The commissioner of pensions has issued cir
cular giving the text of the act of February
l4th, 1871, granting pensions to the soldiers
and sailors OF the war of 1872 and the widows
OF deceased soldiers and sailors, and also the
forms for applications prescribed for persons
interested The commissioner says that under
the act three classes of claims will arise First
The claims of officers, soldiers and sailors who
served for sixty days, and who have never been
pensloned for disability incurred in the United
States service. These will be entitled to full
pension of eight dollars month from Febru-
ary 18th, 1871. Second. The claims of off,
GERS, soldiers and sailors who served for sixty
days, but who are in receipt of pension for
disability incurred in the United States service
These will be entitled to an increase of their
pensions to eight dollars month Third
The claims of widows Of officers, soldiers and
sailors who served sixty days, who were mar
rled to the soldier prior to the treaty of peace
OF December 24th, 1914, which terminated the
war, and who have not since remarked. These
will be entitled to eight dollars a month. IF
the term OF service was less than sixty days.
there Is no claim for pension unless the person
who served has been personally mentioned in
resolution of Congress for some specific service
in said war. In such case he or his widow is
entitled to the same benefits as though he had
served for sixty days. An honorable discharge
In all cases is necessary

Separating the Elections.

In view of the new enforcement act of Con-
gress, with Its numerous pains and penalties.
nearly all the leading Virginia journals, saws
the Bait. Sun, are urging that State law
shall be passed to separate the congressioal
elections from all other elections, so that they
may be held at time when no State elections
are to occur. 1t is probable that this will be
done not only in Virginia, but among the
States generally, as the only means of avoiding
some Of the disagreeable features of the outra-
geous act. New York will perhaps speedily
separate its elections, and we take it that in
time Maryland will do the same should the
Congressional law remain in force. Such q
change on the part of Individual States would
necessitate additional elections in most of them,
but it is far better to submit to that inconve-
nience than that the local elections should be
controlled or interfered with by partisans under
the influence of outside authority, with United
States troops at their individual call, and State
officials entirely at their mercy. adt

Try IT.-Persons who have suffered from
those inconvenient and painful little things
called styes will be glad to try the following
recipe, which We clip from an exchange:
Ten grains of calomel, thoroughly mixed in
a teaspoonful of lard, makes a salve that will
prevent the development of stye, and viii
give great relief even after it has appeared.
The same paper also says that roasted on
ion, tightly bound upon the wrist, will in few
moments cure the worst case of toothache.

Anecdote Of Judge Marshall.

An anecdote is told of ChiefJ Justice Marshall,
evincing his ready humor The old gentleman,
like Miles Standish, was very fond of always
doing everything for himself and objecting
strongly to any assistance being rendered him.
One day, wishing to consult some work of ref
erence, he entered the law library and proceed
ed to mount the steps and draw out book
from an upper shelf The books being tightly
packed refused to leave one without the other,
and the chiefjustice, not noticing this, in with
drawing the one he wished, disodged the entire
the floor The librarian Immediately ran to
his rescue, inquiring if the venerable gentle
man was hurt, and offering him assistance in
rising. Let me alone" said the chief.justice /;
let me alone IN a little stunned for the mo-
ment; that's all [ have laid down the law of
ten, but this is the first time tie law has ever
laid me down."

MARRIAGE. In Charlotte Bronte's recently
published letters she thus exrfesses her views
regarding marriage: s.Do noy be over-persua-
ded to marry man you can never respect
do not say love; because, think, if you can
respect person before marriage moderate
love, at least, will come after; and as to in
tense passion, am convinced that is no desi-
rable feeling. In the first place, it seldom OF
never meets with requital; and In the second
place, if it did, the feeling would only be tenn
porary, it would last the honeymoon, and then
perhaps, give place to disgust. Certainly, thi,
would be the case on the mans part; and or
the woman s-God help her if she is left tt

AN ApACnE GIRLS REVENGE

A singular case Of jealousy, which re-
Gently occurred in Western Texas, is
given in the Ell Paso Herald l; seems
that young man named Chandos, a IA
tive Of Rochester, in England, had made
love to q beautiful half-breed girl, Is
years of sge. The girl was half Apache
aud half French. In addition 70 her
great beauty, she was intelligent, viva
ci0us, and as active and alert as an ante
lope. S19 was gentle and affectionate,
and no one suspected her of possessing
the terrific passions which jealousy sub
sequently aroused in her bosom. The
English lover unfortunately became &C
quainted with q while girl named Wilson,
who was on visit from Southern Sis.e
TO some friends in Western Texas. Miss
Wilson was beautiful and accomplished,
and her civilized traces proved more than
a match for the barbarOus attractions OF
the Apache girl.
The result was that Chandos deserted
the beautiful half breed, and became en-
gagged 10 Mss Wilson. The wedding day
was Sc. On hearing of the fsithlessness
of her lover, the hitherto undeVeioped in
slincis OF Apache blood were reused to
s,ll their savage fury in The breas! of the

ed. She was arrested few hours after
wards, and confined for the night in an
Old log cabin in default of prison. Bat
her friends rescued her and she fled to the
wilderness, there to take up her abode
with her mothers wild kindred.
