A Pension Once Romance.

Washington Cor. Boston Traveller.
1t frequently happens that the Pen
sion Office furnishes romance, which
reads more like the flights of fiction than
the stern reality Of truth. Congressman
Cassidy of Nevada relates an incident
which happened under his personal OBJ.
servation only short time ago, which
shows this to be marked degree. About
two weeks since he received a letter
from man signing himself as Eli John.
son, of one of the small towns in his
State, saying that months and months
ago he made an application for a PEN
sion, and as his papers were complete
and without flaw, he wished to ascer-
tain where the hitch was and how much
longer he would have to wait. He fur
thermorc stated that he served curing
the war in Company F, First California
Cavalry, and that the reccr rds of the War
Department would show such to be the
fact. Mr. Cassidy went to Commissioner
Dudley and looked up the papers in the
case, when judge of his surprise, he found
that the records showed that Johnson
was killed in battle, and that his widow
had received back pay, some time prev
ious to 1879, of a sum amounting to over
$1,000. She, however, believing that
johnson was dead, had married a Mr..
Sill, and was residing in Florida. Mr..
Cassidy commun icatea these facts to Mr..
Johnson and the latter answered, saying
that he had heard that his wife had
died while he was away to the war. He
came East and went down South and
claimed his wife, and the couple only a
day or two ago started for his home in
Nevada. The only party who is not en-
tirely satisfied with the denouement
is Mr.. Sill, who finds himself minus a
wife.

The Wrong Trousers.
Baltimore Special to Inter-ocean.

Baltimore Special to Inter-Ocean.
A scandal, in which some very unusu-
al incidents appear, was brought to light
to-day by the filing of an application for
divorce by Henry Clark, conductor in
the employ of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad. Clark left his residence We'd
nesday evening last, after telling his
wife that he was going to leave that
night for Martinsbuag, w. Va. He did
not go, however, but returned home at
a late hour and retired to bed, his wife
having already done so. Soon after
Mrs Clark complained of severe cramps
and begged her husband to get up and
go to the drug shore for medicine. He
hastily drew on pair of trousers and
hurried upon the errand. His surprise
may be imagined when on looking down
while waiting for the medicine lie found
that the trousers he had on were several
inches too short for him. He felt some
thing bulky in one of the pockets, and
placing his hand therein drew forth n
roll ofbills amounting to $3.50. He then
concluded that his presence at home
was far more urgent than his wife's ne
cessities for the medicine and fastened
there but the man who had invaded
his home and with whom he had unNit-
tingly changed clo;hipg, had by this
time beaten hasty retreat. The trous-
ers which the latter took away belonged
IN the hushapl and contained only a fnv
dollars. As the wife was not able TO ex-
plain matters with satisfaction the hus-
band ordered her to leave the house,
with which request she complied. The
tell-tale trousers and contents were sent
to the wife of the gay Lothario, who has
grown children.

winters Memorable for Cold.
Hartford Times,


Probably the winter of l74l was
marked by the deepest snow of any win
ter in this or the last century, in New
England at least. What little is known
of it is only known from tradition, but if
this can be relied upoE there has been
nothing to equal it since. And it was
savage winter, too. The humble old
farm-heuses of those days were said to
have been buried to the roofs in snow

OF 1872, Napoleon's fatal winter, was
notably severe one on both sides of the
Atlantic, but more especially 10 Europe.
All Tery cold winters seem to be marked
by deep SHOWS. The winters of 1921 and
1881, and especially Of 1886, were
memorably severe, the snow lying deep
and long. The winter of 1896 was
hard one, with deep snow. lasting late
into the spring. A snow storm that

The Dream of Millionaire. widow.

lDenver Letter In the Albany Journal.
The Warren'1liff marriage is quite a
romance. II seems that before the good
Bishop net Mrs Tiff she dreamed that
her late husband appeared to her and
advised her to marry gentleman whom
he described. When she met Bishop
Warren she at once recognized him as
the very image Of her dream and II Is
not probable that the splendid-appear-
ing preacher had hard task in winning
her. This may be dangerous precedent
and encourage other rich widows to go
to dreaming.

er at Christmas time, 1872 was very
heavy one. This present winter of 1884
is not TO be sneezed at Perhaps 1t may
be due 10 the increase of thermometers
and telegraphs from Nova Scotia to

W. N Oothout of Rochester, who called the
meeting to order. spoke against the Roosevelt hlgn
license law. The true remedy for the spread OF
ntemperance he thought, was TO have high
license for spirtuous liquors and low license Tor
malt liquors. The report OF the Board OF trustees
called attention to the efficient action taken by
the association in the last election, when over
$4,000 votes were cast against Mr. Maynard, the

Howard Crosby in favor of temperance were APP

opinion as to the best methcd Of bringing about
better state of affairs. He believed that the only
effect that high license would have would be to
drive a large number of small men from legit-
mate to an illegtimate business. He favored fight
ing prohibition to the last. There is in the State
