Those Original Rolls.

Mr.. Editor We read in the last
WATCHMAN an account of the adopting
of the resolution to pay for the original
rolls of the Plattsburgh volunteers in
the war of 1872 DR.. Brush returned,
we believe, in 1880 the original rolls to
the acknowledgement and left them in
his possession, with an understanding
that the legislature would pay him for
them. A bill or resolution was intro
duced for that purpose in 1880, and the
legislature, after investigating the mat
ter, refused to pass it. We are unable
to see what value these rolls can be to
anybody after the long time they have
been out of the control of the state
Besides, by an act of the general assem-
bly, of Vermont, more than thirty years
ago duplicate rolls of the officers and
men who served in the war of 1872
were made and are recorded in the ad ju-
tant-general's office, and are by law
made proof of service of the men named
in them. Upon this evidence the claims
for bounty land and for pensions were
established. If the soldiers are not all
dead they now have no claims in which
the original rolls would be of any value.
The absence of these rolls in the past
has caused great inconvenience to both
the state and to claimants for pension
and bounty land. But claimants have
succeeded without them, and it would
seem useless to pay for something that
is of no value, and if of value the prop
erty of the state. Z.

Questions Answered.

ID. f. B., Brattleboro. - General
Pierce, who commanded the Union
forces at the battle of Big Bethel, is still
living. His address is Freetown, Mass.
w. G. j., Mortified. might
perhaps obtain the address of one or
more of your comrades in the army by
applying to the commissioner of pen
sions for the same.
G. H., Gardner, Mass.-The children
of a soldier of the war of 1872 are not
entitled to pension at any age. The
widows of such soldiers are the only
heirs entitled to pension.
F. S., Fayston.-The soldiers home
in Vermont has been located in Ben
nington. We do not know when it will
be opened to receive inmates. Address
General William Wells, Burlington
VT, for information and blank appli-
cation. All Vermont soldiers destitute
of home and means of support will be
cared for in the home free of expense.
w. A. p, Chicago, Ill.-Pensions
granted by special act of congress,
without fixing the rate, are subject to
the conditions and limitations of the
pensions laws and are rated by the pen
sion office from examinations by sur
geons as in other cases, and from
testimony filed in the claim by the APP
plicant as in other cases. If the med
ical board that examined you reported
you as suffering from only one disease
when you were suffering from three
different maladies, you ought to apply
for an additional pension and file the
testimony of the three physicians who
are treating you with the commissioner
of pensions. In that way you would
overcome the finding of the surgeons
who examined you. Theirreport is no
testimony. 1t is only their opinion de
rived from an examination and single
interview with the applicant.

Sincere, but Wrong.

I" If he is sincere in his belief, he has
as good a chance of going to heaven as
you or | have" said a church member
to us the other day, when speaking of
certain person who held and taught
all kinds of strange doctrines, contrary
to Gods Word. This idea that, pro-
vided man is sincere in his belief, no
matter what it may be, God will safely
admit him to the eternal city, is one of
Satan's decisions eminently prevalent
at the present day Men seem to for
get that Saul was sincere in his belief
when he shut up the saints in prison !;
yea, not only sincere, but exceedingly
Jealous" also. So were those who
killed the Prince of Life; and though
through ignorance they did it, God
holds them responsible for their lack of
knowledge, and that Notwithstanding
they were perfectly sincere in their
convictions. Had a bitten Israelite
sincerely believed that he knew of a
better way than a simple glance at the
brazen serpent, he would have died
where he lay; and in like manner will
the sinner go down to an endless death,
if trusting in self-appointed way,
rather than in the one so plainly re-
vealed in Gods Word written. Man
says, Though | believe not | shall be
saved, provided am sincere in my UNI
belief" God says, " He that believeth
not the Son shall not see life, but the
wrath of God abideth on him" From
all this we learn that it is of the utmost
Importance what we believe, or, rather,
in whom we believe. And as the One
who offers us eternal life is no other
than Gods dear Son, how can we es-
cape if we neglect his great salvation?
He, then, who trusts simply in the sim
cerity of his belief can't be saved
while he who trusts simply in the
atoning work of Christ can't be lost

MY First Battle.

Finally we reached and pressed for
ward into a cleared field in front of the
rebel works. Many of the boys were
now firing in rather haphazard way,
Some probably had fired good while
before. / had seen nothing as yet to
shoot at, and had no mind to stop to re-
load, and so had reserved my shot until
| could "place it where it would do
most good" / now threw myself on
the ground behind little dry limb or
brush, which was no defense against
bullets, but would partly conceal me
from the sharpshooters. The musketry
fire had, as we approached their lines,
become very loud and deafening. |
was trying to make out therlne through
the smoke, and had raised and cooked
my gun. Over their earthworks they
had thrown quantity Of green pine
brush, which they had cut away from
their front, which made it very hard to
distinguish it from the growth of pines
back of them. Rising on my knees,
with my arm thrust out to support my
piece, and peering forward for shot,
must have formed very good subject
for plaque. 1t was for very short
time that held this position, just about
enough for an instantaneous photo
graph. Suddenly my gun dropped and
my left arm went whirling around and
around. 1t was something like an cleo
trio shock in its quickness, but was also
like the blow of a hammer. 1t partly
turned me around. / caught hold of the
arm with my right hand, but the uneX-
pected weight caused it to slip out OF my

Happiness.

Happiness is not dependent on what
one has but on ones estimate of what
he has. 81 look at what | have not,
and think myself unhappy" says a
wise thinker; "others look at what |
have, and think me happy" Happiness
is more likely to be found in the heart
of one whom the world deems sore
tried than in the heart of one who
seems favored above others. Happi-
ness comes of grateful trust in God,
who has ordered lovingly and wisely all
the lot of the trusting one. Unhappi-
ness comes of a desire to have ones
own way and to crafty ones own long
ings, rather than to leave the issue with
God. Even God himself cannot give
happiness to one who is unwilling to
leave his case with God. He who does
restfully leave his case with God is
thereby shut out from the possibility of
unhappiness. -S,mdoy-Sch0ol Times.

Buffers Purchase of Hand.Organ.

| heard yesterday the true version of
the monkey and hand-organ story which
was privately told in war circles here
now and then, but not correctly. a
treasury official said: Well, General
Butler, have no doubt these accounts
are all right, and if you will explain
satisfactorily one other item | will pass
them. Here is a charge of $50 for a
hand-organ and monkey. Now what
possible use hand-organ and a monkey
would be to the United States govern
ment, or TO you, as its general, cannot
see." General Butler then told the
following: "It was the hottest time of
my campaign about Baltimore. The
rebels were very close-mouthed, and
| could get no inside news of the doings
of the rebels. One day | saw a great
crowd gathering round man with
a hand-organ who had very large
monkey. AS | drew nearer | noticed
that the man playing the organ looked
much like a smart Irishman whom
had among my soldiers. l said moth
ing, but went back to my headquarters,
and, calling up the Irishman, in whom
| had perfect confidence, | gave him
some money and told him to 60 buy
out the musician. He did so. He
bought the hand-organ, the monkey and
the musicians clothes and paid $50 for
them. Dressed in these | sent him out
as spy. He travelled all the surround
ing country and gave me some valua-
BILE information. This information was
worth thousands of dollars to the United
States government, and" concluded
General Butler, you can thus see why
ii paid the United States to pay $50 for
hand-organ and monkey" 1t is
needless to say the explanation was
satisfactory. -" CARP" IN Clecelano
