How the people yelled and cheered on
the shore Fifty men or more jumped into
the boats to prepare for the chase. Ring
ing shots began cracking over the water.
Louder and louder rolled the terrible drum.
Sharp and clear rang out the cruel
fife.
Nearly exhausted, half dead with fatigue,
the girls toiled on-tearful laughing,
ready to drop on the wet sand, and still
beating and blowing with fiery cour-
age.
The boats swept swiftly out of the harbor
on the outgoing tide. The fishermen came
up with the burning boats Part stopped
to put the fires out, and the rest pursued
the flying enemy with such shots as they
could get at them. In the midst of it all,
the sun went down.
The read-coats did not return q shot
They expected every minute to see a thou
sand men open on them at short range
from the bench, and they reserved their
powder
Out OF the harbor they went in confusion
and dismay, The ship weighed anchor
and ran out her big guns, but not fire
shot. Darkness fell on the scene as the
boats reached the ship, Then she sent a
round shot toward the light. 1t fell short
and threw a great fountain of white water
into the air.
The girls saw 1t, and dropping their
drum and fife sat down on the beach and
laughed till they cried.
That night the ship sailed away. The
great American army Of two had arrived,
and she thought it wise TO retreat in time,
Rebecca is still living, old and feeble in
body, but brave in spirit and strong in
patriotism. She told this story herself to
the writer, and it is true,-Charles Bran

The Popularity Of the Equitable Life Assurance Society
indicated by the fact that for Elen years its average an
nua New Business has been larger than that of any other
Company in the world is due, in great measure to its we'll
known prompness in the payment of Death Claims and its
rule never to take advantage Of echncalities where an
equitable claim exists.
Asa GUARANTEE Of this and to conteract the pe,n
cious influence of technical policy adhered to by many
companies the Equitable makes ALL ITS POLICIES old and
new, throughout the United States.
ABSOLUTELY INCONTESTABLE

and at six months of age they were scarce larger
than at birth But such was the parental deluson
that he fancied they were in vigorous health,
and really splendid boys. Thus infatuated, he took
them to be viewed by our Senators and Represen-
tatives in Congress, expecting them to be enrap-
tured at the sight Oh! what bitter disappoint-
ment awaited him He went with them first to the
Senate Chamber where be was met by Shields
Thurman, Edmunds, &c. They warmly berated the
father for bringing two such monstrosities into their
presence and Shields more indignant than either of
the others, threw the two brats out of the window
Imagine the feelings of the fond father Hurryng
to the spot where lay his darling little Esculapius
and Blackstone scarce breathing, he wrung his
hands in despair gathered up his disabled infants
aud fastened with them to his residence at the cor
ner of 10Th street and Pennsylvania Avenue There
he administered cordials and restoratves there dav
and night he watched over and waited upon his
hapless offspring Oft in his bitterness of anguish
he cried out :" Oh my Esculapus oh my Black
stone, may you be saved but if either must die.
would to God it should be Blackstone and not Escu-
lapus, for Escuapius is indeed the more precious .
Through the most vigant nursing we learn that
these infants, in the language of the immortal Web
ster still i've and that the insane father contem-
plates again exhibiting them at the Capitol expect
ing that they will at last be appreciated and ad
mired Vain hope ridiculous delusion second
visit will probably insure their deaths, if not indeed
the official decapitation of their doting parent Then
over the remains of the three, may be written these
appropriate lines:

Hon. Benjamin LeFevre of Ohio.

Among the many active energetic, and thorough
going business men in Congress is the above named
gentleman, and who, although serving his first
term in that distinguished assemblage, has already
made an enviable record as a good legislator and
faithful exponent of the views of his constit-
uents.
General LeFevre is member Of two very impor-
tant committees of the House of Representatives
those of Agriculture and Military Affairs, and is
pans-taking hard working committee man.
He faithfully and bravely served his country dur
ing the late war and made a record as gallant
soldier, and now that he has been honored by his
constituents (among whom many soldiers) by
seat in the National Legislature he shows his appre-
citation of the "boys in blue his old comrades
by rendering them every possible service in the
matter of securing pensions and bounty for them,
and is an earnest supporter of the bin for the
Equalization of Bountes"
A genial and courteous gentleman to all who
come in contact with him. he is destined to have
bright and prosperous future, and greater honors
still await him.

Soldiers Communications.

These are very interesting feature in paper.
The opinions of soldiers in regard to all that affect
their interests are always entitled to respectful
hearing, and comrades like to compare each others
views, as presented in our paper And then to read
of all the incidents associated with the life of sol
dier in the field, the camp, the hospital charg
ing the enemy now yarning around the midnight
fire, now wounded and sick in the hospital-al of
these situations, in which many soldiers have been
cause memories to be awakened which, though at
times sad, still are and ever will be interesting to
dwell upon While we wish to accept any articles
of merit, our space being limited obliges to de-
cline many which would otherwise be published
Do not make communications long and only oorite
on one side Of the paper.
The National tribune., 1880-03-01

To Members of Congress.

We appeal to every member of the present Con-
gress irrespective of all political considerations and
views, not to permit adjournment of this session
until you have passed the bill providing for the
q Equalization of Bountesu
Such an act is one of simple justice, already too
long delayed to the brave defenders and the kindly
expressions in behalf of this measure which we have
recently heard from so many Republican and Dem
ocratic members lead to believe that your hearty
sympathy and cooperation is already fully enlisted
in behalf of the soldiers, and that effort of yours
viii be spared to secure an early passage of this
bill
Not only will you receive the thanks and graft
tude of every soldier but public sentiment will
everywhere sustain you in your righteous action.
The National tribune., 1880-03-01
The Importance of this Paper to the Soldier

1t is safe to say that there many thousands of
soldiers in the United States having just claims
against the Government who are utterly unac-
quainted with that fact. This they can only learn
by being posted in the laws of Congress and the
rulings of the Pension Office affecting soldiers
claims. Our special mission is to shed light upon
these subjects and for the trifing of fifty cents
you will secure paper for year, during which
time you may probably learn you are entitled to
amount Of money which will add much to your
comfort and prosperity Remember that during
sessions of Congress new laws are constantly being
enacted for the benefit of ex-soldiers their widows
and orphans fathers and mothers, and that to learn
in regard to these matters you must take paper
specially devoted to giving information such sub
ects the general newspaper scarce referring to
such matters. In The TRIBUNE you are not only
posted on all such questions, but you have lively
paper of much interest to the family circle Can
you make better investment of fifty cents than to
subscribe for it?
The National tribune., 1880-03-01
Is it q Legal Claim ?

When soldier enlisted for three years or the
war" the Government agreed on its part to pay him
so much per month, and to supply him with certain
rations and clothing. The Government also agreed
to furnish him with medical attendance in case of
sickness or disability, and to pay him a bounty,
proclded he should until the expiration of his
term of service the Government reservng the right
to discharge him at any time providing the war
should close.
Now how the contract of the Government
carried out Instead of caring for the soldier when
he was disabled by reason of sickness the United
States was clearly bound to under the contract he
was discharged. He should have been cared for
until his health restored and he thus been ena-
bed to return to the army and complete his term of
service; but the Government peremptorily disposed
of him by dscharging him from the service, and
thus swindled him out of his bounty Were any
bondhoders treated in that way
They bought bonds with greenbacks, on which
the Government agreed to pay interest only in gold
and which aoas paid; but when the bonds them
selves were presented for redemption and many of
them long before maturity, the holders of them
raised great clamor and insisted that the faith of
the Government was pledged to the payment of
the bond itself in gold.
The National tribune., 1880-03-01
The Equalization Bounty Bill.

Remember that Congress is now in session, and
that we will forward to any soldier copy of the
following petition receipt of three cent stamp
Let every subscriber send for petition and secure
all the signers possible
TO the Honorable Senate and House Of Representatives.
Congress assembled;
The petition of the Soldiers who served in the Union
Army during the War of the Rebellion respectfully rep

That whereas it is conceded that the passage of what
known the Equlzaton Bounty Bill is of
Justice recognized already by its passage several times
in the House of Representatives and the present is the
opportune time to pass the BILL for the Treasury is
flowing with funds, which could be devoted to nober
purpose than discharge obligation to the who
in its hour of need stepped forward to from aesuc
tion therefore beg ofyour honorable bodies most
respectfully yet earnestly, and without delay to pass this
bill thus perform act for which you viii merit
thanks and gratitude. And your memorialists will

AS we have already received large number of
requests from soldiers for the great speech of Sena
tor Logan on the Fitz-J ohm Porter case and beev-
ing that every soldier will be desirous of possessing
a copy, that he may examine the whole question
from his own standpoint, we hereby notify our
readers that we have made arrangements for the
issuing of large number of the speech in the form
of the printed debates of Congress- and consisting of
forty-six pages and which we will forward to
any address on the receipt of ten cents which may
be sent in postage stamps or otherwise most con-
venient
Where orders are sent by clubs the money should
be RENTED by postal money order, draft on New
Y York or by registered letter.
The speech is accompanied by map printed in
colors, fully showing the situation of both armies
at the time and place to which it relates and which
will be of invaluable aid to the reader and of much
historical value besides.
We issue this speech at cost price, wishing that
every soldier should have copy.
All Grand Army Posts and Other organizations
of soldiers should send in their orders at once
Orders of 800 and 900 copies have already been
rapidly received from soldiers and others for this
speech, and we would suggest that persons desir
ing it send in the orders without delay, and we will
promptly fill them We are prepared to attend to
all orders and rapidly edition is ex-
hausted we issue another
The National tribune., 1880-03-01

No such contract appeared in the bond. The
bond was silent The doubt, however, was raised,
and the bondhoders received the benefit of it. The
benefit of that doub, has universally been given in
favor of the bondholder and consequently against
the United States
IF the Government wavered in arriving at its
conclusions, these gentlemen holding the obligations
of the United States would secure eminent counsel
and strong political influence, and victory always
perched on their banner" and stocks went up in
Wall street.
But in the consideration of soldiers claims, the
doubt is always against him. Happily, however
for them, this present Congress is becoming fully
alive to the fact that the grossest injustice has too
long been meted out to the soldier and very many
of our leading statesmen, both Republicans and
Democrats alike, are moving in the matter, to the
end that these claims for pensions and bounty shall
receive prompt just, and fair consideration.
