feWStyJe and j yen he a pupUc
under striking headlines, but; after
they are waded through the sum and
at , the ; intervie wred
gentlemen donV know anything
about it. . Qea. Sherman says he was
summoned to Washington about that
time by the . President; but didn't
learn any thing about any revolus
tionary programme, and though he
met Gen. Grant, the v General didn't
hint at anything of that kind. Ex-
Senator Henderson, of Missouri, who
was intimate; with both Mr. Johnson
and Gen. Grant, and who voted
against the impeachment, says he
never heard anything about it, and
others who were ; in a position to
know something, don't seem to know
anything more about it than the un-
miormea millions ouisiae oi me ias
vqred circle., Ben. Butler, however,
who about that time was a sort of a
willbpua wallopus in the Republican
camp and a recognized leader in the
anti-Johnson ' faction, did a little pri
vate detective work, of which he
made a record, and says that he
could a tale unfold if he would; but
does not propose to unfold that tale
for the accommodation of newspaper
men now, and don't know thai it will
be unfolded until after he passes in
his chips and crosses to ': the other
side, from which it would seem that
Ben is laying up notes for somebody
to write something about liim when
he retires from business, Mr. Depew
became responsible for , a large
amount of stupid stuff when he tump
ed loose those reminiscences born of
too many libations of wine or some
thing stronger and strung together
with a free imagination or. a decep
tive memory. It is a poor business,
to say the best of it attacking the
character and motives of a man after
he and the principal witness are both
dead and the voices of both are hush
ed forever.
J; The expression of the eyes of per
sons killed by violence is considered
an important matter jurisprudence,
but its value has been greatly lessen
ed by ; reason of its evanescent na
ture. A' French scientist has found a
means of restoring the1 lifeslike ex
pression. It consists in applying a
few drops of glycerine and water to
the cornea. I
Money does does not always bring
happiness. John Roach, ' the ships
builder, says he was happier when
.working for a dollar, a day than
when he employed thousands of men
and his pay roll amounted to 4S0,000
a week, t If. John . hadn't been quite
so crooked he might be happier and
havef more of thi I world's koods.
Juthough Mr.'. Cleveland 3 is very
fond btjhorses, -'lie' was ;tbolbust. to

predecessors these races were of more

How tbe Government Is Chafed
In reference to the rumors that At
torney-General Garland contemplates
retiring from his position, that gen
tleman is quoted as saying, that he
nor his friends did not seek the office,
it was tendered to him, that he' ac
cepted it with the resolve to makeas
good an attorney-general as he was
able to', when he left the Senate he
retired from- political life, and when
his service as attorneys-general was
ended he would retire to his home in
Arkansas and never again participate
in politics.
A Special session of the Oregon leg
islature has been called , to elect a
United States Senator to succeed Mr.
Slater, whose term has expired. On
account of the numerous factions in
the Republican party they failed to
elect a Senator at the session of the
legislature last winter, and it is
doubtful if they can succeed in the
special session, as ' the Democrats
have ; votes ; enough to prevent ; an
election unless the Republicans pull
better together.. ' '
Philadelphia Times: That was aw
ful bungling by the Democrats of
Ohio in trying to cheat Sherman
out of his new Senatorial term. If
they - could have commanded Sher
man's ripe experience in election bur
glary, they would have done it bet
ter; but Sherman was in Ohioy not in
Louisiana, this time and "he wanted
an honest election at home. '
bjr MdnjLJlogus Claimants. k
eooa many romantic. stories are I
coming out of the pension office sav-1
oring oi.cunning irauu. kjuv oi me
latest is that two families , have ; been
recently united through conflicting
applications. In one case aConnecs
ticut widow, applied - or a pension
and the records showed that, the man
on whose account she claimed.it was
himself drawing the. pension through
the Calif ornia r agency.,. When ..' in
formed of it she asked his address,
declaring that she had mourned him
as dead .for twenty .years. ,,, Another
case of a similar . character , reverses
the tale, the, supposed; , widow, having
drawn the pension;; of the husband
who had disappeared, When he ap
niiea tne lacts came out. . in . tnis
last case the man had applied in 1868, i
but had not been heard of again untu
recently, the alleged widow haying
in the meantime applied and proved
her claim. . . -
The probability is that a very large
fraud is at the bottom of these pen
sion office romances. It has. from
time to time been discovered that in
formation as to pensions, back pay
and bounty has been given out in the
Washington omces, where h the re
cords show that no application ; has
been made or where . tne applicant
has not been heard from for many
years, k the data v being . furnished
whereon to base, a successful bogus
claim. The bogus claimant is usually
the tool of some swindling claim
agent who is the confederate outside.
J,hese agents mase tne. testimony nt
the case and usually do so with com
parative impunity, as the real claims
ant rarely turns up. The ; Connects
cut soldier drawing his - pension in
California is not easily detected, un
less a widow or the same soldier
turns up somewhere else with a
claim.
There are a good many such "ros
mances" on file in the second audiv
tor's office. Some are more extraor
dinary than those given; but ' at the
pension office. A widow conflicting
witn ner nusDana aeaa Dy amaavit
is a mild case. They involve such
startling factors T as ; two or three
identical soldiers; two or three moth
ers of the same soldier, several only
sisters, two fathers, etc. A romance
of a soldier who died, , leaving a
couDle of widows, three mothers and
two fathers to 1 mourn his loss and
scramble for his back pay, bounty
and pension and, to add to the de
partmental dilemma, suddenly comes
to life and puts in his own personal
application is none too strong for the
