A LEGEND.

A day or two since II stranger in the
city was making inquiries about the
"Pontiac Elm" at Bloody Run, and
finally accepted the ofFer of bootblack
to 60 up Jefferson avenue and point
out the historic relic. When the tree
had been looked over and the ravine
explored the stranger asked:
"Boy, are there any legends con-
nected with this spot2"
81 guess there's one," replied the
lad.
"What is itF
"Well, as near as / kin remember, q
feller got a boy to come up here with
him and look around and answer ques.
tions, and when they got back down
town he never paid the boy cent

"He didn't. And what happened tc
himl asked the stranger as he lifted
his left eye."
"He got drowned the same night
while the boy is rich and high-tonec

"Hum !" mused the stranger, as h,

THE NEW PENSION LAW.

The Commissioner Of Pensions, Hon.
J. A. Bentley, has issued instructions
to those entitled to arrears of pensions
under the present act of Congress. The
act provides that all pensions granted
or account of death or wounds received
or diseases contracted in the army, in
the service of the United States during
the war of the rebellion, which have
been granted, shall commen. from the
date of death or discharge from the ser.
vice of the United States. Those whose
pensions were granted previous to the
passage of the act (Jan. 25th, 1879,
and who have arrears due them, viii
not require the assistance of a claim
agent to obtain the amount due. All
correspondence from the Pension office
i'll relation to any claim for arrears will
be with the person entitled to pension,
anu no claim agent will be recognized
A letter addressed to the Commissioner
of Patents, signed by the person who
was in recei ipt of the pension before the
passage of the above act, and two wit
nesses, in the presence of a magistrate,
will be the only fern of application re
ceiVed. Upon this the rights of all
persons concerned will be adjusted.
The pension certificate must not be sent
to the Commissioner, but should be ex-
hibited to the magistrate. The follow
ing is tho form OF the application pre-.
scribed by the Commissioner:
| To THE COMMISSIONERS OF Pensions:
L., a pensioner under pension
certificate No. =, hereby apply for the ar
rears due me under the act granting ar
reIrs of pensions, approved Jan. 25. 1879.

The Commissioner gives notice tha
no claims for arrears, under the act
of the present session, due to i
pensioner already on the rolls, will b,

! propriated the money for the paymen
of such claim. Applications may, how
ever, be filed, but they will receive nj
answer until the claim is adjusted
These rules the Commissioner has es
tablished to prevent the work of his OF
fee being blockaded by unnecessar,
correspondence.

AT Los Angles, Cal, in almost every
yard you behold the mature orange
trees, or those soon to come into bear
ing; in fact, the mania has become SO
great that they are now set out on the
sidewalks in lieu of shade-trees. AT
the mission San Gabrial, nine miles
from, this city, there seems to be the
greatest rivalry as to who shall have
the greaUest number and the kindred
lime and lemon trees, and every avail
able acre is being used for the purpose
1t is the same at Riverside, near Col
ton, with the difference that few of the
trees are yet bearing. The young trees
there are counted by the thousands, ,anC

clsr rOrs GIRL a cn.Scr,
AUNT FLORA.


If one has never taught her little
daughter to dress her own dolls, as well
as well to make quilts, sheets, pillows
and shams, she can have but little idea
of the benefit Of such instruction.
Little girls desire to have their dolls
dressed neatly, as well as fashionably,
and If they are shown how to make
the garments and furnished with suita-
bic material, they wiz do it themselves,
at an early age [ knew a little girl
who often astonished her mother with
new, stylish hat for her doll, which
she had made from scraps her mother
had given her. In this way she learned
to fit and make the wardrobe for her
doll, and when the doll was laid by she
began making her own clothes, so that
at the age of fourteen years she could
make herself a suit throughout.
When | see mothers sit up half the
night to dress the dolls for their little
girls, l cannot but think, what a pity
mothers win not be wise. and teach
them to do it themselves. The chill
dren would really enjoy 1t better, and
it makes their little fingers skillful, and
they feel such an interest in having
each doll look as neat as those owned
by their playmates. l know this to be
the case. Will not some one try and
report for the benefit of other mothers
and daughtersl

THE PRESIDENTIAL FIELD,

The editor of the Post, the Demo-
cratic organ ut Washington, ce refully
summarizes his walks and talks with
politicians at Washington and saws:
''rhe contest for the Republican
Presidential nomination two years
hence seems to have already practi-
cally narrowed itself down to Grant.
Blaine and Washburne. The two
former stand as the principal active
competitors, and the latter as the
most distinguished representative of
the grand army of compromise can
didates. Grants strength lies in the
South, Blaine's in the North
and Washburne's in less positive
sort of way everywhere" Then,
after analyzlng the strength of each,
he says: "Grant, however, is al
most invincible from the fact
that the tremendous influence
of money power is on his side.
The influence really brought the
nomination of Hayes in 1876. The
power that is to prevent it from ac-
complishing the same in 1880, with
the name of Grant substituted fol
that of Hayes, has yet to assert it.
self Such are the probabilities and
possibilities bearing upon the case
The nomination of Grant in 1886
seems, therefore, from present indi
cations, to be inevitable. He will
accept, of course. },

THE winter scenery about niagara
Falls has, perhaps, never before been
equaled, though always grand and
in keeping with the magnificence of
Niagara, and its awful chasm of
seetbing waters above the falls. The
frost-work wrought by the great ar
lists fingers clothes the entire
scenery for miles around in handi-
work of superlative beauty, and has
spanned the mighty chasm with a
bridge more wonderful in its creation
OF dazzling spars and segments and
floors of crystal than the world has
ever seen.

Too MERCBNARY.-Ther are, at the least
calculation, two score of men and women in
this city who are to- day holding Sierre Ne
vada and Union stocks, which cost them all
the way from $50 to $40 per share. During
the past few days they could have realized a
profit of from 100 to 800 per cent on their
Investments, but they would not sell, and
now the stocks have fallen back nearly to the
original purchase figures. In consequence,
there is much walling and complaining about
bad luck and such. If these people had not
been so mercenary, and been satisfied with
what is considered an enormous profit in
legitimate business, how nicely they would
have been situated now; but it looks as if it
really requires more courage 20 sell than to
buy stocks
A Rich JoKE.-Among the passengers of

was currently reported yesterday that the ore
body had been run through and found not to
be as rich as was at first supposed but no
credit can be attached to such street reports
The most reasonable theory is that the shorts
of last week have not been filled, and conse-
quently the clears" have been straining every
nerve to consummate yesterdays break and
perhaps the Nevada Bank is not prepared to
let the stock rise to the figures warranted by
the indisputable merit of the mine. What
the coming week will bring forth no one can
