SUP Hi NT TO T Bloomsburg, Pa.. January 21, 1887. HI GOLUMBIAN. The bills granting ticnsiona ol So,. OOd yearly to Mrs. Logan nnd Mrp. Illnir, widow of General Frank P. lilair, twero defeated in the House committee on invalid pensions. There wero two almentces Messrs. Pid cock aud Ellshury when the com mittee met. The mombers were ar rayed on party lines seven Demo crats voting against and livo Repub licans in favor of the bills. The ad verse majority report on the Logon and lilair bills will bo made by Messrs. Swope and Taulbco respect ively and the favorable minority re pot tH by Messsrs. Conger and Morrill. It is uudirstood that tho b.iais of the opposition to the bills is a nine lance on the pait of the majority of the cnrainittce to tho continnance f the poiioy of grouting high pensio i to widows of officers who did not die from injuries incurred in tho service. The only precedents for passing suoh bills are found in the cases of the widows and families of Admiral Farragut, Generals Hancock, Thomas and Grant, and tho majority of the commit believe that it would be bad policy to follow these precedents, in view of the fact that there are about one hundred niii viving widows of offi cers who would then be entitled to penninus who are now excluded by the general law. It was dark in the depot one day In December when tho evening train camu in. An elderly farmer was backed up ngidnst the partition, watching in open-mouthed wonder tho big puffing engine and the yellow cars as they discharged their pasen uers, when a handsome young girl in a sealskin cloak dashed forward, and, throwing herself upon the honest granger's manly breast, imprinted a kiss upon his sunburned oheek and exclaimed : "You dear old pa, I knew you would bo wailing for mel And bow's mother and bow's John t And, oh 1 I'm bo glad to get back and whero's my trunk aud let's hurry.'' The granger was old aud dried up and he had never known what it was to have a wife, much less a daughter Ho mistrusted the young lady in the sealskin cloak had made a raWt'tke, but, instead of stammering Mid limn living and havs'itig. lie came gallantly up to the scratch, and throwing bntli arms around tho fair creature, he mid a up his mind to bo a father to her or die in the nltumpt. Imprinted a kis, like tho report of a pistol, on h:r cheek, he enthusiastically ejacu lated : 'Oh, yer mother's well, an' John, an' Henry, an' (sitnek) an' .Tatip, nu' Susan (smack, smack) an' Hoiaie, an' Helindy, an' Calvin (smaek) ; oh, they're all smart and hearty, an' By the timo the young lady's friends could get to her she had slid into a stone faint, and they had to big her h ime in a hack, " while the aged granger, ac he finished the third round with her outragtd young man and saut.tercd out of the depot, leaving him with a black eye and a ruptured coat, chuckled to himself: 'Tho old man's getting old an' stiff ao' caroless like, but when any young fpmales want to play any o' Copenhagen they'll find him right to time aud I shouldn't be g'prised if it rained 'fore 0 o'clock.
