Reinstating Dropped Members.

After commenting the desire of the COM
manders national, department and post, and
other Grand Army workers, to win back ex-
members and citing reasons for the dropping
out of comrades, a Philadelphia paper asks:
"How can such dropped members be induced
to return to the Grand Army?'
1t then continues: "It mas been suggested
that the Department Encampment at Altoona
would do well TO formulate an amendment to
the rules and regulations and to submit it to
the Detroit National Encampment which
should provide that all comrades who have
been dropped for non-payment of dues and
years. be allowed to join any post without being
reinstated in the one they were dropped from,
the same as new members. This would no
doubt add hundreds to he Grand Army in this
city, and thousands to the order generally"

Grand Army of the Republic more apparent
than on Christmas. All over the country

phans. soldiers widows and unfortunate old
soldiers themselves will be made glad
through the noblest order ever formed. Be
reft orphans of soldiers will on Christmas in
many homes in different States, shout for
Joy over some kind remembrance from the
comrades of their fathers. Old soldiers and
soldiers widows will be remembered In a
substantial way. This. however, is only an
outward indication OF the great work the
Grand Army is doing. Shame on the man

stockings for the boyU, 81 in number, and
dress pattern of the best merino goods, shoes
and stockings for the girls, So in number,
72 in all this year. In addition each one re-
ceives box OF candies, orange and banana.

to deserving widows of honorably discharged
soldiers who have died within the last few
years in the immediate neighborhood of the

rades of Post l2S and their friends will go to
Uniontown and visit the Soldiers Orphan

Contrary to expectations the order of the De-

ceived last week.
The January installations this time will prob
ably be made under the old ritual, to which the
last National Encampment ordered a return

was hitch somewhere and there is now some

Comrade ratem, of Post SO, Surprised.

Post IS treated another of its members to a
delightful surprise last Tuesday evening. For
a long time Comrade Thomas Tatem has been
unable to attend post meetings on account of
his disabilities, which force him to go about in
a wheel chair. His wife entered into a con-
spiracy with some of tie comrades and COM
plete surprise on Comrade Tatem was the re-
suit. He was astounded when his comrades
filed into the room, and he asked what he had
done for which he should be courtmartialed
Explanations followed and the fun commenced.
A pleasant social evening was spent, and an ex-
cellent supper enjoyed. Comrade Tatem now
knows that he is not forgotten by his post.

AN exhibition of the works of Messrs. Alex
ander Harrison, William L. Dodge and Charles
w. Sretson in the American Galleries, in New
York, is attracting much attention and diver
gent criticism. The CoHnle ctat Advertiser
says: 1T would require more than the wonted
faith in earnestness, ambition and even origin
ality to lessen ones dissatisfaction with the
display. Never before was such violent work
shown in the American art galleries The i'm
pressionists were sufficiently aggressive, but
they were scarcely so bewilderinC as are Messrs.
Dodge, Harrison and StetsOn" The Times
from a first glance round the gallery is that Of
a colorist bold beyond the ordipary: some paint
ings have q crude look that startles and at first
disposes one to cTiticise. On a more careful
examination this passes away, as it does with
the paintings of Delacroix, and the power Of
the newcomer asserts control. 1t is broad
painting as Il rule but the boldDess is justified
by the results" And of the other artis,s repre-
sented the paper speaks favorably. 1t was ever
thus.

ABOUT IRISH LEADERS.

Our esteemed contemporary, the
Times, the other day, passed rather
peculiar not to say biased Judgment on
the Irish race, viz, that it produced
good fighters but no leaders 1t is
really astonishing how much fiippancy
may be thrown into paragraph. The
fact is that the Irish have always pro-
duced redundancy of leaders, both in
their own country and abroad. At the
present day the leading generals of the
armies of Great Britain and Ireland are
Irishmen. We allude to Generals
Wolseley and1 Roberts. Arthur Welles-
ley. Duke of Wellington, was an Irish
man. Marshal MacMahon, the hero of
many immortal battles, and the presi-
dent of the French Republic, was the
direct descendant of an Irishman So
was Marshal O'Donnell, who ruled
Spain for years. The list of leaders of
Irish blood. beth in the camp and the
cabinet, could be increased indefinitely.
Grattan and Flood were accounted
no inconsiderable leaders in their
day and generation. AS to Edmund
Burke, his splendid craftsmanship was
universally acknowledged and, in addi-
ton, Lord Macaulay, in his essay on
Warren Hastings, calls him not only the
greatest orator of ancient or modern
times, but greater than all of them put
together. William Ewart Gladstone
pronounced O'Connell the greatest trib-
une that ever lived. Sir E. Bulwer
Lytton spoke substantially to the same
purport. There were few greater polit-
ical leaders of his day than Richard
Brinsley Sheridan. The historian Glib
bon described his speech in the Warren
Hastings trial as absolutely incompara-
BILE, and Lord Byron said of this brilliant
Irishman that he had made the best
speech, written the best play and COM
posed the best opera of any man of his
day. If such men are not leaders it
would be hard to find any one deserving
such a title. History is crowded with
them, and the history OF the United
States particularly. They are as thick
as leaves in Vallambrossa strewn, or as
huckleberries on a mountain hillside in

A Bows shocking Death.

PORTLAND, Ore, Dec, 23.-News has
reached here of the shocking death,
near Clatskanine, Columbia county, Of
Bennie, the 12-year-old son of George
Kelly OF St. Helens. The boy was rid
ing along country road in company with
John Carroll. Bennie tied the end OF
the halter rope around his waist. The
horse took fright at flock OF wild geese
and ran away, throwing the lad. Be-
fore the horse could be stopped, he ran
some distance, dragging the boy and
kicking him about the head. His body
was shockingly mangled, and before he
could be detached from the animal, he
was dead.
