Veterans, Rights to Pedd!e.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: The query of
NJ L. D.. Lakeview, Ore, regarding the statute
law allowing disabled soldiers to peddle, etc.,
Strengthens my belief that great many COM
rades may suffer through ignorance of what
few laws have been passed in their behalf
Therefore / would suggest that some comrade
from each State give the law on hawking and
peddling through the columns of THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE. 1t may be the means of helping
some poor comrade to obtain q livelihood
herewith append the statute law of Pennsyl-
vania enacted April 6, 1867 Pamphlet Law, p.
50):
Every honorably- discharged soldier who Is a
resident of this State and who from wounds on
account of disease contracted while in the military
or naval service of the United States and who on
account of such disability Is unable to procure a.
livelihood by manual labor, shall have the right
To hawk peddle and vend any goods wares or
merchandise within this Commonwealth by pro-
curing a license for that purpose; to be issued
without cost. ProUicied That before any such SOL
dier shall be entitled 10 the benefits of this act he
shall obtain q certificate from Examining Sur
gcon of the United States that he is unable to pro-
cure his living by manual labor. And he shall
also procure a certificate from the parliamentary

INAUGURAL CEREMONIES.
The PennsyIrania Troops to Take Part in the
Ceremonies.

The Pennsylvania Troops TO Take Part in the
Ceremonies.
Subscribers to the Inaugural fund have rap
idly accumulated the Chairman, Capt. Lemon,
reporting nearly S35, 600 received at the pres
ent time, while large amounts are coming in
daily.
Postmaster General Dickinson has decided
that as the amount which was appropriated at
the last session Of Congress for fitting up the
court OF the Pension Office building for the use
of the Washington City Postofice is inadequate
for the purpose, he will not order the removal
until after the Inauguration, thus saving the
committee at least $4,000, which would have
to be expended otherwise. as the Pension Office
is the only building in Washington which was
suitable or large enough for the Inauguration
Ball. 1t has now been decided by the Penn
sylvania authorities that the entire division of
State troops, some 1900 in number, will attend
the Inauguration Of Gen. Harrison. Adj Gen.
Hastings, OF Gov. Beavers staff, visited Phila-
dclpha on Friday last and held consultation
with First Fice-President Thompson, of the
Pennsylvania Central Railroad Co., and dis
cnssed the transportation of the militia to
Washington. The result Of the conference was
an arrangement satisfactory to both parties,
whereby the entire National Guard, cOmpris-
ing about 1880 men, including the batteries
aud cavalry, viii be taken to Washington at
the appointed time and brought back after the
Inauguration is over.
Adj't-Gen. Thompson stated after the inter-
view was concluded that they would come to
Washington with the entire division of Penn
sylvania's National Guard, including the bat
teries and the cavalry.
Many other organizations, both military and
civil, have expressed their determination to be
present. ard as the Pennsylvania Militia will
be present there Is not the least doubt but that
President Harrison's Inauguration will be the
4 largest ever held.
( The hotels are already receiving communi.
/ cations from all over the country asking for
/ quarters, and the Committee on Public Com.
fort began last week to lay their plans TO ae
commodate the hundreds of thousands of PEG

AN OLD SOLDIER GONE.
The Earl OF Luean, Who Gave the Order for III
Charge at BalakISYS

The Earl of Lucan, whose death was an
nounced recently in London, was one of the
most picturesque figures in the English me-
trOpolis. He was horn So years ago and en-
tered the army at the age of Is.
His campaigns included the TurcO-Russian
war of 1928 and that of the Crimea, during
which he commanded the cavalry division. II
was he. who, owing to the mise0ncepsiOn of an
order received from the Commander-in-C Chief
Lord Raglan, commanded the famous charge
of the Light Brigade at Balaklava, feat OF
arms immortalized by Tennyson's poem. Lord
Lucan was one of the best-known figures in
fashionable London. In spite of his great age
his general appearance was that of man of 40
years with his junior. hat-brimmed hat
struggling whiskers and froCk coat tightly but
toned over a thin waist, while his cavalry seat,
rs he rode IN the Row, was perfection. The
late Lord took extraordinary care of himself,
eating only certain kinds of food, which were
weighed out at every meal with scrupuloGs
exactitude. He had theory that every horse
that died under the age of % had been killed,
and that every man who failed to live TO so had
committed suicide. The only drink besides
milk and water that he ever partOok of was
brandy, which he held to be soyerei ga in
emergencies, aud of which, when campaigning
he has been known to drink half bottle with
out feelingi it.
The Earl of Luean was created Field Mar

FREEDOM TO SLAVES.

Whereas, the President of the United States
did, on the first day of the present month, issue
his Proclamation declaring that all persons held
Slaves IN certain designated States and parts Of
States, are, and heacet0yqCard shall be free" and
that the Executive Government of the United
States, including the Military and Naval au-
thorties thereof, would recognize and maintain
the freedom of said persons. And Whereas the
county of Frederick is included IN tho territory
designated by the Proclamation of the Presi-

ance with the Proclamation of the Chief Ex-
ecutive and l admonish all persons disposed

SUBSCRIBE NOW, BEGINNING WITH CHRISTMAS NUMBER.
THE MAGAZINES.

It is pretty well understood that the con-
duetOrs of Harper's Magazine always intend to
issue q Christmas number which shall be not
only complete IN itself, but arranged on lines
somewhat different from those followed during
the rest of the year; and the articles in the
Christmas number for 1883 were selected, evil
IDENTIFY, with this end in view. The result is
an issue strong and novel The originality Of
its pages is, perhaps, most striking in the short
stories (the serial stories all ended in the No
vember numberl-as in "The Christmas Story
of a Little Church" by Grace King; "SosFus
Dismal" by w. w. Archer, and THE Front
Yard" by Miss Woolson-this last being dar-
ing comparison of Italian and New England
natures aud ways. In poetry, too, the number
Exceptionally good. Artistieally, it has never
been surpassed.
The December Century will contain three
complete stories: "The Third of March" by
Julian Hawthorne; "Minc-a Plot" by 81. S.
Edwards, author of " Two Runaways' =; The
Rise and Fall of The Irish Aigle,' 2" which is
the first one of the Irish-Americau stories by
George Fl. Jessop. There viii also be travel
sketch by +. H0pkinson Smith, "a White Um-
brella in Mexico" with ten illustrations by
the author.
The next number of the Century is TO contain
Henry Ward Beecher's last manuseript-an I'M
completed paper ON his trip TO England in
1858, which he was writing for the Century War
Book the last week of his life. The article is
supplemented by brief paper by the Rev. J.
M. Buckley d. D., who was an eyewitness and
nearer of the famous speech which Mr.. BeecheE
delivered in Liverpool in 1868 in the presence OF
a bowling mob.
The first step in avoiding mistakes is to find
out how we fall into them. Valuable aid in
this direction viii be furnished in Prof. Joseph
Jastrow's paper on The Psychology of Decep-
tion," which viii open the December Popular
Science Monthly. As illustrations of his subject
the author cites the tricks practiced by con-
jurers, and the decisions which from time to
gain a hold on the public mind.

The Grant Monument Fund.

The models for the Grant monument are
drawn on a basis of an expenditure of $1,000
but the subscriptions to the fund up to date
amount only to $4,000. In the next Congress
an effort will be made, it is said, to resuscitate
and pass the bill introduced by the late Abra-
ham Dowdney, of New York, appropriating
$250,000 toward the monument.
For some time past the fund has almost
dropped out of notice, but now that the cleo
ton is over Prof Richard T. Greener, the Sec
rotary of the fund, is sauguine that subscrip-
tions viii come rolling in. The Professor has
frequently proposed thata fair should be held
in aid of the fund but the proposition has never
been favored by the committee.
During next week meeting of the commit
tee will be held and the manner of choosing
the models and drawings will be determined
upon. Premiums Of 81 800, 81 900, $500, $500
and $500 will be paid for the five best models.

What Was the Result Of tho Treatmentl

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Burnham
Wardwell, resident of Richmond, Va from
1850 to 1870, was imprisoned in Richmond and
Salisbury during the war, and was paroled from
prison. His parole not being respected, he LEFT
his family and went through the lines to Gen.
Buffers headquarters, and served in the Army
of the James until the evacuation of Rich
mOud In 1868 Gen. Schofeld gave him charge
of the Virginia Penitentiary. His method OF
treating prisoners was always TO call out the
good in them and teach them to respect them
selves Reform, and not revenge, was what be
desired to bring about by his treatment. Should
this meet the eye of anyone who was placed
under Mr.. Wardwell in any institution OF
which he had charge, they would confer a great
favor by stating the effect of kindness over the
brutal forces.-S. J. W., 465 Broadway, Cam

in state in the Capitol rotunda, met Thursday
night last around the banquet table and eele-
brated their seventh annual Reunion. The
National Hotel, this city, was their place of
meeting, and at 6 o'clock the little company of
veterans sat down to CAREFUL y-seleeted, per-
fectly- prepared, and wellserved continuation
of edibles and liquids. Bouquets decorated the
table and fragrant boutonneres adorned the
lapels of those present. Before the menu was
discussed the company listened with unbroken
attention to the eloquent address of the retir-
ing President, Judge ]. J. Noah, and then
everybody ate, drank and was merry. The
first toast was Our Country" responded to by
Judge Noah. The next sentiment was The
President-elect of the United States" and to
this Gen. R. d. Mussey did full justice. Our
Fallen Comrades was drunk in silence, more
than one of those present remembering that
although this was but the seventh Reunion.
yet seven of that faithful band which watched
over the old commanders body had responded to
the taps of the grim trumpeter.
Comrade Crittenden, the first commander OF
the Guard. gave very interesting account OF
his settlement at San Diego. Cal, whittier he

A .Put and Call,

This is funny phrase to the uninitiated, but
all the brokers understand it. They use it when
a person gives a certain per cent. for the option
of buying or selling stock on a fixed day at a
price stated on the day the option is given. 1t
is often a serious operation to the dealer; hut
there is more serious put and call than
this: when you are put " to bed with severe
cold and your friends call a physician.
Avoid all this by keeping in the house DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. The great
cure for pulmonary and blood diseases Its
action Is marvellous. 1t cures the worst cough,
whether acute, lingering, or chronic. For
Weak Lungs, Splitting of Blood, Short Breath,
Consumption, Night-sweats. and kindred afiec-
tions it surpasses all other medicines.

PREPARE FOR WAR.
RENSSELAER,, IND, Feb. Z, 1861.
FELLOW CITIZENS: The glorious flag of our
country has been fired upon-torn down by
traitor hands and trampled upon by permitted
impunity. The sovereignty of our Government
has been insulted, treated with contempt, de-
fed and set aside within its own rightful
limits by traitors, led on by disappointed dem
agogues, whose motto is " rule or ruin" Trea-
son and armed rebellion have raised their upas
heads under strange banners within six of the
Southern States of our Union. Shall the flag
of cur country, the glory and honor of which
has been sealed by the blood of a thousand bat
ties be thus disgTaced? Shall the boosted SOW
ereignty of our Government, the foundations
of which were laid and established by the wis
dom of our forefatheTs, to secure the blessings
of liberty to ourselves and our p0sterity," and
before which tvrants have trembled, and that
has never yet been defed or questioned with
impunity, be thus condemned and set aside
within our own borders? Forbid it, Almighty
God!"
But now the time has come in which to test
the strength of our Government; to determine
whether it is a mere rope of sand, that will
tumble into discorlant fragments upon the
first breath of organized treason; aud, like
Mexico and the States of Central and Southern
America, become the scorn and contempt of
the great nations of the earth or whether it
is to continue that Government whose gigantic
progress is the wonder of the world, has no
parallel in history, aud whose example is melt
ing the thrones and despotisms of Europe and
Asia Within the next thirty days the imbe
cile Administration whose pusilanimous con-
duct has given strength and confidence to this
impous treason, will have expired, and a new
Administration, pledged that "the Union must
and shall be preserved" will have commenced.
The new Administration will doubtless require
thousands Of Union-loVing volunteer soldiers
to assist in crushing ont this rebellion and in
restoring the displaced sovereignty Of our Gov
ernment. Volunteers in the Union States
should therefore be organized and ready at a
moments warning. 1t is desired to organize
a company of such volunteers in Rensselaer,.
All those who desire to join in this company
can do so by giving or sending their names to
the undersigned, and as soon as a sufficient
number of names are enrolled u meeting will
be called for the election of officers. All who
love their country, and are ready to lay down
their lives for the perpetuation of our glorious
Union, are requested to come forward and en-
roll their names. r. III. MILRoY.

Its Origin.
Ne,g York SUM-

One account of the slang phrase . in the soup"
is that it first received its popularity at the
Polo grounds during a game Of ball between
New York and Chicago. The members of the
Chicago Club made their appearance in full
dress suits, and were dubbed walters by the
crowd. Chicago suffered an ignominious de-
deaf by the score of 10 to 2, whereupon some
body remarked that the walters were in the
soup" The phrase spread through the crowd
like wildfre, and the cranks kept it up for many
days afterward.

Political.

The Republicans in Mississippi have decided
that Gen. James Chalmers shall contest the seat
of Morgan in the Second District; Hill that of
Catcbings in the Third. and Hernagan that of
Hooker IN the Seventh. The grounds of these
contests will be that the Republicans are not
allowed representatives at the baIIot-boxes,
and that the Republican United States Super
yisers are driven away.
