John Palmer, of Xew York, is the new Commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic. The number of old veterans in line at the national encampment at Detroit last week was estimated as between forty and fifty thonsand. The National Ladies Aid Society will hold their fifth annual convention at Minneapolis, Minn,, August 25. The second National convention of the Daughters of Veterans was held in Mas- sillon, Ohio, July 28, to 81 inclusive. A. M. Henry owns a farm upon which the first battle of Bull Run was fought, and owned it at the time of the fight. He was away from home at the time, but his mother was killed in her bed by a shell from a Federal battery. If Uncle Sam were to get into any trouble an army could be organised in ten days from the ranks of the G. A. R., which, without a drill, could lick any army organised on this They are old and gray bat they would be there all the fame. Gen. Isaac Burrell, who served in the civil war as a member of the 42d Massa­ chusetts regiment, was forced to yield his sword to the Confederates at Galvee ton, Tex., in 1802. He has received word from a Southerner recently that present possessor would like to return it to him. Charles D. Robertson, the seaman who saved many lives by throwing a hissing Confederate shell overboard from the gun-deck of the Hartford, in April, 1862, now lives in Baltimore. For this act of bravery Admiral Farragut made special mention of him in his report and Con gress voted him a medal. The medal is the size of a f 20 gold piece and Mr. Rob­ ertson is proud of it. "Tn 1863, by act of Congress, the Secre­ tary of War was authorized to issue medals of honor to such officers, non commissioned officers and privates as should most distinguish themselves in action. These medals are yet being dis­ tributed where the records of the war show that individuals are deserving of them. Gen. Delevan Bates, of Aurora, Neb., recently received one oi the medals bearing the following inscription: "The Congress--To Brevet Brig.-Gen. Delevan Bates for distinguished services in battle at Cemetery Hill, Va, July 80, 1864." The Victoria crops of England, the cross of the Legion of Honor in France and the Iron cross of Prussia are each given .for the same purpose as is the medal of Honor of the United States--recognition of individual bravery. Hinety-Fifth Reunion The twenty-fifth annual Reunion of the 95th Illinois Infantry Volunteers will be held at Marengo, Friday, Sept. 4, 1891.

Moralitv of th 95 h Si' geof Vick bug Onie i Joseph Bleckner, Co. F, 45th N. Y,, Maplewood, Pa., having noticed com­ plaints from comrades concerning their treatment by Pension Examining Boards, tells of what comrades in his neighbor­ hood have to submit. He gives the ex­ perience of a well-known and respected, citizen, once a veteran, by two youn? physicians of the Board. The veteran says: "Thfdl no Drill Sergeant could ever be half so tyrannical in bis com­ mands to a dull recruit as these two physicians were to him while in their office. They snapped insolent questions at him, and while one was pounding his chest and lungs the other was making supreme efforts at straightenfng the dis­ abled leg, which had been crooked ever since the old veteran left the army, and for which he received $4 a month pension Nor would any modest entreaties from the old soldier be heard by the men of medicine until a little emphatic language was used. Among the many important questions bearing on the case asked by these two officials, were the following: Why don't you get those old teeth pulled out? You would look better. (The vet­ eran is past 64.) Pull'em out man. Do you keep a cow? Why don't you? You ought to keep a cow, man. Do you eat hearty? Why not? Eat more, man, and get fat. Look at me. I oat.'" It hardly seems possible that the Pension Bureau would have such men as examiners of old veterans, and the man insulted pro­ poses to report them to headquarters. How different the treatment narrated above is, to that received by those ex­ amined by the Board at Woodstock. The applicants examined there have nothing but praise for the Surgeons who comprise the Board at the ooants seat. Ed. J Fet Jour Qnitiine..f»ur. 4. W. 6 The Fightln* Wth....

The Grand Army of the Republic Is the grandest civic organization the world list of membership is the nation's roll of honor, containing the most illustrious names in history, the names of the brave men who, in the dark­ est days of the rebellion, followed the stars and stripes as the emblem, not of a confederacy of States bound together by ropes of sand, but as the emblem of an indissoluble Union of indestructible States. They followed that flag whether in sun­ shine or in storm, victory or deleat, with more confidence and greater reverence than did the children of Israel the pillar of cloud by day and of fire by night. Tho men who compose this organization are they who, when others faltered, laid their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honors" upon the altar of Liberty and Union, that "a government of the people, by the people and for the people" should not perish from the earth. As the war recedes the men who shared together the privations of the frozen camp, the hardships of the forced march, the dangers of the battle-field, the suffer­ ings of the field hospital and the untold agonies of the prison-pen long for the toueh of a comrade'selbowas of old, and seek the Post room, where the partisan and sectarian are not beard. The teach­ ings of the Grand Army of the Republic s so conservative, its practices so p&'i riotic, its comradeships universal, that all honorably discharged Union soldiers and sailors of 1861 and 1865, who have done nothing in civil life to cast a stain upon their honorable record in Liberty's cause, feel that they are at home when in the Post room, in the house of their friends. It is there that the general and the pri­ vate, the merchant prince and the clerk, the millionaire and the laborer, sit side by side as comrades, bound each to the other by ties, the tenderest, yet the most enduring of any in this world outside of the family circle. ••There are bonds of all aorU In this worM ot ours, Fetters ot friendship and ties of tovtn. And true lovers' knots I ween; The boy and the girl are bound by a klsa. Bat there's never a boad, old friend, like this We have drank from the tame eanteen." -- IFra. A.

We thought from appearance of the little General (C commanding the division that it like a fight. Certa Hence this forced march for the ] days--no rations, the orders strict, not a fence rail to be rebel hog, sheep or ox killed on A Bowls Kn'fe Conflict at tit* Battle ef Pit Bidge. While the fight was raging about Miser's farmhouse, at the battle of Pea Ridge, a Union soldier belonging to the 25th Missouri regiment and a member of a rebel Mississippi company, became sep­ arated from their commands, and found each other climbing the same fence. The rebel had one of those long knives made from a file, which the South so extensive­ ly paraded, but so rarely need, and the Missourian had one also, having picked it up on the field. The rebel challenged his enemy to a fair open combat with the knife, intend­ ing to bully him, no doubt / bat the chal­ lenge was promptly accepted. The two removed their coats, rolled up their sleeves, and began. The Mississippian had more skill but his opponent more strength, and consequently the latter could not strike his enemy, while he re­ ceived several cuts on the head and breast. The blood began trickling rap­ idly down the Unionist's face and running into his eyes, almost blinding him. The Union man became desperate for he saw that the secessionist was unhurt. He made a feint; the rebel leaned forward to arrest the blow, but employing too much energy, he could not recover himself at once. The Missourian saw bis advantage and knew he conld not loee it. la five seconds more it would be too late. His enemy glared at bim like a wild beast, and was on the eve of striking again. Another feint; another dodge on the rebel's part, and the heavy blade of the Missourian hurtled through the air, and fell with tremendous force upon the Mis- sissippian's neck. The blood spurted from the throat, and the head fell over, almost entirely severed from the body. Ghastly sight--too ghastly even for the doer of the deed! Be fainted at the spec­ tacle, weakened by the loss of his own blood, and was soon after butchered by a Seminole who saw him sink to the earth.--Book of Anecdotes of Rebellion. • b About 2 p. &oE9>4Mvoaacked i plantation of Chief Justice Ms most pleasing rural landscape, the ornamented with many hogs and but alas, they were not for the hui soldier.
