EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Comrade S.
ii. Mccoy, Co. {, 1Ith Iowa, in THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE OF April II says that the I1th, 18th.
18th and 10th Iowa composed the Third Br-
gade, Fourth Division, Seventeenth CORPS.
Comrade Mccoy is correct. The Iowa Brigade
was organized at Pittsburg Landing April n,
1862 as follows, 11th, 18th, 18th and 10Th
Iowa, and held their organization until mus
tered out at Louisville, KY, July Is, 1865.
Comrado w. d. Piper, Co. ID, 32d H., is mis-
taken as TO the regiments belonging to this bri-
gade. The SD I'll. was assigned to our brigade
a short time, but the Sd Iowa never belonged to
brigade. Comrade Piper, will you please state
when they were assigned to our brigade and
where, and oblige comTade ?-CoNNIE LEMON,
Co. +, llth Iowa, Bear Grove, Iowa.
The 81 Iowa was for short time assigned to
this brigade, and was a part of it during the
battle OF the 22d day of July, 1864. They were
sent to the extreme left of the brigade by Col.
Hall to prevent the flank movement which
proved so disastrous to Crocker's Iowa Brigade.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: think THE
NATIONAL TRIBUNE is the old soldiers great
est friend and best counselor I have been
reading it for about a year, and am only sorry
did not take it years ago. Nothing does me
so much good as to hear or read the war sketches
from old comrades. " The National Tribune"
Pension Bill is the best bill have ever seen
proposed yet, and the old soldiers should ham
mer away at their Representatives in Congress
until it IS passed, although 1 have no hopes of
it at present. l think Congress should pass
the Senate bill as recommended by the GA r.
which would relieve all the most urgent cases.
We say to you that the old comrades of Bel
mont County, o., approve your course in mat
tiers of legislation for the soldiers Go on as
you have been going, and We will sustain you.
There is disposition among the old soldiers to
pull together more than they ever have done be-
fore. They are tired of being soft-soaped, and
the party who gets their support viii have to
do more than make promises. Long live The

his voice with the rest Of the veterans in de-
manding justice for the old soldiers, who have
been waiting and hoping against hope all these
years for what they were promised. He is a
Democrat and il favor of tariff reform, but not
to such an extent as to shut out pension iegis-

their requests at the doors of Congress until

KEEPING ELEPHANTS.
What 1t Costs to Support Eight of the
Mammoths for One Year.

What 1t Costs to Support Eight of the
Mammoths for One Year.
The cost of keeping elephants is an
item of expense to the proprietors of
circuses and menageries that is scarce
ly appreciated by the public. 1t is
amusing enough to see the eight train
ed mammoths at the winter circus in
the American Institute 60 through the
intricacies of quadrille. The ''act, !"
however, occupies but few minutes
and few people stop to consider how
much the advertisement costs the pro-
prietor of the show. The combined
value of the elephants is 1925, 900. In
addition to the double quartette there
is the clown elephant Jack.
On an average each of these nine
elephants consumes $50 pounds of hay
a day, besides bushel of oats. With
hay at $16 ton (the present price,,
each elephant eats about ST.. 20 worth
of hay daily, and oats at A cents per
bushel brings the total daily cost of
feed per elephant up to $1.64. This
makes the total yearly cost of feeding
nine elephants SIS, 287 40. Add the in
terest upon 1926, 900 at 6 per cent,
which is 81, 800. By adding the cost
of feed, interest and wages of trainers
and keepers together, the brief amuse-
ment which the elephants daily fur
nish to the public costs annually the
sum of ST., 1877. 40. N Y. Herald.

KING AMONG COOKS,
A Chef who Earns $40, 600 Year by TIA

A Chof VINO Earns %1O,OUO Year by IaSt-
ing Cookery of Others.
/ had more than once been told of
the mysterious French chef in London
who earns more than the salary of an
Under Secretary of State by the exer-
else of his skill as faster, but | have
hitherto always remained somewhat
skeptical as to his existence. But now
Max O'Rell gives us such authoritative
details about this eminent Gordon bleu
that his presence in our midst can be
no longer doubted. Moreover, curious
readers, by going to the Cafe Royal
some day soon after noon, may see this
mysterious professor of gastronomy in
the flesh, for he is accustomed to take
his dejenner there about that time. Fe
is tall, thin and gentlemanly indiviG-
ual, and not infrequently may be seen,
his meal concluded, leaving the Cafe
Royal in the same we'll appointed
brougham in which, later in the day,
he makes his professional rounds. For
he is not the cook of any club or aris-
tocrat in particular; he is rather
what may be called a consulting
chef, and it is his daily task to
visit the kitchens of the houses
he has on his engagement list.
These houses are those in which dim
ner party of Importance is to be given
that night, and it is the duty of the chef
when he arrives at the first on his list
to alight, proceed to make his way to
the kitchen, and there go through the
process of tasting all the made dishes
included in the menu, especially those
into the composition of which sauces
and other complicated concoctions en-
ter.
1t is then his business to suggest a
pinch more salt in this one, a dash of
sugar or garlic, as the case may be, in
that one; drop of tarragon or a
sprinkling of spice in the other one.
For two guineas, which is his nominal
fee, he in short puts the finishing and
often the most important touches to a
West End dinner, and as during the
season he has often four or five such
engagements booked for one night, it
can be readily seen that he earns an
income of upw ard of $4,000 per annum
without difficulty. And he has also the
rare satisfaction of following q pro-
fession that can not fail to be, In the

PUG DOG RECEPTION.
The Latest Fad of the Young Women Of
GOthan,a Iyr,Der

Gotham's Upper Tendon.
The newest whim in that part of New
York polite society which suffers from
chronic ennui may be called the ''pug
dog reception" 1t is yet too early to
say whether this form of social enter
tainment will become permanent
feature of high life, or even enjoy
reasonable run of the season. But it
has made beginning under such
auspices as show that its promoters are
considerably in earnest. The set which
inaugurated this diversion is composed
almost entirely of unmarried girls.
The affair which came under my notice
was arranged for at AN afternoon call
where three or four of the parties con-
cerned happened to meet All brought
along their pugs and the dignifed de-
light with which the snub-nosed orea-
lures viewed each other led to the sug-
gestion of giving to the pugs the COM
plete flavor of the grade of life in
which they exist. Two or three con-
ferences had to be held over the mat
ter, and when it took shape those who
were upon the list as eligible received
a dainty invitation, upon tinted and
perfumed paper, in which Charley"
of No. - Fifth avenue, requested the
pleasure of Danny or George or
"Jim," as the name of the invited pug
might happen to be, to five o'clock
tea upon a Wednesday afternoon.
The pugs began to arrive, each one
in its own coach, of course, and attend
ed by it's mistress, shortly after four
o'clock, and by five there were nearly
a score present. 1t must be said that
the ladies concerned in the affair en-
joyed the thing thoroughly. There was
continual chatter as they passed from
one pug to another and inspected its
monogram, stroked it's ears and said
cunning things to the naughty little
animals. There were doubtless not
few jealous heartburnings, either on
account of the evident superiority of
some one dog over another. But such
feelings were carefully concealed. and
every thing moved with that serenity
and animation which together mark
the doings of all highly cultivated peo-
pie AS for the dogs, there was good
deal of snarling. and such confusion
that before the affair was over the la
dies had each to take her own dog and
hold him in her lap to prevent canine
Misunderstanding taking place upon
the parlor floor.
Tea was served at five o'clock in the
reception-room, the pugs maintaining
their places in the laps of their mis-
tresses, who slipped tea from China
cups and nibbled cake and confection-
cry placed upon the napkins beside the
pets in their silken laps, and when il
was over the respective maids of the
mistresses and pugs came in with
warm coats, and elegant wraps, md
tucked up the ugly creatures so that
they should not by any possibility suf-
fer from the chilly air of the winter
evening. The maids saw the dogs
home while the mistresses tarried for
further chatting, and altogether they
agreed that the occasion had been an
immense success. So that it is quite
probable that others will be held before
the season is over. Clara Belle, in IN
