A CURIOUS EPISODE OF THE WAR.
From the Drawer Of Harpers Magazine for March.
A veteran of he-Connecticut Reg
iment of Volunteers keeps at home a
handsome uniform of a Confederate
officer which was never worn but by
himself, and to which he owes some
months or years of liberty, if not life
itself.
He was tailor before the civil war,
apd when he was captured on a Southern
battlefield this fact reached the ears of
the commander of the prisoners bar
racks.
"Egadl I'll have the Yankee goose
pusher make mesa new suit" said the
officer, gazing at his dingy uniform.
The finest gray cloth, gold lace, and
bright buttons were brought to the tailor
prisoner, who worked cheerfully away at
the welcome employment. On the even
ing the suit was to be delivered, however,
bright idea occurred to him, and soon
what was to all appearances spruce
Confederate officer walked past the
guards, and was seen no more in that
part of Dixie. History kindly draws the
veil over the expletives vented on the
nutmeg Yankee" for not only gaining
his liberty--he earned that-but for TAX
ing that precious snit, which cost so
many hundred dollars of good Confed-
crate money.

THE Gar of Russia has just decorated

THE Gar of Russia asjust decorated
a private soldier, whose fidelity recalls
the story Of the Roman sentinels, who
perished in the destruction Of Pompeii.
When a recent earthquake destroyed
small Russian town in Central Asia, the
soldier was on duty at the military
treasury. Although the houses were
crashing around him, he stood motionless
awaiting death. Fortunately sergeant
saw him amid the ruins and instantly
ordered him to quit the post

DOES PROTECTION MAKE THE RICH RICH
Err AND THE POOR POORER?

DOES PROTECTION MAKE THE RICH RICH
Err AND THE POOR POORER?
When free trader tells you that pro-
lection makes the rich richer and the poor
poorer, tell him to prove it. He can't
prove it, but yeu can disprove it.
Protection creates an industry, and that
industry of course requires labor. Don't
forget that. 1t couldn't be run without
labor. If it uses great deal of machine
ry instead of labor, then it contributes
that much to the employment of labor
in making machinery. In any event, it
increases the demand for labor, and in
creased demand means better prices for
labor; that is, better wages, or if there
is unemployed labor, more employment
for labor and less burdening of the en-
ployed by the unemployed. Even the
free trade Times admits that the pro-
ducers support the n-producers, and
you know how it is in union if you
are assessed for somebody who is out of
work.
Thus protection benefits you in what
you sell-your labor. Now what does it
do with you as to what you buy? 1t
gives you a home supply of it, by pro-
noting its manufacture. You can buy
almost every article of food, clothing,
or working tools cheaper in terms of
days work than you can in free trade
England. A coat may cost you IS
which you could buy in London for 81,
but when you can earn that $6 in three
days, you are better off than the En-
glishman who has to work four days to
get his 81; for at the end of four days
he would only have the coat, while you
would have the coat and 81. We can
assure you, on free trade as well as pro-
lection authority, that the difference in
wages as compared to the cost of living
is in favor of the American workman.
Michael G.. Mulhall's Dictionary Of Sta
tistics, free trade authority, says that
in England the cost of food is nearly
one-half the value of labor, while here
it is only one-third. We have only one
pauper in every 535 of the population
here, while Great Britain has one in ey-
cry forty. Does that look as if protect
ion made the poor poorer in a way that
free trade does not? And remember
that permanent protection policy, if it
does make the rich richer, continually
tempts them to reinvest their money in
profitable enterprises requiring the en-
ployment of labor, and thus keeps up
the process of making the poor richer at
the same time.

EPOCH.

The transition from long, lingering and
painful sickness to robust health marks
an epoch in the life of the individual;
such remarkable event is treasured in
the memory and the agency whereby the
good health has been attained is CRATE
fully blessed; hence it is that so much is
heard in praise of Electric Bitters: so
many feel they owe their restoration to
health, to the use of the Great Alternative
and Tonic; if you are troubled with any
disease of kidneys, liver or stomach, of
long or short standing you will surely find
relief by use of Electric Bitters. Sold at
SOC and 81 at Patterson's drug store.

Whisky and beer stand between tens of
thousands of people and success. True,
many hard drinkers live, but that is all;
they can't advance. They may live fifty
years, but they are as poor at that age as
they were at 20. They can point to the
whisky bottle and say: Judge by that
the kind and extent of my poverty
They can point to the beer mug and say:
There is my certificate of deposit for all
these years."

RICH ENOUGH TO CARE FOR THEM AL

RICH ENOUGH TO CARE FOR THEM ALL.
Jonathan p Dolliver. NJ C.
There are great many people, most
of them men of property and influence,
who applauded the late President when
he set the veto of his little brief author
ity against the decent provision of Con-
gress for the infirmities of age and dis
ease that are fast shattering the broken
ranks of the old Union army.
As the people read these messages
day after day, each one carrying dis
tress to some cripple, some widow, some
old father or mother, sitting in the shad-
ow Of death, they could not help thinking
of the day, in March, 1865, when Abra-
ham Lincoln stood on the east portico
of the capitol, and in the name of the
American people promised to care for
him who had borne the battle and for
his widow and orphaned children.
They could not help thinking of that
rainy April morning, just before treason
had done its work, when the President
went down to the hospital at City Point,
and in the gloom of those dull walls
held a reception at the bedside of
the sick, wounded and dying, more
princely than if blazing chandeliers
had flashed upon the jewels of the
capitol.
This Nation is rich enough and gen.
erous enough to take care of the disa-
bled veterans and their dependent fam
lilies, and it makes no difference what it
costs. 1t would be better for all the ex-
changes of wealth to be plundered, ev-
cry bond repudiated, every contract
broken, every coin of the realm debased,
rather than that the old age of the Union
army should be embittered by the ap-
preaching shadows of poverty and want
OHIO NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
The fifth annual meeting of the Ohio
Archaeological and Historical Society,
which will be held in Columbus, March
9Th and 7th, promises to be one of unu-
sual interest. The programme includes
an evening address by Prof. G. Freder-
lex Wright, of Oberlin, on the "Ice Age
in North America" The lecture will
be illustrated by stereopticon pictures.
Friday will be devoted chiefly to busi-
ness, and hearing short papers. One by
DR.. E. E. Brush, on the "Early Phys
icians of the Muskingum Valley" will
be presented, and, if able to be present,
Hon. VIM. Farrar will give synopsis
of paper he is preparing on the Mora
Wan Mission at Gnadenhutten.
Friday evening, the Society's annual
dinner will be held This is a new
feature, and is, perhaps, in its social
features, one of the chief attractions of
the meeting. This is to Ohio what the
New England dinner is to the Massa-
chusetts Society. A general invitation
is extended to any who wish to attend
and enjoy the meeting. Reduced rates,
on the certificate plan, will be granted
to all who attend. Full information can
be had by addressing the Secretary, Mr..
A. A. Graham, Columbus.
The members of the Ohio Society
Sons of the American Revolution will
also meet at this time. All who can
trace their lineage to one who took part
in that conflict are especially invited to
be present.

Something in a Name.

Stevenson, somewhere, calls attention to
the fact that most men of high destinies
have high-sounding names, Though Pym
and Habbakuk, to be sure. he suggests, find
themselves at disadvantage before Oliver
Cromwell and Isaiah. And particularly
does he feel the English admirals to be
fortunate in cognomenclature, to make the
word fit the necessity. There are Admirals
Drake and Hawke and Rock and Boscawen
and Frobisher and Cloudesley Shovel
mouthful Of quaint and sounding syllables.''
says his admirinR chronicler.
But suppose Cloudesley Shovel's mother
had named him John or Thomas, what hope
could he ever have INDUCED of fame? How,
indeed, could he have wished it from the
perpetuation of such name as Jack Shovel?
Or suppose Napoleon Bonaparte had been
Abijah or Moses, or even plain Henry-is it
not likely that he would have been defer
entail, shuffling citizen to the end of his
days? All of which is intended to lead up
to consideration of the fact that there is a
science of nomenclature if people would
only recognize it; and that that science
should have its claims acknowledged, and
that no parent has right to thrust his
child out into a scorning world with name
that is anything less than pleasing and
euphonious combination of syllables.

QUAY HAS HIS WAY.

The decision of the republican sena-
tors with reference to Quay's resolution
indicates that the Pennsylvania sena-
tors views on the force bill viii prevail
A vote on the tariff bill will be taken
early next month. Then the other
measures IN Qusy's resolutions will be
discussed. The election bill will not be
taken up until congress reassembles in
December. This means that the repub-
licans in congress are in no hurry to
rush the bill through, as they are being
urged to do by many Of the leading re-
publican journals. It is quite likely that
this action is but : preliminary step to-
ward the final shelving OF the bill. The
division Of opinion in the republican
marty on the advisability of passing the
bill has taken very marked form. For
instance, the st. Louis Globe Democrat
declares that the exigencies of the situa-
tion demand that the republicans of the
senate shall drop tho bill. The New
York Tribune declares that every sena-
tor who il ! republican must realize his
obligation to do Ill he can for the meas
ure.
The Portland Oregonian says: "The
country has worried along without it in
moderate comfort for good many years.
We shall not goto ruin il it is not passed
forthwith. It 10 doubtful if the law
would serve any practical purpose any
way. It would never be enforced where
public aentiment vas against it."

dare paas . bill % strongly opposed by
representative republican journals. As
matter Of policy the party cannot az
