The Axe of Fire.

From the town OF Whiting in northwest
ern Indiana comes the account OF an APP
pearance or phantasm which was seen or
seemed to DO seen by many frightened
Hoosiers last Friday night:
"A sword OF IRE seemed to hang almost over the
town. the night was cloudy and tho snow hyiug. and
tho appnrition caused the utmost alarm among the
superstiously inclined. Al times 1t reached from the
horizon almost to the zenith. and at others recedsd
until 1t seemed TO be comet about thirty degrees
above the horizon Tho fire companies OF two neigh.
boring supposed the Light to DO con nagraion"
Our private advices from Indiana inform
us that the phenomena In question was
seen in all parts OF the State. and looked
like fre-drake. a meteor. n flaming sword.
according to the eyes OF the different OBJ
servers or their composure In the presence
OF what appeared to be and indeed was
portent boding some strange eruption to
tho State. There was no real reason for
alarm. however. save to tho Republican
Federal ofilceholders. A veteran Jacksonian
in Lake county writes us as follows:

What Have Honest Pensioners to Fear;

This remark by the Springfield Union is
n fair specimen OF the way In which certain
Republican newspapers are trying to dodge
the pension question:
1.-The Democrats appear to be greatly Impressed with
Tar srxs ont tho number OF pensioners ex
ceeds the maximum number OF soldiers III ACTIVE set
vice at any time during the war II that be fSct IL
proves nothing against tho tension system. NO tar'
minded man will consider such All argument AsA'n''
pensions. What we want is facts
What we want to get is facts. The way
for Congress to get tho facts we want Is to
institute. as a preliminary to comprehen-
sive reform. n searching and Impartial In
vestiyaton OF the existing pension list In
few representative localities; let US say IN
Springfield. Mass. for one.
While 1t would be physically impossible to
overhaul the entire pension list OF nearly
million names in time to stop the ruinous
outgo from the Treasury, few thorough
examinations. here and there IN Inn
tied fields. will show approximately what
proportion OF the pension expenditure Is
legitimate and proper. and what proportion
is waste OF the public money and robbery OF
the taxpayers.
What has any worthy pensioner to fear
from such an examination Why this howl
all along the line about injustice to the
old soldier?
Valuable. also. Is Mr.. BAYARD's sugges-
ton that the Pension Ofloe be compelled to
have the lists OF pensioners published IN
each neghborhood. so that each neighbour
hood can SEQ who is properly or improperly
drawing money from the Government.
What has any honest veteran and worthy
pensioncr to fear from the publication to
his neighbors of his name in such n list?

W. +. West, manager Of w. J..
Chamberlain & Co.'s sampling works
at Carlin, informs us that he can quote
the miners OF Central Nevada the
highest market prices and give
quicker returns than any other ore
buying establishment, and in support
Of this statement he advances the
following reasons:
First-Carlin is the nearest market
and consequently the miner can be in
possession Of returns and sacks from
his consignment before ore consigned
at the same time q arrive in San
Francisco.
Second-Ore shipped long distances
10 smelling works are beyond the re-
call OF their owners, while ore shipped
TO the Carlin Sampling Works is held
subject to the miners orders until q
satisfactory settlement is made.
Third-The Csrlin sampler pays the
full market prices for lead ores, and
always has paid higher prices for dry
ores than n other establishment on
the Pacific Coast. w. j. Chamber.
lain & Co., the owners Of the Carlin
Sampling Works, are permanently es-
tablished in Nevada, and are at all
times prepared to verify the above
statements. Correspondence and con-
signments Of ore will receive prompt

Lesson fa Temperance,

Corbett was successful in his fierce
contest with Sullivan not alone be-
cause he is the most scientific fighter
in the world, unless Peter Jackson be
accepted, nor because he had the
advantage Of youth, hight and length
Of arm, though all these contributed
to his victory, but because for ten
years or more Sullivan has given him.
self up to an almost continuous round
of dissipation, not only in eating but
in every other way.
Sullivan's trainers, skilled in their
profession, we're able to reduce his
weight and to build up and harden his
muscles, but they could not repair the
damage he had done to that most sem
sitive Of all the great organs, the
stomach. They could harden the
stomach on the outside, but they
could not put new and healthy tissue
on the inside. Corbett knew this, as
will be judged from the persistency
with which he landed blow after blow
on his a~dversary's stomach. The
blows in the face dszed Sullivan and
angered him, but the blows that de-
feated him were those on the stom-
ach.
There is a great lesson in temper
ance in this incident to those who will
study it. Not prohibition, for prohi-
bition is not temperance, but temper.
ance in its true sense, that Of eating
and drinking in moderation. There ID
no satisfactory evidence to show thai
except in occasional cases the use oil
mild alcoholic stimulants in modera-
ton is harmful, and il has been said,
with much truth, that eating kills
more people than drinking. John L.
Sullivan has both eaten and drunk 10
excess for a number of years, and
now, when he needs every particle OF
energy and nerve force he yer had,
he fails to respond. Sullivan has been
a strong man, but no man is strong
enough to wage q ten years battle
with John Barleycorn.-S. +. Post.
