Matters.

Washington, Feb. 2.-The pres
ident signed the bill for the
reorganization of tho army at
1890 p. m. today. 1t is now a
law.
The war department expects at
once q general order to the, army
reciting the enactment of the army
canteen closing law and enjoining
upon all army officers and enlisted
men obedience to it's provisions.
The war department practically
has completed it's arrangement for
recruiting the army under the
provision of the reorganization act.
The enlistment for the month of
January amounted TO 1882, all in
crease of over 800 recruits secured
during the previous month of
December. The officials are very
much encouraged at this result,
and have no doubt Of their ability
to secure all the men they need.
Many new recruiting stations have
been established in various ports
of the country.

sidewalk Wanted Near Depot.

Dear Mr.. Editor: We on this
side of the town appreciate very
much the spirit and interest our
houored town council are taking
in the sidewalks of the several aud
different streets of our town and
hope very early to see this spirit
and interest manifested over here
about the depot. 1t is quite anus
ing and yet distressing to see pas
sengers and the public generally
trying to make their way to and
from the station through the mud.
We have no sidewalk at all lead
ing from the depot to the big road,
and the town council can very
readily understand why it is anus
ing and distressing for the public
to paddle through this mud. A
sidewalk could be very quickly
thrown up and there are car loads
of cinders on the track of the rail-
road at the depot which could be
thrown on this nidewalk and q lit
tie sand on that will make very
comfortable walking sidewalk. l
often hear passengers exclaim,
"Oh, my, what muddy place"
We are willing to pay a special
tax to get this sidewalk rather
than not get it. We hope the town
council will spend one day over on
this sidewalk with their entire
force if No longer time can be
spared from other urgent duties
We who have occasion to 60 to
and from the depot are sadly in
need of 8 sidewalk as we cannot
ride always.

What a Paper Said of Him In
1871.

Appropros of the birthday of
Robert E. Lee, the following
clipping will be of universal in
teIest:
"The example of the late Gen.
eral Lee, in refusing all gifts and
declining to receive compensation
for services not rendered, is worth
more to his country and to all who
follow it, than millions in, gold.
The facts here stated will not be
forgotten.
"In the winter of 1864 the
the city council of Richmond
rendered Gen. Lee an elegant
mansion as some small token of
the high estimate in which ne WAS
held by the city which he had so
long defended. But the grand
old man replied: Il do not expect
to. be in Richmond during the
continuance of the war, and my
family are as comfortable as they
have Alright to expect to be in
these times. I must therefore,
with my thanks for your consldera-
ton most respectfully decline
your otter. If you have money to
give, I hope you will bestow it upon
my private soldiers, who are more
needy and more deserving than
myself
At the close of the war, offers of
pecuniary assistance poured in
upon him from all sides, but he.
steadfastly refused to receive
them.
An English noblemaD thinking
he would rejoice in some place Of
retreat from his a fflictions, wrote
to offer him splendid country.
seat and a handsome annuity. He
nobly replied:
ST am deeply grateful, but 1 can
not desert my native state in the
hour of her deep adversity. /
must abide htsr fortune and share
her fate"
Soon after be took charge of
Washington College hewas visited
by the agent of an insurance COM
pany, who offered him the pre-.
sidency at salary of ten thousand
dollars. He told the agent that
be could not properly attend to
both. "But. General" said the
agent, "we do not want you to dis
charge any duties. We simply
want the use of your name. That
will abundartly compensate u.s."
Excuse me, sir" was the prompt
and decided rejoinder, II can
not consent to receive pay for
services I do not render"
He received many offers of this
sort, and just short time before
his death q large manufacturing
|s,s |Ese,shpaay in New York offered him
a salary of fifteen thousand dollars
a year if he would become their
president. But to all such offers
he bad the same reply-his duty
in the college fully occupied his
time, and he would not receive
pay where he did not render
service.
He refused to receive from the
college anything like so large a
salary as they desired
10 pay him, and, when, last year,
the trustees decided to Mrs. Lee
house and annuity Of three. thous-
and dallars, the General respect
fully declined on Mrs. Lees be-
half to accept it.
He declined all gratuities, and
though a loving people, for whom
he had toiled 80 heroically, would
most joyous]y have settled on him
a handsome property, he preferred
10 earn his daily bread by personal
exertion, and to set to his people
an example of honest industry
