H the Jotmutl should state, as it often lias, done, j
that unevti -were Su town, would raou who arc not
thieves take trffoibc? Would they take sueh pub
1ieat5oasa reflection on tfcetr honesty? We are
ot prepared to believe that they would. Why,
then, Should an lioucut pensioner become incensed
-when aaytbJnsis said against pension frauds?
2-his is simply begging the question.
Vhat the honest pensioner objects to is not
he exposure of indivianal cases of iraud in
jaenslons, but the indiscriminate abuse J
irhich such papers as the Journal have
iMMfted upon our pensioners as a body. The
jfcwrjge, for instance, that the pension list is
jMnejr-cl)4I mik fraud, tends to make
imqrpeusiesttff the ebjeet of s&apiclou, since
iie priblicr cannot "be expected to boinfonaed
as to ilie merifc of individual cases, and it is
the more intolerable inasmuch as the official
records of the Pension Office show that the
percentage of fraud is really but one-tenth
of one per cent The Journal intimates that
nobody 'would take it as a reflection upon
his honesty if it should announce the fact that
there Tirere thieves in town, but what would
be the conscguence if it should declare that
among the grocers, or haters, or butchers, or
lawyers, or doctors of the place fraud was
largely prevalent? Does it Buppose that
they would not indignantly .resent the ac
cusation and demand of the editor that he
either produce -the proofs of his allegation
or withdraw it unconditionally ? The Jour
nal knows better than to tr ihat experiment.
TCot a Compromise, but Hcpntliatioiu
y Among ilie many plans that have been
proposed for the final solution of the pen
sion question, the most remarkable is, un
doubtedly, that suggested by the New York
Herald. Says that journal, in the course of
an editorial on what it is pleased to term
the a Bension S windle'in its issue of January
16ih:
The only way to prevent further unnecessary ex
pense on pension account, is to offer to commute
daiins by the immediate payment of a lump sum
for instance, the amount that -would be paid the
imnsioner in five years in full of all demands.
With the agjjrccate of several years' pension
money many veterans who have never "got on
their feet" since the war could establish themselves
in business, and the thousands who bemoan their
financial inability to take advantage of the special
favor offered them by the Homestead law would
hare money enough to go on a "quarter section,"
"work it, and maintain themselves until they could
harvest a crop.
A great deal of money would be required to buy
off the many pensioners who would avail them
selves of an offer of commutation j but in business
it is considered good x'olicy to anticipate absolute
obligations when much money can be saved by so
doing. Jt is better to give the pensioner five hun
dred dollars this year, if be will be satisfied with
it and agree never to ask for more, than to give
him several times cs much in fcmall sums during
the coming twenty or thirty years. The aggregate
sum Tequired would probably be far in excess of
the Treasury surplus or of what can be obtained
by the present scale of tariff and internal revenue
taxes; but if higher taxation seemed inadvisable
the money could be raised by the issue of bonds at
very iow interest, and such bonds might relieve
the national banks and all sound financiers of their
perplexity as to what will become of our banking
system when the existing bonds are all called in or
mature. The present annual payment on regular
pensions, aside from arrears, is about sixty million
dollars, and this sum will undoubtedly increase
ten or fifteen million dollars before it begins to di
minish by deaths exceeding in number the new
pen&ioncrs. Bonds for even a portion of thi3 sum
for five years would put all the national banks out
of misery for as long a time as might be specified
for the bonds to reach maturity.
"R agree with the Jlcrald that this would
be, in one sense, a very profitable arrange
ment for the Government; but it strikes us
that a very important condition of its suc
cess has heexi entirely overlooked, namely,
i the assent of the claimants hemKlw?.
"Why should they accept from the Govern
ment anything less than the amount that
It owes them? If their claims to pension
constitute, as the Herald significantly ad-
! mits, "absolute obligations" on the nart of
the Government, on what grounds can ihey
be tasked to compromise them? JBecause
the Government is too poor to pay? Evi
dently that .cannot be offered as a reason,
since so high is its financial credit &t the
present moment that should its surplus rev
enues not be sufficient to meet all demands
on account of pensions, it could xeadily, as
ike Herald frankly concedes, raise the nec
essary money by an issue of bonds at a very
low rate of interest
Because it will be to their own advan
tage? Clearly the inducements .offered do
not warrant that conclusion. On the con
trary, to compel our ex-soldiers to accept a
lump sum in lieu of the pension which, un
der existing laws, they are entitled to re
ceive during their lifetime, would be equiv
alent in most cases to downright robbery
since the interest on the money so received
would go but a little way towards supplying
the support guaranteed hy the Government
"What, for instance,would the class of pen
fiioners who now receive 72 per month, for
loss of both legs or both arms, or for other
disabilities which render necessary the con
stant aid and attendance of another pcrsom
do when the "lump sum" paid in settle
ment of their claims was exhausted? They
would then be as helpless as when they
originally applied for pension, yet with
out resource save the almshouse. "Would
that be such a fulfillment vof tho Nation's
obligations to its veterans as was con
templated In the promise to " careforhim -svho
shall have borne the battle and his widow
and orphans?"
The iact, as pointed out by iha Herald,
that many of our veterans have never " got
on their feet" since 4he year, so far fronv
4 affording a reason why the Government
should thus seek to evade the fall execution
of lis contract with them, is conclusive evi
dence, It seems to ns, of the necess of an
immediate and complete satisfaction of their
claims. The tardiness which has marked the
course of the Government in theseiUement
of its obligations to the soldier, in- marked
contrast to its celerity in redeeming its
pn&nrises lo the bondholder, increases rather
than diminishes its responsibility, and to
resort to such a mode of evading that re
awnsibility as iioe Ha'ald suggests would be
equivalent to repudiation. Such it surely
would liave been pronounced had it been
proposed as a basis of settlement with the
bondholders.
But ihe truth of the matter-is that the
Government is under no necessity of driving
a bard bargain with any of its creditors. The
annual value of tho pension roll, aside from
arrears, is not sixty millions of dollars, as
the Herald Iguorantly declares, but only
-tbiriy-two millions ($32,245,102.43), and so
vast is the surplus lying idle in the Treasury
that, without any increase of taxation or
issue of bonds, ample means are at hand for
the payment of the full measure of tho Gov
ernment's obligations.
Can it be possible, after all, that iu sng
gostiflg this method of tClumping" pension
pai'inents tho Herald has been .prompted
THE NATIONAL TBIBimB:WASHDrGTONv D. 0., THURSDAY, JANUARY 24, 1884;A
solely by the desire to "put all the national
banks out of misery? "-
Tho Danger of ttie Hour.
In the midst of their discussions as to the
merits of tho various pension and bounty
measures now pending before Congress there
is one thing ihat our veterans should keep
constantly in mind, namely, the danger that
the present revenues of the Government will
be so reduced by legislative action as to
leave no surplus in the Treasury out of
which the amount required for the carrying
out of any of these new pension and bounty
measures can be appropriated. That danger
is real and perhaps imminent, and it be
comes our ex-soldiers to exercise their
utmost influence to avert it.
It matters not what their politics may be,
or whether they are believers in the doc
trines of free trade or protection, they have
a common interest in preventing this reduc
tion, since it would afford an excuse, if not
a justifiction, for a refusal by Congress to
further consider their claims upon it.
As we have frequently pointed out, there
are potent influences at work to bring about
this reduction. Aside from those who advo
cate it openly as the most effectual way of
closing the doors against the soldier, the
national banks are clamorous for its accom
plishment, since the extinguishment of the
surplus in the Treasury -would put a stop to'
the payment of the public debt prior to the
maturity of the seve'ral loans, and thu3 re
lieve them of the necessity of securing their
circulation by the purchase, at a high pre
mium, of the bonds required to replace those
called in. 2Iany leading protectionists are
also disposed to favor a reduction of the in
ternal revenue taxes as, calculated to pre
vent any interference with the tariff, while
the free-traders are equally desirous to cut
down the revenues, providing it can be
accomplished through the removal of the
duties on imports. It is possible, of
course, that this very conflict of interests
may serve to defeat final action, but it is by
no means certain, and the passage by Con
gress of any measure to curtail the income
of the Government would unquestionably
operate as a bar to the enactment of any
new pension or bounty law requiring an
appropriation from the National Treasury :
to make it effective.
There are many good grounds on which
our ex-spldiers might oppose this contem
plated reduction, but one Tvill suffice,
namely, the obligation which rests npon the
Government to make good its promises to
those who bore arms in its defense. Con
gress should be made to understand that in
the eyesof the country the debt to the sol
dier is as sacred as that to the bondholder,
and that ample provision should be made
for its discharge before the revenues are
reduced
Time was when thejresources of ihe Gov
ernment, owing to the burden of its funded
debt, were unequal to the liquidation of the
soldiers' claims, it was for that reason alone, '
as he averred, that President Grant with
held his approval from the equalization of
bounties bill, and our veterans have waited
many years for ihe time to arrive when the
poverty of the Treasury would no longer
bar the settlement of their claims.
Kbw that ihe time is at hand, they have
a right to Insist on the full and prompt
liquidation of these obligations. The Gov
ernment can afford to .pay, ihe people are
willing that it should pay, and not to pay
now will be equivalent to repudiation. It
is in this light that Congress should deal
with the question of revenue reduction, and
every ex-soldier who is alive to .the impor
tance of the issue should see to it that his
Representative is not left in ihe dark as to
.his wishes in the matter.
Some Significant ITjgures.
According to 2?. W. Ayer &. Son's Ameri
can JVewspqper Annual, the number of news
papers and periodicals published in the Dis
trict of Columbia, including The ISTationax
TjiTBU2TE,is fifty-one, classified as follows:
Dailies, G; weeklies, 32; monthlies, 11 j bi
monthlies,!; quarterly, 1. These publica
tions come under the head of "second class
mail matter," the. rate of postage on which
is two cents per pound, and it appears from
the official Teport of Postmaster Conger that,
the total amount of postage paid by them
during the year ending December 31,1683,
was $17,81G.1G, or an increase of $-1,545.54
over the sum paid -during the preceding
year.
To what cause was that increase due?
The answer may be found by comparing
the amount of postage paid by The JjTa
TIOSAL Tkibuke during the' year 1882
3,G43.$3 with that during the yar that
has just closed ?9,G47.74 as officially cer
tified to in the following letter :
Wash ikotok Ciry Post-Ofi'ice,
OinriCE XJF THE POSTMASXEB,
WAsiuxtgtok, D. C, JDec. 25, 1S83.
.The Xatxoxal Tejbuxj:,
Washington, D. C.
Ghstlkstes; Your letter of the 7th inst. re-"
questing . statement of $ie Btnount-of money paid
for postage on The NathmjaIi TcmuifB from Jan
uary 1, 18S3, to December 27, 1833, inclusive, is re
ceived, and in reply would say that the books of
this office show the amount paid within tho above
dateis to be 9,&17.74.
Yery respectfully,
FitAKK B. Co-sous, Postmasler.
The increase in the amount of postage
paid by Tjje National Tutbdxk "during
1883 over that paid in 1882 was, therefore,
$G,003.8G, or $1,458.32 more than tho total
increase of receipts from all newspapers as
j stated by the postmaster in his annual re
port, showing that there was an fkctual
decrease in postage receipts from; other
"Washington newspapers of precisely that
amount 1,458.32.
Uor is that all, for upon comparing the
amount of postage paid during the past year
by Tjie National Tiubune $9,647.7
with the total paid byainVashington news
papers $17,810.16 it will he seen that ihe
former paid more than Dae-half of the entire
sum! . '"?"''
tTbe significant of "this fact will he even
mpre apparent, however, if' we reduce this
postage paid by The MltJostal TBrBTjirE
to its equivalent in circulation. Dividing
$9,047.74 by the jate per pound two cents
we have 482,387 pounds (241 tons) of
National Tjeibunes as the total sent
through the mails during the year, and
dividing this again by the weight of 1,000
copies 130 pounds wo have 3,710,660 as
the equivalent in single copies of the gross
weight, or an average of 71,358 copies
weekly! From these figures our readers
will see how rapid, steady, and substantial
tho growth of Tlte National Tribune
has been and what a leading position it
occupies as the champion of their interests.
Its circulation to-day is 76,000 copies per
week.
The publication of the opening chapters
of our new serial story, "The Gray and the
Blue," by Lieutenant-Colonel E. E. Boe,
announced for this week's issue of The
National Tribune, is unavoidably post
poned for another week. Meanwhile, those
who contemplate joining our circle of readers
should hasten to send in their subscriptions,
so as not to miss the beginning of this fasci
nating narrative.
TrE must again caution the public against
entrusting their subscriptions to The Na
tional Tribune to persons with -whose
financial responsibility they are not ac
quainted. Our attention has lately been
called to the fact that J. H. Winanz, falsely
representing himself to be an authorized
agent of The National Telbune, has col
lected quite a number of subscriptions in
New York city, of which he has rendered
no account to this office, and for their own
protection, therefore, new subscribers should
take care not to entrust their subscriptions
to any person who is notpersonally known, to
them to be thoroughly honest and trust
worthy. -
Two stalwart Confederates invaded the
.office of The National Tribune last
week, but not with sanguinary intent. They
were Messrs. Fox and Morris, members of
Uobcrt E. Dee Camp, of Richmond, Va., and
their mission was the solicitation of dona
tions for the fair which the Camp is shortly
to hold for the replenishment of its treasury.
So far, they have met with gratifying suc
cess, one of the first to respond to their
appeal being the doughty General B. F.
Butler, who telegraphed one of the members
to draw on him for fifty dollars. It is the
expectation that the Order will spread
through the South and be instumental in
relieving the necessities of many needy
Confederate veterans. Its obj ects are frater
nal and charitable solely, politics being
rigidly excluded from its meetings, and no
countenance being given tp anything that
smacks of a revival of sectional feeling.
A PERSONA! letter' from- Mrs. Prfc?7i:
Barker, of the "Woman'ssRelief Corps, brings j
us the gratifying intelligence that affairs at
National Headquarters are in perfect shape.
The supplies on hand are sufficient to meet
any exigency, and notwithstanding the ex
pense involved in the revision and printing
of the Ititnal, the Bules and Regulations,
and the various blanks required for the or
ganization of Corps- and Departments, the
Order has been able to get along without any
outside aid. General Robert B. Beath, Commander-in-Chief
of the Grand Army, during
his visit to Boston, on "Wednesday of last
week, spent some time with the national
officers, and expressed himself as greatly
pleased with the results of their work.
The Massachusetts Department, after which
the National Order was modeled, will hold
its annual convention at Boston, on Tues
day and "Wednesday of next week the 29th
and 30th insts.
"We are happy to announce that Harriet
Dada, now Mrs. Evans of Syracuse, N. Y.,
one of the most celebrated nurses of the
Eastern and "Western armies, whose duties
began in caring for the wounded of the first
battle of Bull Eun, fought on that memora
ble Sunday, July 21, 1861, and ceased only
with the closing of the hospitals at Chatta
nooga, the middle of Septenrber, 18G5, has
engaged to write a series of interesting remi
niscences for The National Tribune, to
begin in an early number. Miss Dada's
more than four years of devoted and untir
ing service in hospital and on the field,
began in that dark stone building at Alex
andria, formerly a seminary, where the Bull
Eun wounded, covered with blood and lying
for days in theirdusty unifoi-mSjhad scarcely
a contraband to lift a cup of water to their
lips until she and her companion, Miss Hall,
came to their relief. From that time for
ward she gave her entire energies to her
labors, her previous experience as a mission
worker among the Indians of the Southwest
having prepared her for the hardships and
discouragements to be faced. Typhus fever
in the hospitals of Alexandria taxed their
efforts lo theiitmost. Then came the bat
tle of "Winchester; tho horrible scenes of
the retreat of General. Banks at Strasburg;'
Armory Square Hospital work at Washing
ton; the second battle of Bull Eun; Har
per's Ferry Hospital, Aniiefcam, Acquia
Creek, Gettysburg, Murfrcesboro, and Chat
tanooga. The character of the service she
Tvas called npon to perform will be recog
nized as we read m u "Woman's "Work in
the Civil War," that in tbe,hosp$al in which
Harriet Dada served at Chattanooga, from
seven hundred beds in the month of June,
1864, two hundred and sixty-one brave boys
were carried to their last long rest. The
series promised will be a' valuable contribu
tion to the history of the war.

About Peoplo and Things.
General Beale, of Washington, a life-long
friend of General Grant, has just returned from
a visit to tho latter at New York. Ho says
Gpneral Grant was very badly injured, but no
bones wore broken. Ho simply saCercd a ter
rible bruiso. Tho day General Bealo saw him
ho was, for the first time, moving about on
cratches, and felt fatigued in consequence. Ho
says of tho injury that it wa3 caused by falling
heavily upon tho edge of tho stono step, ac
cording to tho coachman, although the Gen
eral himself thought he simply cam down
fiat on the pavement, which was covered with
ico. Ho says nothing more serious will result
than the slow recovery from, such a severo
bruiso incident to a man of General Grant's
age.
The General, says his friend, takes tho live
liest interest in public affairs without express
ing any opinion as to who should bo nominated
for President. Ho simply hopes that it will be
someono who, if elected, will prove equal to
-the high position. Ho desires, above all else,
that tho country should rnovo onward in pros
perity and peace.
General Sherman says he doesn't want to bo
President. J ho has to spend four years in
purgatory, he says, ho would ?ather run the
risk of it in tho next world. "If thoy want
one of tho family," he is reported to have re
marked, "let them take John."
Congressman Cannon, of Illinois, is tho
father of the proposition, which was carried out'
'last year, to appropriate enough money for tho
1,2Q0 or 1,300 additional clerks in tho Adjutaut
Geuerai's Ofuce and tho Pension Office to
hurry up tho examination of tho pension cases.
As a leading, member of the committee on
appropriations, ho is in a position to be of much
Eervico to tho old Eoldiers. I asked him yes
terday what he thought of tho proposition to
pension the prisoners of war. Saidhe: "Iamin
lhvor of it. So many of these men, who no doubt
now deserve a pension, have great difficulty in
proving that their disability arises from their
military Eervice. Owing to just this cause, I
am in favor of presuming that any man who
was kept penned up in these places suffered
such physical disability as to entitle him to
a pension. A man may safely bo presumed
to have been pretty well up to his work if he
was captured. The chances wero in favor of
tho escape of the fellows who ran away early,
it seems to me. I am satisfled that a man was
intho 'line of duty' if he 3tood there till he
was captured. Of coarse, he cannot set a hos
pital record from Andersonvillo or Belle Isle.
It's all a mockery to ask it. I am for taking a
common-sense view of the matter and putting
them on the Tolls."
' What do you think," I asked, of Ingalls
proposition to remove the time limitation from,
the arrearage of pensions act?"
"I am in favor of that also. I take it that
that is tho only logical view of the matter. A
man began to earn his pension the day he
was wounded not when he was able to com
plete liis proof."
The Christian Church, a memorial of Presi
dent GarSdd, was dedicated in Washington
last Sunday. The edifice, a fine brick of im
posing proportions, stands where tho little
wooden building was which Garfield attended
for so many ycara, and whe'ro Gniteau went to
ahoothim once, but desisted for fear he might
hit some one else. The erection of a new church
was talked of at once upon Garfield's election,
and he wrote tthe pastor about it in these
words : "I am glad to hear that the woTk Is to
be undertaken, afid in answer to your inquiry
I beg to offer bnt one suggestion, and that is,
that our brethren do not undertake to build
too large a house. Let us keep-within our
means, and also avoid anything like ostenta
tion, either in size or decoration. "Let it he. a
neat, modest church, of under size rather than
jfe
over size."
s
Minister Eomero got ahead of the Senate last
Thursday night in a very clever manner. Ho
is a dark-skinned, restless man, who is said
never to sleep. It looks as if the acensatioa
were true at any rate, for he is always at work.
Thursday, when It became uncertain abont the
ratification of the commercial treaty, a friend
sent him a note, which he received in tho
evening, expressing the fear that it would fail.
He went at onco to Secretary Prelinghuysen's,
and in an hour had made and exchanged a
new convention with the "United States, by
which the commercial treaty was given four
months more of life. The next morning his
action was indorsed by the President of Mexico
by telegraph, and nothing was said about it.
That afternoon, however, the Senate declined
to take definite action on the treaty and ad
journed over to Monday to let it die by limita
tion a decent death, as they supposed it would
on Sunday. Some of them called to express
their condolence with Mr. Eomcro that night.
They regretted it had failed. Ho told them
they need not bo concerned. Tho matter would
bo before them for four months yet, so there
would bo plenty of time for deliberation. It is
said that one or two gentlemen who fear to
vote as thoy would like to, if the doors are
thrown open, wero made very uneasy by the
coup d'etat of the diplomat. Heretofore the
doors have been closed, but so much has been
Eaid about going into executive session for tho
discussion of a purely commercial matter that
tho chances are the galleries will bo opened
when it is taken np again. If so, it is bolieved
tho treaty will be ratified.
Tho discussion of "cold tea" in the Senate,
last week, set all tho boys in tho restaurant
down stairs grinning. One of tho attaches of
the place was very communicative that after
noon, and ran on without let or hindrance, gos
siping about great men. Said ho: "The Sen
ators are a queer lot. Somo of thorn spend
money like dirt; some never "let go a cent.
Some of them eat three or four times a day,
and some never eat, but come down regular for
'a cup.' The best customer we ever had was
Don Gameron. His hill wonld bo three or
four hundred dollars a month. I have chalked
down as high as eighteen quart bottles of wine
to him in one afternoon. If there wore a night
session, he was suro to give a dinner party
down here, and it was a snap for tho restaurant.
The Democrats don't spend as much as tho
Eepublicans now. There's McPherson, he's
pretty good, and so is Pendleton, but most of
them do very little with us. There's Jones,
of Florida, now ; ho never eats, but every little
while ho comes down and takes ' a enp stnnd
atthe counter. Logan is a quiet eater. He
comes down alone, generally, and takes a bowl
of milk and a couple of hard biscuit. Ho is
not rich, and never throws money aronnd, but
he alwilVK jhvps fhn hmrs n dimn Tl.a mncf
moucy wo over sec, old Morrill takes ont. He
never has anything chalked -up. Ho goes
slowly down into an iusido vest pocket and
draws a long wallet, which is jammed full of
bills. He soetnj always to have hundreds of
dollars in that old wallet, and is as careful of
handling it a3 though it wero a baby. The
biggest bills wo get to cliango come from Saw
yer. The old gentleman will waddlo up to
pay a fifty-cent check and throw down ajaun
dred dollar bill for us to break. But of all tho
customers, tho funniest was the old judge."
Hero the man could not restrain him?clf, and
stopped his reuuuiscouces to andero a con
vulsion oi laughter.
"Old Judge David Davi3," hesresumsd, "was
the fun most customer you oversaw. Hoalways
shaved his check. You know bo's worth three
or four millions of dollars, and ho means to
keep it. He wonldgot-clghty-five cents' worth
of lunch, and when ho would come up to pay
would throw down a dollar bill and suy : ' Here,
boy, give mo a quarter.' Ho knew that .there

tho bill was sixty cents he would say : 'Hero,
boy, give mo the half-dollar r change.' Ho
"would drop tho 'change down into his great
pantaloons pocket and say, Give mo one of

A SWISS NEWSPAPER,
And How It Reflects the Character
of the People.
Special Correspondence National Tribune.
Zubich, Dec 31, 1S83.
Tho active life of Zurich expresses itsolf in
tho press, in a form so compact as to bo easily
grasped; for thoro is one paper consecrated to
advertisements and a summary of news, well
selected and compactly stated, without edito
rial comment. There being no editorial influ
ence in this sheet, the daily lifo of Zurich may
be supposed to mirror itself here without other
distortion than such as may, perhaps, work
negatively through tho suppression of adver
tisements thought injurious, or opinions hold
to be obnoxious. This sheet is tho TttgHatt der
Stadt Zurich, which appears in a daily issue of
four or eight pages, but on Saturday sud
denly bursts forth, with supplements, which
bring it to sixteen or twenty pages, and con
tain for the "citizen of tho world" much food
for reflection.
The Tagblatl is ihe organ of tho official life
of Zurich, and tho first page is adorned with
notices of taxes duo and bankrupt sales; of
school directors' elections and reports of build
ing inspectors; with general prohibition of
sleding on sidewalks, and a special permission
for school children to coast down Carnation
and Scarecrow alleys. Under the head " Official
Notices" come, side by side, weddingannounce
ments, tho injunctions of the Board of Health
with reference to street cleaning, and the ad
vertisements of rival candidates for the pulpit
of tho Protestant chapel of Zollikow, ono of
the suburbs of Zurich.
Other announcements of the incidents of lifo
in Zurich arc as follows : "To our friends and
acquaintances wo make tlie sad announcement
that our dear mother, mothor-in-law, sister,
annt and grandmother, Mra. Julio von Fischer
(born von Michlowsky;, after short severo suf
fering, departed this life this morning. We
bespeak for the dear departed one, your friendly
thonght. (Signed) The deeply monrning sur
vivors." Another formula is headed, " Grate
ful acknowledgment," and reads as follows:
"For tho many proofs of heartfelt sympa
pathy during tho long illness and at the funeral
of our dear mother, grandmother, and mother-in-law,
tho widow Elizabeth Aeberli (born
Somracr), tho mourning survivora are deeply
grateful." Still another: "In deep sorrow we
make known the fact, in this way alone, that
Almighty God has this morning released from
prolonged suffering our dear father, John Jakob
Ackeret. We ask, on behalf of tho dear sleep
ing one, friendly thought, and for ourselves si
lent sympathy."
LONO-FELT WANTS.
Of a very different tone are the advertise
ments for husbands and wives. Tho following
is a fair sample of these advertisements, and
gives a not unjnst idea of the business-like as
pect in which marriage is viewed amons the
thrifty Swiss: "Proposal of marriage. A vig
orous widower, fifty years old, without chil
dren, possessing a good and profitable tail
ors' trade and some thousand francs, wishes
to become acquainted with a worthy, domestically-inclined
elder daughter or wid
ow, with no ono dependent upon her,
who has learned tha tailm tradn anfl
possesses some means, in order to marry her
as soon as possible. Address H. H. Winthur,
poste restante." So too "A young Swiss
merchant, established in a large city in South
Italy, able to promiso a secure and care-free
maintenance, wishes to make tho acquaintance
of a Swiss lady, not more than twenty-six years
old, of good Protestant family. Ladies of good
education and domestic tastes, inclined to a
happy marriage, are requested to send photo
graph and exact statement of means." The state
ment of means, in relation to an offer of mar
riage, is a universal and conventionally accept
ed part of the ceremony; for in Switzerland the
only road to comfort, or even to a decent main
tenance in old age, is strict economy, begun in
early youth, and carried consistently into every
department of life, AH Svss society is based
upon simple living, and in the working classes
a degree of calculation and foresight is abso
lutely necessary, which to the American work
ing man's family wouhl seem tho extreme
limit of grinding poverty.
The remaining pages of tho current Tagblatl
might in general be said to bo filled with
advertisements of educational affairs; of places
of eating and drinking; of wares, and amuse
ments. Tho educational advertisements men
tion fewer schools and private teachers than
would be found under like circumstances in an
American paper; for the excellence of tho pub
lic schools removes tho work of education from
private hands. But other educational institu
tions fill un vast snacea. For inrf-nnro tho.
Pestalozzi Institution appeals Tor toys and
Christmas treasures for its boys, and asks for
public inspection an institution dear to
Zurich, student-home of Pestalozzi. There is
a lecture on the newest developments of uses
for electricity; there aro divers lectures upon
Zwingli alone, and Luther in connection with
Zwingli. The Society for Investigations in
Natural Science offers discussions of thelast new
things in geometry and tho composition of
molasses (!) and Mr. Jean Eieser will teach
English in one month to emigrants going to
America. Tho School Exposition calls attention
to its library of books for tho young, which
has been made by a special commission, and i3
open daily to the public A suggestion is
offered,too, that Christmas presents for chil
dren might be made more valuable by careful
referencs to its catalogue. The evangelical
society calls attention to its editions of Bibles,
plain, with pictures, with concordances, with
all the appliances made accessible by the help
of the British Bible Society.
Tho best intellectual lifit of Zurich is natur
ally not advertised in tho Tagblatt. Every an
nouncement of the varioas forms of anxiiiary
euucational influences happens, however, to be
characteristic of Zurich and tho Zurich people ;
and, with ono or two exceptions, every form of
activity hero advertised might well be fostered
at home. Tho interest taken in Zurich in the
literature which children read is iHnstratedby
the iiict that cheap editions of translations of
tho best English and American authors, besides
the works of Gorman writers of tho highest
reputation, are put in the way of the Swiss'
boy's pocket-money as universally as we let
dime novels and tho whole vast literature of
violence and wild adventure beset the Ameri
can boy. Perhaps no part of tho Swiss life is
more worthy our careful thought than just this
ono advertisement of the Swiss School Expo
sition Society's library and catalogue of books
suitable for childhood and youth.
SUNDAY BEHB AND aiUSIC.
As to tho places for eating and drinking, and
the amusements, these are closely united and
must bo -viewed together. AU through tho
Week tho community is sedate and laborious,
tho very children working nearly all day Jong,
in school and out of it. But on Sunday tho
community indemnifies itself for tho severity
of tho week by a varied assortment of amuse
ments, of which church-going is tho least uni
versally approved. Tho men of Zurich may bo
said not to go to church. The women of Zu
rich go at 9 o'clock to a short service, aftor
which they are prepared to join the gentle
men of their families in any of a number of
distractions. Tho advertisements of chnrch
services are hard to find m the TagUattT for
they fill buL paTt of a column, and aro bare offi
cial notices of tho hour and placo of service
and the relation of church life to the real life
of the community is well typified in the pro
portion of these notices to tho whole of the
Tagblatt. But the other occupations of Sunday
arc proclaimed in lanro camfaT .T t,i
arc procmuned m largo capitals and broad
spaces, and they havo much to do with tho
drinlring of wine and beer and the eating of
sausage and saner kraut. For instance, the cur
rent Tagblatl contains iuit3 twenty pages, by
actual count, no less than five-and-thirty ad
vertisements of what we should call in America
taverns. These am quite separate from the
establishmiJnts, whoso narao is legion, in
which liquors are sold for consumption off the
premises. They aro simply places to which
men and won n go to sit and drink beer or
wine', sometimes with tho additional pleasure
ofllKirinfy Tim-sir bnf. mrvrf nfffm wr?f1 nnntti
accompaniment than clouds of smoke from the
pipes and cigars of tho masculine portion of
tue company. Of these five-and-thirry adver
tisements, moreover, eighteen add to their
other attractions largo capitals inviting to a
free dance. Now, at tho most recherche balls
known to Zurich, daucing is an exorcise of a
somowhat violent and ungracefnl nature, and
tho sort of dancing which ftfrnis an attraction
of theso eighteen cafes and taverns is, there
fore, readily imagined. Althongh therei3 little
druukenness in Zurich, the traces arc evident
on all sides of that physical deterioration which
follows the ns of beer as constant substitute
for food; and on Sunday there is, in additioa
to thi3, much of tha atmosphere la Zurich to
which New York, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, and
St. Louis aro accustomed in connection with.
the Schutzenfest of the German population.
Thoro is no disorder; but there-is an unpleas
ant consciousness that a targe part of tho com
munity has voluntarily diminished the clear
nesaof its intellect and the strength of its wilL
and that tho recreation which has been chosea
has not contributed to the soundness of th
community in body or mind. There ara other
Sunday recreations cultivated in Zurich to
which it would bo difficult to offer any valid
objection. Sack aro tho fine classical concert
of the afternoon, and tho admirable presenta
tion of German classic dramas in the oveuing,
at the town theater. But it may be doubted
whether Sunday as at present used dnringnln
months of the year i3 not a causa of moreharra
than good in Zurich.
Music i3 a very largo factor in the lifo of
Zurich, for the school instruction ia good, and
the Conservatory of Music of this little Swiss.
wwu wuniu oe cause ox ioho. seu-grawmswrt
in almost any American aity. The wiolo- pop
ulation is moroor las musically susaepiibla,
as 13 shown by tho numerous operas brought
out in the courso of the nine month's len?
opera season by tho excellent orchestra, which
divides its performances between the theater
and the Ton Halle, and by theseveraly efcutfoal
programme of the favorite coneerte, which
com in quick succession. Accordingly, th
Taghlatt has flaring advertisements of tho Sun
day concert of the GirFs Chorus; of tho Con
cordia Volunteer Chorus, and of the Ton Holla
Orchestra. And nearly all tho restoerants
which do not offer free dancing offer music as a
Sunday attraction. Tho Sunday amateur
dramatic entertainments are conspicuous afeo,
among which tho Catholic Apprentices Asso
ciation offers to the public tha play rtNfec
medes; or, Tho Soman Martyrs of tho First
Christian Century."
Such is the active daily lifo of Zurich as ii
expresses itself in daily print life rondo up ol
birth and school-life, of work and ploy, of
marriage and widowhood and death. Bat it is
a yery simple life, with little display of wealth,
with much simple amusement and much, very
much, grinding poverty and wearing toil.
Moreover, the Zurich life is penetrated and
ennobled by a certain something which dis
tinguishes it from other European communi
ties, making it more resemble the life of tho
towns of Northern England and of New Eng
land than the communities by which it is sur
rounded. This is the fina public spirit of a
free people accustomed to self-government, and
to private sacrifie for the public good, tho
spirit which finds It3 embodiment in the fiho
university and noble schools of Zurich, and
which digifies tho life and character of tha
humblest individual citizen- F. EL

Tha Kind Colonel of the tHKh Pennsylvania.
To tho Editor Nationjx Tiobons:
In yonr isaiie of December 27th I notice, tha
announcement of the death of Col. Thos. Davfe,
of tho GQth Pennsylvania volunteers. I was a
member of his regiment feomnaovl). and to,
his consider:; tion and kindness I doubtless owe
my life. On the ISth of Juue, 1S64, our regi
ment participated :nthe desperate assftult on
the enemy's works before Petersburg. The rebel
fire was very hot, and we frequently were com
pelled to lie down till It ceased, afterwstds.ri3
ing and advancing again. During one of thesa
moves I was wounded, and the colonel, who
was straightening the lines of the regiment at
the time, seeing me drop back, walked down
the line and said : " See here, young raaa, you
nretwonnded, and yon had bettor get to tha
rear whila you can." Then, taking tho straps
from my knapsack, he bound np my wounded,
leg with his own hands, and with a word of
cheer bado me good-bye. Shortly artorwanl3 a
member of my own company carried me in hia
arms to tha rear, and I was sooa resting rifely ?
on a stretcher. This though tfnlness was char
acteristic of the colonel, although it may be
said with truth that the boys of the 63th Pcn- ,
sylvania wera all trae as steel to each other. v
