Gold began to sensibly bart company
with sreenbacks as early as the Fall
of 1861, and 1862 opened with green
backs at about three. per, cent discount.
The sreenbacks continued to depreciate
with occasional fluctuations as victories
were gained in the field until they
reached their lowest point in July, 1864,
when Early was knocking at the gates
of Washington. The average price of
the sreenback for the month of July
lsb4' was 3S.7 cents, but in New York
II went far lower than this. and from
SZS9 TO $500 was often paid for 500 in
gold in New York. AT this rate the SIG
month which the soldiers were then
receiving would have been worth about
80 in gold.-Editor National Tribune.

response to an inquiry as to the ante
cedents of Gen. VIM. Sirwell, 18th Pa,
says that she is his daughter. and as
far as she knows her grandfather was
native of England, and was married
to Eliza or Elizabeth Graham, also a
native of England. Her grandfather
was soldier and also skilful musi-
clan. When he married he came to
America, and was armorer at the Alle-
gheny Arsenal, where her father was
born inside the garrison and gates
guarded by sentinels. He was born
soldier and died one. 1t would be i'm
possible to find life more devoted to
his country. his God and his home. Ha

before his death. Her mother was q
noble woman, and noted for her chari-
ties far and near. She never received
a cent of pension, and died of grief and
shortly after the death
of her husband. After her death a bill
was passed to give her Oldest daughter
pension, which was secured by that
nobie-hearted man. Senator Quay This
daughter, always very feeble, is now
past 20 years. She took the place OF
the dead mother and cared for the

lvcntional man. and If he doesn't want

| The people of the country can rest
assured that President Taft will not do
an undignified thing. and, that when it
lis necessary to wear clothes he will wear
exactly the proper kind. It's bad
enough to have a little sold Republic
like Mexico say unpleasant things. be-
cause the President of the United States
appears at public functions like a gem
tleman rather than like a Knight out of
medieval pages, wearing a bright satin
waistcoat with lace ruffles, powdered
queue and diamond buckles.
Fire mt the White House.
NY, but there was excitement in the
vicinity of the White House one day
last week when an alarm of fire was
turned in from the home of the PreSi-
dent. 1t didn't take any special cards
to get into the house from under the
great big white pOrtico, which is now
generally reserved for distinguished and
OtrclHi guests. T1tdNN-DOUltu anu
roughly dressed firemen, who respond
ed to the alarm, ascended from the
engine room of the Executive Mansion,
dashed into the White House regard
less and hastily made their way thru
the various rooms trying to locate the
fire. Messengers finally informed them
that there was no fire, and that the
alarm which had been sounded was a
false one. 1t is thought that the wires
of the fire-alarm box became crossed
and the instruments began to tick,
sounding an alarm in all the engine
houses in the District OF course, there
vas a whole lot of excitement among
the attaches of the White House. 1t
required but three minutes for the en-
gines to reach the Executive Mansion
after the alarm was turned in.
Parenthetically it is safe to announce
that young Charles Taft is at home,
and the mischief that that young mans
fingers get into is no small amount
when counts are passed up in the even
ing.

tumble from his bicycle and receive
very serious injury. He was pretty much
battered up by the fall, but didn't i'm
aglne Tor moment that he was seri-

to the extent that he had a surgeon ex-
