this: Just after we struck the Weldon

Queer time for poker

FAITH AND SCIENCE.

And while the vows of men they share.
Have separate altars here.
A golden lamp the one displays,

The other walks meath starry rays.
With sometimes clouds between.
The voice of one enIOins the wise,
To mete. and weigh, and proves
The other lifts expectant eyes
And inly murmurs. Lowell

To Science that interprets Earth.

Frank NJ. Pennington, a well known
citizen here, has just been granted pen
sion of eight dollars month. This was
one of the most complicated and interest
ing claims which has ever been filed in the
pension bureau. He is native of Florida
In April, 1861, he enlisted in Confederate
regiment for ninety days. Just before his
term expired he was conscripted for three
years. At the battle of Kenesaw Mountain
he was captured.
While prisoner in Illinois he enlisted
in the United States navy, on board the old
Ironsides, where his gallantry in action at
the final assault on Fort Fisher is officially
mentioned. He was afterward transferred
to another vessel, and in consequence of
leaving it without proper papers he was
placed on record as a deserter. The SEN
tence Of desertion has been corrected and
an honorable discharge procured, with ar

Firth Avepue STAGES.

1T Is just like Paris or London, you
know" was the excited comment of a
lady seated high up on the roof of a
Fifth avenue stage, And if it isn't
'.just like" this ride up from the Wash
ington arch to Central park is a strong
reminder of London from the Knife
board" and the pleasant hours to be
spent on top of the Partisan buses. In
New York the possession of the roof is
most vigorously contested by ladies.
1t Is the vantage ground from which
the visitor to the metropolis gets the
best view of the storied wealth and
grandeur of Fifth avenue In the cool
of the evening it is where tired shop
girls and their ardent escorts. young
couples arrayed in their best suits of
clothes, take a happy evening out above
the maddening crowd. Ten cents a pair
goes immeasurably further on top of a
Fifth avenue stage than twice the money
in ice cream The inside of the stage
may be empty-it usually is in fair
weather as long as one vacant seat re-
mains on top The seeker after fresh air
and the sights of the streets declines to
ride anywhere else but on the roof
If four times the number of coaches
were run the roof seats could contain
but small proportion of those who de-
light to use them at certain hours of the
day If you desire to enjoy the finest
street of residences in the world from
the most advantageous point of view
You must go down to Washington place
and start with the stage. And right
there is where you occasionally get the
additional treat of a dozen half hysterical
women and shouting young girls scram-
bling up a steep. crooked. 8-inch stair
way for the first time. From that time
you will probably think the abolition of
the old Broadway stage was mistake,
and that all they needed was double
row of roof seats to have converted them
into a joy forever.-New York Herald.
