LITTLE Fed Can.

On our first page this week will be found
the opening chapter of Mr.. Ransom T. Pow
ellis charming narrative, entitled "BTave
Little Red Cap" He tells his story in plain
and simple English, just as he might relate
it to personal friend at his own fireside.
It's truth there is no occasion to vouch for,
since it bears on its face the evidence of its
verify. ' 1t is Mr.. Powell's intention to mar
rate, in regular order, his experiences from
the time he entered the army until he was
finally mustered out of service, and, although
the chief interest Of his story viii uudoubt-
edly centre in his description of prison life
at Andersonville, what he saw in other
rebel prison-pens as well as in the army,
will serve to increase the attraction which
it is likely to have for our readers. We need
hardly say that those who wish to follow
him in his adventures should be sure that
their subscriptions date from the present
issue, since it may be difficult hereafter to
supply back numbers.

The temperance movement of forty years
ago began East and moved West. In 1872 this
movement was at its lowest ebb before its re-
vival by the Ohio crusade; but eight States,
three of which in New England had prohibi-
tion laws, and two of which have since replaced
prohibition by license system. The new pro-
hibition movement is an appeal to the people,
and beginning in the West has worked east
ward. In 1850 it carried Kansas, and last June
Iowa was carried by an overwhelming ma
iority. In both States the important part of
the agitation was carried on by women. The
question is now being agitated in Pennsylvania,
and the State temperance committee called

WE DESIRE to call the particular atten-
tion of our readers to the information con-
cerning the industrial, agricultural, railroad,
commercial, and financial development Of
the United States, which is TO be found
under the head of Our Growing Country"
on our eighth page Some Of our readers
may be disposed TO take exception to the
large amount Of space devoted to news Of
this character, but it is the duty Of every
citizen in a land of such wonderful progress
as ours to keep posted concerning the con-
dition and direction of modern enterprise,
and although he may feel no concern in the
state of the grain, petroleum, and cattle
markets, or the fluctuations OF the New
York stock market, he must see, If he viii
but reflect, that these are infalIible indica-
tions of the prosperity of the whole country,
and we need hardly say that the more
healthful its condition and the larger the
income Of the Government the better must
be his chances of securing from Congress the
pension legislation which he has SO long
demanded.

TIE NATIONAL TRIBUNE for this week is
newsier and more interesting than usual. Some
marked improvements are noticed in its now
excellent makeup.
From The Washington Posf1
The last issue of The NATIONAL TRIBUNE
appears very much improved in arrangement
and typographical dress, while the contents
show a selection of most interesting articles,
all of which are calculated to revive the mem-
ories Of the soldiers.
From, the Baltimore Day
THE NATIONAL tribune, the organ of the
Grand Army of the Republic, published IN
Washington, is an admirable weekly paper de-
voted to the interests of the ex-soldiers of the
United States, and it has recently undergone
some improvements which viii make 1t much
more attractive to the general reader, chief
amongst which are arrangements for historical
sketches of famous battles and campaigns by
soldiers who participated in them; very full
agricultural department for farmers; home
department for ladies, and youths department
for children. 1t is a bright, well edited and
attractive paper, and is deservedly winning an
enormous circulation.

GENERAL OPDYKE is out in letter on
General Schoield, in defense of General
Thomas, at Nashville, in December, 1861, in

ability. The letter, which appeared in the

long to be reproduced in these columns, but
extracts from it will appear next week.

THE nomination of General Benz. T. But
Ter by the Massachusetts Democrats is likely
to prove an empty compliment so far as the
chances of his election are concerned. The
General is an astute politician, and an in
trepid leader, but when he runs for Gov
ernor (which is generally once year. he
always brings up against stone wall-that
immense Republican majority in Massachu
sets! However, the General, despite his
years, is still tough and vigorous, and he
may yet outlive all the political parties now
in existence, and, finally, be elected Gov
ernOr by the great and only Butler party.

Dissolution Notice.

Dissolution Notice,
The copartnership heretofore existing be-
tween Messrs. Henry Cohn and Il. Baum
has, by mutual consent been dissolved.
! Mr.. Coin will continue in the jewelry bust
ness, making diamonds and precious stones
y speciality, and Mr.. Baum is in the dry
goods line on Elm street. These gentlemen
have been in business in Dallas together for
the past ten years, sometimes the benef-
Charles of fortunes brightest smiles and
again the victims of her rudest frowns.
They have seen Dallas grow from the strug-
Cling, struggling town of less than decade
ago, to its present position of importance
and thrift, and through all these years they
have been steadfast in their devotion to bus
mess principles, fair dealing and justice to
all men. They will each one continue to
pursue this policy in the future as in the
past, and solicit fair share of the public
patronage. Mr.. +. Baum will shortly go
to New York, where he will lay in an i'm
mense stock of dry goods, clothing and
everything in that line, and it is the pur-
pose of Henry Cohn to carry the most ex-
tensive, magnificent and exquisite stock OF
diamonds and other precious stones, in con-
nection with his loan office, ever seen in
Dallas, or in all the south even. He will
continue in the old stand, No. 70S Main
street, with money to loan, and he cor
daily invites the public to call and exam
inc his large and handsome stock of selec
tons and unredeemed pledges.
