among the wreckage OF the battle, on the field
of conflict, doing all that a one-armed man
could do 10 aid the disabled and distressed Ii

A Sad Case.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: What amount
of pension can repay man or his family, when
that man, while prisoner at Andersonyille,
contracted an incurable, loathsome disease by
living on vermin and the scant and rotten
rations there furnished2 Add to this the fact
that through the cruelty and abuse Of those
having charge Of the prison tho ex prisoner
has been made moral as well as physical
wreck-a being without honesty, sobriety or
moral strength. What amount of pension can
repay for such wretched disability as this? Wo
have just such case here and his pension Is
81 per month. Doubtless If he had more no
would only abuse himself more. and the only
way to make his pension benefit TO his family
