1t is worthy of note that both the new

tional Grand Army organization, elected
at Portland last week, went to The war as

An Inference from Plagiarism.

1t is curious how the most fragrant in
stances of plagiarism often pass without
detection, until subsequent circumstances
bring the culprit to justice. Not one Of
the literary gentlemen who examined the
recent prize essays of the Elmra grad
yates, recognized the hand of one of our
most popular writers, Charles Dudley
Warner, in the production submitted by
the young lady who took the prize Yet
the essay was published in II recent vol
ume of Mr.. Warmers writings, and ought
to have been familiar to anyone who keeps
abreast of the literature of the day. Maga-
zine editors are also frequently "taken
in by plagarized contributions. AS a
people, undoubtedly, we are care
less about our reading habits. In
the rush and hurry of our daily lives,
we find little time to read, and what we dc
read Is mainly Tor mental recreation. The
book publishers overWhelm us with theiI
literary wares. We have no time to read
in Il year what pours from the press in a
single week. The very abundance of good
Iiteiature, strange rs ii may seem, is il
itself sometimes an embarrassment
and a Encouragement to the read
er. And abandoning, too often, al
attempt at systematic reading, he turns
to current fiction, knowing that it makes
little difference what he reads in this class
of literature, provided that it only please,
and unbends the mind, for the hour.
III tendency is likely to result in the
| degradation of American literature. IL
| iact.it has already done so, to some extent
| The time seems to be at hand when the
current of all our literary talent is 10 b,

not because we have no good poets, 1T
bright essayists, but because the risk in
volved in placing their works be

TO be exceedingly cautious about accepting

them to make the author responsible 70

is that men and women who are capabl

The Veterans and the Pension Grab

The self-respect, and regard for the pub
lie welfare, which as Il rule characterize
the old soldiers who fought for the Union
were never more plainly and emphatically
exhibited than at the recent National &.
\. X. eucampment mt Portland, in their
refusal to sanction the proposed pension
grab, which was advocated so strongly
during the last campaign and in the last
Congress. The hi as our readers re
member, provides that the government
shall give to CrCrh soldier who served in
the civil war II pension of eight dollars a
month 1t is but just to say that this
movement did not originate with the sol
dcrs, but was framed and pushed by the
unSCrup ulOus pension agents at Washing
ton, who hoped in this way to enrich
themselves.
The Grand Army BoyS-to their honor
be it said-retused to give their endorse
ment to this scheme. 1t was great temp
tatlon, of course. Here were thousands
of men, who had fought bravely and well
for their country, laying time strength,
and perhaps IN some cases health on the
altar OF patriotism and who think them
selves rs well worthy to be recognized by
the government, as many who have re
ceved pensions. 1t would perhaps, have
been hardly surprising if these veteran
soldiers, many of them, growing old, poor,
and with families dependent upon their
earnings, had added their endorsement to
Il measure which, upon first sight, would
seem to he just and proper? But there
were brave and generous hearts and wise
heads among these defenders of the Ma
tons life that recoiled from the thought
of adding to the burdens of taxation a
sum so large as the proposed pension bill
required. The same spirit of patriotism
and regard for the public welfare which
inspired them to take up arms for the ma.
TONS defence, was still so strong within
them that they refused to approve meas
ure, the adoption OF which could not but
seriously embarrasS the government, if il
did not bankrupt the public treasury. Hav.
ing been repudiated by those whose inter.
ests are most closely concerned, the fate OF
the bill is now undoubtedly sealed. Ant
when it is finely defeated, the public viii
not forget that 1t was the boys of tn,
Grand Army who killed it.

The legislature of Massachusetts has
found it necessary to stilfen up the penal
ties for criminal drunkenness. In 1850 the
penalty for intoXlcation was reduced from
fine not exceeding s. and costs to 81
without costs. and the Imprisonment for
non payment of this fine from thirty days
to ten days. This did not work well and
in 1881 the law was 50 changed that the
person convicted might be required to pay
the costs of conviction in addition to the
fine. The new law restores the penalty
for "smple drunk" to the former figure
and the imprisonment for non payment of
fine to thirty days, and provides that II
male person convicted of drunkenness for
a third time within one year, or convicted
of being common drunkard, may he seat
to the Massachusetts refOrmatory for Il
term of two years, subject TO release on
ticket-of-leave when he is thought to be
reformed. The person so released may be
returned to the reformatory if he fails 20
keep sober.
