A B. They had a great
gathering tn Boston
last week, and nearly
all the speakers yelled
1 for more pensions and
(bigger ones. Th
, speakers were all poll*
ticians, and the old
soldiers and all their
kinfolks have got votes
and want money,
politician will ride any
hobby to catch votes
don’t believe that the
solid people of the North, the business
men and the Tax payers, favor the pen
sion blonder, bat they can’t stop it. Taese
annual meetings of the G A. R., may
have a little patriotism, but are mainly
for politics and plunder. More than half
the Grand Army were foreign hirelings
and substitutes who fonght for the mon
ey and nothing elso, and these are the fel-
Iowb who are drawing most of the pen
sions. They were hospital rats and
camp followers and teamsters and got
sick easy and have played sick and dis-
ab'ed ever since.
Their numbers prove what a set they
were—nearly three million against seven
hundred thousand, and they have six
hundred thousand pensioners still alive
and kicking. Sam Jones, told them up
in Missouri that if our boys had have
known bow bad we were whipping them
they would have fought on until now.
“You fellers” said he, “are drawing all
the pensions andthats’ right. You fought
for money and you ought to have it. Our
boys fought for patriotism, for love of
their country and they've got that yet.
You never conquered it out of em and
you never will. So its alright, every sol
dler ought to have what he fought for.
Ttiat Is very floe sarcasm, but still I am
not happy as lot g as some of that pension
money comes out of me. If the war Is
over how many years must the South
pay out 40 millions of dollars to northern
pensions and draw none for her own.
If we coul 1 pick out the patriots who
rea ly needed a pension, we would not
say a word, but its a Northern outrage to
continue this busine-s. It is an outrage
on .he North as well as the South, and if
the Alliance dont stop it, it wont be
stopped. Tue Alliance can do some big
things If they will. Tee Nation can t
stand this extravagance. How can the
Tar ill he reformed and reduced with an
empty Treasury. Mr. C eveland left it
full but it is empty dow. Where is the
money to come from to build warehouses
-and advance SO per cent, upon the pro
duce. The average farm tenant buys a
i undred dollars worth of goods In a year
besides his meat aud bread. Of that
hundred Collars he pays 40 dollars in
tariff to the government at Washington,
but does not pay more than live dollars
in tax to his own state government.
Judge Wright was once a member of
CoDgress and told me in a whisper that
if tne farmers of this Country knew how
much tariff’ they paid on their bats and
shoes and clothing and axes and hoes
and plates and knlv s and forks and pa-
ptr and pens and lamps and kitchen
ware ana every other ware, they would
rise up to a man aud shoulder their mus
kets aud swear by the Eternal they
wouldn’t be safe to let them know it.
Judge Wright is on the side of the toil
ers, the bread winners and the farmers.
I wish it wassohecoudj.in the Alliarcs,
for I know that his heart is with them.
1 believe he would join if it was not for
that oath of secrecy.
A man tola me lie had joined and was
writing thunder and sh ;ec lightning for
the Alliance paper out I reckon he is
mistaken for 1 remember that about 35
years ago w-ea the Know Notoiog Party
was about to take thv country, the Judge
took me out behind the house and ai-
vlsed me as a friend to keep out of it for
it was contrary to the principles of a free
government to have a stcret oath bound
political organization. 1 didn't take his
advise but like a young fool joined them
and was sworn in one dark night
in the loft of Chambers’ mill house 5
mil- b from town and never got home till
after midnight and told my wire a story
about pressing business detaining me
down town, but next morning she got up
before I did and found flower and cob
webs all 07-r my clothes and I had to tell
her the truth and how we wer-. goiog to
keep any more foreigners from becoming
Cit zens of our great republic and onr
motto was that or W ashiugton who, the
night before a great battle said:
“P ,t n .ne but Americans on guard to-
Slight.’
But Aleck Stephens a dJ .dge Wright
took the field against our party because
it was secret and gave us hail Columbia
and broke it up. No, sir, Judge Wright
is no aliianceman. In his memorable
testimony before th - KuKlux committee
in July 71 >.e swore:
“I fought know uothingism from the
word go with ail the power 1 had in me
because it was a secret organization. I
never favored oat—never Masonry is
not a political organiz >tioD, but because
it wts secret X took out iny demit and
have not been in a lodge for twenty years.
I never counienaccsd, encouraged or fa
vored any secret organizations, ir I
could by a word I would disband every
one of them.”
No, sir, you cannot make me brileve
that Judge Wright belonged to the a 11-
ance. It must be ijomo other Wright, but
not “Our Gus.” Our Gas is an old “set-
tied” man. I like that word “settled.”
Uncle Sam says folks ain’t much account
until they get sett ed. He said he would
hunt us up a settled ’oman for a cook,
for these young* fly-up-the creeks”dlda’t
know their own minds and wouldn’t stay
anywhere long at a time.
Judge Wright is a “settled” man. But
It don't matter about the secre ?y if the
farmers will reform things. We want
them to turn tae ras als out of office
everywhere and begin a system of econo
my in government.
Reform the Tariff and educate the peo
ple so that they will know exactly what
the Tariff is, and how much it takes out
of their pockets to protect the manufac
turer, andm*> be they will stop it with
out the shot gun.
Bet every echool boy know how much
less his pocket knife would have c. st him
and he will raise a racket before he can

Just at the time frolicsome Fa; Tern
pleton was kicking her heels the highest
in the opening performance of “Hendrik
Hudson” at the Fourteenth street thea
tre tonight she wae ready to cry. When
her eyes were beaming their brightest,
when her mood seemed to be merriest,
her besom was weighted with a sorrow
that will not soon 6e removed. Twenty
thousand dollars’ worth of diamonds
bought by Mies Templeton’s ardent ad
mirer, Howell Osborne, which should
have blazed at her white throat, in her
hair, about her person and upon her
dainty fingers, were at that very time in
the c’utches of Uncle Sam's custom
house inspectors. Everyone who loves
diamonds can appreciate the distress oc
casioned by each a mishap. If Fay wept,
and it is said she did, eveiyone will say
she had good reason.
The story of Fay’s lost diamonds was
begun in Paris. Howell Osborne, that
rich, yonng gentlemanly “high to ler,”
whose ytarly Income is over {50 000, is at
present enjoying himself in tnat city,
and is staying at No. 101 Boulevard
Perelre. Everybody knows that Miss
Templeton ana Mr. Osborne have been
very close friends since 1886 It has bean
more than once rumored that Mr. Os
borne and Miss Templeton were to be
married, but for some reason the mar
riage has never been performed.
THEY QUARRELED IN PARIS.
Fay was in Farts up to two months
ago. It is said that she and Osborne in
dulged in one of their periodical quarrels,
and Mias Templeton, without bidding a
very affectionate farewell to Mr. Osborne,
packed her tranks, boarded a steamer
and came to America, arranging mean
while to produce her new comic opera.
Mr Osborne didn’t enjoy himself dar
ing Miss Templeton’s absence. Wishing
to bri ige the awfol chasm that her die
pleasure had caused, he purchased {20,
DOO worth of diamonds and put them up
in eight packages, which he ordered his
valet to deliver to FAy. Valet Herischy
was furnished with plenty of money,
and a ticket for a berth on the steamer
La Normandie, which left Havre six days
ago. The custom house officers boarded
the steamer at quarantine. Mr. Herischy
when questioned bv the officer as to
whether he had any dutiable goods abont
him, took an oath that he had not.
Tue steamship arrived at her do3k this
morning. Tne vaivet presented nis tick
et of entry to the surveyor’s staff officer
on the dock, and that gentleman sent an
Inspector to search his baggage. Noth
ing was found in the valise that Herischy
carried, and he was allowed to go.
THE DIAMONDS SEIZED.
Hi had gotten through the line of cus
tom-house inspectors, and was going up
the pier when two other inspectors hap
pened to look after him. They noticed
something heavy and bulky flapping ia
the coat tails of Herlschy’s coat. They
called him back and inquired what he
had stowed away in his pocket. Haris-
chy produced a package and exhibited
some ntrvousuess.
The inspectors took him back aboard
the steamship and removed the covering
of the package. It was found to contain
a solid gold vlnaigerette about three
inchis high and two inches in diameter.
On the top of it were Fay Templeton’s
initials set in twenty diamonds in Her
ischy s other pockets they found the
other packages of jewels.
Only four of the packages were opened.
Tnoso opened contained the following
articles: A gold watch about the size of
a nickel set with sixteen diamonds, a
crown shaped breast pin set with fifty
diamonds, aud havlug a largo pearl in
each of the spf ke3 of tue crowu, a brooch
iu the shape of a blown rose, containing
thirty five diamonds, a pair of solitaire
diamond sleeve buttons, a chatelaine
with a great numb r of diamonds, a beau
tiful point lues fan, with mother-of pearl
sices set with seven large diamonds, two
rubies aud a sapphire, and a moonstone
brooch set with twenty diamonds.
A small throat pin completed the Bat
of at tides opened, and it deserved spe
cial mention on account of it being
symbolical of Fay’s feelings. It has
been christened, and so it will be
known among the “Johnnies,” as the
* Sour Graphs pin.” It consisted of a
stem, on which wera four green grapes.
No one was able to say of what material
the grapes were made, but they looked
very sour, indeed. Tne stem was set
with diamonds.
THE VALET IN JAIL.
Herischy was taken to the room of As •
sistant District Attorney O'Connell, who
drew up a complaint charging him with
smuggling. He was then taken betore
Commissioner Shields, who committed
him to Ludlow street jail, in default of
{5,000 bail, for examination at 10 o’clock
today. The prisoner burst into tears,
and declared iu the most positive man
ner that he did not know wbat the pack
ages contained when they were given to
him by Osborne.
Hiriscby speaks E -lglish imperfectly.
“I took z i diamonds like one fool,” he
wailed.
Toe commissioners kindly sent a mes
senger to apprise Miss Templeton of
what had happened, bat she did not come
to the rescue of Herischy, and he was
taken to Ludlow street jail. Assistant
District Attorney O Connell opened the
letter that was found on Herischy. It
was addressed: “Miss Fay Templeton.”
He read it aud a broad smile illumined
his countenance. The inspectors and
commissioners also read the little epistle,
and they began to laugh. The inspectors
would not let reporters take a copy of the
letter.
’ They want to first use it as evidence in
the case. It opened with “Dear Fay,”
and is said to be very spicy. This Is one
of the sentences, “When 1 get over there.
Fav, all the Jobnnlea most go.”
Herischy is abont forty years old. He
has a smooth-shaven face, and says he
has a wife and four children in Paris ,
The letter asked Fay to give Herischy
employment until Howell comes over,
Which will be in a few weeks.

Mrs. Kate Chase Sprague, not very
many yean ago was the proud mistress of
princely home in Washington, with a
retinue of servants, the chief of whom
was a French cook, who received {1200 for
his services. As an example of her man
ner of dealing with refractory servants,
it may be mentioned that, one occasion
the coachman was told to do something
in the hones. He refused, saying that his
place was on the box of the carriage, and
no where else. Whereupon, Mrs. Sprague
ordered oat the carriage, and kept the
coachman sitting on the box all night
He never ventured to refuse to ob9y any
order after that. Wnen I first saw Mrs.
Sprague she was twent -nine years old,
and in the prime of her rare beauty.
Tall, slender, and graceful, her sparkling,
vivacity, her dashing manners and bril
liant powers of conversation fitted her to
adorn^iny society, and she was at that
lime the society queen of Washington.
She was the pride of her father's heart.
L'ke him, she was ambitions, and while
ai aspired to the highest political honors,
her ambition was to be a social queen.
At the age of twenty-four, Kate Chase
married William Spragne, the young mil
llonatre Senator from Rhode Island, who
had been elected Governor of that State
when only twenty-six years old. The
world supposed that this was a brilliant
match for Miss Chose, but, as usual, the
world was wrong, for It was a most ill-
sorted match. Gov. Spragne was far In
ferior to bis wife in mind and manners,
and she discovered when too late that his
soul could not be fired with a high am
bition.—No Name Magaz'ne.
LADY STANLEY OF PRESTON.
The wife of the governor general of Can
ada by right of position ts the ''first lady
in the Dominion.”
Lady Stanley of Preston, wife of the
present governor general, was Miss Con
stance Villiers, eldest daughter of George,
fourth earl of Clarendon. She married
Baron Frederick Arthur Stanley, who in
1886 was raised to the peerage, and in 1888
became governor general of Canada.
Lady Stanley is tall and distingne look
ing, with a kiud, benevolent face, beautiful,
soft brown wavy hair and bine eyes. Her
expression is gentle and attractive. Abont
a year and a half ago her eldest son, the
Hon. Edward Stanley, married the Lady
Alice Montague, youngest daughter of the
late Duke of Manchester. Lady Stanley
is the devoted mother of seven sons and
one daughter. Ail of herexcellency’s fam
ily are extremely fond of outdoor sports,
such as skating, tobogganing, hockey on
ice, etc., and seem to thoroughly enjoy the
Canadian winter. Daring the summer
they go down the St. Lawrence for the sake

LADY MIDDLETON.
Of the governor general and his wife Mr.
W. Blackburn Harte recently wrote in The
Cosmopolitan Magazine, of New York city:
“Lord Stanley of Preston is one of the
best representatives of the type of the old
aristocracy that is fast disappearing in
England. He is a wholesome British aris
tocrat—indeed, lie was generally known in
transatlantic society as the ‘first gentle
man in England.’ lie certainly, by his
manners and bis irreproachable domestic
character, merits the distinction. Lord
Stanley is a tall, heavily built man, and in
crowd would be noticeable for his gener
ous proportions. His face is expressive of
generosity and a tolerant good humor.
He is not by any means a brilliant man,
and his official speeches are inclined to be
ponderous, but be has a hearty manner in
his intercourse with all classes, and is
wholly devoid of affectation. In fact he
is a perfect gentleman, in the large sense
of the word) as it is aop'gjftf-j.in America.
“Lady Constance Stanley is a woman
particularly adapted to supplement her
oas tour medals, the New Zealand, the
Indj&n mutiny medal and clasp, the cross
of the Commander of the Bath and the
northwest rebellion medal.
One of society’s greatest favorites is Mrs.
Chapleau, wife of the Hon. J. A. Chaplean,
secretary of state for Canada. She is only
an inch or two over five feet, her complex
ion is fair and her hair chestnut brown.
Her eyes are dark and soft and her eye
brows beautifully marked. A very fasci
nating manner is one of her many gifts,
she is fond of society and as the wife of a
cabinet minister entertains a great deal
daring the session, but though many of
her entertainments are necessarily official
they are never dreary. Her face is a soft
oval. Mr. Chaplean was premier for the
province of Quebec till he resigned to en
ter the Dominion parliament. He is a gifted
orator, speaking both English and French
fluently, and is noted for his witty repartee.

the tsschers and people at the ootosed
Peabody Institute last night, and hla
address was one of the finest ever heard
In this section. His subject wae “The
Duty and Dignity of a School Teacher,”
end he touched It from every point of
view. He spoke of the Importance of
physical, moral and mental culture, and
laid special stress on moral develop
ment. He showed the negroes that; while
they received as much of the eehool fond
as was given the white children, they
paid only a very small percentage of aa
much tax. and for the advantages given
them by tne State they were bound to re
turn good citizenship. He showed them
clearly that the white people of the
South were their friends, and that every
thing was done for them that was dona
for the whites, and urged them to look
well before following after the Northern
partisans—their red enemies. The ad
dress was clothed in beaotifol language,
and was filled with many pretty allu
sions that evoked considerable applause.
Its sentiment was the highest type of
patriotism, and the facts it contained
should be pinned to the backbone of
every white man and negro In the South.

The other day .one of these little males
was gazing ont in the commons, near

by. Thinking that he had enjoyed his
vacation long enough, the little male
trotted np to the dashboard and ran along

devotion to duty was ever shown by

We do not surrender the little mule

good stick with a leather cracker usual

towards the stable, there was little com

didn’t have the style of Maud S., or the

him he waa amiable and gentle. Wht 11-

qualities of mind which distinguish him.
She is, like him, essentially English in
both appearance and manner. A glance
is sufficient to reveal the fact that she is a
product of the British civilization and so
cial system. She is a tall, well propor
tioned woman, of refined and matronly de
meanor; her features are pleasant and
regular without being distinctly hand
some, and there is a very womanly, loving
look in her eyes which compensates for the
absence of any indication of extraordinary
mentality. Her tournure is pleasing, with
all the charms of maturity, and her toilets
always denote infallible judgment and
good taste, both in the selection of color
and material and in the arrangement.”

Wood Floor and Its Uses.
A mill at a small town in New York
state makes wood flour out of white
beechwood. The logs, stripped of bark,
are forced against a cutting machine which
makes 400 revolutions a minute. The thin
sharings are dried and put into a hopper
which grinds them into flour. The flour is
bagged and sent to New York. Says a
gentleman who visited the mill the other
day: “A man told me there is a pretty big
sale for the stuff. He said that part of it
was used as paper stock and in the prepara
tion of lincrusta walton. That is the o»-
tensible purpose for which it is made, bnt
the workman told me that a good deal of
the staff went into the hands of contract
ors for furnishing Indian rations, and that
considerable of it also went into the cheap
breads sold in the Italian and Hebrew dis
tricts in the lower part of New York city.
A Ludicrous but Costly Affair.
A ludicrous but costly incident occurred
at the dedication services of the new Congre
gational church at Moorland, Ia., the other
Sunday. When the contribution plate was
passed not a single person arose. The var
nish on the seats was not sufficiently dried,
and all of the audience were glued down.
It took nearly an hour to free the prison
ers. Many ladies’ toilets were ruined, large
portions of them being left to decorate the
pews.
