Novel Report ON n Novel Claiun-Rewards FOR
Heroes In Classmates.
A report Of a novel character was recently made
by Senator Pratt, OF Indiana, from the Committee
on Claims The mcmorialist SETS forth that he en-
listed in 1852, in Massachusetts, regiment, and
served eleven months as private and sergeant
Again, in the year 1863, he entered the Sixteenth
light battery OF that State private ana was subse-
quenty commissioned second lieutenant in the same.
The battery was stationed for the most part in ana
about the detences OF washington. While 30 en-
gagged he devised plan Of monuments to be erected
on the BullaRun battle lnclds in memory Of those
who had there fallen, aud after stating all he had
done In that business he prays Congress to award
him reasonable compensation ''in accordance
would be help and AFFORD him means Of support by
his profession"
by the comments OF the committee, who say it has
been matter of curious speculation with them
what style OF monuments could have been erected.
by the government-cement, lime, axes picks, shOv.
els and sledge hammers. And then again the COM
mittee have marvelled that the memolialist should
have been able TO have wrought with q jackknffe
an inscription, ornamental and durable, bearing
with 1t honor the memory OF the fallen heroes to
The distant future. The menOriast admits that he
wrought out these designs OF beauty while
nesting in the safe intrenchments that girded
performing deeds OF immortal valor upon the great
battle held OF Virginia. The mighty roar OF far of
Dattles, 6ONene0 Dy distance, did not interrupt his
pleasing artistic occupations, and while Thousands
Of bis comrades In arms were doing battle and dying
FOR their country he was planning memorials for
them and connecting his name forever with their
glory, through q pyramid of cobble stones orna-
mented by his ingenious jackknife. The committee.
without wasting more time over such Q frivolous
claim, recommended Its indefinite postponement
