"The United States treasury 'saved' $3,918,886 96 last year by the death of 25,806 pensioners. This 'saving' must increase with melancholy rapidly as advancing years do their sad work on the enfeebled frames of the pensioners." At the auouai banquet of the Ohio society of New York, a life size painting of Gen. W. T. Sherman, by J. H. Beard, is to be presented to the society for its Fifth avenue headquarters by an Ohio man who purchased it from the noted artist. In the late war a militia offlter who was, in an emergency, promoted to Generalship in the army, was very am­ bitious to have a large staff Gov. Curtia referred him to his Adjutant- General Meredith, who, on opening his list of nominees, exclaimed: "Why, General, this is not a staff; it's a club." Cook Talcott, who died in New York Uity a few days ago, enjoyed the distinc­ tion of having defeated Gen. Grant for the position of County Surveyor of St. Louis County before the war, and but for the defeat Grant's later career would probably have been very different from what it proved to be. Mrs Adele Fassset, a former resident of Galena, 111., and at present an artist of note in Washington, D. C., is executing a life-size portait of General Ulysses S. Grant, expressly for the Grant exhibit which the Joe. Daviess County Woman's Columbian Club is preparing for the World's Fair. But little remains of the old prison-pen at Andersonville. There are oul^ a few half-rotted posts left to mark the line of the stockade, and a few low earthworks where the gates were. Some of the walls and tunnels dug by prisoners who hoped to escape thereby are also to be seen. The grounds are now the property of the Grand Army of the Republic. Wm. W. Powell, of Hutchinson, Kan sas, died at bis home in that place, ., Jan. 28. He enlisted in Company C., 6tb Ohio, on April 20, 1861, for three months, re-enlisted in the 11th Ohio, from which he was discharged Nov. 5. 1864, He was given a comrade's burial, and bis wife and children are receiving the heartfelt sympatby of his comrades. P. G. T. Beauregard, the famous con* federate general, died at his home in New Orleans, Monday, aged* 74 years. He was an officer in the Brmy prior to the civil war, and in 1861 deserted bis post as superintendent of the military academy at West Point to enter the bel army, and during the war attained some distinction as a military leader. For manj jcars he has been connected as manager with the greatest of swind­ ling eehsmes, the Louieisna State Lot­ tery company. Wm. Johnson, aged 69 years, died at his home near Lineuln, Cal., Jan. 18th, Comrade Johnson was born in Denmark, and went to that coast in 1846. He served in the army during the Mexican war; during the war of the rebellion in Company G. Second California Cavalary, for sixteen months. He was engaged in farming at the time ot his death. He was a member in good standing in Col. E. D. Baker Post. 71, and six old sol­ diers acted as his pall-bearers. He leaves a widow and one daughter. Brooklyn Standard-Union: Why should General Fitz Hugh Lee be chosen to command troops, either militia or regulars, at the Cleveland inaugural parade? Why should an officer of the militia of the one State, if he is an officer now, be placed in command of troops of other States ? Are there no regular army officers to perform this duty, and has Mr. Cleveland so alienated the re­ spect and loyalty of Union soldiers of note that none can be fonmd to lead a division in the parade? Why should men who have always been loyal be re­ quired to submit to the orders of a man whose record is conspicuously disloyal, in a public ceremony as important as a Presidential inaugural parade? "A Dabuque (Iowa) special states that James Samuels, brother of Giles Sam­ uels, of that city, was for 33 years con­ sidered dead. He has been found in the Soldiers' Home in Grant County, Ind. He was a member of the famous filibust- ering'exnedition against Cuba in 1873, and received a wound in his bead which dethroned his reason. He was reported among the dead, but finally recovered, having escaped the massacre of the crew of the Yirginius which followed its cap­ ture. For over 20 years he has wandered about in a dazed condition, and it was only by an accident that his wberebouts as discovered. He will be brought to Dnbuque and cared for by his friends.

War means not only public but private calamity. Through its means, nations are convuleed and family relations sev­ ered. During the Peninsular War, one of ohe generals, observing the numerous cavalry against which his brigade had to contend, advised the officers in com­ mand not to weaken their ranks by con­ ducting prisoners to the rear, but after disarming them, to let them proceed of their own accord, It was not uncom­ mon therefore, to see groups of French dragoons riding quietly to the rear, look­ ing for some one to take them in charge. It happened, at one time, that a cer­ tain hussar, having taken a prisoner, ordered him also to fall back, but the man, haven ridden some little distance, as directed, suddenly applied spurs to his horse, and made a detour to his regi­ ment. The hussar, observing this, as quickly pursued, overtook him and shot him dead. Having secured his rein, he conveyed him some little distance to tbe rear, and proceeded to take off the dead man's va­ lise. Tbero, on overhauling its contents he found a letter from his own father, which proved that it was his brother who had fallen by his hands. Stupefied with horror, he sat motion­ less and speechless for some minutes; then big tears rolled down bis cheeks, and he exclaimed. "The king has com­ manded, and God will forgive met" He put spurs to his horse, and rushed headlong into battle. That very day he was killed, near the spot where he had innocently shot his brother. >!^ut>i*ak« up iOim of Fofeftr. 'Gen. Grant once interfered in a most unwarranted and arbitrary manner with a poker game that was paying me a big profit," said Andrew Danner. "It was shortly after the battle of Shiloh, and wo Confeds were feelinp pretiy badly down in the month. I was on the ad­ vance picket-line one bright moonlight night, and the Yanks had a post only a few hundred yards away. We shot at each other until we got tired of the sport, then we swapped newspapers, coffee, and tobacco. A dare-devil young Yankee Corporal walked right into our post, sat down on a log as unconcerned as you please, and asked us if we knew how to play draw poker. Did we? We rather thought we did. Had we any greenkackB? A few. Then he pulled out a deck of cards and we sat down to play. Pretty soon another Yank came over, then another, until there were six of 'em, and we all joined in and played a wide- open game, forgetting that the crae) war was not over. Luck came my way, and I soon had everybody but the Yankee Corporal broke. The rest were squatted around, blue and gray, watching the game, when there came that ugly 'c-l-i-c-k ick' so familiar to the soldiers' ear. We looked up, and there stood a Yankee Sergeant with four men, their muskets cocked. 'Members of the 49th, consider your­ selves under arrest,' said the Sergeant. 'Ob, come now, Sergeant,' the Corporal began, when a horseman reined up behind the guard, and he concluded, 'Gen. Grant,-by hokey!' The blnecoats got up looking liks a lot of whipped schoolboys, and saluted their Command­ er, who eyed them as sternly as asphinx. They filed in front of the guard and started for the camp. When their backs were turned on him, Grant removed the cigar from his mouth, and, with a cyni­ cal smile, asked the Confederate nearest him: 'Who's ahead?' 'Oh, we're ahead.' replied the defender of the 3tars and Bars. 'Those chumps you'ye brought down here can't play poker a little bit. 'but they can fight, General,' I remarked. 'Have to sometimes,' said Grant, dryly, and rode awav." •mm M -7 wlSf •j A Patient's Terrible Predicament. . ? Anybody who has ever eaten so nmc£i dinner that it became necessary to mjc 1 button his waistcoat will feel a synif lf pathy for the Portland man whose ^vaistr coat was made of plaster. A Portland ; ! physician has a patient who received an* injury to the spine because'of a fall IS' p years ago. It has been gc'&ig worst ' ever since, and recently the spinal co|» ttmn began to twist out of place. It was deemed necessary to incase the rnap'i body in a plaster jdeket, consisting rif strips of fine gauze linen soaked in plaf«? , tsr cf pans and then wrapped amua# y the body from the hips to the armpit^ r When this hardens, it becomes a verity ble coat of mail and obviates the aece^ •* Bity of the support of the backbone 8$ most as does the shell in the case of || • lobster or crab.

He left the patient, but called soon after. The man was in great agony. He bad eaten his dinner, a slight repast, but as soon as the food began to digest the abdomen began to distend, and the space proved entirely too small. Th| plaster jacket was so tight that its - movai was only accomplished with thjfi greatest difficulty.--Boston Transcript.^ An Aged bat Skillfnl Sfcator. ^ A carious thing happened the othfl# day.
