A NATIONAL CHRISTMAS GIFT
Since it is commended that large PEN
sion roll is blessing to our country,
being medium through which locked
10 money gets into circulation, partic-
ularly in channels where it is so much
needed. why not extend this blessing
to the disabled Confederate soldiers,
most of whom live in the South? Con-
fac il strictly to the disabled soldier
the pension roll would be not much in-
creased, and the time to run must De
short now. Such graceful aud accept
able Christmas gift to the South, VINO
for thirty odd years has contributed
its part of all national taxes freely
aud uncomplainiDgly would touch the
hearts of the southern people, par,
ticularly of those who followed
Lee and Jackson and other gal
lant leaders, some of whom have again
drawn their swords in the nation s
cause, adding additional luster to the
fame of American soldiers. Gen. B. +.
Butler it is said, was IN favor OF pen
sOqing both armies. What nooie
act the passage of such bill would be;
what a strong and substantial proof OF
sectional fraternity, sn evidence to the
world of our strong union--brotneriy
love to all sections of our common
country, of peace on earth good VIII 20

moth, like other evil-doers. has an
aversion to printers ink. An excel
lent moth-proof bag, second only to the
expensive tar paper. and costing mo-
