That Robeson-Titus Pension Case.

THE CRITIC of Monday last contained
a communication complaining that the
application of one Sergeant Titus for a
pension had been rejected at the Pension
Office upon tho recommendation Of the
Hon. George NJ. Robson; also denial of
the charge by the Commissioner Of PEN
sions. 1t transpires now that there was
more venom than truth in the communi-
cation, and that the complaint arose from
transaction that THE CRITIC will not
countenance under any consideration.
The Pension Bureau is now and has been
for some time having great deal of trou-
BILE with class of men who approach en-
ployes of the Office and, claiming to repre-
sent an applicant for pension, offer 70
bribe the employe to get through doubt
full case under Investigation. These parties
signally fail and when foiled they become
exasperated and resort to SANDER and mis-
representation, with view to injuring the
Commissioner. The sooner they learn that
cases can only be gotten through the Pen
sion Bureau upon merit and evidence the
sooner they will be spared their malice and
chagrin,

CHORAL INdPITUDES.

Rev. Z. P. Tenney, the genial and
witty President Of Colorado College,
was at one time the beloved pastor
IF the Congreg ,tional Church in q sea-
coast town in Massachusetts. To eke
out his salary, his people gave him O
donation party, among the presents be-
ing fine new lress.coat for the pastor,
and tasty bonnet for his better hair.
On the following Sunday, as they walked
up the aisle in their new habiliments,
the choir inadvertently struck out with
the voluntary, much to the disgust Of
the sensitive Clergyman and his wife,
'Who are these in bright array ?"
At the same church, not long ago, the
funeral Of prominent and highly-re-
spected citizen Of the town, by the
name of Knight, occurred, on which
occasion, by q singular contretemps, the
choir sang rs their first selection the
usually fitting hymn, "There will be NO
night there" The effect, as soprano,
alto and tenor successfully took up the
refrain, wss well calculated to excite the
risibles OF these who had gathered in
in any but humorous spirit. - Ha,per'i

Is the Snn HNt2

The battery of mundane construction
our best aid and interpreter in tho
reading of universal phenomena-while
it is the developer of heat, light and
power, is itself neither luminous, hos
nor magnetic. To explain the effects OF
the sun, therefore, there is not the least
reason to infer that it IS itself luminous,
or even warm. Potential action gen.
Grated in n dark, cold body may produce
great heat, light and attraction, at dis
tance from the seat of activity, and what
is thus wrought artificially, in small
way, may surely be done naturally, and
IN tremendous fashion, by the grand
forces of the sun.
The same process develops sunlight.
Ii lines be drawn from the sun to the
earth, tangent to both, these lines will
lnclose tapering space, the sun at the
big end and the earth at The small end,
and the space between tluncated cone.
This space may be designated the solar
cone or cone space. Within this space
incessant circulation is going on, and all
the phenomena of gravity, heat, light
are produced through their reciprocal
activity. The field Of encounter be-
tween the forces Of the sun and earth is
our atmosphere, and In the collision
light is generated. Being thus condi-
toned upon the atmosphere, light and
heat cannot be found i'll space beyond
the lines of the Solar system.
1t is to be observed that light rapidly
diminishes in the direction of the sun,
even as We have seen to be the case with
heat. Beyond the lower portion of the
atmospheric mnss there is no dazzle !;
and the human eye, in looking upon the
great orb, in not dazed. Thus the ex-
ceeding brilliancy which characterizes
the suns rays, so far az being phe-
nomenon located in the sun itself, as is
the p pular and even the scientific con.
ception, is actually confined to the lower
strata of our atmosphere.
Ii light were transmitted to us from
the'sun in perfect intensity, the entire
vault of heaven must appear as luminous
as our SUI.
The sun is, therefore, not the manu-
featuring place and distributing reser-
voir OF actual light and heat it is rather
the source from whence the whole solar
system is supplied with the invisible,
potential light and heat, which become
developed where tits required. The great
central orb may, therefore, be regarded
as like unto the earth, on its surface and
its surroundings, namely, dark, cool,
habitable body.-H. R. Rogers.

Railroad Talk.

SAN FRANcIsco, March 2S.-A large
number of prominent railroad officials
from the east, who have been visiting
the coast recently, are responsible for
considerable gossip in connection with
contemplated changes in the railroad
system of the state. No pretence is
made to create the impression that
their visit is merely for the purpose
Of recreation, and during conversation
last night with gentlemen connected
with eastern railroads running thro'
New York, Pennsylvania and Chica-
20, the subject of Wizards proposed
visit was broached. Considerable
Importance was attached to his pres
ence west, as he is conceded to be a
man who is thoroughly wrapped up
with his business, and whose task is
not such as to induce him to leave
the active scene of operations for a
mere pleasure trip. 1t was stated in
this connection that changes recent
ly made by the promotion of John
Muir and the appointment of a thor
oughly competent railroad man to the
vacancy thereby caused would obvi-
ate any necessity for Wizards present
trip, unless the following gossip was
true in its main points. From per-
sonal observations made by one of
these men, was satisfied the pur-
chase of the South Pacific Coast road
would be perfected, and that it would
rapidly be followed by further i'm
provements, and probably the exten
sion from the present terminus to
Santa Cruz. 1t is also represented
that Willard owns controlling inter-
est in the railroad commencing ut
Port Hartford, in southern California,
running through San Luis Obispo,

Editorial Notes,


is an entertainment in Port Town
send like that of Wednesday last
there is talk about the necessity of
having commodious opera house
here. Several times lately parties
have offered to take stock in an en-
terprise of that kind. Undoubtedly
the time is not far distant when We
shall have something of the kind; in
fact it may he safely predicted as
about the next enterprise on hand.
Who will make the move?
A SHIP YARD.-We are credibly in
formed that areliable and experienced
ship builder with the means necessary
for starting a ship yard, is anxious 20
engage in that business in Port Town
send provided he can get land along
side of the sawmill and power for
running the machinery necessary. 1t
is certainly worth the attention Of
our mill owners. A good ship yard
here would furnish employment for
n large number of laborers and dis
burse lots Of money among our bus
mess men.
If you want to hear a talented
lady's reasons for equality in human
rights, eloquently expressed, go and
listen to Mrs, Duniway tomorrow
night at Fowler's Hall. This jour
nal was long since placed on record
squarely in favor of political equality
of the sexes Moreover, we are ready
at any time to give conclusive reasons
for our belief in regard to the ques
ton. Mrs. Duniway, however, is an
older, more experienced, more active,
and more forcible champion of the
cause. We therefore advise all to go
and hear her argument 1t is possi-
ble that she may brush away a few
of the cobwebs of prejudice, ignor
ance and indifference.
Iris gratifying to note that Port
Townsend people voted ''yes" with
such degree of unanimity on the
school tax question. There is enough
property in the school district 10
nearly raise the amount required, at
the maximum rate allowed by law;
this will be supplemented by money
raised in getting up public entertain
ment, if necessary. Now, let there be
concert of action, and let the money
be made go as far as possible. If the
other six lots in the block now occu-
pied by the district school building
cannot be bought at a reasonable
price, let the directors purchase a
suitable block for the new building,
and let the present building and
grounds be fitted up for use as a pri-
mary department. In any event, let
us have new school building that
will be credit to the place.

A WOMAN'S INSTINCT.
A sprightly Comedy Acted in London
Railroad Station.

Pretty Mrs. Vdlery was merry, light
hearted little creature aud very charm
ing. This was nearly enough to make
her detested of her sex; but add to this
that her husband was devoted To her. aud
that all the men OF her acquaintance ad-
mired her, aud there is quite sufficien'
reason for tie enmity felt towards her
by all women less fascinating or. as
they would have said, less cLE.ER.
In truth Mrs. Valery was the most in
nocent little woman in the world. and il
was very easy for her to walk in the path
of virtue, as she had the exceptional ad-
vantage of being in loye with her hus-
band. But, of course, her female friends
could not be expected to believe that,
though the men had all fouud it out
long ago, and admired her all the more
for it. She accepted sheir admiration
with an ease and grace all her own; she
had been great deal abroad, and
possibly this gave her manners brillianoe
and gaiety. Half her girlhood had been
spent with relations in st. Petersburg.
and she spoke Russian as it she were
herself Slav. From that gay city per-
haps she had brought her love Of socia
life, and the vivacity which delighted
her male friends. All these things we're
enough to make the ladies of her ac-
quaintance quite convinced that she was
improper" and only needed to 6s found
out.
Lady Lynx lived just opposite Mrs
Valery in Wilton Place. This was ON
reason why she was tactitly elected a.
deteetiye'in-chief to spy upon Mrs Val
.ery. But there was much stronger
reason for the lady's willingness 10 hli
that post. Her husband. Sir Gvorgr
Lynx, was a confirmed elobe-lrotteT. a
lover Of almost any land but England
and he seldom returned TO the wife q
his bosom. In bis ABSENCE men treated
her with but chilly politeneas. though
she painted aud powdered. and dresssl
to perfection. Yet Mrs. YaleFy. though
her husband was q stay-at home. had !
constant train Of admirers. Lady Lyul
was oonYipeed that there was more "a
this than met ths eYei she devoted hef
self to Mrs. Valery, b.eame her m0st l.
