THE lberUty
Easter, the grip and the arbntns are all
with us. The first and the last named are
very welcome, bnthave not received the
courtesy accorded them other years, on ac
count of the pushinz, persistent, ostenta
tions grip that has monopolized attention
during the past week, rot only in society
bnt in business and professional circles as
well. Everyone has had it, nearly, and
whether devotees of fashion or not they have
been compelled to follow it in this one in
stance. ,
And everyone will agree that it isn't a bit
pleasant to entertain. It is so dreadfully
searching that if there is a lurking trait of
malice, impatience, selfishness, irritability,
tyranny or profanity in one's nature the
grip -will find it and bring it to the surface.
And the finding of such qualities always
canses more or less discord and unpleasant
ness in the family circle, besides havinc a very
humiliating effect UDon the nnwillinc pos
sessor of the hidden traits, who must perforce
reauce his bumps of self esteem and sell re
spect to fit the emergency.
A Domestic Misfortune.
According to a benedict's statement the grip
is responsible for a Terr scrlons calamity in bis
household, in that it revealed to his lovely, con
fiding. Innocent little wife that he hid a vocabu
lary far in excess of anything she had ever
dreamed of And in one day's time ho com
pletely ruined the reputation he had acquired
with her of heme a gentleman on all occasions
and using only the pnrest of English. Said ne:
-It ill late months of conscientious, persistent
effort on my par: to efface irom that little
woman's mind the memory of thatone unfortu
nate tirade that leaped from my lins in a fit of
desperation, brouglii about by a continued
seance with the gr.o, and 1 doubt it over I
occup the exalted Tjosition in her esteem
again that was mine be fore the fall."
Poor fellow! He was really quite serious
about the matter, and with his weeping eyes
and blooming note, looked disconsolate enough
to provoke either sympathy or merriment.
An Kxodus to the Sooth.
But, dear me. I must cease writing on that
hubiect. or I shall be the victim of a second at
tack causea by retrospection of my own and
others' w oes, my companion In misery even
now affirmiag that my eyes look grippy and
that the sneeze that f orcea its way to the front
was decidedly of a grippy nature. A.
perfect exodus to the South has been the re
mit of the epidemic, ev ry one who conld do so
having taken his grip and departed for the
land of sunshine and flowers. Easter with
Easter lilies and other hot house flowers, as the
city lolks know it. is hardly a suggestion of
Easter In the country, with the robins and the
arbutus that herald so conclusively the glad
some days of spring.
Who doesn't love the arbutUJ and who hasn't
contracted a severe cold in searching for it!
And what an oDDortunity its frail little life
gi? for moraliziue. And what a similarity
its lit tears to numerous of the human fam
ily, who. irom the most abject poverty and
the most dejected surroundings, develop into
models of purity and genins. A little sprig or
.spray of the arbutus made its appearance in
the L.icene Court last week upon the lapel of
a. coat, whose wearer prides himself upon
appearing cjnical and tkcptical. though his
very love of the sciences natural in particular
contradict or soften his assumed briskness or
manner. With great pride did this renowned
attorney sport the little arbutus, and when
asked whence he obtained it, he replied in a
manner that proved him a student of nature.
Said he:
Story of an Early Beauty.
"All winter when it could the snow had
lain in a little indentation on the sunny side of
thehilL An out cropping of slate-strata of
various colors and different grades of hard
ness, or softness as you choose, hung just above
the decaying ttnnk of a monarch of
the woods one of nature's heroes at last pros
trated on the field of many a battle with the
blasts. last fall's leaves made a blanket for
this little bed of rich loam or mold between the
old tree and the hillface. Apparently no ex
pression but that ot sadness could be suggested
there. A casual observer would not hae taken
any notice of the scot indeed, no one but a
naturalist or a country ccild. on the lookout for
the flrt flowers ot spiing, wonld have suspecv
ed that the treasure flower of earlv blooms had
chosen just that snot for its bed. The filterings
from the nowfiakes hat lng percolated the co1
ing of brown leaves droppea on the loam, and
the sun rays at their very hottest scarcely
warm enough to melt the flakes, carried direct
ly into the heart of a slumbering plant
a physical force that quickened it. liifo broke
Irom Inertia's gra-p, aud lu that unpretentious
little nook one of the most beautiful and
dainty organisms was slowly perfecting its
creation. The leaves were waxen and delicate
and the stems seemed frail, yet strong and vig
orous, too. More snon flakes were turned by
the sun into drops of life g.vrag fluid, and they,
too, disappeared beneath the covering of
leaves. The little plant felt the freshening and
grew still more. And thus was worked a mira
cle, while muffld-up men and women burned
by in the cold and the rain during the weeks of
Leonine March. A country miss passed by on
her way to town; the sun was bright, and
the child's heart bounded in response to
the touch with spring. Her quick eje discov
ered the secret biding place between the old
tree trunk and the rock: her nimble fingers
lifted the coverlid of leaves and with joyous
exclamation she held the waxen blossoms in
her hands. She bad found the first arbutus
and from her hands 1 received it.
'That's where I obtained this blossom," con
cluded the learned man, as he gazed fondly
down on the little flower aud a smilo lighted
up his furrowed countenance.
Doings in the Social World.
Passion week was the scene of numerous
college reunions, alumni banquets and school
receptions and also of the very enjoyable re
ception tendered the distinguished artist,
Charles S. Kein'iart. In Beaver Falls there
was a rather unique and notable event. It
was nothing moieuor less than a gentlemen's
tea given at a leading hotel there by the
prominent professional and business men of
the place, i'hey, it seemed, became treary of

THE
The Allegheny County Executive Com
mittee met in Municipal Hall yesterday
afternoon ahd decided to call a meeting of
the general Grand Army Day Committea
for Saturday, April lL This early call is
occasioned by several important matters
which must be acted upon early. Notice
will be sent out to the different posts to send
their representatives on this committee,
which will meet for organization at 339 o'clock
on the afternoon of tho day mentioned. Coun
cil Chambers will bo the place of assembling.
One Important matter to be considered IS the
time and place of holding Grand Army Day
this year. If it is to he held at Rock Points
date will have to be fixed early in order to se
cure the grounds.
Another very Important matter to be acted
upon by this committee is the arrangements tor
theDepartmentcncampment.'which will bo held
in this city next February. Halls will have
to be secured and entertainment provided for
the visitors, aud, as much work will have to be
done, an early start is desirable and necessary.
Another matter which necessitated an early
organization of the committee is the invitation
from the Department of Ohio to Western
Pennsylvania posts to vis.t the annusl encamp
ment and partieioate in the parade. This en
campment will commence on April 29 and will
be held at Sfeubenville. The Grand Army
Day Committee will decide the course of the
Allegheny coanty comrades in the matter.
Heretofore it has not been f onnd necessary to
call a meetidg of the Grand Army Day Com
mitee till the first part of July.
Pointers for Pensioners.
Some very valuable pointers to pensioners
were given by Pension Agent H. H. Bengough
in a talk to the writer on pension matters.
Said he: "The business of the Pension Office
has increased surprisingly since I took charge.
One ot the causes is the large number of appli
cations resulting from the passage of tho act of
June 27, 1S90. The business is increasing at the
rate of 30 or 40 original cases per day, and
about the same number in reissues, restora
tions aud increases. Each case reanires the
time of a clerk for about 20 minutes. The great
amount of work necessitated additional clerical
labor. Up to the loth instant I had been work
ing with the force allotted to me by the Gov
ernment at the beginning of my term."
"Notwithstanding the Immense amount of
work there has been no delay. All payments,
nearly 30,000, cannot be made on the first day,
nor on the first ten days. Fourteen to IS days
are required. Pensioners should remember
this and have patience. Mnch delay is occas
sioned by the failure of magistrates to fill in
vouchers. Many pensioners, especially in
original casts, are not careful enough in In
dorsing their checks. The United States
Treasury will not honor a check indorsed in any
other way than that in which his name appears
on the face of the check. The same applies to
the signing of vouchers. The law compels the
pensioner to sign bis or her name, letter for
letter, as It appears on the certificate. Much
annoyance is caused both to the pensioners and
the Pension Office by the non-observance of the
law in this particular."
"Many pensioners are growing old and feeble
and are not able, through the infirmities of
age. to write a legible hand. They should not
try to write their names, but should make their
marks as the law provides. If a signature is
not legible the paper must be returned, causing
perhaps serious delay to the pensioner."
"Many pensioners especially those living at a
distance from the office here, seem to think it
a positivo necessity that they appear In person
at the office every month. This is a mistake,
and much unnecessary travelingand annoyance
is caused by it It is not necessary for a pen
sioner to come to the office at all. He or she
can send to tho office for his or her certificate
and it will be forwarded with a voncher. It
can be executed at the magistrate's office
nearest to the pensioner's home as well as here.
Some of the aged pensioners, male and female,
come tottering here mouth after month, and
sometimes wait arouud half a day for their
witnesses. This unpleasant business could be
avoided as I bavo explained."
Post ISfft Memorial Services.
The memorial services of Post 1S7, to be held
In Turner Hall, Forbes street, this afternoon,
will be unusually interesting. They are to

The fall of Atlanta.
Stirring scenes of the war were quite re

SUNDAY, MARCH 2&,

&f? MB.
"Last but not least" was never more fittingly
exemplified than in the coming toPlttsbnrg
dnrinp the past week of Mr. Knoedeier with a
superb collection of paintings from the famous
Knoedeier galleries, Fit tn avenue. Now York.
Who does not know of the Knoedeier house
tho old Gonpll galleryt It hasfor years with
,out number been a Mecca to all art lovers
who bavo drifted New Yorkward, and thelf
feet have instinctively turned to the well
known corner building, with the quaint old
fashioned gilded letters over the doorway. In
tho gallery at the rear ot the store
room .are always to be found superb
examples from American and European
studios, and the citizen of PIttSbnrg or
any other city who visits New York in quest of
art knowledge fails not to visit the Metropoli
tan Museum collection and the Knoedeier gal
lery. It was to be expected, therefore, that a
house of such high standing would send to
PIttsbnrg superior works, and the interest in
tho coming of this collection has been cor
respondingly great A glance around the
Gillespie gallery certainly reveals a remarkable
collection of canvases. In extent it is one ot
most important ever brought to Pittsburg,
numbering about 30 works. In quality the
majority of the pictures are superb. In variety
of method or technical treatment there is the
greatest possible range. Take A. Manve's
"Winter" for instance. In this school of art
there has never been shown in Pitts
burg a work of such masterly strength.
Mauve is beyond doubt a masterly painler. He
is an impressionist of the highest possible type.
His impressions are based npon absolnte fun
damental knowledge. He paints freely, be
cause he knows thoroughly. He must have
passed through a course of severe training, ot
thorough study, before he arrived at the su
preme height of technical freedom he now oc
cupies, just as Fortdny, for Instance, attained
masterly freedom through laborous ami pains
taking study. There is a class of young paint
ers a wholo brood who think tbey can attain
the end without taking the trouble to travel
the road which lies between the beginning and
the end. They call themselves impres
sionists. For the good of art in
general tbey ought to be shot
This Mauve picture is one ot the strongest
works ever brought to Pittsburg. Go and ex
amine it You are certain to be Impressed by
its strength and truthfnlness. Snperb exam
ples of a different school of art are the works
by Meissonicr and Gerome. These are two of
the most important canvases by the famous
masters ever seen here. The Gerome is enti
tled "A Merchant in Cairo," and is a splendid
example. In treatment it is perfectly charac
teristic ot uerome. tne smallest detail being
painted with absolnte fidelity. "The Videtle,"
by Meissonier. is an important work Dy the
deceased painter whoso name has been upon
every tonguo daring the past two months.
The house and soldiers are beautifully drawn
and painted. An unusually important and
beautiful canvas is by Corot At no tlmo has
there been seen in fittsburg a Corot possess
ing such rich and warm color. Corot's pictures
are, with few exceptions, landscapes pure and
simple. This ono Is a landscape, but derives its
title, "Returning Home," from a figure and
horse in the middle distance. Daublgny is rep
resented by an important work entitled "Sum
mer Dav on the Oise." To comblete the repre
sentation ot the Fontaf Aeblftau school there is a
remarkably beautiful canvas by Theo. Bous-seau.-
This canvas is thoroughly characteris
tic aha a charming bit of eolor. Wagon tracks
running up from the foreground, tlirodgb
a small pool of water and on amid
the distant trees, are the simple
objects nsed in the composition. The color 18
a perfect dream, a delicious scale of harmoni
ous notes and refined qualities. "The Signal,"
by Eugene Delacroix, is also a remarkable pic
ture in color qualities. Space will not admit
of a complete review of all the works on ex
hibition. There are canvases by J. G. Vibert
Jules Breton, M. Rico, Meyer Von Bremen, E.
Van Marcke. W. Bouguereau. L. Knaus, N.
Diaz, Jules Dnpre, H. Lerolle, Jean Aubert, J.
Mohrhablon, HIdgeway Knight and a splendid
bead by J. J. Henner, The works ehonld be
seen by all Pittsburg art lovers, because a treat
so rate and delicious is not often Spread here.
The reception which was held in honor of Mr.
Charles Stanley Reibhart last week was fully
described in the daily papers, it was one of,tbe
most delightful and successlsl artistic and
social events that ever occurred in Pittsburg.
It will long live in the memory ot our people as
a graceful tribute to a Pittsburg artist who, by
shere perseverance and pluck, has won
for himself an exalted position in the
art world, and who has. by the masterly
qualities and delicious humor of his
works, delighted millions of people, and made
hi3 name almost a household word wherever
the English language IS spoken, it must also,
mark forever a greon spot in the memory of
Mr. Reinbart, and one which will remain fresh
and tragrane while be lives and works, because,
alter all is said, there is no honor so grateful as
that which is extended by old friends, compan
ions of boyhood and young manhood, amidst
scenes made sacred by the dearest memories of
all. Other honors Mr. Beinhart has received
throughout tho world, bnt none of quite the
flavor of this home-coming.
A telegram to the Now York Jlerald, says:
The American artists have decided to send to
Berlin. There was a good deal of indecision at
first but finally Von Werner, President of the
Art Association of Berlin, asked Mr. J. Gari
melcbers to form a committee, which called a
meeting of .the artists and elected the follow
ing to serve: Messrs. Pearce, Weeks, Moaler,
Rulshover, McEwan and Howe. They issued a
notice, stating that works wonld be received by
Messrs. Gulnchard & Fournivet, No. 7GRuo
Blanche, up to Thursday next, the packing to
bo at the expense ot the artist but the freight
to and from Berlin to be at the expense of the
Berlin Art Association. We already hear good
accounts of the number of exhibitors, headed
byRidgway Knight, Julian Story and Hum
phrey Moore. So American art will be well
represented.
The Academy of Fine Arts ot Philadelphia
has appointed a committee ot Ave to arrange
for a display of American art at the exposition
In Berlin. ,
The artists of Glasgow and the West of scot
land have petitioned the Glasgow Corporation
to buy of Mr. Whistler his portrait at Thomas
Carlyie. The eorporation uses certain" profits
on annual art exhibitions for the purchase of
works ot art. The movement is certainly a
remarkable honor done to Mr. Whistler by men
of his own craft the great majority of whom he
has in all probability never seen,
Mr. George fletscl. who was quite III for two
weeks, had sufficiently recovered Tuesday last
to resume his studies at the Pittsburg Art
School. There is on exhibition at Boyd's one of
Mr. Hetzel's landscapes, a larre canvas of more
than ordluary interest and merit
Mr. W. D. Walkley shows this week a large
autumn woodland scene which is unusually
brilliant in color. The subject is an interesting
one, tieated with much breadth and skill.
Mis Moore exhibits at Boyd's a Study of
ducks which shows much conscientious care in
treatment and promises well for the future of
this young lady's art Study.
Mr. A. F. King exhibits two pictures this
week, one a landscape aud the other a still life.
They both possess much merit Mr. King has
in recent years established quite a reputation
as a successful painter, and deserves all the
success he is meeting with.
An interesting portrait of ex-Llentenant
Governor Penny, by Wilson, is on exhibition at
Boyd's.

GOSSIP OF THE GUARD.
Captain James & Mtntsocic of this city.
Spent the past week in New York.
QrARTEnMASTEB JOHN HtThBABB, Ot thS
Fmirteenta Regimenf, is down with ft bad it
tack of the grip.
Colonel W. W. Greenland, the netr
Quartermaster Genera! of the National Guard,
is spending a few days in the city.
Major Patteiison, Inspector of the Second
Brigade.; inspected the Fifth Regiment last
week. The Tenth Regiment will be put through
the ordeal this week.
Company B, of the Fourteenth Regiment,
intends giving a mascjuerade ball at the Turner
Hall. In Allegheny, shortly, the proceeds to be
devoted to the Company fund.
THE members of Companies B and H. of the
Eighteenth Regiment" have made arrange
ments to give a reeeptlon and guard mount at
Silver Lake Grove on the 19th of Jane.
Tits City Troop of Philadelphia has received
permission from the Adjutant General to use
the new cavalry tactics. The City Troop and
Troop A. of New York, ate tho only ones In
the country now using the new tactics by per
mission. CojipantF, Eighteenth Regiment was in
spectedlast Monday evening by Lieutenant
Colonel Rntledge. Three officers and 27 meri
wereinlihe and a fair showing was made.
Captain Awl has denied the rnmor that be in
tended to resign his commission, and statesjthat
the idea was evidently started for malicious
purposes.
The Washington Infantry members have de
cided to get an extra dress uniform, and for
that purpose have already raised a purse of
$1,000. The uniforms are to cost $2,500, and it is
expected the entire amount will be on hand be
fore many moons have passed. The infantry
boys are hustlers and deserve the suceess tbey
aro attaining.
Colonel Noeman M. Smith, of the Eight
eenth Regiment is one 'of the officers of the
guard who observes the rules of fashion closely.
He has the grip. A number of other officers
and enlisted men in the Eighteenth are being'
handled pretty roughly by the common aliment
at present, and as a consequence the drill
nights are not productive of as large attend
ances as there might be.
Adjutant Genebal WilliaIi McClel
land spent a few days in the city last week.
Ihe prospects for the encampments this com
ing summer are not particularly brilliant Gen
eral McUlelland announces that if the appro
priation to pay the departmmc deSclencea of
past years is not made up, he will usa his annual
fond in which to pay these debts, In which case
there will be no encampments.
Ma job Samuel Haslet,' of Washington,
Pa Brigade, Inspector of Rifle Practice,
attended the meeting of the shiners In the city
last Wednesday. Major Haaelet states that
the prospects for the soming year in target
jirauiice in me zuara are pretty gooa, al
though several of the organizations in the
Second Brigade are without ranges as yet, but
will probably be fixed before the season opens
next month.
The Hartranft Memorial Commission held
a meeting at the Division Headquarters in
Philadelphia last week. No definite time for
unveiling the Hartranft Monument was
selected, owing to the absence of so many
members of the commission, but it is thought
Decoration Day will be the time set It is ex
pected that on the occasion there will be a
parade take place in the afternoon, made up ot
a provisional brigade taken from regiments all
over the State.
IiIeutrnant Bban, the regular army officer
who has been detailed for instruction purposes
with the National Gnard of Pennsylvania for
the past three years, spent a few hours In the
city last week on his way to San Carlos. Ariz.
Mr. Bean could not say who would succeed
him in the detail to this State, as at present
there are no applicants for the position. San
Carlos, the new station to which Lieutenant
Bean has been ordered, is generally considered
one of the gloomiest of the Western posts, be
ing situated in the heart ot the Indian country
and void of the pretty scerery or other natural
attractions which help to lessen the monotony
ot life at a small post
The members of Company E, of tho Tenth
Regiment at Mt Pleasant, were sworn in as
deputy sheriffs in connection with the troubles
at the Morewood mines last Friday, the Sheriff
of the connty asserting that in case of trouble
he had no time to beg of the proper National
Guard authorities to issne orders for the as
sembling of a company to protect property. It
seems rather peculiar that a body of men en
listed and sworn into the service ot the State1
for the protection of lives and property of
citizens of the Commonwealth would be re
quired to register their services in the capacity
of deputies to a county official, yet repeated re
fusals to demands on the National Guard on
account of troubles in the coke regions have
rather tended to lessen the respect of the gen
eral rnn of people for that body. That the
guard is efficient no one who understands Its
workings will for a moment doubt, yet it is
kept up for a purpose, and when the accom
plishment of that purpose demands its pres
ence there shonld be a trifle less dillydallying
over reu rape.
The Grip.
Among trje numerous medicines in use
for this disease there is one worthy of es
pecial mention. Many of onr readers will
know at once that Chamberlain's Cough
Bemedy is referred to. The uniform suc
cess of this remedy in the treatment.of that
disease has made if immensely popular in
Pittsburg and vicinity. Tlicfe is no ques
tion bnt what the severity of an attack of
the grip is greatly lessened by the prompt
nse of this medicine. It is also said to
counteract any tendency to pneumonia.
Whole families in this city have cured
themselves and are now as sound and
hearty as they were before they contracted
the disease. It is for sale at SO cents per bot
