AN ARMY SURGEONS EXPERIENCE.

To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
In your paper, that so ably defends the rights
of the soldier, there has been so much written,
and so much better than ] could express, that
l have not up to the present thought proper to
add word but as have been some four years
striving by all the honorable means in my
power to secure pension, find it more diff
cult than at first supposed. l rendered my
resignation, was honorably discharged, and
returned home broken down with rheumatism,
gradually getting worse, until am not able to
earn five dollars per month l never called for
help until was unable to earn my living and
my means nearly exhausted. There should of
course be every reasonable guard thrown around
soldiers claims, but not so exacting as to debar
honest and just claims. Out Of the hundreds
have treated / cannot call to mind from men,
ory one in twenty sufficiently clear to establish
a claim for pension. There must be good
degree of liberalty as to proof, or there will be
some of the most worthy and needy cases of
broken down soldiers that know, if they live
a very few years, or even months, will have to
be supported by charity. / hope to see justice
done to all as near as may be; if there is doubts
let il be Oh the side of mercy.

THE DEMANDS OF THE SOLDIERS.

To the Editor NATIONAL tribune:
As your paper is the ex-soldiers' bold advo-
cate, please give me space in your columns to
say word to my old comrades. First, COM
rades, let us renew our VOWS TO stand by each
other next November, and when we cast our
vote for our law makers let us cast it for those
who will use their best efforts to bring about a
speedy settlement of all just claims of the de-
serving soldiers. We want the equalization of
bounty, the arrears of pension extended, all
Union soldiers who were in rebel prisons to have
a pension, all Mexican soldiers pensioned, land
warrants to all honorably discharged soldiers
of the late war of the rebellion, and the pen
sion laws so amended as TO enable every just
claim to be speedily adjusted. Give our dear
old comrade, the Hon. VIM. w. Dudley, all the
clerks and money he wants to settle those long
neglected claims that have been pigeon-holed
for ten years. Wake up, comrades Sound

AMUSING INCIDENT IN THE

An amusing incident occurred in the Senate
on Monday last The bill to extend the char
ter of national banks was under consideration,
and Senator Voorhees, was delivering carefully
prepared speech, which was being listened to
with marked attention. Outside = severe rain
andwind storm was raging, and a small spar
row flew in one of the open windows and found
It's way to the Senate chamber. The little bird
hoped about quite lively upon the rail which
encircles che gallery, at the same time chirp-
ing sway ut great rate. The dignifed Sena-
tors immediately withdrew their attention
from the speaker and eagerly watched the
antics of the sparrow. In vain the Senator
from Indiana endeavored to hold the attention
of his hearers; they were too much taken up
with the bird. He finally directed one of the
page boys to go up into the gallery and capture
the sparrow, and then proceeded with his
speech. After it WAS all over some one re-
marked, "Well, 1 wouldn't have thought that
a sparrow was more attractive than a speech
from Dan. Voorhees,"
