A HEROINE OF THE WAR.

The Services and Losses of Eliza Howard
Powers During the Rebellion.
WASHINGTON, Jan. There has been re-
ported from the Senate Committee on Claims
bill directing the Secretary OF the Treas
ury to pay s., 500 to Eliza Howard Powers. A
report written by Senator Frye gives a sketch
of her history She is now eighty years old.
When the war of the rebellion broke out
she was resident of Paterson, N. ]. She at
once began to devote her energies, influence
and means to the service of the Union sol
diers, ministering to their wants and reliev-
ing their sufferings in camp field and hos
pital. She was president of the Florence
Nightingale Relief Association, of Paterson,
and associate manager of the Sanitary Com
mission of New Jersey. Having given her
time and money to the cause, and having
been very successful in the work, she lost by
misfortune her whole property and was
stricken down by sickness She afterward
was given a clerkship in the Postoffice De-
partment, but since 1874 has been dependent
upon a widowed daughter The Senate com
mittee does not undertake to pay her for her
services in behalf of sick ana wounded SOL
diers but simply to restore to her the money
which she expended out of her own re-
sources.

MIR. Collins Address.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal
In your leader, to-day, on Wages and
Economy" you say: "One of the essayists
at the recent convention of the State Teach
ers Association is represented as having
made the statement that the earning of high
wages tends to increase crime"
You, no doubt, refer to the production OF
Mr.. Coffin, superintendent of the New AL
bany schools, Our memory is at fault if
your Representations" are correct. Among
other things, Mr. G. quoted an Englishmar
as saying in substance, why increase the
wages Of our laborers; it only gives them so
much more to squander at our public
houses" and more of the same strain Mr..
c. did not give this as his opinion, or even
as fact, but he followed by saying in sub
stance that since the subject he was treating
had been assigned him, he had talked tc
very many of all classes, and in no case was
he able to learn that poverty and distress
were due to low wages. How to check the
extravaganza that causes distress and sup
plant it with the thrift that brings ease
seems to be a subject upon which the Eng
llshman did not care to think.

Washington Special to Cincinnati News.
1t is rumored that Commissioner OF PEN
sions Dudley will soon be made to walk back
to the banks OF the Wabash with his check to
date for valuable services rendered in his
pocket The Board of Managers of the Ma
tional Home, that meets here on the 9th, is
understood to be opposed to the further con-
tinuance in office of Il man who is not bold
enough to say in his report, what everybody
knows to be the truth, that the pension list
no longer represents those who were disabled
in the service, but is made the basis upon
which electioneering funds are raised
to carry doubtful States. The fact that
the pension roll grows larger as we
leave the period of war behind us is the
cause of just alarm, and the determination
of the board seems to be to ask Congress to
protect the soldiers against the rapacity OF
the claim agents. 1t is urged against fur
Their appropriation for pensions, bills for
which are now pending, that there is n ring
of pension agents whose business it is to create
one-armed and one-legged soldiers sufficient to
defend the country against invasion if they
had two arms and two legs. The vision Of
the average citizen is beginning to perceive
that the Pension Bureau is gigantic swindle,
and has been used in the past by collision be-
tween commissioners and agents as an in
strument tc elect favorites to Congress upon
