NEW PENSION LAW.
The new pension law having
complicated matters it is doubt
ful if pensioners receive their
money before August. The Co
lumbia Register has this to say
anent the matter:
fThe wholo machinery of the Pen
sion Department has to be done
over by reason of the new law and
while there was a great deal of
kicking last year over delayi,
there .'. likely to be a mighty
howl this year. But it can't be
helped.
The following is a brief synopsis
of the law :
. 1. The surviving soldiers and
efl^CuWctefTTCy* Of the State du
ring the late war between the
States are to meet on . a conve
nient day prior to May, 1897, in
-fcflSTseveral townships of this State,
and after organizing by the emo
tion of a chairman and secretary,
shall elect by a majority vote three
of their members or reputable cit
izens who are not applicants for
pensions, who sha'l constitute
the examining board of pensions
for each township.
2. The township boards are to
elect one of their members as
chairman.
3. All applications for pensions
are to be made to the township
boards whose duty it shall be to
decide to which class the appli
cant belongs.
4. The several township boards
are to meet before the first Monday
in May, 1897, for the purpose of
considering applications, and with
in ten days thereafter the County
examining board shall meet to
settle all disputes and contests.
5. In selecting pensioners from
among the applicants, tho board
shall have regard to their physical
condition and financial means, al
lowing to each applicant so se
lected the sum of $6, $4, and $8
per month, as they may be enti
tled to under the law.
6. The members of the township
boards are to serxe without com
pensation.
7. The chairman of the town
ship boards are to meet at the coun
ty seat within ten days after their
own election, and shall organize
by electing a chairman and secre
tary. When organized they are
to elect four of their members
and a regular practicing physi
cian, who are to constitute the
county examining board, which is
to meet on the first Monday in
May, 1897.
8. The members of the County
Boards are to receive $1 per dav
and 5 cents per mile one way, the
per diem and mileage not to ex
ceed $8 each in a year.
8. The pensions are to be paid
not later than June 15."

THE MISSISSIPPI RAGING.
The situation in the Mississippi
Talley continues serious. The river
is still rising and the floods in
creasing in volume and destruc
tive force. The river is rising at
the rate of half a foot per day and
already a territory has been en
gulfed equal in area to the whole
State of Missouri. Millions of dol
lars have already been lost by the
flood.
Advices from Cairo, Paducah,
Memphis and Helena show that
the region beginning north of New
Madrid, Missouri, west to and in
cluding the valleys of the St. Fran
cis, the White and the Arkansas
rivers in Arkansas, east in
Kentucky and Tennessae, the val
leys of the Tennessee, the Cache,
the Obion and the Yazoo rivers,
and south to the Red river are un
der water. The intervening ranges
of hills and high ?round are the
only place of refuge. The dis
patches received tell but one
story-lives lost, stock drowned
and a country desolated. At Cairo,
Illinois., the river roached 5.9
and rising slowly, which is but
one foot short of the high record
of 1883. All the country south of
there to lujmpbis is submerged.
A relief steamer from the flats be
low Bird's Point brought in four
families. It is reported that a flat
boat, containing a number of peo
ple was sunk at Island No. 10.
All the coal fields in the valley of
Forked Deer river in Tennessee
are under water. The Memphis
Relief association has five boals
at work. These boats go to points
that aie 20 miles from streams
navigable in ordinary stages of
water. The unanimous opinion
of St. Louis river men is that con
ditions must become worse before
there can be permanent relief.
They say that numerous breaks in

The Cuban forces continue to

While the republicans are ar
ranging a protective tariff it would
be well for them not to slight the
product of any section. Congress
man McLaurin, of South Carolina,
has demanded that a duty of 2A
conts per pound be placed on cot
ton, which is imported in large
quantities from Egypt and other
countries. McLaurin failed to se
cure protection for cotton, but the
project has not bet-u given up and
the Southern farmer may yet be
happy.
ONE OF THE MEAN ONES.
Might Havo Been Mean Enough to Hav?
Stolen Hia Inheritance.
Four or five preachers, at a preachers'
meeting, or, rather, after the meeting
was over, were discussing some of tho
peculiar people they had been brought
into contact with during their various
pastorates.
"The very meanest man I ever knew, "
said a paster, whose nasal twang be
trayed bis Yankee origin, "was a mar
ried man. though, us a rule, the really
meanest mon aro bachelors for obvious
reasons.
"This party was fairly well to do
and expected to be enriched by the death
of au old uncle to the extent of at least
$100,000. He was a man of about 45
and was, on the surface, an extremely
pious kind of a mau, with strict ideas
of biblical interpretations. At this time
tho rich old uncle-a millionaire, by
the way-was approaching the scrip
tural limit of human existence-three
score and ten-and his pious nephe"7
had begun ?o -j^ure ou v ??i t he was go
ing to do with bis share of tho old man's
fortune. The latter, however, did not
hold to scriptural interpretations, but
held on until he was 91 years old. Then
he departed, and as per expectation,
when the estate was stitt led np the pious
nephew received $100,000, more or less.
"He ought to have been satisfied, of
course, but he wasn't, and after mouth
ing around about bis hard luck, he
finally capped the climax by suing the
trustees of the residue of the estate,
which had been willed to charity, for
the interest on $100,000 at 6 percent
for the time that elapsed between the
three score and ten limit and the date of
the death of his uncle, a period of 21
years 8 mouths, the whole amount of
interest being $127,500. He even went
so far as to swear that 6 per cent was
too low, and that he could have got
8 right along for the whole time if
the old mau had died when the Bible
said he ought to die. Being in the fam
ily, however, he was willing to discount
the rate of interest 25 per cent Now,
did you tier hear of anything worse
than that?"
And not a maa there did.-Wash

NATURE AS AN ARTIST.
Stone Formation! on Which Were Found
Some Wonderful Picture?.
Pliny, a well known writer of about
the time of Christ, mentions havii:::
seen an agate the lines and markings of
i which formed a perfect pic ivra of Apollo
and the nine muses. Pliny says that the
little children recognized it on sight
lu this wonderful natural picture, aa
well as the artificial drawings, Apollo
was represented seated in the midst of
the muses, harp in band.
Majolus, another writer of high stand
ing, saw au agate in the collection of a
jeweler at Venice which, when polish
ed, showed a perfect picture of a shep
herd with a crook in hand and cloak
thrown loosely over his shoulders.
In the church of St. John, at Pisa,
Italy, there is a piece of stone heavily
marked with red, blue and yellow spar,
the lines representing an old man with
heavy white beard, with a bell in his
hand, seated beside a small stream. To
the worshipers at St. John's it is known
as the St. Anthony stone, the picture
upon it being a perfect likeness of that
saint, even to the minor details of tunio
and bell.
lu 1605 some quarrymen in Italy
burst open a slab of marble, both sides
of which contained au image of St. John
the Baptist covered with the skin of a
camel. Everything was true to nature
-a single exception, the saint had only
been provided with one leg and foot.
How, when or upon what pretext the
Turka were allowed to gain possession
of the wonderful relic the writer's au
thority fails to state. It only adds that
the miraculous production is now in the
temple of St. Sophia at Constantinople.
Directly after the great Johnstown
flood D. S. Wingrove, superintendent of
tho marble yard at the penitentiary at
Baltimore, found a slab of marble with
lines and veins which made a perfect
picture of the fated city of Johnstown
and tho surronndiug country Thc sky
is plainly marked, e.s are also the hills
and mountains surrounding the town.
Piles upon piles of ruins are marked,
with an occasional steeple or toppling
wall overhanging the scene of awful de
struction. Taken all in all, the scien
tists consider it one of the most wonder
ful natural formations over found in
America.-Brooklyn Eagle

As a, Cedar motor and trailer approach
ed Wilson avenue recently a woman was
noticed dodging about the middle of the
street. She was evidently hesitating as
to which way to go, but finally crossed
to the south track and stood there.
"Crossover to the other side 1" roared
a group of men on the corner.
"Look out for the carl" screamed a
woman on the sidewalk.
The motorman clanged his bell and
shouted, and the woman dodged out of
harm's way. Then, as the train slowed
dowu, she trotted alougsido of the trail
er.
"Her?, where are you?" shouted the
conductor.
In answer to the appeal the woman
suddenly appeared around the rear of
the trailer and put one foot on the step.
Then she changed her mind and trotted
to the front end of the car. Here she
climbed up and came iu the front door.
The conductor snapped the bell, and the
train started suddenly, tumbling the
newcomer on to a fat man. As she
straightened up she said:
"This car is goiug to Fairmount
street, isn't it?"
"No, ma'am," replied the conductor,
"it's going right tho other way."
"There, I just thought it was!" cried
the woman. " Bnt you all yelled at me
so that I got confused. I don't want to
go on this car. Let me off. "
So the conductor let her off at the
next stopping place, and the last the
passengers saw of her she was standing
on the wrong side of the street waiting
for an eastward bound car.-Cleveland
Plain Dealer.
Testing Coal.
An apparatus by which an engineer
may test or determine the quality and
adaption of the coal he receives is de
scribed in the Boston Journal of Com
merce. The test is not intended to be an
analysis, but principally to show thc
amount of fixed carbon in the coal and
the percen tage of ash. As each carload
is received samples are taken from 20 or
more parts of the car, thoroughly mixed
and quartered, each quarter being also
mixed and quartered until the sample is
obtained. This sample is then carefully
weighed, the volatile matter driven off.
weighed again, and the carbon consumed,
and the ash weighed This estimate is
important in guarding against the use
of coal having au undue percentage of
aeh. The various coals differ in the per
centage of ash which they contain, some
Cumberland coals having from 12 to 14
per cent of ash, while a good New river
will have as low as 8 or 4 per cent.
Thus, though the coals may look alike
to the average engineer, the heat value
characterizing them is 10 per cent great
er in one description than the other,
and, ascertaining this, an important
saving in the cost of fuel may result .

A SOLDIER OF TRUTH.
A VETERAN'S VALUABLE ADDITION
TO WAR LITERATURE.
How an Odd Signal Agreed Upon by
Brothers, Who Were on Opposite Side n,
Was Finally Uiied-A Mystery the Old
Soldier Didn't Iry to Explain.
As the reporter was rapidly hurrying
past the door of a saloon he was met by
an old soldier, who suggestively tipped
his hat
"If you will tell me a story," re
marked the reporter, accepting the tip,
"I'll pay for the potations. I have a
thirst for a story; you have a thirst for
a drink. Let us exchange. "
The veteran was quick to respond, as
the parched soil responds to the grateful
rain, and, opening the door, he bowed
the reporter in aud escorted him to a ta
ble in a quiet corner, where presently
the potables were served.
"I don't think I could have earned
what I am now BO greatly and grate
fully enjoying," said the veteran, with
a glowing cheek, as he set down his
glass, after a long swallow, "had it not
been that today I met an old comrade
from Kentucky, a state, yon will re
member, which had soldiers in both
armies, and gocd soldiers, I may add.
This man, who is now a merchant and
comes to New York to buy goods every
year, was in the Federal army, and he
had a nephew in the same regiment
with himself and another in the Confed
erate army. The young chaps were
brothers, and they were mighty fond of
each other, but they were fonder of their
principles or patriotism or politics, or
whatever you may call it, so they agreed
to disagree, and eachfone go to tho aide
he thought was the right side.
"It was a sad parting, foi they had
been closer together than most brothers,
and before i hey separated they fixed up
a kind of signal ti) identify themselves
by, so that -f one waa wounded and left
on the field he could uotify the other if
it happened they were on the opposite
sides in that particular fight lt was a
boyish kind of a lottery chance of one
in a million, but it suited them, and
that's all they cared foi The signal ar
rangement was to be a light chain with
a note fastened to it, and the whole
thing was to be fastened to thc bullet
and dropped into the old muskets they
had in those days. This was tQ_b_e irr?el
at random up into the air to fall among
the soldiers of the opposite side to be
picked up a? it might and taken to the
man whose' address was in the note,
along with other instructions to -be fol
lowed out by the brother who might be
in condition to <?o it. You can .we how
childish and almost imposable it was,
but there v.us just that chance in it that
mane it attractive to the boys, and they
told each ether goodly and we :.t ihpir
ways, the one to the north, the other to
the south, each bearing with him his
chaiu and note cf identification attached
to the Lit of li ::? that some day might
bear on its wings thc m essa go of deal h. "
The veteran was becoming poetic and
pathetic, and the reporter tug;,'! Bred a
refilling cf thc glasses, nnd i l;c s\:{:gos
tion met with immediate and pleased
approval.
"For the first two years," continued
the veteran, "thc boys hadn't any occa
sion to usc their signals, ior they had
gone through unscathed, and, besides,
they were serving in sections of the
country widely separated, but in 1868,
in the fall, they were with the armies
fighting through Tennessee, though they
had lost track of each other except in a
general way. .
m?^?'TOfii?r^
where in the neighborhood of Knoxville,
in which 5l)0 or 600 men ou a 6ide were
engaged, without result, and both sides
had settled down for the night to wait
and fight it out by daylight. There
were a lot of wounded men, and dead
ones, too, for that matter, scattered
through the woods, where most of the
fighting had been. There was a cornfield
about a quarter of a mile wide separat
ing the woods, and there had been some
scrapping in this open ground, though
most of die fighting had been done from
cover, as these small skirmish line fights
geuerally are.
"I was corporal of the guard that
night, and by ? o'clock there was only
an occasional shot, as if each side was
quitting reluctantly and by inches. 1
am not positive, but it seems to methat
I heard thc loot two shots before still
ness settled over all. What the details
of the romance, or the tragedy, or what
ever you want to call it, are I .'jn't
know. I know, though, that during the
night we had re-enforcements, and when
we began to cautiously peep around, as
soon as the day began to break, we dis
covered that the enemy had by some
hook or crook taken alarm and departed
in the night, leaving their dead on the
field, and among them, when we sent
out our burying party, we round one of
those boys with a bullet through his
laug and another, bearing a chaiu and a
note, buripd tn his brain. On our side
we found the other nephew with both
legs broken by a ball and a bullet
through his heart, with a chain and
uote attached to it. "
The reporter threw up bis hands in
amazement, not to oay doubt
"I don't try to explain it. " the veter
an hastened to say apologetically. "I
know it is hard to explain. It is even
hard to believe, but what is a man to
do or to say when he sees such things
with his own eyes?"-New York Sun.
