The Pensions High Water Mark.
From the Atlanta Journal Dem.l.

The New Orleans Times-Democrat says
the pension appropriation "still stands
at the high-water mark OF $1N,OOO,OOO."
Why, bless your soul, it has been $4,000
900 above that and Grover Cleveland is
the man who cut il down to the present
figures by purging the pension list of
bounty jumpers and dead beats. He
would have carried the good work still
further If congress had not stood in the
way.

Gen. Bradley johnson advises young
men not TO go TO Cuba and join the in

advancement, the life is extremely hard,
and the insurgents really do not need

Rifles and medicines are the principle

An Town Muse.

unnecessary to remark, is the poet lau-
reate OF South Carolina, whose Pegasus
we have several times patted on the back
in admiration. Up to this time Gooch
has reveled in the sole ownership of
poetic style that was "all his own" &C
cording to his persistent and proud as
severations; and there has been none to
dispute his claim. 1t transpires, however
that the Chicago Times-Herald has let
down the bars for the Pegasus one James
Ballard, Of Red Oak postofice. state of
Iowa, to enter the Gooch preserves and
browse upon the richness therein.
Mr. Ballard writes to the Times-Herald
that he is a poet, and submits several
exhibits to substantiate his allegation.
What for convenience may be called Ex-
hibit A, has to do with the city of Chi
cago. 1t begins this way:
Chicago Geographicly,
Is the best Site in creation; liz
She sits, like a queen in chair,
In the lap of our nation;
And for her support,
She has good strong legs;
Made out of Iron,
Not wooden Pegs.
cago feet, it is gratifying to read the
poets assurance that the Chicago under
pinning is of sufficient strength to bear
the burden. AT the same time, it must
be admitted that it Is rather hard upon
the nation to have to hold Chicago and
her freak legs in her lap; especially when
it is learned that she has a lot of them,
and persists in stretching them in all d.
rections:
The legs are stretched out,
In different directions;
And well braced together,
With iron connections;
And some of the center legs,
Extends to the gulph.
How beautiful the figure, and how
strong! Chicago sitting in the lap of the
nation, with her back against Lake Mich.
igan, stretching some of her center legs,
the length of the country and bathing
her toes in the "gulphp' The poet is so
much pleased with his fancy that he ex-
claims:
Whoever wrote thus,
Beside myself
Nobody; nobody could do it, except Gooch,
before lie tackles Chicago. Having got
his idea into shape. the Iowa poet goes
on to elaborate how the rich soil "curls''
around Chicago, which may be thought
somewhat suggestive, and how her back
is braced with copper Not a word, how.
ever is said about brass cheek Hav-
ing compiled five stanzas on the plan of
the above. the poet devotes the sixth
stanza to the admiration of his work:
If such a poem as this
The world don't please;
Ill miss my guess,
For it's all new ideas;
All! If the world did but know
What thoughts in me Turk;
1t would not only support me,
But furnish clerk.
1t ought to please, especially this con-
Guiding verse, which gives an insight into
the Iowa pronunciation Of ideas" which
is evidently 'idees." Mr.. Ballard. who
signs his letter to the Chicago paper.
Yours respectively" says he has pub
lished several volumes of poems, and
wishes to visit Chicago for the purpose
of delivering poetical lectures. "Creston."
he says gave him $40 clear and clothes"
Chicago. he thinks, ought to do as well
or better. lie says he is "a loud speak
err" and will need a big han. If he can
talk real loud, and can get the Auditori-
um, he may be able to work himself right
up TO the front in the Windy City's liter
airy society.

"SchOOners" From the Northwest.
From the Houston (Tex-) Post Oem.).

Reports from over the south say that
prairie schooners from the northwest have
their sails set for southern points now in
great numbers. After a man has had a
few fingers and toes, and possibly an ear,
frozen off in the northwest, he is at least
ready to listen to somebody talk about
the balmy south.

CURRENT COMMENT.

From the Augusta Chronicle Dem.)

Cuba is at least a palpable fiction, and
recognizes something which has no ex-
istence, still, we may recognize her
right to independence, and there is little
doubt that his sentiment is popular

Michigan young lady named osler was
so confident that Bryan would be elected
that she staked 1000 kisses upon him. The

nothing to do but wipe out the slate and
take a recount, which is now progressing.
