The ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

Orders have recently been issued by the
Secretary of the Treasury directing the off,
GERS OF the revenue marine to assume uni
form practically identical with that worn
by naval officers. Some think this will be
the hrst step towards the Incorporation of
the revenue marine in the navy. But Con-
gress must act first In the last Congress
the bill providing for the transfer although
favored by Secretary lWindom was success
fully opposed by Senator Sherman on the
ground that naval officers were given to
smuggling, and that they ought not to be
entrusted with the enforcement of the reye-
nue. laws.

Wonders Wrought by Pressure.

The enormous depth OF the great
Comstock mines in Nevada and the
gigantic and incomprehensible weight
of the mass of stones and earth rest
ing upon the timbers (Which actually
hold up the mountains that have lit
orally been honey-combed by the
miners) have wrought wonders which
puzzle the deepest thinkers. For in
stance, queer polished sticks as smooth
as undressed mahogany and not
thicker than your wrist, are often
taken out of deserted portions of the
mines. They are as hard and as
heavy as iron, and a knife OF The best
material will not make a scratch on
them. Do you have any idea what
they are? Drill cores, you think, but
they are not.
Originally they were solid oak tim
beis II by IL inches square. But why
are they no thicker than walking
stick upon removal, after having seen
years of service? The weight OF the
mountain bearing upon them from all
directions, perpendicularly as we'll as
laterally 0or it is only in this way
that mines of enormous depth can be
safely timbered) has wrought the
wonders seen in the polished stick.
Sometimes these transformed timbers
are found in small sections, sometimes
in long pieces, and are taken out
where cave-ins have occurred and dis
placed the workings.

Degradation by Pensions.

Lieut.. Allen r. Foote, In the December Forum

in 1861, and heard the kissing balls

skirmish of Blackburn's Ford, three
days before the first battle of Bull Run.
l marched with my company at the
last grand review at Washington. in
1865. l lost not a day from service
between those dates, except when dis
abled by a wound received at the bat
tie OF Fair Oaks. No man can say OF
me that am not with those who de.
mand pensions for loya! service, be-
cause did not serve or did not suffer.
l have written my record with my
blood. / am not with the mercenary
horde who demand pensions for duty
done, because my loyalty is not, and
never was, for sale.
What would be a just basis for pen
sions? In forming the legislation of
the country, the clamoring of the dis
honorable should not be considered.
When the pcnsion-roll is relieved of all
those who are not in need, and all who
are willing TO earn living if fitting
opportunity is found for them, those
that remain will be only the very few
who can, under the most favorable cir
cumstances that can he found for
them, earn only partly enough to sup
port themselves in comfort; those who

port; and those who can earn nothing,

each OF these classes abundance should
be given. No honorable person will,
for an instant, withhold from such as
they the full sympathy and support
which are their due. When the pen-
sion-roll has been so sifted, some dregs
may be left-moral and physical
wrecks who have reached the lowest
depths of degradation, and are un-
worthy of consideration, except as
paupers.
l am OF the opinion that close
canvass of all loyal volunteers will re-
suit in securing the active support of
at least hundred thousand real vet
erans for such reform of the pension
laws as will change the legal basis OF
the claim from "support by manual
labor" to impairment Of earning capac-
ay, and, further, provide that no claim-
ant shall receive payments when not
IN need or while earning a comfortable
living by public or private employ
ment. More than this, l believe that,
when the reasons for and the nature
of the reform demanded are once
properly understood, large numbers of
loyal volunteers who are now receiving
pension payments that they accept as
an honorable expression of the nations
gratitude and appreciation (but who
are not in need) will willingly see their
pension certificates cancelled, rather
than allow their honorable service to
be used as a cover for pensioning the
dishonorable and undeserving.
