TIE MAGAZINES.

Peterso3ls for January, 1884, reaches us very
early this month, and is altogether a superb
number. The frontispiece is steel engraving
from a picture by Millais entitled a In the
Orchard . this is followed by a double page
colored fashion plate and another exquisite
engraving, called q Lost in the Alps" Its lit
erary contents includes two new noyelets-
:" Her Season in Washington" by Mrs Ann s.
Stephens, and another by the celebrated
author of Second Life" several charming
love stories and all the latest fashion news
making up one of the best numbers yet issued
of this popular ladies' periodical. A costly col
ored pattern for a curtain bordering is pre-
sented as New Years gift with this number
Di0 Learis's Monthly for December presents an
excellent portrait of the eminent DIR. Nj. L.
Hoibrook and very concise and able paper on
Hygiene OF the Brain from his pen. DR.. Lewis
himself has been very industrious this month.
and takes us to task in an editorial called
'sihat Far Away Look, in which he tells us
that there is a strong tendency among US to
dodge all practical vital questions which press
close around US. and give ourselves, in an indo-
lent spirit, TO dreaming about the distant and
unimportant,' From the same pen we have
very interesting and clearly written article
on the Brain and Nerves, illustrated with the
same cuts that adorned the work of Bastian on
the same subject lately published by Messrs.
Appleton: a charming little story, translated
from the German, called Maria, I" Camp Life
in California" Observations in Natural His
tory by NJ. E. Lazarus, an amusing sketch OF
"Ah Wing chapter on Sanitary Science, the
fashions, and some very interesting Christmas
| skeches of special interest at this season.

frugal patriots who swell with parsimonious
indignation when it is proposed to pay the
sum due our ex-soldierE, expresses the con-
tempt-as whitening as sand blast-in
which this country will yet hold the stay
at-homes and ingrates who now seek to
SANDER and dishonor the soldier.
But the point, perhaps, which viii most
forcibly impress our veterans is that which
he makes against the practice of the Pension
Office in the matter of requiring from pen
sion applicants, even where there is no
adverse record. proof Of their soundness on
entering the service, in the face Of the fact
that soundness was ono of the conditions
prescribed by the Government for admission
to its service, and was enforced by medical
examination of the most searching character.
By its action in admitting to its service
only these whe, upon an examination con-
Quoted by its own officers, were found to be

forever estopped from going behind the
record.
1t win be noticed, also, that Senator
ingalls, is neither deceived nor dismayed by
the hue and cry of the secular press against
pensions He rightly attributes this hue and
cry to the bloated capitalists who control the
so-called leading newspapers of the day and
seek through the influence which they exert
to corrupt and prejudice, for their OWE selfish
interests, the sentiment of the country. Far
reaching as their pernicious influence has
been, it has not yet served TO undermine
the patriotism of the people at large, and
the day is at hand when a popular uprising
of loyal citizens everywhere will compe
the hi1eling press to withdraw its slanden
and recognize the rights of the soldier a
equal with those of the bondhonder.

Another clergyman, residing in Massael.u-

gives the following statement Of benefits re-
eeiyed:
II have now used your Oxygen Treatment
three months and will state results. After
had used it six weeks my Catarrh was much

THE publication of the number of engage
ments, in which losses occurred, partici-
pated in by cavalry regiments from the
different States, has called out quite number
of communications. We compiled the list from
what we supposed at the time to be an anthem
tic source. but whose accuracy we now have
reason to doubt
isreally. however, matter of littiemoment,
when it is considered that many regiments who
could lay claim to not over dozen engagements
were almost annihilated in those in WEIGH they
participated. We always welcome criticism.
Now is the time and this the opportunity to
correct history, but we advise those who write
for THE TRIBUNE to be careful as to their facts
for among lis readers are many astute military
critics who have learned the art of war in the
school Of experience.

ACCORDING to statement made by the
st. Louis Globe Democrat, certain prominent
parties in Texas are shortly to begin suit in
the Court of Claims, in this city, to recover
The value Of slaves emancipated during the
war, and viii base their claim, it is said,
upon certain clauses of the State constitu-
ton which were approved and Endorsed by
Congress at the time of the annexation of
Texas. 1t appears that there are still some
people in the country who do not believe that
the war settled anything.
