Tho Height OF CIou

Prof. Moller, of Carlsruhe, has made
some interesting observations on clouds.
The highest clouds, cirrus and GIRO
stratus, rise on an average to height
Of nearly $4,000 feet The middle
clouds keep at from about 10, 900 feet to
$4,000 feet in height, while the lower
clouds reach to between 5000 foet and
1000 feet. Tho cumulus clouds float
with their lower surface at height OF
from 1000 to 5000 feet, whilo their sum-
mits rise to 10000 feot. Tho tops of tho
Alps ore often hidden by clouds Of the
third class, but the bottom of tho clouds
of the second class, and especially of
the thunder clouds, ofton enfold thom.
The vertical Dimensions Of cloud OBJ

at q height of about 8, 700 feet, and high

Then he thinks up on the ailments to
which his class Of humanity are gener-
ally heir to, and he looks over a choice
list furnished by his solicitor, and
makes his selection from the following:
Nervous debility, piles, from saddle
riding or straddling bass drum at
"place rest" chronic mania for whisky,
weakness and lengthening of the spine
and ears, fiattening of the head from
standing under paper mache helmet:
'cOIns," for want of tent slippers and
silk socks; hog cholera, pip, distemper,
indisposition to mOve-especially to-
ward an enemy; whiskers, asthma.
heart and horse disease, sore eyes from
looking down upon marderous cannon,
bullets on the brain, want of appetite
to work, indecision about labor, insom-
mia, govt from constant contact with
bareback; weakening Of the nerve,
lassitude of tho conscience, warts on

degeneration of the intellect, etc.

Gus, Bill;' and by the noon hour the
intoxicated old slop will have added his

pension gods will have augmented to
the number of 100.
The weak and feeble, the poor and
humble and those whose calamities in
the service or by the service have rem
dered them more or less dependent upon
the pension, are always the most mod
est in their application. But each day
during this constant run of about three
weeks, the Bum PensioDer, as defined by
the ban of conscience, can be seen and
heard.
1t is decidedly remote from the intent
of an unbiased comment to attack in the
least those illuStriOuS men whose causes
for pension relief were actually and
honestly contracted during that disas-
trOusly glorious effort of 1875. But
the pension laws of the United States
admit of such multiplicity of corrupt
practices by Wouid-be pensioners, ply
SicianS and special pension attorneys
and shystcrs that it is no wonder that
they are abused.
Here comes man of about forty-five.
He looks well, walks erect, and is IN
miStakably engroSsed with the idea that
he has distinguished himself, and there
fore is, and has been for some years, at
the summit of human achievement. He
applies for his voucher, and in perusing
his certificate of pension grant the at

gagged in mortal combat for the cause
with which his great big nine-gallon
heart overflowed, he caught severe
cold on account of the draft through
the Cumberland valley. 1T was nothing
but a cold then, but, aggravated by de-
sire to desert, il was made the means of
escape OIL honorable discharge. EX-
amined by physicians and passed as q

HOW IT'S DONE. understood tn t
such an army exists and does operate
the prerOgatorieS with which our "an-
wise laws" have endowed it.
1.-The very idea,o some one will saw.
.'of so basely stamping those VIII O
fought and bled, and those who dared
the front, for the preservation of ma
ton, with the title of bum pensioner.
The smell of the CORY shirt is still an ell
ement of our day, and still flaps in the
winds of political theory, and that scant
remnant of our brave and true shall not
be quilted under such banner as bum
pensioner!'
1t is not the purpose of this sketch.
which is, Of necessity, limited to cur
sorry glance through the subject, to cast
such immense volumes of light upon the
fallacy of the law which invests all
Union soldiers, or alleged Union SOL
diers with the powers of scheme to
bleed the public teat for years and
years after the events which occasioned
the enactElent Of such laws.
IL would seem strange indeed, that
the matter of who are the pension
leeches, and who are the worthy en-
dowed, who quarterly drain millions of
money from the Golfers of the nation,
should be open to comment by obsery-
ing witnesses SO far upon the outskirts
of thought upon the subject. It is,
nevertheless, fact that st. Paul
and Minneapolis, and, moreover, the
entire state of Minnesota. afford point
of sight to this question which will war
rant criticism; if that criticism NAV
be frank and honest.
The Bum PenSl0ner, as conceived by
your servant, Is not the worthy subject
of government aid and a nations care
for services rendered in times past and
dizzy; he is not the decrepit relic of a
once vigorous manhood, who by LOYAL
suffering of the exposures Of warfare
gave up the spirit of youth and sank
upon worn. helpless vitality; it is not
the aged widow who every three months
plOds her weary way to our county
offices for the execution Of her quarterly
certificate. The Bum Pensioner is
nothing like the disabled, suffering and
deserving sons OF war, but he is the
dastardIy. indolent sot who constantly
and remorselesslyr obs us!
Well, then. who is he? If he be not
within the category mentioned, what
can this subject be who thus conducts
himself?
The constant observation of an inter-
ested witness has found him out. The
seasons for these watches occur regu-
larly every three months, and the pen
sioner. during period of three weeks
from the date of the quarter, can be
SEEN AND STUDIED
as he applies at the office of the county
clerk in any county of the state for the
execution of the certificate which Sc
cures TO him his regular stipend.
The vast number of pensioners who
apply at the st. Paul and Minneapolis
offices of The county clerks afford one
an excellent opportunity for discover
ing who Minnesota's pensioners are,
what they apparently are; and, in gen.
eral, what class of people in this state
the government aids in supporting.
