Soldiers, Welcnmns.


grand reception and welcome home to the sol
diers of Williams and adjoining counties, took
place at Bryan, ON the Oath ult,, which is repre-
sented by the Bryan Press to have been attended
by from three to five thousand persons. The day
was happy one, and the exercises consisting o.
music, addresses, dinners and general rejoicing
passed off in excellent style. Of the addresses
which were listened to with marked attention, the
Press says:
The Welcome Address, by A. NJ. Pratt, Esq
was digniiied, and very happily conceived and de-
llYered, and was in every way worthy the man and
the occasion. .-t ID. r,.
Colonel Slevin made the response in behalf of
the soldiers, in an address of considerable length

pleasure to listen 10, for many day. Himself Il

Union defenders tn their friends and homes. lie
severely rebuked the mushroom friends of the SOL
dier. In the dark days of the rebellion, when their
sympathy and aid were needed, they were found in
opposition to his interests uttering expressions of
sympathy with the rebels and their cause Adj
dressing himself particularly to the soldiers, he
tnld them that 1t was wrong, notwithstanding all
this, to compel any one, whose loyalty was ques-
toned, to hoist the American flag Forced loyalty,
like forced religion, was of no consequence what
ever, and so long as he had the power defend it,
no C0pperhead should ever touch the flag of the
10th Ohio. Although very severe ON the Copper
heads, we think they are Under obligations tI him
for the advice he gave the soldiers, telling them
not to stoop so low as to get into any quarrel or
duhculty with them.
AT aTLToNvILLE.
A Soldiers Welcome took place on Wednesday
last at Mionville, in this county, everything pass
ing off in erder and quiet. An excellent dinner was
partaken Of by the hundreds in attendance, and the
meeting was addressed by Colonel SLEvIS in one
of his characteristic speeches.
AT DAMASCUS,
In Henry County, on the day following, a cordial
Welcome and Reunion for our brave boys in blue,
was attended by large concourse of both citizens
and soldiers, and was likewise addressed by Col.
SLEvIN, General ScoTT, Colonel Poe, and Judge
HAAG, of the Napoleon NorhIceet.
The dinner was superb in every feature-in
quantity there was an abundance, in quality it was
unsurpassed, and in its preparation and adornment
the table was loaded with viands and uxuries that
the gods might partake Of, aud do themselves hon

REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF
THE INTERIOR.

1t appears from the report of the Secretary
OF the Interior, that during the past year
1913, 73s 40 acres of the public lands have
been granted to various parties, and that on
the Both September there were still 1872. 1885,
O5O acres surveyed and undisposed of Por
lands sold he has received $74s, 427 %. an
access of ten per cent over the previous
year. Different regulations are in force in
the different territories regarding claims to
unoccupied lands, and some uniform law is
asked. The lands are very wisely sold for
the sum necessary to survey and transfer
them to actual settlers and purchasers. 1t
is estimated that 25O 900 able-bodied men
are mining upon the public domain without
paying anything for the privilege In view
oil the tax upon most other pursuits it is
suggested they be not neglected
The number Of pensions added to the roll
during the year was 15,39s, requiring s., ,29O,-
7s5 90 annuel payment Allowed during
the year were 24,693, at an annual charge of
SS,574,179. Of naval pensions there were
26e awarded and $2O5 4sO 90 paid, which is
amply provided for by the investment of the
Government share of prize money. The in
creasing number of pensioners demands a
largely increased appropriation.
There are within our boundaries about
$50, 900 Indians, most Of whom have been
amicable, and few loyal and progressive.
Some however have been melted by Rebels
and by resentment to wage war against the
Government, and in the Territories, by the
collisions with the white race, have kept up
predatory warfare, which we have sent troops
to suppress. 1t ought not to be the policy of
the Government to exterminate the red men
but rather, through missions and treaties, to
pacify them.
There have been 6,991 patents granted
during the fiscal year The work of the
census has been pushed as far as was posi-
bic. The work upon the several branches
Of the Pacific Railroad appears to be pro-
crossing satisfactorily, and they will doubt
less be finished by the specified time of their
charters. Surveys are being made of the
main line westward.
More money is asked for the completion
of the Capitol. The inhabitants of the Dis
trict also want the Government to help them
pay the local taxes, and to clean the city,
and for other benevolent and humane pur-
poses.

REPORT OF THE POSTMASTER
GENERAL.

The Postal Department has been again
more than selfsustaining during the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1866 the revenue being
S14, 500, 1853 70,and the expenditures $13, 1894,
1893 49, leaving a surplus of 1851, ,430 a.
The service has been per cent more costly
and n per cent more productive than the
previous year The average deficiency for
the past "a years has been 81, 1855, OPS 61 per
annum, which had to be met by special ap-
preparation. The estimates of the year 1866
and 1867 contemplate a deficiency of 81 ,207,
457, which is mere than provided for in un-
expended appropriations.
There has been an addition Of 3,10s miles
of routes opened during the year, principally .
in tho Southern States, and 1851 of the
5000 old offices reopened, at much less
cost than before, and proposals have been
invited for re-establishing nearly all the old
routes.
The European mail service has been con
Quoted for some years on the basis of paying
to American steamers the whole of the pos
tages of letters carried, and to foreign stea-
mers the sea postage only the latter amount
ing to an average of g., $40 per trip last year
The advantages of such competition rather
than subsidizing national steamers are clear
ly set forth. Steam service with Brazil
has been established, and contracted for to
China.
FREQ delivery of letters is now confined to
45 principal cities. There has been an in
crease of % per cent 1853, a,262) in the
number of dead letters for the year, of
which 49, 154 contained money amounting
to S244,37s 97, large increase upon last
year Nearly one per cent. of all letters
conveyed were sent to the Dead Letter
Office, owing in part, no doubt, to the irregu-
larities caused by the war The law requir-
ing the advertising in the newspaper of
largest circulation it is found is very expen-
sive, and discretion is urged in its stead.
The Money Order system is so far success
fully in operation that it has issued 74,277
orders for 81, $3.50, 1872 50 during the year; the
fees amounting only to two-thirds of the
expenses Some suggestions for alteration
are suggested.
Contractors and others from the rebellious
States have presented claims for million
dollars which are held for the action of
Congress. The two great mil-stones on the
neck of the Post-Ofice are the Franking
Privilege and the Overland Mail (partly
military whicE together cost a net outlay of
two millions of dollars to be paid by the
Department
1t is a gratifying fact, Illustrating the pro-
gress of education and social development
of our country, that the average receipts
from the North alone during four years Of
war were S3, 5S3, s45 over the whole, and OF
the past year S6,O3s,O0i greater than the
revenues from the whole Union previous to
the Rebellion.

T. b. ALDRIcH.

Only the sea intoning,
Only the wainscot mouse,
Only the wild wind moaning
Over the lonely house.
Darkest of all Decembers
Ever my life has known,
Sitting here by the embers,
Stunned and helpless alone,
Dreaming of two graves lying
Out in the damp and chill;
One where the buzzard, flying,
Pauses at Malvern Hill.
The other-alasl the pillows
OF that uneasy bed
Rise and fall with the billows
Over our sailor's head.
Theirs the heroic story
Died, by frigate and town.
Theirs the Calm and the Glory,
Theirs the Cross and the Crown.
Mine to linger and anguish
Here by the wintry sea;
All, faint heartl in thy anguish,
What is there left to theeS
Only the SEQ intoning,
Only the wainscot mouse,
Only the wild wind moaning
Over the lonely house.

YOUR MISSION.

If you cannot on the ocean,
Sail among the swiftest fleet;
Rocking on the highest pillows,
Laughing at the storms you meet;
You can stand among the sailors,
Anchored yet within the bay,
You can lend a hand to help them,
As they launch their boats away.
II you arc too weak to Journey,
Up the mountains steep and high,
You can stand within the valley,
While the multitudes go by;
You can chant in happy measure,
As they slowly pasA along,
Though.they may forget the singer,
They will not forget the song.
II you have not gold and silver,
Ever ready TO command,
If you cannot toward the needy
Reach an ever open hand,
You can visit the afflicted,
Ger the erring you can weep,
You can be true disciple,
Sitting at the Savior's feet.
If you cannot In the conflict
Prove yourself a soldier true,
II where fire and smoke are thickest,
There's no work for you to do,
When the battlefield is silent,
You can go with silent tread,
You can bear. away the wounded,
You can cover up the dead
Do not then stand idly waiting
For some greater work to do;
Fortune Is lazy goddess,
She will never come to you;
Go and toll in any vineyard,
Do not fear to do or care,
If you want a field of labor,
You can find it ANYWHERE,

THE PRIoE OF TRUTH.

Great truths are dearly bought The com
mon truth,
Such as men give and take from day to day,
Comes in the common walks of easy life,
Blown by the careless wind across our way.
Bought in the market, at the current price,
Bred of the smile, the jest, perchance the
bowl,
It tells no tales of daring or of worth,
Nor pierces even the surface of the soul.
Great truths are greatly won. Not formed
by chance,
Not waited on the breath of summer
dream;
But grasped in the great struggle of the
soul,
Hard bufIeting with adverse wind and
stream.
Not in the general mart, mid corn and wine,
Not in the merchandise of gold and gems
Nor in the worlds gay hall Of midnight
mirth,
Nor mid the blaze of regal diadoms;
But in the day of conflict, fear and grief,
When the strong hand of God, put forth
in might,
Ploughs up the subsoil of tho stagnant heart,
And brings the imprisoned truth seed to
the light
Wrung from the troubled spirit, In hard hours
or weakness, solitude. perchance of pain;
Truth springs like harvest, from the well.
ploughed field,
And the soul feels it has not wept in vain.
