AS THE negroes are ignorant and
illiterate, the pension sharks have found
little or no difficulty in inducing them
to become partners in their frauds upon
the Treasury. 1t has now been dis
covered that large number of the ne
gro pensions paid at Raleigh, like
those recently revealed at Norfolk, are
fraudulent. The pension agents are
more to blame for such frauds than
their poor dupes, who divide the swag
with them.

Rockbridge Alum Springs, Virginia.
Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette
Pleasure this season at the Rock
Alum requires no seeking. 1t springs
up at every point and cynicism more
invulnerable than that of Diogones
would be unable to resist its multifari-
Gus attacks. The evening german,
however, is, as is usually the case, the
most popular amusement in vogue,
though progressive euchre parties are
not without their advocates at the
Alum. The german last night was led
bv Mr.. James l.. Hudam, of Mississippi,
with Miss Matthews, of Louisiana, and
Mr.. Reuben Haywood, of Washington,
with Miss Janet Summerson, OF Staun-
ton. 1t was even more eminently
pleasant than usual. The devotees of
Terpsichore gathered in the spacious
dancing hall at the Grand Hotel at ten
o'clock ard TIE may figures of the
dance were unremittant until the small
hours of morning were Ginning from
neighbOring timepieces.
Among the prominent guests who
have arrived recently may be mention
ed General Charles f. Hooker, of Mis-
sisslppi, and Mr.. c. Z. Doyle, general

Mr.. JOHNSON, the new chief of the
bureau of printing and engraving ofthe
Treasury, says he recognizes the right
of an executive officer to make removals
for the good of the service, and that
in filling vacancies he will always
favor his own party. Mr.. Johnson is a
democrat. and in what he says in re-
spect of the matter referred to, he only
voices the feeling of every other good
and true democrat; and the party to
which he belongs would get along
much better if all the other democratic
executive officers would act as he talks.

THE PHILADELPHIA Record says if
the Sherman silver act be speedily re-
pealed Congress should Immediately
adjourn till the regular. session in De-
cember." fit should do so, the exist
ing unjust and burdensome tariff bill
could not possibly be repealed and a
better one be put in operation and test
ed before the next Congressional cleo
ton, and as the voters would therefore
believe that they have been grossly and
deliberately deceived, they would be the
more readily induced to support, no.
the high tariff republicans but the low
tariff populists, at that election. Some
democrats last fall prophesied de-
crease iii the party;s strength from
lack of force to execute party principles
and policy. 1t is hoped their prophe-
sizes NAV not he fulfilled.

THE RIGHT OF SELF DEFENsE--The
Supreme Court of Georgia has rendered
decision in a manslaughter case to
the effect that, if husband, knowing
or suspecting his wife's criminal inf
deity, lays trap for her paramount for
the purpose of killing him, in case he
should be caught in his guilt, the para
mour has right to defend himself
against deadly assault made by the
husband, even though surprised at the
moment of his criminality. The court
declares the killing Of the husband I'M
der those conditions justifable. The
facts in the case before the court,
upon which the decision was made,
were these
Frank c. Wilkerson was clerk in
the employ of C. F. Stevens, at Living
ston, Floyd county. Stevens suspected
his clerk of undue intimacy with Mrs.
Stevens, and laid trap to catch him.
He told Wilkerson and Mrs. Stevens
that he was going away, but, instead of
doing so, concealed himself. Biding
his time, the husband came upon the
pair and, drawing his revolver, tried to
open fire upon the clerk. Mrs. Stevens
threw hcselfin front of Wilkerson to
protect him, and he was thus enabled
to shoot her husband, which he did,
killing him.
WIlkersou was tried and convicted of volun-
tary manslaughter, but by the decision of the
Supreme CONT that judgment is reversed and
Wilkerson set free.
Reports from Livingston state that the de-
cision Of the Supreme Court has been received
with indignation in Floyd county. where
Stevens was prominent citizen. Wilkcrson
was country boy whom he had adopted and

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS was the
twenty-ninth anniversary of the battle
of "The Crater" one of the most mem
orable engagements of the late war.
There were about 5000 pounds of pow
der in the mine beneath the Confeder-
ate salient, and the heavy explosion in
the early hour of the morning shook
the buildings and startled the people
in Petersburg. History has told the
story of this battle so wildly that all
know it. The "Crater" caused by the
explosion still exists-not altogether in
its original shape-and is still an object
of great interest to visitors.

THE RECENT disorderly scene in the
British House Of Commons, like similar

innate result Of the extension of the
privilege of suffrage Representative
governments, representatives always
fairly represent the majority of their

ASTRONOMY AND AsrRoLoox
The Science Of Medicine and the supersll-
iions OF ALCHEMY

Hons OF MohemE
The astrologer Of bygone ages taught
the people that their diseased were due
10 some influence emanating from the
stars or other heavenly bodies. The
courses Of the stars were supposed to
govern the physical and historical des-
TIMES Of m0nldnd. Not only were they
mistaken as 10 tie cause of disease. but
their ideas of cure were equally absurd.
The poor. beguiled patient whose disease
was supposed TO be under the malignant
sway OF some celestial body, was either
turned over 10 the saving power of the
grotesque mixtures of the ulchemist. or
given up at once TO die And yet these
superstitions, as strange as they sound
to this enlightened generation, like most
otEer supersntions, had their origin in
partial truth.
There Is most intimate connection
between the conditions Of health of the in
habitants of our planet and IL Astronomi-
cal cycle through which it passes every
year, During the winter season the NORTH
pole OF the earth has been tilted from the
sun. which allows only the slanting rays
of the sun 10 fail upon that portion Of the
earths surface I'm whicls the United
States are included. This affects the
health OF the people by exciting that class
of disorders peculiar TO winter. As
spring approaches the north pole giadully
becomes more and more tilted towards the
nuiif NhlAh lAAAk1 AAsN nhAA liNAA hAAN'AlA
overhead. The rays becoming more per-
pendicular are highly charged with cleo
trical power. This new relation between
the earth and the sun produces another
class of physical disorders peculiar TO
spring. Tie symptoms are quite unlike
In different cases, but the most common
ones are general lassitude, played-Out
