Among the most ardent advocates Of
temperance in New York are the Paul
sst Fathers, says the New York Herald.
Rev. John ]. Hughes said Of Bishop
Potter's action that it reminded him
of an incident that had happened In
the church in Father Hecker's time.
"a man came here he said, and
told Father Hecker that he wanted to
open a saloon In the parish. You
know, he added, that I'm a good. law
abiding man, and | want to conduct
the saloon on good moral lines, and
don't want you to oppose me fl opening
It. If you will consent / promise 10
comply with any stipulations you may
make for me in running It.
All right, Father Heeker answer
ed, you can go ahead il you will com
ply with my conditions, The first Is
that you will have none but archangels
for barkeepers.
1T is unnecessary to say" continued
Father Hughes that there was no
need of mentioning the other eondi-
tons. My opinion on the subject Is
that laid down by all the Catholic bish-
ops. who say in the DEGREES of the
council Of Baltimore as to those en-.
gagged In the sale of intoxicating liq-
uors:

Bishop Potter's action. though con
demned by some ministers In Cincin-
natl, is not without supporters. The
Rev. Philip Y. Pendleton. Christian, IL
grleved By his example and regards his
action as a regrettable mistake. The
Rev. David Kinney. Reformed Presby-

A comrade from Cadiz, O., says that he
has received letter from the Pension Blu
reau demanding that he produce afidayits
from the Surgeon, Assistant Surgeon, or
Hospital Steward of his regiment to GER
tain facts. To his knowledge the Bureau
has been paying pensions to the widows of
these officers for several years.
VETERANS HARD LUCK.
Fred Plato, ST., Beaverton, n. Y,
President Sykes's Regular Veteran Asso-
citation, says that he enlisted August, 1861
for three years in one of the new Regular
regiments, and was a prisoner of war 20
months and 10 days, being compelled there
by to serve eight and half months after
his time was out, for which he only got
his regular pay. He was debarred from
reenlistment, and thus getting a big boun-
ty. He thinks that the Government should
pay bounty of S4O0 to all such. He was
in the last lot of prisoners from Richmond,
April 2, 1865. and the barge on which
they were flowed down the James had to
make a Zig-zag course to avoid the t0rpe-
does. They first caught sight of "Old
Glory" at Aiken's Landing, and their feel
ings were beyond description. He would
like to hear from any of his old comrades
of the 14th L. S.. which lost over 40 per
cent. of its numbers at the Devils Den
and Little Round Top.

however, that 1t took so long to discover

which would treat every veteran as a
man.

pital until May Is, 1866. and then only on

getting but So month.
]. ]. Trexler, Comma nder of Holm Post,

there are dissatisfied with the new order
for one reason because it makes the sol
diers Of the rebellion live eight years
