RECOLlECTlONS OF GEN. GRANT
By His SOn---COl. r. D. Grant.

We take pleasure in announcing TO our
readers the early appearance Of series Of
articles from the pen of Col. Fred Grant,
who writes his recollections Of the Viclzs-
burg Campaign. He accompanied his father
on that memorable campaign through all its
weary marches, desperate battles and the
long siege which eliminated July a, 1868.
ii is wonderfully interesting, full of the
adventures Of boy who was thrown into
the midst of wonderful scenes filled with
untold dangers and novel horrors to the
mind of a youth just from the quiet circle
OF the home ireside.
Col Grant tells many things interesting
aud significant for mature readers, while to
the boys his narrative win prove thrilling
beyond description here While the story
IL plain history of what he saw and heard
nj his fathers headquarters and on the bat
tle6eld and bivouac, ii reads like romance
more entertaining than anything from the
pen Of Peter Farley or Capt Mayne Reade.

countable for their course. They are now
before their constituents for reelection,
soliciting the votes Of the veterans, as they
did two years ago, with all manner Of pro-
testations OF friendship and zeal in their
service They should be Intercepted cate
gorically as TO how they redeemed the
promises they made two years ago, and what
portion Of the responsibility for the defeat
of the arrears bill and the disabled soldiers
bill is theirs.
As we have said before, most of the Rep
resentatives from the North and West will
welcome this searching investigation of their
records, but there are n number of them that
will not, for it will be an unmasking of their
pretentions.

THE SONS OF VETERANS.

TIE NATIONAL TRIBUNE would have
wished the National Encampment's indorse-
ment Of the Sons of Veterans to be more
earnest and comprehensive than it was.
That Order deserves the warmest encour-
agement from the GAR, from the National
Encampment down TO Posts and individual
comrades, for it is strong ally, whose
strength is our strength, and whose assist
ance we will need more and more every
year.
The Sons of Veterans are growing stead
lily and strongly. The absence of any straw

strong argument in their favor, for they are
feeling their way carefully and not taking
a forward step until the ground has been
carefully surveyed.
There is no Order in the Nation which
has greater possibilities of usefulness than
the Sons Of Veterans. If it continues to
build up as wisely as in the past, it will be-
come an enormous power for good for the
whole country, and for the maintenance of
that prosperity and good Government which
the sires Of its members bought with their
valor and blood.

GEN. c. p. VAN WICK is as far from being
common place as any man in the United
States Senate, and wherever he is there is
sure to be ripple, more or less marked. He
has made stir in Nebraska politics by ap-
pealing to the people under law passed in
1875, but never put in operation, allowing
the people to vote directly for Senators. He
has also challenged any of his competitors to
meet him for "a public discussion Of the
living and vital issues of the day." We can
assure any gentleman who takes up the old
veterans gantlet that he had better grid up
his loins for full days work, for he will
need all his strength.

COMRADES GEO. s. MERRILL, Jas. Tanner,
c. ii. Grosvenor and John S. Kountz acquit-
ted themselves with the highest credit in
the debate on the ght-dollar-a-month propo-
sition, and the supporters of that piece of
impracticability found themselves badly
oyermatched by Merrills straightforward
shoulder arguments, Tanners fiery elo-
quence, Grosvenor's masterful reasoning, and
Kountz's plain common-sense. They are
four Of as strong debaters as can be encoun-
tered in the country, and when Gen. Burdett
Joined in with his'polished forcefulness the
debate became exceedingly one-sided, and
Comrades Loring, Patch and Thayer went
from the field with dropping colors.

THERE is nothing that we admire SO much

THERE is nothing that we admire so much
as to see question answered in plain, simple,
direct words that any one can understand.
For example, subscriber asks the Scientific
american "What causes the leaves of the
sensitive plant to fold up when touched?"
If such question were asked one after an
other of crowd of men, they would prob
ably answer, "Cause it's their little biz"
because they're built that way" "They
don't know any better" "They fold up be-
cause they can't fold down." or something
that would give the inquirer no information
whatever. But the Scientific american is
one of those papers that will quench mans
thirst for information even if it uses up an
unabridged dictionary in the attempt, and
it calmly replies:
Because the petiole, which unites the limb or
blade OF the leaf TO the STEM has an articulation
a construction with tendency to disunion shown
in swelling formed of cellular tissue, irritation Of
the cells of which induces depression Of the whole
bipinnate leaf similar property exists in the
sruma at the base of the leaflets which fold upward
Now if man cannot understand why a
sensitive plants leaves fold up, the leaves
will have to 20 right along folding up with
out his understanding them.

THE Government is acting the part of wis
dom in prohibiting breech-loaders to the
Indians of ALASKA. One of the costliest
blunders ever made was in allowing the
Indians of the West TO get the best class of
firearms. They never should have been
allowed either breech- leaders or reyolvers.
The English permit the Canadian Indians
to have only muzzle-loading Enfield mus
kets, which are sufficiently good hunting

1T is believed that the quarrel between
the veterans of the 9TH n. Y. militia and the
active members has been amicably settled,
and that peace and harmony will reign in
future in the magnificent armory. The
terms of the settlement are not made
known, but it is likely that the right of the
veterans to wear their time-honored uniforms
and to be called by the titles they received
during the war will be recognized. If this
settlement has actually been arrived at it
will doubtless be made the basis Of SINH
lar agreements between the veterans and
the active members of all the other militia
regiments in the State.
The National tribune., 1886-08-19

If WE are going to quarrel with anybody
let it be with man our size-England,
France or Germany for example. The way
they have treated an innocent and molten
sive hog is great deal more injurious to our
national dignity than the way the Mexieans
have treated the worthless and offensive

BY AN error in the Congressional Record
Hon. A. Y. Parker, of New York, was re-
corded as "not voting" when the bill in
creasing the pension of widows was passed
some months ago. The error escaped his
attention at the time but few days before
the close of the session he had the correction
made. Mr.. Parker was present and voted

scRuTINIzE THEIR RECORDS.


The gentlemen composing the House of the
10th Congress are now on their way 10 their
homes, if they have not already reached there,
and will soon be occupied in giving TO their
constituents an account Of their stewardship.
We advise the veterans 10 scrutinize these
accounts carefully, and insist on having all
the items verified.
We are glad to say that the reports made
by large number of the Representatives
from the North and West will stand this
scrutiny, for they have been firm and ear
nest friends Of the veterans, and have left
nothing undone TO show their friendship and
secure them justice.
The records Of others viii not bear this
scrutiny. Somebody in the House Of Repre-
sentatives was 10 blame for the non-passage
of the act repeating the arrears Of pensions
limit, of the disabled soldiers bill, of the
bill to equalize bOunties, the one TO pension
the prisoners Of war, and several other meas
ures which were promised the veterans when
these men were running for Congress two
years ago. Enough Members of the House
made definite promises 10 their soldier con.
stituents TO support these measures, TO have
secured their prompt passage. But so many
Of those who SO promised proved false e
their promises, by either squarely voting
against the measures or by failing TO vot,
for them, or by juggling with rules or Eli
clustering 10 defeat them coyertly that they
failed TO even come TO vote on them
Now is the time 10 hold these men 40

A CROWD of tuft-hunting Americans, who
are always the worst toadies one meets in
Europe, made themselves conspicuous at
Salzburg last week by forcing their attentions
on the Emperor of Germany. They fun
keyed around him and made complimentary
speeches, which were duly transmitted by
cable-probably at the expense of some of
the toadies OF course, if they had had the
spirit that American citizens should have
they would have kept their distance from
the official head of Government which has
treated ours with such contemptuous dis
courtesy. But this class of people have as
little patriotism as they have genuine self
respect.

Proprietary Medicines.

A visit to Dr. Greens Laboratory, at Woodbury, N. J., has considerably changed our views, and especially our pretudices in regard to what is generally known as Standard Patent Medicines. Oi course we are oct. ting 10 that age in life when we are forced to conclude life itself is hum. bug, and naturally dlstrust anything that has not withs,ood long and tried experiences. Being physician I had the curiosity to know how such a sale of two medical preparations could be sustained so many years. The perfect system upon which the business is conducted, and the pharmaceutical arrangements for the manufacture of the two recipes with which we are maae acquainted, are sufficiently con. vlnclng to us that the Angus, Flower. for dyspepsia and liver complaints, and Boschee's German Syrup. for throat and lung troubles, were for the complaints they are recommended most excellent remedies, and only re gret that in much of OUT practice. medical ethics prevent us from ore. scribing them without making the formulas public. When we were shown the great quantity of voluntary letters having been forwarded Dr Green, from all parts of the country and from ali classes oi people, law yers, ministers and doctors, giving a description of their ailments, testl. monlals of their cures, etc., feel like endorsing Dr. Greens suggestion that the government accept such valuable formulas. and license them for gener. al use by giving protection to the in. vsntor same as patents generally Copied from N.
