a Queer Disease of swine.

culiar disease, which battles the skill Of
the veterinarians not only 10 diagnose

swine Of this section for some time. To-
day the last Of hne lot OF hogs owned

the disease having been prevalent among
them for the last four months. In all
cases the disease has proved fatal. Tue
strange disease first shows itself In an
eruption which appears back OF the ears
and on the neck and which slowly spreads
itself over the entire surface Of the body.
Loss OF appetite follows the appearance
OF the eruption and the swine drOOp and

cases the eruption II month or more in

Gen. John Pope has sent us, in response 10

This was one of the most admirably planned

swift and complete success electrified the
Nation. This is the first time that a correct
history Of the movement has ever been
printed. Gen. Pope is an admirable writer,
and his account is Of fascinating interest.
THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE has secured
for its columns by far the ablest array Of

So many important matters are now ap-
pearing in THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE that it
is great loss TO any subscriber to miss a
single number Of the paper. Any one who

should therefore examine the number on the

in the date line of the paper. For example,
the number of this issue Of the paper is 279.
If the number on the address slip is 2S2, the

THE 2lsT NATIONAL ENCAMPsIEST.

The Executive Committee Of the Council
of Administration has, after a careful ex-
animation Of the subject, decided TO hold
the 21st National Encampment on the 2Sth,
Doth and Both days of September.
This is an unusually late date, but it is
obviously the best that could be chosen. \
date in April, May, or early in June was not
to be chosen, because the majority of the
members Of the Encampment could not get
away from their farms, their shops, their
stores or their law offices to attend. Nor
could they take their children away from
school for the journey. The weather is very
July, August and the early part of Septem-
Der, SO that if the Encampment were held
then the discomfort would be great. To-
ward the last of September the city and
suburbs will be looking their best, fruits and
flowers will be in OVERLOOKING abundance,
the weather will be delicious, and every
body all over the country who wants to
90 will have the leisure to do so. I'm
doubtedly there will be the largest attend
ance ever known in the history Of the Order
The great Departments of Ohio, Indiana
Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Kansas
and Nebraska will attend en- masse, and with
them will come tens of thousands of citizen.

THERE is a feeling that the Assistant Sec
rotary of the Interior-a gentleman named
Hawkins, from Missouri, and who did not
fight on either side during the war,-is not so
friendly to the veterans as Secretary Lamar,
who fought on the Southern side, or the
Board of Pension Appeals, and that numer-
Gus reversals of favorable decisions by the
Board are due to this unfriendliness 1t may
he that he has been misunderstood or that,
as is frequently the case, when he comes to
understand the pension business better he
will be more just. 1t is quite common to
find men at the entrance upon their official
duties to be prejudiced against pensioners
a feeling which rapidly passes away as they
gain knowledge upon the subject.
The National tribune., 1886-12-16

THE gratifying news comes from Dakota
that the pension Of Gen. Free has been raised
from ST. to $50 month. This is a case of
unusual interest and merit. Gen. Free, who
had a military record second to none, emf
grated to Dakota, and being an enthusiastic
GAR. man, devoted much energy to build
ing up the Order in that Territory. He was
energetic and selfsacrifcing to the last de-
gree. His health at last broke down under
the ravages of his old wounds and the hard
ships of life in new country, and finally
his mind gave way. He has wife and four
children who are devoted to him. The case
excited the warm interest of Gen. Paul Van
Der WORT and other prominent GAR men,
who brought it to the attention of Gen. Black.
With the warm. heartedness usual to him,
where a disabled soldier is involved, Gen.
Black Immediately ordered the case to be
made special. Gen. Free was found entitled
10 an increase of pension, which was at once
granted him. This will be blessing to his
afflicted family.

liz spite of all the derision and sneering-

IL spite of all the derision and sneering-
mostly OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES against the
Salvation Army, it cannot be denied that it
is doing an immense amount of good. 1t is
doing precisely the same work, and almost
in the same way that the Methodist Church
did in the beginning. 1t is reaching certain
classes in about the only way that they can
be reached. Spurgeon says that "if it were
wiped out Of London 5000 extra policemen
could not fill its place in the repression of
crime and disorder" This is probably not
an over-statement.
