Some of the Eastern holders Of that
class of securities known q. western
farm mortgages, are manifesting some
spprehensions that the low price OF
wheat may affect their value. Referring
to this, citizen of Huron, Dakota
writes to Bradstreet: We have been
loaning in the territory for the last six
years. and have been located at this
point for the last two and half years,
and have invested several thousand dol.
lars for eastern capitalists in first mort
gage loans on come sixteen hundred dit
ferent farms. We have had four inter.
est payments come due and every dol
lar OF interest has been paid and we
have not had one foreclosure. II is ~
serted by competent authorities that
30, OOO, 600 worth of western farm mort
cages are held in. New York city. It is
also we'll known that large sums of New
England capital representing the lite
savings of frugal people, are invested
IN these securities. The dealers in these
bonds have lately boosted that the

The proposed pension which Gen.
Grant declined in advance the other
day amounted to IS 600 q year. His
yearly pay as retired general of the
army, If his friends should succeed in
restoring him to the rank he held when
he resigned to be president, and in put
ting him on the retired list, would
amount to SIC, 125, and the back pay
for sixteen years, from the date of his
resignation, March 4, 1869, would
amount to $162, 0OO-a sum sufficient to
pay of the Judgment which Mr.. Van
tlerbilt procured on Tuesday last and
leave the general something over $10,-
OOO in pocket. He is probably wise in
taking the chances of the success of q
bill for restoration rather than of one
for q pension. for even q Democratic

Why Eyes Shine

From the Popular Science Monthly:
Place child (because the pupils of
children are lsrge). and by preference
blonde, 1t distance of ten or fifteen
feet from lamp which is the only
source of light in the room, and cause
it to look 1T some object in the direc-
ton of the lamp, turning the eye you
wish to look at slightly inward toward
the nose. Now put your own eye close
behind the lamp fame, with csrd be-
tween it and the fame. Hyou will than
look close by the edge of the flame
covered by the card into the eye of the
child, you will see, instead of a perfect
ly black pupil, reddish yellow circle.
If the eye happens to be hypermetro-
pic, you will be able to see the red re-
flex when your own eye is at some dis
lance to one side of tho flame. This is
the true explanation of the luminous
appearance of the eyes of some animals
when they are in comparative obscure
ty. It is simply the light reflected
from the bottom of their eyes, which is
generally of q reddish tinge on account
of the red blood in the vascular layer of
the cboroid back of the semi-transpar-
ent retina, and not light that is gener-
ated there at al. This reflection il
most apparent when the animal is in
obscurity, but the observer must be in
the light. and somewhat in the relative
position indicated in the above-des-
crilo6 axnorimont--kl,ok 10 kh> ova ~
the observer must be on the same line
with the light and the observing eye.
The eyes of nearly all animals are
hypermetropic, most Of them very high
" 80, 90 that they send out the rays of
light which have entered them in very
diverging manner.

How It Fee1s TO Be in q Battle.

BY George +. WliamA
The question has been often asked:
"How do soldiers feel when in battle ?"
and it is one difficult to answer. A
long experience among veterans in the
ranks leads the writer to believe that
the emotion experienced in going under
fire is much the same with all men.
To the raw recruit the crash of small
arms and the roar of cannon were sim
ply APPALLING; he felt that he was going
forward to certain death. With pale
cheeks, and clenched teeth he held his
place, determined to do Ills duty az best
he might. If very much excited he
loaded his musket, and, forgetting to
put on the necessary percussion can.
went through the motion of firing, on
ly to ram q fresh cartridge on the
top of the first one, when, for the first
time using = cap, he was inconti.
nently knocked down by the tremendous
recoil of his gun, and believed no wa.
badly wounded. Instances are known
where muskets have been found on bat
tle-fields containing six or seven car
tridges. Finally the green soldier dis.
covers that he is not hurt, and tina
everybody does not get killed in an en-
gagement, so he regsins confidence and
passes successfully through his baptism
of fire.
To the veteran it is far different.
He knows too we'll that every battle re-
duces the average chance of his escape,
yet 80 habituated does he become to
rattling fusilades and desperate charges
be scarcely heeds the danger surround
ing him. The shrek of the shells over
his head, the buzz of the bullets past
his ear, arc now familiar sounds, and,
trusting to the chances of war, the in
fantryman fires rapidly with his mus
ket, or the artilleryman calmly rams
home another charge of grape and can.
lister - hls battery opens at close range
on IN advancing body of the enemy
All men are naturally afraid of death.
but the trained and experienced soldier
learns to keep down that fear, and non
chalantly do whatever is required OF
him.

Garfield and Tucker.

Mrs. Garfield did very graceful and
very sensible thing in asking John
Randolph Tucker, of Virginia, to act a.
the guardian of her infant children dur
ing their legal minority. Graceful, be-
cause Tucker was one of Gar6elds
truest friends; sensible, because bet
ter man could not have beon found fol-
that responsible position. When Tuck
or came up from his professorship in
''the University as the Virginians call
it, brilliant, scholarly, big hearted,
old-fashloned Virginia gentleman, to sit
in the House of Representatives, he
sougth out the more cultivated among his
colleagues and made them his friends.
This was not difficult, for no one ever
knew him long without loving him.
Among them all he found no one so con-
genial as Garfield. Although they diff
fered Numerically in most things, yet
they had much in common. Garfield
was big-brained, big boy, hi.
enthusiasm tempered only by his cul.
ture. Tucker was personally as de.
lightful as Garfield, excelling him in
his ability to tell good story, and was
Intellectually his peer in every respect.
At the same time he was morally strong,
as honest as he was fearless, although he
was no better equipped for political life
than Garfield. OF course, their polit
zeal views differed in toto. Tucke,
was state rights man; Garfield was
. nationalist. Tucker was free-trader:
Garfield . protsctionist. But ono
day, after their friendship had
become a fact, Garfield came over to
fuckers desk on the democratic side of
the house and said: fucker, you
know am a protectionist, but I want
that there should be free trade hereaf-
ter between you and me in matters lit
erary." with all my heart" respond
ed Tucker, and from that time TO tho
day of Garfield's death thew were tho
closest friends. They both loved liter
sture-all letters ancient and modern,
but perhaps most of all, the Greek and
Latin classics. Every day they man
aged to steal time from even the most
epgrossing of their legislative duties
for an excursion into those ever bloom
ing fields. Sometimes they met in the
library, sometimes in committeeman
or again on the floor of the house itself.

Why He Let Suddenly.

A young man from Boston, Who had

France is suffering, like England,
from the growth of manufactures in
other countries, but with the differences
that the farmers, who are clamoring
there for protection, are the wealthiest
classes in the country; the suffering is
in Urge industrial centers, and that
trade Is in the wors: condition among
dealers in the costly articles of luxury.
In Paris the number of stores in the

The True Heaven on Earth.

Robert G. Ingersoll.
If there is any heaven on earth, it is
where just the right man marries Just
the right woman. and there is no wav

hate man who thinks a woman should
obey him. I had rather be q slave
than q master. had rather be robbed
than be robber. All that I ask for
womankind is simple liberty, and let
the man love the woman as she should
be loved. As one of the old sacred
books of the Hindus says: "Man is
straightforward is beauty, man is

is strength and woman is wis.
dom, and where there is one
man loving one woman, and one woman
loving one man, in that house the very
angels love to come and sit and sing"
lbelieve, then, in perfect freedom; 1
believe in perfect justice, and where q
man loves q woman she never grows old
TO him. Through the wrinkles of age
and through the mask of time he sees
the sweet maiden face that he loved and
won. And when q wo man really loves
man he does not grow gray; he does
not grow decreplt, he is not old, but to
her he is the same gallant gentleman
forever that won her heart and hand.
