PENSION VETOES.
The President Again States His Posi-
ton in the Matter.


WASHINGTON, July Sin the Senate TO-
day message from the President vetoing
bill granting Il pension to Mary Anne
Doherty was presented and read. 1t states
that large share of the report of the SEN
ate committee on pensions adopted ALSO by
the house committed consists of a petition
in which the woman says that her husband,
who had served in a New Jersey regiment,
left her in 1865 and has not been heard OF
since. She had received a pension as the
widow of Daniel Doherty until it was dis
covered that lie was alive and living in
Philadelphia, and was himself drawing
pension there
FALSE SWEARING.
There he had succeeded in getting pen
sion in the first instance by much false
swearing The police records of Washing
| ton, where she has been living, showed her
to be a woman of very bad character, and
that she had been under arrest nine times
for drlmkness, larceny, creating disturb
ances and other misdemeanOrs. The theory
seemed to be established, the President says,
that no man who has served in the army
| could be subject of death or impaired health
except as q result of army service, medical
| theories being set at naught.
INGENIOUS REASONING.
| Even suicide was traced by devious and
wonderfully curious ways to service in the
army and the adjudications of the pension
! bureau were overruled in most peremp-
| tory fashion by special acts of congress. The
President would yield to no man, he says,
| in his desire to see those who had defended
the government literally treated. Unfriend-
| illness to veteran soldiers wasa charge easily
and sometimes dishonesty made. The true
soldier was good citizen and would be sat
isiied with generous, fair and equal treat
| ment.
ROLL OF HONOR.
The pension list of the republic should
| be a roll of honor and not matter Of in
discriminate alms-gIving. He had at
| tempted to stem the tide of imprOvident
pension enactments, but he still felt sure of
responsibility in letting too many of them
become laws. The bill and message were
| referred to the committee on
pensions as were two other
| pension vetoes-One on the ground that the
death had no connection with service in TIE
army and the other on the ground that the
| records did not show that the soldier in
question said to have been an officer killed
| in the Custer massacre) was in that expedi-

The Evolution of the Table,

From the Woman's World for February
It was late in the fourteenth century
when the first evidence OF art in the
shape OF silver cups werenoticeab on
the buffet. The dishes were made OF
pewter or wood, and spoons of bone,
wood, or silver. Knives were rare,
and on that account guests invited to
feast carried their own knives. Forks
came in general use still later on, and
for long years after their introduction
they were considered ridiculous affec-
tation and foppery, and not nearly so
convenient as ones own fingers. The
lord and his lady dipped their fingers
into the same plate, and slipped their
wine from the same cup. Even the
queenly Elizabeth, with all her elabo-
rate ideas Of etiquette, was contente1
to carry her food to her mouth with
her fingers, and at first despised the
newly invented forks as unseemly and
awkward.
Very gradually the dining hall grew
IN comfort and splendor. Dishes OF
gold and silver were made, and so Gag
er were the mobiles for them that they
would sacrifice anything to possess
them. The salt-cellar was Tor a long
time the article OF the highest impor-
tance on the board. It was a. great
affair, and it stood directly in the CEN
ter OF the table; it was the dividing
line; the mobiles were seated above the
salt, the conmoners below, hence
grew the proverb, "Below the SALT"
The passing OF salt was acrimonious
custom, the guest throwing a pinch
over his left shoulder and murmuring
blessing.
The salt-oellars were of the most
curious devices. Sometimes they rep
resented huge animals, sometimes e
great full-blown flower or a long.
slender stem: and again, they were in
shape Of a chariot, mounted on four
wheels, on which they were easily run
down the table.
The first glass cups came from Ven
ice during the sixteenth century, and
from that time on society began to
lose many OF its primitive ways, and
became, in a sense, more refined.
Henry VIII. was born with luxuri.
Gus tastes; he had his banquet chairs
supplied with velvet cushions, and
about this time the parlor or ':talk-
lng-room," as it was called, was In
PRODUCED, and here it was that the
danes took refuge when the dinner
had advanced beyond prudent limits,
as it invariably did before the finish.
The cook that presided over the
kitchen in those days was not the
counterpart of our nineteenth century
Bridget, but he was an artist, and
generally man OF Equality. The Ia
dies ofthe household, even those OF
noble birth; attended to many do
mestic duties, making the bread, pre-
serving the fruits; while to understand
the proper use OF starch was consider
ed great accomplishment.

LOVES SEASONS.

The wall-fowers to the fro1ic wind
Do dance their golden aigulets,
And elf-naids steal the hawthorne beads
TO wear for fairy amulets.
1he spring is here, the spring is here
Inc love, time OF the year, my dear
All heavy hang the apple boughs,
Weighed down by balls of yellow gold;
lhe poppy cups, SO fiery bright.
Meseems would burn the hearts they
hold,
The summers here, the summers here
The kiss-time OF the year, my dear!
The birds are winging for the South,
The elf-maids haste them to their bow
ers,
And dandelion balls do float
Like silver ghosts OF golden flowers.
The autumn's here, the autumn's here
The wlfe.t time OF the year, my dear
Now are the heavens not more gray
Than are the eyes OF her love:
More dainty white than her sweet breast
The snow lies not the earth above.
The winters here, the whit er's here
But love-time lasts the year my dear!

MAINE FIRMS INTERESTED.
Sash, Door and Blind Manufactur-
ers from a Trust.
Especial to the Press. ]

AUGUSTA. March 24-It has been known
here for some days that the sash, blind and
door manufacturers of New England and
New York were forming trust for the pur-
pose of naming prices. Nineteen reprsen-
tatives Of various manufacturing firms met
in Boston on Tuesday and on Wednesday, a
meeting occurred in New York. All the
manufacturers in New York have agreed to
enter the combination and on Wednesday OF
next week another meeting will be held In
Boston for the purpose of completing the
organization. A scale of prices, which 1t Is
said will be on the basis of twelve per cent.
advance, will be fixed and placed in the
hands of each firm and 500 in money Tor
each set of machinery. in use, must be de-
posted in the treasury of the trust to be for
feited in any case where the compact may be
broken. An inspector will be chosen who
will make regular inspection of each firms
books to see that there is no cut in prices,
and If one is discovere it will be reported at
once. The manufacturers say that they take
this course for self protection and to prevent
the ruinous competition which has existed In
the past. A similar combination OF sash ana
years ago but failed because several of the
parties did not keep their agreement, and
were discovered making sales below the es-
tablished sales. The firms of Wyman, Web
Der & Gage, and the Bangs Bros, of this
city, are in the trust and Mr.. Wyman has
been absent all the week attending the New
York and Boston meetings.

COL. GRANT REPLIES.
His IIIustrious Fathers Last Days
Saddened by Radeau's Letter.
How the Dying General Wrote the
Reply
Which sadeau Says is the Work Of
the Son.

NEW YORK, March 24-Col. Fred Grant
makes public tonight very long statement
in reply to Gen. Adam Badeau's address to
the American people upon the controversy
between Bodeau and the Grant family as to
the services rendered in connection with
writing the personal memoirs OF Gen. Grant
Col. Grant goes over much ground already
covered. He says that it is his last word
and that the courts must henceforth settle
the matter He gives much space to the cor
respondenee between himself and the law
yers in the case, chiefly in negotiating with
a view to settlement Of the matter without
resort 10 law, Col Grant says; "Gen. Ba-
deau handed his cruel letter Of May I'D to
Gen. Grant ON the day of Its date, in Mrs.
Grants presence, but not in mine, and I'M
mediately left the house. returning on the
4th. Gen Grant read it and when / came In,
was agitated and trembling. He unlocked a
drawer Of the bureau in which he had placed
it, and taking the letter out, handed IL 10 me
saying: Read this and tell me what you
think of it, l did read it and said thought
it despicable. My father then, without any
suggestion from me, began to write an an
swer with his own hand. Being very weak,
he could not write more than q few lines
without stopping. He answered one p0l9t
after another and gave me the sheets of his
manuscript. When he had finished, copied
them and read the copy TO him, he directing
changes and corrections"
Col. Grant adds that this demand OF
Badeau was a source Of grief and annoyance
to his father for the remainder OF his life
and says: "As to the letter left by Grant to
be sent Badeau under certain conditions, 70
which reference is made in paragraph IL OF
the address," it has never been used with
the authority of my fathers family as a
threat. Its proviso is not in the terms stat
ed by Badeau. The letter was written ii
days before my fathers death, at period OF
keen physical suffering, and when his mem
ory of Badeau's letter of May I'd made his
his mental anguish greater than that OF his
body"
Col Grant denies that his family prevent
ed Webster q Co.. from publishing Badeau's
book and quotes letter from himself to that
firm saying that they should not consider
any supposed objection of Mrs. Grant in the
matter. Furthermore Col Grant says:
1.-The statement Of Gen. Badeau In the 21st
paragraph that | ever proposed that he
should finish my fathers memoirs and let
me sign my name to it, is an unqualified
falsehood."
Again he says 1T cannot be too often
repeated that had Badeau been swilling to
accept the sums of $4,000 for his services
as an amanuensis upon the first 421 pages,
or about one-half of the first volume Of per-
s0nal memoirs, as to which his services were
rendered, su-h as they were, he would have
been paid the full sum OF $4,000"

March 18th, at o'clock in the morning en-
countered a terrific hurricane which came
on with great suddenness. The vessel kept
off before it.the all while shipping heavy seas
which carried everything before them. The
load was swept overheard, sails were split
and torn, and her bulwarks and deck houses
smashed, while the small boat was carried
away. They ran before the gale for 4S hours
and when they got observations were 800
miles off shore. During the gale one seaman,a
boy 19 years old, was washed overheard and
lost. Men had to be kept at the pumps or
the vessel would sink. Her cabin and fore
castle were flooded. the water gaining In the
hold, and the pumps were worked continually
to keep her free, the men becoming exhaust
