The attachment Of the DOC ard

verb. He gives d preference to i.a
man society, following his master
everywhere, and, like nan. he is
spread over every zone aud climate.
1t is by means Of the keenness Of
this attachment that he ~accu>tons
himself 10 every change aud circnm
stance, and allows himself TO be
framed to every purpose, a watch
dog, as guardian, for the chase. for
draft, aud on the st. BERNARD he is
the jealous assistant of the monks
In rescniug the henighted and
snow covered Traveller. His fideli
ty and affection are mistaken even
under the crnr:e>t treatment of
blows and starvation, and the death
OF bis master scarcely sewers the
bond OF attac. ment. of which many
affecting anecdotes are OH record.

tailo: OF this parish. dying, left a
small II dog inconsolable for his
loss. The little animal would not
leave his dead master even for food
and whatever he ate was obliged
to be put in the same room with
the !%coffin. When the body was
removed for burial, this faithful at
tendant followed his masters re.
mains. After the funeral he was
hunted out of the church yard by
the sexton. The ncxt.day he again
found the animal, which had made
ltS way by some unaccOuntable
means into the enclosure, and had
dug himself a bed on the grave of
his master. Once more he was
hunted out; and again he was
found in the same situation on the
following day.
The minister of the parish, hear
ing Of the circumstance. had him
caught, taken home and fed, and
used every endeavor to win the ami
mails affection; but they were in
separately welded to his late mas |
ter, and be took the first opportuni
ty to escape. and regain his lonely
situation. With true benevolence |
the worthy clergyman permitted
him to follow the bent of his ircli.
nation; but, to soften the rigor of
his fate, he caused q small kennel
to be built on the grave, which
was repleuished once a day with
food and water. Two years did
this pattern of fidelity pass in this
manner, till death put an end to
his griefs.

THE ARMY OF THE CUMBERLAND MONu-
MENT TO GARFIELD.

Postmaster General Howe has written the follow
ing letter to the postmasters of the United States
The Society of the Army of the Cumberland
appeals to you for aid to procure contributions to
the fund for the erection of monument at the
National Capital to the memory OF James A. Gar
field. / am sure no word is needed from me to
enlist your best efforts in behalf OF such cause.
By noble aspiration and tireless endeavOr to pro-
mote the public welfare President Garfield had
achieved the highest honors OF the Republic when
he had but little passed the noon of life. He fell
the victim to malice so wantOn as to be demoniac
ga monument to him will attest the Nations
love for his virtues and the Nations adherence for
that inscrutable depravity which slew him Such
structure should not be stinted for lack of means
The Nation is very rich. Let art exhaust itself on
invention; let money leap to execute her designs
have but lately assumed official relations with
your corps. This is my first communication to you
You are numerous, widespread, influential You
will respond to the appeal of the Society of the
Army OF the Cumberland, and your response will
show, trust, that those who administer the postal
service of the United States are not the least patr
otto nor the least capable of those who work for the
Republic"

CONGRESSMAN Berryis bill, introduced ia the
House last week, to make Cabinet officer ineh-
gible to the Presidency for the term next sue
ceeding his term of office, ought to be promptly
sat upon. 1t is, in the first place, an encroach
ment on the rights of the people, in whom rests
the choice Of a President. Why should they be
deprived of voting for the candidate whom they
prefer, simply because he has served the country
at the head of some Department? If Cabinet
officers choose to intrigue, let the President exer-
else his prerogative and remove them. Recent
events are certainly not calculated to encourage
members of the Cabinet to use their offices for
electiOneering purposes In the second place, no
such bill ought to pass because its effect would
be to deter the ablest statesmen from accepting
Cabinet positions. The desire to be President is
an honorable ambition and no public man ought
to be compelled to make choice between giving
up that or place in the Cabinet Instead OF
disembarrassing the President it would only
multiply the difficulties attending the formation
of strong Cabinet.

The Herald's Falsehoods,

THE New York Herald appears to have lost it's
head completely. 1t actually had the monu-
mental imbecility to declare ON Monday, in a
burst of frenzy, that the Pensions Arrears Act
was not passed for the benefit of soldiers, but is
a continuance arranged by claim agents, pension
lawyers, and an audacious and corrupt lobby at
Washington" The statement fairly bristles with
lies Lie No 1 That the Arrears Bill was not
passed for the benefit of the soldiers. Thousands
of the soldiers have got their money and are
enjoying the benefit of it. Who else could get
it, pray? If they could not the Herald would
not want the act repealed. Lie No. 2: That it
they are not ashamed of it it was righteous
measure, and THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE urged
its passage. Senator ingalls,, however, was its
sponsor, and but four Senators voted against it.
Does the Herald mean to insinuate that the
Senators were bulldozed by few claim agents
And does it not know that the latter under no
circumstances could receive any part of arrears
paid to pensioners? Lie No. 8 That it was
arranged by pension lawyers. Well, they must
be pretty smart fellows to outwit whole Senate
full of lawyers. But does the Herald really sup
pose that their opinions were considered at all
in the matter? 1t is an insult to the Senators
to intimate such a thing. Lie No 4 That it
was arranged by an audacious and corrupt lobby.
Not the least particle OF evidence has ever been
produced in support Of this reckless charge.
Who was to pay such a lobby? Certainly not
the poor soldier; he had no money. Not the
claim agents; they had no money to spare, either;
and besides, their interests were not at stake
In fact, there was no lobby except that which
was inspired by the then Commissioner Bentley,
and all the influence which he possessed was
exerted to defeat the bill. The simple truth is,
that it was public sentiment that compelled the
passage of the bill, and public sentiment is still
strong enough to prevent its repeal, no matter
how much the Herald may be given to lying!
The National tribune., 1882-02-18

SENATOR Ingalls, deserves well of the surviv-
ing soldiers of the late war, and the widows and
children of those who fell in battle. To him,
more than to any other statesman, they are
sions Act, and it has been mainly through the
gallant defense of that measure, in the present
Congress, which he with others has made, that
the attempt to secure the repeal of the bill have
been thus far unsuccessful. But for his mag
nifcent generalship and unfinching courage
MI Beck and the New York Herald might,
after all, have held war dance over the grave
of the Nations honor.
The National tribune., 1882-02-18

CONGRESS should lose no time in making the
necessary appropriation to enable Commissioner
Dudley to employ sufficient clerical force to set
tie all the pending claims within the next year
OF two 1t will cost no more in the end and it
will be blessing to the thousands of veterans
who, for want of the money that the Government
owes them, are forced to struggle on from day to
day in poverty and distress. Congress can no
longer afford to shiEk such grave and pressing
duty
The National tribune., 1882-02-18

THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE pleads guilty in
advance to the charge that it helped to secure
the passage Of the Pension Arrears Act in the
first instance, and prevent its repeal in the
second, and it only regrets that there isn't an
Equalization of Bounties Act to be laid at its
pravity, or not depending somewhat upon
whether it is a crime or a virtue to advocate the
rights of the soldier.
The National tribune., 1882-02-18

SUPPOSE it had been announced on the floor
of the Senate twenty years ago that the pensions
of soldiers disabled in the service would not
begin from the date of their discharge. What
think you, Mr.. Beck, would have been the effect
on the Union armies? But, then, it is scarcely
fair to ask that question. Mr.. Beck at that time
was doubtless thinking of pensions for Confed-
crate soldiers.
The National tribune., 1882-02-18

HAS it remained for the veterans Of the con-
federate army to enforce the lesson of gratitude
to the Union soldier The generous patriotic
speeches of the Southern Senators on the Ingalls,
resolution seem to warrant that inference. Surely
soldiers as the confederacy, had it been estab-
lished, would have done for its own
The National tribune., 1882-02-18

ONE "able-bodied man " and two " half grown
boys would be abundantly sufficient to dispose
of all the claims on file in the Pension Office if
they had several thousand years to do it in.
Has it ever occurred to MI. Beck what strong
argument might be made on this point in favor
of cutting down Commissioner DudIey's force?

The Cloud i'm the East.

Although the cloud in the financial horizon of
Europe seems at this distance no bigger than a
mans hand it may yet obscure our own heavens
and bring us bad weather. There is no denying
that the money centres of the Old World have
been seriously affected by the collapse of the
Union Generate Bank and the consequent panic
on the Paris Bourse
The Bank of England has advanced its rate
of discount to per cent, point approached
but once or twice during the last decade, and
still the drain of gold from her Golfers continues
During January S16OO0OOO was withdrawn
from her vaults. Her example has been fol-
lowed, too, by the leading Continental banks
and reports come thick and fast of mercantile
failures and the suicide of ruined merchants
and brokers. The failure of the Union Generate
alone has reduced hundreds, if not thousands,
of French families to poverty, and among the
victims are many scions of nobility. Even the
Count de Chambord is said to be victim So
far the cable has furnished US with but meagre
accounts of the causes and effects of the col
lapse, but there seems to be no longer any doubt
that the fall of the Union Generate was due to
gigantic frauds on the part of NJ Bontou, the
bank
AS yet the effects of the disaster on this side
of the water have been felt only on the stock
exchanges, where prices have been somewhat
extent of several millions for foreign account
There is, however, an unpleasant possibility that
the necessities of the European markets may
compel a wholesale unloading of American
securities, in which event we should suffer
seriously. 1t is among the unfavorable features
of the situation that the condition of business
in the United Kingdom at the present time
is not such as to warrant the assurance that it
would survive any special strain. The troubles
in Ireland are at last having bad effect on
general trade. The inability Of the landlords,
out of their power to settle with the shop
keepers, and many heavy failures have occurred
among the latter since the first of the year.
However, if the spirit of speculation, which
seems to have once more got possession of the
country, does not outrun all discretion, we shall
probably weather any storm which foreign
complications may precipitate upon us. There
is much greater occasion for alarm in the fact
that so much of our capital is being locked up
in new railroads and enterprises that cannot be
expected to pay dividends for some time to
come, and then only under the most favorable
circumstances.
If next seasons crops should be up to the
average, the resources of the country will proba-
bly, be equal to all demands upon them, but bad
harvest might be attended with unpleasant conse-
quences. How much depends upon this, is
Just now torcibly illustrated in the South,
where the shortage in the cotton crop has
involved many merchants in serious financial
embarrassments according to the reports of the
commercial agencies. In a word, this seems to
us to be good time for the prudent mariner
to make everything snug and tight on deck,
whether the clouds in the horizon contain but
a cap full of wind or portend a genuine cyclone.

SENATOR Beck's theory seems to be that the
mere fact that soldier applies to the Govern

certainly would be swindler if he applied for
