GRAND asNY OF TEE REPUBLIC.
who Originated the Idea and What II Ha
Grown To.

The order of the Grand Army Of
the Republic was organized III the
State of Illinois early in the year 1866.
To DR.. B. F. Stephenson, Of Spring
field, ILL.,, belongs the honor OF sug-
sesting the formation of this union of
veteran soldiers and of launching the
organization into existence. The OBJ
iect of the combination was to afford
assistance to disabled aud unemployed
soldiers. DR.. Stephenson had been q
surgeon in a volunteer regiment dur
ing the war, and was firmly convinced
that an organization of the returned
volunteers tor mutual benefit was I'M
peratively needed. A ritual was
drafted under his supervision, aud the
first post Of the rev order was formed
at Decatur, LII. Other posts were
soon mustered throughout Illinois aud
contiguous States and the First DE,
parcment (State) convention was held
at Springfield, H., July y, 1866.
General John NJ Palmer was there
elected department commander. Oc-
tober 81, 1866, DR.. Stephenson, as
provisional Observation-Disclosures, sent
out an order to all the Posts then
formed, calling for the first National
Convention Of the Grand Army OF the
Republic. This was held 1T Indian
apoliS, Ind, on November ~ follow
ING, and representatives were presen!
from the States of Illinois, Missouri,
Kansas, Wisconsin, New York, Penn
sylyania. Ohio, Iowa, Kentucky, In
diana and the District of Columbia.
General S. A. HurIbut was elected as
commander in-chief During the year
1867 the order spread rapidly. The
various States completed their work OF
department organization and Posts
were formed iii all the large towns
and in many counties. The second
National Encampment. meeting at
Philadelphia, Pa, January 10, 1868,
found the order in a most promising
condition. In 1868 the first observance
of May 80 as Memorial Day by the
Grand Army was ordered. May H.,
1870, this date was fixed upon for an
nual observance by an article adopted
as part of the rules and regulations
of the order. Unfortunately, during
the warmly-contested political cam
paign of 1868, the idea that the army
vas intended as political organiza-
ton gained currency, with the result
Of injuring the order greatly. A
heavy decrease of membership fol-
lowed, causing almost total dlsrup-
ton of the order in the West. In
Nav, 1869, a change in the ritual was
made, providing for three grades of
membership, but this met with little
favor, and in 1871 ali sections provid-
ing for degrees or ranks among men,
bers were stricken from the rules OF
the order. At the same time rule
was adopted prohibiting the use Of the
organization for any partisan purpose
whatever, principle which has ever
since been strictly adhered 10.

Eczema.

Eczema is one of the ugiest and most
troublesome of al blood diseases. 1t
proceeds from humors in the blood
which are sometimes very difficult to
eradicate For FIVE weary years Mr.. j.
d. Rodefer, Of Greendale, Va, suffered
terribly from this disease. He writes:
Finding no relief il, the many medi-
cines till l used Browns Iron Bitters, |
purchased three bottles; from the use of
which I have obtained almost entire re-
lief. I recommend it to every one in
my neighborhood for any disorder of the
blood and as general tonic"

A special cable dispatch from Paris says:
The French Republic has now definitely
taken The first step on the downward path
of prescription and political persecution
Feeling too weak to tolerate its enemies on
French soil, it has expelled them: The
Comtc de Paris will not settle definitely in
England: but will regard himself as merely
travelling in a foreign country, probably
intriguing against the French Government
ten times us much as if he had been left
alone. Probably the fact that they have
kept so quiet has had much to do with the
lack of sympathy for them. If they had
more conspicuously filled the role of aris-
tocrats more voices would be raised for
them to-day in France. Apart from their
representative position nobody appears to
care straw about them.

One thing is certain, coercion viii nevcr
again be attempted by English Legislators
in the government Of Ireland. Some of
the rancorous Tories would no doubt be
glad to employ the old thumbscrew and
bayonet policy, but they dare not. The
discussion of Home Rule has advanced
public opinion a hundred years on this
point, and public opinion is the only power
before which tyranny tremblcs.

oldest Episcopal church in the city, Al
though all was apparently serene, there were
some heartburnings beneath the surface
When the reception was proposed one of the
vestrymen suggested 10 the others that dress
suits DO worn. Those who did not own dress
suits objected 10 being put to tho expense OF
buying or hiring them Tor tho occasion. A
fortunate possessOr OF moro than ono dress
coat offered to lend from his supply to those
who needed them. IL was finally decided to
permit individual choice TO govern the mat

members who opposed it. St AIMS is a Tree
