The Congress which preceded the last one appropriated for pensions $ 175,017,- 400. The Congress which has just ended "saw" this amount and "went it" $ 113,- 312,351.69 "better," aprropriating in all $288,329,751.69. This the veteran should remember to the credit of the51st Congress, which they did so much to elect. . £ - The country has paid the bondholders over f4,000,000,000 fof a debt much less in amount than the sum the men who served in the army freely donated.,in sacrificed wages and opportunities. It has not yet paid back to the soldiers in the shape of pensions more than a quarter as much as the bondholders have received' To pay a Per Diem Service pension, with arrears of pensions, equal­ ization of bounties and the other acts which the Comrades ask for would not swell the sum to half what the bond­ holders have received. The bondholders have been generously treated; the veter­ ans most stingily. Confederate Graves DeeoraiM. NEW ORLEANS, La., April 6.--The Con­ federate Veteran Associations, assisted by the various military organizations of the city, this afternoon decorated the graves of their former comrades. After decorating the Lee monument the pro­ cession moved to Canal street and took cars for the cemeteries, where the tombs of the army of Northern Virginia^ Army of Tennessee, and Ladies" Confederate monument, and other burial places were handsomely decorated.

The Department of Michigan G. A. R. paid out in relief last year $6,248.58. The Union Veteran Union is getting a strong foothold in the State of Michigan. The amount so far subscribed to the Sherman statute fund, New York City, is |44,786. One hundred new camps, with 1,921 members, have been added to the order of Sons of Veterans since Jan. 25. The 2,600 members of the Grand Army of the Republic in Maryland last night celebrated the bounding of the order, twenty-five years ago. The R. E. Lee Camp of Confederate Veterans of Richmond has recommended April 26 as a day on which to commem­ orate the memory of General Joseph E. Johnson. A short time before his death General Joseph E. Johnson designated as his biographer his young kinsman, Mr. Robert M. Hughes, of Norfolk, a son of Judge Robest W. Hughes. Colonel Charles H. Freeipan, Depart­ ment Commander of the State of New York, G. A. R., will break the sod at the ceremonies celebrating the beginning of the Grant monument in New York, April 27. At the Iowa G. A. R. encampment at Dubuque, Wednesday the grand parade was reviewed by Commander-in-Chief Veazey, Past Commanders Fairchild and Vandtrvoort, Governor Boies, Senator Allison, and Congressman Henderson. General Sherman as a Cadet A man who "was well acquainted with General Sherman the other day said: "The things that General Sherman seemed to Jiave excelled in later in life were those in which he was the most deficient in while at West Point. During the time he was a cadet he eras never selected as a cadet officer or even a non-commissioned officer, as he wad neter deemed soldierly enough. f "As to the General's standing in his class when he graduated, he was seventh in engineering, seventh in ethics, fourth in mineralogy and geology, twelfth in infantry tactic?, eighth in artillery tac­ tics, and in deportment he ranked 216 out of a class of 233. Now the idea tbat a good scholar will not make a good commanding officer is disproved in this case. Had it not been for the General's low average in conduct, he would have in all probability been a star scholar; that is, he would have had a star affixed to his name, as the first five men are given this honor. The General's low grade was not due to bad conduct, but to his un- soldierly appearance." -- Philadelphia Press. "In all, the last Congress appropriated 1988,410,129.55, or #170,446,269.75 more than was appropriated by the Con­ gress which preceded it. The bulk of this increase was for pensions--$ 113,312,351. Of this about one-fourth-- $25,351,907, to be exact--was properly chargeable to the previous Congress, which sent over a deficiency to that amount to be paid by its successors. The extraordinary growth of the post office pystein caused an in­ crease of $22,668,343 in the expenditures for mails; new ships and big guns caused an increase of $14,042,334 in the naval appropriations ; Mississippi and Missouri Rivers and and improvements called for an increase of $2,738,678, and the Sun­ dry Civil Bill, which showed an increase of $15,530,499. provides, in addition to its ordinary items, for a number of river and harbor improvements, expenses of the 11th census, public buildings, Gov­ ernment Printing Office, Homes for dis­ abled volunteers, the World's Fair, life- saving service, artificial limbs for. sol­ diers. etc., etc." Thirty Tears a Wanderer McLeansboro (111.) special to St. Louis Globe-Democrat: In August, 1861, Wm. Newby enlisted in White county, Illinois, in Company D, 40th Regiment, Illinois Volunteers. On the 6th of April, 1802, he was wounded in the head at the battle of Shiloh, and left for dead on the field of battle. One of his comrades afterward made affidavit that he helped bury him. Last fall a man appeared here who could give but little account of himself, but who applied for transportation to Carmi, stating that he was once a resident of that county and wished to go on the County Poor Farm. Nothing was heard of him until last Sunday, when he again appeared here, and announced that he wasWm. Newby, of Company D, 40th Illinois Volunteers, and that he was sup­ posed to have been killed at the battle of Shiloh. Several members of his regiment met him on Sunday and Monday, and all united in the opinion that he was the identical man who was supposed to have been killed just thirty years ago. Moses Robinson, a member of Company C, same regiment, claims to have seen Newby af­ ter he was shot and supposed he was dead, but he recognized the stranger im­ mediately, and pronounced fyim the ver­ itable Newby. Creed A. Lay, a me&ber of the same regiment, who saw him shot, also recognized him. Monday he ap­ peared before A. M. Wilson, a lawyer of this place, and made application ior a pension, four of his old comrades making affidavit that he was the identical Newby who was wounded and left for dead on the battlefield of Shiloh. A purse was made up for Newby and on Monday be went to Carmi, hoping, as he stated, to meet some of his family or friends. New. . by is suffering from partial paralysis^ epilepsy and locomotor ataxia as a I#- $ult of his wounds in the head. He says he lay on the battle-field from Sunday nntil Wednesday, when a burial party caime to bury the dead. He wa« discovered to be alive, and was sent to the hospital, where he was afterward dis­ covered by an uncle, who was a rebel* and who took him to his home, and after­ ward took him to Key West, Fla. After keeping him some time his uncle placed him in the poor house where he remained seventeen years. He was then sent to Chattanooga where he remained in the poor house seven years. From there he was sent to Henderson, Ky., where 1M was again a poor house inmate for one year. Since then he has been sent from place to place, and the man seems to have had no knowledge of passing events until his sudden appearance here last Sunday, when a gleam of intelligence seemed to lift the mist from his past lite, and he announced to his astonished au<&- tors who he was. To-day Hezekiah Newby, a son of Wna» Newby, appeared here hunting the mail who claims to be his father. He is a young farmer, living six miles east of Mill Shoals, in White County, and only yesterday heard of the mysterious stran­ ger appearing here and claiming to be his father. He determined to investigate the matter, and to-night went to Carmi to find, if possible, his long lost father. His mother is living in Texas, is still a widow, and has been for years drawing a pension from the Government on account of the death of her husband. Voting Newby says if it proves to be his father he will immediately telegraph his mother that the "dead is alive," and have her return at once. This is the story of Wm. Newby, as told by himself and his com­ rades, and should it prove to be true, and those who knew him during his career in the army assert that it is, it will be one of the most remarkable JCO-. manees of th« late war. ; ;•$< ' A Gettysburg HeiiftK*. 1 In his reminiscenses of Gettysburg, Gen. rfenry W. Slocum narrates this interesting incident: • "We called at the house which has always been an object of interest to alf who visit this field. Near the line occu­ pied by the brigade under command of Gea. J. B. Carr,of Troy, N. X., stands « : little one-story house, which at the time of the battle was occupied by a Mm. Rogers and her daughter. On the morn­ ing of .1 uly 2, Gen. Carr stopped at the " house and found the daughter, a girl, about 18 years of age alone busily en» gaged in baking bread. He informed her that a great battle was inevitable, and advised her to seek a place of safety at once. She said she had a batch of bread baking in the oven, and she would re­ main until it was baked and then leave. ̂ When her bread was baked, it was given to our soldiers, and devoured so eagerly that she concluded to remain and bak» another batch. And so she continued until the end of the battle, baking: and giving her bread to all w^o came. The great artillery duel which shook the earth for miles around did not drive her ; from her oven. Pickett's men who charged past her house found her quietly baking her bread and distributing it to the hungry, When the battle was over herthouse was found to be riddled witfc: shot and shell, and seventeen dead bodies were taken from the house and cellar; the bodies of wounded men who ha$ , crawled to the little dwelling for shelters Twenty years after the close of the war ; Gen. Carr's men and others held a grand reunion at Gettysburg; and learning that Josephine Rogers was still living, but had married and taken up her residency in Ohio, they sent for her, paid her paa* sage from her home to Gettysburg and. back, and had her go to her old home and tell them the story which they aB knew so well. They decorated her with a score of army badges, and sent her back a happy woman. Why should not . the poet immortalize Josephine Rogers as he did Barbara Frietchie? " A few days ago while sitting in Elder Brothers' <Jrug store at Tingley, Iowa* Mr. T.- L. Dyer, a well-known citizen, came in and asked for something for a severe cold which he had. Mr. Elder took, down a bottle of Chamberlain's CougH Remedy and said: "Here is something I can recommend. It commands a large sale aud gives genuine satisfaction. It it an excellent preparation and cheap." Mr. Dyer purchased a bottle, and the next day when we saw him ht> said he wait much better, and the day following ap­ peared to be entirely restored. This is a specimen of the effectiveness of this prep­ aration.--Des Moines Mail and Times. Geo. W.
