sS" BETTER FOR THE PENsIoNERs.-On
motion of Mr.. Curtin, of Pennsylvania,
very important bill of interest to soldiers
throughout the country was passed in the
House on Thursday last. The text of the
bill is as follows "That from and after
the passage Of this act all persons on the
pension roll, and all persons hereafter
granted pension, who, while in the mil
itary or naval service of the United States
and in the line Of duty, shall have lost one
arm, one hand, one leg, or one foot, or
shall have suffered disability equal there
10, shall be entitled to pension of $40
per mouth" This, il will be seen, in
creases the pensions of persons who have
suffered rs above $40 per month, the pres
cnt allowance for such disablement being
but $24 per month. When Mr.. Curtin
called up the bill there was no objection
on either side, and there is no doubt that
when the bill reaches the Senate it will
pass without objection, and become law.

ty, Va, says that a few days ago. as he
was talking to q friend, he noticed lit
tie snake, about n foot long, and before
killing it he turned it over with the muz-

ran up the gun-barrel and he could not
get it to come out, so he let 1t remain. AS
he was going home he saw hawk flying
overhead and raised his gun and fired at
it. The hawk was not hurt, but seeing
the snake in the air started toward it and
caught it on the fly. Mr.. Peter Reid is
a brother of a magistrate and church

eY- RIGur.-The State Superintendent
OF Schools decides and has officially pub
lished his decision, that if the trustees of
Il public school close it for amy caTse, save
that less than 80 per cent of the enumera-
ton in attendance, which can only be
done at the close of month, they must
pay the teacher for the time they kept the
school closed. The remedy against in
fictitious diseases is provided for in anoth-
err way. This decision is founded upon
the principle Of mutual contract. If the
teacher losses time, for any cause, he has
to make it up, and if the other contracting
party causes the time 20 be lost, it is not
law to require the first part to make
it up. IT farmer contract with man TO

THE NICARAGUA CANAL.
Hon. j. III. BIOunt's Objections to Guar
anteeing the COmpany's Bonds.

Washington Special to PhiladelpAt1 Press.
Representative BlOunt, of Georgia. has
submitted to the clerk of the Foreign
Affairs Committee minority report on
the bill providing for construction of the
Nicaragua canal. Mr.. BlOunt objects TO
the government guaranteeing 3 per cent.
per annum on $75,OO0,0OO of canal bonds
for twenty years, as is provided for i'm the
bill agreed to by majority of the commit
tee. His objections are based upon what
he believes to be the economic and consti-
tutiOnal grounds. Mr.. KassOn. the author
OF the majority report, informed your cor
respondent that he intended to AJAX the
House at an early day in the approaching
session to consider the canal bill. "The
more ! Investigate the subject the deeper
is my conviction of the Importance of
early action by Congress upon this bill -
said Mr.. KassOn. Il do not think that
the government will be required to pay
anything upon these bonds, for the busi-
ness necessary to make the canal profit
able is awaiting its construction. ANY
enterprise of this description should he
controlled exclusively by the United
states, and the opportunity for the
building of the canal under the nr0tectiOn

MICHAEL DAVITT.

4 Very Bold Speech from dhe AgitatOr.
DUBLIN, Nov. 26.-Mr. Davitt, i'm a
speech at Nayan last. night, eulOgized the
action of the Parliamentary Irish party.
Action in Ireland, he said, must always be
paramount to work in Westminster. Re
ferring to the threatened famine in the
West of Ireland, he declared that the
tenant farmers should not starve.
They would compel the government that
prevents them from living on the soil
to support them during the winter. In
case they were unsuccessful in getting the
government to do its duty, he proposed to
make the landlords support the people.
If Mr.. Gladstone did not apply the surplus
of the arrears estimate to save the people,
then no rent should be paid from NOvem-
ber until May. \ portion of the arrears
surplus. he said. should be placed as a ma
tional relief fund to save the people from
starving.
In lS4S, Mr.. Davitt said, Archbishop
Hughes declared i'm New York that a man
threatened with hunger would be justified
in seizing the bread upon the altar. How
much more justified would the Irish be in
feeding their destitute from the tribute
they are compelled to pay to feloniOus
