Mrs. Priscilla D. Twiggs, of
Baltimore, 80 years of age, has -asked
Congress to increase her pension from
$25 to $50 a month, and made this
remarkable statement: "I imagine
few have stronger claims upon the
liberality of the government than I
have, every male relative having been
in the United States service; my
grandfather, Commodore Decatur Sr.,
having been in the French war, and
his two sons in our navy. Com
modore Stephen Decatur, Jr., dis
tinguished himself by recapturing and
burning the frigate Philadelphia in
the harbor of Tripoli, in which
engagement his brother, James S.
Decatur, was killed. Again, during
tho war with Great Britian, in 1812,
he further distinguished hiniBelf by
capturing tho British frigate Macedon
ian. My father, Capt. James Mc
Kuight, was in the marine corps at
the time of his death. Both my
brothers were lieutenants in the navy ;
the elder, Lieut. Stephen D. Mc
Knight, was with Commodore Porter
on board the Essex, and was after
ward lost at sea on board the United
States sloop-of-war Wasp. My hus
band fell at the storming of Chapul
tepec, and my only son, George D.
Twiggs, was killed in an engagement
one month previous, he being on his
way to join his uncle, Gen. D. E.
Twiggs, as his aid."
Governor Sherman, of Iowa, has
raado the following extraordinary
statcmen t : "I saw President Garfield
a day or two ago in Cleveland. You
need not look astonished I really
saw him not his spirit, but his own
form and features. I bad visited his
tomb to do homage to the spot where
the martyr President was sleeping.
The watchman in charge, on learning
whence I came and who I was, asked
me if I would like to see the presi
dent. I was as greatly surprised as
you can be. Ho simply showed me
he was in earnest, invited me into the
tomb, unscrewed and removed the lid
from that sacred casket, and there lay
General Garfield before me just as
be looked the day of bis funeral as
if in a weary, unrefresbing sleep. I
was surprised, for, despite the ema
ciation of those noble features, I was
at once struck with their likeness to
the general, as I had seen him alive.
I presume that years will pass ere tho
preserving traces of the embalmer's
work will have been removed from
all that is left on earth of Garfield.
He was a great man, and it shows in
his calm though paiu-shrunkeu fea
tures still. O. liepublican.
Crop Report from Three States
and. One Territory.
Sioux City, June 20. The Daily
Journal will to-morrow morning
publish crop reports from somethiug
over one hundred points in North
western Iowa, Southwestern Menne
sota, Southern Dakota and North
eastern Nebraska. The general out
look is more favorable than ever
known to be before at this season of
the year. The acreage is largely in
creased, and in some of the Dakota
counties it is three hundrediper cent,
greater than last year. Small grains
are simply immense, and nothing has
happened to hurt the crop. Corn is
somewhat backward, but the stand is
good, the plant strong, and mauy
points report it as far along as usual
at this time of the year. The acreage
of corn is largely increased over any
previous season, while wheat aud
other small grains remain abont the
same. Owing to the new farms open
ed up, the prospect at this time is for
the most abundaut harvest ever gath
ered in this section of the northwest.
During the great floods in Louisi
ana there was seen one day moving
through the aisles of shadow among
the tall gum and oak trees, whose
foliage made s green roof for the voy
agers, a little raft some twenty feet
long by nine feet in width. In the
bow sat a young wife of twenty, hold
ing her child.' In the center there
was a heap of plain country furniture.
Behind this were piled pots, kettles
and pans. On her right, with sad
features and doleful faces, were four
deer hounds, and behind them, rest
ing on the beds, an old shotgun and
rifle. Pulliiig at the oars was the
husband. Hardly two inches out of
water, the flat moved along and pass
ed out of sight. It represented all
the worldly goods of a young planter
saved from the flood. He bad some
forty-eight miles to go to reach bis
former home.
District CoHffrewiional Coavea
tioas. We have taken a good deal of pains
to ascertain the views of leading re
publicans throughout the state in
regard to what should be the action
ol the 6tate central committee at its
approaching meeting relative to the
congrestioual conventions this fall.
Opiuion is solid against any action
looking to nominations by represent
atives of the districts at the time and
place of the state convention. There
is substantial unanimity in lavor of
the state committee simply naming
the time and place for the chairmen
of the county central committees in
each district to meet, and arrange ft r
the district conventions aud for pri
maries and county conventions for
the election of delegates thereto. In
other words, let the whole matter be
"remanded to the congressional dis
tricts." This is republicanism, and
true republican procedure, according
to the decision of the national repub
lican convention which nominated
Garfield and Arthur. Omalia lte

Senator Vaa Wyclt'a Proposi
tion. Senator Van Wyck, of Nebraska,
offered a resolution that tho nomina
tions for the tariff commission be con
sidered in open session instead ot
with closed doors. In view of the
interest taken by all branches of in
dustry iii the commission, the wide
Bcope of its work, and the fact that
the general public has but the most
meagre information about the nomi
nees, Senator Van Wyck's proposi
tion seems a fair ono. What is want
ed upon this whole subject of the
tariff' is more information, and any
action that shall tend to enlighten the
people should be unhesitatingly ta
ken. Albany Journal.
Railroad Extension la Iowa.
Ottumwa, June 20. The Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad com
pany commenced work to-day at this
city ou their extension from Cedar
Rapids southwesterly to Kansas City,
via Homestead, Iowa county, and
Sigearucy, Keokuk couuty. The road
bed between this city and Sigearucy

work is commenced here to put this
old grade in condition to lay down
the iron, which can be done with a
moderate outlay. This is ono of the
extensions begun last year which the
Milwaukee company propose to com
plete this season.
Kearney Journal: A sad report
comes from what is called Death
creek, about twenty miles northwest
of Kearney, wherein a boy sixteen
years old herding sheep for J. W.
Black, was found doad yesterday
afternoon. Tho name of the unfor
tunate boy is Frederick Q. Burdick,
son of George D. Burdick. He went
out yesterday afternoon as usual to
herd, and was found towards night
dead, without any sign or cause of
death visible. Coroner Switz went
out this morning, but will probably
not return until to-morrow. Some
suppose that he was killed by light
ning. It is another of those sad
events of life unaccounted for.
The theory that multitudinous high
buildings and tapering spires so dis
tribute electricity that seyere and
damaging thunder storms are rare in
great cities is strengthened by the fact
that up to June 2 London had not
been visited by a single thunder
storm, whereas fatal accidents from
lightning has been unusually numer
ous in the midland counties of Eng
land. The same theory is curiously
contradicted by the records of the
Berlin Fire Brigade, which show that
recently, in a single hour, the brigade
received twenty-eight calls to extin
guish fires caused by lightning.
A committee of physicians have
presented a petition to the President,
iu person, asking for the creation of a
scientific commission to determine
the sanity or insanity of the condemn
ed man Guiteau. The petition is
signed by medical experts, who state
their conviction that Guiteau is in
sane and urge the propriety of a re
prieve. The President listened pa
tiently and taking the papers said
they would be considered. They will
be referred to the attorney general for
a report. All other papers previously
received bearing on the case have
been similarly referred.
Crop reports from the several coun
ties herein named, have been made
from personal inspection aud some
what of a lengthy accouut published
in the Sioux City Journal. These ac
counts represent the crops of wheat,
corn, barley, flax, potatoes and oats
upon the whole as never looking bet
ter, and bidding fair to yield the
greatest crops ever gathered from the
soil in Nebraska. These reports are
specially confined to the counties of
Antelope, Burt, Cedar, Colfax, Cum
ing, Dakota, Dixon, Dodge, Madison,
Pierce, Platte, Valley and Wayne.
The Chicago Herald says: "He
gives twice who gives quickly. The
cry for help from Iowa is urgeut.
One hundred people have been killed.
More than 500 hive been wonnded,
300 families have had their homes
swept away, and over 1,500 persous
are homeless from the effects of the
Cyclone. The total loss will reach
$2,000,000, and want and suffering
appeal for help from a region where
comfort and prosperity have been ac
customed to extend help to others."

A committee of the Methodist
Church met in Urbana, 111., last week,

Miller, of that place, for teaching
heretical doctrines. They decided
that unless Mr. Miller would agree
not to disseminate the doctrines in
question the presiding elder of the
district would arrange for a trial.
Mr. Miller would agree to nothing,
and the trial was set for July 11.
The latest snake story from Geor
gia is thus told by tho Rome Bulletin:
lhc other day a certain young lady
in Rome started out shopping. While
putting on her hat she thought it felt
rather heavy, but not noticing anv-
minjf put it on her head. On her re
turn home she asked her sister to take
off her hat, that she thousht some
thing was in it. Her sister took off
her hat, and, while doing so, came
near being bitten by a snake. The
lady had worn the snake around
with her all the time, unconscious ot
its presence."
