TO the Editor OF The Tribuns.

SIR: In May, 1851, / left my situation and
joined the Army Of the Union to protect then in
suited flag. believe President Lncoln's proclamation
promised 800 to all honoraby discharged who
listed for three years the think, aso that the
United States Courts afterwsrd decided that all
were entitled to that bounty who enlisted above
have claim filed Washington for the past two years;
and In to my inquiries there tho officials say
they don't know who entitled to it. Cannot you.
sr do something to urge Congress the necessity OF
deciding this poni BY doing you will confer favor
many volunteers of May, 1861.
PRIVATE OF THE n. Y. N. q.
Eesc- York. Dec. IS, 1871
Remarks.-Our correspondent beli1es that President
Lincoln's Proclamation of May. 1861, promised a
bounty of 800 to each volunteer We kwoto that it
did not There was no need Of bOunties then to OBJ
tain volunteers; tho Governments difficulty was to
decide which Of the many regiments pressed upon it
it should accept And as that call was for threo
months, mot years. the offer of such bounty would
have been absurd.
We do not understand our correspondent to say
that he actually ssed three years. BUunties are not
apt to be offered at the outset of war expected to
be short to those who enlist for three years. but
rather to those who actually serre 80 long.
Our correspondent we presume. mistakes the drift
OF tho responses to his applications to Washington.
We venture the assertion that they tell him that the
officers applied to know no law under which he is
entitled to bounty.-[Ed.

The hopes which had been entertained OF the
speedy convalescence Of tho Prince OF Wales
are again disappointed by the announcement
of a troublesome tumor which will retard. even
if it does not endanger his recovery. The
physicians insist upon it that there is no espe-
cial gravity in these new symptoms; but these
encouraging statements arc hardly borne out
by the fact that they have telegraphed for the
Queen to come, to Sandringham, and she has
Obeyed the summons.

Word comes to us from Washington that the
foreign importers are carrying around little
plank which they desire to contribute to a
Presidential platform, Democratic or other. 1t
is, to have tenth, if possible one-ffth of the
Customs duties paid in greenbacks. That
would be reduction Of the Tariff. What is the
interest in behalf Of which this incessant war
fare on our country's industry is kept upi 1t
is a National Monopoly engineered by asso-
ciated and corporate mOnOpOlies. British manu-
featuring is forced out Of the hands of rich in
dividuals into the control Of richer corpora
tions and combinations Of money. At home,
the change presents hard and cold front to
the operatives, and deepens and widens the old
division between Capital and Labor. Wages
in England hencefoIth are o grudging COM
promise between power and necessity. Abroad,
the change has invigorated the propagandism
Of Free Trade, and substituted corporate
unity Of plan and action for the unorganized
efforts of individuals, N the struggle to monop-
olize the markets of the world. A study of
the recent Trade and Industrial statistics of
Great Britain should make thoughtful every
man in the United States who cares for the
public good. They show an amazing develop
ment of industry and accumulation of power.

He found Flibertigibbet in his usual
place, on the fence in front of the
schoolhouse. Stopping in front of him
he asked, "Where did you get that dogl"
"My uncle done brung him FINN the

"Well, I'm going to ask him about

you belong to Fhbertigibbet 2"
There was pause, then in curious
half-squeal half-bark, issuing appar-
emily from the dogs mouth, came the
answer, "No."
Flibertigibbet started back, his eyes
almost bursting from their sockets, and
stared from dog to man, and back
again, in mingled fear, wonder, and
incredulity.
"Where did he get you2" And the
dog apparently barked out, "Stole me
from Mr.. Campbell
Flibertigibbet dropped the string,
and put one leg over the fence.
"What did he do to you after he
stole you 2"
"Cut my hair of, and BACKED me. "
The other leg followed its mate, and
Flibertigibbet bounded down the hill,
stumbling over rocks, rolling in hol-
lows, but never stopping till he found
a hiding place in the adjacent woods.
The spaniel, his hair grown, aud the
black washed off, resumed his proper
position in society, but ever afterwards
ran and hid himself when colored
boy approached the house.
1t was long before Flibertigibbet was
seen again in his accustomed haunts
and when he at length appeared it was
with subdued air, and with manifest
repugnance to converse on the subject
of dogs.

And she scholar like me,

Her ears should be slapped and her buns locked up
Her recess withheld for days

And how should tattle of all that she did,

And smile, when she Numbered in spelling or French
That horrid, unmerciful smile
If I were beauty like Rosa Bell,
And she were a fright like myself,
What sa,lcy remarks should constantly make
To vex her,-the proud little elf
What fun should loke at her freckle5, her nose
Her elbows, her knuckles, her hair,
And all with that delicate litter Of hers,
That stingingly lady-like air
But then am merely supposing, Of course,
Impossible things. Who can tell
What truly would happen if truly were

And help them and love them, all three,
And do unto others as myself would
That others should do unto me!
