Longevity of Pensioners.

They also live to ripe old age in Can
ada, the war pensioners upon the Gov
eminent. They, too, are survivors of
the war of 1872. The total force in SER
vice was AZ, 600, and they " fit into" fifty
seven battles, skirmishes, and engage
ments of some sort, out of which they
figure up thirty eight victories. OF the
10000, 1854 survive to receive their
pensions regularly. The two youngest
have attained the age of but seventy four
years, and have prospect of collecting
their pensions for the next dozen years.
Then there are 800 aged 80 ;250 aged
Il; ITO aged So; 119 aged 80
and over 100 years old. A study
of our own pension rolls would
go even further to prove that, to be
made sure of the longest life, it is
only necessary to go into the army. If
you fall, you will be enrolled among
''the immortal few" etc., and should
you escape that immortality you will
gain the next thing TO it, in living on the
pension rolls to the ripe old age of ninety,
one hundred, or somewhere thereabouts.

Adventures of a FOrger.

The way of the transgressor is hard.
Charles G. Fuller, President of the Cha
pin Paper Company of Norwich, Conn.,,
Just arrested for $4,000 forgery,
hasn't had a very good time since he
cleared out, last June. He says that he
had but 50 when he left, and he has since
been very destitute, and has spent much
of the time in tramping. He travelled
about Pennsylvania and Delaware, part
of the time picking peaches At seventy
five cents a day, and part of the time
doing odd jobs as carpenter. He met
a man who had held a responsible posi-
ton in a Southern State, but had been
obliged to flee to escape punishment foi
fraud. They formed regular partner
ship as tramps, and each gave the other
half of what he had. Fuller's partner,
however, at last betrayed him for the re-
ward that had been offered. Fuller now
says he wants to hide his head in the
State prison as soon as possible.

Oh. MOnan.

She was a pretty girl, nicely dressed,
and she sat diagonally in rear corner
of the street car, occupying about two
seats. Another lady came in, and turn
ing herself sideways, sank into swan
like dip across the three adjoining seats
The young lady in the corner looked at
the others back, and shifted with her
left nostril; looked at the languid con-
tempt of the attitude, and shifted with
her other nostril; then regarded the lady s
costume, and finding it elegant, smiled
with both nostrils. Beginning to get
mad, she rubbed her nose violently, first
with the second joint of her forefinger,
and subsequently with her handkerchief.
Slowly their eyes net. One flashed un-
dying hate and scorn; the other ira
dated lofty pity and disdain. They had
never met before, and now they met for
only moment. What had happened

Increased Railway Earnings.

The aggregate gross earnings of the
twenty leading railways during the
month of March were $5, 446, 429. This
shows an increase of 1886, 426 over the
same month last year. The improve
ment amounts to Al per cent. and GER
tainly shows an encouraging gain in
business. The total gross earnings
of these roads for the last quarter
amount to $15, 1874, lit, which is an in
crease of 81, 481, 1886, or over 10l per
cent. over the earnings of the CORE
spending period in 1876. The revival of
trade is necessarily slow, but these fig.
ures show that it is actually taking
place, and perhaps before the year ends
our merchants will have nothing TO COM

The officer congratulated him on his

A Wife's Dream.

A singular fultillment of dream oc-
Cured at Nevada City recently. The
wife of Mr.. Scott, one of the owners OF
the Last Chance mine, had a dream on
the night previous that her husband was
killed by having his head struck by q
rock in the mine, and when the signal
was given that blast was to be fired he
and Mr.. Foote, both of whom were
holding the hydraulic nozzle, retired to
a distance of $50 feet. But for some
reason Scott became uneasy and tried to
get Foote to go still further away, con-
cealing himself behind tree, instead OF
standing beside Foote as usual. When
the blast went off a flying stone struck
Foote on the head, killing him instantly.
Mr.. Scott is firmly convinced that if he
had not remembered his wife's dream
and got behind the tree he would have
been the man killed.

At 3 a. m, August 8, 1864, that por-
ton of Admiral Farragut's feet which
had been previously selected to pass
Forts Morgan and Gaines, and to attract
| the Confederate iron-clad Tennessee
and gunboats in Mobile bay, got under
way and proceeded according to orders.
AS the leading vessels got within range
of the guns of the fort, water and light
house batteries, and both sides had
opened fire, Admiral Farragut assembled
the starboard mizzen-rigging (shrouds)
of the Hartford, to about midway be-
tween the mizzen-top and hammock rail,
or poop-deck of the vessel. The star
board side of the vessel faced the
enemy's batteries, while the enemy's
vessels were nearly ahead, and firing
raking shot.
The late Capt. Percival Drayton, then
in command of the Hartford, and ut the
same time Admiral Farragut's chief of
staff, observing the position of the Ad-
miral in the mizzen-rigging and nearly
over his head, and considering the posi-
ton very dangerous one, owing to the
great liability of the rigging (shrouds)
to be cut from under his feet or above
WhOiO hC Wuc hOloluB Oll Will OlO uhuu,
very quietly ordered the Signal Quarter
master, whose station in battle was near
him, to get.a piece of small stuff (small
line or rope) and to go up and pass it
around the Admiral's body and some of
the shrouds. The duty the Quarter
master performed 80 quietly and gently
that the Admiral was not at the moment
aware of what was being done for his
safety. These details were given to me
by my late friend Capt. Drayton, few
hours after the action In Mobile bay
ended. The gallant and lamented Capt.
Drayton is not alive to verify his nara
tive, but it is probable the cool old
Signal Quartermaster is yet living, and
doubt not, if he be alive, that he will
confirm what have related.
1t is well remembered in the navy that
in 1862, when Admiral Farragut i'll the
Hartford passed, with part of his then
feet, the Confederate batteries at Vicks-
burg, he took about the same position in
the mizzen-rig of the vessel which he
subsequently occupied in the action in
Mobile bay, on the morning of August
5, 1864, and that during the action a
raking shot or shell struck the forward
part of the shrouds below the Admiral,
cutting away all of them but two or
three. Had all of the shrouds been cut
away at that time, the Admiral would
almost certainly have been knocked into
the river and drowned, or on board and
probably killed by the fall. 1t was,
therefore, very natural that considerate
and careful officer, like Capt. Drayton,
knowing, as we all knew, the Admiral's
apparent total obliviousness of his own
risks and dangers, should have kept
watchful eye upon the Admiral's move
