A STORY OF THE CIVIL WAR

There is pretty story of the civil
war behind the bill which Senator v Est
OF Missouri, introduced m the United
States Senate last week 10 give a pen
sion OF $50 month 10 the widow Of
Gen. John D. Stevenson, Of st. Louis,
Wien the war broke out Senator Vest
was resident Of Boonville, Mo. He
entered the Confederate army and
served for while in the Missouri cam
paign. Then he went to Richmond as
member OF the c. moderate Congress.
His family remained at Boonville. On
the day that the Federal troops, under
Gen, John D. Stevenson, captured Boon
vile Mrs. Vest gave birth to a child.
Shortly after his entry into toe city
General Stevenson, who had known
Senator Vest previous to the outb, ak
OF the war learned of Mrs. Vests con-
. dition, snd by his order there was
placed q guard around Mrs. Vests
home, with instructions to see not only
that the house was not disturbed by
tie Federal soldiers, but that no dis
tuibance which might affect Mrs. Vest 8
condition should take place 10 the
neighborhood To this kindly con-
tideration Of the Onion general Mrs.
Vest probably owed her life and the
life OF Ter new born babe. The guard
was continued around her home until
she bad so fav recovert d as to permit
OF Ter being moved. General Steven
son then saw 10 it that she and her
baby were conveyed in safety to her
pa ents' home in Kentucky.
Senator Vest never forgot the kind
ness OF General Stevenson to Mrs. Vest.
Up TO the time Of General Stevenson's
death he and Senator Vest were the
warmest OF friends. Now that he is
gore the Senator feels in duty bound
to have extended to General Steven
sons widow the aid of which she is in
need. The old lady is seventy-nine
years OF age, and in view of her hus-
bands distinguished services to the
Unior, Senator Vest thinks the gov
eminent should give her such a pen
sion as will enable her 70 PASS her few
declining years in comfort. The Mis-
sou'i Senator has personally called
upon number Of Senators and Rep
retentatives who can aid him in getting
the bill through. He has told them
the story Of his lasting obligation to
General Stevenson, and each time he
repeats it I he depth of his feeling is evi
denced by his visible emotion. Gen
eral Stevenson was native of Staun-
ton, Va.

IN A BILLIARDS. GRASP.


Kansas City, Mo-, Nov. GA terrific
blizzard has swept over Missouri and
Kansas since Sunday evening. A fall
of rain changed suddenly into sleet,
and as quickly again into clustering
snowstorm. The wind, as II to aid the
other elements, has been blowing at a
stiff gale throughout. The storm,
from reports which have been re-
ceivcd, extends from Colorado points
to the interior of Missouri, and
from Duluth to Wichita All sec
tions report similar conditions.
The record for severe storms in
the early winter has been discounted.
Throughout Kansas, where it is prob
ably at its worst and has not veto eased,
railway traffic is partially suspended.
Telegraph and telephone wires are
down throughout the state and com
munication is almost entirely cut off.
Coal famines are reported in several
localities. The loss OF live stock
promises to be heavy.
A dispatch from Omaha, Neb, says:
For - hours a strong wind from the
northwest has swept Nebraska, and
during most of the time it has driven
fine snow ahead of it. Consider
able loss of stock, both cattle and
sheep, is feared, owing to the fact
that many thousands of herds have
been brought in from the south
for feeding and have not yet had
time to become sufficiently accli-
mated To withstand the stress of the
storm. One death from exposure is
reported. f. II. Thompson, of 1885

NOW UNDER THE FIFTH VIAL.
lie Smashed After spain, and
Then Come n General War.

According to the scheme ofprophecy
adopted by leading Interpreters, the
world is now under the fifth vial,
which is being poured out on the seat
OF the beast.-.ReV. 26:10. II so, we
need not be astonished at still great
er and heavier judgments yet to be
sent upon Spain. For the vial is now
to he drained to its dregs. says min
lister in the Atlanta (Ga) journal.
After the humiliation and over
throw Of the Spanish power the next
thing on the prophetic bulletin board
will he the destruction of Turkey, SYM
bolized by the drying up of the river
Euphrates. We no more doubt the de-
struction Of Turkey than the shining
Of the sun. At the beginning OF the
present struggle many expressed the
fear of general war, in which all the
nations OF Europe would be involved.
The writer took no part in such fear,
and for the reason the time for that
had not yet come. The sixth vial must
first be poured out upon the Euphrates
turkey, after which the seventh and
last vial is TO be poured out into the
air. Then, and not till then, may we
expect anything like a general war.
In connection with the pouring out
of the seventh or last vial. is to be the
last Of great earthquake or upheav-
al in the religious world, which is to
usher in the millennium, by which we
are not to understand that everybody
is to be converted, but simply that all
organized opposition to the Gospel will
be done away with.
