HIS PENSION CUT OFF.
EPH. C. DUNCAN'S NAME DROPPED FliOM THE PENSION KOLL.
His Friend Hoke Smith. Says He is Not Ei.titleii to a Pens'on, autl Tliererore "His Friend'1 Uses His Ax.
And Hoke used his ax. Ephriam C. Duiicau, of this city, has been notified by the Pension Department at Washiugton, that he is not entitled to a pension, and therefore his name is dropped.
This is another proof of this Democratic administrations great love for the old soldiers. But these proofs come to light every day. Thousands of names have been dropped from the pejsion rolls since Cleveland and his like have had charge of the aff tirs of this country, and nany more will be dropped before the end of this man Cleveland's reign. But the day of reckoning is close at hand, and in a short time this great lover of the old soldiers will be relegated to aback seat.
Eph Duncan is well known in this city, and while his pension was not enormous, yet it was a great help to htm in his declining days.
He is only one in thousands who left a sorrowing father, a loving mother and all tbe home comforts to face shot and shell and endure hardships and privations in defense of this grand and glorious country of ours. Shame! We say on such men as Hoke Smith and Grover Cleveland, to be set up as judges of the men who battled for the freedom tbe United States.

Id
looks as if some one
was neglecting to do their duty when a lot of "bums" ar* allowed to get drank, attack a sick boy, drive him half-dressed from the house, and flourish knives and revolvers in people's faces, shoot holes through the transoms and leave tbe town twelve hours later without being bothered or stopped. Where ar.e our city and county officers.
Wanted it Sent Quick.
The old man with the long chin* whiskers laboriously wrote out his telegram and handed it to the operator. "Will that go right away?" he asked. "Yes, sir," replied the clerk as he counted the words of the telegram on the operator's desk. Twenty-five cents, please."
The old man paid his money, but still liung around the office, and every few minutes he drifted to the window and glanced in tbe direction of the operator. "Say," he said at last, "when are you going to send that there telegram?" "It has been sent," replied the clerk. "You're a liar," retorted the old man, hotly. "You think you kin fool me 'cause I'm from the conntiy, but I've got eyes an' I can use 'em. That telegram's lyin' on the desk over there yet, an, the teller you give it to ain't done notkin' but jist read it and play on that ticker. I want it sent to the feller whose name is writ on it an' that dern quick, too.

Bend low and hark with me, my dear, How the winds sight A voice is on them that I fearIt brings the bygone days so near.
Like a soul's cry. Those whom we bury out of sight, How still they lie! Beyond the reaches of the light, Outside the realm of day and night-
Do they not die"?
Shall we unbar tho long closed door, You, dear, or I? Could love be what it was before If we should call them back once more
And they reply?
Would they life's largess claim againt They draw too nigh? O winds, be still! You shall not pain Jly heart with that long hushed refrain '^s you gweep by.
The dead have had thtnr shining day— Why should they try To listen to the words we say, To breathe their blight upon our May?
Yet the winds sigh. —Louise Chandler Moulton.
HE CRACKS A WHIP.
bat Be Is Phenomenal Artist In the fW* of the Lathi
A decided sensation has been created in Vienna by a man who probably stands alone in the world in his particular of performance. This gentleman's nam# is Piskslug, and he is an Austro-Hun^ garian by birth. He is an expert, or, rather, a phenomenal artist, in the usQj of the whip.
The first thing he does is to take A1 long lashed, stout handled whip in each! hand, and, with orchestral. aocompani*j ment, proceed to crack or snap them a terrific rate. The sound made b£ his whips in this manner is graduated from' a noise like a rifle report to the soft click of a billiard ball. It makes a curious sort of music and serves to show how ha can regulate tho force of each stroke.
More interest, however, is evinced] when he seizes a vicious looking whip! with an abnormally long lash. It is provided with a very heavy handle of medium length. This is his favorite toy, andi what he can do with it is really won-, derful. He first gives an idea of what: fearful force there lies in a whip lash iir tho hands of an expert.
A large frame, over which is stretchedj a calf or sheep skin, is brought on the stage. This is marked with dots of red paint. The man with the whip steps up/ and, swinging the lash round his head, lets fly at the calfskin. With every blow he actually pulls a piece right out from tho leather, leaving a clean cut hole.
These pieces are distributed among the audience to show that there is no trickery about the performance. After this he takes a frame with three shelves.1 On these there area dozen or more of medium sized apples lying very close together and provided with large numbers. Any orae in the audience may designate which apple ho wishes struck, and tha unerring lash snatches it out like a flash.,
A still more difficult feat is the snapping cf coins from a narrow necked bottle. Apiece of silver about the size of half a crown is pat over the cork of the bottle, which stands 011 the edge of a table. The whip artist, without appearing to take any sort of aim, sends the long lash whizzing through the air and picks off the ccm without jarring the bottle, much lu.ss breaking it.—Vi-: enna Letter.
