tie recommendations to congress, made by
the board in the last report, are additional
houses, or enlargement Of the branches or
encouragement OF the establishment of state
homes, or appropriations for outdoor relief
for those soldiers who cannot be admitted y
existing branches. The board enforces it's
proposition by arguing,that the survivors of
the war are growing old, their disabilities
are severer, and the number who are unable
to support themselves is for these reasons
rapidly increasing"
The total number now in the homes is
about 1900. The congressional committee
having the matter in charge recently re-
ported a bin TO distribute $3.50, 900 annually to
the states to encourage state soldiers homes.
The different state homes are directly modi-
fled by the state encampments Of the Grand
Army, which usually supplies some members
of the state board, and appoints visiting
committee to report on the condition Of the
men in the home at each annual encampnent.

The Eagle
AN INDIAN LOVE SONG.

His winter home the bear forsahes,
The red deer swims the shining lakes,
Up foaming falls the salmon leaps,
The wild sheep hats on dizzy sleeps
The swans are northward flying
With laughing voice the rivers run,
Their pillows flashing in the sun;
II is the moon of spreuting grass,
A thousand warm sweet breezes pass,
Through lofty pine tops signing.
With bounding STEPS the antelope
Springs lightly down the mountain slopss
To verdant plains the bison HES,
The eagle mounts the morning skies,
And all the birds are mating.
With life and Joy ali things are bright,
Come forth, nay love! my SOULS delight,
Thy wigwam's folds throw wide apart,
For thee, oh dear and tender heart,
Thy lover true is waiting.

relief corps before the legislative bodies sane
toned it by formal action, and they would
have continued to have them had such sane
ton been withheld. The constitution of the
order does not forbid and cannot well forbid
auxiliary corps, or such memberships as have
been talked about under the name of honor
ary and contributing memberships. What
ever the constitution does not forbid, posts
will do if they find it expedient. The con-
stitution prohibits everything that would re-
veal the secret work Of the order or place
men outside OF the order on plane with the
actual members in the matter of privileges,
and no one has been rash enough to propose
to ignore these prohibitions. The strongest
case in point is that OF a Philadelphia
post that invited Gen. Joseph E. Johnston,
Of the Confederate army, to become
contributing member. A post in Brook
Ign took similar action about the same
time. The examples set before the Grand
Army boys by men to whom they are accus-
toned to look uD has much to do with this
unusual iberality Of sentiment. Grant fra
ternized with the southern generals and
urged the rank and fle to wave the olive
branch of peace. Confederate officers were
conspicuous at the funeral Of Grant, and
were there by his own wish, as it is understood.
At the dinner at Delmonico's last April on
the anniversary Of Grants birthday there
were several Confederate officers, and others
who could not attend received formal invi-
tations from Gen. Sherman, who was at the
head of the movement to honor Grants
memory in this way The comrades Of the
Grand Army look upon their stated gather
ings rather as social festivals than otherwise,
and it is common for them to remark that a
good Johnnie" Confederate is better than
bad "Yanl,." By "a bad Yank" they
mean northerner who did not go TO the
front ~ o II

freight vessel between here and Port
land, Or, married a girl in this city
and established home. He returned
about twice month, spending a few
days here before the return trip. Three
years saw him captain of the vessel, but
he didn't long enjoy his promotion. On
one trip he failed to return, but instead
came a dispatch saying that he and all
his crew had gone down with his vessel
in a great storm OH the Oregon coast.
The wife tainted when she read the dis
patch and long attack of brain fever
followed, ftOm which she at last rallied.
She wore widows weeds three years
and then married Mr.. Schultz, liquor
merchant in this city.
This was eight years ago. and they
now have four children. On New Years
day the usual festivities were in prog
ress at the Schultz house when there
was sharp ring at the bell. The wife
went to the door, but suddenly screamed
with terror, for there in the doorway,
looking only little older than when
she saw him eleven years ago, stood her
first husband. She was so daZed that
she led him into the parlOr, introduced
him to Schultz and then disappeared.
Beyond learning that Capt. Edmunds
had been rescued by vessel bound
from British Columbia to Europe, and
that upon his return to the United States
he went back to Oregon, settled on some
timber lands and acquired large for
tune. which he now enjoys, the wife
could CLEAN nothing from Mr.. Schultz as
to what passed at the interview. Mrs.
Schultz at first was inclined to go back
to ner maiden choice, but the thought
of her four children by her second
marriage deferred her.
She wrote to Sacramento, where Capt.
EdmundS is visiting some relatives, of
fering to let his daughter, who is now
thirteen years of age, go to him, and
begging him to forget and forgive all
that has passed. Up to the present Mrs.
Schultz had received no reply to her
letter.

Very Entertaining STYLE.

Very Entertaining Style.
The dismal Offices of the corporation
attorney, in the rear of the city hall
building, were lighted again yesterday
by the broad smiles of Hon. William
Pitt Murray, who had just returned from
a visit to Washington. where he went in
the interest OF an appropriation for a
new government building in st. Paul.
Mr.. Murray WAS very tired, but very
happy. This is what he talked to every
one who called:
Il want TO notify you now that we are
going to have 4 poStofiice building Oh
this lot that will cost 81. 100000 The
appropriation is going to be made by
re present congress. and the building
will be commenced by the time congress
adiOurnS. Senator Davis has introduced
the till in the upper house and had it
referred to special committee who are
entirely favorable. and it will be re-
ported at al early date.
Il don't think we ever had Il better
representation at Washington than
now. They are all workers, and are
looking after the Interests of Minnesota
with Will.
Senator Davis is always at work and
always in his seat. The only speech he
has made was the Logan speech, and
then he electrified those old fogieS.
There are men there from the New
England states who think the sun sets
on the Allegheny mountains, and think
there is nothing farther West. Con-
gresham Rice is going to be power i'll
the house. He never makes a speech
and rarely makes motion, but in the
committee ROOMS he is giant. ven
ture to say there is not a member who
is so popular with representatives of
both parties and so universally well
liked"
Mr.. Murray received telegram last
night informing him of the death of an
uncle in Indiana. and he left at once to
attend the funeral.
