This, it will be remem bered, is what the Sentinel suggest ed last August. One is absolutely necessary, though we ventured then to, and do now, suggest lour. A uuraen too great for the shoulders of one or two Exnminers-in-Chief exists; work is delayed, appeals neglected, and ap plicants discouraged. We had not then, nor have we now, space to pro long the subject. But a study ot the question will bring all to the conclu sion there ought to be at least as many Examiners-in-Chief as commissioners. THE SHORT HAIR CRAZE continues to spread. It is no longer the badge, as it always was at the Cap ital, of woman suffragists and the virago. It is becoming general, from the school -girl to the old maids. Wo men of sixty are just as "crazy" as sweet, innocent creatures of seven tt en and twenty. The line is drawn no where ; poor and rich, pious and world ly, fast and staid share the fashion. For a time, the short-haired female of fashion was a curiosity, with scrutiny and doubts against her.

ONE OF THE NATION'S HEROES QUIETLY PASSES AWAY At His Post of Duty on Governor's Is land, After a Brief Hlnea of Forty Eiht Hours. . For The Sentinel. One by one the heroes of the great est struggle of modern times are pass ing away and with them are passing the bitter feelings, the anguish and the ac-onv that was engendered by the civil war General Hancock was one of the noblest figures in the civil war and since its close has gained the esteem of his opponents, as he has the venera tion of his friends. On February 9th General Hancock died unexpectedly at his post of duty on Governors Is land. For only forty-eight hours had AN EXTRAORDINARY STORY. A Soldier's Widow who Receives Mys terious Letters. . From the Washington Capita!. A very remarkable case has come to our attention through a friend in the Pension Office, which furnishes in cidents for a novel as powerful as any Dumas or Eugene Sue ever wrote. In 1864, a lieutenant from an Ohio vil lage was killed in one of the battles of Virginia, and his body was sent home, buried with military honors, and a handsome monument erected over it by the citizens -of tho place. Thousands of people paid their trib utes of honor to the young hero, and looked upon his face as the body lay in state in the town hall. He left a widow to whom he had been marr ied only a year, and for more than twenty HAPPY THOUGHTS. SUGGESTIONS FOR THEIR READY AND INFINITE PRODUCTIONS.

Orlglu or the Name of the sauratown Mountain and the Dan Hirer. From the Banbury Reporter. Sauratown Mt. This word (Sau ratown) is possibly, as has been sug gested to me by Mr. Powel, (director of the Bureau of Ethnology, Smith sonian Institute aslnngton,; a cor ruption of the Algokian word taawono, signifying southern. Accrding to the narrative of Uollen who doubtless borrowed from Nicholas Perot, the Satonos or Shawnees were driven at an early day by the Five Nations from the neighborhood of Lake Erie to the Carol in as. A portion of them were for a long time upon the head waters of the Santec (Catawba) and the great Tedee (Yadkin) rivers un der the name of "Ontawagannha," This people began a migration in the latter part of the 17th Century to Pennsylvania, which continued at in- tivals for many years, lheir nance may not unlikeby have been perpetu- ited in the mountains of btokes coun ty. Alaior liairston informs me that his father Samuel liairston Esq., was a volunteer officer of the U. b. Army in the war of 1812, and was stationed at Buffalo, N. Y. While there he met lied Jacket a chief of the .Shaw nee tribe, who had formerly lived in this region. lied Jacket said he thought this region the most beautiful country he had ever seen, and had never been satisfied since he had been compelled to leave it. His heart still clung to it, and he seemed much grat ified at meeting one who had lived there, dax iuvee. What is now called the Roanoke was known as the Moratur, forming, as Byrd describes it, all that part of the lioanoke below the great falls to wards Albemarle Sound, the falls be ing situated thirty five miles below the fork of the lliver, according to this authority. The tribe of Moratues, ac cording to an old map, had their loca tion in the vicinity of the Roanoke river. I am indebted tor a kind and interesting communication from Major Powell, of the Ethnological Bureau of the Smithsonian Institute, Wash ington, a distinguished expert in the language and history of our Indians, in which he says that 'this Bureau has considered the Moratues as of Algon kiau stock, and that their name i bears much resemblance to the Powhatan word for enemy.' The Algonkian fam ily embraced, among others, the pow erful tribes of the Powhatans and Shawnees in the bouth. Ihere is no AN ADDING MACHINE.

It should be remembered that thit is unearned salary, and that the Senate is Republican. THE TARIFF QUESTION, on which Mr. Morrison's political past, oresent. and future rocks, recoils at every step of increased taxation. Econ omists who are free-traders redouble their economy. But economists who are protectionists are almost at a loss. It is asserted that Republicans have method in extravagant approgria tions. but no incentive is necessary they take to extravagance like ducks to water. Though tempted as well as accused, Mr. Randall will not relax his economic features ; he is not a hypocrite. But complications do not settle the question : indeed, some have authorative ground for associating the gone so far as to guarantee that it Moratues with this locality, (Stokes he been con lined to his be;!. The first indications of disease M as the appear ance, of a slight boil on the back of his neck, which was lanced but in four days thereafter developed into a car buncle. The matter however gave him little trouble and only on Wed nesday previous to his death did he admit feeling unrrell. Kidney troubles and diabetes manifested themselves and on Sunday the patient took to his bed, on Monday, however he was much improved, but the carbuncle caused some concern. Early on Tuesday the diabetes became worse and there was a hemorrhage from the sore on the neck. Medical assistance, from New York, in addition to the post staff was called, but fatal symptoms had appeared and without a struggle, calmly, quietly ,t he here passed away at thee o'clock!'. M. l- ebruarv Uth, 188(3. General Hancock was born I ebru- ary 14th, I8J4 in Montgomery county, Pa. He graduated from est Point Academy in 1844 and in 184G received his commission as Lieutenant of infant ry, lie served during the Mexican War and at its close was quarter-mas ter of his regiment. In 18-55" he took part in the -Honda campaign against the Seminole Indians. In 1861 he was appointed Brigadier General of V olunteers and served in the Amry ot the Potomac. He accompanied Mc Clellan's army to the Peninsular in 1862 and distinguished himself at the battle of Williamsburg. At the bat tle of Fredericksburjr in December can Peol H.

He was a most conspicuous figure in the battle of Gettysbury, and did much to enable a Union success. He was wounded during the engage ment. In April 1864 he was promot ed to the command of the 2nd Army Corps and was engaged in the battle of the Wilderness campaign. He was promoted to be Brigadier General oi the regular army iu August 1864, Brevet Major Geqeral in March 1865 and Major General July 18C6. After the war he was successively Command er of the Middle Department, Depart ment of the Missouri, Louisiana' Texas and Dakota. Upon the death of Gen eral Meade, in Nevember, 1872, the President appointed him to the com- j mand ot the Army ot the Hiast, with head-quarters at Governors Island. In 180 he was chosen as the standard bearer of the Democracy in the pres idential race, but he was defeated at the polls by the late President Gar field, who receive I a majority of 59 electoral votes. General Hancock had command of the cortege attending the obsequies of" Grant and his appearance on that oc casion fully substantiated the claims of his friends that lie was the hand somest and most soldierly looking offi cer in the army.- MKnw How to Appreciate It." - From the Ziinaolnton Press.

Once she got a note from him dated in Washington. He ap pears to know what is going on at home, and always alludes to local oc currences with a familiarity that is amazing. He sends messages to old friends, aud gives her advice about business matters which it seems im possible for a slranger to know. She cannot answer these ghostly missives, because he never gives any clew to his whereabouts, ami no detective has ever been able to find him. Her friends believe that the writer of the letter is some crank or malicious person who takes this way to annoy her, and the distress this poor woman sutlers cannot be measured by any other human experience, for we do not believe there was ever such a ease as this. Long ago she ceased to open envelopes which came with the familiar address on them, but sends them sealed to her attorney, who uses every possi ble means to secure a clew to the iden- titv of the writer. The only circum stances to suggest that it may possibly be her husband are the penmanship and the familiarity the writer shows with the lady's private life,.but how he could keep hiniself posted is another mystery that cannot be solved. Several times the writer has intimat ed that he might pay htr a visit, but the next letter always contains an apology for not having done so. The woman has suffered agony of mind beyond description, aud her life has been ruined by this horrible mystery ; but of late she has become more re signed, aud would be neither sHrprised nor disappointed if her husband should some day walk in at the door.

It is genius fighting batan. Next, seek irenial companions real live, hearty, healthy human beings not rowdies, but men who nave sense and pol iteness enough to try to be agreeable. I know a good companion able fellow the moment I get my eyes on him, by a thousand little unmistak able but mostly indescribable signs bv his look, dress, manner by the twinkle of his eve, the way he wears hb hat, the way he holds himself even. The ring of his voice is as the tone ot merry bell of pure metal. His lauo-k is worth all the millions ol dol lars the drug stores invest in quack medicines. He is surrounded by an atmosphere teeming with the constit uents of life and love and gaiety the sweet air of enjoyment, which I can sniff and recognize intuitively by the time I get within forty feet of him. The next best thing is to retain the vivacity of your childhood as long as you can. Don't shut your eyes and steel vour heart and affect clean-gone wisdom because it's counted manly to do so by the great majority of dudes. Look! Look upward, outward, every where ! See what's to be seen and feel w hat's to be felt. Don't be a dried and withered Solomon before you're twenty-hve. Better be a real man with a slight touch of wickedness than a draped and dignified fool. Take the practical Dutchman's view of the case : "0 crown your hot mit roses, lofel O keep a liddle sprung!

Contrivance of a Hook-Keeper After Twelve Years' Work. From the Springfield Republican. C. G.

He has been at work on the invention since 1873, and had the thins: patented something like a year ago. The add ing machine is being manufactured in parts at New York for him, while he puts the instruments together himself at room 7, No., 345 Main street. The machine is cased in a light wood en box about eight inches square and three deep, aud, lifting the cover, the interior is seen to hold an enameled white surface, on which are two dials, and which shows the brass key-board in the lower left-hand corner. The larger dial of the two is on the left of the machine, and is divided into one hundred sections. The rim of the smaller dial is likewise cut into twenty sections. The hand which moves about the first dial is called the unit pointer. That which moves about the smaller one is called the hundreds pointer.

The key is a brass upright, and as the nnger draws on it, a spring allows it to slip back towarcs the lower end of the box. The pulling of each key on the board sends the unit pointer along un its journey around the dial as many points as there are units in the num ber of the key, Pull the !l key, and the dial set lit 0 goes to 9. Pull the same key again, and the unit pointer moves to 18. Pull the 1, 2 and 3 keys now, and tho pointer goes con secutively with a hop, skip and a jump to 24. When the unit pointer, keeping up its agile athletics, has reached its starting point again, there is a iiuicli little motion on tue right land dial.

But cant ing and whining and quoting Scrip ture by the yard never made happy thoughts in a man. "Consider the lillies." Why consider them, vulgar utilitarianism would object, seeing that they toil not neither do they spin? But that is the very reason for con sidering them. They are clothed from above with surpassing beauty, without taking thought for themselves, "A thim? of beauty is a joy forever;" and that is undeniably to be of some "rise" in the world. Help the poor. Of all the ways to happy thoughts that is the royal road. It is paved w ith pleasure and strewed with garlands the angels placed there. Stand un manfully for the right. Don't be a coward and trickle down. Stiff knees and a brave arm here ! "When the contest is over, you will be hitched to the victor's chariot. "Fear God and keep His Com mandments."

Mv papa is a preacher in the Virginia Conference. AVe visited my .noiiiliiii in Person county, N. C, two ve.'irs a'o. Papa and my uncle went tnrU-pv hiintinr. They hal two do one a setter, and the other a large bull dog. lliey found two largo coons up one tree. Papa wanted brother Ben and I to see the fight ; he came after us. AVe had to pass by a negro's house ; papa asked him to go with us ; he had a large dog, and wanted to take him. Papa asked him if he could kill a coon ; he said Hover was "too muclf for any one coon." So Hover went. AVe were told where to stand until the tree fell. It stood on the bank of a large creek, when it fell, both coons got in the water. My uncle's dog ran in and got one and brought him to the bank, and after a long fight killed him. But Sam's dog was not so fortunate, for the coon he went for was in deep water. AVheu he got near bun, he turned and caught thedog bv the nose and carried him down under the water several times. Finally Sam said : "He gwine drown Rover." Papa said : "iiover is too much for any one coon." Thejwcather was cold, but Sam was unwilling to run risk of losing Hover, so he plunged in water up to his neck, got Royer by the feet and pulled them out on the bank the coon and dog each holding the other. For same time the battle raged, but the coon got the advantage and got back in the water. Papa said, "Sie. Rover, sic." Rover went, but if he had failed iu getting assistance from the shore he would a watery grave. Rover's master went in this time and carried the dog and the coon a hundred yards from the creek, and with the assistance of another dog the coon was finally killed. The two coons weighed twenty-five pounds. Papa tells me to rememfeer Rover, Sam, and the coon, or I may get into deep water.
