How SoIdiers Fared I'm ,1G.

Some curious old papers, some of
them on State affairs, have come into
the possession Of The Secretary of War at
Washington. Tic following is sadly
interesting for the disclosure it makes
OF terrible priyations in the patriot
cause in the Revolutionary DAYS. such
as finally tempted too successfully one
brilliant officer to become traitor. Ar
nold's suffering does not excusc him.
for the rest suffered as much as he. and
remained true.
Among the papers is letter of BEN
edict Arnold, written inst thirtv.four
DAYS before he consigned bis name to
infalny. II is dated at West Point, and
addressed to Colonel Pickering, quar-
tcrmaster at Philadelphia. II tells a
SAD story of the privations of the Revo-

Is not tent of any kind Of camp equi-
page at this poverty-struck place -
mat "the quartermaster's department is
entirely empty, and that there is only
one camp-kettle to eighty or one hun.
dred men,"
lie complains very bitterly of this
state of things, and begs Colonel Pick
ering to find a remedy, and adds a
postscript to his letter, in which he saws :
There is not quire of paper or arti-
eie oil stationary at this post or in the

A CHECK FOR ONE CENT.-The
Washington correspondent of the Phila-
delphia Times writes: 'The much
abused George G.. Gorham, whose
spirits are of the highest and whose
friendships are of the strongest, closed
his accounts as secretary of the Senate
on Tuesday. After eleven years SER
vice, during which he has disbursed
many millions-ior the United States
Senate is the most expensive legisla-
tive body on earth he closes his ac-
count for the first time. II was found
at the department that there was one
cent owing him. In an official letter,
which had to be copied, recorded, num-
bered, etc, the United States Treasurer
notified Gorham of the balance ON set
tlement, and requested that he would
draw his check for the amount. With
the same precision as though 81 200, 900
was Mt stake the check was drawn. A
messenger conveyed ii to the Treasury.
The books were searched to see If the
amount was due to Gorham's credit,
and then the cent was paid-a great,
big copper one, which Gorham pro.
poses 10 keep for luck forever. II
seems that had he not drawn the bal.
ance it would have gone on forever
among the liabilities of the Treasury.
and occasioned any amount of trouble
to tho clerks.

DESPERATION OF TRAMP.-It was a

preston of face, that entered Suttcr
street bar room the other day, holding
in his hand n small, battered red canis-

grant, holding the can within an inch of
the open stove. "Pm so miserable. I've
almost mind TO blow myself up.S
"Dare you to do it," said one of the
bystsnders, winking at the crowd.
The wretched party gave a sad, lin
gering look at the poured out LIQUOR, as
that he might ne'er beholdt again, and
tossed in the can.
The yell that whole crowd gave as
they started for the other side of the
street was heard on Telegraph Hill.-
When they filed in about ten minutes
after the empty can did not explode
there were four empty glasses on the
counter, the lunch table was an amply

THE NERVES AS A SOURCE OF TRIAL
Instead of being vehicle for agreeable SEN
sations some peoples nerves are most
distressing endowment. Such sufferers, it
will usually be found, are dyspeptic, lack
vitality and flesh. What they need is more
vigor. There is means of obtaining it, if
they will but avail themselves of that
means. 1t is Hostetter's Bitters, a tonic
which experience has shown to be of the
utmost service to the debiitated, nervous
and dyspeptic. Digestion restored upon a
permanent basis by the Bitters, ministers
as it should to the wants of the system,
and its integral parts, Of which the nerves
are one of the most important, are properly
nourished and invigorated, The various
functions are thus more actively discharged,
and obstacles to return to health re-
moved by increasing vitality. Instead of
nervous postrations, new strength and
vitality will be infused into the whole
motive machinery.
