LITERARY NOTES.

The opening article in the Southern
Bivouac for FEBRUARY is by Judge A.
E. Richards, "Bass Fishing in the
Shenandoah" Judge Gayarre tells of
an interview on Reconstruction, held
in 1876, with William H. Seward.
General Liddell's Record of the Civil
War is continued, and gives some in
side views of the relations of the South
ern War GOvernorsto the central gov
eminent at Richmond. This paper is
accompanied by an excellent portrait
of General Liddell. The article
which will probably attract most at
tention is, my Impression of General
Robert Edward Lee," by Alexander
H. Stephens. This article was d.
tated by Mr.. Stephens short time
before his death. but never revised.
1t is accompanied by an unfamiliar
portrait of General Lee taken from an
early photograph. Will Wallace
Harvey begins a story of life in Flor
ida during the reign of the carpet
bagger. Louis Pendleton tells "The
Story of Black DAM" a runaway
slave. Richard W. Knott has an ar
ticle on Poetry and Criticism" Gen.
eral Gilbert concludes his account of
"Bragg's Invasion of Kentucky" and
w. II. Swallow describes the disas>
trous ch'rge of "Longstreet's Divi.
sion at Gettysburg" The poetry of
the number is unusually good. Paul
II. Hayne mas some strong lines on
"Robert Lee" Clinton Scollard con-
tributes under the Magnolias," ii de-
scriptive poem; and there are poems
by Henry ALstlns and IS. G. The
editorial departments have their usual
variety of interesting matter.
The February number of Demon
est's Magazine is before us, and on
examination we find it very readable.
"a QUAINT Old City," which is pro-
fusely illustrated, is quite interesting,
and "a Year in Los Angeles" and
peter the Great are good articles.
Mrs. Harris serial "That Other Per-
son., is continued, and the shorter
tales are UNUSUAL y well told. "From
Pencil to Brush is an admirable fea-
ture of this magazine. Jennie June
furnishes a paper on the origin Of
"Sorosis," and the art department is
made attractive by fine oil picture,
cloves Postman," and a photograv>
ure from painting 10y Aulbert and
fifty other illustrations.

one Of John Robinson's elephants is trying

the young fellow thinks the great animal is

by the people:
To TIE HOUSE or REPRESENTATIVE
| return without my approval house bill
No. l41, entitled an act increasing the pen
sion of Andrew J. Hill. The bill doubles
the pension which the person named there.
in has been receiving for number of
years. 1t appears from the report Of the
committee to which the bill was referred
that the claim made by him for increased
pension has been lately rejected by the
pension bureau on the ground that the
claimant Is now receiving "a pension com.
mensurate with the degree of disability
found to exist. The policy of frequently
reversing by special enactment the deci.
sions of the bureau invested By law with
the examination Of pension claims, fully
equipped for such examination, and which
ought not to be suspected of any lack of
liberality 10 our veteran soldiers, Is exceed.
ingly questionable. 1t may we'll be doubted
If committee Of congress has a better
opportunity than such agency to judge of
the merits of his claim. IT, however
there Is any lack OF power in the pension
bureau for full investigation II should be
supplied If the system adopted is made.
Quate TO do full justice to claimants, II
should be corrected, and If there Is wan,
of sympathy and consideration for the de
tenders of our government, the bureau
should be recognized. The disposition e
sOncede most generous treatment 10 the dis
sbled, aged and needy among our veterans
should not be restrained, and Il must be ad
mitted that in some cases justice and equity
can not be attained without the charitable
tendencies of the government in favor OF
worthy objects of It's care. The conditions
sometimes justify resort TO special legisla
ton, but am convinced that the interpo
sition by special enactment in the granting
of pensions should be rare and exceptional
