A TEMPORARY HOME.
Grand Army Comrades Of the Department of the
Potomac Establish a Shelter for Needy Veterans.

Grand Army Comrades OF the Department of the
Potomac Establish a Shelter for Needy Veterans.
A temporary Home for honorably discharged
ex soldiers and sailors of the Union army has
been established in Washington, d. c. This
Home has long been needed to accommodate
the thousands of veterans who visit the Ma
tional Capital from time to time, and who are
not able to return to their homes. Hereto
fore the Grand Army Posts of the Department
of the Potomac have provided for these indi-
gent comrades, expanding fully $500 annually
in that work.
One of the leading spirits in the establish
ment Of the Home is the Rev. Samuel Kramer
NOW in his 91st year,. Comrade Kramer was
for q long time Chaplain at the Navy Yard,
and while there established what was known
as the Sailors Bethel and maintained it for a
number of years by his individual efforts. Last
August committees from Kit Carson Post, No.
2, and Lincoln Post, No. 8, met at Comrade
Kramer's residence to consider the advisable
ity of establishing a temporary Home The
household effects, etc, OF the Sailors Bethel
were rendered by Comrade Kramer The COM
mittee worked energetically, and the result
was that a building in central part of the
city was secured and fitted up. The II Posts
in the Department and the Woman's Relief
Corps all aided IN making the movement a
success.
On Saturday evening, Oct. 90, the representa-
tives of the various Posts met with the origi-
nal committee and organized a Board of Man
agement composed of the following comrades :;
Comrade A. S. Tabor, Post 1 Thomas r.
Turnbull, Post 2; w. w. Hubbard, Post 8 !;
Alexander Freeman, Post 4 w. B. Pomeroy,
Post s. r. II. Belts, Post s; w. o. Drew, Post
7 Samuel Lewis, Post g; II. C. Biddle, Post
10; George c. Harris, Post II. Comrade w. w.
Hubbard was unanimously elected Chairman !;
Sec, Thomas R. Turnbull; Treas. James E.
Brown; Manager, Samuel Kramer.
code of flaws was adopted, and steps
taken for the incorporation of The Board of
Management of the Temporary Home for Sell

be to provide and maintain Home where ex-

Cen. sberidan,s Meetipe With Risr,arck.

When the Count received me he was clothed
in the undress uniform of the curassier regi-
ment of which he was the Colonel During
the interview which ensued he exhibited at
times deep anxiety regarding the conflict now
imminent, for it was the night before the battle
of Gravelotte; but his conversation was mostly
devoted to the state of public sentiment in
America, about which he seemed much con-
cerned, inquiring repeatedly as to which side
France or Prussia--was charged with bring
ing on the war. Expressing a desire to wit
ness the battle which was expected to occur
the next day, and remarking that | had not
had sufficient time to provide the necessary
transportation, he told me to be ready ut
o'clock in the morning and he would take me
out IN his own carriage and present me TO the
King, adding that he would ask one of his own
| staff officers who he knew had one or two extra
/ horses to lend me one. AS / did not know
| just what my status would be- and having ex-
| planned TO the President before leaving America
! that | wished TO accompany the German army
/ unoiicially, | hardly knew whether to appear
! in uniform or not; so | spoke of this matter,
| too and the Count after some reflection thought
! it best for me to wear my undress uniform
minus the sword, however, because l was q
| nOu-combatant.
On the way Count Bismarck again required
| to the state of public opinion in America with
/ reference to the war. He also talked much
/ about our form Of Government, and said that in
early life his tendencies were all toward Re-
publicanism, but that family influence had
/ overcome his preferences, and intimated that
after adopting a political career he found that
Germany was not sufficiently advanced for
! Republicanism. He said further that he had
/ been reluctant to enter upon this public career,
that he had always longed to be a soldier; but
that here again family opposition had turned
/ him from the field OF his choice into the sphere
of diplomacy.-Ge Sberdan's From Craze

RhllaueIphla Press.
The campaign In New York is already in full
blast. Postmasters in that State are receiving
from Washington a circular requesting the
with the politics of each indicated. 1t is ex-
planned in the circular that the names are re-
quirec 'for the purpose of distributing docu-
ments and papers discussing the political ques-
tions and issues. which are now attracting pub
lie attention. To make the order effective-for
under the circumstances this amounts to an or
der-it is signed by two high federal officials: 1.
81. Maynard, of New York. assistant Secretary
of the Treasury, and T. z. Benedict, of New
York, public printer. These gentlemen doubt
less know that they are violating both the spirit
and letter of the civil service law Under that
Law the postmasters forbidden to furnish
these lists Ito be applied TO the promotion of
any political object whatever" and that they
are for political object is stated in the circular
requesting them.
But Secretary Maynard and Public Printer
Benedict will get their lists They won't allow
q little thing like the law to prevent that. The
law will have such terrors for the post
masters who are asked Co violate it as they
would be sure to invite from the administration
if the orders of two such high officials as May
nard and Benedict were disobeyed Coming
welknown personal fri ends Of the President il
will be naturally regarded as the order of the
President himself It is not likely that these
officials have undertaken this work without an
explicis understanding that they shall be pro
tected. They have not done it for themselves
they have done it for the administration which
will Ibe just as much bound to protect the post
masters IN the violation of the law as to save
officials higher up
