EDWARD EVERETT HALE'S STORY.
Mai. SargGnt'S Christmas" /"

The greatest Of American short story
writers is the Rev. Edward Everett Hale,
who came into prominence during the war
as the author of that intensely thrilling
story, =" A Man Without Country" which
electrified the loyal people of the Nation
and placed his fame on sure foundation. He
has written many things since that have Justi-
and maintained the reputation that he
gained then. Everything that comes from
his brilliant pen is eagerly sought for by a
larger circle Of readers than almost any other
writer IN the country can command. We
have secured story from him which will be
published in next weeks issue of THE Ma
TIoNAL TRIBUNE. 1t is entitled Mai.

was from her. He glanced around to be GER

to turn over to the bottom of the last page to
know what name he would find there. He
read those words over and over dozen times
and they set his nerves tingling clear down to
his toe-na;ls ST forgot his aches and blisters
as he read on through those delicious lines.
She wrote how anxious she was to hear from
him and how cruel it was of him not to write
to her real often; how she lay awake nights
thinking about him down among those
awful rebels; how she supposed that by this
time he must be full of bullet holes; and
didn't he get hungry sometimes, and wasn't
it about time for him to get furlough?

and took his place with the detail.
The next morning the army moved early,
and 81 had no chance to resume his letter. As
soon as the regiment halted. after au 13-Uiie
march, he tackled it again. This time nothing
better offered in the way of a writing desk than

upon his knee. Thus provided, 81 plunged
briskly into the job before him, with the iol-

SECRETARY LAMAR ON PENSIONS

Hon. L. Q. c. Lamar, the Secretary of the
Interior, in his report speaks very eulogistic-
ally of the pension system, and points out
what many are prone to forget, to wit, the
great disparity between the amount paid as
interest on the public debt and that paid
out as pensions. He concludes:
So long the premium paid to those who con-
tributed the money exceeds that paid to the de-
tenders of the country, the complaint of excessive
pensions is not well founded.
Coming from a man who valiantly re-
sisted the Union soldiers on the field of bat
tie, this is generous and honorable, as well
as the statement of great truth.
The National tribune., 1885-12-10
THE VAIL OF THE DUDE.


The following appeared in the Record-a
paper started about year ago to represent
the "culchah" of the "uppah clahses" OF
Boston:
Over $40, 900 was allowed for pensions during
the month of November. This is more than double
the entire ordinary expenses of the National Gov
ernment per month before the war; Is 1t not time
to call a halt in taxation of the people?
When years ago the men to whom this
money was paid were expending blood and
health and youthful days in checking the
disruption of the Government and the de-
struction of the property of the men whom
the Record claims to represent, there was
no thought of calling halt" Not
at all. Those "uppah clahses" then
were mainly anxious lest not enough
blood be expended to drown the rebellion.
They did not think of calling a halt u after
1000 brave men lay dead or dying on the
muddy slopes of Marye's Hights They did
not mention word about halt being de-
sirable when 10000 men filled graves and
hospitals at Gettysburg. There was no sug-
gestion of "a halt" when 10000 slaugh-
tered or mainred men marked the bloody
trail of the Army of the Potomac from the
Wilderness to Petersburg Not for moment.
1t was "Go on, brave boys; do your duty.
If you're hurt Well take good care of you.
If you're killed your widows and orphans
shall be well provided for. Don't halt, for
Gods sake, until you've stamped the life out
Of this awful rebellion"
But when it comes to taxing the cigars,
fine wines. silks, imported laces, fine robes,
beer and whisky of these gentry to keep
starvation from the door of the men who
gave everything to protect these "uppah
clahses " and their property, then they want
to call halt"
