HEADQUARTERS NOTES.

Necessarily the geanings from National
Headquarters must be very meager for few
weeks. or until the transfer of books and papers
from the Toledo office shall be completed and
the wheels once more get in motion. The Ma
tional President has secured a sunny, cheerful
room in the same building with the office of
our National Treasurer, and we hope i'll few
days to be ready for work, and also to receive
any Of the friends who may favor us with
call. The letters thus far received have been
mostly of a congratulatory character, with kind
wishes for success the coming year. All these
are most encouraging and helpful, and we enter
upon the work before us trusting we may re-
ceive the active cooperation of comrades and
ladies East and West. Let each Department
and Corps strive to Guido all others in good
works. We desire to repeat the Oft-expresscd
invitation of the past year, that special corre-
spondents of Departments and Corps shall keep
us informed of all the points of interest in their
keep up the interest in the Order and help and
encourage each other. Among the letters re-
eeived the past week was one from Mrs. +. Q.
Courtney Cochnower, of Nashville, Tenn. She
is for the present visiting at Hyde Park, Mass I.
and her letter, SO full of sympathy and encour-
agement, was most enjoyable. This lady and
her family were residents of Franklin, Tenn
during the rebellion, and there, in the midst
of secession and treason, remained true and
loyal to the old flag, suffering Imprisonment
for being Union sympathizer and spy, and
by the faithfulness OF former slave was helped
to escape. and for two years gave her time and
means in caring for tbasick and wounded Union
soldiers. We hope THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE
will be favored with some contributions from
her graceful pen. The gleanings from the
harvest of belief Corps news the past year have
been gathered by an artistic reaper, bound with
the co<1s of fraternal love, and we hope the
echo5 this year will reverberate in the hearts
of all THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE readers.

SONS OF VETERANS.
Let Us Stand Alone.

To THE EDITOR: The following item, clipped
from one of our s. V. papers. so fifty expresses
the ideas of the "SOns" in Nebraska, that we
earnestly request you give it place in your col

land, of the opinion that we, Order,
have conceded too much to them. For the third
time we have gone before them asking for recog-
ntion and for the second time we have been most
decidedly set down upon. Now if we are to be
looked upon by this older organization as a need
less body, why, in the name of common sense and
sound logic, should answer to their beck and
call, give them privileges in our meetings which
no member of our Order can have? Why should
be fearful that any movement which we
might make should give offense to that now pow
erful organization?
Let us continue on In our work, following our
own methods, and show to our feliow-men that we
and acM succeed in spite of the opposition of q
few jealous and disgruntled men, who have done
all in their power to wreck this young Order.
The point made was that it was not desirable to
have the Grand Army perpetuated. Now, we be-
lieve in that, for there never be but one Grand
Army of the Republic; but we do believe in per-
petuating the customs and principles of that Order
after those who constitute its membership have
passed away, and also that it should be done by
the sons of those men who made it possible to have
a Grand Army of the Republic. Let extend to
at the same time let it be understood that we

qualified to look after its interests and manage
their affairs.

A New AnecdOte of Gen. Grant.

When Gen. Grant was President ono of his
nearest friends, who is now dead, went to ex-
Congressman Paige to ask loan of $1,000.
This friend said he had an affair in the War
Department that would net him $50 900, which
would certainly go through if Grant would
approve it. This gentleman counted upon
Grants approval as absolute. Paige told him
II will let you have the money, but you may
be sure that he will not approve it unless it is
right" Time passed on. Tine note given for
the loan was promptly met. Paige, meeting
the borrower upon the street soon after, said to
him: =" / see your War Department matter got
through all right as the note was very promptly
met" The debtor shook his head. "How did
you pay, then? was asked. II will tell You in
confidence" was the reply. after l obtained
the money from you l went directly to the
President. I said to him: "You know / am
poor. With stroke of your pen you can make
me rich. am related to you by the closest
ties of blood and association. You cannot re-
fuse me-" / then explained the matter. Grant
said he could not do it. 1t would not be right.
Seeing me very much cast down, he asked me
if was in debt. / explained that / was in
debt So, 900 (your note), and could not meet it.
He at once wrote me his check for that amount
without word 1t was that check which took
up your note" Mr. Paige afterwards investi-
gated his story carefully, and, having confiden-
tial relations with the cashier of the bank
where the note was paid, was able to verify its
truth,

during which he got as red as brick house, and
