Mr.. EDITOR Here / come again, the
bleak wintry winds that howl DER this high
elevated Home farm not yet having frozen
the contented, smiling, chuckling boarders
Of L. s., as they still are happily basking
at their ease and leasure, and draw them-
selves closely to the heaters, like sick
kitten to hot brick. Happy mortals-
glorious habitalion, soft, downy beds Of
Continental feathers, after Mrashing time
tin cups, tin weddings, and rabit dinners,
About dinners, thereby hangs a tdiL but not
NJHstdits The Dayton Journal announced
we were to have great rabit dinner ut the
Home. The old toothlcss veterans whetted
the old stumps of what ipory remained in
their mouths that disddn the choicest liq
uor, and the we'll cooked carcoses of rabiis
was the theme Of conversation. Ears, that
had been deprived Of sensitive hearing, sud.
denly regancd their occutenCss, discovered
the sound of the bell, when a stampede was
made, the blind, crippled, halt and lame
competed for speed to the dining room, and
10 mary" a rabit was "thar," but the fumes
OF cod fish, strong enough to walk through
Kansas, greeted the nasal organs of tn
warriors. We are under many obligations
to the Dayton journal for the rdba dinner
announcement, and trust the 700 promised
to us may long live to spread their snowy
tails, and enjoy the freedom Of the forest
escaping Dayton Journal iocais, and the APP
petIcs Of the manned and crippled braves
OF the National Home. The boys enjoyed
the joke, and after coming to barracks were
wildly reminded Of the old darke's song /:
"Oh whar shall we go when de great
day comes,
Wild de blowin' NV trumpets an de
banging of drums?
How menny po' sinners will be cotched
out late,
An find no latch to de garden gate ?"
They have two tables here, one for Sar-
geants of the barracks aud others who are
eamsters, hostlers, and laundry men.
They pay so cents per month, get hash, ex-
ira grub, &C., while the inmates Of barracks
either pay $3.50 every three months or do
table duty as walters. This extra table
does no table waiting and is fed ON ertra
grub. How much justice there is in this,
you can surmise. 1t is unfair, and extra
grub in this Home is unjust, as every man
here and belonging to this Home is
equal, and on an equality, all, and every

Men are dying off rapidly, there having
been three, two and not less than one dy-
ing every day for nearly a month.
Miss Eaton, the school teacher, was pre-
sented, on New Years day with " Encyclo.
pedia Britannica" by her pupils. Speech
es were made by Chaplain Ernshaw, Col.
Brown, Col. Thomas, Major Wakenshaw,
and John I. Brady. Mr.. Brady said he
"thanked Miss Eaton that he was able to
fill the position of Messenger Clerk in the
Legislature of the State of Ohio" Whoa,
Jemima Brady ought to have compli-
mented OConnor, now in Jail for forgery,
as O'Connor obtained the place for him.
But, Brady's duties are arduous, as the
whole success of the Democracy of this
Nation rests on Chancellor Bradv's should
