BACK Pay and Bounty.

The treasury department has issued the fol-
lowing circular in regard to claims for back
pay and bounty:
The steady increase in the number of claims
in their settlement, has produced great pres
sure to have such claims made Especial" A
compliance with numerous requests made for
claims settled out of the order of their recep-
tior. would work great injustice to a large and
worthy class of claimants who have not the in
tluence themselves andno influential friends to
solicit favors on their behalf. 1t is believed
that proper regard for the rights of all parties
requires claims of the character mentioned to
be examined and disposed of in the order of
their filiag in this office, exceptions being made
only when the party Interested is in INDECENT
peenniary nd, S or when henson some other eaualiy
good and sufficient reason shall exist far ex-
cepticn, the facts iustifying exception being
certified upon the personal knowledge of a re-
ordered accordingly.

The character of the "squeersn in

The character of the "Squeersn in
Nicholas Nickelly, has been considered
overdrawn by good people who have
not had opportunities for observation,
or who were constitutionally blind to
revolving objects. But Charles Dickens
was conscientious and knew that facts
would show that the stSqueers" had nu-
mcrous representatives the world over.
They are not 80 numerous as formerly
thanks to Dickens-but now and then
one of these revolving characters is OK
posed to the public. In Chicago, 6
woman named Mrs. Anna Schock was
on trial the other day in the criminal
court for alleged cruelty to children
nnder her charge in the . Home" at La
grange, near that city. T he inmates
numbered about twenty, and ranged
from II to fourteen years. "A
number were left at the Home by
indignant parents, and the remainder
were orphans The "Home" was sup
ported largely ~ public subscriptions.
The prosecution offered the testimony
oss. attending physician and former
employees, which tended to show that
the children were almost totally ms
carei for; that the Home" was horri-
bly, filthy, and that the basement where
the children were compelled tc pass q
greater portion Of the day was also used
asa COW stable. One witness declared
the p~reTailing diet for the children was
mush and potatoes, and that their beds
= soiled and wet. Il was contended
by other Witnesses that the health Of
the children had been utterly broken
While inmates. After such 8 reveln-
ltion ia America, let no one say that
Charles Dickens invented or exaggerated:

III. uneasy Head that wears a crown

London Special: 1t now transpires that sew
eral anonymous letters threatening the life of
Queen Victoria during her journey to Darn
stadt had been received at Windsor castle pre-
yious to her departure, and it was this fact
which led to the adoption of the extraordinary
precautionary measures mentioned.
Hermajesty and Princess Beatrice performed
the journey to Sheerness in safety, all
the arrangements for their protection being
carried out according to programme. In adj
dition to the safeguards previously announced
a line of signal men were stationed along the
entire line of railway from Wind
sor to Sheerness so close together as to DO plain
ly visible to each other, and with orders to
maintain q continuous patrol, Watching the
track for distinctions, and tagging the pilot
engine and the royal train if necessity arose.
The carriages Immediately in the front and
rearof her maiesty's were filled with constables
from Scotland Yard, and a detective stood be-
side the engine driver on each of the locomo-
hves. The journey was, however, without any
notable incident, and the queen is now safely
ensconced upon the royal yacht Osborne in
Sheerness harbor, whence she will start for
Flushing, Holland, at an early hour on the
morning Of the 18th.

When Herbert Spencer attributed
American ervo diseases to hurry and
ovarwork, everybody assented to the
truth Of his remark, because instances
had come under the observation of all.
substantiating it. But nerve doctors Of.
old settled regions and centers of wealth
affirm that diseases Of the nervous sys.
tenn, and especially what is known as
nervous prostration " are caused not
only by oyerwork but by overriding.
Dr.. De Beer, who has lately been lee
turing inthe east, spoke emphatically
of the nerve failure which not
from mental exertion, but from mental
relaxation. The oilers who from luxur-
ious modes Of life become
adissolute and incapable, are those
destined to complete de-
cay and premature old age. The
same view Of nervous prostration was
given by q lecturer before the Philadel-
pilia county medical society. He said;
at lie the ease and luxury Of our Amer
lean life that aus mischief. 1t is the
Indulgence Of eating and drinking, the
abuse OF alcohol and tobacco, sexual ex-
cesses, sedentary habits, and too luxur-
ions lives generally that induce that
state Of the system called nervous az
haustion, But the direct cause ofner-
vous prostration is certainly fatigue
which may be produced in many ways,
by too much worry, too little sleep, by
9 81 any kind. II is goodlfor the
brain to be active, and SO far from being
injured by severe labor, carried on un-
der normal conditions, the brain is inn
proved. It is the abnormal conditions OF
excitement and dissipation that iniure
and produce nervous prostration.

New Anecdotes of Washington.

The biographer of q well known
Pennsylvania, recently published,
gives one or two anecdotes of Wash
ington which have never been in print
before. They throw a e light on
his character, and show him to have
been more human, if less perfect, than
the model man portrayed by Weems.
His friend and neighbor painted the
Father of his Country as so absolutely
faultless as to be tedious. The volume
which we quote gives him the credit OF
being once, at least, in o just rage.
A respectable mechanic of Philadel-
phia who reached a venerable age, told
the author that he was employed to
make some alterations in President
Washington's house. One day q pretty
servant-girl, passing down the stairs,
gave q scream of terror. One of the
officers coming out of the drawing
room had attempted to kiss her.
The President was in his own room:
he van out in his shirt-sleeves, half
shaved He was extremely angry, and
gave The man a kick which hurried him
down the stairs, calling out, Lear, turn
dHlt fellow out! I'll have no mar in
my house who insults q woman!"
There are preserved in Philadelphia
several private accounts of the last time
Washington appeared in public in that
| city, which show the devouted LOYALTY of
affection with which he was regarded by
] tho napn1a 4 u-oS n thn r,,oc,pr &c
Adams inauguration, which took place
in the old State House.
After the ceremony was over the new
president, followed by Vice President
Jefferson, went ont in state to present
himself to the people who were massed
outside. They were received with APP
plause.
But when Washington in his citizens
dress appeared behind them a dead 81
lencefell on the vast crowd. They knew
he was leaving them forever. He
passed down the street, and they fol-
lowed him as one man, leaving Adams
and Jefferson unnoticed.
Down Chestnut Street to Fourth the
great mass followed as silent as if at a
funeral. When he came to the Indian
Queen hotel he went up on the step and
turned in the doorway to look at them.
"Then there burst FORTH" says the
chronicler, "a great in~articulate sob, a
cry that rent the air. The tears rolled
down his cheeks. He raised his hand
slowly, with a gesture of farewell and
benediction. The door closed on him
and they saw him no more"
The crowd dispersed in absolute 81
ience, and the town was plunged in
gloom as though every man mourned
for one dead.-Youth's Companion.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. ~. Additional
information rom O'Fallon, Illinois, -iyeS
the following facts regarding the terrible
brief mention ofwhich was made in these
dispatches last night:
About 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon
Mrs. Ricu Crowther was found in the
SIuOkc-nuIl~e on the premises Oi her SON
in-law, john \. Lehman, with her throat
cut from ear to ear, but not yet dead.
There seemed to be ne motive for the
dred. but two hours later it was discov-
cred to be the sequence of II crime still
more horrible and ghastly. Mrs. Cor
mac, II highly respectable widow lady,
was found living murdered in Il garden
adjoining her residence, "a halt mile
from town. Her head and face
were droadfully beaten and blood
stained. a piece of an iron Kettle
and Il club were lying near. AS it was
known that Mrs. Lrowther entertained
bad feelings toward Mrs. COrnlac, il
was suspected that there was more than
Il mere coincidence between the murder
and the attempted suicide, and on ques-
tioning Mrs. Crowthcr she confessed
she had killed Mrs. Cormac, bu' it is
not Vet known why she committed the
deed. An inquest is now in progress
aud it Is expected all facts will be
brought out. Mrs. CrOwther died be-
tween 9and 10 o'clock last night with
out making any connected statement,
but the Oroner has three letters, written
10y her, which, it is presumed, will re-
veal the cause of tho tragedy. Mrs.
Crowthrr was As years old, and was the
wife OF Thomas CrOwther, II coal miner.
She had been divorced twice before mar
rying CroAlher, and had lived Il very
unhappy life. Mrs. Cormac was Il
widowed sister of Hon. Is. j. NanCOurt,
owner and operator of coal mines near
O'Fallon. She was very highly es-
leenied and lived "A retired life on a place
of her own on the outskirts of town.
A Post Dispatch, Alton, Illinois spe-
cial says: The c%Oroner'S jury returned
y verdict that Maria Cornac was MUIR
dnred by Fredenrha Crowther, and that
the Latter then committed suicide. Three
letters left by Mrs. Crowther throw no
Ii .ht on the tragedy, but bear evidence
that the murderesS was of unSOund
mind. Inquests were held on the bodies
of Mrs. Cormac and Mrs. Gran her, not
"Crowther." this morning, and after
taking considerable testimony, the jury
returned verhicts that Mrs. Maria Cor
mac was murdered by Mrs. Fredancha
Granthrr, and that Mrs. Granther
committed suicide by cutting her throat

that she was of unsound mind. and

sensible Letter, Etc.

DUpUQUr, Ia, Aug, 25.-The Herald
will publish Tomorrow the following
letter from Gov. Hendricks, received by
II citizen of this city, in answer to an in
quiry concerning the all, ciing II
change in the National Democratic
ticket consequent upon the reports pub
iished against Gov. Cleveland:
INDIANAPoLis, Aug. 81, ISL have
your letter of the 18Th instant. cannot
consider with favor your suggestions of
II change in the National ticket. The
action of the convention cannot
be now reconsidercd. 1t must
stand, and / think it ought
to stand. do not agree with you in re
gard to the probable result. think the
probabilities arc all favorable to the sue
cess of our ticket. The Cleveland scaG-
dial will not have weight with the pep
pie and ought not to have weight. 1t is
unworthy the national contest. Three
times GOV. Cleveland has stood the test
OF popular calumnics: one for the office
of MavOr OF his OTn city,
and each time he received the
endorsement of his nciEhbnrs by u vote
largely above his party strength.
Whatever there may have been of the
scandal existing before that, it is not
Just either to him or the REQ
pie now to revive it. The public welfare
requires that he be jndged Ivy his pubic
record, by his capliil ~ and fitness for
the discharge of responsible and imp'r-
publicdutieS, and not by old and
exploded private SANDER.
Very respectfully yours,
