There are hundreds of comrades in Iowa and all over the land--who from causes such as diffidence, independence self-esteem, carelessness, are suffering from disibalities contracted in a three or four years service, without pensions. There is no power that can force such veteran sufferers to apply for snch infu­ sion. and yet it is often a real fault and sin that they do not. Man does not live 4or himself alone, bnt for his family if he has one, or for his friends or community and in a larger sense than is sometimes recognized,;it his duty to make himself and those about him comfortable. Then too, the country for which he sifffers has grown rich and great and generous and a slight to her offers of gratitude, is not even left handed virtue. It has been a question with many honest patriots, how best and quickest to reduce the rev­ enues of the country. With us the ques­ tion % why should there be a reduction until justice is done to every soldier. The only fault seems to be that the revenues are needlessly and wrongfully hoarded.-- Grand Army Ad vacate. HEADQUARTERS G. A. R., KANSAS CITY, Mo., March 1,1889.--Circular Letter No. 3. Comrades: The attention of these headquarters has been called to the fact that Grand Army Posts, as such, by resolution or other official action have recommended persons for appointive offices, political in character. Such action is in violation of the spirit and letter of article 11 of our rules and regulations, which reads as follows: "No officer or comrade of the Grand Army of the Republic shall in any man­ ner use this organization for partisan purposes, and no discussion of partisan queataona shall hgr pwmitted in«#y of its Certain it is that this practice is liable to breed dissension in our ranks, and one that in the opinion of the commander- in-chief should be discontinued for the good of the order.

WARN B, Commander-io*ohief, JB0O n B. W io l, Adjutant General. A Button's History. A most unique relic of war is possessed by George Clutch, commander of the Isham Keith (G. A. R.) post in this city. It is a button off a private soldier's uni­ form, During the latter part of the war, Mr. ("lutch's brother-in-law, J. F. Gal- laher, whose home is in Ohio , had the misfortuue tQ be captured and confined in Libby Prison. The story of how the prisoners in that hole suffered and died from starvation, exposure and ill-treat­ ment is a part of history. After Mr. Gallaher had been there some time, he began to feel the need of money, which would enhance the prospect of reaching the Union lines should he succeed in makiug his escape. A .surgeon of his regiment, who was in the prison, was about to be exchanged. He cut off one of the large brass buttons from his uni­ form, and, separating thetwo parts of it made a cavity by taking out the filling. He then wrote on a slip of blank paper, in a small, but distinct hand, the follow­ ing note to his wife, which he inclosed^ in theeavityand again cealed the button together. "LIBBKI PRISON,--Dear wife--If w® are not exchanged by 1st of December send me thirty dollars in greenbacks. Put in a vial canned bp in a oan of tomatoes or blackberries. Send it in a box of provisions. J. JP. G ALLAHUL" This note is well preserved and was still resting snugly in its place in the button when shown to-day by Mr. Cluteh. To continue the story, the but­ ton was made to take the place of au- other on the uniform of the exchanged surgeon, who reached home and deliv­ ered it to Mrs. Gallaher in due time. It could not have escaped the close scrutiny of the officers had it been con veyedout of the prteon in any other manner, as the officers were particular to search all of the exchanged prisoners, including the surgeon, most minutely. Mr. Gallaher did not have much hope that his scheme would succeed, even should the note reach his wife, but he was surprised, for the fruit arrived in a short time, and although closely inspected by the prison officials, they failed to dis­ cover the vial containing the money coucealed in one of the jars of thick pre­ serves. Soon after receiving the money Mr. Gallaher succeeded in making his escape from prison, being one of the chief participants in the great tunnel expedition. He found the thirty dollars obtained in so novel a manner to be of great service to him in reaching the Union lines. When Mr, Clutch wus in Ohio a short time ago he was given the button and its contents to keep as a memento, and it is greatly prfieed as such .--Columbus (Ind.) Letterr. t A small number of men carry the un­ mistakable mark of the near approach of death awaiting them, says General I)e Gropriand in his "Army Reminiscences. They are not themselves couscious ot it, and'the number of those who read these mysterious signs is very limited. Some­ times in camp I have tried to describe the mark to officers around me. I do not remember ever having convinced anvone ofthe truth of my theory. One rainy day I was conversing m my tent with Captain Wilson, assistant ad­ jutant general of my brigade. W e were '• cfla Fredericksburg. Lieutenant Colonel Giluly, con the Fifth Michigan, entered. simply on some detail of was arranged in five minutes. had gone out--"Now," said incredulous captain, "here's a make a trial of my theory--ColoiiKi is marked." The captain evidently thought nc of it. But in the ftrefc battle Cole Giluly was killed near Fredericksburg, while bravely leading his regiment charge. Of all those on whom I have recogiused; the mark--and there are many--one only may have escaped death. If you ask me in what consists this nmrk I would find it difficult to reply. This fatal seal is imprinted rather on the general manner than on the features. * It appears sometimes in the looks, at tils bottom of which one divines the trembl­ ing of the soul soon about to depart; sometime in a smile, in which ajfgpKr th» fleeting shadows of a cloud whieb does not belong to the earth: sometimes in certain movements, as if worn out; in* certain languid acts, in which reaches its end. Sometimes, on the contrary, the fingers of death is shown by a feverish energy without reason, forced laughter, jerky movements. „ if a ^ '•rank Leslie's Popular Monthly "• FOB APRIL, An admirable historical and anecdotal article, with illustrations, on Washings ion's Inauguration, leads off the April number of Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly. It cannot fail to be in general demand at this centennial period, when President Hftpfison is preparing to join the commemorative celebration by traveling to New York over the game route taken by our first President one hundred years ago.. Another seasonable article is Ensign Wilkinson's account erf "Samoa, and the Troubles There." Dion Boucicault, in his contribution entitled "Going on he Stage," gives a charming, gossipy account of the work of training young actors and actresses at Mr. Pal- mer's Madison Square School of Acting, of which the veteran author actor is the head. The Illustrations for this article are drawn by Mr. Matt Morgan. Outing and travel are represented by "A For- night in Seville," and "A Virginia Jour­ ney," from Jefferson's Bock (Harper's Ferry to Monticeiio, by Henry Terrell; also by Professor D. P. Todd's scientific account of "Au American Eclipee Expe­ dition in the Orient," Elizabeth 8han>'s characterization of "Dinah Muloch &|rs. Craik)" deserves an appreciativenftding.

Catarrh. Catarrh^$eaJfeeas and.:,, ing membranes of the upper *n£| and Eustachian tubes. The et . entiste, Tyndall, Huxley and Seeder en­ dorse this and these autlioritiae cauaitot be disputed. The regular method; of treating these diseases is to apply an ir­ ritant remedy weekly and even daily, thus keeping the delicate membrane in a constant state of irritation, accompanied by violent sneezing, allowing it no chance to heal, and as a natural consequence of sucli treatment; not one permanent car©"* has ever beeii recorded. It is an abeo*- lute fact that these diseases cannot be cured by any application made oftener, than once in two weeks, for the membrane' must have a chance to heal before any application is repeated. It is now seven years since Mr. Dixon discovered tha par­ asite in catarrh and formulated his new treatment , and since this time his remedy has become a household word in every country where the English langni^e ie spoken. Cures affected by him vevittr- years ago, are cures still, there having been no return of the disease. So highly are these remedies valued, and so great is the demand for them, that the igno­ rant imitators have started up every­ where, pretending to destroy a parasite of which they know nothing, by remedies, the result of the application of which they are equally ignorant. Mr. Dixon's rente- is applied once in two weeks, and from one to three applications effect a permar nent cure in the most aggravated cases. N. B. For catarrhal troubles peculiar 4o females this remedy is a specific. Mr. Dixon sends a pamphlet describing his new treatment on the receipt of 10e in stamps. The address is A. H.

Yet one of our bright school boys has fig­ ured that this is true of Diamond Dyes. To judge from the stocks of our dealers in dye stuffs, Diamond Dyes own the field of package dyes, and are a com­ plete success. Of course they have imita­ tors. Nothing is a success until imitated. But no one wants to risk a counterfeit when the genuine can be had for thesanje pricet Three new colors have been added to the list of Diamond Dyes: Fast Stock­ ing Black, Turkey Red for cotton, and Brown for cotton. The manufacturer*, Wells, Richardson and Co., Burlington, Vermont, will send colored samplieeof these new dyes, with book of instructions to any address, free of charge. These ad­ ditions seem to have made the line so omplete that any shade can be matched with some color of Diamond Dyes. The beautiful sample book of shaded colore, lately sent to till dealers in dyes, will de­ light the eye of any lady. "It's easy to dye with Diamond Dyes," is so absolute­ ly true that home dyeing is no longer a difficult and disagreeable task. Almanacs, with their hints as to proper times for different work, tells us that now is the proper time for Spring dyeiug.
