den Mead received numerous requests
for the autograph of the assassin, and
also some from medical men for pieces
of his brain after he has paid the death
penalty.
The first mail to be received by
Czolosz was the gospel of st. John in
pamphlet form, with red covers. The
package was wrapped in yellow paper.
The assassin's name was incorrectly
spelled. The postmark was so indis-
tinct as to make it impossible to tell
where it came from.

1t is now 80 years since the civil war
closed, and Mt first thought it would be
supposed that the survivors who are
dependent upon the government would
be decreasing, But they are constantly
increasing, all the homes being over
crowded and new quarters are being
built, This condition will prevail for
10 years more, when the number of ap-
plicants will begin to decrease. In 20
years there will be plenty of spare
room, and 30 years will find the Homes
practically empty, unless another great
war shall leave its residuum of disabled
and dependent soldiers. What use will
then be made of these Homes will be
problem for that generation to SETTLE
Well-selected libraries are provided
for the use of the members, but owing
to advancing age aud enfeebled eye
sight the books are not largely read.
Daily papers are taken in large num-
bers and the news of the day is eagerly
read and discussed. Postofiices receive
and forward mail and furnish money
orders
The mortality is of course increasing,
averaging the past year six per cent.
Well-kept cemeteries are provided, in
which are buried the bodies of all de-
ceased members whose families and
friends are unable to furnish private
/ burial. The funeral services are SINH
lar to those of the regular army.
In addition to the Homes established
and maintained by the government,
Homes have been provided by 25 states.
In these there are 10000 members,
making a grand total of $4,000 in ma
ticnal state Homes. Some of these
state Homes are open only to soldiers
who served in regiments from the state
where the Home is located, but Others
admit those who served in any regi-
ment but have acquired a residence in
the state. Being smaller, with fewer
members, they are more homelike in
character, but in some respects are in
ferior to the national Homes. The
government pays 800 annually for the
support Of each member, requiring al
appropriation of $1,000, ,0C0. In some
of the state Homes the wives and wild
ows of soldiers are admitted.

The Hon. Jack Reaves was born in
the town of Reuben about fifty years
ago, and he gamboled on the green
much as other children, manifesting no
unusual symptoms of thirst. He taught
school in Unicoi county for several
scholastic terms and it was there he
learned the principles of grammar and
spelling which have since rendered him
illustrious. He left Reuben and opened
livery stable in Jasper; and finally
drifted over into Hardeman county. 1t
was there he became q deacon and an
editor. Col. Reavos has We believe
twice represented his county in the
Liquorslature of the State with marked
ability. He has been from the start q
warm personal friend of the internal
revenue system and has perhaps can
celled more revenue stamps than any
other gentlemen in Tennessee. He is
one of the best men on the planet, and
he is entitled to whatever he calls for,
and pays for.
Mr.. Rose asks us whether Colonel
Reaves drinks or not.
We would of course, like to crafty
our correspondents morbid curiosity
on this point, but etiquette restraints us.
Editor Reeves never touches a drop
when he is not asked. Of course wher
he is the guest of city, convention
or a dying legislature; or when ht
is in the hands of his friends-or his
enemies-he may indulge. Like many
thirsty men and true he may take {
drink when he is away from home, bu'
otherwise he would scorn to touch {
drop unless he is properly approached
Col. Reaves' personal habits are hi'
own, and he is entitled to regulate
them just in the old sweet way. Blu
we have no hesitation in pronouncinl
him very alive. He is great studen
of political economy, looks upon spell
ing as hindrance to evolution ant
civilization; and his favorite hymn is
"We don't keer if we mover wake up.
