prosecuting these claims before the Missouri and
Kentucky Commissioners, ana is familiar with
all the rules and decisions there made, as well as
the most recent rulings Of the Secretary War on
the subject.
We, therefore. offer our services to Attorneys,
Agents and Claimants, throughout the State,
believing we enjoy unusual facilities for serving
them These cl aims will be examined first BY
the Board but final action can only be taken by
the proper Department at Washington.
Our purpose is to attend personally before the
Board in Tennessee, the better to enable Ne to
serve clients at Washington.
We desire one or more correspondents in each
county, with whom we will divide fees. And
printed instructions, and keep them fully in
formed from time to time Of the action of the
Board.
We furnish individual claimants, blanks and
full instructions to enable them to prepare their
claims.
Our Washington House has already a large

who may not know us With regard TO our in
tegrity and business capaeity,we give few of our

Address by Governor Andrew.

At the anniversary meeting of the
New England Genealogical Society in
Boston, Gov. Andrew, as President,
made an address, which is exceedingly
felicitous In thought and phrase. His
summing up of the province and achiev-
ment of history at the close of the fol-
lowing extract is as good as anything
our "fne writers" can do
There is a certain body of thought,
found in the community, of which the
individual man is but an inconsiderable
fraction, and which is a part Of its es-
sential life, not proceeding from any in
dividual source, not related to one more
than to others, not %traccable, perhaps,
to any single mind living in any time,
but inherited by the whole people as a
part of the wisdom Of the nation, the
community or the race to which they
belong. The discoveries in science, the
Intentions in the mechanic arts, the i'm
provemeuts III domestic economy, the
cancellations Of philosophy, the crea-
Iions Of poetry-traceable in their ORR
gin to great thinkers and actors of a
given time-pass out into the mindsand
become part Of the familiar knowledge,
modifying the thought, shaping the
conduct and enriching the lives of many
thousands Of millions Of men, until,
with their results, they become incor-
ated into the unconscious experience
and help to compose the wisdom Of a
whole nation or Of whole age.
Transmitted to the next generation,
they form a part Of its stock Of inherit
ed knowledge, as we'll as of its inherited
wisdom. Thus the succeeding genera
ton possesses, not only the result of the
thought of the thinker, Of the skill of
the actor, and the enlarged wisdom of
the generation to whom they were i'm
mediately sent, but accumulates also the
largest number of facts and phenomena,
needful for understanding, interpreting,
generalizing, adapting and improving
upon the past, so as to enable the men
of the present to fulfil their highest mis-
sion, and prepare for their own future.
And so history touches all human life,
on every side. It instructs the individ-
ual. 1t gives o new tone to a commu-
nifty. 1t e~levates a nation. 1t enlivens
a generation. 1t inspires the human
race. All that may be known, remem-
bered, felt, loved, hated, venerated or
shunned-all things and all ideas, cog
nizable by the human mind, or which
excite human emotion, all spiritual as
we'll as all material things, are found
within its domain. It does not forget
the form of a shepherds crook, nor of
the manger in a Syrian stable, while
rising to the contemplation Of oriental
philosophy two thousand years old, or
to the exploration of the astronomy of
the Magi. Nor does it forgetto preserve
the genealogy of 'Joseph, though soar
ing to report the song of angels, and
struggling to record the sublime story
and mystery OF, redemption. ,a-
