DEFEATING PRICE

in all bis grand schemes of conquest and
plumber of Northern cities, and driving
him out of Missouri, starts on his return
march for st. Louis, where he arrives
Nov. Is, after terrible march through
rain, snow, and, at times, partly frozen
mud, some of the men barefooted and
but partially supplied with blankets or
overcoats to shield them from the In
clement November weather.
While on their way, on the Sth, they
avail themselves of the privilege of
voting for the reelection of our grand
President, "Old Abe," for another term
at the head of the Nation.
The troops are quartered IN Benton
Barracks, where they receive pay, draw
clothing, ETC., and have 10 days of rest
from the hardships and exposures of a
very arduous two-and-a-half months
campaign.
In the meantime, on the 9TH of Octo-
Der, while hating at St. Charles, on their
way up the Missouri River, our gallant
Gen. Joe Mower, in obedience to orders
received from Gen. Sherman, leaves his
old command, the Second Brigade, First
Division, Sixteenth Corps, for Chatte-
nooga, to join Gen. Sherman in Georgia,
where his grand fighting qualities make
him conspicuous in those glorious cam
paigns of Sherman's army through
Georgia and the Carolinas.

A Tale of Two Capitals.

A friend of mine. recently deceased, told
me, if my memory serves me correctly, that he
had the following facts from Baron Haussmann
himself: Ordered by Napoleon Ill to submit
plans for the renovation of Paris, the Baron
was for some time at loss TO meet the twofold
requirements, as the contemplated improve
ments for the new streets had to be at once
beautiful and so laid out as to be readily COM
manded by artillery. Suddenly he bethought
him Of modern Washington. He secured a
plan of that city, and this seemed on exami-
nation so exactly to meet the necessities of the
ease that he finally submitted it 10 the
Emperor.
The result was that the plan in the main
was accepted, and modern Paris was built
upon the lines of modern Washington. Thus
is explained certain similarity which strikes
every one who is familiar with the two capi-
tails, although one might naturally suppose
the American city, being the younger, to be
the daughter, instead of the mother. But
Gen. Washington more than half a century
earlier had ordered l. Eniant to design him a
plan foT his seat of government in much the
same manner as Napoleon III. had COM
manded Baron Haussmann.
Now, L. 'Enfant was not only Freuchman,
but resident Of Versailles, and he undoubt-
S'lg hSihSd HIS LiiS3ildlIou lIOLu HIS carrier
surroundings; consequently Washington was
an enlargement of the Royal Park, with its
| alleys extended into avenues and its numer-
Gus 6Ower-beds and parterres enlarged into
circles and quadrants. Thus by trans
oceanic leap Baron Haussmann took from the
| New World what he could have secured a,
his own gate. So much for merely curious
artistic coincidence.
But III light of recent developments in ouI
| capital, a singular inquiry suggests itself
namely, whether Gen. Washington, in lay.
| ing out the city, did not have in mind the
same twofold object that Napoleon the Third
had when laying out Paris. To be sure, the
present Industrial army movement nov bids
/ fair TO end in ridicule But at some later
date a more desperate one may require to bc
controlled by artillery, and then the broad
avenues and straight streets Of the capital may
be appreciated for other than mere estheti,
considerations, and, on the contrary, serve a:
an additional proof of far-sightedness on ths
part Of the Father of his Country.

SUSPENDED"
Some Wh0 Have Lost Their Dues by
Action of the Pension Bureau.

Ouua TT. Ropka, of Ashley, s. d., draws a
pension of $l2 month under the act of June
q, 1890, and received last month the usual
registered letter from Pension Commissioner
Lochren, giving him 80 days to show why his
pension should not be cut down to So month.
Comrade Ropka served through the war sew
ersl months of which time he was prisoner
in Andersonyille. He carries rebel lead in his
body in the shape of one minis-bal aud two
buckshot. On his head and body many
saber-cuts received when he was taken pris-
oner, he being cut down by his captoFs. He
has been confined to his bed for the past five
six months suffering from diseases result
ing from his army service. Being unable to
leave his bed, his comrades of Ashley will do
all that can be done to save to him the WELL
earned pension.
Comrade l.. ]. Gould. of Waukato, Kan, has
received his pension sentence sometime ago.
He was ordered to be re-examined before a
Board, and the Board stated they never sent in
stronger certificate of disability, and that
he would hear nothing more from it; but they
cut him from S12 to S6.
They also ordered to be re-examiued George
A. Bole, Co. G, 113th ILL.,, bringing him from
Fresno, Cal, to Bellville, Kan, nearly 5000
miles, to see If he had right to draw pension
OF S6 per month.
An unusually sad case is that of James Hol-
leran. of Lancaster, o., familiarfy known as
eudy CHu0rd, VINO was taken 10 C0IumDuS
for cornmittal in the Insane Asylum. TEDDY"
who is SO years of age, was soldier in Co. T,
18th Ohio, during the war, where he was Grip
pied after four years service, and for which
he drew a pension. This pension was the main
support of himself and aged mother, and mental
distress over its withdrawal last Winter, and the
subsequent privation and suffering have caused
his mind TO become totally unhinged.. His
failure to obtain the required evidence and the
expected suspension of his only means of sup
port preyed on his mind, and he wandered away
into the country, where he was found by a
friend and brought back.
Comrade John Wishart, Co. !, 96th Ohio,
Plainview, Neb., has almost lost the
use Of his limbs, and is deaf besides,
from helping to support heavy batteries of
artillery. If ne attempts to stand long on
his feet he falls helplessly to the ground. He
has been drawing a pension of S12 per month,
and now, after reaching his 60th year, has re-
ceived the cow familiar letter, beginning,
Z" You are informed that the medical evidence
