A travelling man s experience would make

tion to write 1t out. For instance, l will
mention an adventure had some years ago
down in Indian Territory, says W. ID. Nc
Clanahan in the st. Louis Globe Democrat.
1t was late in the fall season when l had
finished working Texas that met fellow
raveler in Denlson who told me that a GER
tain party in the Territory had been making
anxious inquiries about me, that he wanted
nice bill of holiday goods, and thatI should

him next morning. After an early break

him my layout. he replied that he was
going to market soon, and 1t would be time
wasted on MIN. This was damper on me,
but thought he was playing to see if had

train was to leave at ten O'Clock. Nine
o'clock came and was beginning to get

samples, but still he insisted that he did not
wish to place an order. AS the clock struck
9 80 l shook hands all round and started for
the train. He said goodbye, cooly, and
feeling very much disgustcd l sought the
depot. Just as I was checking my baggage
my customer came putting and blowing up

A native newspaper published at Bitlis,
in Asiatic Turkey, narrates the following
remarkable story: Three Mussulman trav-
elers were lately journeying to Poulank
On arriving at spot called Ahlat on the
Lake of Van one of them approached the
water and beg his ablutions. AS he was
Tipping his feet into the lake he uttered a
scream. His leg bad been seized in the jaw
OF a marine m onster, which was dragging
him into the water.
His companions ran to his assistance, and,
taking him by the hands. they succeeded in
brin Hng him ashore; Dut what was their
SURPRISE when they saw the monster also
emerxe from the water, firmly attached by
the teeth 10 the calf OF his leg Knives,
sticks and every thing else that was
brought 10 bear upon the monster proved
unavailing, and at last the ingenious tray
elers bethought themselves Of heroic
mea sure. They lighted good fire, and on
1t the Jaw Of the obstinate animal holding
the mans leg was placed, the companions
OF the victim, who was yelling with pain all
the While, standing near to watch the re-
suit.
The heat apparently reused the animal
from its torpor; 1t began 70 move its body,
and suddenly flew into the air, still holding
the man by the leg. After flying up TO a
height Of about forty yards it directed its

with q nightly splash, burying It's victim
IN the depths of the water.

A correspondent of the Times of India
tells the following story, which will doubt
less fit in with the "reminiscences of great
many Americans of their experience with
French walters, cabmen and such: 81
heard n capital story the other evening,
which shows how sometimes the most
high-flown and choicest Hindustani, culled,
as it were, from the rarest fiower-beds Of
the 'Bag-o-Bahar,' is thrown away and
wasted on the soldiery Of the more south
ern presidencies. When the late Sir
Charles Trcvelyan, who will always prob
ably be remembered because he married
Macaulay's sister, and not because he was
an Indian bigwig, was Governor of Madras,
he had 10 give away some order of merit or
other reward for distinguished service TO a
native officer of sappers. The occasion was
a great one, and the sapDers mustered
strong TO see one Of their number decorat-
ed Sir Charles, accompanied by large
and brilliant retinue, al IN full dress, rode
up to the ground, and then, in the purest
and best Urdu that he had learned in the
Bengal Presidency, congratulated the
native officer about TO be decorated on the
distinguished honor the Government was
doing him, dwelt on the valOr and loyalty

The Prevailing Depression.

The prevailing depression in Ameri.
can agriculture is treated by the sta
tistician, j. II. Dodge, in the March
report of the Department Of Agricul-
ture. The prevalence Of low prices is
noted, aud feeling of Encouragement
of the rural circles throughout the
world is indicated. 1t is, and has
been, especially severe in Great Brit
ain, and is the subject of official dis
cussion and investigation in Ger
many. France, Italy, and other coun.
tries, 1t is present in moparchy and
republic, under diverse circumstances
and economic systems. But 1t is less
severe here than in other countries.
Though prices of implements, utensils,
aud fabrics are so low, the farmers IN
terest account is not reduced, and his
mortgage harder to lit. The main
cause of low prices is referred TO the
inexorable law of supply and demand
Corn, wheat and other articles are low
because of over production. Imm-

the Pension Situation.
Globe-DemocrAt,


It Is evident that the dependent PEN
SION bill passed by the senate repre-
sents the limit OF possible legisla-
ton by the present congress In behalf
of the soldiers. The bill is o liberal
one, and will add about $35, 000, 600 per
year to the amount now paid for pen
sion purposes. 1t provides that VIZ
per month shall be granted to all hon
orably discharged soldiers who are UNI
able to earn living, and that the same
assistance shall be given TO the depen-
dent widows, children or parents of
old soldiers who have died from causes
other than vicious habits or violations
of law. On this proposition the vote
stood AZ to II; but all amendments de-
signed to enlarge the scope OF the
measure were voted down by pro-
nounced majorities. The drift OF the
discussion went to show very plainly
that republican as well as democratic
senators are satisfied that this is as
much as can safelyand properly be done
for the soldier element under existing
circumstances. At some future time
more will be given, undoubtedly; but
this is all that can now be expected.
The pension expenditures have grown
10 such dimensions that it is necessary
10 establish limit and to refuse APP
preparations which are not needed TO
relieve actual want. In short, the idea
of a service pension Is impracticable
at this time; and those who favor it
will have to wait until the govern
mcnt shall bc in better condition to
stand the necessary outlay.
The veterans in general will accept
this fact without complaint. They have
not asked as a class for more than the
senate bill comedies. Those of them
who are able-bOdied aud capable OF
supporting their families do not desire
pensions, and have no wish 10 see the
government embarrassed OH their &C
account. They are not less patriotic
now than they were when they shout
dered their guns and marched to The
war. Those who are clamoring for
pensions OH the score of service alone
do not represent the feeling of the ma
jority and are not authorized to speak
for anybody but themselves. All SOL
diers insist that the disabled and de-
pendent should be decently cared for,
instead of being left to seek refuge IN
the poor houses, or to subsist upon the
charity of friends and acquaintance ;
and the senate bill fully meets this view
of the matter. Under such a law no
old soldier need be beggar or a pau
per. A pension of Sl2 per month will
provide the necessities of life, 10 say
the least. When the government can
afford to enlarge the list and to dis
tribute money in the sense OF reward
for duty performed aud danger in
Cured, regardless Of the question OF
personal distress, it will probably do
so. No other nation in the world has
ever done so much ms it has already
done for its soldiers, and it will do
more as opportunity shall offer and as
generosity Shall dictate. But for sew
eral years TO come, it must in justice
to itself observe a certain degree OF
economy, and contine its pensions to
cases where such assistance is matter
of necessity.
