marks last illness has left permanent
marks upon him, land it is doubtful if he
will ever recover his usual health and
strength. His progress towards re-
covery has been again retarded by the
entire failure of his appetite. He will
now scarcely touch food. The reports
that he had suffered an attack OF pa
ralysis are borne out by the fact that
his right hand is apparently COM
pletely useless.

FROM THE official report of the COM
missioner of pensions, just issued, it is
learned that at the expiration of the
last fiscal year, more than twenty-eight
wears after the close of the war between
the States, there were no less than $685.
Oh, nearly million, of pensioners, and
that during that year the enormous
sum of S156, ,467.l4 was paid to
them, and that among them were over
four thousand who had returned to
their foreign homes after the war and
still live there. So that the people OF
the country, South and North alike,
are vet taxed to pay pensions to four
hundred thousand more men than were
in all the armies Of the Confederate
States during the whole period of the
war. and that more than composed
some of the Confederate divisions yet
remain of the vast horde who came
from abroad for bounty and re.
turned to their homes at the close Of
the war. No wonder the Confederacy
won imperishable glory.

AT A public meeting of negroes in
Brooklyn last week to protest against
the removal of a woman of their race
from the superintendency of mixed
school, the speaker who received the
most applause was the one who said,
consolidated schools are a hollow
mockery if the time be not come when
a colored woman can teach white chill
dren." He was right. But that is a
great deal more than can be said of the
white people of Brooklyn who provide
for mixed schools and who send their
children to them.

Mr.. EDGERroN, who was once q
member of the civil service commission,
now says that that commission, which,
though one-seventh of the entire term
of the present democratic administra-
ton has expired, is still composed Of
two pronounced republicans and one
conservative democrat, is delusion
and snare, or words to that effect. 1t
is even worse. 1t is q gross and gro
tesque and transparent humbug, which
is paid S36, 400 year for no other appar-
emit purpose than to keep partisan repub-
leans in, and to exclude democrats from
federal offices. After repeating the
Mckinley bill and the federal election
law, the next thing the democratic
Congress ought to do would be to abol-
ish the commission referred to.

Miss pollard,s Whereabouts.

Miss Madeline Vinton Pollard, the
plaintiff in the Breckinridge-Pollard
damage suit. is at present resident Of
one of the Episcopal homes for women
in Washington. Since the damage suit
against Representative Breckenridge
she has been forced to leave her former
boarding place, and six weeks ago she
made application to be received into
the home.
Miss Pollard did not enter the home
under her own name, and even now
none but the officers of the institution
and few others are aware of her real
identity. She is not on exactly the same
footing as the regular residents of the
home, being given liberty of the street
and house as we'll. She seldom goes
out, however, and then only to see her
lawyers, and receives 10 visitors except
by special written permission from her
attorneys.
The time her stay in the home has
not been definitely decided, but it is
supposed that she will remain where
she is for a considerable time to come.
In an interview recently Miss Pollard
said her family had entirely renowned
her. She discussed the matter calmly,
as she did every other phase of the I'M
pleasant affair in which she is so prom
inent a figure.
"Revengew she repeated, when ask
ed if that had been her purpose in max
ing her troubles public "Not at all; |
have no such feeling. | thought it I'M
just that / should bear all the burden
alone. What alternative had /? Col.
Breckinridge's denial of ourengagement
were made in so pointed a manner-a
manner that reflected so severely upon
me-that had no choice but to tell the
whole truth. There was something SO
strange about his treatment of me. Al
) o'clock on the day of his marriage ]
received a letter from him, a letter full
of tenderness and affection | don't at
tempt to account for it. 1t is inexpli-
cable"
Miss Pollard has no expectation Of
becoming II religeuse. She confessed
this with an air of sadness that would
have won the sympathy of even those
who most condemn her. II can't be-
come a member Of any order. There
is no room in such organizations for
such as l. Moreover, | am not Chris
tian in the strict sense of the word. !
can't accept the divinity of Christ, but
think am growing more in sympathy
with His life and teachings. want to
regard Him as something more than q
great and good man. l hope in time !
may call myself Christian in the full
est sense"
Miss Pollards plans for the future
are undecided, so far as her residence is
concerned. 1t will not be in Washing
ton, however, and she herself is not
certain in what city she will locate. In
her conversation yesterday she made
but few references to Col. Breckin-
ridge, and these were mainly incident
al. When asked what she thought of
the defense put forth by Col. Breckin-
ridge her face for the first time during
the interview frightened with smile.
Il could have made" she said with
demure air, "a better defence for him
myself"

WHILE every right thinking man
must condemn Mr.. BreclIinridge for n.y.
pocrisy, the fact that his accuser has
publicly and without necessity taken
up her abode in home for fallen wo-
men, should be enough of itself alone
to deter any right thinking jury from
awarding her pecuniary damages.

HOUSE.


The attendance in the House this
morning was small; and the Speaker
directed the clerk to call committees for
reports but none were submitted.
The debate On the federal election
repeal bill was resumed, and the House
was addressed by Mr.. Dinsmore, in
support of the measure. He denounced
the laws as improper, unauthorized,
unjust, unwise and wrong. They
stood as an obstruction to the carrying
out of the wishes of the people. He e1-
pected to see the pledges of the demo-
cratic party on this question redeemed.
Such a course was vital to the interests Of
the government and the happiness of
the people. The people had thrust the
democratic party into power in order
to enable it to repeal those laws which
had been put into force by the republic
cans. 1t had been said by the gentle
man from Ohio, (Mr. Grosvenor) that
the republicans had been appealed to
in order to help the administration in
the repeal of the Sherman law and he
had intimated that if the federal cleo
ton bill was called up, there might be
a falling off in republican support.
There were some members on the dem
ocratic side for whom that threat Lad
no terrors.
Mr.. benson followed in a speech of
similar tenor in which he denounced

at one time stationed at keys almost
1000 miles apart, yet on the same line,
In the far west. They began talking"
over the wires. The groom, mistaking
his future. bride for man, was allowed
by her to believe such was the case.
Some of his remarks were for male ears
only, but he always got q reply. Final
ly "one hot day. Bob called up ''X" and
said: "What do you say to trip in the
mountains trout fishing? Imagine wad-

this"
IT would like to CO." came back the
reply, 'but have no rubber boots"
"Oh, neither have /. That shouldn't
worry you. All you have to do is roll
up your trousers and wade in"
For some reason "X" did not reply,
and the friendship was broken. On his
way to the mountains Bob stopped over
at '.X's" station. In the telegraph room
he found a pretty, blue eyed girl. about
