She Shouts For Dixie.

A Union veteran pleaded guilty in an
Augusta, Ga, court the other day to
breaking into store. He WAS old and In
want, and said that dire necessity had
driven him 60 the act. The jury ,eOmpOs-
ID of Confederate veterans, asked the
Judge to deal leniently with him, The
Judge. former Confederate major, fined
him 81 and the sheriff, former Confed'
crate captain, paid the fine.
Before the Union soldier left the court
room the dollar WAS in his pocket. The
spectators arose and remained standing
In sympathetic silence until he passed
out. Later In the day a purse was MI ade
up by Confederate veterans, and the Union
soldier was sent TO his home in Kentucky

Confederate Claims.
AS. NJ.

The War Department is paying old
Confederate claims at rapid rate. Re
Gently Congress appropriated s225,0OO
for the reimbursement OF Confederate
soldiers who had lost their horses or side
arms on their way home after Lee sur
render. The terms cif,red by Gen. Grant
included the protection of the Confederate
soldiers against the loss OF their animals
or pistols on their way back 70 their
homes. Some of the command In Ten
nessee and Georgia encountered North
ern troops who deprived them of their
horses and arms. That was Ia 1866,
since which time there has teen annual
effort made to have the money value
of the property restored to Lees men
The auartermaster generals office has
now paid out Sl51 ,S39 70on account oI
these claims and there is likely to be a
further appropriation next session to
continue the discharge OF the obligation
1t Is surprising TO the authorities that &c
