I have seen the day, and it has not been loner, when I thought - - r>" maybe tho Stat# had made a mistake in pensioning tho old soldiers; but that day has passed. After seeing and coming in contact, as 1 saw and cam? in contact Monday, with the applicants for pension* in this county?widows aged, poor, and some of them palsied air! on tho verge of tho grave; men old, crippled, and hearing every evidence of poverty and hardship-after this 1 don't care how much the State may give them. . /. -v. -V The it# are several thousand dollars in the treasury belonging to the county sinking fund for retiring Chsraw & Cheater R R. bonds which it aeema to me should he loaned?either to the Bank of Lancaster, or to the county itself instead of the county borrowing from the State sinking fund.

Cowes, Jau 22, 1 a. m.?Au ; other day in thu Victorian era, now 1 ho rapidly drawing to a clone, paused without any great change in the condition of Queen Victoria. Despite the favorable afternoon the doctors dreaded greatly the period between 6 o'clock and mid- 1 night.

THE WOULD IN SYMPATHY. London, Jan. 22. ?The dispatches received here from nearly every capital in Europe, from India, Australia, Jamaica and hII the British colonies, show the press [ and people to be sympathetic in their comment on the Queen's illness. The one exception seems ! t? be Belgium. A majority of the J Brussels comment is in good taste; ! but, one pro Boer paper there I take* the occasion to make a political attack on (neat Britain's South African policy. A dispatch from Pretoria saya the Queen's illness has caused a profond sensation there. Special prayers were offered in all the churches of the garrison towns yesterday evening. 1 Many functions in Great Britain | ami on the continent have been ' abandoned owing to the Queen's condition. Emperor F'rancis 1 Joseph has countermanded the court tall, nt Vienna, fixed for this evening. The Daily Telegraph says: "li > seems but ? brief interval since England was the center of almost universal hostility. Today all in- ' 1 temntional hostilities are hushed ' and stilled as thrv never were before by any single event in the I annals of the world.' i The Dailv Chronielo observes: ; "In the united States the nation and the government display once again the ^irrepressible seatiment of a cognate people. Ths strain of common blood which fl ws in llritish and American voins has been rarely more manifest or more wnrinly recognized. This evidence of universal aympathy extended toward England in lier hour of trouble is in fact #lw.
