THE PENSION. RECORD.
Secretary McPherson of the congressional
committee has prepared an interesting and
accurate account of the recent action of
the two parties upon pension bills in con
gress. This account shows very plainly the
general drift of the Democratic party in the
matter of pensions.
The house passed on March 3, 1884, under
a suspension of the rales, a bill to pension
soldiers and sailors of the Mexican war. The
senate amended this bill so as to give a pen
sion to those Union soldiers in the war of
the rebellion who are or shall become dis
abled and are also dependent upon their
own labor for support, 'at a rate proportion
ate to the degree of disability, $24 a month
being given to those who are totally inca
pacitated to perform any manual labor, and
that amount being made divisible upon that
basis for any less degree of dis
ability. It also increases the pen
sions of widows or minor children
to $12 per month, repealed the limit
as to age of children in case of widows who
have minor children of unsound mind or are
physically helpless; and added other clauses
for the relief of dependent pensioners. This
amendment was agreed to in the senate by a
party vote yeas 31, all Republican; nays
27, all Democrats. On the final passage of
the bill 4 Democrats voted with 33 Republi
cans in favor of it and 2 Republicans voted
with 25 Democrats against it, the vote hav
ing been 37 yeas and 27 nays. The bill was
taken in the house on July 2, 1884, five days
before adjournment, when filibustering was
resorted to under the leadership of Hon.
Goldsmith W. Hewitt, a Democratic repre
sentative from Alabama, to prevent concur
rence in the amendments of the senate. This
filibustering was participated in chiefly by
the southern Democracy. As a result no
action was taken and the bill remains undis
posed of.
It appears that for the original legislation
on this question the Democratic minority in
the early days after the war can claim no
credit; that upon the arrearage act of the
forty-fifth congress the majority of the Dem
ocratic party voted in opposition; and that
for the failure of legislation recently in the
house the responsibility is clearly with the
southern wing of that party. ,It not only
filibustered to prevent consideration of the
senate amendments, but distinctly antago
nized that bill with another and an original
house bill to pension soldiers of the Mexican
war, the Creek, the Seminole and the Black
Hawk wars of 1832, 1835, 1836 and 1842.
Eighty-four Democrats in the one case, seventy-nine
in another and forty-one in a third
joined in thus antagonizing the Mexican war
pension bill, which had passed both houses,
and was then pending in the house on the
senate amendment intended to benefit Union
soldiers of the war of the rebellion, their
widows and children.
It completes this record to add that while
this bill was pending in the senate a motion
was made to repeal section No. 4,716 of the
revised statutes, which provides that no
money on account of pensions shall be paid
to any person, or to the widow, children or
heirs of any deceased person, who in any
manner voluntarily engaged in or aided or
abetted the late rebellion against the author
ity of the United States. This motion to re
peal was defeated yeas 28, nays 29. The
affirmative vote was solidly Democratic, save
1. The negative vote was solidly Republi
can. The Democratic party never thought much
of the soldiers who fought to save the Union.
The only hope that confederate soldiers have
of being pensioned is in the return of the
Democratic party to power;
EDITORIAL ROTES.
A. Balaam has been nominated for sheriff
by the Democrats of Tulare county, Califor
nia,and Jack Cass is said to have been defeat
ed for a Democratic nomination in Massa
chusetts. The assessors' lists for the city of Phila
delphia contain 222,631 voters' names, which
is an increase of over 20,000 since 1880.
Both parties have shown the greatest activity
in getting the names of all their voters on the
lists and in securing naturalization papers
for those entitled to papers. Something like
2,000 persons have been naturalized. All
the indications point to an enormous vote in
the city, which, of course, is altogether in
favor of the Republicans.
The Schenectady Union tells a sad story of
how two lives were blasted by a fly's foolish
ness. A couple was married two years ago,
and have lived happily until a few days ago.
A few mornings since a fly fell into the
wife's coffee, was pulled out by her husband
and accidentally tossed upon her plate. She
became angry, got her bonnet and left the
house. Her father has since removed her ef
fects to her parents' home. The separation
is final.
A man known as "Chuck" Smith recently
died in a Colorado mining town, and a local
paper thus describes a mishap which occur
red at his funeral: "The remains were trans
ported to the grave in first-class style in Joe
Biglin's best hearse. Unfortunately, before
the cemetery was reached, the horses took
fright and ran away. The hearse was over
turned, and Mr. Smith was spilled out of his
coffin, sustaining a compound fracture of the
arm. It was lucky for Joe Biglin that poor
'Chuck' was not alive, as in that ease he
would certainly have claimed heavy dam
ages." And now St. John's record is being care
fully looked up. At Olathe, in Kansas, where
his home is, the people are fairly overrun
with inquiries about his character. The
ministers are especially appealed to, and the
mayor gets so many letters that he is obliged
to hire a private secretary to help read them.
The missives come from all parts of the
country. The secretaries and other officers
of women's Christian temperance unions and
other temperance organizations write, and so
do countless numbers of women who are not
officers.
A correspondent of the Charleston News
and Courier mentions the interesting fact
that on the occasion of the recent visit of
Governor Thompson and Senator Butler to
Newberry to harangue the Democracy of that
South Carolina town, the train which
brought the visitors was completely sur
rounded upon its arrival by "the Red shirts,"
who, with the help of the Newberry Rifles,
"a splendid mounted organization," escorted
him to the place of meeting. - There is a
"small negro majority" in the county.but the

The subject of theosophy has, according to
the Calcutta correspondent of the London
Times, occupied a large share of the atten
tion of the Indian press and public lately.
It has been brought prominently forward by
the publication in the Madras Christian Col
lege Magazine of a correspondence alleged to
have passed between Mme. Blavatsky and a
Monsieur and Mme. Coulomb, who appear to
have been followers of her, but who, having
fallen out with the sect, have placed the let
ters in the hands of the editor of the maga
zine. These letters, if genuine, certainly
prove Mme. Blavatsky to be a consummate im
postor, who with the help of
Coulomb imposed upon the credulous
by ingenious trickery. The so-called astral
body of the Tibetan Mehatma Koot
Humi is described as a crafty arrangement of
bladders, muslin, and a mask, while the
wonder-working shrine at Madras is said to
be a mere conjurer's cabinet. The theo
sophists indignantly declare the letters to be
impudent forgeries, and state that the Cou
lombs were expelled from the society, and
have taken iis means to revenge them
selves. OVERREACHED.

NO MORE THIS YEAR.
No more the humming-bird serenely hums,
And all around the waving liiy curves:
No more the gTass-blade, held between his thumbs.
The urchin blows to shatter all his nerves.
No more the snowy lambkin, rapture full,
With his hind legs the highest fence rail hits;
No more, no more the inquisitive Durham bull.
About yon garden like a swallow Hits.
No more the katydid exhausts its jaw -Among
the vines where Hre-fues used to flash;
No more we slap our noses till they're raw.
In hope the dud mosquito for to smash.
No more the bald head feels the buzzing fly.
No more the robin in the treetop toots;
No more before the can the sacred ki-yi
Like summer lightning down the highway scoots.

COMMUNICATION S.
Sqnabbllnc Christians.
To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
Many of your readers, like myself, have
had enough of the indecorous squabble pub
lished in your columns about the right of
churches on the Green to take what fand
they wish to enlarge their places of worship
as desired or needed. .
for one, I do not see what better use of
the land can be made than in permitting
them to occupy what they want of it for the
purpose of suitably enlarging their present
edifices.
- The person, however, signing himself
"United Church" in this morning's issue
writes in a manner distinctly, and one might
say purposely, offensive.
- Reading between the lines the intolerant,
bitter and aggressive animus of his commu
nication becomes evident. It contains in no
degree the spirit that advances the vital in
terests of any church.
The humble, thankful, grateful servant of
the Master has neither time nor wish to
question the measure of faith of other avow
ed Christians, having his attention, mind
and vigilance fully occupied with his own
unruly self, so that he may ever be in con-
dition to fight the good fight, to keep the
faith and himself unspotted from the world.
Looker-on.
A Way Oat Of The Squabble.
To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
The action of our Common Council in
granting permission to Trinity church
to extend its edifice has caused very general
dissatisfaction. And aow the United church
asks similar permission. I would suggest
that it would be a good plan for the authori
ties to stop the completion of the addition to
Trinity church. Let the city pay the church
what it has expended and what it will cost to
put their church back where it was before
the extension was commenced. This, it
seems to me, would be a fair arrangement
and would prevent any organization in the
future from quoting the action of the Com
mon Council in regard to Trinity church as a
precedent. G.
SNOW AJiDTHUSDKIl.
Recalling a Singular Storm Which
Startled People Thirty-One Ifeara
Ago.
"I don't believe there has been a thunder
storm that I have witnessed for the past thir
ty years,' said a gentleman of this city,
"which has not given me occasion to ask j
scores of people if they had ever seen a
thunder and lightning snow-storm, and I
never met but one man yet, besides myself,
who ever had. He happened to be from
Mount Desert, Me., and was one who had
witnessed the same phenomenon of this kind
that I had at Bar Harbor, thirty-one years
ago. I haven't the least doubt that there are
plenty of people there yet who remember
that frightful storm and who can substan
tiate every word I say. They certainly re
member it if they were there at the time, for
no one could ever forget that sight.
"I remember that it had been snowing all
day that day, and a strong northeast gale
came along with it. The day was made ter-'
rible enough by the natural elements without
needing any aid from the unnatural ones
that followed. The wind stopped blowing
quite suddenly an hour after sundown, and
everybody .remarked the singular stillness
that succeeded it. Although it was snowing
still and very cold, the evening was not par
ticularly dark until about seven o'clock,
when it began to darken and continued to
increase in darkness until the blackness was
intense. Then the sound of distant thunder j
was heard in the west, accompanied by faint
bluish lightning flashes. The thunder grew
rapidly louder and the lightning more vivid,
until peal seemed to pile on peal, and the
play of electricity was almost constant. The
thunder shook the buildings like an earth
quake. In a short time after the first appear
ance of the phenomenon the lightning be
came a deep purple or violet color, and took
the form of balls of fire. I had stepped in
at the house of a Mr. Holden at the first ap
pearance of the storm, and when it reached
its height I remember we were all nearly
frightened to death, and huddled mechani
cally in the middle of the room like a parcel
of sheep. Suddenly there came a clap of
thunder that shook the house from founda
tion to roof, and almost immediately a ball
of purple fire crashed through a window and
shattered a clock that stood against the wall
one of the old-fashioned tall clocks. The
shock did not affect any of us beyond crea
ting a Blight numbness, and we all rushed
out of the room. Almost immediately there
came another thunderclap, and the room we
had left was instantly filled with a purple
blaze, accompanied by a peculiar snapping
and cracking sound, similar to the throwing
oSE of electric sparks by a rapidly-moving
belt, only a thousand times louder. With
the exception of the clock not a thing was
injured about the house.
"I don't believe there ever was a worse
frightened lot of people in the world than
the inhabitants of Bar Harbor were that
night. That purple ball lightning flashed
about and obtruded itself everywhere. There
was scarcely a house that was not visited by
it. At one house it entered it pasted through
one window and across the room end out at
another window, setting fire to a box of
matches that lay on a table in the middle of
the room. At another house a woman was
rendered unconscious by a shock which ex
tinguished all the lights in the house at the
same time. The woman's husband was try
ing to find a match to strike another light,
when he was prostrated by a second shock.
These two recovered, but the man was
speechless for a long time afterward. Scores
of people were paralyzed by visitation of the
lightning, but no one in Bar Harbor was fa
tally injured. The storm was not confined
to Bar Harbor, but prevailed all over Mount
Desert Island. At Southwest Harbor and
Northeast Harbor vessels were dismantled by
the lightning, and one sailor was killed. There
was scarcely a craft of any kind in the har
bor but had at least one shattered mast.
"The freaks of this strange electric visitor
outside the buildings were most extraordina
ry. At' one place one of the fiery balls
struck the top of a flag pole. The pole was
torn into a hundred pieces, and the lightning
plunged into the earth. Usually that would
have ended the career of the ordinary elec
tric current. This ball, however, was not
subdued yet, and after plowing its way to the
bottom of the pole beneath the ground, be
tween four and five feet, it started horizon
tally in an eastern direction. Although the
ground was frozen as hard as a rock, this
thunderbolt plpwed a trench through for a
distance of nearly five hundred feet. The
debris from this trench, consisting of great
masses of frozen ground and stones weighing
in some instances hundreds of pounds, were
thrown in both directions, and some of them
high in the air for long distances around.
One mass of frozen earth as large as a fishing
smack was hurled more than seventy-five
feet away. Fortunately for property owners
and their lives the course taken by this erra
tic ball of fire was through an open piece of
land with no buildings near it. If it had
chosen a western course it would have
plowed in under several residences, and in
the inevitable wreck that must have followed
scores of lives would undoubtedly have been
lost.
"A grove of trees that stood in those days
between the residences. I think, of a family
named Carter and one named Lodge, seemed
to be an especially favorite spot for the light
ning to play about. While the purple bolts
shot in among the trees no less than six
times, neither of the adjacent houses was
tonched. On the second visit of the light
ning to the grove the tension on the nerves
of the inmates became too great for them to
bear, and they sought other quarters without
delay. The grove was a sight to see next
morning. Only a few trees were left stand
ing. Great stones had been torn up from
beneath the surface and lay scattered about
in the snow, which had been swept entirely
away in some spots as though there had nev
er a flake fallen there. Several trees had
been torn up by the roots. One of these
was carried twenty-five feet into the yard of
one of the houseB. Another tree, a small
spruce, hung by its roots in the upper
branches of a larger tree a long distance
from where the smaller one had been torn up.
"The thunder and lightning continued for
more than twenty minutes, when the storm
passed out to sea and gradually died away.
During it all the snow continued falling,
and soon after the thnndei storm passed
the northeast gale again began to blow.
Since that night it has once been my lot
to be followed very closely for miles by a
prairie fire, when one misstep by my horse
or a moment's slackening of his spoed
would have ended everything for me, and
once to be held fast in a burning railroad
car, when rescue delayed one minute would
have been too late, but I look back at
neither of these terrible situations with a
sensation of having been so near to the
borders of the other world as I felt that I
was on the night of that frightful winter
thnnder storm at Bar Harbor.

WE DO NOT CLAIM
that Hood's Sarsaparilla will euro every
thing, but the fact that on the purity and
vitality of the blood depend the vigor and
health of the whole system, and that disease
ot various kinds is often only the sign that
nature Is trying to remove the disturbing
cause, we are naturally led to the conclusion
that a remedy that gives life and vigor to
the blood, eradicates scrofula and ether im
purities lrom it, as Hood's Sarsaparilla
undoubtedly does, must be the means of pre
venting many diseases that would occur
without its use ; hence the field of Its useful
ness is quite an extended one, and we are
warranted In recommending it lor all de
rangements of the system which are caused
by au unnatural state of tho blood.
Why Suffer with Salt-Rheum ?
Messbs. C. I. Hood & Co., Lowell, Mass.
Gentlemen I was a great sufferer from
Salt-Rlieum on my limbs, for a dozen years
frevlous to the summer of 1676,. at which
Ime I was cured by Hood's Sarsaparilla.
The skin would become dry, chap, crack
open, bleed aud itch intensely, so that I
could not help scratching, which of course
made them worse. At the time I com
menced taking Hood's Sarsaparilla (in the
summer of 1876) thev were so had that they
discharged, and I was obliged to keep them
bandaged with linen cloths. The skin was
drawn so tight by the heat of the disease
that ii I stooped over they would crack open
mid actually Tring teai s into my eyes. The
first bottle benefited me so much that I con
tinued taking it till I was cured I jised one
box of Hood's Olive Ointment, to relieve the
itching. Hoping many others may learn the
value of Hood's Sarsaparilla and receive as
much benefit as I have, I am.
Very truly yours,
