Now. Jim!

We had lost sight of our popular
young merchant, Jimmie Kimberling,
but had never thought Of the possibility
of his slipping away and getting married.
Still he's old enough, and deserves the
good wife whom he secured over on the
other side of the Ohio. A Virginia pa
per thus tells the story:
"Mr. James Kimberling, of Jackson,
Ohio, and Miss Bette Musgrave, of the
Flats, were married at the elegant resi-
dence of the brides father, Mr.. Asa Mus
grave, Wednesday morning. The we'd
ding was very quiet affair, only the i'm
mediate friends being present. They
will leave OH an extended tour through
the EaSt.'-Pt Pleasant MOUnt0i7l State.

that his official duties are just now-or

exacting. At that time he was just start

Isaac Romaine, who served in a Ken
lucky regiment during the war, tells an
anecdote of himself that is worth repeat
ing, as showing the vigilance exercised
by the young soldiers of the Republic,
during the war. He was small boy,
and doing his first picket duty. "Be care
full and watchful," said the officer, "for
three men have already been killed on
this post. If you see anybody approach
ing, halt them three times, then if they
do not stop, fireY In an hour or so Ike
heard crunching in the snow, and saw
a. dark object approaching, cautiously.
AS soon as it got near enough to distin-
guish its outline, he saw clearly that it
was man. He knew by the movements
that it was a most deadly and ferocious
enemy. But Ike would not be fooled
with. He concluded to shoot first, and
halt the fellow afterward. Resting his
gun on fence, he attempted to sight
along the barrel, but it was his first Reb-
el, and the gun swayed to and fro like a
willow branch. Ike kept his head, how
ever, and as the gun swung over toward
the Rebel, Ike pulled the trigger and
yelled "haltw The fellow was evidently
not killed, as he took to his heels prompt
ly. The boys all turned out and rested
on their arms until daylight, when they
went in search of the wounded Rebel,
tracking him easily by the blood in the
snow. Finally they found the poor fel
low hidden in the thicket. He was wound
ed in the fore-leg. He was little, man.

PRESIDENT AND PENSION BILLS.

The Pensioners Receive Better Care Under
Democratic Administration Than Ever
Before-More Pensions Granted-Mor'
Money Paid-MOre Soldiers Given Place,
In the Pension Department.
From speech made by Hon. VIM. NJ
springer, of Illinois, in congress, July
9, 1886, we make the following extracts
Mr.. Speaker: l desire to call atten
lion to the fact that the gentlemen OF
)ther side of the chamber have takeI
advantage Of this debate TO arraigu tht
democratic party and the president be
fore the country as being unfriendly tt
pensioners. Nothing could be further
from the truth l hold in my hand q
statement which have compiled from
the statutes at large, which shows tint
number OF private pension bills tina,
have been passed since 1869
This statement shows that durint
the eight years when Gen. Grant wat
president OF the United States there
were passed sac bills granting pensions
TO soldiers in special cases. During the
Forty fifth congress there were 23S OF
these special pension bills passed; dur
ng the Forty sixth congress there vert
"a; during the Forty. congress
iueT6 WtIc lOls UuflDG luG II OINg -Slbhth
congress there were 552.
A day or two ago the gentleman from
Indiana (Mr. Browne), who was chair
man of the committee on invalid pen
sions during the Forty seventh congress
prayed the Almighty to have mercy
upon the soul of a man who could veto
such q bill as was then before the house
ask the pensioners of the country
whether they can forgive the gentleman
from Indiana, (Mr. Browne) Tor having
secured the passage through congress OF
only 15l of these special pension bills
during the two years he was chairman
of the committee on invalid pensions,
when they see that the other gentle
man from Indiana on this side
of the house (Mr. Matson), who
is now chairman OF that committee
and was in the last congress, secured the
passage in that congress of 552 such
bills? Five hundred and fiftytwo of
these special pension bills were passed
through the forty eighth congress when
my distinguished democratic friend
from Indiana Mr.. Matson was chair
man OF the committee, as against 151
passed during the congress when the
gentleman from Indiana on the other
side Mr.. Browne was chairman of the
committee, aud when both HOUSES of
congress were republican and the presi.
dent also.
During this congress there have been
passed and become laws up 10 this time
575 pension bills, 20 or 80 more than
were passed during the entire eight
