The Fitzgeralds, pension agents,made a big mistake in assaulting General Boynton, correspondent. The act has caused the newspapers to hunt up the practices of these men and the result is a very general warning to the suscep tible public not to confide any business to this firm.

Nearly everyone has had persona^ knowledge of some distressing case where a pensioner has been delayed in getting a pension by reason of technical faults in the application papers, How much more exasperating it is to have a firm like the Fitzgerald's deliberately delaying claitfis placed their hands that they may extort addi tional fees from the claimant. There are many abuses of the pension law but the commissioner should try to do away with the evils surrounding such firms as that of the Fitzgeralds. According to Washington dispatches, sufficient evidence is at hand to justify the com' missioner in closing the doors upon them.

England's queen has lately given evidence that she is not "right in her mind." The Chicago Herald sum marizes the situation as follows: Is Victoria altogether daft? Not only does Bhe direct Tennyson to break into metrical praises of Brown, whose body lies moldering in the ground, but she also demands that the pen of Theodore Martin, who wrote a life of the prince consort in tolerable prose, shall exercise his skill in biography upon so unpromising a subject as the same canny or uncanny Scot. More than this, personally interested in recovering valuable diamonds stolen from a titled friend, she is willing to compound the felony, and personally offers a reward of a couple of thousand dollars for their return. Manifestly, her majesty is going the way of her ancestors, the mad Georges."

Indiana Geology.

Indianapolis Saturday HeraJd. A Prof. John Collett, state geologist, has just published his annual report for 1882, from the "Department of Geo logy and Natural History." It is one of the most valuable reports that has ever been made for the state. There is in it much that mnst appeal to the practical sense of mankind. The chapter on "General Economic Geology, should be read by every man in the state. It will open the mind to a just consideration of the vast resources of Indiana. The opinion prevails, more and more as each geological report comes out, that the present state geologist is doing a good work for Indiana. He has an enthusiasm for his work and directs it with intelligence. There is in his last report a curious map of aboriginal Indiana, giving the counti as it was when the Indians possessed it. The map gives the Indian names of the rivers, creeks, lakes, villages, as they existed under the regime of the savages. The Lndiana department of geology and natural history is. conducted with energy and intelligence, -*HT

Older Than He Ijooked. New York Tribune. Colonel George L. Perkins, of Norwich, Conn., who celebrated his nine-ty-sixth birthday last Sunday, and is as hale and hearty as most men at fifty years, was a witness in the TiltonBeecher trial in 1875. When his name was called the crowd in the court room saw a good-looking, dignified gentleman, apparently about sixty years old, step briskly to the stand. Having answered the usual questions as to his name and residence, Mr. Evaxts propounded the succeeding question, "How lone have you lived Norwich, Colonel Perkins?" "Eighty^ seven years," responded the colonel with the utmost gravity. The lawyers dropped their pens, the spectators stared, the judge looked puzzled, and the jury were in evident doubt whether there was a lunatic loose or a new liar had arrived.

Ind., -August 26.—The

greatest sensation "that has been produced in legal circles 6ince the trial of the celebrated case of Gougar vs. Mandler took place last evening, when it was ascertained that the will of the Hon. G. S. Orth, late congressman from this district, was to be contested, as the suit is to be brought by Dr. W S. Orth, a physician of this city and son of the deceased by his first marriage, against Mrs. Mary A. Orth, the second wife, and'her two children, Harry and Mary, now Mrs. McNutt. After giving all of his real and personal estate absolutely to his said wife, he further provides that she shall have full power to dispose of the entire property as in her judgment

she

shall

see lit. He further adds: "I desire all my dear children to know and. feel that this disposition of my- estate is in my judgment the best under .the circumstances surrounding it, knowing that they will find my said wife as much disposed to love and care for them and to deal justly by them as I have always felt and acted_ toward them myself." In dividing the estate the testatrix totally, ignored the doctors* claim to any portion of it, and- refuses all overtures for a recognition of his rights as an heir, or propositions to compromise. It is claimed that the testator was of unsound mind when he made the will,, and that undue influences were brought to bear upoti him, by which a stepping stone was afforded to ignore the rights of the first-born to heirship in his father's property, Messrs. Coffroth and Stuart and Kumler appear for the plaintiff, and exGovernor Baker for the defendants. As strong legal timber is employed, a big fight is anticipated.

President W. R. McKeen, General Solicitor Williams, Master of Transportation Elliott and Assistant General Freight Agent Kendall left yesterday morning for a trip up the Logansport. The purpose of the trip is to inspect the road. Business on the Logansport has been on the increase ever since the road fell into the hands of the T. H. & I. people, owing to the great improvements that have been made. The party will be taken over the extension before returning.

A Difference in Depots, j'5

Kansas City Times.

"The management of the Union depot at St. Louis is far behind that of the Kansas City depot," said a wellknown railroad man yesterday. "It is almost impossible for a stranger to get attention at the St. Louis depot. I see that they have just prohibited the passenger agents from. entering the Union" depot office to purchase tickets for passengers, and for this the Union depot company deserves due credit These passenger drummers seem have for their special mission the bewilderment of passengers already nonplussed by the noise and confusion of the St. Louis Union depot. The Kansas City depot has the smoothest management in the country." "I was at. Buffalo the other day, continued the speaker, "and I was struck with the carelessness which characterizes the management of the principal depot there. We had twenty minutes for breakfast, but were not notified when our train would leave, so the passengers had to hustle arounc and find their trayi as best they could, without any assistance whatever. Such management as this appeared strange to a man from Kansas City.,

Moving the Vatican

New York World., It was hardly worth while for Monsignor Capel to .deny the truth or the dispatch which charged him with a secret mission to this country and with a scheme for moving the Vatican to the United States.

At the time of the annexation of Rome a syndicate of journalists un dertook to transport the papacy bodily to this country, but were unable to work up any excitement over the scheme.

For the Season is Just Bipe for Such a Trip as Outlined—Very Interesting: Details of September's Grand of ExcnrsionS.

Series

The grand excursions eastward announced for September by the Balti more & Ohio are attracting widespread attention, and it is not strange that such should be the case, as no more attractive trip has been oflered for years. In the way of rates the programme is particularly enticing, as it is very rarely indeed now-a days that a reduction on tickets is consented .to, down to so low a figure as half fare, or one regular fare for the round trip, thus taking in the enormous territory covered by the B. & O. system, which Chicago, Columbus, St. Louis, Louisville, Cincinnati and Pittsburg are important centres. Every preparation is being mado in 1$io matter of cars, diuing accommodations and the like, and the excursion will be re markable for complete and thorpugh facilities to insure absence crowding and the perfect comfort of all. Magnificent new parlor and sleeping cars will be run through without change, elegant dining cars provided and new day coaches in abundance. From Baltimore and Washington extensive facilities will be offered'for the continuous enjoyment of the excursionists. Two lines steamers will be on from Washington to Old Point Comfort, Fortress Monroe and Norfolk, with the fare not exceeding one dollar and a half for the round trip. The famous Bay Line of steamers from Baltimore to the points named will afford ample accommodation on superb vessels lighted with electricity. The noted Hygiea hotel at Old Point is of immense dimensions, one of the largest sea-shore or water-ing-place houses in fact in the country. It is a glorious trip down the beautiful Chesapeake Bay the Atlantic Ocean. Old Point never looked more attractive than now, and its bathing shore is a sight to look upon when filled, as it is every day, with hundreds of merry bathers tumbling about in the surf. Fortress Monroe is but a few stepa from the hotel and open to tourists, as are all the many places of great historic interest within easy reach of the peninsula, so celebrated in the annals of the war: The Soldiers' home, Hampton school

Hampton church'and too many other points to mention, while a brief steam boat ride lands the tourist in Norfolk, Portsmouth and other Virginia centers of interest. Making the trip from either Washington or Baltimore one night, and back the next, the excursionist has the whole day at seashore. From Baltimore Washington it is only a little over two hours' ride to Harper Ferry, the most noted spot perhaps among all the historic centres on the Potomac. The lovely river is followed a greater portion of the distance, and at the ferry one stands at the intersection of three states—Virginia,^ West Virginia and Maryland—^all replete with memorable recollections. John Brown's old fort still stands, so do the rains of the old arsenal, Jefferson Rock, etc., etc. The round trip costs but about a dollar and a-half, and the money well spent Another -inexpensive trip, and a most delightful one, too, is tbat from Washington down the Potomac, skirted by historic shores, to Mount Vernon. From Baltimore and Washington special fast excursion trains will be run to the wonderful Luray Caverns of Virginia, unquestionably greatly superior to any other known subterranean chamber. The fareis three fifty for the round trip, including admission to the caverns. In addition, there will be short steamboat trips down the Chesapeake Bay, with as low a rate as fifty cents for the round trip, and in fact no end of pleasure to be commanded at practically nominal figures. From Baltimore to Washington or Washington to Baltimore and return, the round trip will only be a dollar twenty, with trains at least every hour, and often hardly more than a quarter of an hour apart The distance is but forty miles, and B. & O. trains make it in fifty minutes, some of them, and others in one hour. This enables frequent visits from one city to the other, and excursionists who prefer may make their headquarters in Washington, where there ate hotel accommodations for a very multitude. Baltimore is also exceedingly well provided with, hotels, and in either city th6 regular rates will be strictly adhered to. Those who contemplate securing sleepingcar accommodations en route will do well to write-to B. & O. agents to this end, also as regards any information which may be desired. The preparations for the grand Oriole festival in Baltimore are being pushed forward

Strong Testimony. from a, Gentle Whose Lib baa been Saved by the Use of Swift's Specific. rSpecial Correspondence Atlanta (Ga.)

Constitution, July 22d, 1883.] Mr". W. R. Robison has been using Swift's Specific for a cancer," said an acquaintance to yoar reporter last week at Davjeboro, Ga., "and. thinks it has enred him and as*cancer is generally regarded as incurable, you.had better go to see bim and let the people know of it." ..

Accordingly I drove six miles and found Mr. Robison, introduced m' and told him my errand. Mr. Robison replied: "You can tell the Swift Specific folks that their S. S. S. has

SAVED MY LIFE,.

and I have such faith in its eventually curing me, that I would not, for $5,000 cash, obligate myself to quit taking it for good. For twenty-five years I have suffered beyond expression from cancer, and its effects, and-have exhausted the whole catalogue of remedies. The medicines seemed to feed instead of curing it, and it grew gradually worse. The cancer was on the left side of my neck, just behind the ear, and in time Bpread its poison through my enure system. My neck was stiff, the whole of the upper part of my body was full of pain, and I had virtually lost the use of both arms. My general health had given away, and the cancer was sapping my life away, andjt was only a question of time to myself and my friends as to when life would yield to its ravages. In this condition 1 the use of Swift's Specific, and the first bottle relieved the stiffness of my neck, and my general health began to improve. By the time I had finished the second bottle I had regained the use of my arms, and felt like a new man. The Specific drove the poison but through the cancer, and relieved my system of it in that way. "I believe that Swift's Specific is the greatest medicine ever discovered, and that is the only remedy known to science tbat will cure cancer, aqd it does this by forcing the poisoned blood out through the pores of the skin. I will take pleasure in giving any information in my power to other sufferers.-

My address is W. R. Robison, Davisboro, Ga." This is certainly the most remarkable case on record.
