trace their disabilities directly to their

will have their present pensions in many
thousand instances doubled, and in others

are also, under the old law, over 1000
widows, who are now receiving So per

The question as to how the construc.
ton Of the Panama Canal will affect the
Pacific Railroads is now under earnest
discussion in the railroad papers y The
trend of opinion seems to be that it vii
not seriously hurt the Northern railroads
since they are relying largely upon local
trade for most Of their business, but that
the Southern Pacific may be injured for q
while, since it has comparatively little
local business and not great prospect of
any. This does not seem to us wholly
sound. The first result of the construc-
ton of the canal win be to give q real
impetus to trade with the Orient, and
bring an immense accession Of that to-
ward our Pacific shores. In this Access

over their present business. Now the

CoMRADE Simon Bollinger, Co. d, 5rh
O. S. Art, Henryville, Ind, is the repre-
sentative of several thousand good, faithful
soldiers who suffer from one of the incl
dental unfairnesses of the war; He enlisted
in December, 1860, in the Regular Army
for period OF five years, and consequent
fy had to serve until December, 1866, or
through the whole period of the war.
There were several thousand like him.
When they enlisted they were paid in gold
$11 per month for the infantry, and SIP
for the mounted service. They received
no bounty, and their pay, owing to the de-
probation of the greenback, fell to some
thing like Sc per month. They were also
debarred from commissions and other adj
vancement such as came to the volunteers
in the new regiments. 1t seems as if Con-
gress ought to do something to partially
make good these damages to very faithful
and valuable soldiers of the army.

At present Uruguay's principal source of wealth is in cattle and sheep. Late statistics place the number of sheep on its ranches at eleven million; cattle eight million and horses eight hundred thousand. So genial is the climate and productive the soil that any grain or fruit of the temperate, torrid or frigid zones can be grown in baundance- from sugar and coffee to wheat and corn, bananas and potatoes. pineapples and pippins. There is plenty of the best pasturage in the world; plenty of water for mechanical purposes and for the fiocks and herds; plenty of stone and timber for building material; and geologists assert that the entire upper corner of the cone-shaped republic is underlayed by exhaustless coal beds. So many are the navigable rivers that one can go by water to almost any sec ton of the country, and natural har- bors are frequent along the coast. In fact, Uruguay is almost a peninsula, having an Atlantic seaboard of one hundred and twenty miles, a southern shore line on the Rio de la Plata of two hundred and thirty-five miles; while on the north, separating 1t from Brazil, are the rivers Chuy, Yaguaron and Duarein. and Lake Hirin; leaving land frontier of only four hundred and fifty miles from the Rio Duarein to the bar of the Chuy river on the Att lantic coast. The Rio Negro and it's big aff1uent. the Vi, intersects the coun- try diagonally, and there are numerous other rivers of unpronounceable names but great local importance.
