A NOTED VETERAN.
Washington Letter.

Washington Letter.
Senator Palmer has introduced bill
for the relief noted veteran. This is
Gen. Andrew I. McReynoldS, of Michi-
gan, who. though eighty years old, is still
practicing law. More than forty years
ago his famous company of dragons
charged side by side with the celebrated
Phil Kearney upon the gates of Mexico.
The impetuous gailantry of this charge
is recorded in history, and the achieve
mentS of McReynolds and his men were
once as famous as the incident of "A
little more grape, Captain Bragg. In
addition to MS heroic record in the war
with Mexico. McReynolds is now famed
as the commander of the Lincoln Caval-
~ through the rebellion, and he served
with the same effectiveness in the Chick
ahOminv swamps that he displayed on
the plains of Anahuac. McReynolds
so served in the Canadian patriot war
of 1888, and even before that time. as an
ensign in the Duquesne Dragons of
Pittsburgh, had volunteered to aid in the
suppression of the South Carolina nulli-
fication. His political record is as long
as his military one. He was the young
est delegate in the first National Whig
Convention, which met in December,
1889, at Harrisburg, Pa, and is thought
to be the only survivor of that body. He
was an Indian Agent in Michigan under
appointment of President Harrison, who
he helped to nominate at Harrisburg, and
served in both houses of the Michigan
Legislature, besides holding during his
long life many other places of public
trust. He was an ardent advocate of
TYLER, became a Democrat in the cam
paign of 1914, and has been Democrat
ever since He still practices his profes-
sion, and is obliged to depend upon his
work at the bar for a livelihood. His
great age prevents his receiving the com
pensation that his services formerly Sc
cured, and he is in need of the relief pro-
posed BY this bill. He was carried on
the pension rolls for the disabling of his
right arm in the Mexican war, but during
the term of his active service in the war
of the rebellion he was stricken from the
pension rolls. Senator Palmer's bill pro-
vides for the payment to him Of a lump
sum, the amount he would have received
had his name not been suspended.

TRY THE GREAT THIEVES.

Cleveland Leader.
The attorneys of the Kansas Pacific
bondholders are doing public service in
striving to bring the case of Jay Gould
and Russell Sage before a new grand jury.
The failure of the attempt to force these
great rascals to stand trial, or at least to
come into court and virtually plead guilty
by hiding behind the statute of limita
tions, was lamentable from every point
of view. 1t showed tenderness for great
scoundrels which could not fail to have
"a demoralizing effect upon the public,
and it was a severe blow to American
credit abroad. What should it matter
that the statute of limitations might have
prevented conviction or even full hear
ing of the case? As the Leader has re-
peatedly urged, the moral effect of COM
pelling two such slippery and powerful
robbers to enter court, and either defend
defend themselves as best they could, or
say before the world that they were
forced to rely upon the Outlawing of their
crimes through the lapse of time, would
be worth all it would cost. 1t would show
the world that the officers of the law were
not afraid to inconvenience or anger such
money kings as Gould and Sage, and that
they were regarded just as less cGGSpicu-
Gus scOundrels would be under like cir
cumstances. As ex-Judge ArnOux, in
terviewed in Paris, well puts the case, no
grand jury nor Judge should ever consider
the statute of limitations a bar to the in
dictment of supposed criminal, mas
much as his public use of that shield is
a moral degradation and in itself a pun
ishment No innocent man has any need
of such an expedient, and to force Gould
and Sage to resort to it in open court
would be. as eY-Judge ArnOuX SAYS, to
pillory them before the world.
From business point of view, Wall
street can ill afford to have the Gould
Sage case dropped where it is. Final
failure to punish the wrongs inflicted by
such scoundrelS upon the security hold
ers of the corporations which they con-
troll, would be enough to drive European
investors out of the stock market, and al
least nothing should be left undone to
show that the crimes of a Gould are hate
full to the American people and to their
legal officers. In this matter, as in all
Others. the most vigorous possible efforts
to secure justice would pay in every view
that can be taken of it, and especially in
upholding the fair fame of the country.

GLEANINGS.

\ HEARTY COW. fresh in milk. OBJ
serves the Ne1c England Farmer, and
eating dry food. will frequently drink
five or more ordinary pailfuls of water
in a day. If this be taken into the sys-
tenn near the freezing point it must be
warmed by the heat of the body, which
heat costs the farmer money, just as the
heat from the wood or coal we burn in
our stoves costs money. 1t was long
ago discovered that heat saved by tight
walls and roofs is cheaper than the heat
produced from hay and grain. 1t is
now being learned that wood. coal and
kerosene oil is a cheaper fuel for warm
ing water for animals than hay and
grain. One feeder estimates that during
the present winter five cents worth of
fuel used for warming the drinking
water for his cows has returned him
Sl.50 of butter.
Is IT best to feed cows all the corn
meal and wheat bran they will bear?
was one of the many questions found
in the question box at the Connecticut
State Board meeting. Mr. Secretary
Gold replied, yes, up to the point where
the COW might be injured or the food
wasted. He once tried to dry off a COW
by increasing her allowance of corn
meal, but found that partiular COW was
a milk machine, rather than beef pro-
ducer, and the more meal she ate the
more milk she gave. Animals can new
er be fed by set rules, except such
rules as the intelligent, watchful attend
ant makes for each animal from day to
day.
To CURE the pernicious practice of
egg eating among hens an exchange
that it is a good plan to make
the nests out of boxes about ten inches
square and fifteen inches deep. This
will prevent the hens from standing on
the edge of the nest and reaching down
to the eggs after laying them, and they
will be unable to get at them while they
are in the nest.
For disinfectants about poultry hous-
es and sheds, smoke from a wood fire,
SAYS the Farm and StOckman, is one of
the best: also sulphur. In using the
latter, close every opening and chink
where air can escape, place a pound or
two of birthstone, in small pieces, on an
iron pan, and let it gently burn, leaving
the house shut up for the day if possible.

SOME curious interviews with several
of the great money kings of the country
prove that 'happiness depends, as nature
shows, less on exterior things than most
suppose" In other words a cOntented
mind gives far more happiness than
millions Russell Sage says that the
only pleasure he gets out Of wealth is
that of successful competition, the pleas
ure of boy who can run faster and
climb higher than his mates. Senator
Stanford likes his millions only because
they put him beyond the reach of want,
as did Peter Cooper. John q. Moore,
several times a millionaire, loves his
money for the sense Of power it gives
him, us did Commodore Vanderbilt of
old. Wm. H. Vanderbilt didn't like
his wealth, which he looked upon as an
encumbrance, and often complained that
he could not get enjoyment in proper
ton to his income, but was as limited
in his pleasures as the man who was
worth only a fair fortune. After all,
wealth beyond enough to satisfy ordina
ry wants and provide ordinary pleasures
say a sum Of 100000, is, as VIM. Van
derbuilt puts it. ian encumbrance," a
sort of white elephant, the care and pro-
lection of which cannot be recOmpensed
for by any additional enjoymcnts the
excess of that amount may bring.

fered to disarm his men, stack their guns
with ours and join in the search. And
mere than once that night our pickets
were challenged from the other side and
anxious inquiries made for the little ones.
When the answer went back across the
hush and the silence of the night we
could feel, though we could not see, the
look that swept over the faces of our
foes. And that look made us all akin!

EMERALDS.

Susan Power, in March Wide Awake.
Pliny relates that tomb at Cyprus
bore lion carved with eyes Of emeralds
so bright they frightened away the fish in
the sea. Nero wore an eyeglass of emerald
which was supposed good for the sight,
and it is said that lapidaries who cut
emeralds have good eyesight because
the hue of the stone refreshes the eye.
The Orientals believe that wearing an
emerald imparts courage and averts dis
aster. 1t was ground down and taken
as medicine in doses of six grains as
a cure for various disorders. At the
conquest Of Peru the Spaniards captured
hundred weights of emeralds, and one
dedicated to the goddess Esmeralda was
the size of an ostrich egg. Cortez gave
his bride large emerald carved like
rose, which reused the queens envy and
lost him the court favor.
