Decision as to Those Who Joined the

WASHINGTON, October eth Assistant
Secretary Bussey has rendered in the case
of Russell s. Cole, of Company E, First
New York Veteran Cavalry, decision that
defines the status of prisoners of war. who,
having enlisted in the rebel service in or
der to escape imprisonment and return to-
their own command, and had applications
for pensions.
The decision rescinds the rule Izade by
Commissioner Black, on May 25, 1885, in
which the Commissioner held that regard:
less of the circumstances and of the mo-
lives of the prisoner of war so enlisurg in
the rebel service, even as device of escape
from starvation and imprisonment, sheaid-
be held as having voluntarily" aided the
rebellion aud be debarred from pension.
After presenting the full legal aspects of
the question the Assistant Secretary says:
The Department must be controlled in all
cases coming before it for adjudication, by
the fundamental rule that the rights of q
soldier and citizen alike can never be taken
away nor forfeited except by express terms
of law, the actual and obvious meaning of
which should be taken without resort TO
subtle and forced questions. l respectfully
over-rule the former decision of your Office

CAREY,S RESIGNATION,
Too Much Labor and Too Little Pa
for 1t.

Too Much Labor and Too Little Pay
for 1t.
General John T. Carey, United States
District Attorney, in rendering his resigna-
ton to the Attorr ey- General-as mentioned
In yesterdays RECORD UN1oN-gives the
following reasons for taking that step. He
says:
Several considerations have moved me
to resign, and none with greater force than
the indisposition of Congress TO make the
necessary appropriations to pay the very
meager compensation earned and allowed
to District Attorneys. / have accounts
very nearly three years old not paid for
want of appropriations. | have also lac-
counts in the year 1887 that were unjustly
disallowed by the Comptroller, and oesire
to bring suit tor them, which | could not
do consistently while in Office, and, should
l serve my term out, would delay me a
year in securing an appropriation. Ny own
department is wholly blameless and SEEM
ingly powerless in this matter. Again, the
emoluments of the office, as it has been
running during the past year, do not begin
to compensate me for the work done. l
have not entirely recovered from an i'll
ness contracted during the Terry trial last
spring, and l desire to take rest for
couple of months before going into active
practice, which l intend TO do at the be-
ginning of the year. 1t is needless for me
TO give other reasons, but suffice it to say
that l shall leave the office with the very
highest appreciation of your feeling that
our official relations have been most pleas
ant.
III will again thank you to forward my
resignation to the President at such time as
you may see proper, in order that it may go
into effect on the date fixed (November 1st)
and trust that you will recommend its ac-
ceptance."
General Carey received his appointment
from President Cleveland 10 1886, the same
being confirmed by the Senate on January
13, 1887.
Carey's successor will in all probability
be Charles a. Garter, of Red Bluff, and
formerly of this city. He was at one time
associated with General Chapman, who was
a candidate for the gubeTnatorial nomina-
ton before the Republican Convention

A DOCTORS REBUKE.
Immensely More Mischief than Is Gem
orally Suspected.

DR.. King, the eminent medical writer, In
Q learned disquisition on our national COM
plaint, constipation, says:-
The great quantity of cathartic pills, etc.
which are taken by the people OF this coun-
try are productive of immensely more mis-
chief than is generally suspected. True, the
physic unloads the bowels, but Its action
tends to diminish the tone Of the intestines;
30 that, instead OF removing costiveness, it
aggravates it, leaving the bowels in more
torpid condition.
Joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla was designed
to fill just such contingency as the doctors
arraignment anticipates, viz: instead OF be-
ing a powerful mineral purgative, It Is
mild vegetable laxative. that, owing to its
solvent and gentle stimulating properties, il
30 certain relief in constipation that it has
been given away to hundreds, not to be PAID
for unless it was of positive benefit 1t re-
places constipation almost Immediately
with natural easy habit, and is so mild
that, unlike drastic purgatives, it can b
taken indefinitely with perfect safety.

POISONING IN BOMBAY.
An Alarmingly Prevalent Practice-Some
of the Poisons Used.

An Alarmingly Prevalent Practice-Some
of the Poisons Used.
From the report of the Government
analyst of Bombay for the past year it ap-
pears that his department was concerned in
the investigation of 170 cases of suspected
human poisoning last year, in sc of which
the poison was actually discovered. In 81
of these the poison used was arsenic, in 20
opium, in FIVE pounded glass, in three
dhatura, in three mercury, in two nux
vomica. In one instance sweetmeat balls
containing arsenic were found in the pos
session of woman who had given direc-
tions that they were to be sent to certain
persons with whom she was at enmity; and
in another nine persons ate bread contain
ing large quantity of arsenic oxide. In
one case a man mixed poison with his food
and accused another of trying to poison
him. A woman confessed to having
pounded her glass bangles and mixed the
powder with her husbands bread. Glass
seems to be used for this purpose only when
poisons are not in reach. and the attempts
usually fail on account of the grittiness of
the glass exciting suspicion. Arsenic. be-
ing easily obtainable, is the chief resource
OF the Indian poisoner, and is usually ad-
ministered in sweetmeats. Opium comes

SAN Francisco, October 9th.-Most raisin
producers are too busy just now to estimate
their probable output other than very
roughly. But the best authorities say Cali
fornia will this year pack fully 1 800, 900
boxes. 1t is an interesting fact to note, for
these interested in the States all-round
progress in horticultural matters, that this
estimated pack is about twenty times the
raisin output of ten years ago, and over
two hundred times the amount packed in
1878 All the raisin-maKers will make
money this year if early rains do not
trouble them. As rule, they are wide
awake and watchful, and should the skies
again cloud, as they did recently prepara-
tory to storm, the drying grapes would
probably be stacked or covered. The tariff
bill has become law at very timely sea-
son for California raisins, and prices prom
ise to keep up we'll. Shipments East have
already begun.
A Fresno raisin expert says that county
will send out 900 900 boxes this season.
Less than half that quantity was produced
three years ego, according to accepted
statistics. The pack of Riverside and San
Bernardino county is estimated at fully
25O,OO0 boxes, and OF San Dlego county
somewhere near 10000 boxes. Yolo,
Butte, Solano, Tehama and Shasta will all
send out some raisins of excellent quality.
The Muscat vine will grow and raisins will
dry in nearly every interior county in the
State, and hence the raisin- producing area
is constantly growing.
1t is peculiar and rather surprising fact
that important as raisin production is fast
becoming the subject is not at present COv-
cred to any degree by any of the State
Commissions. Raisin-making is rightly
branch of horticulture, yet the State
Board of Horticulture pays no attention
to the subject, except occasionally at the
Fruit-growers' Conventions. Secretary
Lelong says the subject more properly be-
longs to the Viticultural Commission, but
the officers of the latter Board consider
their work relates chiefly to wine grapes
and wine-making. In this state of affairs
it may be necessary for the next Legisla-
ture, especially should it prove as lavish in
expenditures as the last, to appoint special
Board of Raisin Commissioners.

AN HONEST OFFICIAL.
He Refuses to Accept Pay for Services
Not Rendered.

WARRINGTON October 9th.-The appoint
ment of John n. Irwin, of Keokuk, Iowa,
as Governor of Arizona few days ago, re-
calls an incident in his experience as Gov
elnor of Idaho under President Arthur. He
was called home by death in his family,
and remained in Keekuk several months
settling up the estate. The Treasurer of
the United States sent him his salary regu-
larly, but the Governor declined ii, saying
he had not earned any money from the
Government while at home about his pri-
vate affairs, and sent the checks back to
Washington. This presented new ques-
tion for the Treasury officials. No one
ever made suohia complaint before. They
did not know whatsto do with the money.
Finally it was placed to the credit of the
conscience fund. This made the old Gov
ernor indignant, and he forthwith for
warded to the departments an emphatic pro-
test. He was unwilling that any money
which he sent to Washington should be
placed in the same fund with that surrend-
cred by repentent thieves. Then the amount
was placed to the credit of the public debt
of the United States. His is the only case
of the kind on record.

AMERICAN BOARD OF MISSIONS.
A Paper introduced Which Called Forth
an Animated Discussion.

an animated DISCuSSIOus
MINNEAPOLIS, October 9th.-The most
interesting paper to come before the
American Board, and one which called
forth acrimonious debate, was the report
of the committee of nine appointed year
ago to examine into the method of the ad-
ministra,ion of officials of the Board in
Boston, especially the methods employed
by the home SECRETARY in ascertaining the
qualifications of candidates for the mis-
slonary field. The Chairman of the COM
mittee is Astor Walker of New York, and
associated with him are others representing
the two great wings of the Board, but not
extremists in any sense.
The report made a detailed showing of
the finances of the Board, and compared
what the Board has received yearly for its
work, with what is given TO other
Urge benevolent societies of the church.
The figures showed that while the contri-
buttons to these other bodies have been in
creasing year by year as the church grew,
there has been practically no increase in
the donations to the American Board. This
state of affairs, the paper argued, showing
dissatisfaction in churches, ending in quar-
rels, that have come as result of the pres
ent system of administration.
The report, which was lengthy one,
was summed up in the form of resol utions
at the conclusion. These provide that q
Committee on Treasurer's Report be ap-
pointed by the Board at the annual meet
| ing next previous to the meeting at which
the committee is called on to act that the
