Veterans Employed In the Capital.

There are number OF crippled old
soldiers employed in the Capital build
ing, and, as should be the case, they
have tolerably easy time of it. Sew
eral of these old soldiers are en-
ployed on the Senate side, which very
conservative body never thinks of re-
moving any OF its employees, while
over a dozen are employed rs messen-
gers and doorkeepers on the House
side. The 18th Congress passed a law
creating what is known as the dis
abled soldiers roll and any man who
once gets his name upon that roll, no
matter what may be his politics or
the complexion OF the House, he can
not be discharged except for good and
sufficient reasons. and then only by a
vote Of the House.
Among those employed by the
House, Comrade s. III. Decker Of
Ohio is the worst injured mao, having
lost both arms at the battle OF Perry

Gen. Garfield gu ellis u Mob.

The morning after the assassination
of President Lincoln, large crowd
gathered in front Of the Stock Ex-
change, New York. A number of
prominent men were in the room adj
joining the balcony. Gen. Brisbin
thus describes the scene, taking it up
after the crowd had assembled: by
this time the wave of popular indig-
nation had swelled to its crest. Two
men lay bleeding on one of the side
streets, the one dead, the other next
to dying, one on the pavement, the
other in the gutter. They had said
but moment before that Lincoln
ought to have been shot, anyhow,
long before. They were not allowed
to say it again. Soon two long pieces
of scantling stood out above the heads
of the crowd, like the letter X, and a
looped halter pendant from the juno
ton, dozen men following its slow
motion through the masses, while
vengeance was the cry. On the
right suddenly the shout rose, The
World. the World, the Office of the
W'0rldr and movement of perhaps
5000 or 10, 900 turning their faces in
the direction Of that building, began
to be executed.

might come no one could tell, did that
crowd get in front OF the Office. Police
or military would have awaited little
or been too late. A telegram had just

man stepped forward with a small

crowd, Another telegram from
Washington And then, in the awful
stiffness OF the crisis, taking advant-
age of the hesitation of the crowd
whose steps had been arrested
for moment, a right arm was
lifted skyward and voice clear and
steady, loud and distinct, spoke out:
a. Fellow citizens, clouds and dark
ness are around about Him! His pa
vilion is dark waters and thick clouds
of the skies! Justice and judgment
are the establishment of His throne!
! Fellow citizens, God reigns, and the
I government at Washington still lives!
The effect was tremendous. The
crowd stood riveted to the ground with
awe, gazing at the motionless orator,
and thinking of God and the security
| OF the government at that hour. As
the boiling wave subsidies and settles
to the sea when some strong wind
beats it down, so the tumult of the
people sank and became still. All
took it as divine omen. 1t was a
triumph of eloquence inspired by the
moment, such as but falls to few mems

The SPIRIT OF The TIMES, of New York says !:
IAN extraordinary advance in the use of CO.
Goa seems to have taken place Of late years In
England. In the House Of Commons this Las t
session the Right Hon. q. j. Goschen, the
Chancellor Of the cxchequcr, called attention
to 1t as a cause for much of the falling Off Of
the use of coffee. He attributed il In a meas
rre to the position q preparation of cocoa
knows as Grateful and Comforting had taken.
In accord with this suggestion 1t may be inter
esting to follow the course cocoa has taken in
England since 1882, when the duty which had
been standing at I'D. per lb.. with an importa.
tion of under half a million pounds, was reduc-
ed to &c per h., and not long after we find the
homeopathic doctrine of medicine introduced
into the kingdom, and that the use Of cocoa
was specially advocated by physicians adopting
that mode of practice. Soon after we find the
first homeopathic chemists established in Eng
land 1.-THE firm Of James Epps d Coz produced
special preparation, which only needed boiling
water or milk to be at once ready for the table,
and the superior character of this production
has, no doubt, done much, as the Chancellor of
the Exchequer said, TO bring about backed as
it was by a further reduction Of the duty to Id.
per ID. the advance made.n
