The Pension system.

There is now under consideration by
the Committee on Pensions in the lower
house of Congress bill to reorganize
the entire pension system of the Govern
ment. 1t provides for the appointment
of commission of three persons, two
of whom shall be surgeons, in each of
sixty pension districts into which the
United States shall be divided, who shall
make Investigations Of claims for pen
sions, make surgical examinations, and
have power to administer the oath, and
compel the attendance of witnesses.
This is recommended by the Commits
sioner, as the Government in granting
pensions now acts conclusively upon ear
parte evidence furnished by the claim
ant. 1t is also proposed TO have every
pensioner in what are known as invalid
cases examined once in two years, so
that if the invalidity for which the pen
sion was granted, as is often the case,
shall cease to exist, the pensioner may
be dropped from the rolls. This bill is
in harmony with the suggestions of the
Commissioner of Pensions in his last an
pual report.

The Sick Man of the East.

This striking phrase. as applied to
the Ottoman power. is believed to have
originated with the Emperor Nicholas.
In a conversation with the British Min
lister, Sir George Seymour, III 1874, the
Emperor said eve have on our hands
a sick man, very sick man. 1t will be
a great misfortune, tell you frankly. if
one of these days he should happen to
die before the necessary arrangements
were all made. But this is not the time
to speak to you of that" In another in
terview, few days later, Nicholas said +:
Turkey in the condition which l have
described has by degrees fallen into
such state of decrepitude that, as 1
told you the other night, eager as we all
are for the prolonged existence of the
man land that / am as DESTROYS as you
can be for the continuation of his life L
beg you to believe), he may suddenly
die on our hands" A week later the
Emperor resumed the subject, saying !:
81 think your Government does not
well understand my object. l am not
so eager to determine what shall be
done when the sick man dies as / am to
determine with England what shall not
be done upon that event taking place.
1 repeat to you that the sick man is dy-
ing, and we can never allow such an
event to take us by surprise. We must
come to some understanding. The
minutes of Seymour's conversations
with the Emperor were duly transmitted
to the English Government, and were
by the Ministry laid before Parliament
during the discussions that Immediately
preceded the declaration OF war against
Russia. The phrase by which Nicholas
had designated the Turkish power was
so apt that it was at once caught up by
press and people, and "the Sick Man of
the East" became the established sobri-
quet OF the Sublime Porte.

Texas GuanO from Bats.

The Commissioner of Agriculture has
reported favorably upon samples of
guano from caves in Texas, inhabited by
bats. He reports the material as worth
from $15 tn $50 per ton, and comparing
favorably with fish guano for fertilizing
purposes. There are several caves con-
tanning such deposits in Texas, and the
estimated amount of guano is very great
perhaps $4,000 to 10000 tons for
single cave. AS to the bats, they are
simply innumerable; a traveller, who ac-
companied Gen. Ord in a recent visit to
cave near the little town of Salem,
computed the bats there at not less than
30, 600, 900. 1t is an unexplained mys-
terry how such numbers sustain their
collective weight when clinging to the
roofs of the caves. When the bats issue
forth they darkeA the air as if great
volume of smoke was pouring out from
the opening.

Frishtful suaerings OF ships Crew-Can-
nfbsnism on board

nfbmism on Board.
The narrative OF the sufferings of the
crew of the schooner Sallie nj. Steelman,
who recently arrived at New York ON the
schooner Speedwell, is so horrible in de-
tail that it sounds more like chapter
from a sensational sea novel than stern
reality. For seven days they had no
sustenance except coffee, and then one
of the crew was shot in n row, and the
survivors cooked and ate him.
On the afternoon of Dec. 30, when
about twenty miles to the southeast of
Cape Hatteras, they were caught in n
terrific gale from the northwest, and
were literally at its mercy for seventy
hours.
On the 9th of January the colored
man, George Seaman, became almost
delirious and would occasionally leave
his berth and wander around the decks.
Early on the morning of the 30th he
turned out of his bunk and came upon
deck. He first met the Captain, and,
after talking in an incoherent way,
threatened to shoot him. The Captain
walked away from him, and then Seaman
went to the forecastle. When he was
inside he called on Walter Sampson, an
other colored man, and ordered him to
get up or he would shoot him in his
bunk. Sampson got up and put on his
things ard came back toward the door,
but before he got there Seaman put his
hand in his pocket to pull his pistol, and
Sampson shot him.
After being shot Seaman rushed to the
deck, but fell dead in his tracks when
he had gone but few steps. The crew,
it seems, let the body lay for four hours,
during which time the proposition that
the dead mans flesh be eaten was dis
cussed. Then Sampson was given an
AK by the mate, and, approaching the
corpse, severed the head from the body.
The head was wrapped in canvas and
thrown overheard. Barrett then strip
off as much of the flesh from the legs
and trunk as he could, and, when he
finally ceased the butchery, the flesh was
placed in barrel and sailed down, and
the mutilated carcass was wrapped in
canvas and thrown overheard. Some of
the flesh was Immediately thrown into a
pot, parboiled, and then fried in pan.
Most of the crew turned sick at the
thought of such unnatural food, but
their hunger at length prevailed over
their conscience and revulsion of taste,
and they partook of two meals. Their
experience of the cannibalistic repast
was varied, Barrett, who butchered the
corpse, and who ate about pound and
a half of the flesh, declaring it tasted as
"good as any beefsteak he ever eat. "
The necessity for such food ended on the
following day, when, after forty five days
of awful suffering, the crew of the dis
mantled and fast-sinking vessel sighted
the Speedwell, and soon were safe on
board the vessel and bound for New
York

next day, Pope, I'm your man." Every
WELL" said the Pope, "make it next
day." Not long after his return in 1850
a charming young English lady was out
sketching with maid near the Porta
Pia. The Pope came ont in his car
riage, descended, and began to take his
usual walk. The maid, having gone to
ask his blessing, returned to say that
his Holiness would gladly give his hand
to be kissed to her young English mis-
tress. Indeed" said that lady with
toss of her heretical head, Il think my
hand better worth kissing than his. "
The Pope, who had approached unseen
and overheard this speech, laughed
gently and said, to her great confusion,
"That's perfectly true; but you will
allow an old man to bless you neverthe-
less"

June 80, 1877, over 3S,000,OOO articles

the receipts were $697,S There are

of us in the postal savings banks, in
which $50, 900 are deposited. The great
economical point of the Japanese insti-
tuition is the low salaries of the post
masters, which are less than S25 each.

The Fever Tree.

Eucalyptus globulus is the botanical
name of tree of much beauty and me-
dicinal worth. It's uses have not been
as fully appreciated in this country as in
some others. The tree is native OF
Australia, and its history, from its dis
covery in the latter partof the eighteenth
century, has been attended with interest
ing Developments. French and German
sayants have tested its peculiar qualities
and found it preventive of malarial
sickness where it abounds. 1t is called
the fever tree from its medicinal proper
ties, and its cultivation is urged in all
lowland climates, making il specially adj
vantageous in the Southern States. Tho
tree draws moisture from the earth, ow-
inc 10 the evaporating surface of it's
leaves. thus preventing the generation
of marsh miasm. -Gakvestoa Neaos.

Anecdotes OF the Late pope.

The gossips told of his having been a
Free Mason; and of his having fallen in
love with beautiful English girl what
time he wore the breastplate of the
Guarda Mobile. History recorded of
him that he, when elected Pope, warned
his steward: "When / was Bishop I
spent 81 day for personal expenses;
when L was Cardinal L spent 81. 80, and
now that L am Pope You must not go
beyond ST." that he received favorably
the petition of the old market-gardene
who, having lost his horse, walked bold
ly into the palace to beg one from the
Quirinal stables; that, when a majority
of the balls cast into the ballot-box by
his councillors on the question of an
amnesty were black, he placed his white
cap over them and said, "Now they
are all white :" that in the early days
of his administration the rage for the
Papal colors, yellow and white, was such
that boiled eggs were breakfast de
regle with Romans. How he kept to
the last his kindly humor and caustic
wit, is it not recorded my daughter. Z"
he said to a tall American girl, Zone
blessing is not enough for you-I must

The Population Of New York.

The State census of New York for
1875, Just published, gives the total pop
ulation at 4,69S,958. The native born
number 8, 503, $50, the foreign l, 195, 65S,
and the colored 56, 121. Of the total
population of the State 1902, 060 were
born within the State, leaving popula-
ton of /, 496, 1913 as born in other States
and countries. OF the latter 517, 377
came from Ireland, 367,3 1851 from the
German empire, and $1,000 from En-
gland. The growth of the city over
rural population appears to be as marked
in New York as anywhere else. Thus,
while i'll ten years the cities and suburbs
have increased at the rate of "a. 90 per
cent, the rural districts do not appear
to have increased more than 1.99. The
total number of voters in the State is
l, 141, 1852, of whom TAT, $50 are natives
and 1894, 1872 of foreign birth.

Artesian Wells.

Artesian wells number 900 in Califor-
MIA. OF these 300 are in Santa Clara
valley, fifty miles from San Fancisco.
Most of them overflow the surface, and
the tubes average seven inches in dame
ter. The local resources of artesian wa
ter are now mapped opt. Under the
valley runs broad river, coming from
the great lakes of the Sierras, 200 miles
off. The pressure from 1000 feet eleva-
ton suflices to throw the water above the
surface. The depth of the bore runs
from $50 to $50 feet. Outside the
boundaries of this subterranean river
several miles wide-no depth of boring
has struck artesian water. There is rea-
son to believe that every valley in the
State has an underground river, leading
direct from the same lakes, and lying
below the superficial currents that have
no direct connection with any elevated
reservoirs.

THE NORTH WIND.
by ALFRED n. STREET.

Keen comes the current from the north
blue shines the sl< clouds scudding there!
Rouse from your sleep and wander iortn
And taste the sweetness OF the air
Leave the dull city streets behind!
Launch out upon the country wide!
Plunge iu the white sea of the WIND
And swim wherever floats its tide
The north wind, oh how sweet. though cold
The north wind, fount OF Joy and health
Not often has thy worth been told,
Exhaustless though thy stores OF wealth.
The east wind, chilly, vapid, damp;
How weary lag the cheerless hours
TIE sun is but sckly lamp.
But noisome weeds the loveliest flowers.
Rain, rain, throughout the shadowy day,
At night, the same unvaryng doom;
Earth In the irst dull drenched and gray,
And in the last a dungeon-gloom.
The south wind warm, relaxing, flows
The tepd gulf stream of the air
From chimes where endless summer glows,
And flowers are heaped up everywhere.
torpor to the blood 1t yields,
Steals strength from ev'n the strongest frame;
Soth DER its prey its fcepter yields,
And neshy ills their victim claim.
The west wind melts in peach-sweet scents
Breath Of the flowers through downy skies,
AS in IL furl the clouds their tents,
Tho sinews sink beneath its sghe.
The north wind, how its currents draw
Welcome its honest, genial breath
It shases the rosy muscles raw,
But 1t brings life instead Of death.
Hurrah Hurrah! 1t whistles blithe!
Hurrah ! IT stings the tngling flesh
At cuts the skin cuts the scythe
But oh, its kiss, how sweet and fresh
Up, up the screaming, icy crag
Up, though the pine-tree and swings
Though the air streams streams flag,
White with the storm of winters wings.
Up breast the torrent of the blast
Scream with its scream run, plunge and bound
Until your blood pours hot and fast,
And all your frame in bliss Is drowned!
Swing in the hemlock's shivering fringe
hive head-deep in the scattering snow!
Though craven nature shake and cringe,
And fain would drive your steps below.
Shun the red hearth glow more sweet
The north winds freezing pinions bear
Winters warm sparks whistng sleet;
His freside is the open air.
