There is considerable political contro-

roll just now; but will not enter into
that, nor vent any of my views We
are considering only the soldiers in
congress.
By examining the congressional di-
rectory, have found that there are
three major generals in congress, who
served in the armies of the union; six
brigadier generals; three colonels;
four lieutenant colonies; one m ,r;
ten captains; nine lieutenants; one ad-
jutant; two staff officers, and twenty
nine private soldiers.
The major generals are Senator
Hawley, of Connecticut; Senator
Palmer, of Illinois; and Representa-

The brigadier generals are Senator

Third Congress Who Served In the
Armies OF the North aud

Especial Washington Letter. !


In the political editorials and in the
political correspondence from Wash.
ington concerning the congress great
deal is said from time to time about
confederate brigadiers. It may not
be inappropriate for me. whom all
my readers know to be non-partisan
writer, to refer to this subject in a
wholly dispassionate manner, and
state facts concerning the confeder-
ate brigadiers and other survivors of
the southern armies of the late civil
war, who are now in congress. OF
course the majority of the people in
active life to-day were born during or
Immediately after the civil war, and
they do not hold and cultivate the ami
mosities which were engendered by
that war in the minds and hearts of
some Of the people who participated
in it, north and south, and the women
and daughters of that period who re-
NAMED at home and suffered.
The confederate brigadiers in con-
gress to-day are very few in number.
There is only one confederate briga-
der in the house of representatives,
and it happens that he was great
deal more than brigadier general in
the confederate army. Hon. Joseph
Wheeler, of Alabama, is the only man
in the house of representatives to-day
who attained the title of general" in
the confederate army. He was not
only brigadier general, but he was
a major general and also lieutenant
general.
AS a matter of fact, before he was
twenty-five years Of age, Joseph
was lieutenant general of
cavalry ard one of the most aggressive
and able leaders in the cavalry arm
of the service who has ever been
known in the history of the warfares
of any age. He is only five feet three
inches in height, a very slender man,
and weighs less than one hundred
pounds. He is graduate of the West
Point military academy, and was al
most born and bred to the military
service. He was one of the ablest gen.
erals who have ever lived; that is, so
far as the cavalry branch of the mill
tary service is concerned. He was a
very bold, brave raider, and created
great deal of trouble for the federal
armies.
All the so-called ''rebel brigadiers"
who are now in congress are to be
found in the senate. They are nine in

Do You Wish
the Finest Bread
and Cake?

It is conceded that the Royal Baking Powder is
the Purest and strongest Of all the baking powders
The purest baking powder makes the finest, sweet
est, most delicious food The strongest baking pow
der makes the lightest food
That baking powder which is both purest and
strongest makes the most digestible and wholesome
food.
Why should not every housekeeper avail herself
of the baking powder which will give her the best
food with the least trouble?
Avoid all baking powders sold with gift
or prize or at lower price than the Royal,
as they invariably contain alum, lime or sui
phuric acid and render the food unwholesome.
Certain protection from alum baking powders can
be had by declining to accept any substitute for the
Royal which is absolutely pure.

the case is. Some Of your casuists for

you to wear as much as you please.

neck, she drew his head down towards
her and kissed him.
"You naughty disobedient child, to
come down here like this. with only
that thin nightgown on, too; it'll be
wonder if you don't catch your death
of cold. Now be off with you, and
don't worry the gentleman any more"
And Mrs Dawson picked up her little
girl and carried her out of the room,
scolding and kissing her at the same
time, scolding her for the fright she
had given her in escaping from her lit
tie bed, and kissing her in the relief at
finding the child safe.
But nanny, dear, you said he was
cross, but he isn't one bit, and he
asked me to kiss him, and he called me
his little Jenny What did he mean?"
His little girl was called Jenny, my
pet, and fancy the poor old gentle
man thought she had come back to
him when he woke up suddenly and
saw you. Poor old man." she went on,
more to herself than to the child, ''his
mind has been giving way this
L
it went altogether"
NANNY, may Dandy-boy and me go
and sit with him sometimes if we're
good?"
"Yes, my pet, if you're good girl
now and go to bed and get some sleep
you SHALL" With which she tucked up
the child in her little cot and left her
to sleep off any i'll effects of her long
nights vigil.
"Good morning, Mrs. Dawson, and
how is my patient this morning?"
Nicely, sir, thank you, think"
answered Mrs. Dawson. He really
don't seem like the same man; he used
always to be grumbling from morning
till night. Now he seems quite happy
so long as my little girl sits with him
now and again. It's a very strange
thing" she went on; ''he's got the idea
that she is the child he lost many years
ago You may have heard, sir, as how
his wife and child were drowned on
their way home to England from India.
Master was in the army, you know,
sir, and of course he couldn't leave
that awful climate, but he sent his
young wife and little girl home, and
the ship went down. They say master
was never the same again; he got so
bitter like, wouldn't take any interest
in anything, and shut himself up in
this lonesome old house, without any
servants, saving me and my husband,
when to do justice to the place there
ought to be a dozen servants at least"
''Poor old fellow" answered the doc
tor, disregarding the latter part of her
speech. "His delusion makes him in
tinitely happier, and although his
mind wanders he is no longer the
object of pity he was, for now he tells
ME that he is perfectly happy and con-
tented since Jenny kissed him."
Very pretty it was to see the child,
with a wisdom far beyond her years,
playing the part assigned to her by
the old mans happy delusion.
