of New Mexico and the surrounding coun-
try.

As stock is liable to stray it is desirable
for owners to have their brands widely

In order to have brands widely known
they must be well advertised.

CANADIAN PENSIONS.
A Striking Contrast with Her Southern xsishbc

A Striking Contrast with Her Southern NaighborS
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: l have been
much pleased at the sta0d taken by THE Ma
TIoNAL TRIBUNE in the matter of pensions to
our crippled veterans, and cannot help COM
pairing the liberaity of Canada as regards those
who have been injured ordisabled in the petty
disturbances she has had to deal with, with
that of this great and wealthy Nation after a
bloody war, on the successful issue of which its
very existence depended. The comparison is
one which should put every true American to
the blush.
The annual report Of the Canadian Minister
of Militia for 1883 contains the following
items: Paid during the year ending Dec 81 to
the rs pensioners Of the Northwest rebellion
Of 1885, So, 1880 being an average of Sis. IL
toeach. During the year 10new pensioners were
added TO the rolls, and the following are the
rank, disabilities and rates of pension allowed /:
Captain, varicose ulcers on ankle, $500 per
annum; Lieutenant, injured in head by rear
ing of horse, $3.50 per annum; Sergeant, injury
to leg, % cents per day; Corporal, pneumonia,
6o cents per day; private, gunshot wound in
arm near shoulder, 80 cents per day private,
pleurisy, % cents per day; trooper injury to
leg by fall of horse, 80 cents per day private,
gunshot wound, compound fracture right arm,
% cents per day; private, lung disease from
exposure, 90 cents per day; private, Theuma-
tism aud hemorrhoids, So cents per day. More
than half our pensioners get less than - cents
per day.
In addition to the foregoing, gratuties were
paid to eight men for injuries and disabilities
OF a less serious character than those for which
pensions were granted, amounting to $4,231 30,
equivalent to bounty OF 1928 SO to each per-
son in lieu of pension. Pensions were also
paid to % volunteers wounded or injured dur
ing the Fenian raids, amounting to 81, 963 go,
an average OF $215S1 each. While these totals
may appear small as compared with the mil
lions paid by our Government, it should also be
remembered that the number of men is small,
and 1T Is the amount per man that tells the
story of whether they are justly dealt with or
not.
The Montreal FITNESS is authority for the
statement that 100000 acres of land have been
donated to the volunteers who served in the
Northwest rebellion, which, as their number
was comparatively small, would amount to a
good-sIzed farm for each. Our boys used to
sing " Uncle Sam is rich enough to give rs all
farm" but though he has given homes so
many thousands of his soldiers, their size has
been small, only six feet by two. When a
country like Canada, with its large and con-
mountaineering public debt, can afford to be
SO liberal, ought not country like ours, with
its millions of surplus revenue be even just
to its patriotic defenders?-" VERMONT" Bur-

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Truth is one,
but error is multifarious," as the old Jew said.
When Gen. Lee was browsing around on North
ern soil in June, 1863, the Army of the Potomac
was in pursuit. The Second Brigade, First
Division, Fifth Corps, when within four or five
miles of Frederick, Nd, was halted and went
into camp for part of day and one night
The writer got permission to visit the town,
and was furnished mule to ride by our regi-
mental mule whacker. The animal was
equipped and brought around. l was kindly
given a spur, with the suggestion that / might
need it. / mounted the quadruped and moved
out into the highway. We moved along
proudly and gracefully for a short distance,
when, by sudden stitfening of my steed's
front APPENDICES and an upheaval of his rear,
/ was landed 10 feet over that mules head to
the front, on all-fours my proboscis in the
sand, to its great disagreement. / looked
around. The animal stood there laughing at
me. | was mad and swore to ride that mule
or get dumped again. | accordingly straddled
him, socked the spur into him, and we mean
dered toward our destination at a great speed.
Suddenly that creature bucked. I sailed over
his head the mule went on, and as he passed
playfully kicked ont at me and, with a shake
of the head, lit out for the town. gathered
myself up TO a perpendicular position, and
painfully plodded on, thinking of the uncer-
tainties of life and unrealized hopes. l started
out fondly expecting to ride that mule into the
city, but alas! l arrived at my destination
tired and crestfallen. A comrade had corraled
the insect-for he was very diminutive, and
round as dollar He was daisy. concluded
not to try to ride him back to camp. got a
comrade of Co. G, my regiment, to take him to
camp, for which service | gave him dollar, q
pound of tobacco aud drink thrown in. The
eomrade was of great altitude-six feet three
and when mounted.on that mule he could touch
the ground with his toes. Well, he mounted
and proceeded toward camp. lie told me after
ward that the mule tried the buck game three
or four times, and every time he walked over the
animals head. / stayed in town all night, had
a fst-fight, got worsted, and in the morning
some 90 of us chartered q livery. 1t was an
old Democrat wagon, and was SO long that in
order to make one hear sitting on the front seat
from the hind end one had to yell his loudest.
We reached camp just as the bugle sounded

and had it not been for lack of time and the

Telephone.
According to a French paper which has
! interviewed Thomas A Edison in Paris
the inventor is at work on a machine
which VIII enable a man at one end of q

! end to whom he is speaking. Mr.. Edison
| says he sees no reason why his idea should
not become a reality, and that one of the
first things he proposes doing when he
gets back to America will be to set up
this wonderful contrivance between his
laboratory and his telephone workshop
The electrician claims that he has al
ready obtained satisfactory results IN re-
producing images at distance of 1000
feet. To reproduce them. however, at a
distance of 1000 miles would not be pos
sible on account of the round form of4the
earth.
On the subject of the monograph, Mr.
Edison said that it had almost reached It's
highest degree of perfection.
"'YOu must know he explained,
''that the ordinary monograph en-
ployed in commerce does not begin to
