Remarkable Case Of Forgery

A remarkable Isl of forgery occur
red in the War Department recently.
1t is customary when the term of
service of q private in the army expires
to issue from the Office of the Adjutant
General an order announcing his hon.
orable discharge, and authorizing him
to draw his accrued pay to the date Of
the expiration of his term of service
and mileage back to the place where he
enlisted. On the muster-rolls that
came to the Adjutant Generals office
recently from the Sixth Infantry was
the name Of a private soldier who was
Endorsed as having been honorably dis
charged with pay and mileage rs per
order, which was cited by number and
date. One Of General Townsend's
clerks Immediately saw a mistake, and
looking over the record saw that no
such order had been issued, and that
the date and number belonged to an
other order which had no reference
whatever to this soldiers discharge. 1t
was further discovered that he was not
entitled to q discharge. The company
commander signed who the muster-roll
was ut once notified of the error, but re-
piled in closing a fac-simile of a War De-
parment order which arc printed in a
peculiar form and with n particular sort
oftype. The signature of Adjutant Gen.
eral Townsend was printed as is custom
airy, but the written Endorsement of ASS
istant Adjutant General Pelopze was
very deity forged. BY this forged
order the soldier secured his honorable
discharge from the army, his pay and
mileage, amounting to several hundred
dollars, when he should have served
two years longer. The order must have
been printed in one of the War Depart
ment offices, for the captain who signed
the muster-roll received it in an official
envelope In the usual form, and was
probably done by Il friend of the soldier
to help him out of the army. After
receiving his pay and discharge papers
he disappeared and has not since been
3pen.

The Foe OF Pam.

The friend Of suffering humanity-the
enemy of disease, and the salration of
the patient brute, is MEXICAN Mus
TANG LrNIMENT. There is no sore it
will not heal, no ache or pain it will
not Danish. For accidents in the fam
lily, such as burns, scalds, sprains, cuts,
etc., it has no rival. 1t has saved
more human lives, and restored more
horses, oxen and other cattle, to useful
ness and profit, than all other liniments

Territorial Divorces in Illinois.

Governor Cullom has received a
communication from an unhappy cou-
pie, that Is peculiar in more respects
than one. 1t comes from an individual
whose appellation and habitation are
for the present suppressed-who repre-
sents that he has been married, tut
owing to ''incompatibility' cannot live
with his wife. He journeyed to Utah,
and there procured a divorce, and on
his return to Illinois found an affinity.
who in every way is calculated to
render him happy, and whom he desires
to marry. And, singular to relate, this
affinity is situated precisely as the
writer is. He further represents that
he is informed that Utah divorces have
been declared unconstitutional, and
that if he and his affinity marry, they
will be subject to a prosecution for
bigamy, and ''having very bitter
enemies where we live, are sure to be
indicted" He therefore asks that the
Governor assure him that, incase of in
dictment and conviction, a pardon
shall be Immediately issued, and i'm
mediately upon the receipt of such
assurance the writer proposes ''to have
the ceremony performed and take the
chances!' In order to assure the Gov
n that is it is sail right" he cites
him to a newspaper report that a
couple who were convicted under SINH
lar circumstances in u neighboring
State were pardoned.
The Governor has not concluded to
give the couple the assurance asked.

Pigeon VS.. Locomotive,

A race between a carrier pigeon and
a mail train recently took place from
Dover 10 London. The pigeon WAS of
the Belgian breed, and was ''homed" to
q house on Cannon street. On the train
leaving Dover 1t was thrown from a
carriage, and IA observed to circle
round for a few minutes, when it took
its flight in n line between Sitting
bourne and Maidstone, which would,
of course, be the nearest route to Lon
don. Although the railroad people
were confident in the powers Of their
locomotive 1.-THE Continental Express)
the bird arrived twenty minutes before
the train. The times are not given,
but the pigeon must have fown ut the
xete Of fifty miles an hour.

Long. long ago, when the white
mans foot had never desecrated the
Indians beautiful valley, when the
Yosemites dwelt here in perfect peace
and security, there lived among that
tribe an exceedingly lovely maiden.
She was beloved by every n who
looked on her for the beauty of
her form and face, and the sweetness of
her manner-aII the young warriors
strove for her favor, but she remained
sin maiden meditation fancy Free"
At length the Spirit Of the Night Wind,
charmed by her beauty, wooed her for
his own. He sang softly about the
tent at night, and watched lovingly
over her, but in day time he was pow
erless to speak; but the maiden was
resolute against his suit, and when he
found himself feared where he would
have been loved, his love turned to
hate, and when, one moonlight night,
the maid walked with a noble young
warrior whom she "a learning to love
dearly, the Spirit Of the Night Wind
seized her suddenly away from his side,
and carrying her to the top of the high
rock over which Pohono pours Its
silver stream, he cast her from him,
and she was never heard of more; but
the maids pure spirit must attract the
beauties of nature to her, for rainbows
hover about the foot Of the fall, and
the soft, sweet Spirit of the Days
Wind plays gently with the stream,
swaying it from side to side, and some
times throwing it so far that 1t descends
to the rocks below in n shower of
silver and golden drops falling through
rainbows. So runs the legend. The
Indians have called the fall Pohono, or
Spirit of the Evil Wind, and never
will one Of them venture anywhere
near it when night has come. Yose-
mite Correspondent.

THE y1eHr AFTER CHRISTMAS.

Twas the nightafter Christmas, and all through
The nurses were running-some up and some
down;
The doctor was wanted, for plague ON old NICK,
His visit had made all the little ones sick:
His cakes were so nice, and his pies were so
sweet,
That from morning till night they did nothing
but eat.
Their hearts were all light and peeped out Oh
their eyes,
Their stomachs were tight, and chock-iul Oh
They were merry as larks, had no care for to-
morrow,
Unmindful that Joy is soon followed by sorrow
The lights were all out and the blinds were all
closed,
Papa and mama in deep slum5er reposed;
The cat on the hearth-rug was licking her paws
And seemed to be thinking of old Santa Claus
The fire in the chimney burned cheerful ant
bright
And the frost on the panes shone like crystal
OF light;
The tea kettle bubbling before the warm blaZ'
Was singing the dirge Of once happier days!
The clock ON the mantel had just sounded ona
And announced that another new day had be
gun,
When, bark! from the nursery solo OF means
Then duet Of sobs with chorus Of groans
Broke in on the stiffness and silence OF night.
And threw the whole house in connection an
fright.
The mothers quick ear first encountered tn
sound;
She sprang up in bed and sprang out with
bound
H., &c hofn
And the louder the groans, why the louder he
snore.
And oh such sight wss me- r witnessed before
The children were rolling about on the floor, /,
The bed-clothes were ruined. the carpet wa
spoiled, ':.fsfr;s =,
And their pretty night-dresses were RUMBLE
and soiled
The nurse, all bewildered, was fretting an
and grieving.
The children, in concert. were retching an
heaving;
They kicked, and they twisted, and the
squirmed all about;
She was sure that their bowels were turned il
side out.
"Oh, I'm SO sick I shall die of this PAIN
I'll never touch Santa Claus's candy again.
Poor ma, in fiutter, threw up her sad eyes;
Little Bob, with aplutter. threw up his mine
pies;
And st. Nick, who was peeping, cried out wi
litter,
an everything weet there's drop that is bi
teri
"But cheer, up, my children, you'll soon Oe 6
right
And cracking his whip he was soon out of sigh
The crises were over, and all went to bed;
Sweet slumber soon fell upon each dizzy hea
The 1ifa-h1o0d again freely cOurRqd in the
veins. 81
And dreams of st. Nicholas danced throul
their brains.
With a smile they awoke from their visions
bliss,
As mama on each rosy lip planted kiss;
And they vowed that in spite OF all sickne
and pain
They'd hang up their stockings next Christpa
again.

The Ballimor e.S,oa, commenting upon
Mr.. Gobright's inter view with the Pres
ident, says:
1.-THE indulgence OF such remarks and
ideas by President Of the United States
must be source of humiliation 10 the
p ople of the country. We deeply re-
gret to have to record them. They pres
ent the President so much in the light of
a partisan as to be inconsistent with his
position. When the President makes
invidious discrimination in regard to
the States that voted for Tilden and
those that voted for Hayes, he has only to
remember how great is the popular vote
against Mr.. Hayes to see how little force
there is in what he says, and the chan
ges are more striking in the North than
elsewhere"
