5O,OOO IN THE ORDER.

Sons of Veterans Have a F1ne Time.
 In Waterbury Friday night Colonel Lu- cien F. Burpee was presented by the Con- necticut division Sons of Veterans with a set of elegantly framed resolutions signed by William H. Pierpont, major general; Charles K. Farnham, lieutenant colonel; G. Brainard Smith, first lieutenant.
 These resolutions were beautifully en- grossed by F. A. Cargill of New Haven and placed in frame of carved oak, about three feet by two. Colonel Eugene Morehouse of Bridgeport made the presentation speech in the camp room of Chatfield camp No. Friday night. Past Colonel Burpee began his reply by saying that the vote for the resolutions was made after he had left the encampment, else he should have strenuously objected on the ground that he did not merit them; at the same time he was very proud to get them.
 Commander-in-Chief G. B. Abbott of Chicago was present and his reception amounted to an ovation. He is making a three months' visit to the New England States expecting to return to Chicago about March 12. In a speech that was thoughtful and full Of interest he stated that as soon as ever Past Colonel Burpee, who was well known to the brothers west as well as east, would allow his name to be used as a candi- date for commsnder-in-chief, the whole western phaianx would unite with the eastern for his election: Hr had been happy when inspector general to find that the figures of the Connecticut division for the last two years had so footed up that the division had stood at the head of them all, and he paid Colonel Morehouse a delicate compliment for the way in which he is trying to maintain that high standard. There are now fifty thousand men in the order, most of them well drilled and disci- plined. The Connecticut division is one of the youngest and it must work'hard to pre- serve its laurels. The inspection which will tell comes in April.
 There were present many G. A. R. men: Lieutenant Colonel Farnham, Judge Advocate Linsley, both of New Haven; Quartermaster G. B. Smith, of Hartford; Mastering Officer Garter and Past Inspector D. B. Ford, of Meriden, with the lieutenant of the Meriden camp; Lieutenant Colonel Mclean, of Anso- mia, and large delegations from neighboring towns. That from Birmingham was under command of Captain Wheeler, from Seymour under Captain Shepherd, from Danbury under Captain Davis and Past Captain Howard, and from Litch6eld under Captain Vessels. The they had 22 men present including a quar- tette of four brothers, the Messrs. Karl, who sang in good style the songs of the ritual. Their seldierly bearing and general fine ap- pearance made g great impression and won them many compliments from the officers. After speeches had been made by the various officers and by Commander Platt and Past Kiefer of Wadhams post, reci- tation by Past Captain F. w. Ingraham and singing by Lieutenant F. B. Ball of Chat field camp, 8 spread was served in the sky parlor much to the credit of the local camp, under the command of Captain Buerger.

World, which 1t IS now proposed to present to the French republic. This is certainly 8 handsome contribution, but it is possible that it may not be accepted, as there is an- other gift proposed that not only exceeds it in amount but in appropriateness.
 We understand that sum of ten thousand dollars has been offered by 8 firm in New York city towards colossal statue to be known as "Scienee Enlightening the World, :" commemorative of recent marvellous discov- cries made in medical science.

A Fairly Good Market with a Set-OE
 For the Rival Bulls and Bears.


 For half holiday the volume of busines on the Stock Exchange this morning was large. It is doubtful however if the result satisfactory to either side. The bulls, possibly overlooking the narrowness of the market, seemed to feel that Reading ought to score further immediate inn provement account of the ending of the strike, while the bears looked for realizing and bad bank statement to further their ventures. As matter of fact the market made no particular progress in either direction, though the average of prices at the little lower than at the close yester day. Reading, which led in point of activity, yielded slowly all the morning after strong open ing and scored the only net decline of note, per cent. The other centers of interest were in Union Pacific and in St. Paul. and both closed fractionallY higher. As compared with the final prices of last Saturday the market is generally higher. In only a few cases, however, is the net improvement important. Richmond and West Point preferred is per cent. higher, Union Pacific 2s6, Chicago, Bur lingten and Quincy 214.
