Sergeant Mason Almost Forgotten.

The skeleton of the Assassin Guiteau
is in the Army Museum at Washington
the same building where Lincoln fell
by the hand of another assassin. Ser
geant Mason, who fired shot into the
Jail where the "inspired" monster lay
awaiting his doom, fingers in prison,
undergoing a sentence of eight years at
hard labor The penalty Of dishOnor-
able discharge from the army, with for
feiture of all his pay and allowances, u
very harsh and hard part of his punish
ment, he has already paid. Snbscrir
tions for the benefit Of his wife and
child have ceased, and apparently all
legal efforts on his behalf have been
abandoned.
His case is not wholly forgotten, how
ever, and occasionally petitions in his
behalf are received at the War Depart
ment from people who believe that TIL
sentence of the court martial was to-
severe, and that Mason is a proper sub
,ect for Executive clemency. When
the case was brought before the Sill
preme Court last year, on a petition eX-
cepting to the jurisdiction of the court
martial, the Court decided only thai
the military tribunal had jurisdiction.
The merits of the case were hardly
touched. subsequently the Judge Ad-
vocate General reviewed the proceed
ings and findings Of the military Cour'
and recommended that its judgment b'
set aside. Since that time no action
has been taken by the War Department
or the President.

Gong reSsman EVerhart's Rising
| Star.

The following, taken from last week 4
issue of the Shenango Valley News, has
been handed us with the request 10 give
| it plac. in these columns:
| Senator James b. Everiart, of Che,-
ter County, has resigned his seat in the
State Senate and for the strongest
reason yet. He became member of
Congress on the 4th instant, and con-
cludrd that he could not consistently
draw pay from both the State and
I he Nation at the same time. Think of
il +! An honest man III public life by
his own confession! Certainly the Mil
lennium must be nigh at hand
But Mr. Everhart is not merely
honest by spasins. He is tn" gentleman
who would take only the even 81 900
pay for his services as State Senator,
" hen the grabbers voted themselves an
additional $500 He took the COnsti-
tuition at its word, and did not consider
that the prolonging Of the session be
yOnd the prescribed one hundred days
entitled the Senators to any more pay.
Mr.. Everhart is n Republican Of the
Independent persuasion, although he
supported Gen. Beaver in the hope of
securing reform within the party"
In addition to having a conscience, Mr..
Evrrhart has ability and culture, being
what the elder Cameron would call
zone of them dashed literary t'llcrs."
He ought to be in the U. :. Senate in
the place of son Don, and we hope the
State will send him there for the sake
of good government and good example.
Mr.. Everhart is also IA man who does
not take bribes from Railroad, companies
in the shape OF free passes, and is the
author of the bill now before the Lcgis-
lature which seeks TO abolish this species

A Lucky Find.

Dr. Landis, of Danville, ky., while
OIL visit to Philadelphia in 1889, stroll
ed into secondhand book store, where
he found an old velcum book printed
in 1890. An examination proved it to
be copy of the works of Anslcm, the
great chemist and celebrated physician
Of the fourteenth century, who is more
generally known as Paracelsus. DR..
Landis did not suspect the full value
of his prize until he found that among
the contents was the long-lost and much
disputed letter of the great chemist,
which had for years been the subject of
controversy in literary and scientific
circles.
He sent the book to the British Mu-
scum. 1t was found TO be genuine, and
he was at once offered 81, 900 for the
work. The offer was declined, and DR..
Landis kept the book until his death,
"A few weeks ago, and willed the VOL
ume to the Central University, Pres
byterian school at Richmond, Ky. The
book would now probably bring $4,000
at public sale, and is one of the most
valuable volumes in the world.

POstmastcrs Salaries.

During the closing hours Of the last
session of Congress bill was passed
directing the Postmaster General to
read just the salaries of certain post
masters in accordance with the provi-
siOns of section of the act of June II,
1866. The bill makes no pecuniary
provision for carrying out its require
ments, and it is said at the Postoffice
Department it cannot be executed with
out All appropriation and an additional
force of clerks. 1t is estimated that the
readjustment of salaries directed by
this bill requires an expenditure of at
least $2,0OO,000, since its provisions
apply TO eight thousand or ten thousand
