Notes from the Posts.

SIX boys of one Augusta, Maine,
family drew their pension r Gently,
they all having served through the late
civil war, being now gray-headed old
men.
AN old soldier in Chicago, who had
worn wooden leg since the war, had
the artificial limb crushed in a cable
car accident few months ago, and he
is now suing the company to recover
damages TO the amount of $4,000. He
insists that it was his good fortune that
the crushed leg was not a flesh and
blood one, and that the street railway
company can not claim any credit on
that account.
IT has been decided by the national
council of administration and the com
mander-in- chief, Colonel w. G.. Veazey,
to issue general order calling on all
the Grand Army posts in the United
States to assemble at their halls on the
evening of April 6, 1891, and hold com
memprative services in honor of the
twenty fifth anniversary of the ordina-
ton of the order. The great interest
will center at Decatur, Ill.,, where the
department of Illinois and members
from every state in the union will cele-
brate the occasion. Commander-in-
Chief Veazey and staff, all the past
commanders, and at least 20 900 of the
members of the order, will attend.

wealth of incident and humor will, I'M
doubtedly, be welcomed by American
novel-readers.

LincOln's Vision of the New South.

Once, as Mr.. Lincoln lay upon his ia
vorite lounge in the registers office,
whilst the register and his messenger
were engaged in their work, and, as he
liked them to do, paying no attention to
him, he broke into a magnificent out
burst-a word-painting of what the
South would do when the war was over,
slavery destroyed, and she had an OPP
portunity to develop her resources under
the benignant influence of peace.
Twenty years and more afterward this
scene flashed upon my memory with
the vividness of an electric light as
recognized the wordpicture of Mr.. Lin
coin in the following words of welcome
by an eloquent SOutherner to northern
delegation: g You are standing" he
said, sat this moment in the gateway
that leads to the South. The wealth
that is there, no longer hidden from
human eyes, flashes in your very faces.
You can smell the roses of new hope
that fill the air. You can hear the
heart-beats of progress that come as
upon the wings of heaven. You can
reach forth your hand and almost clntch
the gold that the sun rains down with
his beams, as he takes his daily journey
between the coal mine and the cotton
field; the highlands of wood and iron,
of marble and granite; the lowlands of
tobacco, of sugar and rice, of corn and
kline, of wine, milk and honey" Such
was the picture of the South presented
to the eye of Mr.. Lincoln's faith. |
have written this account largely from
personal knowledge, from what my
self saw and heard. 1t has been the re-
greet OF my subsequent life that | did not
at the time know how great man Mr..
Lincoln was; that / did not at the time
write out and preserve an account OF
many other things said and done by
him. This occurrence was an eXcep'
ton. i felt at the time that Mr.. Lin.
coin was revealing himself to me in a
new and elevated character, and | un
dertook to record the words in which
that revelation was made.-L. 70. Chit

Pats Device.

The graceful hint succeeds best, says
the Utica Times If it is also witty, it
is pretty sure to prove irresistible. Up
one of the long hills of County Wicklow
a mare was drawing a heavy load of
travellers. The driver walked by her
side, trying to encourage her as she
toiled slowly and YEARLY along.
The six passengers were too buslly
engaged in conversation to notice how
slowly the car progressed. Presently
the driver opened the door at the rear
of the car and slammed it to again.
Those inside started, but thought he was
only assuring himself that the door was
securely closed.
Again Pat opened and slammed to the
door. The travellers inquired angrily
why he disturbed them in that manner.
"Whist," he whispered, tdon't spake
so loud-she'll overhear u.s."
"Who?"
"The mare. Spake low," he con-
tinued, putting his hand over his mouth
and nose, Sure I'm desavin' the
crayture. Every time she hears the
door slammin' that way she thinks one
of vez is gettin' down to walk up the
hill and that raises her sperits."
The passengers took the hint.

Mr.

Andrew Lang has got into trouble
with his American admirers through
speaking of "Mr." Ruskin, "Mr.'
Carlvie, and "Mr." Matthew Arnold.
The privilege of great men. according
to these directors, is to lose the title
which less illustrious people retain;
but that seems to be only a matter OF
transatlantic feeling and custom. As
Mr.. Lang observes, our ancestors al
WAYS said "Mr. Addison" "Mr. Pope, !"
"Mr. Tckell,' and so forth, just as we
now say "NIr Gladstone" and "Mr.
Pitt" Some old-fashiened people even
continue to say "Mr. Burke" though
probably nobody has in recent times
been heard to say "Mr. Shakespeare, -
and 'Mr. Milton" probably appeared
for the very last time on Publisher
Tonson's traditional title-pages. Mr..
Lang begs to be excused from referring
to distinguished art critic and a cele-,
brated historian as "Ruskin" and
"Froude." Yet no doubt to this COM
ulexion we must come. What seems
wanted is some authoritative rule as to
the time and the conditions which
Justify our dropping the "Mr. LON

Grimalkin'S Downfall.

The Palace Hotel possesses a cat
which has long shown decided prefer
ence for one of mans most prominent
vices. says the San Francisco Chronicle.
This cat is an ordinary black and white
animal which answers to the name OF
Tom. He put up at the hotel about
five years ago and is supposed to have
been then between one and two years
of age. Soon after Tom was tempted
and fell.
From a sweet whisky punch, diluted
at first to be palatable to the delicate
feline taste, Tom rapidly increased
the strength of his tipDle until he drank
whisky straight in as large quantities as
he could obtain it. The result was that
Tom became confirmed topper and has
been one tor years.
During the latter part of every after
noon and every evening Tom is to be
found in the bar or billiard room of the
hotel, as if one Of the party. When
three or four men leave the billiard
room to 60 to the bar Tom follows with
them. He goes behind the bar and an
nounces els desire to drink by placing
his paws on the bartender's leg.
Tom quickly laps up his whisky, and !,
if it be his first drink of the day, will
60 to the lunch counter and demand to
be fed by purring and mewing. After
the meal Tom retires to the billiard
room, gets upon a seat and waits to be
petted. In a short time his desire for
drink returns, and he goes to the bar
and announces his presence If he be
not Immediately served.
This continues all night or until Tom
gets such Gag" on that it is all he can
do to walk straight. He will then try to
get upon seat, and if too drunk to do
that, with all the gravity of an intoxi-
Gated person will walk out Of the bill
lard room and, blear-eyed and unsteady
in his legs, will wander up through the
different floors of the hotel, sometimes
taking the elevator if climbing the
stairs is too tiresome for him.
When moderately sobered up he will
return to the bar for his "nightcap."
If given him he will disappear to some
sleeping place not to be seen again until
late the next day. If refused his
'nightcap" he becomes offended and
goes to the coal bin to sleep off his
spree, only to appear the next evening
looking very dirty and "rocky" and the
ianitor has job to Clean him up.

A FAMILY OF PIERS.

There are five members of the Piers
family in Milwaukee, father, mother,
and three daughters; all of them are
lawyers, too, and all of them have
made a speciality of some particular
branch of the profession. The mother
is United States Commissioner, while
Miss Caroline is one of the best au-
thorties on admiralty law in the West.
To be a successful pleader one must
have a good voice. Every lawyer
ought to take REDS GERMAN COUGH
AND KIDNEY CURE, and thereby be
able to talk not only long, but
without having the voice grow husky
Or mut1ed. This great remedy is the
best thing for public speakers, actors
and all persons who are forced to talk
great deal or to use the voice. If
properly attended to, the vocal organs
will last as long as any other part OF
the body. "REID's" contains no poi
son, and on this account there IS no
danger Of an overdose.
