Martin Van Buren, Spencer is the Pension
Agent or the State of Indiana. Not long ago
he took occasion TO discharge lady clerk, the
daughter Of an Indiana veteran, and appoint
his own sister in her place. The appointment
created good deal Of adverse criticism, and
finally Secretary Smith sent word to Mr. Spen-
Ger that he must revoke it, the rule of the
Department being that no Pension Agent could
Gppoint a relative to Office. Upon receipt of
this information Dir. Spencer came 10 Washing
ton. aud in company with Senators Voorhees,
and Iurp!e and the member from his district
BIZ. AcNangy, called upon Secretary Smith.
The latter would no; yield an inch in his deter
mination, and read Mr. Spencer quite lecture
on the evils of nePotism. In the course of the
conversation it appeared that the order of the
Department was due to the fact that the PEN
sion Agent in New York, and as well as the
Pension Agent in this city, had provided places
for relatives, and the Secretary thought that
the practice, instead Of being allowed to grow,
might as well be nipped In the bud.

DIR. Wilbur F. w. Worth of Manton has
reported to the Johnston police that
shortly after midnight Sunday morning,
HI was held up In the woods near the
"Old stone church." by three armed men
who robbed him of his watch and $500.
The doctor had returned from Boston
on the midnight express and had hardly
reached his house when a messenger asked
him to come Immediately and attend a
patient near the church. 1t was while on
his way to the place that he was stopped
by the alleged messenger and two other
men. DIR. Worth had brought the money
with him from Boston, and 1t is supposed
that the robbers had followed him from
that place. He could give no description
OF either OF them and there is "no clue"
During the scufie which took place In the
woods, the doctor received a slight bullet
wound in his foot.

NATURAL HISTORY.


The strongest argument In favor OF evo-
luton In formed in the remarkable simii-
Gritty existing between man and some AMI
mails. The busy bee, for instapce, reminds
us of the young man with q purpose In lie
who puts something In the bank every
week no matter now .nh %a nsacocs
suggests that other young man without
purpose who never sees the inside OF Q
bank except when 90 a last resort he goes
in to get a note discounted and the snail
at once brings to mind Q Governor street
car. But more obvious than all there
Is the obvious analogy
as is In vogue In Providence inc the nap-
its OF the musca harpyia or common house
fly and the culicidal or mosquito taken
conformity. The similarity come on
division OF labor. The police force y d.
and the mosquito and fy work Il
In the same way. From dark until day
light the mosquito IL On duty and from
daylight till dark the vigilance Ia kept up
by the fly. In the summer months most
everyone stays awake in the early morn
ing to feel the relief come on without re-
lief and watch the mosquitoes 90 on In
squads, as wild geese fly to the northward.
Even I'm the minor points b similarity
holds good. There are occasionally extra
details on very hot days in the vicinity OF
hammocks, when the night birds do day
work and double up with the fiies on their
beats, and in some restaurants the ny
squad Is on duty night and day
the year round. Another point 10 In the
equipment. Any one who Is b least
observant will notice that the stick OF q
night policeman Is twice a. long ~ the
little rosewood billy carried by q day man,
and so the bill of the mosquito 10 twice ~
long as the irrigation plant OF a fly. The
wood billy was derived from bill.
And the best point Is on the score OF
fa~ithfulness. Nothing can beat these
natural police for eternal vigilance. Mar

ciate nature in all her buEzing, biting de-
tails may attack them with wet towels on

Hope Lodge, !. o. 0. F., Listens To
an Anniversary Sermon.

Hope Lodge, /. o. o. f., commenced the
solicitation OF it's 5Oth anniversary by at
tending DIR. Riggs forenoon services at
the Church of the Mediator. This even
ing there is to be a banquet and ball ut the
Trocadero.
Rev. DIR. Henry w. Rugg preached the
anniversary sermon, taking hts text from
brotherhood, fear God, honor the King"
As q preliminary To his sermon the preacher
made q short congratulatory address OF
welcome, In which he stated that he was
glad to have the members In his church
and to speak to them from the pulpit be-
cause he believed That the order to which
they belonged Is compatible with loyalty
IN patriotism, Christian duty and wor-
ship.
He interpreted that command of the
the text, "Honor the King" as meaning
that we should pay respect to constituted
law and authority, that man is to be
pitied who has not within him a feeling
of acknowledgment aud accountability
TO something outside and beyond himself.
The sense of word "honor" in honor
all men" is that of esteem or respect.
Who was there with whom the Lord Jesus
come In contact in this world from whom
he turned away with contempt?.
DR.. Rugg made the remainder OF his
text more personal. "Lov the brother-
hood.n That means the family, the COM
munity, the order of Odd Fellows, or any
other organization for which we are work
ing and to whose service we have given
ourselves. In Odd Fellowship, with its
principals consonant with Christianity,
there Is an opportunity to do something
TO make the world more brotherly. The
things hat make for the welfare OF q COM
munity are benefited by the existence
and work Of such an organization.
