Editor The washington Herald.
Dear Sir: 1t is a few weeks since
read I'm one Of your papers a statement

how very popular the grand duke is, on
account of his high and liberal standard
in politics. as well as on account of his
plain and unpretentious life. and how
all his people rejoiCed in his lately found
happiness in marriage, I promptly made
inquiries in Germany.

throughout the United States are
abolished under the terms of the
annual pension appropriation bill

States are affected. 1t means that
Maj. A. T. Wood. the pension
agent at Louisville. and fourteen
others drawing salaries from $500
per annum to 81, 800 will lose their
places.
According to the terms of the
bill Louisville. Knoxville and

asked Maj. Warner. the Commis-

some way in which the expendi-

decreased. and he agreed with the
suggestion that nine offices through
out the country he abolished.

INDICATIONS OF GOOD HEART.
A mans heart must be right if
he care for Gods little creatures.
1t is an evidence of Gods love for
his children that he cares for the
sparrow that falls and he who has
love for the birds must have a
spark of divinity within his breast.
Frances of Assessi called them his
little brothers and often he was
found preaching to them.
But in a bigger circle still
Robert f. Lees character was
manifested. 1t was noticed very
early in his life that he never
spoke i'll of any one. His thoughts
of the enemy were never filled
with bitterness. He never wished
to see one opposite to him unneces-
sarily hurt. And more positively
he was anxious always to be kind
to those about him.
Once he wrote to his wife

" In some of his defeats he wa
