Enoch Arden in the Pension Office

Washington Letter in Boston Traveller.
Tt 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
servafion only short time ago, which
shows this to marked degree. About
two weeks since he received letter from
man signing himself Eli Johnson of one
| of the small towns in his state, saying that
months and months ago he made an apph-
cation for apension, and, as his papers
were complete without flaw, he wished
/ to ascertain where the hitch was and
/ how much longer he would have to
wait He furthermore stated that he
served during the war in company +,
| first California cavalay, and that the re-
cords of the War Department would
show such to he the fact. Mr.. Cassidy
4 went to Commissioner Dudley andlooked
up the papers in the case, when, judge
1 of his surprise, he found tina the records
/ showed that johnson was killed in bat
tie, and that his widow had received back
/ pay previous to 1879 of sum amounting
i to over ST, 900. She, however, believing
that johnson was dead, had married a
Mr.. Sill, and was residing in Florida.
Mr. Cassidy communicated these facts
4 to Mr. johnson, and the latter answered
saying that he had heard that his wife
mad died while he was away to the war
He came east, and went down south and
claimed his wife, and the couple only {
day or two ago started for his home il
Nevada. The only party who is mo-
entirely satisfied with the ,lenouemen,
is Mr. Sill, who finds himself minus I
wife.

A whale measuring fifty feet in length

A whale measuring fifty feet in length
was stranded on the shore Of Accomac
county, Va, few days ago. Five fish
erman attacked the monster by shoot
ing and chopping it and secnred it with
two anchors held by ropes passed
through holes cut in its flesh. The
captors were at work about the levia-
than for several hours, and it was
| thought to be dead. When the tide
came in at night, however, the creature
! displayed renewed vitality, and Icy a
desperate struggle escaped from cap
tivity, carrying the cables and anchors
4 with it. No moro was seen of it till the
second day after, when it was discoy-
cred in the channel dead, and was towed
ashore. It will probably yield rs bar
| rels.of oil.
Electric lighting for the public high
ways in Boston, the Transcript of that
| city says, lis more expensive than gas,
and as luxury may answer very well
in the cases ofsqunres and parks. But
/ when it comes to making the lighting
of the streets, particularly in the centra
/ portions Of Boston, dependent upor
every severe storm, and when to that i.
added the liability of our fire alarm
] system being seriously damaged and oui
fire department temporarily thrown
back on old methods of giving alarms
with the consequent danger of grea
losses, it is apparent how expensive
luxury this electric lighting may be

Making a Purse Of her Boot.

A colored girl, who was apparently still

began eyeing her feet. The conductor re-
peated his demand, and the girl began
fumbling with one Of her button boots.

The boot had an unusually capacous toe,
and, when she had taken of this outer
covering for her foot, she put her hand in

but tiny piece Of cloth in the folds Of
which we're few nickels, with one of which
she paid her fare. Some of the passengers
Uttered, but one of them asked the girl
sympa,heticaliy why she used her boot for
purse. The girl, who had hitherto re-
mained silent, now exclaimed indignant
ly:
Then men who laugh at me ougher
had their own pockets picked, as l'se had,
and then they might put their money in
their boots if they had any what wouldn't
leak"
This simple and expressive rebuke and
explanation told the whole story, and
secured for the poor colored girl the sym
pathy of the passengers. besides little
substantial aid.
