man named Carter held 8 commission in thst
regiment. After decent period of mourning
she tried her fortunes with another soldier
Capt. Robinson but her i'll luck still pursued
her, he being killed at Spottsylvania. She says
she mournod - years, and in 1873 married
Henry Cathcart Here is another discrepancy.
If she mourned 10 years she could not have
married in 1873, because the battle Of Spottsyl-
vania was fought in 1864, or only nine years
prior to 1873. But let that pass. We cannot
be too particular as to dates and numbers with
a woman who is bowed down under the grief
Of five widowhOods and two divorces. Cath
cart proved TO be a bad citizen, and was soon
sentenced to three years in the penitentiary
for signing another mans name. Accepting
the divorce which this sentence gave her she
married the brother Of her first husband-Yan
Bibber-but he was soon killed by runaway
horse. Her last venture was with a merchant
of Lapeer-Frederick Obehlau. She is repre-
sented to be quite handsome, intellectual
woman, on the sunny side Of so, and generally
respected. She must be an unusually attract
i've woman to tempt man to play into such a
run of luck as she has been having with her
previous husbands.

OUR NATIONAL WEALTH.

Think of the boundless wealth which the
services and sacrifices of the soliliers-the
blood and valor of the Veterans for
this country. Had they not fought as boldly
and persistently as they did-had so late
as the third or fourth year of the war they
wearied of the enormous slaughter, the un-
beard-of sacrifices they were compelled to
make-this country. instead of now being
the richest in the world, would be one of
the poorest, for it would be divided mp into a
lot of Earring little Confederacies, constantly
at war with each other, supporting wealth
devouring standing armies, and wasting
their energies in defending themselves from
each other. We should be in the same con-
ditlon as Germany in the past century, when
in place of the present grand consolidated Ma
ton, it was divided into 400 petty little Gov
ernments, each with its army, its custom
houses, its independent rulers, and their ex-
travagantcourts. With all their industry and
frugality the Germans were then indescrib-
ably poor. They only began to be wealthy
when they were consolidated under one
Government The census of 1860 showed
our wealth, including the value of
3S53,760 slaves, to be $40, 159 616,O6S. The
census of 1870, estimating in depreci-
ated paper currency of the time, placed
the sum of our wealth ut $30,06S, 51s,-
507. Making the deduction for the in
flsted currency, this would be an increase OF,
say, so per cent. in spite of the ravages Of
war and the destruction of the value of slave
property. In 1880 the aggregate was placed
at $43,6i2, 100000 In the preceding decade
the wind had been squeezed out of the in
flated values by the panic of 1873. The
coming census will show an aggregate of
about S65, 900, 100000 This is four times the
total wealth prior to the war, and is greater
than Was The entire tueath Of tho cirilized
World at the beginning Of the present century.
In view of these facts how mean it is to
begrudge a slender pension to the men who
made NIL this possible, and without whose
selEsacrifce none of il could have been.
