TIIK Richmond Dispatch, a Democratic paper published at Richmond, Vn., in an editorial on Mrs. Jefferson Davis, says:

The Southern .States ought to vote a pension to Mrs. Jefferson Davis and irginia should lead the movement. It is nothing but fair and proper that we should put her upon the same footing that the D. S. government places the widows of its presidents. The duty devolves upon the States that composed the confederacy, as the confederacy is a thing of the past. It can be no very costly precedent for us, inasmuch as there never will be another confederacy, therefore never another widow of a confederate president.

And yet thero are Democrats up North who say that all rebels have been reconstructed, especially if they vote the Democratic ticket.

AT amass meeting of the citizens in the counties of Clay and Sullivan on November 12, 1891, a set of resolutions were adopted, aintng which is the following:

Resolved, That any person employing such labor (foreign), to the exclusion of American labor is guilty of high treason to the American laborer and ought to le treated as the common enemy of constitutional government 'iiiat any citizen of this county harboring or boarding any person so employing such pauper labor or any laborer so employed ought to bo socially ostracised and if in business boycotted."

Coming frum such a stronghold of Democracy, such resolutions are surprising. The same principle embodied therein is in fact tho one come stone on which the Republican party is builded—that foreigners should not be permitted to do the work of this country while our own citizens starve for want of work. If, as free traders claim, we are to use anything foreign, it is much better that the laborers come here thnn to fill our markets with the products of their labor .fium abroad. If we must have tl ings foreign, the importation of laborers is the better of the two, for in mat case our agricultural class gets to feed and cloth them, while if they stay at home and send their products, thoy work exactly the same hardship complained of in these resolutions, and buy nothing of us in return. Buying any foreign commodity the like of which we have the men and material to make is no less high treason than the importa-

TEHI!K II.UTK lnd., Nov.

The I'oles were put to work Wednesday morning and were not molested, although the feeling is intense against them. Karlv Wednesday morning a committee of miners waited on Superintend nt Gilmore and for a second time demanded the removal of the im ported miners. The interview was a stormy one and the miners received no satisfaction. The I'oles are much wrought up over the snooting of their countryman, and every man of them is armed. Wednesday afternoon a mob of about :i00 miners and citizens from Ilymera and other points visited the Alum Cave mine and demanded that the I'oles be sent away. Mr. Selfert, one of the coin pany. met them anil gave the crowd no satisfactory assurance. The outlook from telegrams received here is not reassuring, and serious trouble is feared almost any moment. The 1'ole who was shot is now at the hospital in this city and will probably recover.

THOMPSON OF OUItS.

How a "Harum-Scarum Younsr Devil" Acquitted Himself.

Up there between Quctta and Candaliar it gets very cold in January—a nasty, biting, blustering cold that nips the liver and shortens the temper that comes whistling round your mud hut with a northeti.'t wind from off the snows, and cracks the shriveled skin off you like old parchment.

The colonel blew on his fingers, howled for fresh wood to be piled upou the fire, and fell to the contemplation of his thumb, which was frostbitten.

Beforo him upon the table, lay tho loathsome sheets of foolscap known as the "Annual Confidential Reports." Some of these were already lilled in, some blank as yet Kaeh was headed by the name of an ofilcer, and fringed by the impertinent personal riddles sent yearly for commandants to answer.

Now, even whi'u forced to look from the point of view of disapproval upon any one of his "boys," this honorable, kindly English gentleman held the system of confidential disparagement in horror. But really this morning, what with the cold, and the maggots in tho rice which had put him off his breakfast. and tho extraordinary delay in tho mail letters, he felt inclined to damn every man-jack of them, himself included With a roaring blizzard searching your bones, and a suspicion of fever in your blood, and nothing decent to oat, you don't feel like certifying that every soul under your command is remarkable for all qualities that go to make saints upon earth.

Anyhow the colonel did not feel like It. lie began turning over the sheets with that sickly, languid feeling of revolt with which monotony in its unpleasant forms is apt to inspire one after long years of patient grind. He hated these grim skeleton sketches in black and white. It was always tho same thing—the same weary struggle to combine strict truth with fair words to put "Yes" where it ought to be

No," and "No" where it ought to be Yes." For were they indeed—all these youths—zealous in well doing, all talented, all tactful, all of equable temper? Had they, every one of them, been endowed from their cradlcs with unnatural sagacity and aptitude for command? Were they, in short, readymade generals from the moment they entered the service? Alas, nol The colonel's eye wandered to his crippled thumb again, and then back to the sheets under his other hand, and presently fell upon a certain name heading one of tfitm. Whereupon he cursed the authorities in his heart for a pack of fools and sighed. It was Thompson —Lieut. William Thompson—known by the namo of "Hilly."

The colonel took it in his hand and sighed again. There was not one, or hardly one. of those cut and dried questions that could be auswered graccfully, yet conscientiously, as regarded this young .man. "I could describe him in three words." groaned the colonel "harum-scarum young devil."

Then, for he liked the lad. he began to wonder how on earth he was' to fill up that report. lie was a keen soldier himself, and, if the truth be told, had a partiality for the. type so pithily described in those three words. lie would rather have such with him in the field than some others for whom, perchance, more would be said on paper. Of such he knew was the kingdom of heroes.

The ghosts of many haunting tragedies came crowding into the old soldier's mind as he sat fingering that in fernal paper. Did any of these harsh moral photographs of them, with "Yes's" and "No's" in the most unbecoming places, lie rotting still perhaps in the adjutant general's offices?

He got up shivering and kicked the logs into a blaze, then returned with stern determination to tho study of the vexing questions in hand. What would he say for Hilly Thompson? Tho ilad had the temper of a game bull-tcrrier, the tact and judgment of a Newfound' hind puppy, aud about as much ability ii'.d acquirement as the average En$flsb schoolboy, n. The thought that

Biliy Thompson as ornamented with the complete list of "confidential report" virtues was nothing less than grotesque.

He glanced down the list Why, that •ery morning ho had spent a bad hall hour in wigging the youngster for shortcomings in almost every item. Late again for parade. Violent with Sepoy. Hadn't tho faintest notion of his drill, and so on. "What on earth am I to say for you, eir?" lie had asked, angrily, tapping the bundle of uncompromising papers, at which BiUy glanced with rueful despair in his honest eyes. "You are distinctly careless, wanting in tact, useless at office work—what's the use of complaining of your writers, sir?— inattentive and argumentative. Ride? Of course and that's about all you're fit for. That and tennis but, unluckily, these won't advance you in your profession, nor gain you respect, nor fit you for a command."

Then the colonel had stolen a look at the frank, bright face and thought for the millionth time how ridiculous it all was. Tho lad was honorable and brave. Why not trust to time and training to do tke rest? He wanted a tight hand over him. of course but •why be forced to send up a nasty, disparaging report of him to headquarters?

Somehow the colonel could not find It in his heart to do it, and was still worrying over it when a telegram wu brought in addressed "To the officer commanding." This was followed shortly by a knock at the rough door opening outward on to tho cold, windswept inclosurc, a struggle to shut tho same, and a tall, smart-looking officer entered, helmet in hand. "Oh, that's you, Hamerton! I was just going to send for you. There's a row up Khunaz way. James, of the police, wounded. Giliazls again killed a lot of people. I'm ordered to send an intelligent officer to investigate the thing and report. You'll have a ticklish job, but 1 can rely upon you. I've been thinking whom you had better take. You see I can only spare one or two, either Rates or Thompson. Bates has the longest head, and yet Thompson—well, if it came to blows, somehow 1 should prefer Thompson. But do as you like."

A he said this the colonel instinctively glanced at the pilo of papers beside liitn. Hates' name happened to lie uppermost, with its every question snugly and neatly answered. Thompson's bad friblted off gayly in the open door, and was but just saved from being chewed under tho table by Hamertoa's PuPPy. who had followed his masterly. .."It shall be little Billy," said Ijtj.

Hamerton to hinwlf, and "proceeded to the discussion of further details concerning escort aud commissariat arrangements for the small expedition.

A little before nightfall icy started, a party of liftmen in all—th. two English officers, liiliy in a state of tho wildest joy and bursting with importance, a dutTedar, and twelve sowars of the lChuna/. horse. A second telegram had been received soon after the first saying that the Gihazis, who were few in number, had taken- themselves off that a native hospital assistant was in charge of .lames, the wounded police officer, and that lie was to be brought back here, because there was no other European doctor nearer than Quctta. "Hope we come acro-iS the beggars," Billy said, gleefully. 15ut the colonel, who bad ridden out a little way wixh the party and had wished them "good luck." found himself saying something like a prayer in his heart lor the safe return of the two men, who were, in hU opini-ei, the very pick of the regiment

In times of peace these inglorious little brushes with sneaking Gihazis are not among the pleasantest features of service in Afghanistan. To an old soldier they savor too much of that potting from behind hedges to which no military glory is attache I. lie docs not care about sending out good men to furnish targets for skulk in devils who have no gro'.'.nd for ij-eerrcl, but are merely i-,s ,e 1 wit'i :'u:iatical desire to spill Kerringbee l.!«»l. Wherefore the vt'::i 1 i:: o'.Me 'r was ill at ease, an.1 for tho next tw .l.iyi there fell a dullness and a i:iu .e upon everybody in camp.

Upon the third day after the departure of the expedition the colonel rode out to reeonnoiter, along with the doctor, who was always game for a ride. Tho commanding officer was more anxious than he allowed to appear. Somehow, a two years' sojourn in those dreary wilds draws men very close together when they arc made of good stuff. The party ought to have returned ere this, and the colonel's heart •was disquieted within him. He was scanning the horizon carefully, when, suddenly he pulled up and shaded his eyes. "What's that iittle cloud of dust, doctor? Is it a 'devil' or a couple of horsemen'.'"

The doctor. \v!io». eyes were younger, answered that it \y» no "devil," but horsemen, and that th-y we re making for cainn "liv .love:" c::claii:ied the colonel with his iichl glasses up. "it is—it's Thompson with a :,nvar!"

In another ::i-.:.i•••.it t'.iey were cutting across to ln-et Iher.i. Billy was ri l'n a I• ™'.!i or two in front, and hi a I hors nulled up of its own aee.ird as lie neared the approaching rider.,, 'i iie sowar saluted and remain-.! I s". 1. liv immovable in the bae':grou:i I. i.li and horses were caked w.i.'i .I•• :r. I wore a weary, dejeete.l air "We're brin rii: i:i .lam -s all right," answered Il.il.v. i.i re puns-j to the colonel's |Ue:.*:o 'I ••..i:iv "lint we had a l: ,-!it Cihui'.i'-. this side Khunaz l-a.a.-rl.) i'- Iu ily wounded. I've come on tor t'.i lector—his only chance. The i\lrv holted who was looliitiL :it:er .l.i'.r.es Can the doctor go :l o.'.e.'. ,ir.' 'i'iiis sowar watds a li.u-.e—'.vial' all."

After a word or two with thcvcominandaut the doctor sp -d toward camp with the sowar at his heels. He paused for a moment by the side of Billy and looked him in the face. "I sluill lie niuler way in ten min

utes," he said. "Look here, old fellow, you've had about enough go home and .turn in." Me was struck by the look of agony aud mental strain on the boy's face.

After that the colonel got very few words out of him. He saw that the young fellow was done up, and questioned him little. His mouth WM parched, so that he could with difficulty articulate. 11 is strong young figure was bowed over tho horse's neck. As they were ncaring camp the doctor with his escort rode out and callcd back some cheering words to him. Fivs minutes later they were out of night

Once within enmp limits tho colonel dismounted, and, giving lys horse over to a syce, walked beside the young officer's horse with his hand on his neck. Several fellows came up with greetings and congratulations. "Come straight to mess and have something to drink before you tell us anything," said the colonel, taking hold of the horse's bridle as he spoke. At the same moment lie felt it slacken within his grasp, and looking up he saw that Billy was reeling in his saddle and that his lips WTC bloodless. "I—I think I'm gone,'' he muttered, feebly, and fell sideways off his hors* into the colonel's arms. 1 hey carried him over to the mess and began taking off his militafy greatcoat. Then something made him open Iris eyes, and his face took a little, brave, distoited smile. "Hold hard!" he grasped "I think I've got a bullet somewhere, and—and —my arm's smashed." "Why, curse it," groaned the colonel, laying him gently down, and looking round upon the circle of horror-stricken faces, "he knew this, aud he has sent away the doctor!"

It was some weeks before Maj. Hamerton was able to tell the story of Lieut. Thompson's heroic conduct how, when he himself was wounded and at the mercy of the murderers, the young officer defended him single handed how afterward he pushed on into Khunaz and brought out James of tho police more du.id than alive and how, finally, while concealing the fact that he had been shot in the right arm, he rode forty miles in to get the doctor, and thus for the second time saved tho major's life.

It was longar still though before Billy was out of danger. The wound had set up inflammation and fovcr from overexertion and the long time that had of necessity elapsed before skilled care could be bestowed upon it, and for weeks it was feared it would go hard with Billy.

But in the end the "harum-scarum young devil" got well, and the colonel had the pleasure of sending up a "confidential report" of a very superior kind, together with a brilliant pendant, which has resulted in the bestowal of the much-coveted Victoria cross upon I.iout William Thompson, of Ours.—Vanity Fair.
