MAINE DISPATCHES.
STILL In THE WOODS.
Inc "urderers of the Machias Game
"ardens not Yet Captured-A Descrip.
lon OF the Men.

ELLSWORTH, Nov. 12.
circular has been issued for the benefit
OF officers in all parts of the State, giving a
very careful description of the murdersrs of
the Machias game wardens. This circular
states that Calvin p Graves of Hancock, Me.
Is II man five feet and between seven and
eight inches in height; his weight is 100
pounds; his complexion is dark and he has
dark full beard, heavy eye brows, dark blue
eyes, and dark hair mixed with gray; his age
Is 43. When last seen Graves wore brown
overcoat, light homespun trousers and soft
black hat.
His accomplce, James Mcfarland, the cir
cular says, also lives in Hancock, Me. He
is six feet tall and weighs 100 pounds. being
somewhat taller and thinner than Graves; he
has light complexion, sandy beard, large
blue eyes and curly hair; his ageis 81; he
wore dark clothes, checked flannel shirt and
soft black hat.
Officers have been on the track of the
murderers all day today and nothing has
turned up to give them any clue to the
whereabouts of the men. 1t looks like a
long hunt.
No stock is taken in the Union river theory
and it is thought the Eddington man must
be mistaken. If the murderers are anywhere
they are around here. When Graves is well
taken care of Mcfarland will come out
Sheriff Field and his men have not given up
the hunt.

The Pension Money.
From ths Washington stsr.

Il 4
A statement prepared at thepension
office by direction of the chief of the
certificate division, j. E. Smith, shows
that there are only 453 pensioners OF
this class on the roll who have lost an
arm at the shoulder joint or leg at
the hip joint. The small number as
compared with thenumber OF pension
ers in other classes indicates how few
survive the amputation OF the entire
limb. There is greater danger attend.
ant upon the entire amputation of a
leg than an arm, for there are on
the rolls only ten pensioners
who have lost leg at the hip joint
while those who have lost an arm
at the shoulder joint number
44s. They receive $45 per month.
There are 3,1o5 pensioners who have
lost an arm above the elbow, and
2,64l who have lost leg above the
knee. Such pensioners are to receive
pension OF S36 per month, an in
crease of So. There are also s39
pensioners who have lost an arm be-
low the elbow, and 1,1s5 pensioners
who have lost a leg below the knee.
These pensioners are to receive $50
per month, an increase of SO. The
bill further provides "that nothing
contained in this act shall be con.
strued to repeal section 4,699 of the
revised statutes OF the United States,
or to change the rate OF $l8 per
month therein mentioned to be pro-
portionally divided for any degree OF
disability established. for which sec.
ton 5,695makes no provision" The
pensions now paid shows that in
the high grades the number of pen.
s'oners is comparatively small. The
instance, for what is termed total dis
ability. such as the loss OF both arms,
both legs, both feet, the sight of both
eyes, and insanity, the highest pension
Is paid, namely $71 per month. The
number OF pensioners in these classes
IS as follows: Lost both arms, 81;
both legs, %; both hands, z; both
teet, 32; both eyes, 551; insanity, 100.
There are only two persons who re.
celve q higher pension than $71 per
month, one of whom receives $75 per
month, and the other S1OO, the lat
ter being Gen. Black, commissioners OF
pensions, who received this pension by
special act OF congress. OF the $780,
600 and more pensioners now on the
roll the largest number, 6O,2S6, re-
celve 81 per month; the next highest
number, 44,775, receive So per
month. Then there are "a $50 pension
ers who receive So per month; 26, 1874
who receive 50 per month; Is, 4sO
who receive S12 per month; Is ,O2O
who receive $24 per month; 9,297
who receive $40 per month; 1927
who receive $50 per month; ,4ss
who receive $16 per month, and
3,413 who receive 81 4 per month. The
grades OF pensioners run from 81 per
month to SloO, and the above are
the classes which contain the greatest
number OF pensioners. In addition
there are s34 who receive $50 per
month, and there is one at $49, one

From the Youth o Companion.
It is always pleasant to witness the
meeting OF friends who have long been
separated, but sometimes in travelling
one sees exhibitions of simple, out.
spoken expressions of Joy that have a
somewhat humorous flavor. For
instance, a correspondent thus de-
scribes the meeting of happy old
couple with o long absent daughter
and her family at rural railroad
station:
"Here they air, pal Here they airl"
A keen-eyed little old man, who had
been anxiously peerirg into the car
windows, now ran forward, and cried
out eagerly and loudly:

Well and Hearty.

If we would try to do so each OF us
could call to mind some colloquialism
common TO ourselves, or to the neigh
borhood in which we live. In some
localities people say, "Well, Ideclare!"
when in the least surprised. "How
you telk!" and "You don't say SOL"
are often heard in New England.
Western people are nearly always "as
we'll as common" or $50 as to be
around" when asked in regard to
their general health. The San Fran
cisco Post gives the following anus
ing incident illustrating the use OF the
words call we'll and hearty"
A San franciscan revisited his old
town recently. He was greeted warm
ly by the leading citizens.
"You are looking we'll and hearty,
sir" said ex-Judge Cox, who was seat
ed in front of the Nevada bank.

"And how is.old Bob Gailbraith?

ooh yes; saw him this morning, sir.
He is looking well and hearty, SIR
"And his wife?"
"Well, his wife-yss, yes, his wife,
she is looking we'll and hearty, SIR"
"Glad to hear it. And how is old
Sam Wylie? Seen him lately?"
All, yes; poor Sam Wylie! Well, the
last time saw Sam was the day we
buried him, and he was looking we'll
and hearty-that is considering his

Horrors OF Morphine.

"Give me only a. few drops; for
Gods sake, give me just littfe!''
The words, says the New York
Journal, came frum q sh1unken-faced
man who stood in front of q drug
store on William street as he raised
his hand appealingly.
II cannot give YOU any," replied
the druggist, as he closed the door in
the mans face.
The latter began a vigorous pound
ing on the door, and presently po-
liceman appeared.
whats the row." he asked.
"This man is morphine fiend," re-
Piled the druggist" and / can't sell
him any"
ooh, for heayen's sake, give me just
little. See, / have the money!"
The policeman led the man away,
but ten minutes later he was back
again. The policeman again appeared,
and dragged the man off in the way OF
the statlon-house.
"If you will go home, I'lllet you go"
said the kind-hearted policeman.
The man promised to 20 directly
home, and started away. An hour
afterward he was again in front OF the
drug store, beseeching. the proprietor
to sell him small quantity OF NOR
phine.
This time another policeman hove
in sight, and in response to the drug
gist's demands ordered The NOR
phine 'fiend' away. Threats were
useless, and the policeman cuffed the
mans ears. 1t was in vain. The
latter seemed feeble, and fell headlong
to the pavement.
When he got up blood was flowing
from his mouth, but he refused to go
away, and the policeman was compell-
ed to take him to the station.
"They can talk about liquor ruin
ing men" said the druggist, "but when
opium once gets it's grasp on q man,
he's gone."

Who Wants War, and why;

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Who wants war?
Not the honest, hard-working citi-
zen.
Not the man of q family.
Not any man who loves his home.
Not any man who loves his wife.
Not any man whose mother is the
world to him.
Not any man who sees his future
happiness in his intended bride.
Who wants war?
Not any pure, honest, loving wom-
Not any mother, wife, sister or sweet
heart.
Oh, no! Woman's happiness depends
on peace.
Who wants war?
Not any man who has ever been
through a war and faced all its perils
and horrors.
No matter how brave he was, he has
had his fill. The braver he was, the
more willing he is now to enjoy the
beauties of peace.
None OF the tried heroes of the late
civil conflict, wore they the blue or the
gray, care to pass through the same
bitter experience again.
Who wants war?
Men who havelost theirreputations.
Men who are anxious to make rep
utatlons at the cost of human life.
Men who have no homes, and no re-
spect for the peaceful homes of others.
Men who have no families, or if they
have do not provide for them, or even
treat them with respect.
Adventures and thieves.
Gamblers and blacklegs.
Bullies and towards; all these want
war.
And why?
Because they we'll know that if war
Is once declared the honest citizen will
be forced to leave the pow, the work
shop, the desk, 60 to the front and
face death, while they, the thieves,
bullies. gamblers and adventures OF
all kinds will stay behind and prey on
brave citizens home, or, if they 90 to
the front it will be as hangers on in
camp, to crawl like snakes in the bat
tlefield in the dead of the night and
rob their own dead.
For this they want war.

The sarcasm OF destiny has been il
slustrated in the West. A Dakota
man by the name OF Rose gave his
daughter the name of Wild, that she
might be called Wild Rose OF the prai-
rie; but she ran away with man by
the name Of Bull the other day, and
the name is a terror to the inhabit-
ants.
