now HE DoCToRED INDIAN CLAIMS
tFrom the Chicago Tribune)
The proceedings in this Indian pension
business, so fan as Senator Harlan wa,
concerned, appear 10 have been Instituted
IN October, 1866, when Mr.. Iiarlan's cam.
palgn for an election u his seat in the sen.
ale was setting in. One of the first steps
III these proceedings was to appoint the
man Wright to the Office above described
OF special claim agent and attorney.
Another was to order tho commissioner of
pensions 10 inscribc, in an extraordinary
and irregular manner, upon his rolls, the
names Of 4s0 Cherokces, Greeks, and Sem
inoles, as entitled TO pensions ON account
| of alleged service AS home guards during
the war Of the rebellion. The commits
sioner had previously rejected all, or
nearly all, OF these applications as not
coming within the scope of the
pension laws. Added 20 this ground was
the TACT that many of the Indian home
guard had also served the rebel cause dur
ing the war. If this were not enough, the
fact, that Secretary IIarlan's list contained
many "repeaters' ought to give il very
suspicious aspect. Thus we find the la
mented George Scraper credited with two
widows, both of whom ARE named Na-Kee
Scraper, and one minor, Of whom Sally
Scraper is guardian; and it is stated by
some who have gone through the full lists,
prepared las was that already deferred TOT
by Wright, that deceased Indians are in
some cases accredited with as many as
eight widows apiece, all Of whom are
down for pensions. We have no means of
knowing nor has Senator
Harlan when he ordered the
commissioner to enroll the names for. PEN
siOns) whether "Fee-nee. widow vi No-co-
se-go. hc-co,n and Finn Ie-bo, widow OF
Tuscan smicL -oo-cho,' were identical
with "Darkic Pig Mike, widow Of Pig
Mike and polly Tiger the mourning
relic Of Wheeling Tiger. But it is at the
least evident that, amid the cacophonic
mazcs Of such names AS De-ka-ki-yos-k
widow Of Deer-in.the-W Water, Cha-ha-kah,
widow Of Lowly Mddlestriker, Cha-wa-
youke, widow of Opossum Sir Killer,
Sally Going Snake, widow of Going
Snake. Betsy Potato, widow Of Tom Po-
tato, etc, etc, there is ample opportunity
for the exercise of their peculiar skill IN
doctorng claims Of which the man Wright !
seems 10 be 50 richly possessed. That !
this skill was exercised, and that it was !
very materially assisted, by the unbri- !
died authority given to Wright and 9TH

apparent by the report of the commission !
ers already referred to.

whose massive stone and iron walls had

time, were licked up by the terrible
tongues of fame like chaff. Thousands
who at first watched the advancing sheet
of fire from distance had barely time
to flee before it. leaving behind them
their homes and all that had made them
dear. Many who fingered but for mo-
ment to secure some precious keepsake
some household god dearer than all the
rest. were crushed by the blazing raj

INTERESTING EXPERIMENTS.

Barclay, the young man who was hang
ed at Columbus, Ohio. few days since,
for most brutal murder, consented that
the students of a medical college IN that
city could have his body for experiment
tai purposes, and ten minutes after 1t
was cut down it was placed in wagon
and driven rapidly to the college, where
powerful battery had been placed IN
position for the purpose of trying the ef-
feet Of electricity as medium to restore
life. At twenty four minutes to one
o'clock.six students carried the body IN
TO the automical lecture room of the col
lege. where were assembled the students
and all the prominent medical gentlemen
of the city. 1t was then taken from the
coffin and placed upon the operating ia

to be dilated and the face discolored.-
The body was stripped of its clothing
and at thirteen minutes to one o'clock,
thirty seven minutes after death, the stu

The Merry Heart.

'Tis we'll to have merry heart,
However short we stay;
There's oisdom in a merry heart,
Whate er the world may say.
Philosophy may lift its head,
And find out many flaw
But give me the philosopher
That's happy with straac
If life brings US but happiness,
1t brings us, we are told,
What's hard to ba.y, though rich ones try
With all their heaps of gold:
Then laugh away, let others say
Whate'er they will of mirth
Who laughs the most, may truly boast
He's got the wealth of earth.
There's beauty in a merry heart.
A moral beauty too:
1t shows the hearts an honest heart,
That's paid each man his due,
And lent share of what's to spare,
Despite of wisdom fears,
And made the cheek less sorrow speak
The eyes weep fewer tears.
The sun may shroud itself in cloud,
The tempest wrath begin
1t finds spark to cheer the dark.
It's sunlight is aoithin!
Then laugh away, let others say
Whate'er they will of mirth;
Who laughs the most may truly boast
e He's got the wealth of earth.

struction shrouding the country for miles
around with the gloom of desolation.-
Her beautiful dwellings, her magnificent
public buildings, her costly churches,
were unsightly heaps of ashes. The la
Dor of years had ended in naught. A
few hours before she had stood in her
pride, queen among the cities of the
West. Now, discrowned and stripped
of her glory, she sat among her ruins,
helpless for the time, and destitute of
everything save energy and hope.
But as the calamity was unparalleled,
so was the universal and spontaneous
outburst of sympathy that followed it.
The sun of that terrible day had not
yet set when every telegraph wire lead
ing to the devastated city was crowded
"''i' '',~eennnS of GOOD will. and better
still, with promises Of immed1ate neip.
Supplies came up to the grand centres
with almost inconceivable rapidity from
every town and village in the land, and
were forwarded without the loss of an
hour to the waiting sufferers. Money,
clothing, provisions, books and even toys
for the homeless little ones, poured in
in immense quantities, filling huge
freight trains. which rolled impatiently
to their destination as if sharing in the
general feeling of anxious sympathy.
Churches were turned into sewing rooms,
and mothers who were not able to leave
their homes to assist in the labors Of
the gathered multitude, shared the cloth
ing of their children with the shiverine
little ones of the great burnt city. The
electric thrill even ran across the sea
and England, forgetting the petty quar-
rels of diplomacy, came open-handed
, bearing gifts. Chicago at once becam
key for the unlocking of all hearts.
1t has been only year-a short yea
, since that time, and behold the neV

WILD PIGEON ROOST.

Probably the largest pigeon-roost ever
known in Maryland is now existing on
the farm of Mr.. William Schley, near
Oakland, in Allegheny county, as we
learn from the Baltimore Gazette. The
pigeons collect nightly on tract of
ground covered with alder bushes, occu-
pying about six acres. The pigeons first
appeared about ten days ago, iu count
less focks. The Cumberland News says
bent to the ground by the weight of the
birds. Still more pigeons came flying
in from different points. and continued
to settle down upon the already living
mass, until the whole five or six acres
was completely covered. So great was
the number of birds, that they we're
piled upon each other in places to the
depth of from one to two feet. The
pigeons continued focking in and settling
upon and among each other from about
four o'clock in the afternoon until night
fall, when at last they became still and
prepared for their nights rest. With
the early dawn of the morning, flock af-
ter flock arose and flew away in all dl-
, rections, which departures were contln-
ued until about nine o'clock, when the
place was deserted and not a living bird
E to be seen during the remainder OF the
day, until toward evening, when they
+ again began focking back to the same
roosts. and the scenes of the evening be-
:. fore were again to be witnessed.
= All this has occurred daily for the
- past ten days. 1t is estimated that all
, the focks of pigeons for perhaps fifty or
e sixty miles around thus gather at this
.9 one spot each evening during their NIL
gratory visit to the immense forest re-

". these birds have but one roostlng plac

The Lady Ann.
BY JOHN G. SAKE.

She'll soon be here, the Lady Ann,'
The children cried in glee; n
she always comes at four o'clock,
And now it s striking three.
At stroke of four the lady came,
A lady passing fair;
And she sat and gazed adown the road,
With long and eager stare.
The mail the mail 7 the idlers cried,
At sight of a coach-and-four
The mail the mail = and at the word,
The coach was at the door.
Up sprang in haste the Lady Ann,
And marked with anxious eye
The travellers, who, one by one,
Were slowly passing by.
'Alack alack = the lady cried,
He surely named to-day;
He III come tomorrow, then, she sighed,
And, turning, strolled away.
Ills passing odd, upon my word
The landlord now began;
"A strange romance that woman, Sirs,
Is called the Lady Ann.
She dwells hard by upon the hill,
The widow of Sir John,
Who died abroad, come August next,
Just twenty years agone.
"A hearty neighbor, sirs, was he,
A bold, hearted man;
And fonder pair were seldom seen
Than he and Lady Ann.
They scarce had been a twelvemonth wed
When = i'll betide the day!-
Sir John was called to 90 in haste
Some hundred miles away.
Meier lovers in the fairy tales
A truer love could boast;
And many we're the gentle words
That came and went by post.
"A month or more had passed away.
When by the post came down
The Joyous news that such day
Sir John would be in town.
Full gleesome was the Lady Ann
10 read the welcome word,
And promptly at the hour she came,
To meet her welded lord.
Alas alas he came not back
There only came instead
A mournful message by the post
That good Sir John was dead
'One piercing shrek, and Lady Ann
Had swooned upon the floor:
Good Sirs, it was a fearful grief
That gentle lady bore n
I'VE raised her up; her ebbing life
Began again to dawn;
She muttered wildly to herself
'r--no nlain Le- ~-;+- --'n~n nono-
"A strange forgetfulness came Ger
Her sad, bewlldered mind.
And to the grief that drove her mad
Hor na0InUtJ was b1i"u'
sAh! since that hour she little wots
Full twenty years are fled !
She little wots, poor Lady Ann
a Her welded lord is dead.
But each returning day she deems
The day he fixed to come;
J, And ever at the wonted hour
: She's here to greet him home.
