Unduly Excited.

Editor National Tribune: Those of us
who participated Gas personal friends,
not comrades, of the late DIR. J. II.
Reed. ex-Confederate) are not a little
amused at the evident excitement, re-
sulting from misapprehension, of our
good Comrade Averill in his article ap-
pearing in your issue of July 29. In the
first place, it is but justice to say that
Farragut Post, G. A. r. of this city,
took no official action or had any part
in the ceremonies as a Post. Simply a
few comrades of the G. A. r., personal
friends of the deceased, acted as pail
bearers. The conrade is otherwise in
correctly informed. There was no Con-
federate flag on the casket or anywhere
else-nothing but the Stars and Stripes,
which DIR. Reed loved as Loyalty as any
who wore the blue. With this explana-
tion and denial we trust Comrade Aver
ill will breathe easier. The war was
long since ended, with the exception,
perhaps, in the minds of some hysteri-
cal old women in the South and some
peevish old men in the North. In the
language of our old commander, Grant,

afternoon session not a comrade pre-

The committee finds that the only
shortage in the food supply in the las
three months occurred during two
weeks just before the close of the fiscal
year, when the meat supply of IL

was reduced to IL ounces. The other
ratiOnS were up to the standard adopted
for the use of all the National Homes.

CALIFORNIA VOLUNTEERS.
An Effort to Get Them OH the Pension
List

Quite a number of men on the Pacific
Coast who served in the regiments
raised to fight the Indians during the
civil war have been cut off from receiv-
ing pensions by the decision of the
Secretary of the Interior that they were
not in the civil war At the National
Encampment a resolution was adopted
asking for the recognition of the "1s,
Battalion of MOuntaineers, Cal. Vols, "
as entitled to pensions. This was on
the presentation of the case by the
Department of California, and it's state
ment is equally applicable to troops
raised in other States. The memorial
presented by the Department of Cali
fornia and Nevada is as follows:

Whereas during the earlier years of
the war of the rebellion, and to some
extent thruout the war, the State of
California was a source of great ankle

leaders, by reason of the large propor-

thizers resident of the State, and there
was at times serious danger of its loss
to the Union, which danger was boldly

against the pensioner, and the law of

Several cases have occurred re-
Gently in Paris Of wife beaters doing
their better halves to death, but the
instance which has just now come
Under the notice Of the police can
scarcely have a parallel. Not only
did an irascible husband beat his
wife to death for simply singing a
song in neighbours room, but he
carried her, dead as she was, into
bed and slept beside her without
knowing that she was corpse. He
had gone, as usual, to spend the eve
ming at a wineshop, to drink and
play cards, but returned home earlier
than was his custom. He found
his wife absent, and was about to
60 out in search of her when he
heard her singing in a neighbours
room. He got into fury, broke
into the room, and dealt blows right
and left to his neighbor and wife.
The woman fell down and seemed to
him to be only in faint. As she
did not move he lifted her and car .
ried her into his room, where ne
placed her in the bed. He then Vent
