reflections upon that gallant and faithful com
rade, Col. Ill. L. Potter. We take pleasure in
publishing the following letter from him, the
truth of which is amply borne out by the
official records:

[B0ston Courier.


Tt was at Harvard Class Day, and as she had
a rayishing gown, she was in blssfuI frame of
mind. Besides, she was almost as good as en-
gagged to Tom Burns, TO whose spread she mer-
rily wended her way, properly attended by a
chaperOn who know how to keep discreetly out
of sight.
But fate was unkind to her. She had hardly
set her foot inside of Toms chambers than the
host was introducing her to a man whose face
gave her dreadful shock.
You ought TO know my counsin, Jack
Harness" Tom said cordially.
And what punishment could be too severe
for that wretch of Jack Harness, who had the
cruelty TO rejoin:
"Oh, we do know each other We were
engaged five years ago while we were in COL
lege; weren't we, Miss Bank?"
"Oh, no, Mr.. Harness, not engaged You
know mamma said that the idea Of my being
engaged before was 10 was absurd and | said
| didn't mind giving you up if could have a
new sunshade. 1t was really as funny as any
thing / ever knew"
And so she saved herself, and if she is not by
this time betrothed to Tom she certainly de-
serves 20 be.

Robert Bayle5 Co. D, 10th Kan Cav, Biiou

perfect bill | have seen yet. But there is one
thing don't understand. Almost all the sery-
ice bills cut off the invalid pensioner from any
benefits unless he receives less for his disability
than the service bill calls for. Now, it seems
to me they are two separate claims against the
Government-One for disability and one for
seryice-and l can't see but that the last part
of Section does the invalid great injustice.

II. Il. Lyon, Co K, 10Th Pa Cav, Denton,

Bill just the thing that is wanted by old sol

should do what he can to obtain its passage at
this session of Congress He would like to
hear from some of the members of his old regi-

of the fighting done by them in the Wilder

Serg't Hunt, Co. D, 169th Ohio, Swanton, o.,
says 9 The National Tribune" Pension Bill is
right, just and well-timed, but fears that it
will not become law, as the rebel Brigadiers,
who are so opposed to sectionalism, are almost

Luxurlons Travel.

Under this head, referring to the vestbuled
trains recently placed in service by the Chicago
& North Western Railway, a correspondent of
the Chicago Tribune says:
The gestibate feature in modern railway
travel has ceased to be a novelty or expert
ment; its adoption by the Chicago and North
Western management fixes its status as prac-
teal, everyday adjunct to thoroughly first
class travel, it being well known that the North
Western managers, after deliberate study
and careful investigation, adopt such appli-
ances as will promote in the highest degree the
comforts Of frst-class travel. Consequently
by process of natural selection, that class of
travellers who demand the best service and
do not hesitate to pay for it, are concentrating
upon the trains of the Chicago & North
Western Railway"

have escaped had they tried this remedy
