The Use of Carrier Pigeons in the Opera
tiOns of War.

The Use of Carrier Pigeons In the Opera
tions of War.
The question of the employment OF
pigeons in the operations of war lends
a special Importance to the use the
Italians are making of these birds in
Abyssinia. L'Esercito furnishes on
this subject some interesting details.
The posts of Digdegha, the wells Of
Tata, as well as the attachments
sent out to reconnoitre towards Ailet,
Asstir. ETC., send their reports by
means of pigeons from the dove-cot in
stalled at Massowah. whence they are
forwarded to the headquarters at
Saati. On rainy days, and when the
communications are confidential, the
dispatches are introduced into goose
quilts ard scaled; but as this opera
ton. above all when the troops are on
the march, entails a certain loss of
time, they must only. when possible.
write the dispatch on a leaf OF the
pocket-book with which every officer
and non-commissioned officer is pro-
vided. and the dispatch is then
tied to tail-feather of the bird.
Conventional signs are also used
in the case of a detachment being
surprised by the enemy and not
having time to send a telegram. For
instance, when one or more pigeons
arrive at the dOve-cot without dis
patches. and with the loss of some tail
feathers, it is sign that the troops
have been attacked. Sometimes mark
made with color supply such-and-suc:
information. Each detachment carrie
three or four pigeons in light basket
of bamboo and net. The distances
being short, each dispatch is sent by
one pigeon. A first dispatch is sent
at the hour fixed in advance by the
commander, the others successfully
as there is news to transmit. The
pigeon basket is borne by soldiers
who relieve one another at stated in
tervals. The grains of wheat and YES
sells of water are confided to a cor.
poral who has the care Of the pigeons.
When the detachment has to remain
absent more than day they take
with them four pigeons with wheat
and water in leathern case. If they
have to return in day they carry but
three pigeons with the food and drink
necessary.
The frequent arrival OF these birds
from all quarters presents curious
appearance. When they arrive they
perch at the window of the dove-cot.
where their mates and young await
them. To enter they must pass
through a sort of cage-trap, which
does not permit them to return and
at the same time separates them from
the other pigeons. The weight of the
newcomer sets an electric bell ring.
ing; and this signal continues all the
time the bird remains in the trap
thus giving notice to the sergeant OF
the guard, who takes the dispatch and
forwards it to the headquarters.-S:.

General Blacks pretended lioerality in the
administration Of his office is very clearly shown
o his orders, rulings and decisions for the gov
ernment OF his clerks. Il is fact which can
not be gairsaid, that as general thing the lib
erai rulings of his Republican predecessors
have been largely restricted or entirely re-
versed In proof OF this the following examples
are given:
He has ruled that widows are entitled 10 pen
sion only from the date Of fling their claims.
and has oyerruled their appeal in repeated in
stances, althosgh the law has been pressed
upon his attention. Section 4.7R OF the Re
vised Statutes provides that the widows pen
sion should commence at the date OF the hus-
bands death
An appropriation bill, passed March B. 1879.
provides that pension Claims filed after June 30,
1881, should commence only from date OF fling
This was const usd to include widows pensions,
although as Senator Teller says. nobody
dreamed OF any such result" To correct this
mistake, on the 18th Of August, 1852, Congress re-
enacted section 4,79e, again providing that 1.-THE
widows pension should commerce from the
date OF the husbands DEATH" bit General
Black mas persistently refused to recognize this
law and has withheld part OF the pension
money honestly due thousands OF poor widows.
To overcome this determined refusal to obey
the law, Congress has been compelled TO put
into the pension appropriation &C: just passed .

Action in Congress.

pension roll which bears over 10000 names,
and TO whom there is annually paid about s53
100000. sufficiently attests the readiness Of the
Republican party to redeem all its pledges to
those it called into the field in the National de-
tense; for the votes OF Republicans in Congress
are uniformly cast in favor of the most liberal
measures. Indeed, they have often been called
to defend themselves against the charges Of ex-
travagance and recklessness in voting public
money for pensions. 1t is only in politica,
campaigns, where the votes of soldiers are in
question that the Democratic party has the
temerity TO set up claim Of equal friendliness

Just discrimination which exists in the present
law. by which 4 portion or the totally helpless
now receive but s5h per month. while others, no
more unfortunate, receive a., giving them all
the same rating.
The measure which has as much merit as any,
and one demanding the most urgent action pro-
vides for the large and increasing class Of our
country's sturdy defenders who, as old age
comes creeping upon them, find themselves no
longer able to provide the necessary means OF
subsistence and are compelled to seek refuge in
the inhospitable alms-houses and other chart
table institutions OF the country, or accept q
support from the hands of relatives and friends,
sometimes sorely burdened to provide for their
own necessities.
The most important bill reported from the
committee, taking into consideration its cost
is that repeating the Arrears act and placing all
soldiers Of the late war upon an equal footing
That those who went forth from the sane homes
enlisted in the same companies, performed the
same services. fought side by side On the same
battlefeids, followed the same Tag through the
same long and weary marches. experienced the
same prirations, suiere. frum similar wounds
and diseases, should receive the same CONSIDER
atoms at the hands Of tho Government is q
proposition the justi' o; whic4 none will .acy.
The other bills reported from zoe committee
while they are SO far as the cost involved is
concerned comparatively unimportant correct
manifest Irregularities and iniustces in the pres
ent laws ALI of these measures are now pend
ing on the House calendar, but can not be CON-
sidered by that body on account Of the auto
cratic exer.ise Of power by the Committee OIL
Rules. which refuses to allow the representa-
tives Of the people to discuss measures tha' o
majority OF them heartily approve.
