He is an instructive and pleasing writer and

4 Grand National Reunion.

Last week in brief paragraph we suggested
the idea of a grand National Reunion of ex
soldiers to be held in this city May 3Oth next
We see 10 good reason why such q coming
together Of those who helped to uphold the
| honor Of the ola Flag during the rebellion against
its authority should not be had.
1t is eminently fitting that upon Decoration
| Day-a day set apart by the Government TO the
memory Of our dead heroes-the survivors, once
their comrades, should not meet in the Capital
city of the Nation to revive the past and do
honor to the memories of those who went down
beneath the fearful blasts that swept over the
land, but which, thank God, left the Union I'M
impaired and, if anything stronger than ever it
had been before Here lie, at Arlington, repre-
sentaives from every loyal State. Almost every
regiment and battery that served the Govern
ment during the war has its representative in
that silent city of departed heroes
Here, in the various Departments, are men
from every section of the country who were
soldiers once and who would extend warm
anu ITdteTndl greeting 10 tHelI oiu comrades IN
arms.
The Grand Army of the Republic, too has its
representatives here and the various Posts would
vie with each other in doing honor to members
of similar organizations making pilgrimage TO
this national Mecca of every loyal heart
And speaking Of this leads US to inquire, Why
cannot the Grand Army, through its proper
officers, carry the project we have suggested into
effect? Decoration Day owes its existence to
that organization; it is Il mighty power among
ex-soldiers: its system and discipline gives it
facilities for reaching almost every one OF them
and We see no insuperable objection or obstacle
to prevent successful ending Of any effort it
might make in the direction we have indicated
We hope some action will be taken, at least so
far as to ascertain2se1e views OF its mem ers and
other ex-soldiers touching the matter, in time
to permit such Reunion to be held at the APP
pointed time, providing that, upon consideration,
a majority of them agree with Us that such a
gathering is 10 he desired and is found feasible

lmnOrtanf Notice.

Desiring to extend the usefulness of our paper
TO the widest possible extent, and III order that
no ex-solder or other person interested in matters
growing out of the war OF the rebellion may have
reasonable excuse for not taking it, We have con-
Guided to fix the subscription price, until January
1, at one dollar per annum.
Those who have heretofore sent one dollar and
fifty cents for single subscription, by sending
half dollar more with an additional name and
address, viii be granted an additional copy, thus
bringing their individual subscription down to
one dollar for fifty-two numbers. Those wishing
to become subscribers, should, in view of the
above offer, send their one dollar at once, and
those who have already sent one dollar and fifty
cents, should, without delay, remit the remaining
half dollar with another subscriber before the

Why He Loves the Flag.

THE suffering which mother undergoes in
giving birth to her child endears to her the cause
of her anguish and deep solicitude- She looks
upon her own offspring with deeper tenderer
regard than she is able to conceive of in oonnec-
ton with a stranger to her flesh and blood.
And the soldier who has stood in the presence
of death upon the field OF battle-who has suf-
fered, and, it may be, shed his blood for sake
of the "Old Flag"-looks upon it ever after
wards with deeper feeling Of love, of venera-
ton and devotion than can one who has never
made any such sacrifices in it's behalf
