A HORSE WITH A HISTORY.

The General superintendent of the Life Saw
ing Service in Washington received last week
intelligence Of the death of old Neptune. n
horse that has quite remarkable history. He
was the first horse purchased by the Govern
ment for the Life Saving Service, and for 20
years past, regardless of wind weather, he
faithfully performed the duty Of carrying the
midnight patrol at the Assateague Beach Sta
ton to the limits OF his post, distance OF 13t
miles. He learned the limits of his beat so
well that, however dark or stormy the night,
he knew at once when he reached there, and
no amount Of persuasion would cause him to
go farther. At the time Of his purchase he was
beautiful iron-gray, bnt the haroiships OF the
beach and advanced age turned him snow
white. Old Neptune on numerous occasions
rendered valuable assistance in saving life.
He knew his duties 80 perfectly that he was
regarded as = most important adjunct to the
crew. The men became very much attached
to him, and gave him an honorable burial on
High Hill, Va, within sight of the beaten
track whereon be had passed the best part of
his life

THE NEW TREATY WITH SPAIN.

Tho last official action upon the new COM
mercial treaty between the Spanish Govern
ment and the United States has been taken,
and the treaty is now ready to go into opera
ton. This result was attained only after much
labor by the officers of the Department of
State aud great deal of correspondence with
the Spanish representatives. Tho treaty was
duly promulgated and was announced to take
effect July I, last. But there were some prac-
teal difficulties in the way. The tariff sehed-
ules of the treaty were in the usual form and
were general in their terms. For instance, it
was debatable question whether the general
schedule machinery" included such articles
as sewing machines. Therefore a repertoire -
that is, list classifying all known articles en-
titled to special privileges under the different
general schedules-wss completed last week,
and on Monday. Oct II. was formally signed
by Secretary Foster and the Spanish Minister.
The news from Madrid that the arrangement
is considered favorable TO Spain is received
with satisfaction at the State Department, as
no question has been raised of its beneficial
influence upon United States industries. Being
acceptable to both parties, long life seems
likely for the new treaty.

Says He Has Nothing to do with any Politi-
cal or Religious Pamphlet.
Statements were recently sent from Wash
ington to the New York Times, which charge
that Indian Commissioner Morgan, with the
assistance Of Rev. Mr.. Dorchester, had turned
the Indian Bureau into reservoir Of Republic
can transformation. He spends his days."
says the article, referring TO Gen. Morgan, in
giving ont Is page pamphlet. which is con-
gomeration of politics and religion, designed
TO assist President Harrison, Secretary Noble,
and Commissioner Morgan"
The pamphlet referred to is issued by the
American Patriotic League. Commissioner
Morgan bad absolutely no knowledge whatever
of the pamphlet until he saw it in print, and
he has had nothing to do with it's circulation.
On Oct. II, when he is reported to have turned
his office into political machine, he was alb
sent OF official duties visiting Indian Rsserva-
tions and schools and attending the Lake
Mohonk Indian Conference, AID had not been
in his Office for five weeks. He returned to his
post Tuesday, Oct. 18. Superintendent Dor
chester is absent in Montana engaged in the
official inspection Of schools. and Commissioner
Morgan has had no communication with him
whatever for the last five weeks.
The statement that when Father Stephan
came to Washington a shor. time ago Commits
sioner Morgan absolutely refused to see him II
unqualifedly false. Father Stephan has never
visited the Indian Office since the present Com
missioner was appointed, and is not personally
known even by sight to the Commissioner.

1r1sAMooTEp QUESTION.
Can Officers on the Retired List of the Army
Hold Other Positions.

Gen. Daniel f. Sickles and Gen. Isaac 8. Cat
lin, of New York, were recently nominated by
the Democrats of New York City and Brook
lyn respectively for congressman. Gen.
Catlin Immediately declined to accept the
nomination, stating that he did so because his
acceptance would require him to resign his
Colonelcy on the Retired List of the Army.
Gen. Sickes accepted the nomination, or at
least he has not yet declined. and was at the
Convention which nominated him.
Inquiry at the Department of Justice failed
to show that the Attorney General had render
ed decision upon this subject, but Mr.. Al
drich, of the Department of Justice, who was
interviewed regarding the question. stated that
without special Investigation Of the matter, he
was of the opinion that retired Army officer
is ineligible to Congress Article /, Section s.,
Of the Constitution of the United States, says:
No person holding any Office under the
United States shall be a member OF either
House during his continuance in Office"
A retired Army officer is sn officer Of the
Government. and is subject to orders as much
rs is an officer on the Active List, and he is as
much an ofiiceholder after retirement as while
in active service. The constitutional 1imita-
ton that no man can hold two offices of trust
and profit under the Government, it seems,
should prevail in reference to all such cases.
Yet Gen. w. g. Rosecrans has been Brigadier-
General on the Retired List since February,
1885, and at the same time has held the office

GEN. scHoFIELp,s ANNUAL REPORT.

The annual report of Gen. J. NJ. Scho6eld,
commanding the Army of the United States,
was submitted to the Secretary of War last
week, and contains . number OF important
recommendations. Regarding the necessity of
military education the General says that tho
detail provided by law of = large number Of
officers as instructors in colleges and schools
throughout the country has already produced
very manifest and marked results. Nearly
overy public parade now witnessed has for its
most interesting feature the march Of long col.
umns of young school boys whose military
bearing would do honor TO the best-disciplned
old soldiers More important, perhaps. than
all else the organized militia OF many Of the
States. or National Guards. mostly under the
instruction and command of officers who gained
their military education in the late war, have
become far better disciplined and more reliable
than any similar organization before existing
in this country. Such standard OF excellence
once established by the rough experience OF
war. and transmitted by the survivors to
younger men, as has now been done. can easily
be maintained in succeeding generations"

Once Refused, but Finally Admitted to the

In the Autumn Of 1863, Mrs. Belva A. Look
wood once . candidate for the Presidency on
the Woman Suffrage ticket but at that time
q member of the bar OF the District of Column
bia for We years and in good standing, having
come business to transact requiring litigation
In Prince Georges County, Nd, applied to
Judge Magruder, sitting on the bench at MARI
boro, the shire town of that County, for
admission to the bar, under the rule of comfy
for the admission of attorneys in the District
and in Maryland.
Judge Magruder not only refused to admit
her, notwithstanding her record as an attor-
ney and the eminent plea of her counsel, but
went little outside of his judicial duty to
make speech to the bar in general, and Mrs.
Lock wood in particular, in which he said
among other things, as he grew eloquent:
The seas have their bounds and the eternal
hills, and the sphere of "a woman is at home with
her husband and chileren," and closed his pero-
ration with these memorable words " / pray
God that the day will never come when the
women of Maryland will be admitted to the
bar"
On Tuesday, Oct. H. 1892, Mrs. Lockwood
again had occasion TO visit Marlboro Court
house In professional way, and this time ap-
piled to Judge Brooke, who had succeeded
Judge Magrnder on that bench, her admission
being moved by j. 3. Contne, esq, of that bar,
and the lady was promptly admitted. Judge
Brooke declaring that he could not refuse her,
as her papers showed admission to the bar in
Frederick County. Md. in March, 1881.
Mrs. Lock wood proposes to take up the case
she was compelled by Judge Magruder to drop
at that time.
