According to tta latest official l reporta from Washinglon, twenty-aiz t thousand of those interesting ladies pres. cnt themselves every three months before ( the accredited (genu of tta government and draw their pensions with a precision , that shows a high condition of financial discipline. Their ages, individually or ] collectively, no one 'of courac will be so r ungallant as even to hint at, but tbe date of the last war with Great Brilian is pretty well .pnKPKn the century, and is a more i MustirajBs record than even Judge Spelt's faftny Bible.,-, In tta darkness . aud uncertainty that envelopes pension E office at Washington, regarding tbe posI Bible Claims against tbe government aria. t ing out or the late war. tbe roll 'of ita relicts of tta heroes of Uiat patriotic epoch I in our history may afford some light and instruction. The total number of killed and wounded in 1812—15 campaigns wis a little more than five thousand. At ibe | E end of seventy years the pension list of | . the widows alone outnumbers that of the I Casualties by five to one. If tta widows ! of the veterans of tta rebellion stand by s the treasury as patriotically as those of 1818, "ibe commissioner of pennons in 1950 will have a couple of hundred thou, j {and of them on bis books. Two Bad Phrases. i , From tta New Tort son. Tbe correct expression for tta Ida in. r tended to be conveyed by tta phrase "in c this connection" will not always be the | 3 same, but in most cases it should be soruc1 thing like "in connection with this train j of thought," under these circumstances, t or "in this category." Tta correct eiprcs- . aioo for "in our midst" is "in tta midst . of us ;" and it is noteworthy that this . pliraac is always employed in that store- , hooje of pure and idiomatic English, : King James's Bible. The phrase "in this t connection" Is bad English, because the Doun means, according lo Webster, "union," •alliance," "connection," "cor. j rtspondenoc," or "family." but not a aerie* of tacts or ideas. Webster's Dicc lioomry says it is "much used in tta B- United State*, but not often employed by M tta beat writers in England." Webster 0 should bate added that, however much it may be used in this country, it it never 1 . employed or tolerated by good writer* t anywhere, except when their Kyle lapse* I, into culpable sloven tineas. Tbe phrase e "in our midst," "in their midst" is bad . because strictly it jaeaus nothing. A T number of persons collectively cannot ta . said to have a "mldK" of ttair own. Tbe d expression,- lays Webster, is "contrary to B tta genius of the language, opposed lo e tta practice of our beat and mux correct d writer*, and should ta abandoned." ° Figaro represents s little boy as Asking, ^ "Papa, what then Is U that distinguishes d 1 civiiitallun from barbarism ?" "O I It is a ' quite simple," replies the parent; "cirili- _ , xation kills ita enemy at six thousand melt tera with a can duo hall, and barbarism .- ' cfaopi off his bead Rilh a aabre."

" , In 1«13 Pocahontas was among tta Po- | r toroac .Indians. Captain Argali. a man of _ much shrewdness and czecutiw forge. . hut infamous for Ills dishonest practices, . j happened to be trading in the river at that , time- He quickly saw the advantage the e" English would gain in negotiations with Pow tatan for Ibq return of the white prisoners held by hiiB. jf ta could secure so ^ valpablc a bosugc as the chiefs daughter, r Willi a copper kettle ta bribed Japaxaws, ' tta chief with whom she was staying, lo j , entice tar on board Ita vessel, where 1 e i ' * detained tar, much to®* sorrow of the j " daughter of tta wilderness, whose life i | "■ "hitherto had been as free as that of ihe ! * wild crrwlures of the woods. To James, j town, where star bad frolicked as a child, j z and whitlier she had an often come a- a | *" frii-nd wilh food, ahc was now carried as | c an enemy and a prisoner. She had rcfuM-d , ' to enter the town since the departure of ° Captain Smith. This transaction, not very creditable to " the grai iludc of tta English, accomplished 5 its purpose in causing Powhatan to return r the white men held in slavery by him, f with the hart useful of the Stolen arms. ' * But he Kill contrived to evade some of the * demands of the English, who therefore rtv * taintd his daughter until the affair look a ° new lu.u. John Iiolfe, who seems to have . u been a widower, became enamored of l'o- . chantaa, now growing to womanhood, and * wrote a formal leller to Sir Thomas Dale, ■" promising to .convert her lo Christianity and marry her, which pleased tta govcrn1 or, as lending lo promote peace with the ' j Indians, and was' likewise acceptable to ^ j Powhatan. The chief sent sn old uncle j of Pocahontas and two of her brothers lo * witness the marriage. This marriage brought ab iut peace dur- ' ing tta'life of Powhatan, who, oo ooc occarion at least, sent a present of buckskius lo bta daughter and tar husband. A free intermingling of tbo two races took place-, Indians lo live in ttair bouses and hunt for Itam. This amily lasted eight years. In 1016, more thin two yearaafter their marriage, Rolfe and Pocahontas went to <° England w ilh Bit Thomas Dale. • Powc t tatan seal some Indians with his daugtiF" lor. ooe of whom was commisaioogd to n count the number of tbe English. The '■ arrival of the lady Rebecca, as Pocahon- ■" us was called ah rr her baptism, produee-d ,l a great eens-tSmi. Bta was received by ^ the king and many distinguished people, went to sec a play, and, by help of her naturallv quick wit, bore herself -very >• well. But it areame neoesaary lo tlesist ic from' calling tar Ibc wife of John Ho'fr, T for the king was very jealous, and it was ' seriously debaled in 1ta privy council whether, by martyint the daughler of a A foreign potentate witboct tta king's eonc- scut, Rolfe had apt committed treason. x The climate ef Leodan, and perhaps _ alan the uncongeaiai babiu of civilization. affected Poeahootas very unlakorahly. rt and she was Isk.tti to Brentf<cdAwbcrc h Smith, then busy with his preparaUOCS to — ! sail for New England, visited tar. In the ! aucccaaful efforts of Rolfe and others to j win tar to tbe Christian faith and to marts | riage, they had not scrupled to deceive ae ; her. by telling tar that Captain Smith wu y] dead, probably because they knew ata would not rnsrry another while man while she hdirved that great warrior alive.— he When, ttarafore, she saw Ibe "brave" who lie tad been Ita object of tar maidenly sdI0 miration, ata turned tar face awsy and refused to apeak for tta apace of two or ; 10 three hours. When she did, it was lo . cl rlalmtta privilege of calling him father, which Smith granted only after importunity, afraid, pcrhapa, of incurring tta king's j displeasure. Pocahontas went fb Graves- ; e- cod to take ship for her return lo America, « much srainst tar will, for she had become ! weaned from tar ravage life and greatly ;i_ attached to tbe English.
