 Bu, he was mistaken. The Virgin had commanded, and Hildesarde would obey. She went to Herr Heartless and told her ssoy. But he said, coldly:
 am very poor, my child, and books are nothing to me, wish you well but shall not come.'
 When Hildegarde was gone he chuckled and said:
 How my fool. of a soft-heared brother would rage if he knew how cun- ningiy have saved his pocket. How he would have flown to the old mans res- cue! But the girl won't venture near him now" \

lFron IoAa S~iasoas Paper.l

lFron Ioha S~insons Paper.l
 There is one astounding incident never yet told of the 6nsncial operations Of the two Grant brothers, the truth of which Is assured by incontrovertible testimony. General Grant, as all the world used to know, had bresher Orville, and it vas in Orviile leather store in Galena that Ulysses vas employed at the outbreak of the var. When the man to whom Or vile once paid his weekly wages became president in Washington, Orille tried in many ways to feather his nest through political jobbey. There were numerous gross scandals grew out of these lo,s, as everybody who read the newspapers al that time will recall, and the tracing ct the scandals in which Oville was part ner always lead strAish, to the White House.
 General Grant vas reelected for his second term, which began in march 1875. Orville then toox part in scheme more ambitious and more startling than any he had ever before got hold o(-a scheme that involved nothing less than the sell ing out of the United States government for private profit. He came to this city ooo 1Ookut Vut VoG O4 uSS OAQ onsSoo friends, through whom he procured an introduction to party whom he believed to be able to render him the peculiar seT- vice he required. Orille Grant vas anxious te enter into negotiations with ex- Governor E. D. Morgan, the great banker of Wall street. and 90 pressing vas he in his appeals that means were taken to bring about a meeting between them. To reduce the transaction to short terms, 1t turned out that Orville sought to know whether in case President Grant should nominate Governor Morgan to the office of secretary of the treasury at the opening of his then approaching second term. he (Morgan) would enter into stipulation 10 appoint Orviiie Grant as financial agent of the United States government in Europe, or else give him control of the government transactions in bonds and other financial business in this city. the latter, perhaps, preferable. as these rans- actions were large and profitable. Orille had gwen his introdueer to undcrstand that Morgan would have the treasury these were the conditions that he sought to attach to its acceptance. lfOrville did not speak with authority 1t is certain that he spoke with assurance. Suffice 1t to say that Governor Morgan listened to the astounding proposition with surprise. and that he answered the president brother in sueh-a way as to bring the negotiations al once to an end.

THE CONGO COUNTRY.
Position of Germany Regarding the Scope
Of the Conference.

In October Count Won Munster, Ger
man ambassador, wrote to Earl Granville,
saying that Germany would advocate
policy giving assurance to the merchants
Of all countries that no impost or transit
dues should be levied upon goods entering
Congo, but only moderate imposts, sutti.
cient to supply money for administrative
needs. Germany, he said further, shared
Granville's desire to secure tn. fullest Tree
dom for navigation and commerce, not
only on the Niger and Congo, but on the
other African rivers as we'll. 1t advocated
the adoption of principles similar to those
used in the regulation of traffic ON the
Elbc and Danube. The conference while
giving expression 10 those principle, would
leave to later negotiations the formation of
an international body whose duty it would
be TO overcome obstacles to navigation and
provide police ordinances. In future occu.
pations of African territory Germany S
duty would BIZ to insure the application OF
the principle laid down by Judges and
iurists of all lands, including those OF Eng.
land. Granville, in his answer to this note
expressed himself perfectly satisfied with,
he suggested scope OF the conference.

The Pay Of tbe BucktaIls.

To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
In your issue of May Comrade G. L. Eber-
hart has more 70 say about the Bucktails 18th
P. z. V. c. The comrade some time ago
stated that the Pennsylvania Reserves were
mustered into the United States service at
Washington, ID. C. / claimed, and still claim,
that we never were mustered for our first
three years in the United States service. and
say, too, that my regiment never was at Wash
ingfon, except af;er their time was out In
April 1851, Captain Kane recruited about forty
men in Elk county, Pa, (the writer among
them) for three years. When we got to Camp
Curtin we were mustered for three years. SUBJ
ject to the call Of the President The comrade
is in error himself. Captain Kane recruited
about 300 in Potter. Mexican, Elk and Mifiiin.
We made him major when we got to Camp
Curtin, and he was afterwards made colonel
His orders from Governor Curtin were, "Get
one hundred men /" but, like the war governor,
be got all the men lie could. There were more
recruited after that The men who did not, I
say, get pay for service were companies g, ],
x, and II. The four companies were under
Colonel Kane at New Creek, w. Va, when
the State paymaster paid the 9Th Re-
serves and the balance OF the Bucktails at
Colonel Wallace's camp, at Cumberland. Tho
paymaster thought il might be too hot for him
to come 10 our camp. 1t is true that VIC were
under General Scott after we left Camp Mason
and until we got back to Harrisburg, and after
we left for Banks division we were in the
United States service, but we had not been
turned over before, and know we mover were
mustered, except as a State reserve, subject 10
need Of men at Washington. The back pay OF
tho State ran from twenty-five days to forty
six days The comrades memory is certainly
st fault. We were in three States in one day,
and yet only in the State service. Now if the
comTade viii post the boys as to how they can
get the back pay, We will thank him.

/ have just read your remarks in the May
number, headed Only an Ordinary Liar" in
regard TO Libby and Belle Isle prisons It was
on Belle Isle that our command-the 10th
Illinois cavalry, captured at JonesviIle, Va,
January 3, l664-frst tasted misery. The reb-
els put US on there the 18th day of January,
1864, without tent or blanket. Not one
third Of us had overcoats, no FIRE, and it was
so cold that the James River froze over three
times while we were there. For days ration
we had chunk of corn bread, the size of one
third of brick. and pint of bean or pea soup,
reduced TO a wonderful thinness, with more
bugs than peas ST beans.
We had not been there week before our
boys began 10 die, and one day, while looking
over towards the hospital or dead tent, saw a
hog running Of with the head of one OF our
men. We were so crowded that il was hard
getting around. The only way TO keep
from freezing to death was te form in rings
and walk or run around. Owing to the con-
ditiOn OF the weather, this was kept up day
and night. When one had become sufficiently
warm or tired out he would drop down any
where and 20 TO sleep, only TO dream Of home,
with the table loaded with good things TO eat.
Many time have j awakened in the act of
chewing my coat-sleeye, with the pitiless rain
or sleet pelting me 10 the very skin. For
those who were sick death was almost certain.
