Degradation by Pensions.

Only those may speak with free dom
and by authority on the subject of the
disgrace of our pension legislation, in
whose name and for whose benefit pen
sion laws have been enacted. have
earned the right to speak. l stood in
the ranks, a loyal volunteer, in 1861,
and heard the Kissing balls when the
first guns were fired at the skirmish of
B'ackburn's Ford, three days before
the battle of Bull Run. l marched
with my company at the last grand re-
view at Washington, in 1865. l lost
not day from service between those
dates, except when disabled by wound
received at the battle of Fair Oaks. No
man can say of me that | am not with
those who demand pensions for LOYAL
service, because did not serve or did
not suffer. 1 have written my record
with my blood. l am not with the
mercenary horde who demand pensions
for duty done, because my loyalty is
not, and never was, for sale. What
would be a just basis for pensions? In
forming the legislation of the country,
the clam oring of the dishonorable should
not be considered When The pension
roll is relieved of all those who are not
in need, and all who ere willing to earn
a living if fitting opportunity is found
for them, those that re main will be only
The very few who can, under the most
favorable circumstances that can be
found for them, earn only partly
enough to SUPP ort then selves in COM
fort; those who can do nothing towards
their own support; and those who can
earn nothing, and who periodically re.
quire the aid and attendance of other
persons. To each of these classes
abundance should be given. No hon
orable person will for an instant with
hold from such as they the full sympa-
thy and support which are their due.
When the pension-roll has been 80
sifted, some dregs may be left-moral
and ply wrecks who have reached
The lowest depths of degradation, and
are unworthy of consideration, except
as paupers. / am of the opinic that a
close canvass of all loyal volunteers will
result in securing the active support of
at Il asst hundred thousand real vet T.
ans for such reform of the pension
laws as will change The legal basis of
the claim from Support by manual
labor " to impairment Of earning capa-
city, and, further, provide that no
claimant shall receive payments when
not in need or while earning a comfort
able living by public or private employ
ment. More than this, l believe that,
when the reasons for and the nature of
the reform demanded are once properly
understood, large numbers of loyal VOL
unteers who are now receiving pension
payments that they accept as an hon
Orable expression of the nations graft
tude and appreciation (but who are not
in need) will willingly see their pen
sion certificates Cancelled, rather than
allow their honorable service to be used
as cover for pensioning the dishon-
orable and undeserving. -Lieutenant

Bravest OF the Brave.

Comrades, in what soldier grave
Sleeps the bravest Of the brave;
Was 1t he who sank to rest
with his colors round his breast?
Friendship makes his tomb shrine,
Garlands veil task not mine,
One low grave yon trees beneath
Bears no roses, wears no wreath.
Yet no heart more high and warm
Ever dared the battle storm,
Never foot had firmer tread,
On the field when hope lay dead
Than are hid within this tomb
Where the INTENDED grasses bloom,
And no stone, with feigned distress,
Mocks the sacred loneliness.
Youth and beauty, dauntless will,
Dreams that life could ne'er fulfil,
Here lie buried here In peace
Wrongs and woes have found release.
Turning from my comrades eyes,
Kneeling where woman lies,
strew lilies on the grave
OF the bravest of the brave.

prises.
Coal and iron and the rich agricul
tural lands of the section have con
tributed to the growth.

and eight miles of street railway inside
the corporate limits. A dummy line ex
east, and to Salem, six miles west
Throughout the city electricity, in
short time, will take the place of horse

The water works are sufficient to fuI
nish city of $4,000 inhabitants. TIL
supply comes from a pure, cold sprin
that gushcs from the side of Mill mour
tain, and is without equal in any cit
I'm the country. 1t is undoubtedly
specific for many forms of kidney di:

Balzac and Berthet.

Balzac, the great French novelist, once re.
ceived a lesson in good manners from
younger, less distinguished associate. The
hint came with good grace from the younger
man, Ellie Berthet, because it was deserved,
and because Berthet himself was person OF
courteous manners and gentle and amiable
disposition. Berthet had written some
romances which became SO popular, and he
30 distinguished himself in journalistic work,
as to become an assistant editor of The Steele.
AS the assistant of M. Desnoyers, the edi.
tor of The Steele, he had been introduced to
Balzac. But though Balzac had many inter-
views with M. Desnoyers, and was often in
the Office he never paid the slightest atten-
ton to Berthet. He did not even speak or
bow to the young novelist.
One day Balzac took some copy to The
Steele office, and was greatly disturbed be-
cause M. Desnoyers, whom he wished to see,
was out.
Soon after he left the Office he met Ellie Der.
tibet. He went up to the young man, and
ing him, touched him on the arm with one
finger and said:
"Ah you tell Desnoyers that have left
the copy at the Office"
Without second glance he turned away.
Berthet delivered the message and the edi-
tor replied:
II am not likely to forget it. He has sent
me word by three persons already"
Three days later Balzac and Berthet met
at about the same place. Berthet did not
take off his hat. He touched Balzac on the
arm with one finger and said:
"Ah he says you have sent him word by
three persons already"
Then he walked on.
