FARM AND FRUIT.
PRESERVING TIME.

PRESERVING TIME.
Said Mr. Baldwin Apple
To Mrs. Bartlett Pear,
. You're growing very plump, madam,
And also very fair.
% And there is Mrs. Clingstone Peach.
So mellowed by the heat,
Upon my word she really looks
Quite good enough to eat
And all the Misses Crabapples
Have blushed so rosy red
That very soon the farmers wife
To pluck them will be led.
81 Just see the Isabellasl
They're growing SO apace
That they really are beginning
To get purple in the face.
Our happy time is over,
For Mrs. Green Gage Plum
Says she knows unto her sorrow
Preserying-time has come"
- Yes" said Mrs. Bartlett Pear,
Our day is almost DER,
And soon we shall be smotherfng
In syrup by the score
And before the month was ended
The fruits that looked so fair
Had vanished among the leaves,
And the trees were stripped and bare
They were all of them in pickle,
Or in some dreadful scrape:
I'm ciderl" sighed the Apple,
- I'm jelly" cried the Grape.
They were all in jars and bottles,
Upon the shelf arrayed,
And in their midst poor Mrs. Ounce
Was turned to marmalade.

MONEY VEGETATIoN.-It seems odd to
think Of well-flled purse as plant-feld,
but such it appears to be. A short time
since Paul Reinsch discovered several
kinds of minute plants-including two
algae which had before been unknown
growing upon coins after having been long
enough in circulation to receive thin in
crustations of organic matter. A Hun
garian botanist, Jules Schaar smidt, has
more recently been examining paper
money, and has found the microscopic
growths upon even the cleanest speci mems.
He has detected seven species. includ ing
although they are rare-the two new algae
described by Reinsch.-[ Exchange.

Since the orcning Of the campaign e life Of
Gen. Logan has been published by Mr- Buell.,
Of St. Louis. and placed OF sale. The publica-
ton is inaccurate in many particulars.
The only authentic and truthful history Of
Gen. Logans military career is that which win
be found ID the " Life Of Logan" prepared by
3Ir. George =. Dawson, who has had access to
ali Gen Logan's personal memoranda and
papers. This splendid work, which wiz be
handsomely bound in cloth, and On the csver
OF which wiz be reproduced in colors the flag
OF the old Fifteenth Corps, which Gen. Logan
commanded, is now in press. and copies viii
probably Dc ready for distribution towards the
latter part of this week.
The fact that Gen. Logan himself has care
fully revised the manuscript is an assurance
that Il vii be Trustworthy in every particular,
and it is tie only authorized life Of Cen Logan
that viii be Published. The book win contain
600 pages, illustrated with fine engraving Of
Gen. Logan, and win be sent to any address in
the United States and Canada, postage prepaid,
On receipt Of s.. Comrades who wish to secure

THE subcommittee Of the House Committee
on Military Affairs (Gen- w. s. Rosecrans,
Chairman) wiz leave Washington on the 9th
inst, to begin the investigation, authorized at
the last session of Congress- into the manage
ment OF the National Homes for Disabled Vol
unteer Soldiers. Col. G. G. Knifin, of the Ad-
jutant Generals Office, has been appointed ex-
pert examiner.of books and deputy sergeant
alarms. Gen. Rosecrans announces his inten-
ton to make the investigation thorough and
searching, in order that if any defects exist IN
the administration of these Homes the proper
remedies may hereafter be applied by Congress.
Weyenture the hope that this investigation
viii settle the question once and for all, as to
whether the charges so frequently brought
against the management of the Milwaukee
Dayton, and Bath Homes, as TO cruelty and
harsh treatment, are well founded.

DEATH OF GEN. NELSON.

In the roll of Major Generals who died dur
umns Maj.-Gen. Nelson was marked as muir
dered." To those who have written Us upon
the subject we would say that the list was fur
nished by the War Department and was printed
precisely as it came from that Office. The COM
piler of the LIST thus succincty gives his reasons
for SO eharacterizing the death of Gen. Nelson !:
" Two men quarreled and separated. One
walked away to his room, then turned and
walked towards stairway, when he was shot
by the other party to the quarrel, who had bor-
rowed a pistol for the purpose. If this was not
MURDER what was it,"
We also have to acknowledge the receipt Of
several letters claiming for various Brigadier-
Generals who died subsequent to Aug 1,
1865, place in the list. Among the former
are Col. a. G. Prosser, of the list Pa, and Col.
Frederick Winthrop, Of the 18th N. 7. Among
the latter are Generals Croker and Schimmel-
pfennig, who died Aug. &c and Sept. 7 re-
spectively. Col. E. D. Baker, of the list Pa,
declined appointment as Brigadier- General and
was never commissioned. Col. Joseph B. Howell
of the s1st Pa, wasnot commissioned Brigadier-
General until three months after his death
when his commission was ante-dated 70 Sept
IL, two days prior to his decease. The names
of Brevet-Generals Totten and Taylor " i'll ap-
pear in the list of staff officers soon to be pub
lished. The names of Brevet Brigadier- Gen
erals and those who died in 1865, subsequent
to aug. 1, would increase the list to about 107

exclusion of loyal women who are not actual
relatives of soldiers from the National Order
viii greatly cripple Its power to aid and pro-
mote the interest of the Grand Army to which
it is auxiliary; and Mrs. Barker Is quite right
when she states that It was not the action of
last years convention In leaving the question
of eligibility open that was ga mistake" but
the result of that generosity, since the Loyal
Ladies' League of New Jersey has failed TO
avail itself of it.
The reports speak for themselves, and show
record Of work quite as effective as that ever
done in single year by the Grand Army; in
fact, the Womans Relief Corps. in the first
year of its existence, has sprung almost full
grown into life, and we think the time will
yet come when il will be eo-extensive with the
Grand Army itself
To the noble ladies who have undertaken
this splendid mission we say God speed and
may the Second Annual Convention result in
the firm establishment of the Order On the only
enduring basis-the admission Of all loyal

A DOUBLE CLAIM.

Bismarck actually recommendation one of
the messages from the Throne to the Imperial
Parliament-thae q scheme be formulated for
pensioning the mechanics, artizans, operators
ETC., of the Empire, when they should reach q
certain age or become disabled in the course OF
their employment Startling as this proposition
appears to us in this country, it has long been
seriously considered in Germany and France,
and win no doubt be adopted in some form OF
another before many years.
This is a very substantial support of the argu-
ment we made in last weeks NATIONAL TRIB-
UNE that the 100000 young men who con-
stituted our army from 1861 to 1865 were after
wards the great army OF mechanics, operators
artizans, etc., who built up the enormous in
crease of wealth which has come to our coun-
try since the war. That is, according to the
European way of thinking, these men have g
double claim to pensions-frst as soldiers who
fought through four years of terrible war &c
maintain the Government and won the vic.
tory; and, secondly, rs the men whose skill and
industry has quadrupled the country's richie.

wILFUL FALsEHooD.

Seven hundred millions OF dollars have been
paid In pensions since the war one-fOurth of which
has been frauduientiy obtained from tho Treasury,
according to the testimony Of those who have
charge of the Bnreau.-Rorenna (Ol Democrat
This is one of the stupidly-false statements
that the enemies of the old soldiers delight in
circulating, even though they are perfectly
aware of its falseness. Thers has not been
zoo millions paid pensioners, but only CAB
millions, difference of 81 millions, or mora
than enough to pay all the pensions another
year. But outrageously false is the state
ment that one-fourth of the pensions are fraud
ulent. The united testimony OF the Govern
ment detectives and the experts-all actuated
with desire to find as much fraud as possible
is that not to sreeed onetslth Of one per cent Of
the allowances made are secured through fraud
This plain statement, which has been often
repeated, should at last discourage these per-
sistent liars.

WIGGINs, the alleged astronomer, who
achieved nosOriety by predicting cyclones
that did not cyelate, and storms that never
made schedule time and connections, made an
other bid for public attention, little while
ago, by pretended discovery Of new moon
in attendance upon the earth. This naturally
produced a sensation among gas companies and
young ladies and gentlemen who are accus-
toned to studying astronomy in couples OF
pleasant evenings. Now comes Prof Proctor,
who says very bluntly what most people be-

RESCUE OF THE GREEDY PARTY

Into these piping times of peace-into these
days filed with dreary monotony of sordid
selfseeking, of tales of broken faith, of cruel
wrongs and dishonored men and women, the
story of the Greedy expedition comes like q
pure, sweet breeze into hot and vicious at
mosphere.
1t matters not what we may think of the
wisdom or benefit of polar explorations. De-
cry as we may the senselessness of feeding
fresh victims to the Unsuitable frost fend the
gallantry and the self -forgetfulness of the men
who devoted themselves to the work Is so
precious lesson and example as to be almost
worth the rich cost.
We cannot overestimate the Importance OF
such magnificent exhibition of unselfsh deyo-
ton upon a people about whom the murk and
| miasma of petty ambitions and INSCRIPTIONS
gain-getting seems to become daily thicker and
more debilitating. It is such display of the
nobler qualities of our manhood as we have
rarely had since the close of the war.
Twenty bright capable young men
with everything around them to make Hf,
| pleasant, volunteered for a duty compared
with which the severest campaign in war tins
was agreeable employment. The best tina
they could hope for was three years isolation
| from the world in the bitter rigors of the Arc
tic region, and they must contemplate the mos
| frightfuI sufferings and the death of large
portion of their number as thing almost IN
eyitably TO happen. That they should turn
their backs on all that life had to offer them a
home, to accept such fate as this with neithel
wealth nor personal aggrandizement offered a
an ipducement, is a grand lifting up of on
whole manhood.
Had the object to be gained been worthy o
| al this heroism and self-sacrifce-ha it beer
some grand errand OF mercy or militar.
neeessity-the men who devoted themselve
to it would pass into the galaxy of tn
heroes whom the world delights to honor. s
far as their courage and zeal could ennobl
their work it has been ennobled. No men VIII
ever led forlorn hope, or consecrated them
selves to destruction for the salvation of Others
showed higher urageand elf-abnegation thai
/ these devoted men.
