CLAIM ALLOWED AFTER TWENTY
YEARs-At the siege Of Vicksburg in
1862 Colonel Britton had the misfortune
to have horse killed, and applied to the
Government for pay for his loss, the horse
being his private property. The neces-
sary papers and vouchers were forwarded
to Washington, and placed in the hands
of claim agent. Time flew on, the war
closed, and no word or settlement of the
claim was received by the Colonel, and
he finally gave up all hope of receiving
pay for the animal Yesterday to his
great surprise, he received letter from
the national capital conveying the intel
ligence that his claim had been allowed,
but that he would have to wait until
next December for his pay, as bill
would have to be presented to Congress
for an appropriation to pay his claim,
and it could not be reached before that
time. The Colonel is we'll satisfied,
for the settlement of an account twenty
years old will net make any difference
with his financial business.-JanesciUe

ALMOST DIED A-LAUGHING. "A num-
ber Of young men, not conspicuous for
their superior intelligence, met in pri-
vate apartment of house on Spadina
avenue last evening. Time hung heavy
on their hands, and the suggestion of one
that they relieve the oppressive ennui by
laughing for the drinks was hailed with
enthusiasm. The contest commenced,
and one of them continued to laugh for
half an hour when his face had changed
from red to a darker hue. Then his
friends became alarmed, and implored
him to desist This, however, he could
not do, and his only response was the
continuance of the hearse, spasmodic
noise. He laughed as if doing it by con-
tract His forehead became livid, and
the veins stood out distinct like whip
cord. The arteries in his neck distended
almost to bursting; symptoms of apo
plexy became apparent, and it became ev-
ident that remedial measures must be
adopted, or he would die laughing. One
of the party ran to drug store and pro-
cured draught, which was administered
to the irrepressible cachinnatnr The eff
feet was salutary, and to-day F. does not
feel much the worse of his voluntary and
dangerous display OF laughing.-Toron-

A RAIL MILL CLOSED.

Orders have just been issued to shut
down the iron rail mill of the North Chi.
cago Rolling mills at Bay View, and
these orders have already gone into eff
feet By this Milwaukee loses what at
one time was one of its thriving INDUS
tries, and which, even last year at this
time, was considered the most profitable
of all the iron business done at the roll
ing mills. When it was ascertaired yes
terdav what turn had been taken by
e management of the mills, a DAILY Re
publican reporter called upon one Of the
officials located here, and questioned him
concerning it, After affirming the fact
ofthe closing up of the iron rail- mills, he
SAID: "You see, the capacity to make
steel rails ia the United States has been
increased very largely during the past
six mouths, and the prospects are that it
will increase very much more during the
next six months, 50 that, at the end OF
this year, the capacity to make steel rails
will be fully up to the requirements OF
the roads The cause of this is that steel
rails are sold at present very close to the
price at which we can make iron rails,
and the difference is SO SMALL that it does
not pay the railroad companies to pur-
chase iron rails; and in addition to the
item of cost, is the fact that one steel
raj will outlast two or three iron rails.
The only iron-rail business that remains
is the rerolling Of the old iron sent us for
that purpose by railroad companies, who
have large amounts of it on hand. The
shutting down of our rail-mill will, how
ever, not effect the bar iron business we
are doing at present. We will probably,
at the end of two or three weeks, work
the iron rail mill few days, in order to
run off the few orders that will have ac-
cumulated. After several runs of this
kind will have been made, we will shut
down entirely for long time, and will
probably never again open the iron-rail
business at Bay View. To show how the
demand Tor iron rails has given way to
the demand of steel rails, | would say
that at this time last year the business at
that mill was booming Until the last
few orders will have been run off, no man
will be put out of work, as we will need
the full force when we do the last bits of
work The steel rail demand on us will
be fully met by the opening of our new
mills at Chicago, in the course of the next
two or three weeks"
1t is believed that the final shutting
down of the iron-rail mill will put fully
three or four hundred meL out of en-
ploy oyment.-Nilwaukee Repu6 lican.

LOVE AT GUITEAU'S TRIAL.

A Washington correspondent relates
the following of a Wisconsin young lady:
Appropos of the recent romantic mar
riage of Miss May Rice, daughter of DR..
Rice. of Merton Wis, and Fred Cowie,
of this city, The Star this evening relates
the following: During the Guiteau
trial the newspaper correspondents and
others who made daily visits to the court
room became much interested in a young
lady with pretty face who sat during
nearly the whole trial at the table be-
side Mrs Scoville. It was an oasis of
beauty in the desert of bald heads and
unromantic pencil drivers Immediately
in front af the Judges stand. This
young lady was the daughter of DIR. Rice,
of Merton, Wis, Mr.. Scoville's family
phyician, who declares Guiteau to be in
sane, and became so much interested in
tue proceedings that he remained here
through nearly the whole trial. DR.. Rice
and his daughter, May, stopped at the
fremont House, and there Miss Rice be-
come acquainted with Mr.. Fred Cowie.
Since the trial Mr.. Cowie has found a
mysterious business that has taken him
to Wisconsin once or twice. On the last
trip he settled the business and returned
to Washington last evening with DR..
Rice's daughter, who now bears the name
ofCowie"

LEGISLATION FOR RIRELAND.-LoNDoN,
April 26-In the Commons Gladstone
saidFthe Government could not support
the second reading of the Healy-Parnell
land bill. The act, he said might not
be disturbed, but this opinion did not ap-
ply to the purchase and arrears clauses.
The latter claim certainly fell far short
of its object, and should be legislated
upon early the present session. The
Government would approach the ques-
ton. impartially listening to the sug-
gestions of all qualified persons and set
Ting the question effectually.
Gladstone praised the system for set
fling arrears sketched in the Irish bill,
and said he knew many landlords thought
settlement should be compulsory. He
considered relief should take the form of
gift and not loan. Gladstone stated
he would discuss the purchase claus IS on
Smiths motion. He saw in the Irish bill
the first gleam of hope on a dark subject,
for, although he was confident of the pow
er ofthe empire for compulsion, he de-
clared it was completely alien to the spir-
it of the constitution. He approved of
the application of the Irish Church sur
plus fund1for aiding tenants in arrears.
but feared the fund was not large enough
for the purpose. At the beginning of
his speech Gladstone referred to propos-
ais it might be the duty of the Govern
ment to Introduce at the present session
for the direct purpose of maintaining
peace over Ireland.

PALMYRA.

Who has not seen the what is known
as the "Big Spring." one mile distant
from this village, and upon lands owned
by Mrs. BidweIl, will do we'll to visit it
as it is pronounced by travellers and
others to be the grandest and most mag
niicent natural curiosity of the kind that
they have ever witnessed. This spring
is some twenty two leet in depth and dis
charges stream Of water sufficiently
large, if properly controlled to run aeon
mon Touring mill. At the bottom of this
spring there is continued pulsation or
intermittent heaving of the water and
sand which produces a splendid sight, es-
pecially when the rays Of the sun strike
the waters. A large number of fish may
at any time be seen near the bottom OF
the spring.

ciate the value of the blessing of the re-

GOOD COUNTRY ROADS WANTED.-It
is singular to remark how men, and often
sbrewd busines men, too, will to avoid
spending money in one way, spend twice
as much ir, another. A striking instance
in this odd description of economy, is
seen in the case of country roads, Farm
ers and others will whine over paying q.
rate for good substantial road repairs, who
submit without a wry face to pay for
wagons worn out years before they should
be, and horses and mules worn down in
their prime through bad roads, besides
submitting to the loss of time and injury
to their business, that comes from inabil-
ity to haul through the mud and ruts and
holes that exist in the roads about them.
If those who live where such roads are
tolerated-and that would include near
ly ev ry community in Illinois-were to
enter in book the loss of business, the
loss OF animal service, the damage to
wagons and harness, besides the personal
discomfort to themselves and family, and
add all up on one side of the account,
then put down the amount of road tax
that would give them good roads all the
year round, that would add to the value
of their property and encourage immi-
grants to settle in their neighborhood-
would thew not blush for the short-sighted
policy they and their whole country were
pur~uing?-Sprinqfeld Register.
