W. B. Morgan, a one-legged man, who for the past five years was to be seen al- most daily on the streets of this city left yeeterday for California to take up his abode iu the soldiers home at Napa. Morgan was an ex-soldier and although not a member of the Grand Army it was through its influence that he secured entry to the Home. A subscription to defray attendent expenses ot sending him away was taken up and the amount needed cheerfully subscribed. The Southern Pacific railroad company gen erously granted him 6 first-clsss half fare from here to Naps. Yesterday Re cOrder Sampson, who together with other members of Negley Post had taken an interest in Morgan's affair, saw him safely started on the train.

TIE Star tries to be funny over Der gers misfortunes. That journal does not seem to realizs that it is serious matter, to be put out of ones house and with g wife and little children driven from home iD the dead of winter. Agent Wheeler hBs just ss much right and authority to eject the editor of the Star from his premises Tn Tucson, as he did Berger. Suppose Wheeler had ejected the editor of the Star and his family from his home in Tucson, how would he feel about it? Where would the laugh come in?

THE Masous of Quebec and England have qusrreled. The Grand Master of Quebec has issued Gn edict of non inter course against the Grand Lodge of En- gland. The quarrel originated in what seems to be a coufiict of authority. There are a number of lodges in Montreal, which exist by virtue or concordant made by Lord Ziji8nd representing the Grand Lodge If England and Grand Master Wilson of the Grand Lodge of Canada. In referring to this quarrel, correspondent uf the Chicago Tribune says:
 This concordant was honorable ob- served by both the grand bodies of En- gland and Canada untiA the formation of the Grand Lodge ofNQuebec. Lat terly this body found its dignity hurt and its jurisdiction menaeed by the exis- tence of the English lodges, and netition after petition has been sent to the Prince of Wales requesting the withdrawal Ot the warrants. After much correspond ence the Grand Lodge of England unan- imOusly refused to accede to the request of Quebec: hence Grand Master John sons edict. All interest centers m the approaching meeting of the Grand Lodge of Quebec, which opens at Mon- treal January 2S. when the e iict of non intercourse will be discussed. Just now it seems as if the Grand Lodge of Can ada will be drawn int the nght along with the majority of American Grand Lodges In the event of the Grand Lodge ot Canada taking the Quebec slde in the quarrel, it Is said the Prince of Wales will authorize the charterIrg of English lodges in Ontario. At pres ent all is conjecture as to the course that will be pursued by American grand lodges, but already number of Grand Masters have telegraphei thelr approval of Quebecs position to Grand Master Johnson.

Pickpockets and Fat People.
TExchanrel


 -It is my opinion, T said a gentleman of experience in the matter. that pick pockets are always very particular in pick ing out their victims, as to what kind of persons they are. have heard many complaints by cOrpulent people about this kind of robbery. and I therefore infer that the thief has partiality for bulky persons Do you ask whyy l am pretty sure it is because such people are less nervous and fidgetty anu slower in their movements than others of moderate size. and are not very apt to turn around suddenly, or take much notice of any little rub or ios;ling against them The hand of the pick pocket therefore. finds the bag or pocket of a fat person 10 be its best customer. and invariably succeeds in making a good bargain \ thin. nervous person, you see. would bc constantly on the alert. 50 that it would be difficult to take anything from him and not disturb him; but tho fieshy person falls into passive attitudes and reveries that render him quite UucOn- scious of the soft, sly hand.

Disclosures in the Greedy Expedition.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 31.-The Ex- aminer's Washington special says: The withdrawal of the recommendation by the military committee to provide for an assistant signal officer with the rank of colonel, created great excitement. It has been supposed that this recommen- dalton was in the interest of It. Greelv. and with the understanding that he was to have 1t. The reason assigned for the withrawal of the recommendation is that the committee has decided some time ago not to recommend anything to the new legislation. It Is stated. however, and this Is where the sensation comes in. that the request was withdrawn be cause of the knowledge which members of the military committee have of the contents of some of the diaries brought back from the Arctic expedition. These are said give strong ground that three, If not four of the forty were shot for food, and at one timo the waters were open and smooth between Cape Sabine and Littleton IslanG Earnest appeals were made to It. Groelv to allow the party to attempt the crossing in the boats, but this was refused and the boats broken instead. The whole matter was regarded as 60 grave by the committee that It was decided best to take no steps till the matter can be fully investigated. In this the friends of Greedy concurred. holding in his interest the subject of the exact contents of those diaries and theIr reliability should be examined and set at rest. Tho disclosures of the whole in- side history of the Arctic clnnibal hor TOTS is threatening and there is pros pect for q number of unseemly out breaks in the war department and signal service circles surpassing all previous disgraces in that direction.
