OF slaughter, all intended to stimulate the Da-

When ST got out his nice portfolio he found
it to be an utter wreck. 1t had been jamfucd
into a shapeless mass, and, besides this, it had
been soaked with rain; paper and envelopes
were pulpy ruin. and the postage stamps
were stuck around here and there in the chaos.
1t was plain that this mementO of home had
fallen an early victim to the hardships of cam
paign life, and that its days of usefulness were
over.

rowfully, as he tossed the debris into the fire,
after vainly endeavoring to save from the
wreck enough to carry out his epistolary

Then he went to the sufferer Skinner"
as he was better known-and paid 10 cents for
sheet of paper and an envelope, on which
were the cheerful words, 1T is sweet to die for

postage stamp. He borrowed a lead pencil,
hunted up piece of cracker box and sat down
to his work by the Pickering light of the fire.

THE PRESIDENCY OF THE SENATE.

THE PRESIDENCY OF THE SENATE.
The outcome for the canvass for a Presi-
dent of the Senate in place of the dead Vice
President is such as to greatly please every
warm friend of Gen. John A. Logan. There
was but one voice among the Republican
press and leaders of the country as to the
man upon whom that honor. should be con-
ferred The gallant soldier and able states
man whose candidacy upon the Republican
National ticket last year had been such
tower Of strength to the party was clearly
the one who should be given the highest
honors in the party's gift. So his brother
Senators of the Republican faith thought,
rejecting the popular wish, and they voted
unanimously for him.
But Gen Logan, in speech, the graceful
ness and fitness of which is extolled by
papers of all shades of political faith, de-
clined the proffered honor. His reasons,
which were sufficient, did him the greatest
credit, and he stands higher before the coun-
try to-day than ever before in his whole
career.

VETERANS RIGHTS IN PENNSYLVANIA.
Last week we published the letter from
the Veterans Rights Union of Philadelphia
to the President in regard to the discharge
of the veterans from the Philadelphia Mint,
his reply that he had addressed the Secre-
tary Of the Treasury on the subject, and also
the protest of Meade Post, GAR, against
the removal of Gen. Huidekooper from the
Post-office in Philadelphia.
Up to this time the Secret-ry of the Treas
ury has made no public reply to the Presi-
dents letter. What he may have said or
written privately is not known, but his Off
cial reply is anxiously awaited.
At meeting last week of the Executive
Committee of the Veterans Rights Union of
Philadelphia County, the following letter
was ordered sent:

DEAR SIR: The attention Of the GAR. Veterans
Rights Union has been called to your resolutions
published in the newspapers on the Goth ult in
which is stated that the places in the u. s. Mint
formerly filled by the Union soldiers lately dis
charged had been filed by worthy Union SOL
diers whose record is beyond question" In
the interest of the truth you are herewith asked
furnish the names. resments and length of service
of these men appointed. Your statement is simply
general In its character, and as such carries
proof with it, We simply want to know who these
are, or any Of tlien who have served in the
Union army or navy during the late war. We do
not desire TO be considered In antason to them.
We know no politics in this matter. We only ask
that the authorities shall obey the laws giving the
veterans the rights that belong to them.

GEN. LOGAN had reason to complain of
the discourteous greed of some of his brother
Senators last Spring, when they grabbed his
places on the Committees as if they were
sure of his defeat There is nothing but
praise, however, for the generous conduct of
Senator Manderson, of Nebraska, who showed
himself true friend in every way. Not the
least of these friendly offices was choosing
and taking for himself the Generals desira-
bic seat in the front row in order to save it
for his friend. When the General was re-
elected Senator Manderson at once handed
over to him his seat, and he himself took
one of the least desirable ones on the outer
circle.

THIS WEEKS PAPER.

Our issue this week presents some very
attractive features Gen. "Phil." Sheridan
does not often talk for the newspapers, and
for this reason his interview with Mr. VIM.
E. Curtis, SO pleasantly and chattily told will
be read with peculiar interest. Joaquin
Miller tells, in his peculiarly graphic style,
a story of adventure with Indians on the
California frontier 80 years ago. The article
on The Lawgiyers," is a gossipy sketch of
the way Congress convenes and gets ready
for business. The various departments of
the paper are unusually full and interesting.

In another column 10 . graphic
picture of . young man, the SON Of
Nevada millionaire, who at twenty
three is q miserable besotted wreck.
This young nan, who is known to
nearly every one who reads this,
had 3 most unfortunate start in
life. He had the misfortune to
have . father with millions, and he
passed from his mothers side, a
rosy, honest boy, to plunge into
the rush and riot Of the world with
an unlimited bank account. This
was only FIVE or six years AGO, and
today he is only fit to walk off
dock some stormy night and per-
ish miserably. No boy who is
earning few dollars week learn
ing trade, has any reason to envy
this poor fellow, who, at twenty
three finds all his vitality sapped
with dissipation, his mental facili-
ties blurred with liquor, and his
life a sorry failure,
uI.ad he left school with a few
dollars in his pocket and hardly
any clothes, he would now have
been drying a jack-plain, laying
on the sturdy strokes at the anvil
or holding a plnw at dollar day
and his board After few years
of this experience he would have
been doing something better, and
might have made his mark in the
world. But his father gave him
the cursed heritage OF wealth.
along with the idleness and vice that
voes with it, and now he is beyond
the reach Of any friendly hand
that might stretch out to save him,
and in addition to this is not
worth the saving. Boys who sit
around on lumber piles wishing
they had rich parents, that they
might not have to work, have but
to read this lesson and rejoice in
the fact that they will have to de-
pend upon their own brains and
hands for q livelihood. With a
little honest poverty to start with
they have one Of the first requisites
Of success in life, and tho assurance
that come what may, no man can
point at them and say, wrecked
