It is in the r. ports Of tEe committee on claims that the story Of the treasury
 notes is told. According to thsse re- ports. John Veeley was Jn September 29, 1868, employed in Louisville, Ky, as a carpanter by the Lou 'sville & Nash vile Railroad company, and while tear ing cut the end of an old box car which was under repair, he found five United States treasury notes, payable to bear CT, of S100 each. The notes were some what mutilated and appeared to have formed part of a rats nest, but there seems to have been no difficulty in de- teTmining their character their danOm- inaticn and date and the issue and series to which each belonged. Veeley took the notes tc the Louisville custom house. and th1y were forwarded to the treasury department for redemption; but the department refused to redeem them, and with the approval of the secretary they were returned to him in February, 1869. He then soId them to one Julius Wellman. 2 broker, for $500
 In March, 1869, Wellman sent them again to the treasury department, and the matter was referred to the first comptroller, who decided that they should neither be redeemed nor re- turned to Wellman. Wellman then made a demand upon Veeley fJr the ra- turn of the purchase money, and it is alleged that an officer was sent to in timidate him and force a settlement. Veeley had in the mean time d sp0s5d of the $500, and, being dependent on his daily labor, it was not easy to refund the money, but he at length did SO by installmsnts, and whatever rights were acquired by the original finding were revived in him by the repayment
 Veeley subsequently renewed his ef forts to secure payment from the treas ury department, but the request was denied, and the notes still remained in the hands Of the treasurer.
 Senator Turpie's bill, as amended by the senate committee Cn claims, directs the secretary Of the treasury to pay Veeley ths value of the five treasury notes found by him.
 The bill was favcTably reported by the committee Cn March 31, 1897, and was passed on May IT, 1897. It was in- trcdUced in the house three days F3ta~, and final action was taken.-Cincinnai

An old Dutchman had a beautifui boy, of whom he was very proud, and he decided tc find cut the bent of his mind. He adopted a novel method by which to test him. He slipped into the little fellows room one morning and placed on his table Bible, bottle of whisky and a silver dollar.

A DoUBLE-BARRELLED CANNON.
It Was Made to Fire Two Balls, Cen
 nected by a Fifty-Foos Chain

The old double-barrelled cannon of the Mitchell Thunderbolts is now owned by the city and is on the city hall lot. Capt. Rarnetti has been in structed to have the cannon mounted at the head Of the park, near the Con fedreate monument There is history Of unique interest that gees along with this old cannon. In the first place it is -the only double-barreled cannon in the world. In the next place, it was in vented with a peculiar idea in the mind Of the inventor. It belonged to tha Mitchell Thunderbcits, a company Of old men organized here in 1863 purely fer home defense. One of the comIany, MT. John Gilleland, invented this can non and had it cast at the Athens foun- dry.
 The idea of MT. Gilleland was one of considerable ingenuity. A fifty-fcot chain, with the ends attached to two cannon balls, was the charge, and the idea Of the inventor was that when the cannon balls came out Of the muzzle of the cannon they would have tendency to diverge, draw the chain taut, and now down an entire company. The company tCck the cannon out into the country near Athens one day to test it. It was properly charged and touched off with great ceremony. One of the balls got a little ahead of the other, and then the mischief was to pay. It had kind Of circular motion and ploWed up about a quarter of an acre of ground, the members of the company in the mean time scattering in all directions to keep from bsing hit by the flying chain
 The old cannon was never used afeer that except at an occasional democratic T,,Ii vlayN ho rf 70CT CTxv6n be fired. About five ysars ago the old cannon disappeared, and not until few days ago did our people know where it was. Last week it turned up in a junk shop. but it was promptly purchased by the city. MT. Neumysr, who owned the cannon, had been of fered $50 fer is, but when he learned that it was 3 rare cid relic and our peo- plsi wanted to keep it he promptly turned down the offer and traded it to the city fC- an old bell.-Athens (Ga.)

OUR MORNING SERMON
Hove of Life"- New Years
 Sermon.
By Rt Rev. c. Kinloch Nelson. D. D.
 Bishop of Georgia, Atlanta, Ca.

He that will love life, and see gSOd days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:
 Let him eschew evil and do good; let him seek peace and ensue it.-I Peter, 3:10-11.
 On this first day and first Sunday of 1889 I bid all who are following this ministry of the press from week tc week and thcse who may imply chance to read these words today "A Happy New Year" I wish fer you such meas ure of temporal prosperity as may be needful and profitable, and, above all, that you may have the peace Of God.
 And what will be the response to such wish? That dspends very large 1y upon the view you take ce life; whether you regard it as a gift to be cherished and improved by every ca pacity and opportunity afforded you; whether ycu consider that whatever is is good, heaven-sent CT earth-born, CT whether you look at teveryth n g through dark glasses, and all things appear as bad as they can well be, with no ray of hope for anything better.
 For it must be evident, upon scan ming the conduct c,f those about us, that there are prevalent at least three dis tinct opinions of life's value.
 First, there is that Of the cptimist, who, without according perfection to life and its surroundings, tells US he has no fault to find with man or nature as they are. Nature has her storms, her fires. her earthquakes; man has his wars and his financial depressicns; but fhsss are exceptional. and after the first few shocks and some devastation na- ture and man settle down quietly to IL 1II r1-,-1r 10 1NrlI-v thing. under the circumstances. is at it's best In the exuberapce of animal spir- it's with which the cotimist is usually endowed. joy and pleasure far exceed grief and pain; human faults are not as heinous as they secTn, and there is an apology for the greater part. of the wickedness that is apparent. Truth and right will always triumph, even in this world. Life has to him the colCr of the rose.
 We all like to meet such pep e; they are as refreshing IS spring showers. IL is hard to have tn say anything that will lower this exalted view Of life. But, granting all that is commendaole in Hooking on the bright side,' the opti- mist's view involves a contradiction of revelation in one vital particular: He minimizes the appalling fact of sin-sjn in it's manifold effects upon human ty, from which thousands suffer every day. And I submit that the man who regards sin lightly is in danger himself and is dangerous in his example to those who accept his prevailing cheerfulness as evidence of a safe conscience.
 Another and an opposite school, whose tenets we are net able to r3comm en because, as it appears to us, they live in an unhealthy atmosphere, is that of the pessimists. We do them no dishcnor

point OF the Sky, called the 'ant apex"

This method has been employed by
several astronomers, especially by VO-
gel at the Potsdam observatory. This
able astronomer has found from an ex-
animation of 40 stars that the suns
velocity through space is about ~
miles a second, but an examination of
a larger number of stars would be nee
essary before we could consider this
result as thoroughly established
From an examination of the spectra
of II nebul:e Professor Keller of the
Lick observatory has found velocities
in the line of sight, and from these the
French astronomer Tisserand has de-
duced a velocity of about 8 1-3 miles
for the solar motion, 4 result which
does not differ widely from that found
by Vogel. We may therefore perhaps
conclude that the velocity of the suns
motion through space is between and

WHY Ther Dnn.t Like 1t.

Why are the German Americans 80
bitterly opposed to the imperialistic
policy of the republican party? Buck
HinIichsen asked an intelligent Ger
man the other day. He replied: Most
of the German immigrants during the
last twenty years LEFT the fatherland
To- escape the heavy military duty
which that form of government i'm
poses upon it's people, and they see in
the policy of the republican party a
tendency toward the same system they
came TO America to escape. 1t i a
serious thing to give seven years OF
your life. from Is to %. to soldering,
not to speak of the liability to be
called out for service at any time after
that. Just imagine. if you can. how
it would be in this country to have
every boy of Is forced into the army
for seven years active service, and
this, our people feel, will be the final
result if the policy of the administra-
ton is carried out. The Germans are
n patriotic people and are loyal to
their adopted country. They are
ready to fight for liberty. but they are
