Gay61eSs'haiidJ%g of coal stoves has proved, fetal in ai greiet many cases, the • escaping gas -carrying its deadly poison : ' to inmates of houses.. A paper which appears to have given the matter con- ,.. - siderable research presents the folio w- \\. ing valuable information: Some people throu^t ignorance of the principles up- on which stoves are constructed and eijual ignorance of the process\ of com- J Ustion, live hi an atmosphere\ impreg^ ated -with coal gas. They become so accustom/ed to it that the peculiar smell of the gas does not attract attention, \ Ignorant, these people are also saving, \ and endeavor to Keep a smouldering fire in order t o save coal. So with draughts \ closed, the coal is baked, not burned, causing it to give off its gases, which do not readily burn and are not carried off by the usual channel. The only safety is in a fairly glowing fire and provis- ions for such draught as will carry -olf the gases, or such a fire as will consume them. But few furnaces have ever been constructed that do not throw into liv- ing rooms quantities of coal gas when- ever the fire is stired, or does not burn briskly. People who burn coal may save money by keeping a smouldering fire in a cheap and badly constructed -' stove, with improper draught, but they shorten life at the same tune and run - the risk of sudden death from suffoca- tion. Those who use coal stoves should keep the draught free, and never em- ploy dampers in the pipe that sent off more than three quarters of the hot air \currant. A damper that shuts off the currant almost entirely is death. lh\ life: An Anecdote of Jenny Lind. In looking over an old pile of papers, o we find Jiie following anecdote about\ one of the purest and best women who' ever trod the stage: \Sweeter clearer, and mdre heavenly than her own en- trancing strains are the kind pulsations of Miss land's heart, when its chords vibrate.to the touch of the beautiful and holy. The following is among the most recent of her kindly offices. The waiting-maid who had charge of the rooms she occupied at the Clifton House, Niagara Falls, attracted her notice- by her oeauty, attention and fidelity. It so happened that this yoking woman,, by name Margaret Atkinson, was about to be marriedj and the news reached the good vocalist's ears. She immediately purchased for her a becoming and beau- tiful bridal outfit, earrings, gloves, bon- net, &c, and with her own hands at- tended to her toilet on the morning of the ceremony. This done, she took her in her own carnage, having • first read to her and her future husband the beautiful and affecting passages appli- cable to the^'occasion, conveyed her to Lewiston, entered the Episcopal Church, and officiated as Margaret's bridesmaid. There is no queen in Europe that would not be proud of such a maid of honor on a similar occasion.\ , A few days since a young drover nam- ed Hughes from the town of Schuyler went, with a partner, to New York, where they disposed of a lot of stock and where paid the cash, $900. Hughes placed the package of money in one of his pockets, and the two men took the train which passes here about 2 A. M. Just east of Little Falls a felfow who was aparently intoxicated came stumbling through the car. He finally fell over Hughes or near him, and the drover, in the kindness of his heart, as- sisted him to a perpendicular position again. When the train slacked up at Little Falls the supposed drunken man jumped off. Soon after Hughes part- ner asked him if the $900 package was all safe. Hughes felt for the money and discovered that it was missing. It, is thought that the fellow who appeared to be drunk picked the pocket of the drover when he assisted him to his feet. It is considered probable that the fellow had followed the .drover from New York with the intention of robbing him. The loss of the money falls heavily up- on the young man.— Rome Sentinel. The' Pensioners—their Payments. The Syracuse Conner of Saturday gave a somewhat detailed account of the pension payments made at the Syracuse agency by Major Poole: The Syracuse agency is one of the largest in the Uni- ted States. It includes every county in the State with the exception of the counties bordering on the Hudson river and Long Island and New York. The amount .to be paid out at this agency will be fully $700,000. In November, the agent paid out |221,000, the largest amount ever paid one month. Near- ly, all the pensions'are paid by enclos- ing the draft in a letter to the pension- er. On Monday, Tuesday and Wednes- day of next week Major Poole estimates tnat he will receive fully fifteen thou- sand letters from pensioners. The mail is brought to the pension office from the post office in hum'bags, which with their contents, arW so heavy as'to re- quire the combined strerith of two men to carry them up to the pension otlice. Major Poole estimates that on Monday about 500 pensioners will apply in per- son for their pensions During this month Major Poole will pay about 17,500 pensions. To our re- porter yesterday Major Poole stated that during the last three months eleven per-, sons had been arrested for cheating or attempting to cheat the United States through fraudulent pension claims and several will be arrested as soon as then- cases are properly worked up. In some of these cases the pension claims were just, but unscrupulous claim agents through forgery and other illegal prac- tices, have succeeded in obtaining the money due to the pensioners and have swindled them out of it. Major Poole declares that he has no doubt but men have drawn pensions from the office in this city who will never apply for an- other voucher. They have found that the government is determined to ferret out and expose fraudulent cases, and they will never apply for another pay- ment. There are men on the rolls now, who have no business to be there and who are not entitled to any pension. It is impossible for the pension agent on their face to detSct fraudulent pen- sion cases.'The claim of the pension is sent to the pension office at \Washing- ton and the certificate entitling the appli- cant to draw a pension is issued by the pension department and sent to the pen- sion agent in the district in. which the pensioner resides. The pensioner's name is placed on the roll by the pen- sion agent with the amount to be paid him. The agent has no discretion in the matter and it is usually only after the pension has been* paid that there occurs an opportunity, of detecting fraud. The pension agent is unacquainted, as a gen- eral thing, with the pensioners, many of whom he never sees. He has no means of knowing whether their claims are fraudulent or not. The pension department estimates that the amount of fraudulent pensions paid annually, under the present system, to be $4,000,000. Pension agent Poole is en- titled to great credit for the number • of fraudulent cases he has thus far discov- ered and exposed. Several convictions will be had when the cases are tried at Albany, which will tend in a measure to check the fraudulent pension bus- \tfSa. . , •-' tf!g!^!!!^!!F^tXri r P*>(0&&*% * •^.^wK*\»€X»j tW*j-fJ&*^PV^^ty'^i%fc''X.*Z'*B -GRAM) SfiPiEIDISPILAty^ FOB THE HOLIDAYS : AT H.

Do not forget that it costs something to puff, as well as to advertise; never sponge upon a printer in. any way, whatever. It i s the printers ink that makes nine-tenths of our fortunes; it takes money to buy ink, typeanjet paper, &&& y et i & ft? r °^ this, ifew fuse,the thanks-the printer gets.

John Muir in December Califnniian The broad, ninny founlnineil glucier to which the present Yosemite creek basin belonged, was about fourteen miles in length by four or five in width, and from live hundred to a thousand feet deep. Its principle tributaries drawing their sources from fountains set far hack among the northern spurs of the Hoffman range, at first pursued a westerly course; then, uniting with each other, and absorbing a series of af- fluents from the western rim of the basin, the trunk thus formed swept around to the southward in a magnifi- cent curve, and poured its ice over the north wall of Yoscmite in cascades two miles wide. This broad and comparatively shallow glacier formed a sort of crawling, wrink- led ice-cloud, that gradually became more regular in shape and river-like as it grew older. Encircling peaks began to overshadow its highest fountains, rock islets rose here and there amid its ebbing currents, and its picturesque banks, adorned with domes and battle- ments, extended in massive grandeur down to the brink of the Yosemite walls. When the long winter had nearly pass- ed, the main trunk, ebbing and melting from season to season, at length vanish- ed altogether in the sunshine, and a multitude of waiting plants made their way into the new ground prepared for them. In the meantime the- chief Hoti'ni&u tributaries, slowing receding to the shelter of their fountain shadows, con- tinued to live and work independently, spreading garden soils, deepening lake basins, and giving tinisluiig touches to the sculpture of their fountain rocks. At length these also vanished, and the whole basin is now full of light. For- ests flourish luxuriantly upon its ample morains, la%« and meadows nestle ev- erywhere amid its shining rocks, and a thousand gardens, filled with the fairest flrtvvers, are blooming along the banks of its streams. The Yankee Factory Girls. In one the factories i n Maine, recently, the proprietor rduced the wages, where- upon there was a general determination to strike; and, as the girls tfere obliged to give a month's notice before quiting work, they had meanwhile issued a cir- cular to the world at large, in which is the following interesting paragraph: \We are working out our notice—oan turn our liands to most anything—don't like to be idle—but determined not to work for nothing where folks can af- ford to pay.
