A circular issued by local pen.
sion agent contains the following in.
teresting paragraph
We would like to have you call al
our Office at your convenience Ia
consult with us regarding your
pension or war claim business.
The laws are now very liberal,
and much of the red tape of past
years is done away with. The CIV.
idence needed is very simple.
Soldiers or officers dishonorably
discharged or dismissed from the
service can now get pensions.
Charges of desertion can often bC
cancelled.
Old, rejected cases can be re.
opened and proved up under the
new rules of evidence.
The Herald has said on many oc.
casions that the time would come
when the real veterans of the Civil
War would be compelled in self-de.
fence to call halt to the pension
ing of frauds and pretenders. Is il
not likely that the time is now al
hand ?
When charges of dcscrtion can be
cancelled. and when men dishon.
orably dismissed can secure pen.
sions, what guarantee does the real
soldier or the widow Of the real sol.
der have that the mighty rush for
pensions will not presently lead to
default on the part of the Govern
ment that will disappoint the just
as we'll as the unjust?
There were towards, sneaks, de-
serters, bounty jumpers, bummers
and straglcrs in blue in war time
thousands of them, as every old
soldier knows. They are all alive
to-day and demanding pensions.
When claim agents have the audac.
ity to Issue circulars like the above
it is time for the true patriots of the
country to assert themselves. Pol
iticians will not attack the evil.
The worthy pensioners must move
in self defense. ChicagO Herald.

guished families.

thc inaie sex nau completely dis
appeared. The Youngest of the
females, little Eva, was three years
old. The decline of natural forces
had brought about decline OF
human forces, and with it the
decline of inventions and usages
which had formally seemed 60
indispensable.
Crossing the Pacific ocean our
adventures observed that Ceylon
was freer from ice than other
regions, and approaching it they
saw to their JOY II group of FIVE
women in mourning, the then last
survivors of the race IN Asia.
They alighted, told the object of
their explorations and had no diff
Guilty in convincing the fair Asiatics.
Their despair disappeared like a
mist and few hours after the
arrival of the aeronauts the five
nuns had become the most elegant
ofwomen. But Ceylon was moro
desolate than Suntown I; provisions
were scarce, and the whole party,
taking the women with them,
returned to their African homo.
Arrived there, they found that
the friends'and relatives they had
left behind were all dead or dying
from an epidemic the cold, too,
was increasing; and, although they
kept mp fires and shut Off all COM
munication with the outer air, death
was busy among them, until, at the
end of few weeks, all had passed
away save only the youngest woman,
Eva, her lover 0megar, who saw
without delusion the inevitable fate
which awaited them, well knowing
that no other spring would ever
bloom on earth.
However, the sky cleared, and
the young couple, taking all the
provisions available, rose i'm their
aerial boat to Judge of the last
invasion of the snow, and saw that
the whole city was buried.
They then started for tho Nile
valley, and on reaching it they saw
with delight that the great pyramid
was still standing, the last evidence
on earth Of the work Of man 8
hands.
There they found shelter among
the ruins, and, folded in each
others arms, took their last look at
earth, and murmuring, eternal love
to each other they sunk into the
sleep o. death.
Aud the snow continued to fall
as y fine powder, OH the surface OF
the earth.
And the earth continued to
revolye OF its axis and to float
through the inmensity of space.
And the sun continued to shine,
but with n reddish and barren light,
and stars continued to scintillate in
the immensely of the heavens.
And the infinite universe contin-
ued to exist, with its billions of liy-
ing or extinct planets.
And in all the worlds peopled
with the joys Of life love continued
to bloom beneath the smiling glance
OF the eternal.

From the oakland RepublIcan.

From the Oakland Republican,
Miss Mile Clark. of Kingwood,
we'll known to many OF 0akland's
residents, spent Thursday OF last
week visiting Mrs. Howe at the
Park.
Charles Edgar Brown, Esq, Of
the Police Commission, Cincinnati,
was in Oakland few days since our
last issue. Mr.. Brown is conduct
ing the campaign for Governor
Campbell.
A West Virginia couple came to
Oakland Tuesday morning and got
married." About IL o'clock they
were seen going towards the Oak
land Hotel carrying cantaloupe
and q package of water crackers,
which, no doubt, constituted their
wedding dinner.
Rev. M. w. Rider, Of Kingwood,
was at the Park, Friday, to see Mrs.
Rider who has been there since G..
A. II. day receiving medical treat
ment from DIR. II. w. McComas.
Mr.. Rider returned to Kingwood
on Saturday.
Mrs. Lizzie Rider, Of Kingwood,
who has been at the Park receiving
medical treatment, was brought to
Oakland on Monday, and is domi-
ciled at Maryland Cottage. She lisa
very much improved at this writing.
W. IL. Butler, Esq, who is
building house in Terra Alta,
will soon leave Oakland and locate
permanently in the above mention
cd village.
Cumberland is arranging for
large display Of its trade and in-
dustrial interests in the shape Of
celebration next October, to last
three days or more.
Hotel proprietors say this has
been the dullost season in the his
tory Of Oakland, and the only way
they can account for IL is because no
real warm weather has been ex-
perienccd in the cities. Another
reason is, a great number have ta-
ken advantage Of the lew rates to
Europe and instead Of coming to
the mountains have gone tothe Old
World.
A very neat invitation has been
issued by Rev. and Mrs. William
J. Sharpes announcing the mar.
riago Of their only daughter, Miss
Lille, to T.. 0. Ridonour, tho
handsome merchant Of Aurore.
which event is to take place at the
home Of the prospective bride.
Oakland, on Wednesday evening,
Sept. 9th, at 1880 O'Clock.

Mrs. Margaret Hamilton weIch.

A bright little woman lives on Jeffer- son avenue, in Brooklyn, whose pen and shoulders bear up the burden of four little fatherless children. She is Mar garet Hamilton Welch, widow of the late Philip H. Welch. the humorist and satirist, who was removed early in ca reer of much promise. Mrs Welch is a woman of perhaps thirty-not more delicate, graceful and refined, and to the observer would not seem well fitted to Jostle elbows with an uncharitabls world
 She has bright, sparkling dark eyes, and her hair, which is combed la pomp- adOur. is black. She does most credita- ble work in Her Point of View" in the New York Times, and is regarded as one of the brightest writers on the city press.
 The little ones for whom she works untiringly. to whom she is both mother and father, are as lively and wholesome set of youngsters as may be found any where. 1.-The back is equal to the bur den" she said, with a smile, when she "oo Ot ucE uOuSChoAu, she maintains as many strong man is not able to sustain it.; but her shoulders seemed unusually narrow when she spoke of the size of the burden. She finds time for pen work in several ways besides her column in The Times. Her contributions are regarded with favor by Life and other journals of like nat ure, where her husband once made such clever hits
 The pathetic incidents in connection with the work of Philip H. Wolch, who was great sufferer much of the time ne was evolving his satirical drives on the weaknesses of human nature, will not soon be forgotten. Neither will the wave of sympathy that passed over the country for his widow and fatherless lit- tie ones. Mrs. Welch was clever as- Slstant to him in his literary work and was doubtless receiving preparation for the work that then lay ahead of her.

Manufacturers and Dealers in Super
 phosphates, Bone Meal. Etc.

T>OR SOME TIME A GREAT WANT HAS E been felt by the orange grower of southern California for fertilizer adapted to this fruit. We have been successful in finding just the food, and now offer to the orange grower our "Orange Tree Fertilizer" It Is an article thoroughly adapted to this tree, consisting of bone, potash, phosphoric acid. ammonia and other ingredients, and is complete manure for growing trees, from time of setting out to full maturity. Gophers will not work where this fertilizer Is n.ed, on account of their distaste for the phosphoric acid which Is very helpful to the tree-either orange or lemon. In the growing of other citrus or deciduous fruits in California the use of fsuperphosphates,a according to Prof. Higard, will be found much better adapted to the purpose than either barnyard or stable manure, in that they contain the neces- sary constituents of which the soil has been de- prived by its long continuance in the cultiva- ton of such crops In setting out trees, one pound per tree should be used, thoroughly quantity used on old trees according to the age of the tree-tree 5 years Otd, pounds; 10 years old 10 pounds. If the trees are 20 feet apart or more, and the soil be very poor, greater quan- tity may be used to good advantage. The fer tilizer may be applied at any time before rain or irrigating. Price, sS6 per ton.

@ THE ARIZONA SUGAR COMPANY o

The farmers who may subscribe to the stock of the company will have . vital and personal interest in the production of sugar beets.
 Farmers and capitalists can estimate the chances of loss and gain as well as the directors of the company, but it may be promised that agricultural land free from taxation forms safe investment, and that machinery which can be inn ported free of duty and enjoys immu- nity from taxation, is only subject to loss by fire, which can be covered by insurance.
 Land in Arizona will produce at least twenty tons of sugar beets per acre, twice annually.
 The market price will depend upon the quantity of saccharine.
 Sugar beets require neither bagging nor storage; but are cash at the mill, and the company might even be able to ad- vance money on unencumbered land de- voted to their cultivation.
 It is matter of consequence in some parts of Arizona that sugar beets ex- tract alkali from the soil better than any other production.
 After supplying the home market in Arizona with sugar, molssses, confec- tions, etc, transportation is the most serious question, and the smaller bulk the production of the country can be reduced into the better for the producer.
 Sugar will bear transportation better than hay, grain, or ores.
 A sugar mill at some railway depot with capacity of 100 tons per day, at $5 per ton for sugar beets, would be @ great benefit to the farmers and mer. chants of Arizona.
 The cooperative system of offering the farmers one-half of the capital stock payable in the productions required for the mill has worked we'll in Germany and France, and in fact the cooperative system in every country is the out growth of civilization.
 The farmers interest in the company will be a guarantee to the nonresident shareholders of vigilant watchfulness over the management. and by united ef- fort a staple production may be intro duced in Arizona which will enliven the source of all permanent prosperity AGRICULTURE.
 It is not to be overlooked that after the saccbarine matter is extracted from sugar beets the residium forms excellent food for sheep, cattle, hogs, poultry, etc., and nothing that comes from the soil is wasted.
 The cultivation of sugar beets may be carried on by the least intelligent labor. Indians, Mexicans, children may all be employed in transplantinG the beets and gathering the crop. Only the mill re- quires intelligent labor.
 Sugar industries are being started in many States of the Union less adapted by nature to the growth of saccharine products than Arizona, and an effort on the part of the residents may encourage assistance from abroad.
