T. < liei’hood vs. The Bloody -Shirt. To the Editor of the Democratic Sentinel: The accompanying extract is fl-om the pen of Dr. C. A. Logan, wno in years long past was a deniy..ii of Rensselaer, and well known throughout the cox ' .IT-qn r. letter fr> m whir!i it is taken s written in the fall of 1805 and dated at Leavenworth Kansas, where lie was then resitting. Al the time of writing, he had just returned from Baltimore where he had been attending a mo, ting of the Grand Lodge of the I . S. of the I. O. O.

i - 'orts to fraternize the world; and at the same time discloses the magnanimous sentiments and sympathies of men who had jus emerged from the dreadful conflict of the civil war; and more especially, because it makes mention of an Individual who of -ate has dom himself .muchg honor in the eyes of the nation by the noble and conspicuous part he performed in the obsequies of Gen. Grant, and who, in all probability, will be the the next Governor of Virginia— Fitzhugh Lee:

‘‘The last meeting of the Grand Lodge of U. 8. was perhaps the most astonishing affair, vie r od by its results and developments, of this strange epoch. Representatives were present from every Southern State, save North Carolina and Florida. The Grand 1 .edge was in session one week—daring which time men of letters, of trade, officers of Government, the high and the low, all vied with each other in doing homage to that institution which amid the wreck of the country and crash f sound ties rode proudly above the din of battle and carried the white emblem of peace and brotherhood above the flags of v infuriated people. The man of the f>*r South was tkere and of the cold 1 101 til, it; id together they wept (no figure) over the desolation of four years. Ha’ l grasped hand and hearts swelled n unison, that the reign of pan, , n was over. Said Fitzhugh L • of Virginia:

T will go h me and tell my people that they have been mistaken in their estimates ot our Northern brothers; 1 will tell them wluit I have seen here to-day, and my Word for it, it,will do more towards cementing our distracted country than all the reconstruction policies of the wily politicians.’ I have no words to describe those scenes.’ J.

Facts for Soldier Boys.

The soldier boys should understand that our Democratic Commissioner of Pensions, General Amu Black, has reversed the onler of proceedure in cases for pension before him, in that, instead of treating the applicants as dead-beats and perjurers, and seeking to find an excuse for rejecting their claims —as has been the case under Republican rul 3 — he makes his iuiiligs upon justice and common sense, and in looking up evidence in their cases seeks to assist them in establishing their claims, mid when established is allowed aud a certificate issued at once in accordance with law, and hence it ’is «,haL claims are being paid to men all over the country who have been pleading for simple justice the past fifteen years with no success under the Dudleys & Co. Comrade Miles, of Kendalville, who has just received about $2,000 in settlement of ms long-standing claim, is the latest witness to the facts above sta ml, and many others we know \ f could do likewiso. And yet we are told by certain fellows who think the war is not over, that the ! .’v. -j.ocrh.ts would cat off all pensions and re-enslave the negro if once in power.—Albion Democrat.

The d y following the nomimtio ; of Ira Davenport, republican n . r(f i vei nor, Typographical Union No. 6 sent a letter to him, which after referring to the utterances of the party platform on servile labor, called Mr. Davenport’s attention to the employment of non-union printers in the Tribune office. He wfes urged to use his influence. eve the Tribune adopt union to denounce* the paper’s* 'motnods- ' publicly.— Failing to do tW he was informed that it would be. take?: for granted that |h< preferred t! ■■ support of White! aw Reid, rather than the support of the o rganized labor of New York. Mr. Davenport up to this time has made no reply, and the union is preparing to boycott him.

Several /ears ago Paymaster Tucker, He nat >r Logan’s son-in-law, took advantage of a survey and pre-empted certain lands in Arizona which had always been considered as belonging to the Zulu Indians. When the facts in the case were brought before t resident Arthur he issued a proclamation restoring the lam's to the reservation. Senator Logan made an earnest protest against this decision, and the matter hung fire until the other day, when Commissioner Sparks decided that the lands belonged to the Indians, and that Paymaster Tucker had no claim upon them.

President MoGosh, of Princeton College has two daughters who are great walkers. They are in the habit of walking to Trenton and back, a distance of about twenty miles, where they do their shopping. One day a dude accosted Miss Ikidgct McCosli on the road and said, in the usual manner: “Beg pardon, but may I walk with you?’' She replied: “Certainly,” and. let herself out a little. After the first half mile the masher bogan to gasp, and then as she passed e.e " a smile, he sat down j tiii 0 Li. :i milestone and mopped the perspiration from his brow. Ex-Senator DaAid Davis tells a story which may be useful to stump speakers in future campaigns. One day, while on the stump himself, ho had occasion to say: “I know no East, no West, no North, no South.” “Then,” said one of his hearers, “you’d better go home and study up your geography.” It broke me all up,” says Mr. Davis, “and from that time on till the close of my address there was no personal magnetism in my bursts of campaign eloquence.” Professor (looking at his watch): “As we have a few more minutes, I shall be glad to answer any question that any one may wish to ask” Student: “What time ig it, please?”

Hatched by a Cat.

A remarkable cat jives at No, 98 Fifteenth Street, South Brooklyn. From an early age she has displayed a great fondness for hatehin g out chiokens. She sits on eggs like an old hen, until tha feathered young break the shell, and then she cares for them as affectionately as if they were orthodox kittens. Four families of chickens have been hatched by this cat, and she is now busily engaged on the fifth, with a very fair prospect of success. The animal is the property of Mrs. Leonard, an intelligent Irish vom m, wh resides with her husband in a cottage at the above address. A Herald reporter called at the house yesterday afternoon to see the wonder. In one corner of the kitchen, partitioned off from the rest of the room, was a large bird cage, around which a dozen chiokens were strutting and picking up a meal. Inside the cage, on a bed of straw, was a cat of unprepossessing appearance, but of stalwart proportions, covering four eggs. ‘The latter were disclosed to view as the reporter approached the cage, and the animal left her nest to play with a chicken. Then she returned to her task, extending her body at full length over the eggs and completely hiding them. The chickens she had already bro’t into the w orld seemed to possess as much filial affection as is generally shown by little chicks for their natural motheVs, and they pirouetted about the cat in the most fa* miliar way, climbing on he| back, enjoying her warm coat of iter, until a movement of her body tumbled them off. After she had become weary of sitting, the cat made a tour of her young, and carried them to different parts of the inclosure. Her method of transportation was by the neck, and the chickens did uot seem to mind this kind of transit any more than if they were kittens. She has been very kind to them, and has never made a meal of her offspring. It is related that when her first chicks appeared she carried one of them by tk< neck up the cellar stairs. The flesh of the young biped being very tender, and the journey sornewhat long, blood soon flowed. Instead of devouring the cliick after she had tasted its blood, she applied her tongue daily to the neck until the wound healed. The cat came to Mrs. Leonard’s house about a year ago, unheralded and unknown, and the next day was found on a nest of eggs, deserted by a hen who should have been sitting. She was driven off repeatedly, for fear she would break the eggs; but, persisting in her purpose, brought forth a brood of chicxens that astonished the household. About a score of chickens have been bro’t into the world through her agency. —N. Y. Herald.

Getting Even With a Dead Man.

“Some folks regard the negro as childish and simple-minded,” said the South Carolina undertaker, as he borrowed another match to relight his cigar, “but it doesn’t always do to look upon ’em that way. It was only last week one of ’em beat me out 110 as slick as grease.” “How?” “Well I was sitting in my office, growling about hard times and the dislike of people to fall into my sympathetic care, when in walked a negro. He was the picture of health arid a jolly fellow.” " :low’s times?’ said he, “ ‘Poor,’ says I. “ ‘How much for a coffin for me?’ says he. “ ‘When?’ “ ‘To-day.’ “ Til give you that coffin over there and see you put under ground this afternoon for sls, ancl that’s $lO off the regular price ’ “ ‘Dun,’ says he, and he put down his ‘X,’ ” ‘ Well, I’ll be kicked to death b/ rabbits if he didn’t hang himself within two .hours, andbetore night I had to bury him!” “No.” “Sure's you’re born. He had

planned to snioide before he came m. I got even, though.” "How?” * "Resurrected the stiff and sold it for 14, and put the coffin back in stock.”—Detroit Free Press.

What Can he Done on a Bicycle.

Hartford Times: After the races Umary came on the track, radiant in a maroon velvet jacket and lavender tights. He showed some wonderful things that may be done with a bicycle. Before he got thro’ with his exhibition no one would have been surprised if he had thrown aside the wheel and ridden around on the air where it had been. His bast feats were : Riding with small wheel off ground. Backing with small wheel off ground. Swinging in small circle on big wheel only. P acing backward and ndmg forward. Standing up on saddle. Sitting on saddle, the machine being still and balanced.Machine upside down, mount the big wheel, turn the small one over •into place, and start off. Remov tug the small wheel, ride the large one backward or forward. Lay handle bar on the ground, mount & w *ieel, reach over and get the bar and start off. He succeeded on the third trial and was cheered.

Then he removed the handle bar, leaving only the big wheel which he rode. Next he removed the treadle from the big wheel, and, mounting, propelled it with his hands. Next ho* stood upright, hands in air, and rode the wheel. The*, he brought a common wagon wheel, placed his feet on the hub on eith r side and propelled it with his hands. He closed bv lay] ng .thffwheel on the ground, sudden [y pulling it upriglit, springing on and riding away. This was loudly applauded.

The compulsory education system has been tried in Brooklyn, and does not appear to work well. The cost of keeping eight official! on the lookout for truants for a year was $12, 000, and they reported only ten children for non-attend-ance, Meanwhile the police arrosted 873 boys and girls for play ing “hookey.”

A Captain’s Fortunate Discovery.

Capt. Colem n, schr. Weymouth, plying between Atlantic City and N. Y.. had been troubled with a cough so that he was unable to sleep, and was Induced to try Dr: King’s New Discovery for Consumption. T * not only gave him instant relief, but allayed the extreme soreness in. his breast. His children were similarly affected and a single dose had the same happy effect. Dr. King’s New Discovery is now the standard remedv in the Coleman household and on board the schooner. Free Trial Bottles of this Stand u a Remedy at f\ B. Mayor’s Drug Store: 4
