A Remarkable Memory.

The following interesting letter of
DIR. p. ID. Bradford of Mortified, VT,
relates to Rev. Stephen Herrick, the
father of the venerable Stephen Her
rick of MiddleseX:
Mr. Editor:-In my boyhood l was
well acquainted with" Father Herrick,"
as he was Familiarity called. well re-
member the first act congress passed
giving pensions to Revolutionary SOL
diers. 1t gave pensions only to such
soldiers as were worth at that time less
than five hundred dollars. That law
was severely criticised by the press. A
soldier who had served faithfully in the
army, and after his return had been in
dustrious and accumulated $500 or
more, was not entitled to pension; but
if he had been a spendthrift or had
drunk up his earnings, then he was to
be paid pension as premium for his
poverty. AT the next session of con-
gress that law was amended so as to
give pensions to all Revolutionary sol
diers without regard to their pecuniary
circumstances. " Father Herrick then
applied for pension, making his own
application, but he was soon informed
that his name could not be found upon
the roster in the war department. He

The Wooden TOOthpick.

The toOthpick, in its various forms,
has become one of the adjuncts of civ
ilization. 1t seems like an insignificant
thing, of little value; but the import
ance of little things is finely portrayed
by the facts which a wooden toothpick
manufacturer has given to Tribune
reporter: "We began to make wooden
toothpicks fifteen years ago, and while
another company now shares the whole
sale trade, we were the sole manufac-
turers of the article for ten years. We
have a white-wood pick made of poplar,
and hardwood kind made of birch.
The picks are all made in Maine, the
lumber of the state supplying the mate
rial. Sometimes we flavor picks, say
with cinnamon or wintergreen. What
does the trade amount to in wooden
picks? Well, | should say about twelve
thousand cases year, one thousand of
which are exported to Europe and
Mexico. "A case contains one hundred
boxes, and each box has two thousand
five hundred picks. SO, you see, there's
billions in it, Has the business in
creased much? About twenty-five per
cent, in the last three years. Orange
wood picks, imported, are to be found
in some clubs, and also favored wood
pick from Japan. Quilts are wholly i'm
ported. Russia and Sweden furnish
the material, and those countries, with
France and Germany, also manufacture
the articles as we get ii. The work is
done altogether by hand, Peasant-folk,
after their daily work is done, sit down
with sharp knife and add to their pin
money by cutting these quilts, This
adds to their price here, of course.
Perhaps some inventive American will
construct a machine some day that will
turn them out rapidly and make them
as popular as the wooden picks now
seem TO be-"

SOLDIER, FAIRLEB. January 26,
1885, the pension Office had reached
claim No. 52S,494 of the invalid de-
partment and would adjudicate as soon
as sufficient testimony had been re-

claims filed to January %, 1885, was
$40, 900. Your second question will be
answered on the receipt of your name.

for appointment and how to make an

The great demand for it comes from
the democrats. 1t will be of very little

A. M. A., SPRINGFIELD.-The claim
ant who employed Mr.. Fitzgerald of
Washington as her attorney is not
obliged to employ the attorney to whom
he sold his claims. The secretary of
the interior made an order that the lat
ter attorney would be recognized if the
claimant signed an agreement to that
effect. In the printed papers sent out
that part of the secretary's order that
the claimant must agree to the change
of attorneys is Intentionally omitted,
which leads the claimant to suppose
she must accept the attorney that Fitz-
gerald has selected. She can, however,
employ any attorney she desires to COM
plete her claim. All the testimony filed
in her case can be used by any new at
torney.
ANSWERS to several correspondents
are necessarily deferred to next week.
