The Meetings Of the Veterans.

y IN, New Haven this week is enlivened by tn
presence of hundreds ofveterans Of the lat,
war. There are the great commander
whose names are linked with the great event
There too are the men whose fortitude, devo
ton and patriotism secured the great result
It's safe to say that there is not a soldier who
isjustly proud of the part he took in the
great struggle who is not thinking OF tne
. meeting OF his comrades and who wouio NOV
keenly enjoy the privilege of ciaspi"s '.e
hands of those whose mettle he mas hno" IA
battle ond to look once more into the eyes
that have looked in common on death. The
friendships of the field and the recollections
of the comrades that have not survived the
pe.iis t...cy passed through, which are Of the
most endearing and sacred character.
1t is true that there are those like Mr..
Sumner, who look upon these reunions with
disfavor, because they feel that they will keep
alive the animosities that grew out of the war;
They believe that everything that can posi-
bly, call to mind the bloody contest ard its
results should be speedily blotted from sight
and mind. Itthese apprehensions were well
founded, there would be the best grounds for
the discontinuance of such meetings; but the
fact is that no feeling of resentment is cher
ished by those who did service in the field.
Between the soldiers of both armies, even be-
fore the close of the bloody strife, there had
grown up feeling ofmutual respect for each
other as brave men. The army that of its
own good will shared its scanty rations with
their Vanishing and defeated opponents in
arms at Appomattox, is not made up of men
who hold humanity resentments. The bitter
ness existing between the two sections of the
country which is every day disappearing, is
not that growing out of the recollections of
the acts of the two armies but out of con-
hict Of systems. Blotting from the, battle
flags the names of memorable fields where
both were recklessly brave, making the pages
ofatmy registers blank, abolishing reunions
and razing monuments erected in honor of
the memory of the dead, will not reconcile
those who cling to cause lost and system
destroyed. Nothing short of afull acknowl-
edgment of all that the leaders demanded
when they appealed to the arbitrament of arms
Or such change of convictions on the prin-
ciples involved as will lead all of them, as
many already have done, to see that the
cause of the Union was right, will bring them
into relations of peace and friendship. To
sink all distinctions between the army that
perilled life for the country and that which
fought as desperately for its distinctions, to
have northern soldiers forgetful of the terrible
waror oftheir dead and crippled comrades, will
not bring those who are row hostile to the in
evitable results Of the war to fuller, or
speedier appreciation of them. Time, and
the logic passing events, and present acts OF
fair dealing and justice must be relied on to
accomplish q more perfect unien:cst

"reminiscences Of Captain Han.

A gentleman of this city. who in 1862 was
the United States Consul at st. Johns, New
foundland, tells us that Captain Hall at two
different periods was au inmate Of his family
while at that place. The first time Captain
Hall ever visited the foreign regions, was as a
passenger on beard of whaler, command
ed by Captain s. o. Buddington, afterward the
firm friend and companion of Captain Hall in
the voyages of discovery towards the North
Pole, and his sailing master on the present ex-
petition. On his return homeward Captain
then Mr.. Hall, tarried at the consuls for two
weeks. While there he manifested almost q
childlike delight at the sight of ladies and
children, and would listen for hours to the mu-
sic of the piano.
When he left the United States for the voy-
age which he had then completed, Abraham
Lincoln had not been nominated for the Presi-
dency, and on his arrival at st. Johns, he was
not only ignorant of who was President, but of
the fact that the nation was engaged in the gi-
gantic and bloody war. When he was in
formed of this fact he seemed filled with amaze
ment which was Immediately followed by long
and violent weeping Papers being furnished
him from the United States, he spent the whole
night in reading of the war, and for several
days it was a constant grief to him.
His nature appeared to he as gentle and ten
der as womans. His sympathies were easily
aroused. He delighted in nature in all her
moods, and was drawn into the icy region sim
ply by his love of adventure and passionate
fondness for science. This unframed and I'M
tanned nature would sometimes vent itself in
paroxysms of anger, which however would
quickly suhside. On his way up North on his
second voyage, he remained again for two
weeks with the consul at st. Johns, while the
vessels were making their final preparations
before launching into the unknown dangers of
a polar sea. 1t was on this second visit that his
fondness for raw meat became noticed He
seemed to enjoy eating tallow candles and fat
of all kinds.
The Esquimaux woman appeared.to be sin
cerely attached to Captain Hall and he to her
Her memory of faces and names was wonder
full; she never forgot those whom she had once
seen. The gentleman thinks that Capt. Bud
dington will bring the vessel safely home. He
has sailed for thirty-one years in the Arctic
seas and can find his way home as well with
out Captain Hall, as he could were he on board.
Indeed, Captain Hall always relied upon his
accurate judgment and ripe experience for tho
navigation of his ship. s-s s:-.q

full estimate of what it will cost outraged
Erie stock holders and others whom Jay
Gould has swindled to confuse his entire
body, putting the cost of fattening his nose
at 5000, the sum assessed by New York
court. The entire cost Of a total confusion
is put at $11, 100. 1t is quite possible that

the management of trains. The managers
will take off the lightning trains, dispense
