TIE congress of the United States
is not required to cripple the service
of the country in order to prevent ex-
penditures. The postal service of this
country requires increased appropria-
tions in order to render it efficient;
the navy OF this nation requires liber-
al appropriations for new ships; the
internal improvements of this cOun-
try require liberal appropriations to
maintain them; the merchant marine
of this country requires liberal subsi-
dies to recreate it and render it an eff
ficient means of increasing our COM
merce; the pension bureau requires
liberal appropriations, but it does not
require service pension bill, nor a
general debility bill, nor a prisoners
bounty bill, nor any other whole
sale measures for depicting the
treasury. The boys in blue who
preserved the nation and made the
United States of today possibility
did not enter the army and peril their
lives for the privilege of draining the
United States treasury. The men
who are invaded and suffer on ac-
count of wounds or injuries received
in service must be cared for. The
nation owes them this. The destl-
tute must have homes provided for
them, the nation owes them this.
The soldiers who can earn their own
living and maintain themselves COM
fortably should do so without draw
ing upon the treasury of the people,
they owe the nation this much. No
false ideas of economy should stand
in the way of doing all that is neces-
sary for the comfort and care of the
disabled and destitute old veterans;
no false ideas of sentiment should
lead to draining the treasury for the
benefit of the able bodied and COM
fortably circumstanced veterans of
the Union army. There is justice to
the nation to be considered, as well
as Justice TO the savers of the nation,
and the two are not in conflict, the
one with the other.

Thomas jefferson.

Jefferson was very tall. six feet two
and half inches in height, sandy COM
plexioned, shy in manner, seemingly
cold. awkward in attitude. and with
little in his bearing that suggested COM
mand. One CT the greatest of
modern writers first made himself fa-
nous by declaring that society was
founded on cloth and Jefferson, at
moments of some interest IN his career
as President seemed to regard his PEI
culisr style of dress as a matter of po-
litical importance. while the Federal
newspapers never ceased ridiculing the
corduroy small clothes, red plush waist
coat and sharp toed boots with which
he expressed his contempt for fashion.
For eight years this tall, loosely
built somewhat stuff figure, in red
wEistcoat and yarn stocking, slipping
down at the heel, and clothes that
seemed too small for him, may be imag-
ined sitting on one hip, with one shoul.

appearance. This sandy face, with

How She Took an Oath.

Many, indeed, and various are the
anecdotes told in connection with OATH
making. a very pious and painfully
guileless old lady was once called as q
witness before Mr.. TsnDyson D'Eyn-
court. the Bow street magistrate.
''Is it a fact. your Honor, " asked the
lady chat 1 mast take an oath ?''
Certainly, madame" replied Mr..
D'Eyncours.
''But L don't like to do so p exclaim>
60 the lady.
''Yon must do so or 60 to prison. -
said Mr.. D'Eyncourt. Every witness
has got to swear"
The LADY was hard to be persuaded.
For long time she held out against
what she termed cruel Injustice, but
finally consented to comply with the
magistrates orders. She then took the
the book, and TO the surprise and
amusement Of the whole court ripped
out tremendous oath, after which she
covered her face and cried in pi.iful
tones Heaven forgive me, but 1
had 20 do it''

The Great Snow Owl.

The winter or late autumn brings. at
times, visitor from the far north, the
great snowy owl, Eyctea niva. I
came upon him the O.her day crouched
in the long dead, grass, which whistled
in the cold wind, while the snow SQUALLS
swept along the far horizon. He turned
his great black eyes on me for a moment
and :ook wing. No bird that i ever
s. W has such motiye power, the frat
hip of his broad wings sends him far
forward or upward. He bounds up and
scoops down, turning in any direction
with all the ease and lightness of the
swallow. A few seconds and his great
bulk is a speck at the horizon, a mo-
meut more and he has vanished, while
you still stand gazing in wonder al his
grace and speed and power. He GER
tainly has small reason TO forego his
southern trip when the arctic winter
comes on bIeadths OF latitude can be
nothing TO him. A few days, or a fort
night a. most, will allow him to PASS
over the stretch that separates his arctic
home from US, and still give HIM time
70 stop for rest and feeding by the way.
His natural vigor and power of wing is
so great that the severe cold of the sub.
polar regions, and the passage of the
great distance that separates it from Us.
are both sustained with ease, evidently.
by this magnificent bird.

Primitive People.

Goose Greek Island, on the North
Carolina coast, Is one OF the most mac
cessible. uncomc-at-able places 20 be
found. It's area comprises several
thousand scrss, AMI its soil IS unusual
ly fertile and admirably adapted for the
raising OF cattle. The island is sur
rounded for many miles inland by al
most impossible swRmps access by
water is had through q narrow, tortu
Gus channel only navlgabIe by the
smallest craft. For miles around the
water outside Of the passageway is only
few inches in depth, and man in
rubber boots could wade dry shod all
day along this worthless stretch Of
water, which is too shallow for fish and
zoo deep for agriculture. Hence the
islanders lead a very retired aud isolat-
ed life, practically as much shut of
from the world as il they were in the
midst Of the Atlantic. There are but
two hundred and ftty houses on the
place, mostly cabins, though there are
several well-lo-do planters, who, edu-
Gated and refined, keep sloof socially
from the poor illiterate Inhabitants.
Women Of the latter class are buxOm.

A City in the Sea.

a city at the bottom of the sea was
seen toward the end OF November, near
Trepton, on the shores of the Baltic.
For week or ten days a powerful wind
had been blowing from the south and
on the day the wonderful sight was
witnessed. 1t amounted TO little less
than a hurricane. The waters were
pushed away from the shore iu great
mountains, uncOveTing q portion of
ground usually hidden from sight by
the waters. 1t was az this time that
the ruins Of the city of Regumuende,
ones a flourishing commercial center,
but swallowed up by the Baltic be>
tween five and six centuries ago, was
revealed to the startled watchers in the
lighthouse near the shore. The un-
usual spectacle was enjoyed only for a
short time, when The storm ebsted and
the waves returned, and again hid from
view what had once been the abode of
busy men and women.

Bay Horses.

Did any one ever see a man OF a wo-
man with bay" hair asks the Horse
World. No more than be saw an au-
buTn horse. The word bay does not OF
Itself signify a col0r, and its use for the
purpose is purely traditional. IL orig.
mated in England in a district where
the breed os horses was mostly several
shades away from the brown yet too
brown to be called red. There grew in
this district great many bay trees, to
the leaves OF which the horses exhibit
ed had decided affinity. The bay tree
had long been cherished among the ua-
tiyes for the medical qualities Of its
leaves and berries, and, 10 way, was
sacred 10 them, having had a place in
many OF their legends and superstitions.
Every breeder OF horses was sure to
have a number OF the trees, and relied
upon them almost exclusively for
the medicine wherewith to cure his
horses. The leaves were used in omen
tatiOns and The berries in elyslers. The
horses coming from this district, reared
among the bay trees, became known as
bay horses, and the uniformity Of their
color led To the common use OF the
term.

forthwith tc3k sim--the one at the head
of the tiger, the other at that of the

were fired was hardly fifteen PAGES.

HorseshOes of Straw.

The average horse II Japan has shoes
of straw, instead of iron, and uulil re-
Gently distances were measured by the
number OF straw shoes that a man OF q
horse would wear out in going from
one place to another. These straw
shoes are about half an inch thick
They are made of rice straw braided so
as to form sole for The horses foot,
and they are tied on by straw strings
just below the fetiocks.
Every cart has q stock of fresh new
shoes tied to the horse's harness. and
the driver keeps his eyes on the tesJ Of
his beast and changes his shoes as soon
as they become worn. These shoes
cost less than a cent a set, and as to
the straw sandals which the mel wear,
you can bay eight of them for one
cent. All along the country roads OF
Jspau you will see the straE = shoes OF
men and horses, and it is ssId that the
average horseshoe will last for about
an eight miles walk.

The Legislative Ticket.

To the Editor Of TIE Register:
SR-The communication from "Voter, -
in Yesterdays issue of your paper, suggest
inc the names of probable nominees of the
Democracy for the Senate and House OF
Delegates, has received the favorable COM
ments of all your Democratic readers.
The coming election will be holly con
tested, owing to the fact that the Legisla.
ture at the last session was so close, and
also because its results may have an impor-
tant bearing upon the struggle of 1892.
Judge Jacobs will unquestiOnably make the
strongest and best possible run Of any man
IN this Senatorial district. He is Of such
undoubted ability and integrity, and sc
favorably known, that the enemy can pro
duce no one with the slightest chance
against him.
or the gentleman mentioned for the
House of Delegates, there can be nothing
said that is not good. Mr.. Garden is an
experienced member, reliable and respect
ed. His services to the county are too re
cent to be forgotten by the voters. Mr.
Charles +. Brandfass is a merchant, mem
Der of Council and a gentleman of such
marked business ability and intelligence
that he cannot fail to make himself felt and
protect the interests of this county in the
Legislature.
No ticket would be properly rounded out
without lawyer on ii, and where would
you find one with more popularity and
ability than our big genial Col. Arnett.
What the Colonel couldn't get through {
Legislature no one else need attempt.
Labor was not forgotten, and Mr.. Robert
Pekari, the gentleman named upon the pro
posed ticket, splendidly represents its in
terests. If any Democrat in this county
distrusts smiling Bob's zeal for labor anc
Democracy he would doubt his own exist
ence or the truth of the writings of the
