A Reminiscence of the Milwaukee Fire.

Mr.. William E. Cramer, of Milwaukee, Wis,
one of the severely injured guests of the New
hall House, has dictated letter to his brother
in Albany, in which he says: Your letter
fioated into our sick ROOM as it were, like deli
cious incense amid our intense suffering. Hattie
and i are both cruelty burned, she a little more
sorely than l. She led me through the horrible
flame like Shadrach who passed before Nebu-
chadnezZar. Yet there was not only the smell
of fire upon our garments, but all over our
bodies. We have now passed seventeen days
of intense suffering, and, our physicians say,
are slowly mending. / feel our losses severely,
not SO much in the amount lit will probably be
$4,000 above the insurance) but in the loss of
all our beautiful books; for Hattie had gath
cred precious library of maps, photographs,
and rare pictures we had collected in Europe
and Mexico; her much loved diamonds, every
shred of clothing, and every precious memento
and memorial of the past, even to her wedding
ring. So there is nothing left to US but the love
of our kinsmen and our friends who have all
been so very good-so very good. AS l left the
Newhall House on that dreadful night, some
how thought: Naked came into the world
and naked go / out again Now, dear brother,
do not render yourself anxious. We have two
of the best physicians and two holy Sisters wait
on us, nurses night and day, and our kinsmen
here could not be more loving or more atfec-
tionate. This is the only letter that have
dictated, and you may show it to whom your
heart desires"

THE MAGAZINES.

The March issue of DemOresfs Monthly MdgG-
zine will be found by its readers to be an unu-
sually interesting number. The frOntispieee
Is steel engraving, prepared expressly for
the magazine from a painting by T. Metz
macher entitled "Willing," and worthy of
preservation. A spirited etching, Departure
for the Fantasia" follows it. The number also
contains an etching representing Roman Din
ner, and forty-six other illustrations. The
opening story is Jeletza, Servian tale, told IN
verse by Joel Benton. Next comes four chap
ters of Mrs. Alexander's serial, 1.-The Admit
rails Ward" which, like her other romances, Is
of absorbing interest. Numerous papers on
various topics follow, all of which are both in
structive and entertaining. Jennie June dis
courses pleasantly on "How we live in New
York; Co operative Housewifery by Four
Girls" The editorial departments are up to
their usual high standard-the one which treats
of the fashions will be found especially inter-
esting to the ladies.
Psterson's for March opens with paper enti-
tied "a Century of Female Novelists," by En-
lily J. Macintosh, in which Jane Austen, the
Porter sisters, Mrs. Inchbald, the Hon. Mrs.
Norton, Charlotte Bronte George Eliot and
others are sketched in a bright and readable
way Following this article comes "a Noctur-
nal Messenger" My Sisters Friend" " For
get-Me-Not," Rule or Ruin, Maud's Tempta-
tion," and other short stories by popular wri-
ters. Frank Lee Benedict's novel, The Pro-
fessiOnal Beauty" is continued and gains IN
interest. The number also contains its COM
plement of poetry. AS PeterSOR's is essentially
ladies' magazine, the subject of dress is fully
treated of and the illustrations in this depart
ment are very elegant. Altogether the issue
for March leaves nothing to be desired.

AFTER MANY YEARS.
An Affecting Meeting between Soldier and His
Preseryer.
TFTom the ". ]. Herald

From the ". ]. Herald.
During the fighting that preceded the sur
render at Appomattox the cavalry on both
sides were very actively employed. While
directing some movements OF his command at
the front Major General Fitz- Hugh Lee and his
staff were often exposed to heavy fire. One oi
the last shots fired found its way into the breast
of Captain Charles Minnigerode, of Gen. Lees
staff. Captain Minnigerode fell from his horse
apparently dead. There was no time to care
for his body, but Fitz-Hugh Lee, dismounting,
pinned on his breast the following note:
This is the body of Captain Charles Minnigerode
of General Fitz-Hugh Lees staff. Whoever finds
properly cared for, and sending information TO his
father at Richmond. FITZ-HUGH LEE
The lines of combat shifted, and presently
a New York regiment passed over the ground.
The surgeon noticed the body of the Confed-
crate officer, and, stopping over it, saw the note
and also that the man was not dead Taking
up the body in his arms, the Union surgeon,
who was powerfully built man, carried it
about third of mile to a field hospital
Here he gave his young charge special attention
and noted with satisfaction a gradual improve
ment Captain Minnigerode recovered, and
after the war went to New Orleans. The surgeon
returned to New York and renewed the prac-
tice of medicine at Poughkeepsie.
On Thursday evening General Lee, now an
officer of the Virginia Volunteers National
Guard), accompanied by party of officers OF
the Thirteenth, was in box at the Casino,
witnessing the performance of the Queens
Lace Handkerchief" There were present in
General Lees box Colonel Austin, of the Thir-
teenth New York; Colonel Wertaubaker of the
Third Virginia; Colonel John A. McCaull
Quartermaster Ackerman, of the Thirteenth,
and Captain Minnigerode, who, being on visit
to New York had been invited to accompany
his old commander to the theatre. An usher
entered and told the Captain that gentleman
wished to speak with him. The gentleman
came in and Captain Minnigerode went to the
rear of the box to meet him.
=" You do not remember me?" said the
stranger.
"There is something about your face, sir,
that tells me do know you," replied the Cap
tain.
"You were left for dead on the field of APP
pomattox and"
II" Yes, yes" hurriedly broke in Minnegerode,
light of recognition stealing over his express
i've face.
II am DIR. Carter"
"My God, sir you are the man who saved
my life"
The two men fairly hugged each other for a
moment, and then the Captain, turning to Gen
eral Lee, said:
General, this gentleman saved my life, un-
doubtedly." AS General Lee greeted the doc
tor the latter said, smilingly:
g Yes, sir; / took the bullet out"
"And here is the bullet" said Minnegerode,
taking it out of his pocket and holding it up
between his thumb and forefinger.
For few moments the rich costumes and
pretty women on the stage were forgotten, and
the little group of officers gazed instead on the
two characters who had just reached a happy
climax in the drama of life.

question was on the motion TO reconsider the
vote by which the duty on green and colored
glass bottles, vials, demijohns, &c, not cut.
engraved or painted. and not specially provided
for, was changed from so per cent. Gd rdiOrem
to 1t cents per pound. The motion was agreed
TO.
Mr.. Sewell On. j. moved to make the duty
one cent per pound.
Mr.. Beck (Ky.) denounced this attempt to
place an enormous tax on every little jug and
bottle and preserve jar used in the country at
the demand of little squad of men who asked
for it on the pretext of protecting American
labor, but really for the purpose of enriching
themselves
Mr.. Sewell said that the glass manufacturers
in New Jersey had not made any money for
the last fifteen years.
Mr.. Mcpherson, IN. J.,) in advocating Mr.
SewelPs amendment, remarked that whenever
any question was raised touching the liquor in
terest the Senator from Kentucky Mr. Beck
at once sprang to his feet. When whisky was
touched the Senator from Kentucky was
touched.
Mr.. Logan Ill.) said that the German bottle
makers had had an agent here all winter try
to have bottles put on the free list.
Mr.. Beck, discussing the tax on whisky and
his alleged interest in it, said he had never in
his life owned more than barrel of whisky at
one time. Laughter.l
The motion to make the duty on bottles of
the class described one cent per pound was lost,
leaving the rate 80 per cent. ad rdlOrem.

DEAR SIR: Your letter received We note tn
you intend to discontinue the Tribune because it,
eriticses the pension legislation of Congress. 1t s
pity to lose old friend, and although the busi-
ness Office has little time to answer letters OF this
sort, want to say one word in reply to you. The
honest soldiers of the country have been generally
thought to be unfavorable 10 some of the bad fea-
lures of the pension legislation The Tribune be-
lieves in paying pensions the genuine volunteers
and veterans; but when it comes to paying PEN
sions to that don't deserve ii, and getting up
schemes to make pension agents rich, thst is quite
another thing. You viii never see the n. Y. Trib-
stDe go back on the real soldier, who fought the
successful war for the Union. We do not mean to
strike one blow at those men.

Post the Pensioners Conspicuo,GsEl
from the n. Tribune.l

There lis 3 whispered belief-whether well or
ill-founded-that a considerable proportion of our
great pension list is fraudulent; that names have
been added to it by thousands in consequence of
the energetic course of agents whose fees stmu-
lated their efforts. To determine the truth or
faisity of these repeated charges might it not be
well to authorize annually or semi-annually the
public exhibition of the list of pensioners the
rolls of each agency-the names to be eonspicu-
ously posted in the counties and towns where the
pensioners reside?
The National tribune., 1883-02-22

The motion to suspend the rules and pass
the bill was defeated-yeas 162, nays 97-not
the necessary two-thlrds.
TUESDAYS PROCEEDINGS.
In the House on Tuesday, the Goth inst, Mr..
Henderson, Ill., from the Committee on Mill
tary Affairs, reported a resolution calling on
the Secretary OF War for information as to
West Point cadets. Adopted.
Mr. Bingham, Penn, by unanimous consent,
offered Joint resolution authorizing Major
VIM. Ludlow corps of engineers, to accept the
position of chief engineer of the water depart
ment of Philadelphia and giving him leave of
absence for two years without pay. Passed.
Mr. Cox. IN. " by unanimous consent,
offered a Joint resolution accepting for Congress
the invitation of the regents of the Sm;thSon-
ian Institution to attend the ceremony of in
augurating the bronze statue of Prof. Joseph
Henry on April 10Th next, and providing for
the attendance of seven Senators and fifteen
Members to represent Congress Passed.
Mr.. Hiseock, IN. W chairman of the Ap-
preparations Committee moved TO go into Conn.,
mittee of the Whole on sundry civil appropria-
tiOn bill. In reply to q question by Mr..
Kelley, he expressed the opinion that the bill
would not occupy more than two or three
days; and said that it would be followed by the
deficiency bill.
Mr.. Calkins, Ind chairman of the Elec-
tions Committee, gave notice that he would (as
soon as the Sundry civil Dill was disposed OF
ask action on the various election cases now on
the calendar.
Mr. Kelley, Pa said that recognizing the
Importance of the passage of the appropriation
bills in time for action by the Senate, he would
not antagonize them; but as soon as they
were disposed of he would again press the con-
sideration of the tariff bill, in the hope Of
reaching result.
The House then went into Committee of the
Whole, Mr.. Kasson, (Ia-,) in the chair, on the
sundry civil appropriation bill. General de-
bate was dispensed with, and the bill was
read by paragraphs for amendment.

WHAT THE ". Y. TRIBUNE ACTUALLY SAID.
From the Ny. Tribune.l

From the N Y. Tribunel
One OF the most disgraceful acts of Congress- 81
its last session, its refusal to take any steps
whatever to guard the Treasury against the enor-
nous frauds to which the pension-arrears acs
opened the door. If there are Republican menu
bers who wish to regain public confidence for their
party of their earliest and most earnest efforts
oughly examined, and restrictions placed upon
payment until such examination has been made.
1t is thingto pay 81 600 OO0O year to honest
deserving and actually disabled soldiers and very
different thing pay half that to claim agents,
many of whom make more money by swindlfns
than any soldier ever did by fighting.
