early surroundings, and of the age in
which she lived as woman It is per-
haps to her intensely human side. to her
recorded good deeds and tenderness of
heart as well as to her life romance,
that the present great interest in her is
attributable, even though it comes $50
years after her birth. The framework
in which Mr. Hazleton has set her, and in
which Henrietta Crosman viii make her

Another Plan to Recruit the GAR.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: On page of
The National Tribune for June 8, l noticed
an article from Comrade f. ]. Kilmer favor
ing the admittance to the Grand Army Of
all honOrably y-discharged soldiers and sailors
of the 4. S. Army and Navy.
| do heartily agree with the old cOmrade,
and will make another suggestion for the
good OF the country at large: That the Grand
Army open its doors to all hOnorably dis
charged soldiers and sailols of the United
States including those who were hOnOrably
discharged from the Confederate Army.
Those men were honest and are paying their
taxes to support this Government the same
as those who wore the blue, and receiving
but little, If any, reward from the Govern
ment. l only mention this as n starter (as
| believe) in the right direction. l had sew
eral cousins in the Confederate Army-in
Texas regiments l think-and l am satisfied
they were always found true to the cause
in which they were fighting, as we were in
ours. My father fought with honest old Abe.
