His Razor.

Freeman Schermerhorn, Sergeant.
Co. G. 10th n. Y, Rome. n. Y, has read
The National Tribune ever since It's first
publication, and could not do without
it. He had an experience with razors
in the Summer of 1853, when he went
TO circus, where he saw a peddler
selling glass who would put up bunch
of razors at a high price and gradually
come down to 81 cents. The comrade
bought one. a Wade and Butcher razor
made in Sheffield, England. 1t is the
only one he has ever had, and he had
it with him during the war, using it on
others as well as himself. 1t is now in
fine condition, and he shaves himself
with it three times a week. BY next
Summer he will have used 1t 81 years,
and in all these years it has only cost
him Sc cents.

WidOws' Pensions.

Julia Smith, Morris, n. Y, is distinct
ly of the belief that the widows of those
veterans who died should be entitled
10 the same pensions as their husbands.
Most If not all of these deaths could
be distinctly traced to their service, and
the women who stood by them, shared
their fortunes and nursed them during
their last illness, should have some rec
ognition by this Government. Her hus-
band was Albert D. Smith, who served
in the Hath N. Y. died at Fortress
Monroe in 1863, and received but $50
bounty. She was left with nothing but
a pension of 500 a year, and is now S.
years old and in poor health.

of the Union army was by the overland
route, and ended in the bloody repulse
of Fredericksburg Dec. I3. 1852. The

1t will be seen at once that the coun-
try around the scene Of the jamestown
Exposition has a historical Importance
and interest hardly exceeded by that Of
any other spot in the world.
A Historic Setting.
In order to give the historical exhib-
its of the Exposition a meet setting, the
architecture of the Ter-Centennial is
entirely colonial. Every previous Ex-
position has had buildings which, more
or less homogeneous and harmonious in
general effect, marked no era nor Illus
trated any period.
In the jamestown Exposition archi-
lecture there are no turrets nor towers,
no mfnarets, pinnacles, buttresses or
other freaks of fancy, no long stretches
of garish-white buildings decked out
with wedding-cake trimmings and be-
spattered with colored lights until they
resemble Christmas trees. On the con-
trary, all the buildings are low, both in
stature and in color tones.
Few raise their roofs above the tree

only requires to be enlarged to make it
available for a large class of vessels.
The appropriation in the River and
Harbor bill provides for the purchase
of the Albemarle & Chesapeake Canal
and its enlargement to a depth of 10
feet. a 12-foot canal was wanted, but
Congress unwisely cut it down to 10
feet. 1t is hoped, however, that a To-
foot channel can be made so as to real
ly mean IL feet. The local benefits of
this improvement will be enormous, and
it will open up an immense territory of
great agricultural and other richness.
All of the complicated sound system of
North Carolina will be made available
and the products find an easy road to
market. In addition to cleaning out
and charging the canal, the entrances
to Bogue, Pamlico, Currituck. Roanoke
and other sounds will be cleared of the
sandbars and made available for navi-
CATION. With the completion of the
canal connecting Chesapeake and Della
ware Bays it will be possible for YES
sells to pass inland almost from New
York to Savannah. The Cape Cod Canal
being also assured. will extend the route
to Boston. In addition to being of the
greatest benefit in the prosecution of
the coastwise trade, it will be highly
important in war times in enabling our
smaller war. vessels to pass along the
coast sheltered from any attack by an
enemy. The cost of the Norfolk &
Beaufort Canal is only s55O,OO0, which
is small sum compared to the benefits
that will flow from the completion OF
the work. The map shows the route as
