Ell. Thus 1t will be perceived that upon
the very face of these acts. Congress us
/ ed these words rs meaning the same
thing. Ii happens too in the acts that
neither word may b. used. and vet the
same idea intended. as in the 8 b section
OF the amended act. where the language
s ''sl,aII be credited by his servres'
Re arding then '.perio of service"
and .'ierm of SERVICE" as meaning the
same thing. any argument predicated up
on difference mus; he disregar,led.- -
And thus we are brought back to the
question, how is the credit to be given.
Must the credit he fer the time of actual
service. or the period If en.istmenti
th'nk that Congress intended by the
words period of service, to give credit
for the time of his enlistment. When q
man enlis;s in the service of the Govern
mem, for that period and during that
period his services are Withdrawn from
the industrial pursuits of life. The Act
speaks ~ though there WAS a certain and
fix~i period for the services of each man,
and yet, ifany period or time is taken
oiher than the term of enlistment, bY
some system of averages or guesses,
rule must be fixed. To do SO would vi
oiate the certainty contemplated by the
nct.
am, therefore, Of ihs opinion that
tue President mast, IN Ter the net, give
credit by the who'e period or term for

Whether tins $ the rue which should

that cannot now be considered. Ii is ia
mliiar to all that special cases of hard

GOD SAVE THE FLAG.

BY 0. W. HOLMES.
Washed in the blood of the brave and blooming,
Snatched from the affairs of insolent foes,
Burning with starfres, but never consuming,
Flash its bright ribands of lily and rose.
vainly the prophets of Baal would rend it,
Vainy his worshippers pray for its fall;
Thousands have died for it, millions defend it,
Emblem of justice and mercy to all.
Justice that reddens the sky with her terrors,
Mercy that comes with her white-handed train
Soothing all passions, redeeming all errors,
Sheathing the sabre, and breaking the chain.
Borne on the dcluge Of old usurpations,
Drifted our ark DER the desolate seas
This was the rainbow Of hope to the nations,
Torn from the storm-cl d and flung to the breeze
God bless the flag and its loyal defenders,
While its broad folds Ger the battlefield wave
Till the dim star wreath re-kindle its splendors,
Washed from its stains in the blood OF the brave

MEAD'S MODEL OF THE LINCOLN
MONUMENT.

The model for monument for Abra
ham Lincoln. which has been made in It.
ally by our distinguished townsman, Lark
in G. Mead, Jr has just arrived in N. Y.
where it will be placed on exhibition. The
Boston Daily Advertiser makes the fol-
lowing highly complimentary notice
Of it:
"Mr. Larkin G. Mead, Jr. the well
known Vermont sculptor, has made the
design of monument for Abraham Lin
coin, which he has sent from his studio in
Florence to N. Y, where it will be exhib-
tied We have seen photograph of this
design, which is of Corinthian column,
supporting a colossal figure of Lincoln,
and resting on a pedestal, with broad
octagonal base. The Presidents figure is
in simple modern costume; he stands,
with a thoughtful, downward look, lightly
holding pen in one hand, while the 9TH
er is laid upon the national shield at his
side. -Four groups, representing the dit
ferent branches of the military service,
occupy as many corners Of the rcceding
and projecting sides of the octagon, aud
around the base passes stairway of Z
steps with the figures of four boys upon
pedestals, looking westward from the col
umn. OF course, the groups on the base
are the most striking features of the mon
ument, and they give, in vivid action, the
spirit of the war with which Lincoln's
name will always be associated. One
group is of artillery, another of sailors
manning gun, a third is Of infantry il
battle, the fourth is superb and power
full expression in sculpture of the furious
onset of cavalry. Mr.. Mead had happily
the experience, in camp aud under hre
during some months service in the engin
Ger corps of the Army of the Potomac
which could best qualify an artist for thu
faithful execution of these groups Th'
graceful figures of the youths below rep
resent sailor boy, bugle boy, and ilal
boy the bas-reliefs in the base are dc
parture Of volunteers, the s'nitary hospi
tai and women nursing the sick ant
wounded, a man-of-war in action, ant
veterans returning home. On the podes
tai of the column is. tablet for an in
criptlon.
The excellence of this design will CON
mend itself. No one can look at it with
out feeling the force and originality 9
the genius which has been tempered, nc
tanned, by study of the best art in the oil
world, and which has already given tn
young Vermont sculptor an enviabl
name. = Waltoa's Journal.

REACHING THE PACIFIC SHORE-IHE COAST
AND ITS CIyILIzATIoN-FRoM VIRGINIA
TO SAN FRANClsCo-1nE RIDE OVER THE
SIERRA NEvADAs-LAKE TAHOE ETC.
SAN Francisco. July 4, 1865
Across the continent The great ride
is finished. Fifteen hundred miles of rail
road, two thousand of staging, again sixty
miles of railway. and then one hundred
and fifty miles by steamboat down the
Sacramento river, and the goal is reached,
the Continent is spanned. Seven weeks
of steady journcj ing, within hail of single
parallel line from east to west, and still
the Republic! Still the old fag-the
town is gay with its beauty to-day-stil
the same Fourth of July-better than all,
still the same people, with hearts aglow
with the same loyalty and pride in the
American Union. and the same purpose
and the same faith for its future. Greater
the wonder grows at the extent of the Re
public: but larger still our wonder at the
mysterious but unmistakabie homogencity
of its people.
San Francisco, looking westward to the
Orient for greatness, cooling its summer
heats with Pacific breczes, thinks the same
thoughts. breathes the same patriotism
burns with the same desires that inspire
New York and Boston, whose outlook is
eastward, and who seem to borrow their
civilization with their commerce from Eu-
rome. Sacramento talks as you do in
Springfield: Nevada, over the mountains,
almost out of the world, anticipates New
England in her judgments, and makes up
her verdict, while those close to the "Hub
Of the Universe are looking over the tes'
timonv. 1t is this that is the greatest
thing about our country; that makes II

tory-thc unity of its people in ideas and

their simultaneous and similar currents
of thought, their spontaneous, concurren

more than beauty of landscape, more thai

l., at one time Oregon's greatest pol
lticlan. | propose telling the curious
reader one of his electioneering lodges,
and how nicely he got caught at it. Uncle
10 was about to make speech to the un-
terrified of Long Tom and stopped at Tom
Browns for dinner. He knew Tom to be
little shaky-in fact, quite inclined to
be anti-L--, and Uncle 10 determined
to bring him over. AS soon as he entered
the house he commenced his usual tactics;
"Wcll, God bless you, Mrs. Brown how
doyou do, and how are all the little ones ?"
After kissing the dirty brood all round,
he asks for mothers pipe. "lf there is
anything do like, it is to smoke mothers
pipe; it's got some strength into it, and
does fellow some good. By-the.by, Mrs.
Brown, they say Tom is going to vote agin
me. | hope he won't. He and | have
fit Indians together up on Rogue River,
and camped out 10 the mountains, aid

| SihSC VIC OdillC W oTCSOn.
Presently dinner is ready, and they
have pork and beans, of course. Mr..
Brown is sorry they have nothing better.
But says Uncle 10, "You could not have
anything better; bless your soul, we don't
have anything half so good in Washing
ton Why my friend, the President,
would give half his salary to get such
beans as these. Have you got pint you
could spare? | would 50 like to take
them to him for Seed"
We've got bushels of them" says
NJ S. Brown.
well now, how luckyl If you will,
do put up pint of them. will put
them in my saddle-bags and take them on
to Mr.. Buchanan, and I would not be sur
prised if it we're the means of Tom getting
one of the best offices in the State"
So the beans were put up and slowed
away in Uncle JOS saddle bags and Toms
vote and influence were all made sure.
In about week Tom and his wife 20
up to Eugene, to visit Toms sister, Mrs.
Smith. Uncle 10 had been there, and
made frst,rate impression. Mrs. Smith
tells Mrs Brown, "What nice gentle
man Squire l. is-so kind and So
ciable like; and then he thinks SO much
of Smith Would you believe it, he
brought us pint of beans all the way
from Washington, the very kind the Pres
ilent has on his table"
At this Mrs. Brown begins to smell a
! very big mice. Says she
Mrs. Smith, what kind of beans is
them he brought you from Washington %
"Oh, they are nice beans-twice as
= large as our white ones, with pinkish

II thought o!' says Mrs. Brown.
y "May | see those beans ?"
! "Ccrtainly,' says Mrs. Smith. 81
g have them in the bag with the garden
seeds
;, The beans were produced. still tied up
in piece of Jane Browns calico dress
9 This produced an explosion Brown and
s Smith at once became anti-L-, and
worked hard to defeat him. Messrs
