisted of a very short shirt
and very broad brimmed hat; he
feeds upon the buffalo, and his habita-
tiJn is the boundless Plains. Our at
tempts at lighting Indians this summer
have been so fruitless and so ridicu-
lous that the savages begin already,
and not without cause, to regard us
Weaker than a woman's tear,
Tanner thnn sheep, fonder than ignorance;
Less valiant than the virgin in the night,
And skilless rs unpractieed Infancy"
The sooner the summer hostilities are
ended the better for the reputation OF
the troops engaged and the purse of the
Government"

minder to ex- Governor Perry:
The point which I would first draw
your attention Is, that the ReconstTuc-

a law made for you, not an agreement
with yon; and that TO talk about ac-

gotiating with the Federal Government,
Is simply absurd. You might as we'll

THE Vancouver Register is jubilant
over the business prospects opened by
the purchase of fhe Russian possess
sions. 1t says a new life and impulse
are given to enterprise on the northern
Pacific coast; that vessels are building
for the fishing trade; that the manufac-
ture of salt foI curing fish can be car
ried on with great advantage, and that
all the advantages enjoyed by the hsh-
cries in the Atlantic may be safely ex-
pecied in the business. To begin with,
the fish are pronounced plenty and su-
perior to the Atlantic cod; the drying
properties of the air are we'll adapted to
the curing of them; Indians, expert
fishermen, can be cheapIy hired for the
work, and there is less interruption
from gales OF wind than on the Great
Banks. The Register makes out good
case for that country, and we have no
doubt that Yankee enterprise will do
ali it can towards realizing the hopes
expressed.

A MEMPHIS merchant was travelling
through Indiana, lately, and at jack
sonville he got into an awkward POSI-
ton through his kindness. While the
cars were waiting, a woman came to
him and wanted him to hold her baby
while she got her baggage checked. He
"kindIy" consented. The woman was
an unusual time checking her baggage.
The whistle sounded a warning. The
bsby-hoIder must take the cars. What
should he do? At this critical juncture
of affairs he espied the woman who had
committed the precious charge TO his
care, at some distance of, proceeding
from the depot at rapid pace. Hur-

The recent decision of Judge Ship
man, in New York, as to the value of
the pound sterling, once more directs
public attention to the complicated and
confusing method of reckoning this
portion OF our foreign exchanges. The
custom of reck oning the pound sterling
at 81 "A originated in causes now ended,
and generally forgotten, and seldom
understood The price of gold, upon
which Judge Thurman based his cHlcu-
lation, is stated to have been 1885
making the price of a sterling bill
S2lSS, at which rate the ego would cost
SS74. The pound sterling is worth S4 SO,
but instead of saying 1T is reckoned
ut S4 A, and the dealer in exchange adds
to this certainipremium, often 1925,
making the result the same as II recS-
oned simply At the real par value
of 81 So. The process is circuit
ous, and there is no good reason
for it, Iu the first place the
drawer names rate, which must be
multiplied with the conventional value
OF the pound before II can be paid for in
federal money. If the banker offered
exchange at 81 So it would be very easy
both to understand and compute II.
For every pound to be paid in London,
four dollars and eighty-hve cents is de-
mHnded here. But instead of this the
banker will offer his bill at lOgI, which
means the same thing. He means
that, assuming the pound TO be worth
S4 A 4. o, he will sell it at 9E premium;
and multiplying 81 "A 40 by 1926 pro-
duces 81 S5 Why not say "a SIS at once?
Because he has fallen into the rut OF the
other system and cannot get out. Our
other exchanges are easily computed.
A ndred:centimes:make franc, and
when bill in Paris is quoted at 500, it
is meant that the dollar here will bring
five francs and twenty centimes there,
and SO on. When Prussian thalers are
quoted at 70, II is meant that thaler in
Prussia will bring - cents here. Other
similar instances nigh: be quoted.

THE Doom OF THE HIGH HAT,-La-
dies, who always take an interest In
what their admirers wear, will be glad
to hear that the high hat for gentlemen
the "stove pipe" to call it by the
slang term-is doomed. Every season,
it falls in hight and the brim widens;
and In the course of a few more changes
OF fashion, 1t will be replaced by what
the London Spectator promises and
prays fora reasonable head dress-a
low stiff sombrero of silk covered card
board, with soft interior edges, than
which no one could wish for a more
reasonable or more becoming covering.
It will be light, for there will be little OF
1t; will shade the eyes and neck-far
more i'm mportant-becRuse It has broad
brim; can be taken OF for bow, be-
cause those brims are stiff; and will not
heat the head, because 1t has the single
merit of the old haiti admits of
scientific ventilation. In England the
revolution in hats is Ii Sely 10 be effect
ed sooner than in this conntry-for
there the Prince OF Wales, who leads
the fashion, and has been reducing his
hats in hight at the rate of about half
an inch month lately, win effect the
reform. Here, democratic though we
be-there can be no democracy OF fash
ion-although it is pretty certain that
whatever becomes the "fashion" the
majority of people will wear!

TANA.-The Montana Post says: "He-

ly arrived from staid and solemn viii
lages IN America, undoubtedly pre-
sented strange and startling anomaly.
The streets were crowded with miners,
tender feet, 'other siders, freight teams,
bull-whackers, fast horses and buggies
and faster horsemen, all crowding and
jostling each other in their desire to get
to where the biggest crowd was assem-
bled. The various auction stands were
surrounded by eager and attentive
audiences,' trying TO get the best of the
very bad bargains that were offered,
while the hoarse and resonant cries and
oaths of the horse and other autioneers,
together with the music tmusicl shades
OF Paganini and of ThalbergD of the
gaming saloons mingled in a startling
refrain with the solemn tones of the
'church-going bell.' In reviewing the
scene could not but speculate as to
the straight and narrow path we read
about, and wonder IL it led through a
mining camp to Paradise"
