Some idea of the immense amount of
money now paid out for pensions in the
United States may be gathered from the
fact that for three months ending Septem-
Der 30 the payments amounted to S23, 900,
600. A thousand new clerks have been set
at work in the pension office, and the next
year win probably show the country how
wide the door of the treasury was opened
by the passage of the arrears pensions
bill. Chicago journal
And the half is not yet told. 1t has re-
Gently been been discovered that over a
million persons entitled to pensions under
the provisions of this act have not yet made
application, but they will be heard from in
time

ToUZALIN's RESIGNATION.


1t is learned that a change in the man
agement of the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy road is about. to take place. AT
the time of the reorganization of the Bur
Iington system, when Mr.. c. f. Perkins
was chosen president, MIA. f. Touzalin
was elected first vice president, with head
quarters at Boston; J. c. Pcasley, second
vice president and treasurer, and T. j.
Potter, third vice president and general
manager in this city. 1t has been under
stood for some time that this quartette of
officers was not truly happy. The an
nouncement that Mr.. Touzalin has re-
signed, and will leave the company at
once, will therefore not cause any great
degree of surprise 1t may be added that
Dir. Touzalin is going to Europe for his
health and when he returns, viii look
after his interests in Nebraska.
The present management of the road is
perfectly harmonious, and is working well.
1t is also probable that there viii be but
two vice presidents hereafter both Messrs.
Peasley and Potter being promoted one
office higher.

THE MrsERIEs OF A MEAN MAN.

Sometimes / wonder what a mean man
thinks about when he goes to bed. When
he turns out the light and lies down.
When the darkness closes in about him
and he is alone and compelled to be honest
with himself, And not bright thought,
not generous impulse, not manly act,
not word of blessing. not a grateful look
comes to bless him again Not a penny
dropped in the outstretched palm of pow
erty, nor the balm of a loving word
dropped into an aching heart; no sunbeam
of encouragement cast upon struggling
life; no strong right hand of fellowship
reached out to help some fallen man to his
feet-whens none of these things come
upon him as the God bless you" of the
departed day, how he must hate himself.
He must try to roll away from himself
and sleep on the other side of the be
The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1882-11-21

When the only victory he can think of is
some mean victory, in which he has
wronged neighbor. No wonder he al
ways sneers when he tries 70 smile. How
pure, and fair and good all the world mist
look to him. and how cherries and dusty
and dreary must bis own pathway appear.
Why, even one lone. sdesolate act of evil is
enough to scatter cracker crumbs ia the
bed of the average ordinary man, and what
must be the feelings of man whose whole
life is given up to mean acts? When there
is so much suffering and heartache and
misery in the world, why should you add
one pound of wickedness and sadness to
the general burden? Do6't be mean. my
boy. Suffer injustice a thousand times
rather than commit it once. - Bnrdette.

DARING STAGE ROBBERY

LOUISVILLE, Nov. 20.-The stage from
Columbus to Campbellsville was robbed
this morning, two miles from the latter
place, by a SINGLE masked robber. There
were three passengers Dobbs of
Bloomington, Ind; Hon. NJ. III. Sherer. of
Columbia and J. o. Edwards, of Moulton
Iowa. From Mrs. Dobbs about so was
taken. she succeeding in saving two fine
diamond rings by hiding them in her lap;
from Sherer a pocket book containing
money, some valuable papers, and gold
watch were taken; and from Edwards a
watch. The last named saved his money
by throwing his pocket book under the
seat, The rohber refused to restore Sher-
er's papers, saying stage robber has no
mercy. He took the top bolt off the wheel
of the coach and then disappeared, through
the woods on foot. He wore leather
mask and was armed with long revolver.
He cut himself badly in opening the mail

MATRIMONIAL sLUsH.


By Texas paper. published not far from Fort
Worth.
We beg leave to intersperse few re
marks in the course of this account and
have bought an extra supply of quotation
marks for the purpose of separating the
two patches of slobber. Like the immortal
Crushed Tragedian, we tackle the subject
in sections: Section 1. EAT the Third
ward residence of --- and LADY,
an event occurred last evening-one of
those bright exploits woven by Destiny
from the floss of heaven, enlivened by the
hope of a thousand hearts. 1t was the
wedding of Mr.- and Miss"
We suppose from the above that the
gentleman referred to had a house in each
yard in the city. The wedding occurred
at his third ward mansion. We are glad
to know that his wife shares the property
with him. Destiny has at last got into the
exploit business and appears to be doing
well to judge by the fact that she is manu-
featuring gauze marriages out of heavenly
floss
The ceremony took place at fifteen
minutes past O'Clock p. M. the Rev. -
most gracefully officiating. Guests passed
into the house through door wreathed
with Towering vines and blossoms of rare
beauty and fragrance. The altar bore a
beautiful Bible between vases containing
twin bouquets, and sitting at the piano
was Mrs -, beautiful as a priestess of
Thalia, filling the air with ravishing strains
rich as the notes of the warblers of Tene-
rifle. We may fail to record some of the
many persons who partook of the Joys of
this occasion. Our notes are hastily gath
cred, and the hour at this writing is past
midnight"
The reportorial accuracy as to the time
when the hopes of a thousand hearts were
about to be consummated, is refreshing
under the circumstance and shows the
abnegatien of self by the reporter under
the most trying circumstances. 1t is Just
as well, perhaps, that the guests went into
the house through the door, for if they had
tried to get into window, they might
have been misconstrued as burglars having
designs upon the presents. 1t must have
been tough on the beautiful Priestess of
Thalia to fill the rooms with ravishing
strains quite a strain, when you consider
how much above high G the peak of Tener
life is. He need not have recorded the
persons who attended if he had only got
their names; here is where reportorial
fidelity gets away with midnight OIL
After detailing the names of many ladies
who attended the reporter recruits the
list from the ranks of the gents present.

enumerating them a great deal after the

stock, like this: Massive and illuminated

LAST WEEKS GRAIN TRADE.
The M1rk Lane Express, in its review of
the British grain trade for the past week,
SAYS The weather allowed some wheat
sowing but the arrears in this work are
not materially reduced. There has been a
large but irregular supply of native wheat,
with prices for good samples occasionally
higher; foreign unchanged in price, the de
mand being scarcely as good, and the bust
ness restricted by the f1rmness of sellers.
Business in cargoes off the coast is virtually
at stand-still. There have been four ar
rivals, and two sales. The market
for cargoes on passage and for ship
ment closed firm and quiet; red winter
and California 3d(o6d below. Flour
was supplied freely but the demand was
inactive and prices unchanged; foreign,
dull with labored sales. Barley unchang
ed; foreign, steady with hardening ten
dency Oats were dearer, with a fair trade
in foreign at unchanged rates. Maize was
in small supply, with retail lots at fancy
prices The sales of English wheat for
the past week were AZ 1856 quarters at 40s
Sd; again Al, 991 quarters at 45s 4d in the
corresponding period last year.
