THE PENSION GRAB.

The annals of legislation furnish few
if any, parallels for the recklessness
shown by Republican Senators in de-
batting the Dependent Pension bill.
Such competitive exhibition of dema-
gogy has seldom shamed the nation.
Having NO reasons to offer in support
of the outrageous propositions which
they propose to incorporate in tho bill,
they cut loose from facts and sail out
boldly into the boundless domain Of
fiction. AS an example Of this utter
disregard Of truth, take the assertion
of Senator Cullom, Of Illinois, that
"the further the country gets away
from the late war, the less is being
done for the ex-soldiers." Here are
the figures Of pension expenditures for
the last twenty.six wears.

THE STAR OF BETHLEHEM.
BYMAJoE T. n. cRuxrLEn, OF sUnRY.

THE following beautiful little poem
was written by the gallant Major
Crumpler, who fell in the cavalry
charge at Willis Creek, during the
seven days fight below Richmond,
and gave it to Capt. W. W. Lenoir, of
Watauga county, in exchange for a
poem of his own.
Major Crumpler was native of
Rockford, Surry county. and was a
classmate of Col. VIM. l.. Saunders at
the University of North Carolina. He
studied law under Judge Pearson, was
admitted to the bar, located in Ashe
county, and was considered one OF the
most brilliant young advocates in the
state.
In the legislature of 1860 he was
chosen, of many, to reply to the power
ful attack on the Wings, made by
Judge Person. His reply was one of
wonderful force, point and eloquence.
Just as his brilliant career was open
ing up and his pathway seemed strewn
with successes, his country called, and
gallant hero that he was, Major Crum.

company from Ashe, Ca cavalry CON-

His bravery won him the Office OF
Major of 1st N. G. Cavalry and he was
in the line of promotion when he met
his sudden, much-lamented death. A
monument to his memory was last
summer unveiled by Col. w. III. III.
Cowles at Rockford.
To his many friends and admirers
the poem will prove of the highest in.

while all other professions have made
rapid progress, politics and burglary

One reason why burglary has not

that burglars and burglary have fal'
