Secretary sherman ON the Condition Of

served our country. In a stricter sense

islied with such a rule, and then VIC would
have had no such sudden and dangerous
demand upon our resources. This bill
was not demanded by the pensioners, but
BY the Claim agents, and will work great
inequality Those whose disability was
not developed for years after the war will
get Us much as those who suffered daily
from wounds and sickness"
Can you pay arrears Of pensions with.

done by borrowing, and Congress has re.

partment had Micawber's remedy, 10 pay

without money or the authority to give n
note is financial problem that cannot
solve. All that can be done is to paw as

GARFIELD'S HARANGUE.

a Herald Washington correspondept
says OF Mr.. Gartield's speech:
Indeed, the republican members
thought 1t 40 effective that they subscrib H.
ed for 100000 copies of 1t at once for cir
culation through the country. Never.
thelesr, IL must be said that General Gar
leid effort was not an argument, but IA
harangue. III did not discuss the merits
OF the question at issue, except inciden-
tally, but dealt largely in denuuclation
de asserted that the purpose OF the demo-
Gratis was to force the executive Ia an
prove OF measures To which lac is opDosrd
or OF starving the government. But
General Garheid cannot lie supDosed Ia
know either the Presidents mind or the
nlehtiohs OF the democrats and for ali
he knows the President may be ready tn

Intend To withdraw their legislation if
lie objects and vetoes. When, there
fore, he denounced the democrats AZ
revolutionary he WAS not arguing, but
only haranguing. When he asserted thai

le6j for the measure they were now re-
1 p"allng he was corrected by Mr.. Wood
! ana others, who explained that The
| democrats then supported tins as IA chol ce
between this and worse Droposi,ion.
and il seems that Mr.. Garfield was here

J days of 1851, the results OF the war. and
i the foily ana lnluulty of the men who

But he did dot use an argument from be

INToLERANcE.-The Leesburg (Va.)
Washinstonian states that at Waterford,
I.oudoun county, Va, last Thursday
evening, the Rev. John ii. Russell, col
ored minister from Mississippi, who was
accompanied by Rev. A. H. Tilghman, a
colored Baptist minister. delivered lee
ture, in which he told his colored breth-
rem that they must live and succeed in life
by their industry, good behavior and at-
tention to business-that they should
not be led by those who want to be
considered politicians and leaders, who
are ignorant of what they talk about, and
In most cases are now deceiving those
they try to lead for their own benefit.
This very sensible advice was not at all
appreciated, for the ministers were ston-
ell and badly treated by the colored peo-
pie as they were leaving the town, their
carriage being broken by the missiles hurl-
ed at them.

"THE Ice TRADE-MAGNIFIC
HARVEST GATHERED ON THE urDsoE
-Prsspect of Lou Prices aurino the
Coming Summer" is the heading of a
very readable article in the New York
Herald. 1t contains many facts ia regard
to the immense business that has grown
up in this trade. The Knickerbocker
Company with capital of two million
dollars, has % depots and in barges and
stacks Que million tons of ice. 1t keeps
going about 500 wagons and 100 to 1900
horses. 1t appears that the Hudson
River, from New York to Troy, ordi-
narlly supplies an annual ice crop OF
something like 100000 tons. The sum-
Der Of hands employed to gather in tb 5
harvest equals about twelve thousand.
which, supposins them to earn sI.25 a
day each and to work forty days during
the season, would represent a pa,roll of
Sj0O,U00. This does not include horses
wagons, storehouses or materials en-
ployed i'll storing the crop, nor the ex-
tensive business done by the Knicker-
booker Company at Rocklaud Lake, In
the year 1873 there were 1,40s,5oO tons
gathered from the Hudson, labor winch

THE NEW York Doc SHow.-Mr.
Charles Lincoln, who has acted as super
intendent of all the dog shows gwen by
the Westminster Kennel Club, and, for
tina I matter, of nearly all exhibitions of
a similar nature held in the United
States, closed the entry books last even
ing of the third ex hi bition TO take place
in New York, with the largest list ever
known in this country, if not in the
world.
There will be over a thousand dogs ex-
HI bited. OF this number 800 are settlers
and pointers, and this list includes no
less than thirty-nine champions or pre-
vious winners of first prize, a NUN bsr
unprecedented in the history OF dog
shows. No dogs will be received at the
Garden before seven a. IN. on Monday,
9Th inst, or after eight a. IN. on Tuesday,
day, Sth inst. The dogs are divided INTO
two divisions, sporting and nou-sporting.
The first class comprisessettsrs( English,
IRISH aud black and tam, pointers, Chesa-
psake Bay dogs, water sPaniels, cookers
and the various breeds OF field spaniels,
foxhounds, beagles and dachshunds. The
transporting division embraces mastiffs,
st. Bernards, Newfoundlands, Siberian
bloodhounds, greyhounds, deerhountls,
fox terriers, coihes, coach dogs, bulldogs,
ball terriers, pugs and all the various
breeds of terriers. For each of these
divisions three judges have been appoint

REAL ESTATE UNDER THE SnERIFF's

REAL ESTATE UNDER THE SnERrFF's
HAMMER.-The Philadelphia Record
yesterday contained 20 columns of close
ly printed advertisements of Sheriff's
sales Of real estate, embracing 434 sepa-
rate sales. The extravagant legislation
of the city government there, which used
to be model of economy and excellence,
has wrought fearful condition for the
taxpayers and property y-holders. This
only shows how easy it is for a bad party
to destroy an honest, hard orking mans
accumulated labor. The people OF Phia-
dephia have entirely overlooked the
greatest feature Of our republican insti-
tutions, which is the liberty to vote the
party out of power which is found to he
do ng wrong and to FIREPLACE it with its op-
ponent. But partizan zeal and prejudice
has got the better Of the Republicans of
Philadelphia.

"IHE DOLLAR OF THE DADDIEs."-
a few months ago the great ,Repubican
dailles We're frequent in their assertions
OF ridcule Of the 'dollar of the dad
dies" and daily repeated that it would
lot circulate, all the while the trade dol
lar was being put forth. Now, however.
the boot is on the other leg-the COM
muniiy declare the 'dollar of the dad
dies is just what they want, and they
cannot get enough of them, while the
trade dollar is below par and the gold
dollar almost daily refused by CUSTOM
ers of the banks when offered to them
ana even the commercial men of England
are appealing to that government to re-
monetlze silver and make it an unlimited
legal tender, and that its coinage also be-
unlimited. We shall shortly be out the
hands of the brokers and note-sLayers.
aud two years hence, if the rate of inter-

Weekly Press, entitled "The Deaf Man
of Ksnsington," the first chapters of
which appeared in Saturdays edition of
that interesting weekly. The scene of
the story is laid in Philadelphia, and
from the well-kDown brilliancy OF Mr..

sequel will be one of the most thrilling
