secretary Proctor's War Record.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In your &C
count of Comrade Proctor's army record, he is
mentioned only as Lieutenant of the Sd Vt.
and Major of the 9Th Vt. Comrade Proctor
was Colonel of the 18th vt. and good one,
aud we were all proud Of him. In the march
to Gettysburg and back l believe he walked
more miles than any field officer in the Army
of the Potomac, and did it for the purpose of
letting privates ride his horse, often two of
them at one time God bless him for it-E. G.

formation was taken that the ctmrade criti-
cizes, failed to give Col. Proctors service in the
18th VT. We are glad to publish the correc-
ton, and to know that Comrade Proctor was
such good officer, on the best testimony which
can be offered, that of one of his old soldiers

comrade r. Marinder, Bismarck, Oak, sends
us an extract from ST Louis paper, giving an
account of the presentation at Austin, Tex,
to Miss Annie L. Bowling, of beautiful gold
medalset with diamonds, in honor OF the exploit
Of her father Dick Bowling, who, on the 9Th
of September, 1863 when in command of AZ
men, held at bay and drove off from Sabine
Pass Union forces of moro than 1000 men. The
presentation was mado by one of the State
Representatives, and received on behalf of Miss
Bowling by the State Treasurer, in the pres
ence of "Yast crowd of ladies and gentle
men" C0mrade Marinder thinks that lisa pity
that Lee did not have Bowling at Appomattox
to whip out the Union army. He wants
to know what regiment it was that was so sig
nallY dereated at sabine Pass.

TORTURING, DISFIGURING SKIN DISEASES

A minister and his little boy cured of an
obstinate Skin disease by the Cutieura
Remedies. Praises them everywhere
in the pulpit, homo, and in the street.
For about thirteen years have been troubled
with eczema or some other cutaneous disease which
all remedies failed to cure. Hearing Of the CCrI-
CURA REMEDIES resolved to give them a trial,
and purchased one bottle of CUTICURA REsoLyEST,
one box Of CUTICURA and one cake CUTICUaA
SOAP. l followed the directions carefully, and it
affords me much pleasure TO say that before using
two boxes OF the CUTIcURA, four cakes Of CUT
CURA SOAP, and one bottle Of CUrICURA REsoLv-
ENT, was entirely cured.
In addition to my own case, my baby boy, then
about five months old, was suffering with what
supposed to be the same disease as mine to such
an extent that his head was coated over with a
solid sc6b, from which there was q constant flow Of
pus which was siciScninS to look upon, besides two
large tumor-Iike kernels on the lack OF his head
Thanks to you and your wonderful CUTICCEA
REMEDIES his scalp is perfectly well, and the kerr
nels have been scattered that there IS only one
little place by his LEFT car, ard that is healing
nicely. Instead Of coating of seabs he has fine
coat of hair much better than that which was de-
stroyed by the disease. I would that the whole
world of sufferers from skin and blood diseases
knew the value of your CUTIcURA REMEDIES as
l do.
The CUTICURA SOAP and CUTIcURA REsoLvEST
are each worth ten times the price ut which they
are sold. have never used any other toilet soap
in my house since bought the first cake Of your
CUTEcURA SOAP. 1 would be iRhunau rs well as
ungrateful should fail to speak well of and rec
ommend your CUTCURA REMEDIES 10 every suf-
ferer who came III my reach. 1 have spoken Of it,
and shall continue TO speak of it from the pulpit
in the homes, and in thestreets. Praying that you
may live long, and do others the same amount of
yours gratefully,

A comrade writes to US from Troy, N. Y,
protesting against the continuance in the Office
of Pension Agent in New York of Gen. Sgel.
He says that under Sigels administration, the
pensioners living north of New York city have
been annoyed by the long delays in receiving
their pension money, which was not the case
with Sigcl's predecessors. For example, up tothe
18th, seven days after the pensioners had signed
the rolls, they had not received their pensions !;
whereas, under the previous admininistra-
tions they have been given them within a
very short time after signing. This has been
the case ever since Gen. Sigel assumed charge

The Government Funds in National
Banks.

The strong position taken by President
Harrison In his message relative TO the de-
post Of public funds in national banks will
meet with very general approval. Under
the Cleveland regime this system was very
much enlarged and its abuses increased
many fold. Ia 1883 the number OF national
bank repositories was 40, and this WAS
the highest they had been for many years
10 1885. when Cleveland came into office.
there were l3a repositories. In 1856 they
were increased to 100, In 1887 to 200, and
In 1855 to 800. At the same
time the government deposits
were increased from ela,aO ,4sa, in
1885, to e4,sl3, 4ss In 1855. Dur.
Ing Cleveland's term the number of de-
posttories was more than doubled, and the
government deposits were quintupled.
