An EpistIe, Delayed Nearly Forty Years,
Received by CentrevilIe Man Yester-
day.
CEETRKvIILE, Md, Aug 5.--In 1857
J. w. w. Woodward of Centreyille, then
quite young man, was clerking for Mr..
EliAson, and made application to William
rorbert of Elkton, Md, for situation.
He never received any reply to the appli-
cation until to-day, when an envelope
bearing the Baltimore city post office
stamp, August 3. 1891, 130 .. m
reached him. Enclosed in the envelope
WAS the following letter, written nearly
thirty four years ago:
"ELKToN Sept. 25, 1857 Master ].
W. Woolford: l received your letter yes
terday, and have concluded to engage
You. Please write me and let me know
If you accept, that there may be no dis
appointment If you are here by Mon
day week it will answer me. YoNrs
truly, WILLIAM ToRBERT.
Had Mr.. Woodferd received this letter
properly, it might have changed ths
whole tenor of his life. Where the let
ter has been these thirty four years is al
interesting question Baltimore Sun.

1t is explained by the Press that Grant
and Garfield. though generally tosbe re
spected, were sin error" when they set
thirty millions year as probable maxi
mum of the pension list. "The cause Of
their error lay in the fact that they did
not allow for what may be called the sec
ord growth Of Rebellion disabilities. "
This Is exactly true. Neither Grant nor
Garfield nor any ether Of the great soldiers
Of the civil war anticipated this Second
growth, this overwhelming crop Of al
legged disabilities incurred or invented
years after the war closed. They had toe
high an opinion of the American volun'
teer to suppose that he would ever allow
uuscrupulous demagogues to put him IN
the position OF mendicsnt II is just
this "second growth" that has done the
mischief and has made people distrustfu
even Of the original first crop of deserv
| ing pensioners.

CHICAGO has an ordinance forbidding
the use Of vehicles on certain fashionable
boulevards unless there be lady aboard

through the boulevards on load Of hay
II he has lady with him, while he can
not make the same trip alone in q

That is a curious mlstatement and
misconception Of an excellent ordinance.
The boulevard system Of magnificent
avenues is under the control Of the Parh
Board and is subject TO the same regula

there are signs warning traffic wagons

driving, like the parks, not for traffic
There are many other streets suitabl
for traffic so that this law is no hardship

A MEASURE OF SHAM FOR GREED.

A MEASURE OF SHAM, FOR GREED.
The labor organizations do not intend
70 allow that patriot and profuse
weeper for the condition Of the
workingman in Europe in Congress,
Niedringhaus, to escape lust criti-
cism for his reversal Of all his congress
sional sentiments as an employer in st.
Louis.
The labor officials In New York have
written to Frank g. Witte Of st. Louis /
requesting him in the interest Of the
Knights to ascertain the cause Of the
trouble between Mr. Niedringhaus and
his men, and also to find out the extent
of his tin industry; requesting that he
(Mr. Witte) ascertain II there are any
skilled tinmakers in the city, as Mr..
Nledringhsus had obtained permission to
import some from Walss on the strength
of there being none there.
Acting upon these instructions Mr.
witte has found out that there
are skilled tin makers in St
Louis and will report how many
there are. This is not the only
exposure that has been made Of the sham,
pretense. and fraud, OF this man Med
ringhaus, the Member Of Congress who
was there with speculation in his eye,
whose votes and lobbying assisted in this
tin plate swindle for the purpose Of fill
ing his own pockets. The same man
who wept over the woes Of the working
men as a Member Of Congress in Wash
ington, broke his contract with the
Amalgamated Iron and Steel Workers, as
boss Of rolling mill in st. Louis
the same man who sat as member Of Con
gress and proposed to have tin plate
factory in operation in st. Louis by July
/, employing hundreds OF idle men al
good wages, has bought many ear load

Richmond Times.
II is rather surprising that a man who
has been brought under the highly civil
LIKING influence OF intimate association
with Colonel Bob Ingersoll should allow
himself to become involved in one Of
those brawls which the colonel has so
often said were characteristic only of the
barbarous South. His private secretary
was shot In fierce personal alteration
in Westchester county, N. Y, on Satur-
day, and the evidence shows that he drew
the pistol upon his antagonist first.
In other words, he was in the habit OF
carrying concealed weapons about with
him. habit which the colonel has 30
often condemned in the ferosious
Southerners. When the closest com
panion of Ingersoll goes about with
loaded pistols on his person we are dis
posed to infer that the colonel has over
looked the bsrbsrities that exist direct y
under his eyes to attack those which
have only a Fictitious existence else
where. Let him begin his reform al
