After Pensions,

A despatch from Washington last
Wednesday says Loyal pensioners
throughout the country will be inter-
rested in knowning that the leaders of
the Confederate Democracy in the
House of Representatives are deter
mined that if they can prevent it, no.
loyal pensiouer shall. be paid, unless,
at the same time, class of persons
whose names have been dropped from
the pension rolls because of dlsloyalty
to the Government are restored there
to.
THIS afternoon Mr.. M'Mahon, Of
Ohio, under the instructions of the Ap-
preparations Committee, offered an
amendment to the deficiency bill max
ing an appropriation of several millions
to pay arrears of pensions to applicants
under the act passed a year ago.
Mr.. Reagan, of Texas, who was, dur
ing the Rebellion, a member of Jeifer-
son Davis Cabinet, declared that be
should oppose this amendment unless,
at the same time, the dlsioyal pension
ers above described we're permitted to
share in the benefits of the appIopria-
tion.
Mr.. Hooker, of Mississippi, who was
a colonel in the rebel army, went still
further. He said that Congress ought
to stop these pension appropriations un-
til law could be passed to grant to the
veterans of the Mexican war the same
benefits that are conferred upon the
soldiers of the Union in the late war.
This Mexican veteran pension bill is
pet scheme of the Southern Demo-
Gratis, who hope thereby to secure
places upon the pension rolls for very
considerable number of persons who
took part in the Rebellion.
Mr.. Reagan offered an amendment to
carry out his idea. A point of order
was raised against it by Mr.. Hiseock,
of New York, and considerable discus
sion took place. The question of order
was not decided before the House ai-
jOurned.
The confederates are indeed earnest,
and Alr. McAlahon was besieged by a
crowd of them while the discussion was
in progress. They besought him to
Withdraw his amendment for the benefit
of loyal pensioners, and to bring it in
hereafter in separate bill. so that they
could fix 1t up to include the persons
who are now excluded for the reason
above given.

GENERAL ITEMS.

In Peoria, Illinois, lives a coiored
lsborer, who left Georgia in the wake
of Gen. Sherman's army. His wife
and baby were left behind. A few
days ago that baby, now a well grown
youth, rejoined his father at Peoria,
and entered the public school there
as pupil.
A despatch from Seattle, Washing
ton territory, says that Michael Pad
den and reighbor named Clark laid
claim to a piece of land at Lebourne,
aud during CIark's absence Padden
commenced fenceing in the land Mrs.
Clark ordered him off, and on his re-
fusai to go, put shotgun in the hands
of her son, only eight years old, and
told him to drive Padden away, where
upon the by shot Padden dead. No
arrests have yet been made.
Daniel Drew started the phrase
"watering stock" A broker wanted to
sell him some stock which had been put
on the market at considerably above
the actual cost of the property. Drew
said, "Thst stock makes me think Of
old farmer Brooks, who used to salt
and water his stock to make his cattle
weigh heavy when he sold them ~
The broker told the story In the street,
and it became part of the wall street
dialect.

The demand for the use of the LIE
Moyne cremation furnace at Wash
ington, Pa, has resulted in deter
mining a man in Woodbridge, Conn,
to build one. A citizen of Union
Hill, y. j., has also concluded to
build one. Both will be put up the
coming summer. These enterprises
have caused city exchange to go to
the Bible to look up the record ON
the question OF burning the human
body, and the following is what the
exchange found in the good book /:
The Bible forbids ard denounces
cremation as follows, in Amos, chap
ter 2. verses 1-3: Thus saith the
Lord, for three transgressions of
Moab. and for four, L will not turn
away the punishment thereof, be
cause he burnt the bones of the King
OF Edom into lime: But L will send
a fire upon Moab, and il snail devour
the palaces of kiriOth; and Moab
shall die with tumult, with shouting,
and with the sound of the trumpet
And / will cut off the judges frcm
the midst thereof. and l will stay all
the princes thereof, with him, saith
tie Lord

Justice Hanger, of Washington, d.
c., court, refused a divorce a day or
two ago, in which the defendant, a
wife, over her own signature, ac-
knowledced her guilt of the charge
of infdelity alleged against her by her
husband, to the full extent charged
in the bill of Indictment, her confes-
sion far exceeding in infamy the ut
most limit of the testimony. The
refusal was based on three points, as
follows: I. The testimony indicated
that the parties to the suit were guilty
of collusion to be rid of each other
2. Aside from the confession, there
was no legal evidence to prove the
charge. 3. There was no evidence to
prove that the commissioner who
took the testimony in New York
State, where the alleged offence was
committed, was qualified to act, and
therefore his report was not authen-
tie.

The Confidence Man in France.
I'm Experience in Paris of .Mackey, the
California Miner.
From the Dayton (Ohio) Journal.

From the Dayton (Ohio) Journal.
j. W. Mackey, the California miner,
related recently one of his expert
ences in Paris, where he was scanda-
lously duped. 1t was his first visit
to France. His arrival IN Paris at a
certain time had been mentioned in
the newspapers there, with the fact
that he had engaged apartments at
the Hotel Anglais. When he reached
the station he was not surprised to
find a pleasant-looking, extremely
courteous F1enchman, who spoke
English, waiting for him, saying that
he had been expected. The stranger
made sure of his name, however,
placed him in carriage, attended to
his luggage and drove him to the ho-
tel There he brought him the reg
lister to sign, and Mackey signed it,
while the Gaul, as if by accident,
held bit of blotting paper over the
name of the house at the top of the
page. "When l turned away" said
the millionaire, he remarked, L hope
You will be pleased with the Hotel
Francais. But l don't want to stay
there; the Hotel Anglais is my place,
as I've told you.' A thousand par
dons. How stupid 1 am to make
such a blunderl 1 misunderstood
you. Then calling a carriage, he
transferred Mackey, himself and bag
gage to the Hotel Anglais. The Cal
fornian thought it was all right until
he received, SIX months after, an in
terminable bill from the Hotel Fran
cais for five months board. with wine
and every sort of extras. The fellow
had, on leaving him, gone directly
back to the Francois, passed himself
off for the miner, lived in grand lux
ury, and, whenever the bill was sent
in, deferred payment on some pre-.
text or other. The swindler finally
quilted the house and directed the
bill to be sent to Mackey's San Fran
cisco address, and has not been heard
of since. The California now enter
tsins the opinion that a Frenchman
can ''outbeat" any beat on the Pacific
slope

sam PATCH is remembered BY old
folks who have lived their three-score

have been forgotten before this were it
not that just fifty years ago he leaped
over the Genesee Falls and was buried
forever under the foam. Sam now has
successor. The new man of fool
hardy daring is Thomas Boyd, a tall,
trim athlete, with legs as wiry as the
shoots of Virginia creeper and sup
pleness akin TO that of a Comanche
borseman. Boyd recently kept float
ing store on the Lynchburg Canal, but,
tiriDg of business, has given himself
ever to sport. Last autumn be jumped
off the high bridge at Decatur, Ala,
and, uninjured, struck the water 1872

mounted the top of the main span OF
the Jeffersonville bridge at Louisville,
KY, and, in the presence of many thou
sand people, prepared to leap into the

he sprang into the air. The force of
the leap sent bin wbirling over COM
plete somersault. The witnesses held
their breath, for be had announced that
he would describe two somersaults.
The first was made safely, but then the
hard wind caught the body and its fut-
tering garments and stopped its mo-
mentum before the other circle could
be completed. Two seconds of time
bad passed, and in the momentary re-
sistance Of the wind the diver fell to
the river upon his left hip, with his
body curled up. There was a pistol
like report, and the waters parted,
shell like, as the human burden fell
upon them. For that instant, if be had
been less trowsers, it would have been
the picture OF Cupid curled IN a she'll.
But in that instant the wav.s closed
over the picture, and the body disap-
peared in the whirling waters, a black
cap floating above tie spot. In an
other moment Boyd was seen swimming
easily towards the rescue boat. He
will leap Niagara on the coming Fourth
of July.

The Harrisburg Telegraph of the
18th inst, says; A singular accident
occurred at the Steel Works about 4: Is
this morning. in which man fell six
ty five feet through the stack of hot
furnace, without breaking any bones or
seriously injuring himself.
Frank Lamcka, an employee Of the
works, while engaged on the top OF No.
= furnace, having started the hose to
play water iato the furnace to cool it
off, lost his balance and plunged in,
falling about sixty-tive feet, before he
struck the distractions in the furnace
when be fell with a bound fifteen feet
further and rolled out of the bottom
of the stack
When the frightful disaster was dis
covered, the wildes; excitement pre-
vailed among the employees, and for a
time panic was immenent, but order
was soou restored, and every attention
paid to the injured mau possible under
the circumstances. He was taken to
his home at Ewirgton, where medical
attendance soon arrived, aud after th 9
most careful examination il was found
that the man had received no fatal in.
juries, and that no bones were broken.
His nose suffered the most injury, that
having been lacerated and bruised Sc
verely causing it to swell very much.
This is the most miraculous escape
any man ever made at any of the iron
works in this city, aud the fall of eighty
feet, through heated stack to the
ground beneath, without causing in
slant death or breaking bone, may be
set down as the most frightful ever
heard of in such a connection

A dispatch from Rock Island, ILL.,,

colored miner of Taylor Williams
shaft, at Rapid City, was the first vic
tim to Mollie Mcguire threats against
negro miners imported to take the
place of the strikers. He was shot
through the heart by some one con-
cealed in a coal shed within few feet
of him. James Barry and S. Barker
were arrested and on examination re-
manded to jail to await the result of
the Coroner's inquest. William Mil
Ter, an old miner, who declared his
intention of going to work, was
wa, ned by a circular that if he did
he would be dead man within three
days. More trouble is feared.

Seeking to Shut Up a Saloon with
the Powerful Lance of PRAYER.

From the Cincinnati Commercial.
A few weeks ago one Elijah Hand
was granted license to open a saloon
in the town of Morristown, Indiana.
The populace of the village is made
up almost entirely of temperance peo-
pie and there has been no saloon in
the place previous to the past week.
When the announcement was made
that there was to be liquor saloon
established there the residents were
thrown into an uproar of excitement.
A petition, signed by almost every
citizen of the place, was presented to
the County Commissioners, protest
ing vigorously against the granting
of a license to the man Hand. He,
however, came out victorious in the
fight and the Necessary license was
granted him. Last week he obtained
a quantity of the beverage and the
saloon was opened His difficulty in
obtaining license, it seems, has been
more than eqraled by later troubles.
The genuine old time temperance cru
SADIE was revived in the village. La
dies hocked to his saloon in numbers.
prayers were made in the room and
on the street, followed by religious
hymns and speeches, beseeching the
proprietor to forsake the business he
was following This was kept up
from day to day, until the vender of
the ardent became highly enraged at
the conduct of the temperance folks.
A law firm in Cincinnati was consult
ed by him as last resort. He claims
that his business is damaged and in
terfered with, and that his property
is trespassed upon. He proposes to
take measures to have an end put to
the trespassing, so that he may con
duct his business.

The ConcOrdia, Kansas, Enterprise
tells of water from which sugar is made.
1t says: ave had call last Thursday
from M. ii. 7. Mills, now living on his
new farm, northwest of Burr Oak. Mr..
Mills produced for our inspection a
lump of sugar, which he had made
from water caught as it ran from liv-
ing spring on his place The process of
manufacture was similar to that by
which maple sugar is produced from the
sap of the maple tree, namely. by 'boil-
ing it down. This experiment was
made last Sunday and the amount of
sugar 'tried out from three gallons of
pure spring water was one and a half
pounds. Mr.. Mills had his attention
called to the peculiar quality of the
water of this spring by the fac: that
his cattle refused to drink it and then
by personal 'sampling,' its sweetness
induced him to t1y the experiment of
sugar-making from such singular mate
rial, With the result stated. We tasted
the sugar-which has almost the iden-
teal appearance Of maple-and were
struck with its similarity of taste
There is enough difference, however, to
convince one that it is not maple, but
that it is an excellent quality Of sugar"
