Editor National Tribune: Why Is I'll
that we never see anything of the Regti-
lar Army in your valuable paper and
very little of the Spanish AND Philippine
soldiers? 1t seems to me like it Is
about time for some of these veterans
and sons of veterans ,tps ge1 busy. and
let lis hear from then tth4i The Ma
tional Tribune. Now, your paper al
ways has and always will uphold the
Veterans of the civil war. which is per-
fectly right, but why not say something
about the present Regular soldier? For
instance. take up the subject of mar
ried men? Some countries furnish quar-
ters, rations, fuel, etc. for their married
men. while the United States will in
some cases let them draw their rations
and in a very few cases furnish them
quarters. 1t seems to me the Govern
ment should encourage married men to
re-enlist 1t would cost the Govern
ment comparatively nothing to build.
say, 20 sets, of quarters at each regi-
mental post. That would accommodate
about two married men to each COM
pany. and would encourage experienced
soldiers to re-enlist. There are not
many men who care to pass the best
part of their lives in the Army without
a helpmate. OF course the Government
furnishes the non-commissioned staff
with quarters; but retirement is SO slow
that it is not everybody that can be a
non-commissioned staff officer. i have
always noticed that married men ara
the most reliable, can always be found
when wanted. and are of a more steady
nature. Except one or two cases l
have not seen a married man in con-
finement. l served in the Philippines

WIZ In Prison.


Morton Ravens. Albany, N. Y, says
he was on duty as Officer of the Guard
at the old Capitol Prison. and had I'M
der his charge not only Wirz. but Maj.
Ghee. Of Salisbury, and Dick Turner
from Libby. A number of times he
went into WirZ's room, and talked with
him on the charges against him. On
no occasion did he ever express himself
as at all sorry for anything he had
done. on the contrary, he said on a
number of occasions that if he had had
the opportunity he would repeat it. He
never weakened in his position up t.
mis- execution, and If he were alive to-
day he would relieve some of his would
be sympathizers of their troubles in
furnishing excuses for him. He was ar
inhuman monster, and did not deny it
He. expected that President johnson
would reprieve him, and did not give
up hope until the very last. ~

Gen, Blenkcr.

" NJ. Hodgson. White Plains, N. Y,
has seen it stated in the papers that
Gen. Blenker served on the STAFF of Gen.
Mcclellan. He doubts this. as he saw
Blenker and his men many times while
in the Army of the Potomac. He would
like to know something of his record.
Gen Blenker was born in Worms,
Germany. and took Il prominent part
in the revolution of 1S4S. He was con.
PEELED to fly the country, and at the
outbreak of our war became Colonel OF
the Sth n. Y, recruited mainly among
those who had served with him in Ger
many. For his gallantry at Bull Run
he was promoted to Brigadier-General,
and in 1852 assigned to the command
of a division in Western Virginia. His
conduct in command did not give satis-
faction. and he was superseded by Gen.
Sigel He was mustered out of the-ser-
vice March 81. 1868, and died in Oc-
tober of injuries which he had received

J. Adeiheimer, rate Captain. 9th Pa,
Pittsburg, Pa, takes exception to the
cartoon in recent number of The Ma
iionaI Tribune, having for its subject
"a Jewish banker and the Car of Rus
STA" He says that the Jewish banker
generally compares very favoraDly with
the bankers of any other race for hon
csty. integrity and patriotism. He cites
a few instances in Pittsburg. where
bank officials foremost in Christian
church work robbed the bank of all its
available funds. making paupers of
hundreds of laboring men and washer
women. who had intrusted them with
their savings. Nearly all of the men
involved in the great bank scandals in
Pittsburg were prominent in church
work. and the list could be extended
Indefinitely.

Two Old Muskets.

Joseph Huffman, 73d Ohio. Colum-
bus. O., says that there are on exhibi-
ton in the window of Sutton Brothers,
Columbus, two old muskets which We're
dug out of a dam at Toms Brook, Va.
and shipped in a car of apples to the
Sutton Brothers. The supposition is that
the muskets were carried by the Con-
federates in September. 1864. when
Gen. George Crooks men made their
famous charge on Early's forces at
Fishers Hill. and drove them pellmelI
down the hill and across the stream.
These muskets were evidently thrown
away by the men in order to run faster.
He would like to hear from any Federal
or Confederate that knows anything
about them.

Here are some delicious recipes for
sandwiches: Olives or pimenta sliced
thin and mixed with a French dressing
is dainty filling for thin slices of
bread. If the spaces between the disks
of olives are filled in with cream cheese,
well seasoned, this will give a little
variety to the taste of the pickle.
A delicious relish for luncheon or
dinner is made from olives. hard boiled
eggs, anchovy paste and small rounds
of toast.
Cut bread. either white or brown
into small rounds the size of silver dol
lars and toast it delicate brown.
Mix two tablespoons of butter and
two of anchovy paste to a smooth
paste, and with it stuff the piment6s
from which the peppers have been re-
moved.
Rub the yok of hard-boiIed egg
thru fine sieve, and chop the white
very fine
Butter the toast. spread with the
yolk of an egg, put an olive upright in
the center of each round, and surround
with rim of the chopped whites.
Sardine sandwiches go well with tea
IL the fish in oil is kept well in the
background There is little chance OF
mistaking either the odOr or taste OF
sardines unless the fish is mixed witt
other ingredients, so for tea sandwiches
it is adisableo to make a paste of the
sardine and to mix with il bit OF
mustard. some chopped olives or 1pi-
menta and cayenne pepper. The mix.
ture should be spread as thin as a val
on the bread wafer in order to make a
delicate sandwich.
