/ pension their victorious sons Who with ire
and sword made desolsts the fertile val
leys and happy homes of the south, but
Who were wounded and disabled in dOicg
so, no one can complain.
Why did Texas pension her disabled
veteran troops: Because they wished 70
insult the national government: No!
/ Texas had sent them 70 the confederate
army; they had obeyed their eountry's
call. Al Charlottesville, Chicamaugas.
Fredericksburg and many other places.
Texans lost arms, legs and life, not a.
traitors, but as good men and true, con-
| tending, with impeiuous Yalor, against su-
periOr numbers, and often iuyigorated,
enthused and made glad By the joyous
chants OF glorious victory.
Let the press Of the country, pro and

OF liberty, equality and fraternity.
The policy OF granting pensions By
congress 70 any persons whatsoever may
be questioned, whether 70 soldiers, widows
of eI-presidents and generals, OF other
distinguished persons.
The poor. destitute widows of New York,
Boston, Chicago, o. New Orleans are Just
as much entitled TO pensions from the ma

or Logan.
Political deusgogQes, successful war
riors and politicians are 10 better men or
trusr patriots than our common sovereign
Of the soil.
The various communities OF our broad
lard from Maine 70 Texas have charitable
institutions for the poor, unfortunate and
destitute who are kindly cared for By their
own city, county or state, and ii ia most
respectfully suggested 10 our national
solons that they would act wisely and do
better 20 attend 70 their own legitimate
business and not waste their precious time
N passing pension bills for the relief of
those who should be, and, 20 the great
honor of the American people, are always
provided for By their own constituencies
and the generous donations Of the Ameri-
can public at large.
If congress, however, must continue 70
grant pensions le: equal justice be done TO
all; let the southern soldier share the gov
ernment's donations equally with the
northern soldier, for each fought under
the orders of his state and government de
facto.

reported to be not more than five or sl1
times as costly as the product of a dyns-

not look very promising to a capitalist, "

The following method of Furnishing
iron and steel By means of the electro
current was recently communicated TO the
International Electri, society of Paris BY

source of electricity just strong enough
to decompose the water. Under these
the plate becomes coated VIA
a layer of the magnetic oxide, which :
firmly adherent and which will take hign
polish. If too strong a current is EN-
ployed the layer of oxide will not adhere
to the metal.
