His OpJEorIoN TO THE ROUTE

HIS OBJECTION TO THE RoUrE,-
1t was at Mount Airy, the highest
point on the Atlanta and Charlotte
Air Line Railroad, one Of those
bitter cold days recently, whom the
snow was falling after the most
energetic fashion, that ono Of tho
conductors, making an inspection
of his train, discovered OH board
two ill-favored tramps who, leaving
their Northern hcmes, had turned
their faces toward the Sunny South.
An expression Of despair and re-
signation took possession of their
countenances as they realized that
the time had como when they must
get off and change cars, and tlloy
exhibited no surprise and entered
no protest when the conductor told
them they must ante up with tho
fares or quit the boat. Of course
to anto was entirely impracticable.
and the gentlemen dismounted with
the grace characteristic OF their
profession. But as they landed out
in the snow, which was then six
inches deep and still falling, the
inetfable contempt, the pent-up
indignation, which they had all
along felt but had wisely re-
Trained from expressing, found vent
in tho explanation of one of the
bloats, who bent himself double
with his hands in his pockets and
said to his ''pard" with vehement
jerk of his frowzy red head, sand
begorra, Moick, if I he'd iver
thought they he'd the loike of this

route. I hope / may die if we hadn't

THE PLYMOUTH PEWS.

The cost of running Plymouth
Curch is over $4,000 year. The
total receipts at the annual pew sale
on Tuesday night were $36, 1929.
In 1875 the receipts were over S7O,.
600, and last year they were Sat-
600. Mr.. Beecher's salary of $780,
600 absorbs moro than half the re-
ceipts this year. AS he can make
about $4,000 moro by lecturing,
some Of the brethren think he might
propose a reduction of tho salary,
now that tho curch finances are
running down. But it is hardly
likely that he will do 80. He in
formed them q few days ago that
he had been offered $50, 900 for one
seasons lecture tour in England,
and refused it. Possibly that was
intended as bint that if they want
to keep him in Brooklyn they had
better not say anything about cut>
ting down his salary. Some per-
sons wonder what Brother Beecher
does with all the money he gets. A
great deal of it has gone into his
now house at Peekskill. The cost
of the house is $G0,O00-a pretty
largo sum nowadays. If the house
should ever be offered for sale it
probably would not bring half it's
cost. But the state of affairs in
Plymouth is really not what the
brethren would like. The enor-
nous decline in pew premiums in
four years is beginning to create
uneasiness for the future. Even
tho staunchest supporters of the
pastor have not come down very
heavily in their offerings. Clafin,
White, Beach, Sage and several
other pillars Of the plymouth edi,
flee pay only about half as much
this year as they paid in 1877.
Why their zeal has declined I can
not say. They are still rich enough
not to miss few hundred dollars.
and it is thought strange that they
have come down fifty per cent. but
no doubt they have reasons. Per-
haps they think it is time for the
pastor to take a hand in sustaining
the church by volunteering to
knock off part Of his big snlary.
The great decline in receipts shows
that there will have to be q knock
ing off somewhere.--Nea York

Il TERRIBLE MARCH,

Nib 1eoeo OflluIu, WHO O1 SapG
D. A. Griffith, Third United States
Infantry, sonds to the Eogle IN
account Of the terrible march Of
the regiment to their now post at
Missoula. The account says: "The
regiment, which had been stationed
in the South for some years, was
! ordered to the Pennsylvania coal
region during the strike riots last
summer, and was then suddenly
ordered West to assist in subduing
Chief Joseph and his Nez Perces
Indians. They went to Corinne,
U. H., and from there were ordered
to Montana, several of the CONS
panies being ordered to Helena, and
the balance Of the regiment to the
new post ut Migsoula. The tramp
of over six hundred miles was
terrible. The men of the command
were ill-prepared, by reason of
their long residence in New Orleans,
tor tho rigors of early winter in
the Rocky Mountains, and their
sutferings were acutely intense.
During q part of the journey they
were exposed to a violent snow>
storm, with the thermometer fifteen
degrees below zero. Not an officer
or soldier in the regiment was pro i.
vided with overshoes or gloves.
Not few of the men were nearly
barefooted, and, added to the agony
of freezing feet, was the additional
torture of being forced to grip the
cold steel of their muskets with
their naked hands day after day.
When the regiment left New Orr
leans there was not five dollars in
possession Of officers and men.
The women and children belonging
to the command, including tho
wives and offspring of the officers,
numbered thirty-two, and trans
portation for these, of course, had
to be secured at individual expense
1t is said but for the timely aid of
friends, who, understanding the i'm.
pecunioUs condition of The rank and
file, advanced a little money out Of
their own private means, these
dependent and destitute followers
OF the camp must have suffered
abandonment in the time of their
greatest need. On the march
northward to Corinne several of the
women end children fell sick under
the terrible exposure, and for weeks
their lives were almost despaired Of
The transportation outfit allowed
the command wa3 limited to three
ambulances. As there was not q
dollar Of money in the regiment.
the simplest wants of the sick could
not be gratified, as tho isolated
ranchmen and hunters in that
country refused to part with any
thing when the cash was not forth
coming. Finally, rs tho regiment
was nearing the end of their march,
ragged, footsore, penniless and
shiveling, some of the officers sold
their pay-rolls for cash, but not
without the sacrifice of discount
of twenty-five per cent"

VIRGINIA STATESMEN ON THEIR Mus

cLE.-Thursday evening Nh un-
pleasantness occurred between Gen.
Bradley T. johnson md Col. Will
liam E. Hinton while they were in
committee meeting in the capitol,
General Johnson was chairman OF
the committee, and Colonel Hinton
rose to make some remarks. The
parties were not on very friendly
terms, and Hinton thinking that
Johnson treated him with contempt
in not recognizing him on the floor,
made some offensive expressions.-
Johnson hurled back the epithet,
whereupon Hinton few at the
Chairman, and the two had it hand
to hand. Neither drew clare3, for
they were soon separated by other
members of tho committee.
General Johnson is the leading
politician of Richmond, and is
stalwart man Of one hundred and
eighty; Hinton occupies a promi-
nent position in Petersburg, and is
q well-built man of ono hundred
and sixty pounds. Both are promi.,
nent society men. They wanted to
resort to the code, but friends in.

now thought to bs at an end.
Hinton is considered dangerous
man.--Richnnond Pooer.
A man whom Dr.. Chalmers got

school, kept his eyes wide open

again, praying all the way. After
that, he was master of the situation,
for the boys thought that man
who could watch and pray like that,
could not be put down.
Boswell once asked johnson if
there was no possible circumstance
under which suicide would be
justifiable. NO." was the reply.

storm covered an area about the width Of the State

where causing destruction and disaster. II ia i'm.

destroyed and one train ditched. Some damage
Is reported to the road bed Of the Valley Road

prehend this Is not serious. At Akron the losses
are large, probably aggregatlng $4,000. At Min.
