Of fire. just &c days after leaving home. There
were lao survivors of the old regiment present
many with their wives and other members of
their families Many old soldiers from other
regiments registered with them. II was in
Fort Wayne that the SSth was organized under
Col. George Humphrey and Adj't DuBarry,
both of whom have passed away At this Re
union they were led by Col. Cyrus Z. BIiant,
of Huntington, Ind, aud Adj't Allan II. Dou-

Day. The 68th Ind. retains its old army or
ganizatiOn, and at its annual Reunions the
ranking officer presides. with his Adjutant and
staff officers In each company the ranking
officer present takes charge. After dinner the
old regiment was formed under its old colors,
carried by its old cOor-bearer. Serg't John Jones'
and the several companies assumed their old
position in the line and marched out past the
old fort, and proceeded to unvail beautiful
monument which had been erected as "a
tribute from patriotic citizens to the heroic
SONS Of Allen County who fell in defense of the
Union. IS6l-l665." On the other sides were
the words, Gettysburg" "Chickamauga"
"Vicksburg" while above these inscriptions
on each square are cut respectively "A GAR.

eagle on the State seal, and an eagle on the
City seal. The bronze part of the monument

Accompanying the regiment were the three

tiers of the regiment. Col /. n. Walker, of
indianapolis, formerly Fort Wayne boy, then

BADGES AND BUTTONS.
Some New Ideas as to What the GAR.
ShOuId Wear.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: While the
question of buttons, badges and decorations
for the use Of army and navy veterans of the
Union Is before the comrades, the suggestion
that mistake was made in the hurried de-
signs of buttons and badges for the GAR.
of to-day deem is in order.
The monogram letters &C. A. r." as de-
signed for the buttons are not at all military,
and would be more suitable for hotel porter
or steamboat hand. The design should have
been National in its character, something
solid in makeup. 1t should have been of a
pattern not unlike the buttons worn by the
war forces of the Nations of the EARTH not
like the decoration seen on the harness of
horses. The letters &c. A. r." to a foreigner
or stranger might mean anything; certainly
they are not full of meaning from an army
or navy standpoint.
The design might be one such as the Ma
tIOnal Coat-Of-Arms, most GER ainly in bronze,
brass or gold, with no enamel or coloring
thereon. as this is distractible surrounding
the coat-of-arms. The letters g. Il. might
be what should have been the name of the
Order, and this name should never have been
the Grand Army OF the Republic" but
what would have been suitable, United
States Veteran 186l1965." The title Grand
Army of the Republic" as it is worded, ig-
nOres the naval force, and was a stupid error
indeed. The organizers of the Order hur-
riedly forgot to recognize the naval branch
:" all the way through" and not until re-
Gently have many OF the printed ceremonies
of the organization been properly worded in
this regard. 80
Some one has suggested change in the
badge, naming different colored ribbons
silks, and the like. Those suggestions are
certainly amusing The greater number of
the designs of rebellion badges would be
suitable for a delegate to some mlliners' or
dressmakers' convention, but not by any
means to represent grizzled veterans of any
war. Badges and battle decorations should
certainly be always made of material that
will endure through time and storm.
Some will say: How about the fiag-red,
white and blue?" 1 answer, this should
be struck out in sheet-metal. Then we
would have something our children could
hand down in the ages to come; something
that fire and water could never injure.-J.
