Christmas ior Poor Children.

The young ladies Of the Non Part,san
"Y's" furnished for nearly 100 Door chill
dren, yesterday, bounteous dinner and
q Christmas tree covered with nrettv
presents. all Of which the little ones from
the homes not provided with an with an
extensive supply of the neccssar;es Of
life seemed to appreciate. To see these
little folks gather around the dinner
tables and partake Of the nicely prepared
foods was most interesting SIGHT and
it must have been striking revelation ia
them. The menu consisted Of turkey
chicken with dressing, mashed potatoes.
squash, celery, doughnuts, cookies, can
dies oranges, milk, pies, mince, apple
and squash, and other good things.
Upon the Christmas tree were MANY
presents of which these poor children can
make good use, such as clothing, etc.
and besides these they had large supplv
of candies and other nice things. From
the 100 letters which this society sent out
requesting financial assistance came s45
in return. The young ladies deserve a
great amount of praise for their kindness
in furnishing for these poor children so
ioyous time.

"coFFEe COOLERS
Major c. J. House Has Something to Say
About This Strange Term.
Editors of the Kennebec Journal :

Editors of the Kennebec Journal:
Noticing in Saturdays issue, among the
remarks of Hon. Seth L. Milliken, the
quotation "camp followers and coffee
coolers" as used by certain persons un-
friendly to pension legislation beg space
in your valuable columns to speak of
these classes, particularly the latter
just what is meant by the term "camp
followers" by these maligners of the
Union soldier, do not really know;
whether the delegates of the sanitary or
the Christian commissions who followed
us with their ministrations of love and
mercy, or that other class who followed
us for gain. But as neither were soldiers
and neither are asking for pensions it
may be they refer to the teamsters who
followed us, bringing up hard tack, coffee
and cartridges. But when speaking of
"coffee coolers am sin it," l served
in company which had on its rolls 1856
men, and of these, first and last, fifteen
were 'coffee coolers" Now Just what
is coffee cooler? Simply cook. The
suppositiOn is that the cooking will be
done back out of harms way, and by the
time the cook reaches the men, owing to
the distance, the coffee has become cold !;
hence 'coffee cooler" Out of the above
fifteen "coffee coolers five were killed
in action, six We're wounded, and one
taken prisoner, who died in Anderson
vile, leaving but three unhurt, making 40
per cent. who lost their lives either on the
battle field or in prison, 40 per cent.
wounded, and but 20 per cent. who escaped
unhurt. When it can be shown that any
squad or company of "good soldiers" as
one puts it in distinction from ''coffee
coolers, can show greater sacrifice for
their country, it will be time enough to
use the term in derision, or to refuse a
man pension simply because he chanced
to stir little dough while in the army.

in the Journal press room has been that
Of Mr.. d. L. Allen. A few mornings since
there was a cloud on it, so unusual
thing that all noticed, as if he were griev-
ing for an old friend, and indeed he was.
The old friend stood waiting in an out
of-the- way corner for the team to come
and take him away. He looked detected,
his hat had almost disreputablc tilt to
one side, his jacket was worn threadDare
in places , indeed there were holes that
admitted the wind and the general worn
out appearance indicated that his days
of usefulness were practically past ana
he seemed to appreciate the fact. How
ever, he was to be taken away where ne
hoped to earn his keeping. Twas SAD

f. L. Webber, the wide awake grocer,
speaking of molasses to a Journal man,
said that he clipped the following from a
newspaper and sanctions all the statements
made;
eft is undoubtedly true, as the makers
say that they have to bleach molasses
with sulphate of zinc in order to sell it.
This illustrates the extreme difficulty of
dealing with food dulteration, the public
cares very little about being protected.
The more attractive appearance of bleached
molasses will lead people to buy it even
if they know that it has been bleached
by chemicals which may be injurious
This shows that people who are hum
bugged by their own preference for the
looks of the thing rather than for the
quality of the thing, should reform them
selves before instituting movement
against adulterated foods. This habit of
preferring beauty that is not utility to
utility that is beauty, is the sense of
aesthetics overworked AS soon as we be-
gin to eat arsenic for the complexion or
sulphate of zinc to please our eyes in mo
lasses, we are really dying in the love OF
humbug."

JORDAN'S PITIFUL PLEA.
Please Do Not Draw Upon the
Gold Reserve.
BANK PRESIDENTS KNOW BEST
They Will Pay for the New Bonds
With Gold From the
Treasury.

NEW YORK. Feb. assistant Treas
urer Conrad n. Jordan called this morning
on some OF the banks which bid for bonds
and endeavored to show them that they
could as well spare the necessary gold to
pay for the bonds purchased by them
selves. as we'll as for the bonds purchased
by customers OF theirs. and that therefore
1t would not, or at any rate should not. be
necessary for those customers to draw gold
first from the sub-treasury on green backs
10 pay for their bonds. The bank presi-
dents. however, considered that they were
better informed than Jordan as to how
much of their gold they could spare. This
afternoon Jordan said that he thought
that about $50. 600, 600 of the bonds de-
livered in this city would be actually paid
for in gold. The balance would practically
be paid for in greenbacks, the gold for
which would be constructively paid out
and redeposited on account of bond pur-
chases.
Seven million dollars iD gold and a small
amount in legal tenders have been depos-
tied in the sub-treasury here against pur-
chases of the new Government bonds. A

THE INDIANS LOOTED HIS CAMP

Tucson. Ariz.. Feb. 2.-Last night news
came in from Mammoth, sixty miles north
east of here, that the Indians are on the
warpath. Wednesday afternoon Clark,
prospector, while at work in the Bunker
Hill district, was attacked by four Indians.
Clark is an old Indian scout and knows
the country and the Indians. lie easily
evaded his assailants. Clark at once
started for Mammoth. twelve miles away,
for re-enforcements.
Coming in he found the camp Of VIII
liam Emerson. another prOspectOr, looted
clean of valuables and food. Emerson was
not found and Clark believes him killed.
Clark aroused the camp at Mammoth and
was soon al the head of a party Of men,
bent on capturing the Indians Yesterday
morning second party followed them.
About twenty men are now on the trail of
the Indians and their capture is expected.
Clark Is of the opinion the party is
either Kid and his gang or general
outbreak Of Apaches from the reservation.
Neither event would surprise him. He
says the scene of the supposed killing of
Emerson is where Kids party killed
John Diehl six years ago. On receipt Of
the news In Tucson word was telegraphed
by Marshal Meade to Fort Grants with a
request that troops be sent there. The re-
quest will doubtless be complied with.
