The fifer is one of those tall, gaunt. rawboncd men of the hill country. He may be only fifty, or he may be seventy years of age.

If you can't find time to leave your work or your business, why just take time anyway and come Why, if there were to be nothing else to sec but Sheridan's cavalry, you should come.

Especial Washington Letter.l


 Sound the loud timbrel, exultingly sing; the long war is over, the soldier is king He comes not with royal pomp and panoply; nor. carries he booty and jewels He Is clad neither in purple nor fine linen No prisoner-slaves are chained to his chariot wheels. He is regal only in the hearts of loyal and united people. Here In the national capital he reigns as no potentate ever reigned. His scepter is the olive branch, and his crown Is commingled gratitude and love.

waters of the Potomac and the Rio Grande; sleep there In order that this government of the people, by the people and for the people might not fade from the earth. And yet, their wifely and motherly hearts picture again and again the blaring bands, the steady steps and manly bearing of each com pany and regiment that went to the front. The cry was: ''On to Richmond" i" but before they got to that objective point many poor fellow fell to rise no more. Lips were sealed in sudden death and voices stilled which had but recently been singing:
 "Just before the battle, mother,
 am thinking, dear, of you,
 While upon the field we're marching
 With the enemy in view.
 Farewell, mother, you may never
 Press me to your heart again:
 But oh, youm not forget me, mother.
 If I'm numbered with the slain" Of them, rather than of all others loved and lost in this generation, 1t may most truly be said that ''they are gone but not forgotten" Their memo ries are ever green in the hearts of home. They are the charter members of the Grand Army above; and, if there is the possibility of an aristocracy in Heaven, those dear dead boys in blue have seats nearest the Great White Throne, where their royal rank can best be recognized by all There is grand army post here from Illinois, and they have a splendid octette; not of cultured voices, but of natural singers. They are all gray boards now; and one of them is sight less, while another wears an empty sleeve. But how they can sing the old war songs, and how they do draw crowds around their headquarters. They have just been moistening the eyes of two score listeners, singing 8 song, whose last verse was this: "We've been fighting to-day on the old camp
 ground,
 Many are lying near.
 Some are dead, and some are dying,
 Many are in tears
 Many are the hearts that are weary tonight
 Wishing for the war to cease. Many are the hearts looking for the right
 To see the dawn of peace
 Tenttng tonight; tenting tonight; tenting on
 the old camp groundsl" am not soft.hearted, nor sentiment tai: but when those old soldiers of the legion sang that song. must confess to the shedding of few unbidden tears. l couldn't help thinking of dear old Belknap; and of McPherson; and Lytle. Poor boys; dear hearts, how they used to warm towards the boys who are still here, singing the old songs they used to sing, in chorus sweet and clear. Who can be ashamed oi such tears2
 Do you remember the old flies and drums: those barrel drums, nearly two feet long? used to try to carry one ot them and play upon 1t, while Fifer Xiii. martin, of the Burlington zouaves, in the old First Iowa infantry, played ''The Girl Left Behind Me" Well, here are some of the old boys, just coming in on the Pennsylvania

A Newspaper Mans Impression of the
West.
Editor d. G. Boyer, of the HERALD, has
journeyed as far us Cleveland, Ohio, on his
western trip, after pleasant visits to
Elmira and Buffalo. Writing from the
former place Mr.. Boyer says that a drive
through Buffalo with Mr.. Harry Bonney
resulted in a revelation. Buffalo, he says,
has had a wonderful growth during the
past fifteen years. The city seems to be
the starting point and terminus for all
railroads, and the shipping business on the
lakes and canals is immense. Everything
except coal is cheap there, much cheaper
than the same articles are in Schuylkill.
The city is a paradise for ticket scalpers
For squares there is a scalper's office in
almost every other house and tickets for
almost any point may he secured at a great
reduction. Asphalt is being placed on the
streets in place Of Belgian blocks. Mr..
Boyer predicts that Buffalo will at no
distant day rank among the first beautiful
and populous cities of the Union. During
his stay in Cleveland Mr.. Boyer had ample

26-l5. THE North increased in wealth,
population and spirit of progress; the
South remained stationary. Her mines
remained undeveloped, her rivers, filed
with the grestest water power in the world,
remained unfettered by mills or factories.
For years the North hoped against hope
that the South would awaken to the blight
and curse of slavery. History will never
honor JEFF. Davis. We are willing to
recognize the courage and valor of the
Confederate soldiers; we can give them all
credit for the education of the times, for
the passions and feelings of the hour;
nevertheless, it will remain true that the
South sought to destroy the best govern
ment the world has ever known. Men
were rot slow in recognizing the
true inwardness of the contest.
As early as 1862 the freedom of the slaves
