AN EARNEST APPEAL TO CONGRESS.

To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
/ appeal to our Representatives and Senators
in behalf of myself and thousands of others.
There are thousands of soldiers and soldiers
widows who have been waiting from year to
year for the settlement of their claims, and
they are still neglected for the want Of sufi-
cient help in the Pension Office. Mr.. Dudley
has made frequent calls for Congress TO appro-
pirate money to hire sufficient help In the Pen
sion Bureau, but his request has not yet been
granted. While there have been bills passed
to appropriate thousands of dollars for other
purposes the soldiers and their widows, thou
sands of them, are still waiting for their money,
while the bondholder is promptly paid. If our
Congressman had to wait six months for their
pay l think there would be lots of kicking.
They would soon get bill through to get their
pay if the passing of a bill would get their
money. ! am now sixty years old, and the
Government can't expect to have to help sup
port me very many years at the farthest. l
think every just claim ought to be settled as
soon as possible go the disabled soldiers and
their widows can live without begging their
way through the world.

CAPTURED by OUR MANLY COURSE.

To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
Although am, rs it were, recruit in the G.
A. R., vet I have been captured by the manly
course taken by you in the interest of the pen
sio1crs of the late struggle for the life of the
Nation, and hope you will continue to deal
sIedge-hammcr blows until all our wrongs are
made right, and until Congress shall learn that
those who preserved that life have rights above
all others. o. 2. Morton Post No. 81, G. a. f.,
was organized in March last, and~has-had
good, healthy growth. We started with few
charter members, but on Memorial Day we met
at 10 o'clock a. m, for the first time in public,
with fifty members, all tried and true soldiers,
for the purpose of decorating the graves of our
dead companions in arms. The ceremonies were
very interesting. Enclosed please find 81 for
subscription. Shall send more as soon as am
able to get out to solicit.
Yours, fraternally, for the right,

THE SILK HAT AND KID GLOVE BRIGADE.
To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
All comrades must keep an eye on those gen.
tlcmen of the silk hat and kid glove brigade
who we have sent to Congress- and if they don't
throw their whole force against the enemy's
center, and help the old boys, next time we go
to the ballot-box VIC will draw bead on them.
With THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE beating the
ong-roll, let every man step into the ranks
and help himself and others. With many of
our old comrades it is a continual struggle to
support their families and keep soul and body
together, and the Government they have done
q good deal for should now do a little for them.
Every ex-soldier should have THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE, and if any are too poor to take it
they ought to be furnished the paper by Others.

THE BOYS" WHO ARE MISSING.


To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
l am a subscriber to your interesting and
valuable paper and l will here say in all cam
dor that it is doing more to secure the proper
legislation in Congress in behalf of the exsoldier
than any publication in the United States.
Legislation is called for in regard to the SOL
diers who were missing at the close of the war,
and who have never made their appearance
among friends or relatives. Up to the present
time / think they should be regarded as num-
bered with the dead. There is one case of this
character in which l am acquainted with the
family. The soldier was q young man whose
father was in the Federal service in different
ii of the army. The boy enlisted in 1861,
ither in 1862. The boy served three years
. e-enlisted and of course would have been
led to vet. bounty. He was some time
re-enlisting placed on picket line-piekets
all day-and was missing, and reported
is captain deserted" He has naver since
heard of, and the charge of desertion re-
IS, unrcmoved. His father is now dead.
old and feeble mother is living, and should
i've the bounty. GRAFTON 2. SCOTT.

An Ancient City.

The discovery of a deserted city,
sixty miles long, cut out of the face of
q winding cliff rewarded the efforts of
the Stephenson Smithsonian Institute
exploring party, during its researches
through New Mexico and Arizona, the
past season. This is by far the n ost
important find yet made among the an
cient haunts of the cliff dwellers. Some
of the houses contain four and five
dwellings, one on top of the other, and
on the plateau above the cliff we're
found many ruins of temples of wor-
ship, built of well-cut, square stones.
A comparison of the collection of pot
terry and of various implements gath
cred in the cliff houses by the explor-
ing party with those obtained in the Pu-
eblo villages strengthens the theory
that the Pueblo Indians are the deeen-
crate descendants of the once very
powerful race that built the ruined cit
les of the plains, and then receding be-
fore some more wsrlike foe, carved out
those singular dwellings on the walls of
dizzy precipices, and found in them, il
may be for centuries, both fortresses and
homes. Perhaps the hieroglyphic de-
scnptions seen by Mr.. Stephenson will
one day be deciphered and found to
contain the tragic history of the vast
ing away by wars ald famines Of this
Inflated people, who, like the comics OF
the Bible, made the rocks their refuge.
