CfFtB cf otIhkTARf,
30 NASSAU ST., N Y. Cry,
Feb. l4th, 1859.
W. A. kLrsoER, ESQ. Director Montgom-
cry County infirmary. Dayton. Ohio.
SIR: Your communication Of December
10th, 1883. addressed to General John {.
Black, Commissioner Of Pensions, Wash
ingson, ID. c., vas laid before the Board of
Managers Of the National Home, and, after
full consideration. vas referred to me for
reply.
II 10 the sense of the Board that it is not
in their power to afford any relief for the
evils OF which you complain, nor do they
deem II within their province to discuss or
pass upon the questions submitted BY you
~ to the justice Of compelling your insti-
tntion, which 10 4 county one, to support
certain ex-soiders who are excluded
by their own misconduct, sometimes
amounting no doubt to crime, from further
residence at the National Home. 1t was
not 1t the instance Of the Board. but at the
earnest request Of the citizens Of Montgom-
cry County and the people of your State,
that the Central Branch was established
near Dayton. 1t was not at the instance
nor by the desire of the Board that the
members Of the Home. by act of your Legs
lature, were made citizens of your State
and county, and thereby deprived of their
original residence and citizenship in other
Counties or States. II the matters of
which you complain impose burden upon
your taxpayers, it 10 certainly not the duty,
nor is it in the power of the Board of
Managers Of the National Home, to relieve
them from it.
When a man has been expelled from the
Home it is always after full confederation,
and because he is deemed no longer fit to
associate with the honest and honorable
veterans who constitute its mempership.
After his expulsion the Board have no
means provided to pay for his transports-
ton to any distant point, nor the power to
compel him to proceed there. and if, like
any other unfortur ate. he should happen TO
drift into the aims house, il certainly does
not appear why the fact that he once was
a soldier and rendered good service to his
country in time of need, should deprive
him of such poor privileges as any other
citizen. or foreigner even, may claim from
the charitable or correctional institutions
Of the country.
While the Board regret that any incon-
venience should come to you, or to the cit
izens of Montgomery county by reason Of
The establishment of the Home near Day
ton, they nevertheless hope that your PEG
pie have not been disappointed in the ex-
pectation of substantial advantages which
originally suggested the successful efforts
made by them to secure the location of the
Home at that point, and that such advan-
tages may more than Offset the evils of
which you complain.
The policy of the Board, may add. has
alwsys been liberal one in readmtting
men discharged for cause, and it 10 only in
the cases of the worst incorrigibles that
reinstatement is persistently or permanently
denied.
Very respectfully.
Your obedent servant.

10 pretty generous use Of printers ink, but
the experience of this wide awake firm has
demon strated the value of just such expen-

Some Odd Ideas of Crime.

Kansas City Times.
Did you ever stop to think of the
absurdity of this thing we can call
crime against society,"" Some one
breaks into your house. steels your
money, the savings of years and
leaves you helpless. Or some ono
sets you to indorse his note, leaves
you to pay it. and ruins you finan-
cially. This is called an offense
against society. the man is danger
GUS, and must be punished and re-
strained. He ia sent to prison for
twenty years--so as to give him
ample time to repent-set to work,
and the proceeds of his labor taken
by society. Where are you? You
are really the one against whom the
offense was committed-you are the
only sufferer. Why, then, not let the
earnings of his labor go to reimburse
you? That seems SO simple a rule of
justice that the wonder is idiots, let
alone law-givers, have not seen il
long since. But they haven't, and
they won't as long as we allow men
who live by teaching such stuff to do
our thinking and law-mnking for US.
Even a savage, a barbarian, knows
better than this. This ''crime
against society" is like the old f1c-
ton of "a sin against God" You go
to hell for one and to the pcnitentiary
Tor the other, when in fact the only
"crime" committedi is against the man
who suffers the injury, and the only
sin committed is against our fellow
man who suffers.

Scared BY Skulls.

One very noticeable popularity Of
the Bellingham Bay cities is the abb
sence of Indians and Cinnamon. The
former are seldom seen here and the
latter never. Why the Indians avoid
this place is not known, but some Of
the siwashes said that the natives
held this part OF the state in super-
stition through an event happening
during the Indian war about 1866.
1t ran thus: One night during tho
trouble with the savages a certain
camp of white settlers were expecting
an attack. The whites were informed
by a friendly but halt witted Indian,
who had received small sums of mon
ey from the settlers tor occasional
services he had done them.
The white men, finding that the saw
ages would far Outnumber them, re-
solved to thwart them by stratagem,
and this is the way it was accomplish
ed:
The Indians, on their way to attack
then, would have to pass through a
thickly wooded ravine that lay on
the north side of the Noosac river,
known as the Devils pass" Antici-
pating the savages' march, the white
men concealed themselves in the
gorge. They were armed, and carried
with them six human skulls belonging
to the surgeon of the party.
The whites had resolved to play
upon the superstition of the red man.
and for the purpose especially had
they chosen this dark retreat, OF
which the Indians had long been tim
i'd
1t was 10 o'clock at night March
II, 1860 when the white settlers
reached the dreaded ray inc. They
hurriedly stationed themselves with
their muskets commanding the In
dian trail, while four OF the party
lighted pitch torches and inserted
them into the skulls after the "Jack-
o'lante-n" fashion, thus giving them
a most ghastly appearance.
The lighted skulls We're stuck up
across the path the Indians would
Nave to travel on their way to attack
the camp.
The savages came stealing along in
large numbers about midnight, and
seeing the ghoul like, fire eyed skulls
stretching across their very pathway,
they took them for human devils and
fled in great fright, never padsing UNI
til the camping grounds OF the In
dams were reached.
The white were saved by strata

held a superstitious fear ofthis section
of the country.-Seattle Press.
