Harvard Sons of Veterans Camp No. 286, Division of Illinois, was mustered on Wednesday evening, Nov. 13th, '89, by Captain C. P. Barnes, of Woodstock. A delegation from the Capron and Wood­ stock camps were present, and a very en­ joyable and profitable evening was spent. The camp starts out with a membership of 19, and there is every reason to expect that it will grow to be a large and pros­ perous camp. After the camp had been mustered, speeches were in order. J. B. Clark, of Harvard, and M. P. Ellsworth, of Nunda, of the G. A. R., made some very appropriate remarks, which were well rflcei vtMl by the Soils, coming from the old veterans. They were followed by Captain Barnes and Sergeant John H. Higgins, of the Woodstock camp. The remarks made by Mr. Higgius we give in full that our comrades may note that the old veterans have sons who are, as rfar as possible, following the example of their fathers, as far as patriotism is con­ cerned, and are possessed of members who are eloquent and sound in express­ ing their position toward the old veter­ ans and the cause for which th6y fought : Captain and Brothers:-- I don't kuow as I am nrepared this evening to say a great deal in regard to this organization, owing to my limited knowledge of its present condition, or the degi-ee ot success it has so far attained in this country. But this much I can say, that no organization is founded upon principles more lofty or inculcates within the hearts of its members a greater de­ gree of patriotism than does the Sons of i Veterans organization. One of the most significant features in the ceremony of this order, and which struck me very forcibly when I was mus­ tered in, was the question asked by the Captain, "upou what principles is our order founded ? " and the response imme­ diately came from the camp, "friendship, charity, and loyalty." "Friendship, charity, and loyalty," upon these three principles every act of the Christian world is centered, and he who faithfully puts into practice what they teach, worships at a shrine that is unsurpassed for its good intiuence. The members of this Organization are taught by its very iirst principle to cultivate a friendly feeling for one another; not the cold selfish feeling that men have for each other in the social and business world, but a feeling impregnated in the warm pulsation of the heart and which biuds us together as a band of brothers living together in unity and peace. The second principle teaches us to draw the veil of Christian charity over the faults and weaknesses of each other, and from which none of us are exempt. It teaches us to cultivate the grand princi­ ple that wo should not live for ourselves •utone? bift the consldei'eWons of our i.in)tiiers should be recognized. That whenever we see a worthy brother iu dis­ tress we should extend to him a helpiug hand, and do all in our power to alleviate his sufferings. And last but not least, that whenever a worthy brother appeals to us for aid we should listen with a will­ ing ear to his tale of woe, and help to ligUten his pathway to the grave; for re- inember, he was once as young and sup­ ple as any of us, and when the nation was on the verge of destruction, he read­ ily and cheerfully dedicated his youth and strength to the cause of the Union., and bravely went forth and fought for* hi country's cause. Aye, I will go still farther aud on my own responsibility will say, tlmt although a veteran may have fallen in the gutter and is recognized as a drunken sot, which condition is at­ tributable to his own weaknesses and folly, yet notwithstanding his immoral aud dissipated life, i would advise every Son of a Veteran to stifle within his bosom that feeling of abhorrence and disgust that would naturally arise for the unfortunate wretch, and if nothing more, to greet him with a smile and a pleasant word as an acknowledgment of your- appreciation of what he once did to protect the stars and stripes, for in my opinion .a veteran cannot sink too deep iu the mire of degradation as to disqual­ ify him from being honored for his ser­ vices to the nation in the hour of need. Loyalt$ the last great principle upon which our order is founded, is the crown­ ing wreath that encircles the brow of friendship and charily. From it is emitted the spark that kindles in our hearts the flame of love, that makes friendship and charity possible. From it ,we absorb into our very natures the spirit that teaches us, that to be true to ourselve, to be true to one another, to be true to our country is the height of true American citizenship. And being true American citizens it must necessarily follow that we will be true to the mem­ ories of our fathers by keeping fresh and green in the secret recesses of our minds the sacrifices they made for tlje main­ tenance of the Union, aud while it is com­ mendable that we often refer to the tur­ bulent times '61 to '65, and review the many deeds of heroism and valor on many a Southern battle field by the boys in blue who proudly fought for the na­ tion's cause, and whose life's blood ran in tiny rivulets through hot Southern soil as they fell into that sleep that knows no wakening, causing a vacancy in many a Northern home that never can be filled. We should not allow, when reviewing the hardships and sufferings of that war, the spirit of hatred aud revenge to whisper in our ears causing our hearts to be filled with animosity against a section of people that was the cause of bringing gloom and sadness in almost every Northern home, but rather to accept the sublime sentiments of the motto inscribed above the door of every Grand Army hall throughout the land, "We forgive, but not forget." Yes, we, as Sons of Veterans, are taught by this organization not to forget the bloody fraternal strife in which our fath­ ers were involved, not for the purpose of engendering a bitterness of feeling for the Southern people, but rather that it may teach us a lesson that patriotism and love of country should be fully developed in every lu?urt north, east, south and west in order that we may avoid in the future a similar conflict and to impress upon our minds the fact that the govern­ ment of the United States can never be destroyed by any power ou earth. The Sons of Veterans organization although young in years is fast gaining accessions to its ranks, and I venture the assertion that before the last battle-scarred vet­ eran shall be called to joiu the ranks of the majority it will be one of the largest orgBnwatinnn m America "Ik* nun NO 19. of this will be dne to the grand principled which it inculcates, namely--Friendship, Charity, and Loyalty, i: i, "Bohwiag." ' There was a German officer attached*** our command who, judging from Mf# broad accent and his Dutch ways, hat|i; not been very long away from the Fath4® erland. At Helena, Ark., in 1863, were moving around in platoons, an^ learning the different movements, Dutchy gave the order, "Sehwing poya, , schwinglikeagate! The "poys' fested a tardiness in obeying the mand, when he shouted with all hi# - power, "Py taml Ty doat schwing?" All honorably discharged Union sol* diers should at once make application toT the nearest G. A. R. Post for membership and all such soldiers'sons should imme­ diately join or organize themselves Into a S. of V. Camp. To be a member of the Grand Army of the Republic is an honor to which Gould, with all his millions, can never aspire. We were informed the oth­ er day that a gentleman of large wealth, residing in this State, had offered a Post a very large sum of money if he could be taken %n as an honorary member. This is also true of the Sons of Veterans. George Gould can never purchase the* right to become a member of a S. of V. Camp. All his vast wealth would avail him nothing here. Sons of Veterans ; think of theae things.--Chanut Yidette. I The "Horrora" of War. The boys of the Sixth Indiana Cavalry related as a fact (though no one swears f to it) that on entering a region in Tenn­ essee, which had just suffered its first visit from scouting parties, an old wo­ man issued from a rather pretentious dwelling and addressed the captain in front as follows-: Gin'ral, I want you to go right off an' - stop this war, for it's offul harde on we'; uns. This mownin' some o' Ginera! Mor­ gan's critter men was in then woods thar and some o' you 'uns walk men comes in an' got into line o' fight right in my yard an' knocked down my new ash hopper, what 1 wouldn't a tuck two dollars and a quarter for." The many friends of Gen. Joseph B. Carr, will be pained to learn that his face is again troubling him. He does not tee! sick in the least, but the muscles of his face have contracted so much that hecan scarcely open his mouth, and he even insert his finger# between his This is ou account of a painful received in action. The General's physi­ cian tells, him, however, that he can re­ lieve him by cutting his jaw in to and fit­ ting in a hinge, and the old veteran pro­ poses to undergo the operation, al ­ though he knows it will be a very painful one. He cannot eat anything solid, and remarks that this is one of the pleasant- est ways of life. The General's friends hope the operation may be successful, 4; ana that his health may be folly restored. --National Tribune, Balling* and Desisioas Ij ths ANtstaaft Secretary of Interior ui ths Oaai- miuioner of f*naions» Assistant Secretary Bussey has render­ ed a dicision on the invalid pension claim of Bernard Bruner, of Co.

This disability the Surgeon says existed prior to inlistment, and upon this ground the claim was originally rejected. ^ The Assistant Secretary reviews the evidence submitted, and finds that Brun­ er at no time prior to his army service • exhibited more marked indications of mental alienation than a reticent man­ ner, fondness for solitode, and Ihe Hke He says: ' "Admitting that there was a predispo­ sition to insanity, and that the cause, or causes, which sufficed to distroy his mind would not have affected a stronger intel- - lect, that fact can not be pleaded as a justification for denying him a pension. It is a well-settled article of practice in the adjudication of pension claims that an unusual susceptibility to some form of disease existing before enlistment is no. bar to pension if the disease did not de­ velop until after the climant's admission to the servifce. The rule is essentially just. The Government took this man apparently sound, returned him to civil life manifestly unsound. It took Mm when he was capable of supporting him­ self, and returned him incapable, to be a burden upon others. I am clearly of opinion that he is entitled to a pension under the law." The soldier was discharged from the service August 12, 1863, and it is be&ev- ed that he will be entitled to receive hi* tween f7,000 and $9,000 in arrears ̂ < f jYj BOOKS CHEAP.
