Stray Shots.

THE pension board of surgeons at NJ ont
pelier, VT, say that more than one-half of
the applicants for pension that they have
examined have heart disease. Many of the
applicants were not ware of it and did not
claim pension on account of it. The sur.
geons are of the opinion that this disease
was the result of fright and mental strain
that soldiers were subjected to in going into
battles and places of great danger
r. j. DEAvITT, Esq, of Montpelier, Vt, a
gentleman who devotes much attention to
pension matters, has written a letter to
resident of Boston in which he says that
several soldiers in that vicinity voted the
republican ticket for the first time at the late
election, because they are indignant at the
action of the president in vetong pension
bills upon frivolous preteXts, and in terms
which showed a want of sympathy with the
Union soldier and at the action of the demo-
cratic congressman in sustaining these
vetoes. He expressed the opinion Judging
from what has come under his observation
in Vermont, that the soldiers will hereafter
give their votes to the republican party with
a greater unanimity than in the past.-Bos
ton journal.
The widow of General Stannard has re-
ceived a pension certificate under a special
act of congress, emitting her to a pension
of $50 a month. She was fortunate in
Gaping veto from the president, for two
grounds on which he vetoed many such
bills We're conspicuous in her case: her
claim had not been considered by the peu-
sion bureau and the fatal disease of her
husband was not contracted in the military
service. General Stannard, pensioned for
loss of an arm, died June 1St, 1886, of pneu-
monia contracted by exposure in retiring
at night near an open window to sleep
His brilliant war record and the needy con-
dition of his family had no doubt much to
do in covering these defects III the case.
Her friends We're somewhat disappointed in
not securing pension of 500 a month, as
the bill passed the senate for that amount,
when of all the widows of generals of the
rank of Stannard only Mrs. Grant and Mrs
Hancock had received more than $50 a
month.

There is a beautiful spirit breathing now
Its mellow richness on the clustered trees,
And from a beaker full OF richest dyes
Pouring new glory on the autumn woods,
And dipping in warm light the pillared clouds.
Morn on the mountain, like summer bird,
Lifts up her purple wing and In the wales
The gentle wind, sweet and passionate wooer,
Kisses the blushing leaf, and strs up life
within the solemn woods of ash deep crimsoned.
And silvery beech and maple yellow-eaved,
Where Autumn, like faint old man, sits down
by the wayside aweary. -LOBqteHoW.

PORTLAND, ME-, Sept. 6.--Editor New
York Evening Post; Possibly you may
not have noticed some of the curious
things developed by the political cam
paign in Maine, and especially
how much truth is at last being
told about the Maine liquor law.
People who have always resided here,
and who have seen the effects of prohibit
ton, know perfectly we'll that prohibi-
ton does not prohibit, and that the
claims TO the contrary are simply for
political effect by politicians to deceive
people who do not investigate facts, but
take for granted whatever is told them.
This campaign has arrayed Neal Dow
and his friends in opposition to their
former political allies, and at last they
are forced to admit that prohibition has
not prohibited, and that the "volume of
the liquor traffic has not been at all re-
duced within the last twenty years" In
view OF the statement, so persistently made
heretofore, that prohibition In Maine has
been and is great success, hope you
will publish the following extract from a
letter Of Neal Dow, over his own sigma.

FREE SCHOOLS IN FRANCE.
Growth of Education and Soberness
Among the People.

oAAn lAoNhcif
The newly, but on the whole splendid
ly, equipped schools are silently trans
forming France. There is far less Flip
pancy, far less tendency to laugh at
everything in the character of French
men and women in the present genera
ton than In that Of their elders.
The rising generation win be quite as
serious as the Germans themselves,
and perhaps this Is not entirely to be de-
sired Some philosophers, who think
that the seat OF gayety Is In the stomach,
say that the growing soberness, not to
say solemnity, OF the French is due to
their gradual desertion Of the cheerful,
light wines for beers and alcohols; but
we are not compelled to examine closely
into this view of the case. The free
school before the advent OF the re-
public was so poorly understood here
that even now the middle class cannot
comprehend why II should be tolerated.
With the selfish view OF things which
prevails in most OF the European coun-
tries, they do not wish to be taxed for
the education OF other peoples children.
But the republic does tax them
roundly, and the city OF Paris
does fine work In making II pos
sible for the poorest child, no mat
ter how humble Its parents may be in sta
ton, TO have comfortable meal In the
middle OF the day for the astonishingly
low price OF two sous, When this two
sous deieuner was invented tproved very
seductive TO poor folks, and wherever
parents were so poor that the two sous
a day was strain upon their resources,
the city offered the breakfast to the
child free, without making any Disagree
able conditions. Thousands Of children
are daily supplied with warm meal at
the city's expense. The clerical party
does its best to rival in charitable deeds
Its Republican antagonists, but 1t cannot,
of course, keep pace with the state, and
great is its disgust thereat.
