government nntil their unfortunate comrades were kindlv cared for. Mr. Voder of Ohio spoko in favor of the per diem pension bill asked for by tho Union Veterans Association, the G., A. jmd the Kansas and Indiana Service Pension Association. He charged the Kepnblic-. aus with not being true to their promises to tho soldier. For live months Congress had ben in session and the House had considered no pension legislation save a few minor bills. Jow tho majority came forward with a FO-calleQ. service pension bill, which might better be entitled a bill "providing pensions to soldiers after they are "dead and their widows, providing they becomepauners before they die." - If 'he could not get tho per diem bill, he would vote for tho pending measure, but lie would voto under protest. Mr. Martin of Indiana held tho same

view, ana spoke m support or a peraiem ension and an arrears limitation repeal rill. He asked leave to otter the Grand Army bill as a substitute for the Morrill bill, but Mr. Kerr of Iowa objected. Mr. Tarsney of Missouri opposed tho bill, because it made no discrimination between the soldier who served three months and . tho soldier who served three years; because it made no distinction between disability arising from service in the army aud disability resulting from the vicious conduct of the person to whom the pension was granted. The pending bill ought not to go into history under the appellation of the Morrill bill, bat under the appellation of the 'immoral bill." Mr. Kerr of Iowa thought that the bill went as far as Congress could go. in view of tho promiso the Republicans had made for the reduction of taxation. Mr. J. D.Taylor of Ohio earnestly advo cated the bill. Mr. Grosvenor of Ohio said this; bill, added to the prisoner of war bill when it was passed, would add -."jO,000 names to the pension rolls, and would make that roll. 000,000. The total expenditure for pensions would then reach Slr0,000,000 per annum. This gross sum amounted to nearly 43 per cent, of the cross income of the Government. It did not do all he wished, but it resulted in a munificent generosity such as the world had never before witnessed, and exceeding that of all the civilized nations combined. Mr. Springer of Illinois was opposed to the bill because it was not based on a just principle to the soldiers. It granted the same pension to a man who served ninety days, when the war was looked upon as a picnic party, as to a man who fought for "tour years. This bill was not askedfor by the soldiers of tne country. If the question had not gone into the Republican caucus there would have been a large majority of the House in favor of a per diem pension bill: Mr. Savers of Texas opposed both bills in the interest of the tax-payers of the country, and predicted that if tho measure became a law our pension expenditures for t the fiscal year ending June SO, 1802, would reach 8200.000.000. Mr. Perkins of Kansas said at the last election the Republicans had promised that, if they were successful, the man they honored by their votes would not spend the Fourth of July vetoing pension bills nor go fishing on Decoration day. They had made promises to tho soldier, and those promises they intended to keep, notwithstanding Democratic opposition. . Mr. Turner of Kansas said that justice, humanity and gratitude demanded a service pension. On motion of Mr. Cheadle of Indiana an ameudment, agreed to in caucus, was adopted to the Morrill bill, reducing the ago limitation from sixty-two to sixty years of age. The Morrill bill was then agreed to as a substitute for the Senate bill yeas 183, nays 71. Mr. Yoder moved to recommit tho bill, with instructions to the committee on invalid pensions to report back a per diem pension bill. The motion to recommit was lost yeas, 48; nays, 1GL Following is the affirmative vote: .Earwig, BUgs, Brickner, Brookshire, Buckalew, Bynum, Campbell, Carutn, Cbipman, Clancy, Clunle, Cooper (Ind.), Covert, Cumuilngs, Dnnpby, Fitch, Flthlan.

New Orleans. April SO. Captain Kingman, of the United States engineers, in conversation to-day with a reporter, expressed the belief that the break in the Lobdell levee would be closed. The crevasse is. a wide one and tha water rushes through it with great velocity and consequently it will require heavy and strong piling. If the crevasse is closed it will bo the means of saving $150,000 to the planters whose crops are now under water. Captain Kinsman remarked that if the amount now in the hands of those conducting the work was not eutlicient to defray the expenses tco planters could easily make up the deficiency. It would bo a very profitable investment for them. According to Captain Kingman's statistics the river at its highest was two feet higher than in 1SSJ, higher than the oldest inhabitant living on its banks evor saw before. The river has fallen three feet in the past few days, and will continue a steady decline. The old levee in front of Hermitage on the Pointe Coupee side caved in at 3 a. m today, and, letting the water against the new levee, caused it to give way at 6 a. m., and it is now betweeu two and three hundred feet wide, and widening. This break will prove disastrous to False river. West Baton Kougo and Iberville, aud also put the Grosse Tcte levees to a severe test. There is no material chango in the situation at Morganza. The break in the Bayou Sara was closed to-day. Kations for the Sufferers. Washington. April CO. Secretary Proctor to-day received several telegrams from Captain Weston, of the subsistence department at New Orleans, in regard to the steps taken for tho relief of the flood sufferers.

Ho estimates that the people of Mississippi will require a million rations, and those of Louisiana a few hundred thousand more. Ho says rations cost about 0 cents each. He also reports that he will to-morrow load a steamer with rations and other stores for Cattish Point, Lula, Friar's Point. Sun-tlower Landing, Skipwith, Newton. New Kansas Landing, lien Lamoml, Arcadia, Chotard. tolling Fork and other places in Mississippi, reported as needing rations for twenty days.

It is reported mat tne emperor said, laughingly, to jeu eral Caprivi, "If the mob should prove men acing 1 shall play Kicnard tho III to their Wat Tyler." It is added that the Lmperor would not bo displeased at tne occurrence of riotous demonstrations, as it would give him an opportunity of assuming command of the troops and showing tho maases how readily ho can force them into submissiou.

Tho IJUhop of Lincoln's Alleged Itltuallstlo Practice A 1'rirate Admonition. London, April CO. Lord Victor Seymour, tho rector ot Carsbalton, has gono so far in expression of opinion on tho trial of tie Bishop of Liucola. for alleged

ritualistic practices as to state publicly that it will be impossible fcr the Archbishop of Canterbury, before whom the case is resting, to condemn llishop King. This assertion is based on the fact that the primate has himself been present both as bishop and archbishop, at services whore every ono of the so-called illegal ceremonies have been observed. Moreover, it is a matter of record that the Archbishop of Canterbury, whilo Bishop of Truro, permitted tho singing of the Henedictus and the Agnus Dei at the choral celebrations, both of which were abolished when liishop Wilkinson came from St. Peters, Eton square, to Truro. The belief is becoming general that the liishop of Lincoln will be treated to a copious coat of whitewash, with a private admonition not to repeat his offense.

The evolutions of the United States vessels of war in the Mediterranean have been observed with no little interest by tho naval authorities here, and regular reports have been J received from British agents at the points where the -. squadron has been sojourning. Expert opinion is decidedly 'favprp,tl to tho Amer ican navy, both aa.to skill in seamanship and effective equipment; and the tone of the English press, in alluding to the subject. admits this. Just at present much discontent is exhibited with the large expenditures and poor resnlts in the royal navy. and the rage for sea-going leviathans and guns of tremendous calibre has been greatly dampened. Why the Czar Left Gatschina. London, April SO. A lelter: from . SL Petersburg says the Czar was afraid to pass May day at Gatschina, and that this fear was the motive of his sudden return to St. Petersburg. An intimation has reached the imperial ears that whilo there would bo no worki n cm ens demonstration on the 1st of May in Kussia, tho date might be made memorable in a way more terrible to the Czar, and it was thought best to be intrenched for the day among the powerful garrison and police of St. Petersburg.

The expedition under Mr. Jackson, an officer of the British East Africa Company. has arrived at Uganda and concluded treaties with Mwanga and other chiefs, : placing Uganda exclusively under British' influence. The Pope is said to be deeply chacrined over the failure to establish regular diplomatic relations with England, for it is now conceded that Lord Salisbury's government will take no step in that direction, although desirous of maintaining friendly relations with the V atican. The government officials of Canea.

T remember," said my bookish friend, with a laugh, "a funny thing which Sarah Bernhardt did in our store when she was last here. She dropped in ono morning, and, of course, all were exceedingly anxious to wait upon her. Finally it resolved itself as my duty, and I sold her quite a bill of books. I showed the great actress every attention, and she seemed pleased. Just as she was about going out she reached for my pencil, and asked me something in French which I.did not understand. Seeing that I failed1 to catch her meaning she looked all around on the counters, but apparently did not see what she wanted. Then, quick as a Hash, before I could comprehend her aim, she took up a volume of one of the very best sets of Scott in the store, bound in tree calf, opened it to tho bastard pages, wrote something on it, calmly tore out the leaf, handed it to me, smiled and went out. On looking at the leaf, she had written on it a pass for two to her performance that evening! But she did it at tho cost of nearly ruining one of our best sets of books in the store.? Varying the Monotony. Chicago Mai!. , The base-ball season has fairly opened. A riot took place at a ball park in Long Islaud City yesterday, in which the manager wa assaulted by COO spectators and nearly killed. It would appear -from this that the novelty of tho ensuing season is to be abuse of the manager instead of the umpire. It is a good idea. The umpire has been kept on crutches for years, while the manager has loafed around in the reporters7 box and smoked good cigars, and invited his soul, as it were, in a desirable atmosphere. It is his turn to bo thrashed and walked on. It Required Assurance to Ask It. Paul Tioneer Press.

RECOLLECTIONS OP GENERAL GKANT. A Trusted Stenographer Who Was with Him in Mexico Relates Some Reminiscences. Frank G. Carpenter, in Philadelphia Tress. Mr. Dawson said: "General Grant's trip to Mexico was purely a patriotic ono, and he hoped through it to bring the two countries closer together. Ho was a great enthusiast on Mexico. lie had been there as a boy in the Mexican war, aud had served in every battle exceot that of Buena Vista. At the close of the war in 18C5 he had impelled our army in the direction of Mexico, and had thereby made Maximilian leave the country, lie was indirectly instrumental in forming the republic, and he had a somewhat sentimental interest in it. When he went to Mexico in 1881 it was in tho interest of all sorts of American investments.' He wanted to see railroad, relations established between the countries, wanted to push the submarine telegraph, and, in short, was desirous of bringing the countries together. He was not interested in any investment, and ho had ncvlinancial frospects. present or future; ir. the trip. e was offered a big salary by several companies to act as their otlicial in making the trip, but he refused all such offers. Ho finally consented to be the president of a nominal company, and in this ho only took enough in the way of pay to cover his expenses. v "As a proof of his non-mercenary motives an incident occurred whilo we were in the City of Mexico which established this bevond doubt and ovinced a courage and probity quite as great as Grant ever evinced in his life. The Real del Monte is one of tho largest gold mines in tho world. It has been operated for more than a centnry, and it is said to have produced more gold than any other raino in the world. This mine was being worked with good success while we were in Mexico, ana its prospects for tho futuro wero still great. The company which operated it were anxious to stock tho mine and 11 oat it in Europe, and they wanted to get Grant to take the presidency of it. An Englishman was the agent selected to influence Grant in this direction, but he evidently understood tbeir purpose, and he did not givo the man a chanco to make his proposition. Finally the agent called upon me and told, roe that he would make me rich if 1 could get him an interview with General Grant whereby he could induce him to accept the presidency of the mine. He hung around me for a long time, and finally I told the General of his anxiety for the interview. General Grant told mo that he would make no apE ointment to sen the man, but that if he appened to call upon me at some time when he was present I could introduce him and he would 6ettle the agent. As General Grant was in my room at tho hotel at certain times every day, the appointment was an easy matter. I told the mine representative, and ho called promptly the following day, and, though General Grant had not known of the appointment, he was present. I introduced the man when ho camo in, and he at once began to talk about his mine. He said nothing about the floating of the 6tock, but he described tho value of the mine, and bluntly offered General Grant the sura of 1,000,000 in cash if he would accept the presidency of it. The General quietly heard him through, and then said quite as quickly that ho was sorrv he could not oblige him; that his trip to Mexico was witnout personal interest on his part, and that he had refused to accept any remuneration for the trip. He said that he could not connect himself in any way with the mine, but that he would be glad to mention it to his friends when he returned to New York. His reply was so decisive that tho man accepted it as conclusive, and bowed himself out. 'General Grant could havo accepted this presidency without dishonor, for the mine was a good one, and there was no doubt of its value. Had he been made presiden t, the company could kv e placed the stock in Europe for untold millions, and it is not improbable that improved machinery and methods of working might havo even brought in a fair rate of interest upon such an investment." The conversation here turned to Grant's relations with Conkling, and Mr. Dawson told me how Grant received the newb of the resignations of Conkling and Piatt in the Senate. This happened." said he, "while General Grant was in Mexico. We were sitting at a table in his room when the news came, and General Grant picked up theback of a letter and wrote a telegram upon it to'J. II. Work, of New York, the secretary of the syndicate of which he was the nominal president Ho addressed Work because we had a cipher telegraphic codo in common, and he gave me tho telegram, telling mo to translate it and send it to New or k. Here is the telegram as General Grant wrote it." said Mr. Dawson, handing me a sheet half covered with the autofrapbie writing of General Grant in pencil, t read as follows: "I hope the Legislature will sustain its Senators. The treatment they have received is scandalous, and ought to bo rebuked. Without New York tle present administration could not have come in power. Without the active support of the present Senators New York could not have been carried Republican." This telegram," continued Mr. Dawson, "was sent bv me in cipher, and had it reached New York it might have changed tho whole course of American history. It did not get through, however, and it lodged at Vera Cruz. It would havo gone through had it not been sent in cipher, but General Grant was supposed by the leading linaucier of the United States, and tho leading financier of Mexico, to be interested in Mexican investments. These .two great capitalists controlled the telegraph wires of both countries and they thought tho cinher disDatcft was a business one and stopped it. Genoral Grant did not know it wasstoDDed until he beean to receive telecrrams he did not understand and failed to recaive replies to business telegrams which he had sent. We found, shortly after this, that one trade which might have been made to the advantage of American capital was lost in tuis way. it was tne purcnase of tho Vera Cruz railroad, which was of fered for sale, but which was lost because General Grant conld cet no replies from New York concerning it. This stoppage of the telegraph messages got to tho ears of the government of Mexico through Gen. Grant, aud it caused considerable govern mental correspondence." The talk here turned to General Grant's book, and Mr. Dawson weut on: "At the time I began work with General Grant most of the lirst volumo was done. This was written almost entirely with his own hand, and only a few corrections were made by him as to tho Vicksburg and Chattanooga campaigns. Very little cf the second volumo had been written, though he had put the Wilderness campaign into sbapo in accordance with his arrangements to write four articles for the Century. After I came ho bezan to dictate, and he continued this as long as he was able to do so. As he went on his voice grew weaker and weaker, and toward tho last I had to take my seat very close to his. and he whispered his words in my ear while I took the 02 down in shorthand. His last dictation was on the -2d of June. After this ho would sit with his pad a on nis Knee, near mo, ana would write down his ideas, and hand them over to me to put into shape. He was very weak, and his hand grew more and more trembling as he neared his death. There is Quite a dif ference in his copy, as vou will see by the telegram I have shown you and this sam plo showing his idea of a Hying bridge." Mr. Dawson here handed me a short page of General Grant's handwriting in pencil. with a rude drawing of a river and a living bridge. A living bridge, he said, is a kind of bridge attached to a rone tied to a tree. which, swinging down a river, is made availablo by pulling one end to the side so that the other end swings around and hits theoDPosite bank. General Grant's pict ure explained this, and the writing was as follows: "At Chattanooga there was a Hy ing bridge at that time. A third, bridgo

In wnich eat Baroness linrdett-Contts, who shocked London some time ago by marrying a man nearly lorty years her junior, lno Baroness has been for years Stanley's kindest friend and patron. Ho might have been excused had he ventured to kiss the old lady, and none would have been surprised if he had shaken her hand. But the bored hero did neither. He had not seen bin patron since he had set ont in quest of Kmin, but he simply bowed, stepped wearily into the carriage, sat alongside the 15a roc ess. tried bravely to smile, and relapsed into silence. People cheered likemad. but Stan ley simply moved bis head in a languid. Oriental manner, and so continued until ho reached his lodgings in Kensington. The crowds, except near the railway station. wero not very large, but tho reception accorded to the explorer was unniietabably hearty. As for Stanley himself, he deserves pity rather than blame tor his lack or enthusiasm, as ho said to the Press corre spondent: 'I am simply bored to death," and yet tho wretched man has almost tho wholo of tho London season before him.

The President recently .wrote officially tc' Attorney-general Miller calliug his atten tion to serions cases of resistance to legal process in Florida. Editor Hawthorne, of the Jacksonville Times-Union, publishes an open letter in which he at lirst intimates, that the President has been misinformed in. the matter, and then coutradicts himself, admitting that there has been a very serious resistance to the processes of law, and goes on to explain tho reason why, and charges that the policy of the district courts of Florida is one of bitter persecution of Democrats. It will no doubt turn out that the President's letter waa entirely justified by the facts, and that the resistance has come from Democrats who desired to defy the authority of the law. not becauso it was wrongfully enforced, but because it was vested in Kepublicau hands. Currency Figure. Kansas City Journal. Secretary Windom places tho total circulation in tho country at $1.42o,000,000. or S21.70 per capita for a population of 05.000,000. Ho admits that certain deductions must bo made, and does not give his belief in regard to the actual per capita circulation in the hands of the people. France, country of very limited area, has a currency of uot less than $12 per capita. The 6amo per capita circulation in the United States would give $2.7X0OO.O0O. or Sl,U1.000.0CO more than the total now in this country. With a net average incrcaso of $.Y),000.0U) per annum to the currency of this couutry it would take almost twenty-6evf n years to reach the total now enjoyed by the French people. m m - Chicago Tribune Caught Napping.
