beautiful stand had been erected in the school

Empty Udder.

TRENTON, N. j., Oct. S.-John Yard. a farmer
living on the Brunswick pike, eight miles from
this city, has been pasturing a number Of cows
on a lot on his place for some time. Recently
he noticed that one of the finest of them inva-
riably came in in the morning as dry as though
she had been MIXED. lie was puzzled at this,
and, as an experiment, changed her to another
pasture. She Immediately began to give the
usual amount of milk. After "a few days she
was returned to the old pasture with the other
cows, and at once began to come in dry, as be-
fore.
Finally Mr.. Yard set a boy to watch the COW.
The mystery was then quickly solved. The boy
reported that early in the morning = large snake,
"the biggest he had ever seen, came and break
tasted from the cows udder, draining it COM
pletely dry. The COW did not seem to mind the
operation. These facts are vouehed for by re
sponsible persons who have seen the snake tax
ing its morning meal.

Major F. ". Haskell. watervine, Me.

MAJOR r W. tiasKell. WatefNllle, Me.
Dear Sir The Republican national commit
tee have directed us to say in reply to your let
ter of the 18th inst. that the Republican party
favors to-day. as in the past. full and substantial
justice and liberality to the men, who. by their
sufferings and sacrifice, saved the Union, and we
point with pride to the fact that it was the Re
publican party which sustained you while in the
field, and which has provided literally for the
families of those who fell. The national com
mittee is not able to say that the party will favor
the indiscriminate pensioning of all the surviv-
ors on the same basis. without regard to the
character of the service rendered, time Of serv
ice, or its effect upon them. But we do feel
authorized to say that whenever the authorized
representatives of the soldiers shall have ma
tured a plan by which pensions may be given to
all who rendered adequate service, or are now
in need, the past record of the Republican
party is ample assurance that such a measure
will have its unqualified support.
Respectfully, b. f. JONES, Chairman.

TO SOLDIERS AND SAILORS.
The Question of PensiOns-Call for a National
Convention, to Be Held in this City.

1he following correspondence, which carries
Its W explanation, needs no comment to com
mend 1t to a careful reading by every man who
served the Union in the late war.
WATERvILIE, Ne, Sept. %, 1884.
Hon. Is. +. Jones, Chairman Republican National
Committee, New York City:
Dear Sir: Two thousand Grand Army Posts
have petitioned Congress for the enactment of a
law granting service pensions to Union soldiers.
Through that organization. and in other ways
fully 30, 600 veterans have asked for the
adoption of that measure, On behalf of these
petitioners, | desire to invite the attention of
your to this subject.
None appreciate more fully or acknowledge
more heartily than DO the Union veterans that
the United states government has most literally
treated our comrades who suffer from wounds
or other manifest physical injury, but the fact
remains that a very large percentage of low
grade disability pension claims are rejected, be-
cause of the inrpSSsibility of obtaining the evi-
dence required by the stringent rules of the
Pension Office, and this operates very unfairly
to the majority of meritoriouS claimants whose
claims have been rejected, or which are now
pending.
The almost universal penalty paid by the vet
Grams who performed arduous field service.
marched to exhaustion, exposed to extremes of
heat and cold, subjected to malaria in the
swamps of the South, where they lay at times
Tor months, was impaired health, broken con-
situations. lowered vitality, exhausted energies
and shortened lives. While all this is painfully
apparent to themselves, it may not always be
manifest to medical examination made at the
present day. Such examination cannot deter
mine the physical deterioration of men from
what their condition would now be if they had
not rendered faithful service in the field.
1t is q fact that not one man in a thousand
came from the war unininred h. his service.
This is the main ground upon which our claims
for service pensions rest.
We waive the questions of claims to the graft
tude of the Republic, the unfairness i'll the fail
ure to equalize bounties. the paying of monthly
pay mainly in forty-eent dollars, and ask simple
much for which they have not received an equiv
alent.
l trust the reasons adduced will warrant your
committee, representing the great national par
ty which has stood as cur friend in the past. in
extending your aid to the Union veterans in their
efforts to secure a recognition of their claim to
justice. Very respectfully, your obedient ser
want, f. w. HASKELL.
