MILITARY FASHION FOR LADIES.

Fashion has turned her back on the navy
and taken up with the army in the matter of
cloth suits. Instead of the suit of navy blue
with blouse and sailor collar all cloth suits
are now made a la militdire. They are made
with a straight, long, tight-ftting basque
and sleeves, straight, round and rather long
over skirts, and trimmed walking skirt
The front of the basque is ornamented with
rows of black soutache braid extending from
shoulder to shoulder across the top, and
growing narrower towards the waist, and
widening out again to the bottom of the
basque. The ends of the braid are turned
under in loops or are fastened down with tiny
round buttons of passementerie. The front
of the overskirt, the sleeves and the turned
over collar are ornamented in the same way.
A large teather-trimmed hat and long buff
mosquetaire gloves drawn over the sleeves
complete the costume. Cadet and army
blue are the favorite c0l0rs for these
suits. Surtouts of black diagonal cloth,
reaching to the knees, close-ftting about the
bust and hips, and trimmed in the same
way, are very effective

LOVER OF SOLDIERS RIGHTS.
the Editor NATIONAL. TPTPrrHr.
A PENsIONER,

To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
Being a reader of your valuable paper, can
speak for a large number Of soldiers in great
need of what the Government justly owes them,
being poverty stricken from the effects of poor
health and failure OF crops. If our Senators and
Representatives knew exactly our necessary
wants and sufcrings they would not hesitate
nor delay one days time in passing the equali-
zation bounty bill, which would relieve the
great suffering of many ex-soldiers wish we
had a few friends in Congress that would urge
the equalization bill to become law. I send
my subscription for THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE,
and add one more to the list Of subscribers.
l remain a lover of soldiers rights,

SEND THEM ALONG.

To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
l have taken THE TRIBUNE now perhaps
three months, and it has become very dear to
me, not only for its fearless championship of all
soldiers, but for the many very interesting
"reminiscences OF the war. L don't think any
thing is dear to the old soldier as to fight his
battles over again, either with q comrade or to
hear them related by the press. Almost every
soldier that went through the war could relate
some stirring battle scenes or adventure if they
only had a chance, and I think one of the OBJ
iects of your paper is to give them a chance if
they wish. When old soldiers get to talking,
if one relates an incident it brings to mind to
the others something similar.
Yours truly, 7. S. POTTER.

To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
VIII you please allow me short space in
your valuable paper to say, that 1 would like
to know how it is that Congress can so soon
pass bill for the relief of the Mississippi suf-
ferers, but the men who have suffered for the
past eighteen years from the effects of wounds
which they received in line of battle, and their
health broken down by the exposure of army
life, and yet to this day there are hundreds of
thousands of them that have not received what
is due to them from the Government of the
United States. The soldiers who went to the
war when this country was in great peril are
the sufferers who need a speedy relief

THE TRUE HEROINE,

What was she like / cannot tell;
only know God loved her well;
Two noble sons her gray hairs blest-
And he, their sire was now at rest.
And why her children loved her so,
And called her blessed, all shall know;
She never had a selfish thought,
Nor valued what her hand had wrought.
She could be just in spite of love;
And cherished hates she dwelt above;
In sicIS-rooms, they that had her care,
Said she was wondrous gentle there
IT was fearful trust, she knew.
TO guide her young immortals through;
But Love and Truth explained the way,
And Piety made perfect clay.
She taught them to be pure and true
And brave, and strong, and courteous, toe;
She made them reverence silver hairs,
And feel the poor mans biting cares.
She won them ever to her side;
Home was their treasure and their pride;
Its food, drink, shelter, pleased them best,
And there they found the sweetest rest.
And often, as the shadows FELL
And twilight had attuned them well,
She sang of many a noble deed,
And marked with JOY their eager heed.
And most she marked their kinding eyes,
When telling Of the victories
That made the Stars and stripes NAME
Their country rich in honest fame.
1t was a noble land, she said
Its poorest children lacked not bread;
II was so broad. so rich so free,
They sang its praise beyond the sea.
And thousands sought its kindly shore,
And none were poor and friendless more;
All blessed the name of Washington,
And loved the Union every one.
She prayed the skies might soon be bright,
And made her sons prepare for fight;
Brave youths their zeal proved clearly then,
In such an hour youths can be men!
BY day she went from door to door
Men caught her soul, unfelt before;
by night she prayed, and planned, and dreame
Till morn's red light wars lightning seemed.
The cry went forth; forth stepped her sons,
In martial blaze of cleaning guns;
Still striding on TO perils dire,
They turned to catch her glance Of fire.
No fears no fond regrets she knew,
But proudly watched them fade from view;
Lord, keep them SOL" she said, and turned
To where her lonely hearth-fire burned.

TRAVELLING AS MERCHANDISE,

Three weeks ago John McAuley, an old
and well-known citizen of Chicago, who is
Of an eccentric and jocular disposition, con-
ceived the idea of boxing himself up and
obtaining transportation to Philadelphia as
merchandise He was informed by the agent
OF the Adams Express Company that he
could 90 in box, but that he would have to
pay passenger fare. McAuley declared that
he would go as merchandise and would pay
no more than $3.50 per hundred. He boxed
himself up with a weeks provisions by his
side, and was taken by an eXpressman to the
Office. The box was Is inches wide, feet
long hooped with iron bands and ornament

it contained flowers 1t was addressed to

GIVE THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE AMMUNITION"
To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
I am an old soldier and a subscriber to THE
TRIBUNE, and I wish to say few words to my
old comrades of the war. Comrades, as we stood
by the batteries the field to protect the rights
of every American, so let us stand by the new
press of THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE, to protect
our own rights, for she is a mighty gattling
gun, who is throwing thousands of hot shot
every week in our defence, and all we have to
do is to ram down one cartridge in the shape of
a subscription to keep the old gun i'll ammuni-
tion for whole year. There is a good gunner
at the breech, and he makes no poor shots.
Give him plenty of ammunition, and he will
soon batter down the old fort of prejudice and
tardiness that now stands in the front of every
old soldier. FRANK HIEsT,
