say of Confederate pensioners:
1.-The press OF the State seems to
be almost unanimous in favor of
an increase in the pensions of the
old Confederates. The unprefer-
red class will get this year only
S26.94. This is not what they
ought to have. 1t is not enough
to keep the wolf from the door.
They who sacrificed so much for
the South that they have a right
to expect some substantial ex-
preston of gratitude in their de-
Ginning years. 1t is not matter
OF charity to increase the amount
OF their pensions. It is q debt We
owe them, and which we should
discharge. We must not let them
die in poverty and want.

MODERN HAMBURG.

The Hamburg Of today is a new city,
II grows faster than any port in Eu-
rope. 1t was founded more than a
thousand years ago, but the greater
part Of Il looks as though Il were put
up yesterday, and II is only in places
that you can realize that II was one
OF the great cities Of the middle ages.
Still, II was begun by Charlemagne
500 A. D., and II was for years one of
the chief towns Of the Hanseatic league.
II has now about a million inhabitants
and is rich beyond computation, 1t Is
putting up many new buildings. The
new Rathaus Is a magnificent struc-
ture, the new stock exchange is one OF
the best Of all Europe, and some Of the
hotels on the Alster are better than any
in Berlin,
Hamburg is n beautiful city. Lying
on the wide and deep Elbe It is cut up
by canals, and IN its older parts II IS
as picturesque as Venice. The canals
are walled with warehouses of five and
six stories, and caravans Of boats are
continually loading and unloading
within them. Each building has iron
cranes reaching ont over the water and
the goods are raised and lowered by
pulleys. The canals are connected with
the greater canals outside, so that
freight thus transferred can be sent
