A CHANCE FOR GENERAL GORDON.
fBoston Record.
General Gordon could do the South
reul service to-day by saying, in the
presence Of the unrcconciled leader Of
the Lost Cause. that the issue of the
struggle for secession was the best for
that section and for all concerned.
The only harm that can result from
glorifying Jeff. Davis. who was really
the most unheroic Of the Southern cad
ers, would be the impression it might
create that the Southern people might
regret that they did not succeed. We do
not believe this IS their feeling, and some
of them should say so.
THE GREAT UNREPENTANT.
IN. Y. Tribune.]
Yesterday was great day for Jeffer-
son Davis and for the first capital Of the
Confederacy. The ex-Confederate Presi-
dent was welcomed by admiring thous-
ands. Bands played, flags waved and
crowds cheered themselves hoarse. The
great unrepentant stood almost upon the
spot where he took the oath Of Office
twenty-five years ago and made few
remarks which aroused unrestrained en-
thusiasm. Short rs Lis speech was, it
showed that he is as thoroughly unre-
constructed MS ever. 1.-The spirit Of
Southern liberty is not dead" The war
was ga holy war Cor defence" The
Southern people are now wrapped in
the mantle of regret" These sentences
give the keynote of his brief address.
Assurcdly nothing but death will ever
reconstruct this -conspirator and
traitor.
ALI. RIGHT, BUT DON'T DO 1T AGAIN.
[Philadsiphia TiInes.l .s,.
Jefferson Davis is ore of the few sur
viving figures Of the late Conrederacy. 1t
is very natural that the people Of Mont
gomery. the capital Of the short-lived
attempt at rival government on Ameri-
can soil, should feel kindly towards him
and give him an old-fashioned ovation
the occasion Of his return to that city a
quarter of a century after his inaugura
ton at the same place as the President
Of the Confederacy. The occasion of his
visit and the consequent out-pouring
to greet him was the dedication Of q
monument to the Confederate dead,
proceeding with which it is impossible to
find fault in while human nature remains
what it is. Monuments to the dead will
be reared while living mon and women
remain on earth to mourn the dead.
The cxpediency Of the demonstration is
very much to be doubted, however. The
bloody shirt politicians Of the North will
useithe extravagant speeches and editori-
ais in praise Of Davis on this occasion
with telling effect in coming campaigns
as evincing determination on the part
Of the people Of the South
not to forget the past. The war is over
and the mass Of the people both North
and South are loyal to Union. The fewer
demonstrations that give occasion for
reviving any Of its bitterness the better
for all concerned.

Jefferson Davis made very brief
speech at Montgomery yesterday, and
the little he did say has done no harm
to anybody. Indeed 1t no doubt dis
appointed those politicians who were
waiting with some impatience to seize
upon his utterances and parade them
as nm evidence that if the South is not
in the saddle it has its riding.boots on

notice.
There is no lack Of enthusiasm at
tho South when the memory Of the
short-lived Confederacy is invoked, and
the people still shout themselye hc--se
when the deeds OF their gallant but mis-
taken soldiers are recalled. The enthu-
siasm which greeted Jefferson Davis
yesterday was greater and deeper than
that excited by his Inauguration as
President of the Confederacy twenty
FIVE years ago. But over the head of
the ''unreconstructed" leader waved the
Federal flag, with its stars and stripes,

A Miraculous Escape from Death.

Congress has passed bill increasing

tell most remarkable story-how this
soldier received seventeen wounds-as
follows: son the Wilson raid, So
called, he was wounded June 2Sth.
1864, in the back of the head, in the
attempt to break through the right flank
of the confederate army. On the fol-
lowing day, during a charge at Stony
Creek, Virginia, he received wound
in the left foot, while mounted upon
his captains pack-mule, two horses hav-
ing been shot from under him. The fol-
lowing morning, the mule being much
jaded and unable to keep up, he was
ordered by his major, commanding the
regiment, to 60 on ahead of the com
mand. BY ten o'clock the command
came up to him and passed him, and at
length he found himself in with a col
umn of three or four thousand colored
refugees, who had deserted their homes
and joined the expedition. At GER
tain point the road curved, and he was
ordered by General Wilson to cut across
lots to the head of the column and Join
his regiment, which he said was in adj
vance. This he proceeded to do, com
ing out on the road some half mile
ahead of the column. Here he was
halted and captured by fourteen of the
enemy's dismounted cavalry, and was
quickly hurried into the thick woods in
the rear. After Wilson's command had
passed, leaving one man as guard
over him, the remainder returned to the
road and picked up and brought back a
private in the Fifth New York Cavalry,
and colored man. Later in the day
the confederates took up the line of
march, as he supposed for prison.
Penetrating the thick wood, they came
upon bride path, which was followed
for some distance. Suddenly one of

Questions Answered.

J.K.H., st. Johnsbury.-A new law has
recently been enacted which removes the
charge of desertion in cases where the sol
der enlisted in another organization with
out first having received a discharge from
the service in which he had previously
served. When the charge of deserton Is
removed in your case you will probably be
entitled to pension.
w. s., Northfeld.-In executing q SOL
dier's voucher for his quarterly payment of
pension his wife could witness his signature,
but it would be preferable to have disinter-
ested party for a witness in such cases. In
signing paper as witness a married
lady should write her own given name and
not the given name of her husband. 1t is in
bad taste for lady to use Mrs. or Miss in
signing her name to official papers
G.. w s., Lebanon, N. H.-If the attorney,
while prosecuting your claim for a pension,
borrowed from you $50, the government
would have no right to compel him to refund
it after your pension was granted, unless you
can make it appear that you paid it and he
received it in consideration of services done
in prosecuting your claim for the pension
You can sue him and collect it in the way
debts are collected, but if, as you say he
owns no property, we know of no way
whereby you can compel him to pay you.
ATTORNEY, Brattleboro.-Under recent
regulations of the treasury department no
attorney can be recognized until he COM
plies with the requirements contained in the
circular of February 6, 1886, issued by Hon.
Daniel Manning, secretary of the treasury,
which requires a person who is not mem
Der of the bar to file a certificate of
Judge of a United States or state court, or
United States district attorney, showing
that the agent is of good moral character,
and competent to render claimants valuable
service and to advise and assist them in the
presentation of their claims. If you cannot
obtain such a certificate, it will be useless
for you to attempt to prosecute claims of
any kind before the treasury department.
n. A. w, Canton, Dakota, writes that
she has received information from Washing
ton that the widow of every soldier who
died from wounds received while in the serv-
ice has just claim againstthe government
for five years half pay, regardless of the
pension they are already drawing, and that
she is the widow of such soldier. She de-
sires to know if she can receive the half pay
mentioned. Soldiers widows in all sections
of the country have received circulars from
Washington claim agents advising them to
apply for such half pay, amounting to be-
tween 500 and $500 in each case. We have
answered several inquiries from such
widows heretofore, stating that we did not
think there was any ground for making such
claims. Both the pension Office and the
treasury department have rendered decs-
ions against every claim of this kind that
has been presented. There is no reason for
you or any other widow of a soldier to eX-
pect to receive any pay of this kind until
some new legislation is had by congress-
DO not employ attorneys to prosecute any
such claim.

THE senate passed bill last week grant
ing pension to all honorably discharged
soldiers who served three months or more
in the rebellion and are disabled and de-
pendent upon their own exertions for a sup
port not to exceed S24 a month. The bill
also provides that no pension paid under
any law hereafter shall be rated less than
81 a month. The act states that a soldier
who is, or shall become, disabled from
any cause not the result of his own fault,
and shall also be dependent upon his own
exertions for a support or upon the contr-
buttons of others not legally bound thereto,
shall, upon producing due proof of the facts,
under such regulations as may be prescribed,
be entitled to receive pension during the
continuance of such disability and depend
ence at a rate proportionate to the degree of
such disability, and such pension shall com
mence at the date of filing the application
therefor" This bill has not yet passed the

THE HOPE OF NEW ENGLAND.

The last census is not altogether pleas
ant reading in many portions for the sons
of New England, but it conveys lessons
which they cannot afford to ignore. If it
tells that Maine and Vermont stood sta
tionary as regards populations between
1870 and 1880, it also records the rapid
growth and prosperity of many cities and
towns which are beginning to tread upon
the heels of older communities. 1t seems
to say that to manufactures, not to agri-
culture, must New England apply herself,
she look for her oldtime supremacy. This
changed condition of affairs is recognized
in many enterprising cities, good ex-
ample of which may be found in Water,
bury, the bustling Connecticut city upon
the Naugatuck that is so rapidly coming
to the front as manufacturing center.
Waterbury has wide-awake citizens who
take every opportunity to push it and to
welcome new ideas. The advantage of
such a progressive spirit is well shown in
the case Of q. w. Angel, who lives at No
204 South Main street, Waterbury, and
who gives this personal experience;
"For twenty years l have suffered tor
lures from chronic rheumatism. The doc
tors said | was incurable, but thanks to
Athlophoros, | have now taken new

ing perfectly helpless. One bottle of Ath-
lophoros cured me. / can sincerely say
that there is nothing like it for the speedy

The testimony is reinforced by that of
Mrs. Jane Downey, of No. "a Pleasant
street, a near neighbor of Mrs Vickers, in
this story of her case:
1.-TWO bottles of Athlophoros cured Inc
