The Department of the Potomac, Grand
Army OF the Republic, and the Veterans
Protective Association, q local organiza-

the Administra ton with a view to the
reinstatement and transfer OF the ex-
Union soldiers who were dismissed from
the, records and pension division of the
War Department. These discharged vet
Grams are commonly styled Aims worth's
viotims''
This pressure has been particularly strong
upon the Department OF the Interior, and
the delegations that have presented the
proposition before Secretary Bliss have
enlisted the sympathy of that official
in the cause of the dismissed.
The proposition is to effect a re-instate-
ment Of the old soldiers for a nominal
period and then to have them taken into
the several departments by transfer.
1t is understood at the Department of
the Interior that Secretary Bliss has agreed
to receive into his department about twenty
of these men, should their reins tItement
in the War Department be effected.

By fortuitous but somewhat unusual

Crowding memories passed In with
her through the opening door Of the
morning room, outwardly trying her
composure sorely. She bore herself with
the complaisance of a captive princesa
She advanced well into the room before
speaking, and stood there pressing her
tiny, gauntleted hands tightly upon the
handle of her riding whip. Her large
eyes were fixed calmly ON Mrs. Strong's
high bred face. They were red trimmed
as from recent tears When she spoke,
the soft culture of her voice was dis

Mrs Strong. Mamma thinks should

Things have changed so, you know"
Looking at her now for the first time
at close range, listening to her, saying
what she had to say with quiet direct
ness equally free from flippancy as from
awkwardness, Mrs. Strong was con-
scious of a passionate longing and of
brief sensation of thankfulness If her
Gabrielle could but have been spared to
come back to her radiant, self poised,

decision.

Liza walked over to chair, neither
hurriedly nor shyly She was not OPP
pressed by any disconcerting sense Of
space between her and this patrician
lady, who had been born into possession
of all the elegances surrounding her.
She regarded Mrs. Strong's high bred,

A Stabbing ARRAY

Last Monday evening, a short dis
lance west of Hancock, a dastardly
stabbing ARRAY took place, and if we
are correctly informed, in most cow
ardly and Infamous manner. The
parties who did the stabbing were
August Baumgartner and F. Fid-
dler two farmers living near Han
cock, and the victim was a Mr.. Hat
ton, who has been working around
at different places in the village.
The full particulars as to the cause
of the cutting are somewhat
vague; but it is claimed by some
that Hatton hired out to work
for Mr.. Schliep on conditions that
if he liked the place he would stay,
if not he could quit. In few days
he quit and came into Hancock, and
last Monday the two above named,
hired Hatton to work for them, and
ne started to accompany them 10
their home in the evening. When a
few miles out of Hancock the two
men jumped on Hatton and severely
cut and pounded him. Baumgartner
and Fiddler were arrested and will
have hearing today, when more of
the particulars will come out. Hatton
is not dangerously injured, having.
succeeded in getting away from his
assailants. He was stabbed several
times in the side, but his pocket book
in the inside pocket of his coat pre-
vented the knife from penetrating the
flesh very deep, and is likely what
saved his life.
