THE commissioner of pensions warns
persons who are entitled to pensions not
to place themselves in the hands of claim
agents, and particularly of those who
swarm in Washington. Some of these
people are honest but most of them are
harpies who prey relentless1y upon the
poor and ignorant.
A PROMINENT Presbyterian layman, who
filled the chair of natural sciences at the
University at Richmond temporarily for
several weeks, recently gave the following
illustration of his faith in special proyi-
denccs: 81 hold a pebble up between my
thumb and finger and let it 60. 1t is not
gravitation that makes it fall, but God
that just pushes it down to the ground
One Of the growing industries of Aus
tralia is the cooking and canning of rab-
bits. The Colas preserving company, near
Melbourne, had on an average 1000 of
these agile rodents brought in every night
at the beginning of the past season, and,
the supply increasing, orders were given to
limit the daily quantity to 2,7OO pair
During the season, which lasted for twcn-
ty-five weeks, Ga, 600 rabbits were canned
by this establishment alone.
A SAMPLE of the kind of idiocy that has
kept the Chinese nation in a condition of
semi-barbarism, in spite of it's intellectual
acutencss, was supplied during the recent
negotiation Of tho new treaties by the
American commissioners. The treaties
were all ready for signature ON the fif-
teenth Of November; but one of them
contained the word disaster - and it is
the law in China that nothing containing
that word can be presented to the emperor
within five days of certain important days,
among them his birthday. This compelled
the commissioners to wait for nearly two
weeks before they could conclude their
business.
THE proposition to cut out the corner
stone of the Indiana state house, and put
in a memorial to Morton, leads the Phil.-
delphia Times to this fierce protest d" 1t is
to be hoped that the Democrats may have
sufficiently strong hold Of the Senate to
defeat any measure pointing to such a
work. Morton was, without exception,
the most despicable charlatan that ever
afflicted the politics of any land. Ignorant,
presumptuous, rcvenseful, he made the
high places into which the base party pas
sions Of war thrust him, opportunities for
the qualification of every instinct that de-
grades public and dishonors private life
His baleful mark upon the politics of the
state and nation cannot be oblitcrated in a
generation. To wantonly revive and per-
petuate his foul memory would be the
gratuitous apotheosis of everything cor
rupt, immoral and repulsivc in private
and public life. Let death, if it can, miti-
gate, it cannot wholly oblitcrate tho un-
spealsable evils of a wholly bad man.

BUFFALO, July "a. -Ayoung u
named Sarah Thompson of Guelph,
Ont, has been reclaimed by her parents
here after having eloped with a man
named Allen, a former employee Of her
father, who kept a cabinet factory at
Guelph. Allen had repeatedly been
refused the hand of the young woman,
but she, becoming enamored of him,
eloped with him to Oswego, n. Y.
One day after living with her about a
week be rushed into her room asking
eagerly, "Did a lady call for me 2"
She replied indignantly. No; what
claim can any have on You now
that [ am your wife ?" Allen there
upon confessed that he had another
wife living, and left the hotelt to escape
the scene that ensued. He returned
soon afterward and prevailed upon
the grief stricken girl to take something
that he called medicine to quiet her
nerves, but which in realty was a drug.
He then robbed her of all her money
and nearly all her Jewels, and deserted
her. Not daring to return home she
came this city and obtained a situation
as u domestic, and was soon afterward
taken seriously i'll, when she related
the true condition Of affairs to her EN-
ployers, who telegraphcd to her friends.
The meeting of the giIl and he father
was very affecting. He took her home
and has instituted measures both in
Canada and on this side to bring the
villain to justice.

The attitude OF defiance assumed by

toward each other, is creating apprehen-

party, and the respective friends Of the
belligerents are trying to make It ap-
pear that thoir particular protege is IN

the cause OF the President, thinks lit
can be truthfully stated that while the
Administration does not seek a contest,
and has not sought one, the country

Conkling has never had such a contest

sive hostility Of one. Those who are
able to speak with authority say that

''rhe case is ono Of importance for
two reasons: First, as developing the
real merits Of the case which is to be
determined befors the United States
Circuit Court in June; second, as es-
tablishing whethef the Albion shall be
allowed TO go on aud work the rich ore
body discovered the past Winter. The
lode at the point in controversy is !sev-
eral hundred feet wide. Something
over 200 feet OF the lode is in dispute.
The Albion has in all 4, 500 feet on the
lode. Only that portion next to the
Richmond line has been prospected.
The bonanz+ disclosed in the Albion
has an nscertaiued length Of $50 feet,
only u portion of which CROSSES into the
disputed territory.
THE case Possesses ali intense local
interest. Many miners and others are
owners Of Albion shares. aud q sharp
advance in Albion stock is conf leDtly
expected should the pending injunction
be dissolved.
The most thorough preparation has
