RECRUITING THE POSTS.

Comrades, let us hear from you as to
what you are doing IN the way of re-
cruiting your Posts. We want to be
informed of the success of every one in
the country. The reports will stimulate
others to do likewise, and so help in the
great work of doubling the present
numbers of the GAR. There are fully
100000 ex-soldiers and sailors who are
still outside of our ranks, but who should
be with us. Let every Post take this
matter into serious consideration, and
see what can be done toward bringing
the stragglers into camp. They will
come in much more willingly now than
ever before, because the Grand Army
of the Republic has higher dignity in
the eyes of the people than ever before
in its history, and because these men,
as they advance in years, feel more
strongly the ties of comradeship with
those who served with them.
Let every Poet make a thorough
canvass of the eligible veterans in its
jurisdiction, and present reasons to them
why they should be in the Order.
Write to The NATIONAL TRIBUNE
as to what you are doing.

? MURcHrsoN LETTER.

The real author of the famous Murchison
letter was George Osgoodby, plain, natter-of-
fact farmer and ranchman, who has lived at
Pomona. Cal. for Is years. He is stalwart,
uncom promising Republican, and has always
taken an active interest in National affairs,
though he was never politician. He felt very
strongly in regard to the Canadian treatment
of our fishermen, and asserted in conversation
that Clevelaud's ante-eIection talk about re-
taliation was mere campaign bluff This led
to his writing the famous deeoy letter, whlch
took him several days before he got it IN shape
to suit him. The name Murchison was taken
from an English literary cyeiopsdia. There
has been much talk of his having been given
large sums for what he did. but this his neigh
bors aud he say is utterly false. He would
have scorned to take money for it. He did it
purely out of love and loyalty to his party.
He has never courted any notoriety on account
of it, but rather avoided it As much as he
could.

In spite of my disagreeing radically with
Hon. Don M. Dickinson, of Michigan. in many
things, he has some points about him that
like immensely. and one of the main ones is
that he is in favor of this country asserting her
natural and rightful position among the Ma
tious of the world, and having definite, posi-
tive foreign policy. Don doesn't belong to that
class which seems to think that if we speak
above our breath. some other country-Great
Britain very like, possibly even Spain-may
jump on us and trounce the life out of rs. Don
thinks We are of age. and have gained the
right to speak our opinions freely on all sorts
of things going on in the wide. wide world.
He has very positive ideas about Cuba. and
thinks that We should intervene at once in
some effective manner in behalf Of the un-
happy people of that island And he makes
mighty strong historical and legal argument in
favor If sunh action, too.

The Value OF a Good Reputation.

A good reputation is Of great value.
One who has acquired the name of a
truthful, honest, just, pure man has a
great advantage over others not thus
equipped. If dispute should arise
between two men, one of whom is
known to be truthful and upright,
while the other is suspected of being
insincere and unreliable, the
verdict of the community is
sure to be given in favor of the
former. If man is seen in place of
bad reputation his name will go far to
determine the Judgment Of his neigh
bors concerning his presence there. If
he is known as good and pure man
the presumption will be that he is there
on some benevolent mission. If his
reputation is bad, every suspicious
circumstance will count against
him. He will often be misjudged
because of his bad name. No doubt
men have been convicted of murder on
circumstantial evidence and executed,
when another, against whom the Same
circumstantial proofs might have been
alleged would have been acquitted. A
good reputation adds much to ones in
fuence when he seeks to do good. His
arguments, appeals and examples are
emphasized and strengthened by a
good name. But a good reputation
which rests on good character is best
of all. It shall not be overthrown nor
permanently injured. Clouds may come
over it, as they come: over the sun, but
it will shine forth as the light when
the mists roll away.-N Y. Post.

How to Cure a Balky Horse.

There are numberless expedients for
curing a balky horse. The, worst of
them are those that infict severe pain
or come from the anger Of the driver.
Any simple device that turns the at
tention of the animal in a new direc-
ton will usually cause him to forget
his obstinate whim. AS simple a one
as any perhaps is to take the front foot
by the fetlock and bend the leg at the
knee, joint. Hold it for three or four
minutes and then put the leg down,
When the horse will probably go.
After a few repetitions an animal will
rarely get into balky mood. Another
method that has been successfully
used is to allow the horse:to stand, un.
noticed or untouched, for ten to fifteer
minutes, and then give a feed of oats
The animal will very likely 2osget til
