Pittsburg, Sept. u.-Forty thousand
men, who fought to save the Union,
marched through the cities of Pitts

miiiar war tunes filled the air While
they stepped out boldly and bravely,

bent forms, nor conceal their gray
hairs and furrowed cheeks. They car
ried no heavy rifles with glitterng
baycnets. but aided their aged limbs
with walking-can while here and
there in the line of blue came d COM
rade on crutches. On every corner
and vacant lot rose tier after tier of
human faces, and as the veterans
passed. cheer after cheer greeted them.
