COLLOQUIALISM.

Ringster—See hero, Bitters, you’re playing the very devil with our prospects. Instead of conciliating Na tionals, you are driving them into fiercer opposition, and strengthening taeir cause. Bitters—W-w-well, that’s the way we did in Rochester. Ringster (excitedly)—R och e s ter, b—i • . You’re in Rensselaer, now.— You've got to stop your foolishness.— Hereafter tackle McEwen, and not the parties. Bitters (abject sdly)—B-b-b-but I pledged myself ir. the paper not to reply to McEwen’s “hog-wash ” Ringst ?r “Hog-wash!" Blast your overgrown, lubberly picture! The ring’ll take the light off your hands, and do it for you. Hereafter consult us. You lack good judgment, and have not sufficient discretion tomanage these matters properly. Bitters - W-w-well, you may do it. But let me im-itn im-plore you not to get me into such another fix as you did with the General’s war record!— Why 111 was obliged to make a square back down. On the street, Republicans met me, some sninggered and denounced me us a soft, lubberly old fool, while others give m*> a round damning. And Democrats—they were happy. Ringster—Well, we’ll try and help you out. We’ll try and create distrust of McEwen by his party—advertise for a Democratic organ—ridicule Me., etc. Of course, we’ll have to lie like the very devil, but he can put up with it as he seems to have the hide of a a rhinoceros. Itistheoniv course left us to pursin'. You have spoiled every other chance. And in this week’s Republican the ring commenced work in accordance with the programme mapped out In the foregoing. The following is the only reference made to us by the gallant Maceyer: —“Uncle Jimmy” has been giving us taffy all winter, which we have accepted in silence. Now we return it seasoned with wormwood.” “How weapplesswim!” TheMadeyer is evidently pleased with the labors of his assistants. There is but one drawback and that Is the encroachment upon time and the requirement of physical exercise in run-

i g backand forth to have mam - s ript rend and explained, which s riugii on a man inordinately overgrown and lazy. But the ring demand, and he must grin and bear it.

General Conference M. E. Church.

Reduced Railroad Ra esThe General Conference of the M. E. Church will be held in Cincinnati May Ist to 28th. 1880. Many import tint subjects will be considered, and the discussions and action thereon will be of unusual interest. The stiongest men of the Church, ministers and laymen, will participate in the debates. Bishops will be elected to fill va< aneies—laymen adinitt d to representation in the Conference, foreign delegates leceived with interesting ceremonies, special services held in memory of deceased Bishops, etc. The Pit ti- burgh, Cincinnati & St. Louis Railway Co.—Pan-Handle Route—have ugieed to return delegates paying full fare over its line to Cincinnati, at the rate of one cent per mile, upon ceitificate of Secretary. Those preferring to purchase round-trip ex cursion liekets, can proeme orders for such ticketo by addressing W. L. O'Brien, General Passenger Agent, Pan Handle Route, Columbus, O. It is, perhaps, needless to remind delegates that there are more frequent trains to and from Cincinnati by Pan Handle Route, than by any other line. It is the shortest, best constructed, and most perfectly equipped road lending to that city.

PENSIONS.

Reflo w . A.tonip s to ? ension Msx - c* i Wai’Vete’.’asAn Able Kjicer i b. Sen? or Voorim r.e o -c me Lniieil Slates Se.tale- April 1”. iSIO Mr, Voorhees su mitted the following resolution, which was read: Resolved, That the ComtniEce on Pensions be, and is hc.fcby, ins-.Tci-ed to report, without unnecessary delay, a bill authorizing Tie Commissioner of Pensions to place on the pension roll of Tvs Government the names of the surviving soldiers and sailors of the war between the United States and Mexico: Provided, That this resolution shall not apply to such as are now on any account drawing pensions, or »re laboring under polit ical disability: Mr. Voorhees—Mr. President, in presenting this resolution I hope I may be pardoned a few words in explanation. lam fully aware or the obstacles -o be encountered. An impression itus been created in certain quarters that we are already paying pensions in too lavish a manner, A note of alarm is raised on this floor whenever the subject is discussed.— We heaid it a few days ago in connection with a private bill to pension a disabled scout from West Vi’-ginie. The Senator from Kansas (Mr. Ingalls) drew a vivid picture of the dangers to which our growing pension list was subjecting the country. He announced that we were paying more money in pensions to disabled soldiers and sailors, their widowsand orphans, than any other government in the world. This is true, and in my judgment it is greatly to our credit. While the Governments of Europe pour out enormous sums in annuities ami pensions on their royal families, ami on their nobility, we are left free to expend similar sums, if we choose, on far worthier objects, on the citizen soldiery of the Republic, in grateful recognition of the fact that but for them the Union would not now exist, nor would foreign nations salute the American flag with respect. I can not consent that the policy of other Governments on this subject •shall be held up to us for adoption or imitation. ThereJ is nothing in the pension system of Great Britain for us to consider except as an exam pie to be avoided. It is true that there is comparatively a small sum paid in pensions to her soldiers and sailors, but she has a pension list that is truly amazing to the eye of an American. Under the heads of hereditary pensions, political pensions, special pensions, annuities, compensation allowances, compassionate al lowances, retiring allowances, and su perannuation allowances, she pays more than $10,000,000a year—in part to such ns have r tired from the different bran -h<s of her public service, and in part to a worthless nobility which has fastened itself by inheritance on the tax-paying toil of that Kingdom.

I have examined that pension roll. It is full of curious things. One man was pensioned for the sum of £7,191 on the excise, and for £3,384 on the Postoffice revenue, making the annual sum of $52,875, because he was descended from an illegitimate son of Charles 11, His base but high born ancestor had been pensioned, and the pension descended to those who came after him. In 1857 Ins Government redeemed, as it is called, its excise and postoffice revenues from this anntud charge, by paying the pensioner J-255,777 13s 2d; counted in our money $1,278,885, in round numbers. The old Duke of Schomberg fell at the battle of the Boyne, in IG9O, and a pension of £4,000, or $20,000, per annum was settled upon his heirs. They have drawn more than $2,000,000 from the English treasury. The private purse of the Queen of England and her household expenses paid bv the people amount to over $2,000,000 a year; aad the annual allowances granted to her children reach the sum of $5.000,000 and upward; while adding marriage portions to their other al lownnces these favored youths have drawn .from the revenues of tneir Government the sum of $62,790,095 up to the year 1877.

Facts like these, it sterns to me, ought to have a strong tendency to reconcile the most dissatisfied American citizen to the policy of his own Government, even if we do pay our scarred and veteran soldiers liberal pensions, and even if, for the time being, at least, we are deprived of the blessings of royalts and the economy oi the royal family. For my part, it does not alarm me at all that we are paying many times as much in pensions to our soldiers as Great Britain pays to hers; nor do I ever wish to see them deprived of their pensions, or cut short in their rates, in order to bestow them on the favorites of an Empire, as is done in that country. bir, in addition, however, to what we have already done for the American soldier, there remains, in my judg. ment, an imperative duty yet to be discharged. The soldier of the war with Mexico has not yet had justice. The life-time of a generation has passed by since he obeyed the call of his country and upheld Its honor in a foreign war. Thirty-four years ago he moved with the elastic step of youth to battle and to victory. He is now old and waits from year to year for that recognition which, though it may be small in amount, is always dear to a soldier’s heart.

There L but little difficulty in making a correct estimate of the number of soldiers and sailors who would be entitled to a pension for having participated in the Mexican war. The muster rolls contain 101,000, all told, in the military and naval service against Mexico. Of these, however, 17.224 were re-enlistments, showing that there were in fact but 83.776 men in that service. From this number must be deducted the dead who died in Mexico, 16,000, and 11,000 hereto fore pensioned for wounds and disabilities incurred in the line of duty. I regret to note the fact that 7,225 are marked as disertcis. This leaves a body of 49,551 men to the accidents of time and the assaults of disease during a peiiod of nearly thirty-three years of intense activity, and stupendous scenes of excitement danger and death. It is known to all that the survivors of the Mexican war were among the foremost to take part in the war of the rebellion They had been trained as soldiers, and (hey snuffed the approach of bat’le. Many of them died on the field or in the hospitals during the four bloody years. Others survive crippled, and drawing pensions for their services in the cause of the Union. AV these circumstances, added to the natural death rate since the close of (he war with Mexico, have reduced the numbei of soldier* and sailors now surviving, ami who would be entitled to pensions according to the most intelligent and careful cal eolations, to perhaps less than 10.000. Very competent judges who have spent much time in gathering statistics on this sub eet put the survivorship er titled to pensionsjas low as 7,000. It is said that the following facts are well authenticated:

Of the two Pennsylvania regiments mustered in with 2,503 officers and men but 181 survive. Of the second Mississippi, 1,035 officers and men. 47 survive. Of the Palmetto regiment, 1.077 officers and men, only 34 are now living. According to these melancholy illustrations no one need be alarmed at I (lie increase of our pension roll, even if the veterans of Mexico are added : to it. A million a year will pay what remains of them at $8 per month. A million a year! A single manufacturing in rhe city of Teri e Haute, where I live, pays more revenue annually into the Treasury of the United States I han it would require to pension every survivor of the Mexican war; and yet we are met with a sort of panic in rega’-d to the increased expenditures of the Government whenever this subject is mentioned. Sir, what we shall pay them is a mere atom compared with the mighty acquisitions of wealth and National power achieved by their courage and endurance. The veterans ot the Mexican war are not asking charity; they are not pleading for support out of the hard earnings of others; they simply desire an inflnitesmal per cent., a per cent, so small that it can not be designated, of that vast domain and inexhaustible treasure which they secured to their Government by their own exertions. Such a conquest of far-reaching boundaries, and of present and future wealth, power and glory as was made by their arms has perhaps no parallel in human history The ephemeral conquests of Alexander the Gr» a at in the East, the snbjugati n of extensive portions of Europe by Caesar, ami afterward by Napeleon, the Norman conquest of England by William the Conqueror, none of these conouests were equal in their effects upon the progress of the world to those which were accomplished by the war between the United States and Mexico. Does this statement ap pear extravagant? Let the cold facts of history speak for themselves, A condition precedent to the war was the annexation of Texas, a State larger in extent, more fertile in natural resources, and capable of sustaining a more numerous population than many of the leading powers of Europe. A settlement of the proper boundary between that State and Mexico followed the war, and secured ths disputed territory between the Nueces and the Rio Grande, a territo ry as lage ml as rich as the State of Ohio. The Union was composed of twenty nine States when the war closed, and by the treaty of peace a more extensive country than them all put together was Drought under the authority of the American flag, and under the protection of American law. The boundaries of the American Republic were more than doubled, and fountains of wealth were secured which have revolutionized the commerce of the seas and the traffic of the civilized parts of the earth. California, the Queen of the Pacific, with her dower of gold, marks a new era in the activity and advancement of the human race. Enough of the I recio.us metals have been taken from her mines alone, coined in this country and taken to Europe for coinage, .to pay our National debt. She has caused this continent to be spanned by an iron thoroughfare for the travel and transportation created by her wonderful products. The customs duties.received by the Federal Gov eminent at her ports, in any period of five yeais since her admission into the Union, has been sufficient to defray the entire cost of the war with Mexico. Nevada, Utah, Colorado, a portion of Wyoming, Arizona, and New Mexico, with their tremendous capacities for future development, also stand to the credit of those who fought at Cerro Gordo, and in the Valley of Mexico under Scott, and at Monterey and Buena Vista under Taylor.

The Imagination of man can hardly grasp the reality of these vast regions fifty years hence. If a statue of the precious metals was erected to-day to each surviving veteran of the Mexican war, instead of the enactment of a law giving them $8 a month, for their lives and their widows after ihem, the expense would be but a bavien pittance in comparison with what this Government has received as the proceeds of their privations and their valor. Sir, why further delay this act of justice? It has already been far too long delayed for the honor of this Government. There is but a remnant of these heroes left. Their, ranks are growing thinner from year to year, like the gray locks on their honored heads. Those, battlefields on which they startled the world with the constancy and daring of American volunteers are beginning to be seen through the haze of long intervening time. Let us not wait until all who made these fields illustrious have gone to their graves before we recognize, in some slight degree, the debt we owe them. Congress is far in the rear of a grateful public opinion on this subject. When we last considered it on this floor, less than a year ago, the Legislatures of twenty States had instructed their Senators and requested their Representatives in Congress to pension the veterans of the war with Mexico. Now. the Legislatures of twenty-five States have made similar instructions and preferred similar re-

quests. There are fifty Senators instructed, and more than 200 members of the House requested by their States to pension these surviving veterans without further postponement Ohio, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Indiana, California,Minnesota, Wisconsin, Oregon, Nevada. Kentucky, Tennessee, Texas, Alabama, Arkansas. Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia, Flor ida, M ssouri, New Jersey and Massachusetts have joined their potent voices in this dpmand. Will they Hot be respected and obeyed? Who will presume to say so? And why deer action another day? The step is to be taken, the American people have so willed it; why not take it now? > There is nothing sectional in this question. All the' States in this Union have shared in the increased greatness of our common country. E”ery section has alike reaped the fruits of the fortitude and wisdom display) d in the field and in the National conn cils in the conduct and in the conclusions of the war. American enterprise and intelligence, from the hardy regions of New England to the Pacific coast, and from the Northern lak< s to the warm waters of the Gulf, have found new and boundless fields for their restle.-s activity and their alu.ost fabulous achievements. I cannot believe that there will be anv f irther reluctance in any quarter to the small recognition and reward which I ask for those who proved themselves the benefactors of every portion of the American people, and in fact of the whole commercial and civilized world. I ask that (he resolution which I have offen d mav be brinted and lie upon the table; and I give notice that I shall call it up at an early day for the action of the Senate.

NEW RAILWAY COACHES.

Beautiful Designs and Tasteful Decorations, Combined with Perfect Ventilation and Luxurious Upholstering. Having secured appliances of approved merit, designed to insure the greatest possible protection against accidents of every character, the managers of the Pittsburgh, Cincinnati & St. Louis Railway Company, whose lines are more widely and fa vorably known under the title of the Pun Handle Route, turned their attention to further details by providing for the comfort of pations and catering to the growing tas’e for d- ■ corations in accordance with art principles. Twenty new coaches have been recently added to the equipment for the Pan-Handle Route, and eleven more are being constructed. These cars are finished in whifA walnut and bass-wood. The designs are entirely new, the interior being finished somewhat after the Eastlake style. Straight lines | redominate throughout with effective carvings in place of veneering. The effect is much more pleasing than toe old de signs, giving the interior the appear mice of greater solidity and strength. Large plate glass windows give passengers an uninterrupted view of the beautiful scenery for which the PanHandle and the, Pennsylvania Line is noted. Seats are supplied with easy springs and luxuriously upholstered frames. A feature of the new ears, which will commend them to the traveling public,is anew arrangement for heating and ventilating. Cold fresh ahis collected and forced, by the mo mentum of the ear. around the pipe and stove,and distributed from thence through the car by a flue. This pl n has proved very successful, since the adoption of an improved patent air receiver. The new eats are well lighted with sperm oil lamps, yielding a soft, eleir light, which is reflected by the delicately-tinted head linings so perfectly that a newspaper can be ■■end without straining the eyes.— When in motion, the comfort of passengers. particularly while reading, is promoted by the easy,soft movement of the trucks, each spring of which is made to conform to specifications carefully calculated according to the weight it has to carry. This attention details enables the Pau-Han die Company to invite its patrons to seats in more perfectly constructed coaches than have been run hereto ' fore.

Al TSS JffiJ BftLD ggOS HEAD’S Ib friend> A WONDERFUL DISCOVERY! CARBOLINE! A Deodorized extract of Petroleum, The Only Article that Will Restore Hair on Bald Heads. What the World has been Wanting for Centuries. The greatest discovery of our day, bo far as * large portion of humanity is concerned, is CARBOLINE, an article prepared from petroleum, and which effects a complete and radical cure in case of baldness, or where the hair, owing to diseases of the scalp, has become thin and tends to fall out It is also a speedy restorative, and while its use securer a luxuriant growth of hair, it also brings back the natural color, and gives the most complete satisfaction in the using. The falling out of the hair, the accumulations of dandruff, and the premature change in color are all evidences of a diseased condition of the scalp and the glands which nourish th* hair. To arrest these causes the article need must possess medical as well as elicruical virtues, and th* change must begin uudii the scalp to be of perm*--neut and lasting benefit. Such an article fs CARBOLINE, and, tike many other wonderful discoveries, it is found to consist of elements almost la their natural state. Petroleum oil is the articl* which is made to work such extraordinary results ; but it is after it has been chemically treated and completely deodorized that it is in proper condition for the toilet. It was in far-off Russia that th* effect of petroleum upon the hair was first observed, a Government officer having noticed that a partially bald-headed servant of liis, when trimming th* lamps, had a habit of wiping his oil-besmeared hands in his scanty locks, and the result was In* few months a much finer head of black, glossy hair than he ever had before The oil was tried on horses and cattle that had lost their hair from th* cattle plague, and the results were as rapid as they were marvelous. The manes and even the tails of horses, which had fallen out, were completely restored in a few weeks. These experiments were heralded to the world, but the knowledge was practically useless to the prematurely bald a.nd gray, as no one in civilized society could tolerate the use Of refined petroleum as a dressing for the hair. But th* skill of one of our chemists lias overcome the difficulty, and by a process known only to himself, ha has, after very elaborate and costly experiments, succeeded in deodorizing leaned petroleum, which rentiers it susceptible of being handled as daintily as the famous e«i< <te cologne. The experiment s with the deodorized liquid on. the human ha:r were attended with the most astonishing results. A few applications, where the hair was thin and falling, gave remarkable tone and vigor to t.’.a scalp and hair. Every particle of dandruff disappears oh the first or second dressing, and the liquid so searching in its nature, seems to penetrate to the roots at once, and set up a radical change from the start. It is well known that the most beautiful colors ar* made from petroleum, and, by some mysterious operation of nature, the use of this article gradually imparts a beautiful light-brown color to ths hair which by continued use, deepens to a black. The color remains permanent for an indefinite length of time, and the change is so gradual Unit the most intimate friends can scarcely detect its progress. In a word, it is tlie most wonderful discovery of the age, and well calculated to make the prematurely bald and gray rejoice. We advise our readers to give it a trial, feeling satisfied that one application will convince them of its wonderful effects. -Pittsburgh Commercial V Oct. 22, 1877. The article is telling its own story in the hands of thousands who are using it with the most gratifying and encouraging results : W 11. Brill & Co., Fifth Avenue Pharmacy, says. “We have sold preparations for the hair for upward of twenty years, but have never had one to sell M well oi '-ive sm It universal satisfaction. We therefore recommmul it with confidence to our friend* and the general public.” Mr. G’wts F. Hall, of the Oates Oper* Troupe, writes; “After six weeks’ use lam convinced. as m ■ also my comrades, that your ‘Carboline’ lias mid is producing a wonderful growth of hair where 1 had none for years.” C. 11. Smith, of the Jennie Hight Combination, writes: “ After using your ‘ Carboline’ three weeks [ am convinc d tliat bald heads can be ‘re-haired.’ It's simply wonderful in my case.” B. F. Airrntii, chemist, Holyoke, Moss., writes: “ Your ‘ Carlmline’ lias restored my hair after everything else had failed.” Joseph E. Pond, attorney-at-law, No. Attleboro, Mass., writes : For more than 20 years a portion of iny head has been as smooth and free from hair os * billiard ball, bitt some eight weeks ago I was induced to try your CarboTine, and the effect has been simply wonderful. Where no hair has been seen for years there now appears a thick growth, and I am convinced that by continuing its use I shall have as good a head of hair as I ever had. It is growing now nearly as rapidly as hair does after it is cut. OAKBOLINE Is now presented to the public without fear of contradiction as tlie best Restorative and Beautifler of the Hair the world lias ever produced. Price, ONE DOLLAR. per bottle.
