are only sixty-ive of these cases. In thiry-three

one of them both hands ard one soldier lost both
hands and both legs.
Senator Kellogg has received letter from General
Lor gstreet asking that the Pension Act recently
n ssed be extended TO include the soldiers oil
the Mexican War. II this should be done Jefferson
Davis, General Longstrest. and great number OF
Confederate officers would have their names placed
on the pension rolls of the Government.
Dr. John b. Read presented to the Senate Committee
on Patents to-day his claim against the Government
for $4,000 for the use Of inventions and I'M
provements in proiectiles for rfed cannon
during the war. The same invention was
patented by him in Richmond during
the war and was used by the Confederates
in The field. Now. as a loyal man, he presents the
claim against the Federal Government for royalty
for the use of this same projcctle by the Federal
Army in the suppression of the Rebellion. AT his
request no one was admitted to the committee-roon
during his presentation of the case.

Parental Patriotism.

II has become almost an axiom that the well
fare Of the republic depends on tine integrity
and intelligence of its citizens. Ii is equally
clear that the character of the citizens is large
~ shaped by the influences Of their childhood.
These influences are, to great degree, con-
trolabe by parents. 1t follows that parental
supervision and authority over their children
are duties TO the State. Shrewd observers tell
Us that in order to prophecy what society will
be fifteen years hence, We need only consider
what the young men are to-day. Most persons
will admit that the young Of the present, are
In some respects less promising than those of
generation ago. II there is IS much intelli-
gence, there is less stability. Ii there is no
more vplgarity and profanity, it is more shame.
less and open. II there Is equal self.relance,
there Il less respect for age and experience.
There may be as much energy, but there is no
gain in real manliness and earnestness Of pur.
pose. And many think that in these things
there Is real deterioration. II 80, what Is the
cause: We think there has been real decline
in morals and We attribute this to the indirect
influence of the war. Almost generation Of
fathers were removed from their homes. Al
most generation of children were deprived of
paternal restraint. This alone was much. But
to this was added, that inevitable demoraliza-
ton which results when bodies of men are sep
arated from the cvilizing influences of home
life. Decentralization and the republic cannot
both survive. Integrity and intelligence usu-
ally have their birth at home or nowhere. 1t
devOlves upon those fathers Who shouldered
their rifles for the defence Of their country, to
train and educate their children for the coun-
try's perpetpstion. These are the most potent
weapOns-.'as arrows In the hand of mighty
man." These rightly welded, will do more
than aught else to ward of danger from the
nation.
China, according TO occidental ideas, has few
elements Of strength; and yet China has sur.
vived from time immemorial-vhy! Largely
because there parents rule children. instead Of
rfce rers0. And 90, Notwithstanding that cor.
ruption which pervsdes Chinese society with
its disintegrating tendencies, the Flowefy
Kingdom endures age after age, just because
children are guided and compelled to walk in
appointed ways. The neighboring empire Of
Japan is an even better instsnee Of what
nation, comparatively isolated and destitute Of
many Of what We deem necessary advantages,
may become; and One Of the chief character
