The boat refutation of the soldier-hater is to challenge him to make a visit to any pension agency on pension days and see the character of the men and women who go thither to get their little stipends. One look oyer the line will be enough to stamp him as a slanderer. Maj. J. K. Waseon, formerly a pay­ master of the United States array, is said to be serving in the Japanese army with the rank of colonel. He was tried for connpiring against the government and sentenced to death, but escaped the pen­ alty acd is now in high favor. There is another spasm of temporary activity in regard to the New York Grant monument. Work will be at once begun on the monument, and the present tem­ porary tomb will be removed inside of the north end of the main building, where foundations are already laid. 80 far $151,213.89 of the proposed $1,000,000 fund has been collected. "A touching incident occurred on Me­ morial Day, at Trinity Cemetery, New York City, at the grave of General John A. Dix. The Rev. Morgan Dix, the son of the old hero after whom post 135, G. A. R., under whose auspices the cere­ monies were held, was named, before offering the benediction, asked the privi­ lege of indulging in a little pardonable pride, and calling his son, a bright lad of 10 years, to his side, he introduced him to those assembled as John A Dix, Jr., a grandson of the old general whose name he bore. Can you wonder that at this re­ vived memory of the past nearly every­ body present was affected to tears? t* "f £?> Jt?, j.. r. ""J* , "Col. Dennis B. Dailey, 2d Wisconsin, of Council Bluffs, has a war record of *-hich he has a right to be proud. At the battle of the Weldon railroad, Aug. 21,1864, while the Colonel was on the staff of Gen. Cutler, he rode out in front of the line and seized the colors from a rebel bearer and demanded the surrender of the men in bis immediate vicinity. Many of the enemy complied with the Colonel's demand, but Gen. Johnson Hagood, of South Carolina, who was in command of the brigade of (Confederate troops, yelled to his men to shoot Col. Dailey. They not complying, Gen. Hagood drew his revolver, and shot Dailey through the body< He fell from 't - 1 7 . •• •;' *./ f ?>. •> • • - V ' J V X ,' * " AT his horse, which was immediately mount­ ed by Gen. Hagood, who rode off and the demoralized men seized the colors and left the Colonel weltering in his blood. He was not killed, however, as he has been a successful lawyer since the war. He was four times brevetted for distin­ guished bravery." A story is told of a Yankee skipper, whose name unfortunately is not given, and he is now dead, that he sailed his vessel into the port of New Orleans one morning at daylight. Two boat loads of men earns rowing out and boarded the ship. "In the name of the Confederate States of America," etc., they said. The captain came bounding from his cabin in his night-shirt. "Who is on the deck of my ship? "he roared. When he learned who wore the men who wore the grey uniforms, he roared like a bull and threatened to throw the Confederate States of America overboard. He' ran back and ordered the stars and stripes to be run up. As the old flag went up they threatened to burn his ship. "Burn my ship!" he bellowed. "Burn my ship! Burn it and I will blow your blasted New Orleans out of the water." And they burned his ship. "DeWitt C. Taylor, of Kansas City, Mo., better known in the Army of the Potomac as 'Milton the Scout,' has a wonderful war record. He is 75 years old, and he carries lots of Confederate lead. He enlisted early in the war in the 2d Michigan; was in the battles of Bull Run, first and second, Antietam, Freder­ icksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Wilderness, Spottslyvania, Cold Harbor, Petersburg, and was at the "round up" at Appomattox, He was transferred to Co.

Francis Wash­ burn, ten other officers, and sixty-seven troopers of the 4th Massachusetts caval­ ry, supported by two weak regiments of infantry, not more than six hundred bayonets in all, and Lee's army. In the pursuit of Lee, Col. Washburn's com­ mand had been sent to destroy a bridge at Farm ville, where the Confederates were straining every nerve to reach. The sup­ position was that the bridge was unde­ fended; but when Col. Washburn got there after a forced march he found that it had been covered by earthworks. Lee's army was close at hand, and Col. Washburn determined to do all in his power to hold it there or to detain it as long as possible. He knew that every moment he could delay it shortened the war. With his handful of cavalry he lit­ erally charged the head of Lee's army. There were less than four score sabers behind him, but every man was a heru, and they dashed at Lee's vanguard with such speed, and fierceness as to pierce 'the strong lines of infantry. That Conflict became a fierce hand to hand struggle; pushed back by the impact of numbers, the Massachusetts troopers reformed and charged again and again. Washburn was mortally wounded, and scarcely an officer or man escaped injury. His in­ fantry supports were surrounded and captured. Yet the fight had not been fought in vain. Lee got the impression that Washburn must be simply the ad­ vance of a great force, and that the fury of his attack must have been inspired by the consciousness of powerful supports close at hand. Instead of pushing on be halted and intrenched, and Ord's army, from which Osborn had been detached, came up, and Sheridan succeeded in en­ gaging the Confederates at Sailor's creek. Washburn had shortened the war. His fi^bt wa* a Balaklava which no laureate hss hymned, and of which most of his countrymen never heard, but a Balak­ lava charge with a purpose which he ac­ complished at the cost of his own life. moved adjourn liifil OAPTUJUM IaOBO.

Ninety-five per cent of the teachers were enrolled during the week, and an average attendance of 85 per cent. At the meeting of the honorable board of supervisors. September, 1889, $50 was ppropriated for the purpose of covering expenses incurred by local teachers' meet­ ings. This appropriation has been ju­ diciously expended.
