The New York papers seem to think that soldiers are like ludi&ua--the only good ones are the dead. Col. John L. Hathaway has been ap­ pointed Governor of the Milwaukee Sol­ diers' Home. The vacancy was caused by the death of Gen. Kilbnrn Knox, who was a member of Gen. Sherman's staff during the war. Col. George E. Spencer, formerly United States Senator from Alabama, after various financial reverses, is a rich man again. He now resides in Nevada and is the owner of a silver mine and a cattle ranch. Col. Spencer raised the 1st Alabama Cavalry (Union), and com­ manded it through the war. "In spite of the thousands of lying col­ umns about 'extravagant pension expen­ ditures,'the whole amount paid out this fiscal year will only be about f116,000,- 000, or #24,000,000 less than the bond­ holders were paid by a heavily taxed people out of a depleted t reasury in 1808 What liars these anti-penBion howlers be!"

A crushing refutation of the soldier-haters' false­ hoods." 'Capt. Wilbur W. Smith, 20th Conn., now postmaster at Seymour, Conn., has just recovered the sword he lost at Chan- cellorsville in May, 1863, when captured in that battle. At the time he was a lieutenant of the 20th Connecticut, and he served a term in Libby prison. After a lapse of 28 years Capt. Smith's sword has been returned to him through the kindness of T. M. Caserly, of Warrenton, N. C., who accidentally discovered it in possession of one of the officers of the Warrenton Guards." AB.1B Parade UndsrTwo Flag*. The members of W. W. Cook Post, Grand Army of the Republic, of Hamil­ ton, Ontario, honored the memory of their dead comrades on Memorial Day by decorating their graves with flowers. Commander Loveil obtained permission of the Maypr of Hamilton to parade through the streets for this purpose, the Mayor stipulating that if the American flag was carried in the procession, the 1 uion Jack must also be borne. This was agreed to, and both flags were car­ ried side by side. The Place for ths Flag. A notable Decoration Day utterance was that of President Harrison at Phila­ delphia when he pointed to the half- masted flags and said they ought rather to be placed at the peak, because thoise whose dying we commemorate rejoiced in seeing it where their valor placed it. The suggestion is not orginal with the Presi­ dent, but it gathers new weight when ut­ tered by the chief magistrate of the na­ tion, who was himself a brave soldier. The flags in Boston were generally half- masted too. On future Memorial days let them be run up to the peak in token of a thankful and triumphant commemo- rdktiou.--Huston Herald. ' He was Ksntntl- In traveling over the battlefield of Antieiam I met an aged negro who seemed to know the lay of the ground perfectly well, and after a time I inquired: "Were you h^re when the fight took place?" - . " "Right yere, sah,",he rerlied. "Saw it all, then ? " "Well, sah, not 'zactly, but I flaw de dead folks arter de battles." 'Why didn't you witness the move­ ments of the troops?" 'Well, sah, I was dun embarrassed a heap dat day. I knowed Gin. Lee was dependin' on me not to whoop for de Yankees, an' dat Gin.

Dr. Hall has quite a curiosity in the shape of an old rusty relic of the late war says the Americus (Ga.) Recorder. It is one of the old pikes known as the Joe Brown pike, which were used by the con federates at the beginning and by some of the troops all through the war. Dr. Hall was living near Griswoldville, and after the engagement there he found the one he has. It consists of an iron shaft about a foot long and a head shaped like a spear. To the shaft was fastened a long wooden handle, but this part of it is lost. Charles F. jGillet, of Cleveland, has the honorable discharge of a dog from the nion army. The dog served for three years in Battery H of the Independent Regiment of the Pennsylvania Light Ar­ tillery. The discharge recites that "Jack Puppy" (brindle) is a "watchman" in Captain E. H. Nevins' company; that he was enlisted January 21, 1802, for three years, and was discharged June 10, 1865, by reason of expiration of term. General Fullertun, General Boynton, General Ambrose P. Stewart, and Colonel Kellogg, the commissioners of the Chick- amauga National Park, have returned to Washington. Upon their arrival at Chattanooga they found the same situa­ tion among the owners of the land as confronted the Rock Creek Park Com­ missioners here, namely, the holding of the lands much above the total of the appropriation made for their purchase by Congress. It was then decided to offer liberal terms to the owners of the several tracts embraced in the battlefield and in cases where an agreement is not reached condemnation proceedings, for which the law provides and which thd law also makes mandatory, will be at once begun in the United States District Court for Northern Georgia. Both the States of Georgia and Tennessee have ceded full jurisdiction to all lands and roads embraced in the park and its approaches, and it is expected that the government will have title to all the lands before the close of summer. Under the able administration of Com­ mander-in-Chief Webb the splendid growth of the Sons of Veterans is steadily maintained.

Thtre will be taken at Mill Shoals, White County, 111., the testimony of a number of witnesses, in which the strange story of Willian Newby will be told officially, the testimony to be placed in the archives of Washington. The "Newby mystery" is the case of William Newby, who after being counted as dead and buried on the battle field of Shiloh for nearly thirty years,reapj>eared at his home and was identified by his wife, children, and brothers. His history has already been told. It comprises a remarkable record of half-crazed wander­ ing from poor-house to poor-house since the war, when he was duly chronicled as killed at Shiloh. William Newby has applied for an honorable discharge from the United States army, and there is likely to arise one of the most novel questions involving identity and back pay ever known. As he was accounted for as dead since the bottle of Shiioh, April 6,1862, a pension of f 12 per month was paid his supposed widow for several years past. That he was absent from his command, Company B, of the Fortieth Illinois, ever after the battle of Shiloh, arose from no fault of his. The missing soldier, demented by an awful wound in the head, not only for­ got his duty as a soldier, but forgot even his personal identity for at least a quar­ ter of a century. The application for discharge was forwarded to Washington from his farm at Mill Shoals, where Newby is now living with his wife and children. The Adjutant General of the army at once began a secret investigation of the strange story. Captain Porter has found a witness who testifies to hav­ ing seen Newby in Andersonville prison, and who states that Newby was.,stark crazy at that time, and could give but little account of himself, not enough to establish any fact beyond that of his name. Captain Porter has also traced Newby through Beveral poor-houses following his discharge from Anderson- ville, and secured enough evidence to warrant the belief that his life since the war has been, as he states, one of contin­ uous pauperism. The identification will be practically a reunion of the old Fortieth Illinois. Not the least remarkably fea­ ture of it will be the presence of six mem­ bers of Company B who have been sure for nearly thirty years that they buried Newby in the Shiloh trenches on the night of April 8,1862. . A Monument to ifce Confider^ Btai tra­ vailed at Fredericksburg. FRKDERICKHUUUG, VU., June 10.--Thia was Confederate Memorial Day, and , thousands were in town to witness the unveiling of the monument to the Con? - t federate dead. The monument erected by the Ladies' Memorial Association, is of grey granite, and stands on a mound ' If of five feet and is five feet six inches high. 1 There is a column on each corner of red granite. After the street parade tl» f services at the cemetery were opened with ;' v prayer by the Rev. I. W. Canter of tlia ; <- Methodist church, and then General : f Bradley T. Johnston, of Baltimore, the 'f orator of the day, delivered the imvefling - / address, which was in part as follows: -y' Fellow Confederates, men and womeaa a Vor the last twenty years I have beea >} observing with growing wonder the pho- nomenon ot feeling toward the actors on , J the Confederate side. It is fact, and a . ^ wonderful fact, that pathos, sentimen^- ? the romance of the war between ttar States, is concentrated and crystallize^ about the cause of the Confederacy. Ia the North to-day no name thrills human hearts like that of Lee, no name electri* '"1 lies people like that of Stonewall J ackson ; , hashes, no saber glistens of Stuart. Neitnev Grant, nor Shmiafori* nor Sheridan, the great and sueeessiia %§ soldiers of the victorious side, have left . , such an impression on the imagination or the hearts of the people as have tha; ̂ ^ leaders of the Confederates who died ia battle or yielding to overwhelming forca' , * when further resistance would have been < criminal. I do not mean to intimate, for I do not believe, that the North haa •*> changed its opinion as to the wisdom of * our course. The.v thought then, an«l, K they think now, it was foolish to break up the Union, because first, the Union was profitable, and second, because ii was impossible before overwhelming* \ forces for us to succeed. But I do say ' ̂ that the idea is dimly pressing itself upoif 4< the Northern mind that we tried to avoid war and did not want war, but that i**,-, * was brought on, waged, and continued' ' ,7 for the purpose of keeping a faction in> power and enabling the controllers of irj faction to make profit out of it. fP "Mr A bronze statue of a Confederate sol- ' ^ dier, 9% feet high, crowns the apex of tha* » - monument. He is represented as stand* ; . iug at parade rest with a musket iq^ 4' hand and a blanket thrown over the lef% shoulder.

He retook ground which hatlj- - been lost and the day was saved. He1. had a horse shot from under him at Seven Pines, a favorite animal, the loss of which was deeply deplored by its owner. At this battle Gen. O. O. Howard lost his right arm, and it is said that Gen. Kearney, who lost his left one in Mexico,; saw Howard being assisted from the- field and called to hint saying, 'General/ w e w i l l h a v e t o b u y g l o v e s t o g e t h e r . ' r f ; l When Kearney's troops were advancing Kf,-,,, or under fire he would watch the officer^' 'jig closely, and if one of them gave any indi4"/'2"|a| cntion of skulking he would immediately' • • order such under arrest. It so happened ' • \ that some officers were arrested who did- i not belong to his command, and so.. Kearney ordered all his otticers to wear a piece of red cloth on their hats, and ' '"v. this became known as Kearney's red" patch. It was finally adopted as the ' badge of the Third Corps, being worn in " the shape of a diamond, the First divis- " ision's badge being red, Second white, and Third blue. Other corps theu adopt- ed badges, but the system was suggested > |^| by Kearney's red patch. After the battle y»Js of Malvern Hill, on the Peninsula, Kear- ' i'ls ney entertained the same opinion as Gen. • Hooker, that the Union army should have advanced and not continued its re- " treat. An officer in Berdau's sharpshoot- ,, . f , ers told me that when we left the breast- * works to go into the W hite Oak Swamp he was at one of the outposts and the || last man he saw pass within the new line was Gen. Kearney who had remained to see that every detail had been properly attended to.' He was a wonderfully mag­ netic man and though he had but on® arm he was a splendid horseman and could mount and dismount quickly and gracefully. He passed along our line with his staff about five o'clock on the night he was killed and the men cheered him. They always eheered Kearuey. I^ater I saw the ambulance pass bearing his dead body.--BmMlya Kngh, t) ili' i-v ..11,aIJ2 i Jtx
