EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUSE: The Department
of Massachusetts has had many excellent Chap
lans during its existence, but it has seldom had
one who has appreciated and improved his oppor-
tunity as does the present Department Chaplain,
William Carey Burrows. At Campfres, when
called upon, he disp"Hses advice and counsel of
broad and generous type urges the veterans to at
tend some church Christian soldiers worthy of
the cause for which they fought, and TO set good
examples in right living. He has just issued cir
cular to Post Chaplains urging action along their
lines. Such leadership will certainly be produc-
tive of much good.

His Last Official Act.

The last bill signed by President Harrison
was that granting pension of $50 a month to
Elisa Alden McCawley, widow of Charles
Grymes McCawley, late Commandant of the
United States Marine Corps. The House of
Representatives was already in the Senate
Chamber when the bill was placed before the
Secretary of the Senate who said it was TOO
late.
The enrolling clerk, 3. s. Platt saw that it
granted pension to woman and was short in
its wording, and instead of laying it aside he
dictated the text of the bill. 1t was not beau.
tifully written, bat it was got in shape suffi-
GENTLY good to pass muster, and Dir. Platt
rushed into the Senate Chamber and secured
the signature of the Speaker Vice President
Morton, and Secretary McCook. By this time
the chamber was SO crowded that he could not
get out, and handing the bill over the heads of
the crowd, Mr.. Platt asked that it be taken to
the Presidents ROOM Mr.. Platt subsequently
reached the room himself in time to see the
President sign the bill and lay down his pen.

When Daniel Webster visited these parts for
the purpose of delivering his Bunker Hill
GRAFTON. he was entertained at the house of a
Charlestown merchant This merchant was
so embarrassed by the honor of the great
Statesman's presence that he brought out not
only one but several decanters of the best
liquor he had in the house. BIr. Webster care
fully searched out the vessel containing the
brandy, aud poured from it a drink that to-.
day would be generally termed "a BATH" and
drank the liquor in a few complacent gulps.
The anxioUsly obliging merchant inquired of
Mr.. Webster whether he would not like glass
of water. The Senator looked mp calmly, and
in his most magnificent tones replied urbanely /:

OUR PORTRAIT cHRDS.
Something that Every Veteran
Should Have.

Nothing has been so popular with the
veterans as THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE Por-
trait Cards, which, in addition to being q
beautiful GAR. card, contain an admirable
picture of the comrade, with his name,
address, regiment and GAR. Post.
The portraits on these are etched in the
highest style OF art, directly from photographs,
and printed on heavy, satin-suriaeed card
board. Each package is sent in neat paste
board box, postage paid, to any address in
the Omitted States. They are the handsomest
and most desirable cards made anywhere in
the country.
The price of these is but 50 for the first
100. This is very cheap, as the usual price
for plain cards is 50 per 100. An additional
number, if ordered at the same time, will be
furnished at 81 pes hundred. good pho
tograph must accompany the order, which
will be returned if desired.
