A oaralrymnn Who Was Not strapped TO His Horse.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: / am con-
strained 20 say a word about that little affair
called the battle of Gettysburg, and about cav
alrymen being strapped 10 their saddles. 1t
would he interesting 10 know why the histo-
ran did not ask some rebel TO give an account
OF the cavalry fighting who was not confirmed
idiot or liar. Now was one Of Clusters boys
and i was not strapped TO my saddle, either
nor did i ever see anything Of the kind. i
guess, as general thing our cayalrymen rode
as well as any rebel.
happened TO be among the men who fired
some Of the first shots at that little difference
Of opinion at Gettysburg, as | belonged 10 Bu-
ford cavalry, who arrived a little before sun
down on the evening of the 30th OF June, lS63.
We went on picket at once without anything
extra 10 eat-!iust hardtack and bacon aud a
canteen of Pennsylvania spring water. / will
say right here, that when rebel says they
could whip five 10 one of the Nanks, he is tell
ing what Ananias was struck dead for. 1
know that the Sth N. Y. Cav. has met and
whipped twice our number in more than one
instance, and we were not strapped 20 our sad
dies, either. i wonder If Col. Morgan was at
Beverly Ford on the morning Of June 9, 1853,
when the sth N. Y. Cav. charged the rebels
and scattered them in all directions before any
more OF the cavalry go: across the Ford. The
commander of the Sth was killed during the
first few minutes fighting-Col B. +. Davis,
who was loved aud respected by all good fight
ing men in the regiment. BY the way, Col.
Davis was the man who led us out Of Harper's
Ferry on the night Of the 10th of September,
1862 and passed by and through where thou
sands of rebels were sitting, standing and
lying, both asleep and awake; and when we
came out 10 the Hagerstown pike we were
mean enough 10 run away with l02 wagons and
over 200 prisoners as far as Grocncastle, Pa,
aud then returned and took part in the battle
OF Antietam. j wonder what Morgan thinks
about that for Yankee trick, and many other
little tricks which were perpetrated by the So
called shoe max ers MILTON REYNOLDS,
Lieutenant, sth n. Y. Cav. Marysyille, Neb.

annoyance. The New York Board
forliAss Its approval Of the Lowell
bill by saying that "inasmuch as said
bill, which formed the material
pattern for the British act OF
1888, has received an uDquestion-
able Endorsement for its prfctica-
bility and worth. as presented by the
recent report of the Eoglish Board OF
Trade on the operation Of the British
act Of 1888. showing that tho number
Of iIsolvencies have been reduced
about one-half under said act, whilst
the assets have been proportiorately
greater than the dividends declared
and paid. larger than under preceding
acts, and which emphatic indorse-
ment OF the plan of the Lowell bill,
after England's test OF such plan dur
ing the past three yosrs. affords the
best and most satisfactory evidence Of
the Lowell bill" II our own ex-
changes agree with New York upon
this subj cot. Congress should be made
sensible OF this fact at Its reasssm-

THE TRUgsT CHARITY.

AT this season OF the year appeals

tar. There is Que way in which the
kindly inclined public could 60 more
good to the poor OF the United States
than will be done by all the money
they will contfib1te. Giving money,
even TO "worthy Objects" is a very
defective way OF doing good. because
those WHIP once find how nice it is to
get something for nothing never like
10 give IL up. The best benevolence
teaches the poor to save when matters
are prosperous, and to lay up their
savings for the cure TO come "rainY
day." To do this there must be savings
banks where the poor can deposit
their modest surplus, aud the wisest,
most Efficient aid 10 the leEs favored
neiRhbor tho kind hearted can do
now is to call upon Congress for the
establishment OF postal savings banks,
such az are in use in other countries.
There the money is safe until wanted,
aud Goals and blankets bought with
money go saved will do many times
the good there Ia in chsrlty-given
comforts. The feeling Of independ-
enco 10 preserved, the decent pride
that gloies In finding from the family

what is needed, uubeholdsn TO char
ity. Locking ct the results to obtain
postal savings banks for the poor is
the cheapest sort Of charity. Not
withdrawing this, there are persons
who would trudge all day TO make up
a charity contribution who will not
walk across Inc street to help the poor,
by their own savings, 10 be independ-

A CArTLE COMMISSION
To Look After the eupprenAiOn of
KKOIic Diseases Strongly Urged.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, December 29.-The
Executive Committee Of the Cattle
Growers Association of the United
States framed communication today
to be forwarded to the Senate aud
House OF Representatives. The com.
munication calls attention to the letter
by j. A. Cooper, of Colorado, in which
he pronounCes againtt the commits
sion feature Of the bill introduced for
the suppression OF exotic diseases
among the cattle of the United states.
The communication Gays that in the
great emergency now upon the cattle
industry II Is imperalively necessary
that some person or persons be vested
with extraordinary powers. II goes
on to say that the present bureau and
departments are already overwhelmed
with work to such an extent that it
would be impossible for any of them
to do as rapid or effective work as
could be done by commission OF
energetic aud practical business men
whose sole efforts would be de-
voted to enc task. The Com
mittee believe that commission
Vbhlou Win Jno neC6sShTy pOWoEd
could clear this country OF pleuro
pneumonia in twelve or eighteen
months. The communication further
says that the losses inflicted upon the
cattle industry during the last two
years by reason OF embarrassing inter
state and foreign guarantees amount
to q national calamity, and those quar-
anines contribute the greatest exist
ing one obstruction to interstate and
foreign commerce. The communica-
ton says the experience OF other
countries has proven that the only
successful way to deal with pleuro-
pneumonia Is by prompt resort TO
heroic treatment, and that the quick
est way is the cheapest. The sup
preston Of pleuro pneumonia Is not
only demanded as sanitary measure
for the protection Of our people, the
communication says, but is also
measure of political economy, Toe
communication closes with the ttite-
ment that the cattle industry repre.
SCENTS an investment OF $1,000 600, goo
Of taxable property, and asks that pro-
lection be extended TO II.
