What the Funny Fellows are Saying in the News

The waning of the honeymoon Alfred, who
came home very late last night from a bache-
lors' dinner and has been catching it" this
morning: q had most horrible dream last
night" Arabella (sarcastically): Did yOU in
deed? How surprising." Alfred: " Did wakeup
with a scream or anything OF. that sort?" Ara
bella: "NO; perhaps you had eaten so much
you couldn't What was your nightmare
Alfred: :" dreamed l was bachelor again
Life.
An old acquaintance: James c., genial
son of Erin, is fond of shooting. One day
hawk aIighted near the house, and his son took
the gun, crawled within gunshOt, fired and
missed. =" Why didn't We kill the howck?"
queried the father. The guns no good"
answered the junior James. Yer a liar.
Jamesie, it's yeW that's no good. We can't
tell me anything about that gun. Sure I've
known her since she was Il pishtol. "-FOreSt

Two strings to his bow: A musical man, &C
cOmpanied by "a hand organ and child, has been
giving street performances for the past week on
the streets of Austin. After he had twisted
one of the Beethoven substituting symphonies
out of the instrument of torture, the artist
sent the child among the crowd. 4 legislator,
who had Just voted on the fixing of the per
diem of the members, disgOrged nickel. Il

everything that was in it. including me family,

day, sor" The merchant to whom this appeal
was addressed, while very phiIanthropic, is
also very cautious. so he asked: Have you
any papers or certificate to show that you lost
anything by the fire." " 1 did have a certif-
cate, sor, signed before a notary public to that
effect, but it was burned up sor in the house

The National tribune. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1877-1917, 1883-02-01

On another page will be found some ex-
tracts from the letters of our subscribers
which exhibit pretty clearly the contempt
which our ex-soldiers feel for the news
papers that are now seeking to defame them.
They have not forgotten that twenty years
ago these same newspapers were filed with
praises of their valor and little did they
then think that within their generation
these praises would turn to sneers and taunts
and downright SANDER. They have not for
gotten that while they were facing danger
and death in the field, enduring with forti-
tude the hardships of the camp and the
march, languishirg in hospitals, Tacked with
pain and disease starving in Southern prison
pens, undergoing everywhere countless pri-
vations, and making sacrifices that seemed
endless to preserve the Union, the men
who now denounce them were enjoying a
luxurious ease at home or had cowardly fled
the country and left it to its fate They
have forgotten none of these things, and they
would be less than human did they not feel
an intense and profound contempt for such
miserable wretches; nor can any patriotic
citizen, we feel sure, read their letters with
out sharing their honest Indignation, for in
the persons of these crippled heroes the
honor of the whole Nation has been outraged
When this cruel hue and cry shall have died
away the fame of our veterans will shine
with undiminished lustre; the shame and
disgrace Of it all Will have become the por-
4inn of the Rennhlic itself
The National tribune. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1877-1917, 1883-02-01
All a MIDDLE.

The Forty-dollar bill has at last been
reported to the Senate-adverseIy. The
result cannot he called unexpected, for 1t
was clearly foreshadowed in the interviews
which TIE TRIBUNE recently published
with members of the Pension Committee,
but it is none the less disappointing. The
Democratic members Of the committee, as
then stated were unanimously opposed to
the measure, and although they were
minority of the whole committee, their re
port, owing to the inability Of the Repub-
lican members to come to any agreement on
the bill, became for this occasion the major
ity report. In another column will ne
found the three minority reports OF the
Republican members with the text of the
two bills proposed rs substitutes for the
original measure, and our subscribers can
draw their own conclusions as TO the reason
ablcncss of each. For ourselves, while we
are not disposed to question for moment
the good intentions Of the three Republican
members of the committee who refused to
unite with Messrs Van WycIl and Mitchell in
recommending the passage Of The original bill,
ard are quite willing to admit that the sub
stitute proposed by DTessrs Blair and Chilcott
is in some respects @ more equitable measure
than the latter, we cannot bat think that they
have made muddle of it. Of course the
Senate can still adopt theEoriginal bill if it
choose, but. with the exception of Mr.. Voor-
hees, every Democratic Senator would be
likely to vote against it, and it would re-
quire nearly unanimous Republican vote
to pass it, which, it is now evident,
could not be had for it. The most that
can be hoped for, therefore, is that one
of the substitutes will be adopted, but as it
will then be necessary to secure the concur
renee of the House, the chances Of any
this session are very slender indeed. We
are not disposed, as we have said, to ques-
ton the motives of the disagreeing members
of the committee, but it does seem as if they
should have given some thought to the effect
which the entire failure of the bill would be
likely to have on the interests of our pen
sioners, before they carried their opposition
to such a length The $40 bill is not, per-
haps, the best measure that could be desired,
but, as it happens, it is the only one whose
passage is practicable at the present stage of
the session, and to let it fail now will entail
great hardship on many thousands of deserv-
ing veterans 1t will be q lasting reproach to
the Republican members of the Senate if
they permit this measure to be killed in
the House of its friends

CoMPADE Bevins, of Post rs, Exeter,
Nebraska, gives it as his experience that
wherever he can secure a reader for The
NATIONAL TRIBUNE he is pretty sure TO
find recruit for the Grand Army. This
simply confirms what we have insisted on

the extension of The TRIBUNE's circulation
would be the buildinGup of the membership
of the Grand Army and the establishment of
new Posts in hundreds, if not thousands, of
places where the Order has hitherto been
unrepresented. During the last week we
have received at this office some fifteen or

of the work which THE TRIBUNE is doing
for our ex-soldiers is to be found in the great
revival of interest in the Grand Army which
is everywhere displayed. The publication
of Grand Army news from every section of
the country has had the effect of stimulating
our comrades to renewed efforts for the adj
vancement of the Order, and nearly every
letter which comes to this Office contains
