The gain In the order of Sons of Veterans for tbe months of January and February was 109 camps and 2,105 members. A number of the pension-hating papers are discovering that tbe '"real soldiers of the country" do not desire the passage of the Disability Pension Bill. It Is singular bow much more tbe fellows who staid at home during the war knoVr about the soldiers' wishes than the soldiers themselves do. Tbe Sons of Veterans of Minnesota Increased Its membership during the pa«t year by adding twelve camps and 185 members.

' In the Century magazine General Sherman contributes aa article on •' I'he Grand Strategy of the Vfar," from which we quote the following: "With the montti of May cauie the «eason for action, and by the 4th all his armies were in motion. The army of Butler at Fort Monroe was his left, Meade's army the center, and Sherman «t Ch ittanooga his right. Butler waa to move against Rictruoad ou the «outl|of James Kiver, Meade straight against Lee, intrenched behind thr Kapidan, and Sherman to attack Joe Johnston and pusti him to and beyond Atlanta, This was as far as human foresight could penetrate. Though Meade commanded the Army of the Potomac, General Grant substantially controlled it and on the 4tU of May. 1864, he crossed the Rapldan, and at neon next day attacked Lee. He knew that a certain amount of fighting, killing,' had to be done to accomplish ids end, and also to pay the penalty of former/allure*, .In the ^tldecuess there was no room for grand strategy or even minor tactics; but the fight • ng was desperate, the losses to the union army being, according to Pnis- 'erer, 37,737, to the Confederate loss el 11,400--the difference due to Lee's intrenchmcnts and the blind nature oi ' he country in which the battle was fought. On the night of May 7tli both parties paused, appalled by the fearful slaughter; but Geueral Grant com­ manded 'Forward by the left flank.' That was in my judgment the supreme moment of bis life; undismayed, with a full comprehension of the impor­ tance of the work In which he was en­ gaged, feeling as keen a sympathy for 'tis dead and wouuded as any one, and without stopping to count his num­ bers, he gave his orders calmly, specif ically, and absolutely--'Forward to Spettsylvania,'" An Iowa Opinion of Senator OBI While the Iowa Republicans pronounced and enthusiastic In pert of Senator Allison as a for tbe Presidency, they do nil ifest a disposition to play a or dog-in-the-manger policy, the character of their candidi both as a man and a statesman, doubtedly justified the high estfl tlon In which--to the credit both himself and his constituents--he held by the latter. It It folly pected that Senator Allison's friei will do all they can to secure his e] tion but should they fail in that*-, is reason to believe that they will gtt a cordial support to Senator Ottljteia^f in case his name should he brought toH fore the convention. This Is indk by expressions from some of the Ic Senator's most ardent friends, governor and congressman Geart --wr. being questioned on tbe subject by tMr Washington correspondent of Chicago News, the other day, aff stating that the outlook for ***• Allison was "decidedly fa?orabl significantly added: "At any the Republican candidate would tarl western man, and if it was not AUI he thought It would be Cvllom. said that Cullom was not enlj^l strong man but a growing man.

He sent a man along the -.irive to find a boat to go out to tbe rescue, but none ceuld b» Had. So going down town Mr. Gros* chartered a tug and got the dog safely ott his little float. The dogs tail wat frozen fast to the ice -- Journal, THK MERHOIUSTS' HBREAPTKR. The Rev. Dr. Cutnmingi, President of the Nortliwestera University, read a paper before the Methodist minis­ ters yesterday morning, in which he took tbe position that the unregener- ate would sufler endless torture in the Hereafter. He thought that vastly more than half the people would nev­ er see Heaven. Dr. Fawcett thought that even Jonathan Edwards could not picture Hell in as terrible language a? does the New Testament. Bishop Fowler, of the Pacific Coast was pres­ ent. but he merely exchanged greet­ ings with tbe ministers and took no part it the;discussion, Dr. Davis said he bad estimated tbat there were fifteen thousand million children in Heaven, as infants, even heathen, were saved. Tbe Doctor thought that three-fourths of all other people, went to hell. Dr. Axtell believed in future punishment, but bis bell wasn't of 6o high a temperature as that of some of bis brethren. He wasn't prepared to accept the description of hell given by Angel, who thought it wa* a great lake filled with molten brimstone and that the waves rolled as high aa tbe tide in the Bay of Fundy. Tbe waves often washed the bodies ashore., and it was the special privilege of the saved to walk along this shore with long white poles and thrust the damned back into tbe lake. The Rev. Frank M.
