They Want Only Their Dues.

The Ne,O York Epoch says: A
really honest and thorough inquiry into
the workings of our pension laws would
be most valuable contribution to the
knowledge which the American people
ought to have of their own affairs"
Precisely. That is just what the veter-
ans desire. They do not want dol
lar that does not honestly belong to
them, and they will welcome any hon
est investigation of the Bureau of Pen
sions and its workings. They want the
investigation made as thorough aud
searching as possible, aud every fact
laid before the public. They are GER
tain that such an examination will show
that, instead of their receiving more
than they are entitled to, they are re-
ceiving vastly less, and that that has
been withheld from them for an uncon-
scionably long time. But what they do
not want and will not submit to is a
wicked, partisan and villainous effort
to blacken and defame the whole pen
sion system, and malign everybody who
applies for or receives pensions, or
who is instrumental in helping veterans
get their rights. National Tribune.

A Fine Battle Picture.

Suddenly, shrill and clear, the bugle
sounded the Garde vOuS, and tremor
shook the two regiments. The swear
ing and grumbling ceased, and dead
silence seemed to fall on the ranks.
The men swung themselves into the
saddle, refined their horses into line,
and waited. A few officers galloped
along the front, an order passed down
the line, and the mounted on-breasted
mass moved forward out of the shadow
into the sun. AS of their own accord,
the squadron deployed and again waited.
A staff officer rode down the front and
waved his kepi
"Boysl" he cried, "the country needs
you. You are going to charge. Ahead
of you are ten thousand bayonets, glory,
and death. Behind you, our shattered
right wing. You must save them, cost
what it may. Good-by, boys Go il as
your fathers did at Waterloo"
A voice answered from the ranks,
I" ALI right, general We haven't for
gotten how the old fellows charged"
The next moment the hoarse cry of
Vive Ia Frdncei rang from twelve hun
dred throats.
And then again there was a pause.
Several horsemen wheeled into place in
their respective positions. A half
Ineligible order rippled through the
ranks. The bugle sounded. The lines
oscillated, and instinctively the squad
rons chose their ground. The front
moved ahead, and the long diagonal
shrank into column. Then again they
halted for moment, and the first bull
lets, fred from too great distance to
do any harm, rang against the steel
cuirasses with dull, swinging, melan-
cholv sound.
Saint Brissac reached over and shook
Sargent's hand-and they were off.
Twelve hundred swords flashed from
their scabbards and cast bar sinister

the FURNISHED cuirasses; and the long

Doubtless many persons think that
the song Dixie" was composed by
some Southerner during the war. AS
a matter of fact, the music was written
by a Northerner. The confederate
bands adopted it, and played it in def
ance of the Union soldiery. Then the
Yankee bands took it up and hurled it
back at them in dersion. A member
of the Stonewall brigade writes: 81
have lain in camp on very many occa-
sons and been lulled to sleep by the
tune of "Dixie." as played by the
bands of the Union army across the
river. Professor Turner, leader of our
brigade band, invariably played Hail
Columbia or some other national air
in response to the Union bands rendi-
ton Of Dixie or Bonnie Blue Flag
These musical duels were hugely en-
joyed by all confederates, and presum-
ably so by the rank and file of the
Union army"
Dixie" appears not only to have
been played by the Union bands, but
words set to the music of "Dixie {"
were sung by the Union soldiers, if the
testimony of collection published in
1864 of songs sung by the Union sol.
diers is to be believed.

His Excuse.

Aubrey had serious objections to
chopping wood. There are many boys
like him, suppose. When he was
called upon for the work he always
found plenty of excuses, and the family
had learned all the old ones so thor
oughly that he had sometimes to rack
his brain for new supply.
Aubrey said his mother one day,
ego cut few pieces of wood, There
are plenty of large pieces to cut. Your
lame foot is well, and you haven't had
toothache since last week. You
needn't change your shoes, for you
have got on old ones. And the ak is
behind the cellar door. / saw it there
five minutes ago"
5"Now, mother" said Aubrey, in an
injured tone, "have you looked at that
AK? How do you suppose l can cut
wood with an ak that has an edge like
the coast-line of North America?"-

Tanning a Shrew.

A certain woman of fashion conspic-
uous in the society of city not thou
sand miles from Washington, whose
inirmity of temper has given rise TO
very interesting gossip occasionally,
figures in quaint little story that is at
present going the rounds. A short
time ago she was entertaining at sup
per lady of her acquaintance, when
it CHANGED that there was placed upon
the table small pot of chocolate. The
hostess of the occasion was very fond of
the beverage in question, partaking of
it every evening of her life. Unfortu-
nately the servant had neglected to
make more than the usual quantity,
which was just about sufficient for a
single cup. Accordingly, when the
guest was asked if she would have
some, she hesitated a moment and said
no. Whereupon her entertainer flushed
with anger at the contretemps, and
rising from her seat, deliberately poured
the contents of the chocolate pot out of
the window. This was embarrassing
for the lady entertained, to say the
least of it. OF course, however, she
pretended to take no notice, merely
gancing at her host, who made the
third party at the repast, to see If he
evidenced any consciousness respecting
the proceeding. But he only smiled
slightly beneath his mustache and
made no remark. Presently he asked
her if she would have some chicken
salad, of which big dishful made the
principal feature among the viands.
"Thank you, no." she replied, merely
because she had a preference for some
thing else. Immediately, as if it were
quite matter of course, the host picked
up the chicken salad and threw it, dish
and all, out through the window into
the garden. cts way we have
here" he remarked, calmly. Nobody
said anything for quite five minutes
afterward, but the extreme amiability
exhibited by the hostess for the rest of
the evening led the visitor to imagine
that the lesson thus given after the
manner of Petruchio was not without
certain domestic usefulness. Wash

The Death OF POlygamy.

There are probably 100000 Mormons
in Utah territory; but of that number
many are only nominally so. Amid the
contentious between them and the
Gentiles, many have sided with the
church, in which are their parents, rela-
tives and friends, without embracing
it's faith. 1t is idle now to think of
DISTINGUISHING the Latter-day Saints.
They are an industrious, temperate peo-
pie, as a rule; and my observation has
led me to believe that they are law
abiding since the church took its stand
under the law against plural marriages.
| am aware that now and then individu-
ais will report violations of that law
since the manifesto; but upon invest
cation, such charges are seldom sus-
tanned. 1t would be strange if there
were no breaches of it; there are some
such cases among non Mormons. 1 dc
not believe that such marriages have
been authorized or sanctioned by the
officers of the Mormon church since
the Notwithstanding Charles S. Zane,

General Sherman and the
COlOr.Guard.

No doubt most boys and girls have
met with the words " serving the flag ~;
but dare say that few of them know
how literally the phrase expresses the
sentiments of army and navy officers.
They do not talk much about it usually;
but they have, away down in their
hearts, deep veneratiOn for their
country's colors; and they do what they
can to impress the feeling on the men
who serve under them.
l read in newspaper not long ago
an interesting anecdote of that splendid
old soldier and gentleman, General
Sherman.
newspaper correspondent that when he
was cadet General Sherman visited
the post, and, of course, reviewed the
battalion. " was in the color-guard,"
said the officer, "and when the general,
passing down the line, came to the flag,
he uncovered his head, bowed low, and
his face wore an expression of deepest
reverence. This act of veneration by
the stern old soldier taught us cadets
lesson that we can never forget"
Boys who have attended military
schools will know what the color-guard
IS; but perhaps some OF my young
readers will not know. The color
guard is a small body of picked men,
sergeants and corporals chiefly, who
are stationed on each side of and be-
hind the color-sergeant. The color
guard never leaves the flag in action,
and never does any fighting until the
last reserves are called upon. Their
business is to stand by the flag and pre-.
vent it from falling into the hands of
the enemy.
Aboard ship, one. of the things that
used to be done in the good old days of
wooden frigates was to nail the colors
to the mast. Hauling down the colors
in naval fight is the sign of surren-
der. When they are nailed to the
mast they cannot be hauled down; the
mast must be shot away, or the vessel
sunk, before the colors can be lowered.

Pretty Lamp-Lighters.

To make sweet pea lamp-lighters of
tissue papers, use pink, purple and
white papers, cut the sheets once across
and then into inch. wide strips. Roll
each strip around knitting-needle
nearly to the end of the needle, slip out
the needle, round the end of the strip
of paper to point, fold through the
centre, take hair-pin and run the point
down the centre of the fold, crimping
the paper up on the inside of the hair
pin, press all together closely in the
bend of the hair-pin and let it slide
around and off the end of the pin.
This will make curled end of paper
somewhat resembling sweet-pea.

Sir Walter ScOtt's Testimony.

The following "Reminiscences of Sir
Walter Scott is taken from the SUNDAY
at Home:
"The late DIR. John Kennedy of
Dingwall was a delegate to the English
Presby terian Synod held in Liverpool
in April, 1876. During his stay he was
a guest in my house. His conversation
was rich in Scottish story. One point
of great interest will give as nearly as
| can in his own words:
"'I called on DIR. Macintosh Mackay
at his house in Dunoon, few months
before his death. | was ushered into
his library, and noticed bookcase filed
with Sir Walter Scott's works in all the
pomp of library edition and morocco
binding. 1 said: "You seem to be a
great admirer of Sir Walter" I" am"
said DIR. Mackay. "He was my dear
friend on earth, and 1 hope to spend a
happy eternity with him. You know
he invited me to spend a few days with
him before he went to Italy. l arrived
on Saturday, and Sir Walter told me
there would be service in the drawing
room the next morning. He asked me
if would preach on our Lords Divin-
ity, as there were some in his house
who doubted it. Next day l preached
as he requested. After service, Sir
Walter asked me to 90 to the woods
with him, and be his Sunday pony in.

soon wearied, and sat down on the

well to my dear friend Sir Walter, and,
