Two Gallant Grand Army Men.

TWO Gallant Grand Army Men.
WHAT GENERALS sLoCUM AND sICRLEs
SAID ABOUT THE PRESIDENTIAL CAM
PAIGN.
Much comment has been provoked
by some of the expressions reported
to have been used by several promi-
nent eX-soldiers at the erecent national
encampment of the Grand Army of
the Republic in Washington, which
expressions are by some persons con-
strued to have a political bearing.
| No such construction is admissible or
true to any utterance in the official
meetings of the Grand Army of the
Republic, or by any officer of that
body in his official capacity. IL is
not a political organization in any
party sense; among it's members are
Republicans, Democrats, third party
men and Prohibitionists.
Among the most prominent and re-
spected members of the Grand Army
of the Republic who attended the re-
cent encampment were General Daniel
+. Sickles and General Henry W. Slo,
cum; and exception has been taken
by Democrats who are not eligible to
membership in the organization to
certain remarks reported TO have
been made by them, on the ground
that the utterances were in violation
of one of its tenets. There is no
ground whatever for this criticism.
What was said by these soldiers and
patriotic men were no ordinary par
tisan declaration: neither Of them
invaded in the slightest degree the
requirements and privileges of the
Grand Army of the Republic, and for
what they said they received the al
most unanimous approval of their
comrades. Naturally, the desire to
know just what General Slocum and
General Sickles did say about the
Presidential contest is strong and
eager. All that they said cannot be
reported: but a Tribune correspond
ent is permitted to give one sentence
from each which fairly indicates the
tenor of the whole.
General Slocum said: "I would
like to know how any soldier can
vote for two men, both drafted on
the same day, against man who
served his country as Loyalty as
Harrison did in the time of peril?"
General Sickles: "No man will
ever be elected to the Presidency of
this country who has insulted the
soldiers when speaking on the ques-
tion of pensions.

A Portuguese boy in a public school
at Malacca was told TO write a COM
position telling all he knew about
the English. This is what he wrote:
English is very proud and very
white. They are mostly governors,
schoolmasters and policemen and a
few lawyers and doctors and banks
and many other things. They wear
hats and boots and ride in ndog-carts.
Some English goes to church but
only once. They are clever tennis

brandy and other things. Some are
married. One of their great delights

One perfect day in late August a

painfully up very steep, high hill

was led by tall and dignified lady,
who wore eyeglasses. On the top OF
the hill was a meadow, back of which,
in a clump of trees, stood the rough

From the six children of various

All up and down in shadow-town
The shadow children GO
o. i u every street you re -IiTe to meet
Them running to aHd T~o.
They move around without n sound,
They play at hide-and-seek,
But no one yet that | have met
Has ever heard them speak.
Beneath the tree you often see
Them dancing in and out,
And in the sun there's always one
To follow you about.
Go where you will, he follows still,
Or sometimes runs before,
And, home at last, you'll find him fast
Beside you at the door.
A faithful friend is he to lend
His presence everywhere;
Blow out your light-to bed at night
Your shadOw-mate is there!
Then he will call the shadows all
Into your room to leap,
And such pack they make it black,
And fill your eyes with sleepl

OF wild vine and lOWly flower, but alas,
her loving kindness makes only more
palpable the absence of art and care.
These sharp contrasts only serve to make
us appreciate still more the beauty and
peace which come with the flowers.
When visited the cemetery at Antietam,
with the soldiers from Maine who had
been to Gettysburg to dedicate their mon
uments, some thoughtful soul, with a
true appreciation of the occasion, had
laid freshly cut flower on each of the
two hundred and sixty graves of the boys
from the Pine Tree State. On the sunny
hills of Antietam, no traces remain of the
conflict where in one day six thousand men
went down to the harvest of death. Even
the trenches where the southern dead were
thrown, fifty in place, are now grassy
and the daisies bloom unmolested. 1t is
the mission of the flowers to bring peace
and balm to wounded hearts, therefore
the custom of strewing the soldiers graves,
meets with universal favor. And as the
years go on, and the long mounds, above
which the little tri-colored flag droops,
increased interest in the custom.
If we should see the remnant of the men
who made the charge at Balaklava march
ing along our streets, do you not think
every hat would be dotted in recognition
of what they were? Yet every Memorial
Day men fall into the line of Wilcox Post,
| who stood five more terrible charges than
that of Balaklava.
1t will not be long before the men OF the
hating gait and the empty sleeve will dis
appear from our midst. The voices whicl
have sung John Brown ''Tenting To
night and ''Marching thro' Georgia.

In sad-colored gown, as demure as nun,

Their lives and their pleasures would peace

But swiftly she turned with her cheeks in
flame:
why speak We of peace or of pleasure
for shame
While Others go forth for our country to

Said the patriot maid in that summer gone
by.
There is hloodshed and famine abroad in
the land:

Go fight for the rose-girdled cottage-and
