SOLDIERS HOME.

Mr.. ]. V. Lawler, editor Of the Carroll
County Chronicle, who visited the Sol
diers Home atiDaytOn, gives the follow
ing interesting items:
The Soldiers Home, located four miles
from Dayton, is one of the most attract
i've and interesting spots anywhere to
be found, 1t is reached by street car
and dummy engine railroad track. The
farm comprises 700 acres of rolling land
dotted all over with buildings-co cottages
houses, dOrmitOTies, pOstOttice, theatre,
hospital, sc. There are 1000 persons
on the roll, and about $500 inmates at
present. There are 48 in the blind de-
Dartment, and about 1886 in the hospital,
2O8 died last year, and 20 last month.
There are 43 dOrmitOries, each stories
high. One of the celebrated characters
is Justus Davis, SO years of age. He was
too old to serve either in the war OF the
rebellion OF the Mexican war. He looks
hale and hearty, and a photograph OF
the old veteran will hereafter adOrn our
album. To feed and clOthe this large
family requires an incOmprehensible
amount of labor. Fifty-twO cooks pre-
pare the victuals and So walters serve
them; II barrels Of flour, 400 pounds of
butter, 300 pounds of sugar, 1875 pounds
of coffee, 1900 pounds Of meat, and 284
gallons of milk are used every day; 16
bushels Of potatoes are used at one meal
and 300 gallons of coffee served twice
day. To make one pot pie it takes 40
sheep, barrels of flour and 16 bushels
of potatoes. They have $50 pies every
day for dinner. and on Thanksgiving
they ate 300 turkeys for dinner. Three
large green houses are filled with
rare plants and sprigs, fountains and
miniature water works abound. A fine
picture of Gen. Butler is given promin-
ence, to which our One-arm9d guide cal
led attention. Gen. Butler is the orig
inatOF of this Home for veterans, for
this is National, not State institu-
tion. The mention of Gen. Buffers
name called forth a reference to poll.
tics, and our guide inquired if any one
could guess how they voted at the Home.
He stated, with no little degree of sat
isfactiOn, that the Republican majority
two years ago was over 300, last year it
was only 60, while last October 1t was
only I6. Thank GOd," said a poor,
wicked Democrat who brought up the

THE Enquirer accuses Senator Pendle-
ton with "ioining the Republicans,
telling him: "You are over the line in
the camp of the enemy and indulges
freely in pharisee advice.
The Enquirer's hOmilies might be re-
ceiyei with more consideration were ii
not for the fact that its leading writer,
"Gath," is a Republican of the blue
light Hartford Convention Federal type,
who believes jefferson was humbug
and did not write the Declaration of In
dependence and was only poor fiddler
When the Enquirer cuts loose from such
humbugs a5 George Alfred Townsend,
Democrats who respect the memory of

The Enquirer folks seem blessed with
sGficient assurance. We remember the

TIE Boston School Board, during the
year. have been experimenting with in
dustrial training in the public schools.
A room in one Of the school buildings
was set apart as a carpenter shop, and
supplied with tools and materials, and
a practical carpenter and builder as in
structor. The boys took to the work so
heartily that they all wanted to be in
the carpenter shop. Only certain num-
bereOuld be ee-cmmodated at time
and the teacher found that by making
the shyp priv7 q, the 4eward of good
recoras in Us r rlass-rOOms, they had
--sette recttatiOns, and the boys received
hiSe ,rEFthan ever before. The in
structiOn given in the shop is element
ary, but Judging from the report. it has
had a good effect upon the boys. The
experiment, however, needs another
years trial. The fitting up of the shoI
was not very expensive. and the opera
tions, it is said, have not interteTeC
with the regular school duties of the
bows.

auTrE PENDLETON BILL PASSES THE

~ Senator PendletOn's bill to reform the
lti7il service passed the Senate at p. m.
Thursday, by vote of 80 to 3, the latter
Qem2crats. The Republican ma
voted down several salutary
amendments that Democratic Senators
offered, advocated and voted for, Mr.,
PendletOn also favOring and voting for
them.
The five Senators voting against were
all Democrats; and of the 80 fourteen
were Democrats, while sixteen Senators
paired with one another, several of
whom we're Democrats. The vote clear
Iy shows that majority of the Demo-
cratic Senators favored the bill. 1t may
not be all they would like, but it is
step toward reform and it can be amend
ed and improved as time may demon
strate defects. We are glad to see this
move in the direction of reform. 1t Is
highly necessary.
