Gutter Pott, Ne. 40, re­ ports the largest anoant expended la cbarity, 91,468, Sixteen thousand one hundred and forty eight dollars were expended la charity during the past year. The annual encampment of tbe de­ partment ef New Mexieo -vlll be bald at Kingston, New Mexico, about AprMlst. - The sixth anaual ooaTentien of tbe Uoparment of Oonnectlcutt, W. R.

Massachusetts has, a Orand Army membership twenty thousand strong, There was expended for relief durlnit tbe year ending Dec. 31st, 1888, •48.319. General A. P. Hevey was chosea president of a sew veteran society which is known as tbe Sooletyof Vicks ourg, aad which is composed of vet­ erans of that oampaign. Colorado has over seven thousand live hundred eld soldiers, three thous­ and fire huudred of whom belong to the Graed Army. The department encampment el Colorado and Wyoming will be held a (ireely, Col, March" 13th. Sixteen thousand pensioners, names were dropped from the rolls during tbe past year oa aooount of death. Six thousand comrades answer the final roll-call eaoh year. And the rate is rapidly increasing though the num aer ef surviving soldiers is yearly be coming less. There are eighty-two National cem­ eteries scattered through the country; 3-24,000 soldiers lie buried In their uoDfloes: of these graves, 14,900 are, yet marked by that tad word "un­ known." We aotlee that tba Grant Monument Association still exists. The latest re- pert of the treasurer shows that 9130,- 343.57 have been collected. That would aeem te be an amount of money that if expended judiciously, would procure a monument worthy of tbe dead hero and that would he a credit to the givers and an everlasting honor to the dead hero. ^ A National home for the disabled veterans of the confederate army at Austin, rexas.has been established, and an appeal has been made to the people of the North to contribute to Its en­ largement and support. When the South has done what it can the peopje of the North should cive as generously as possible. * ^ The New York |fVe«s aeks: "How about that tomb for Grant ?K It is a pertinent qnestloa for New Yorkers to ask themselves. They were loud in their promises before General Grant's burial place was selected, but while nearly every other prominent city lu tbe|land has since erected, monuments to commemorate the' glory of the grand old hero,'Ne# York seems to have forgotten that she has an obliga­ tion to meet and • promise to ful­ fill. General Rosser In a speech at Balti­ more declared that It is still a fact that a Southern gentleman can wblp a "puritanicaB Yankee" every time, and he announced that be U prepared to convince p® r old decrepit, blood- thirsty Sberman that this declaration is absolutely true.

Beade <li a model assistant adjutant general, and next to the department commader won the admiration of the comrades. Chief of Staff H. P. Thompson did not seem to have any particular duty te perform but gave the occasion a certain dignity which his comrades so appreciate that he is mentioned for the place of department commander in the near future. Comrade James A. Sexton I« a stal­ wart commander in every respeot. His pleasant ofi-handed meaner as tbe presiding officer of the encampment, won the admiration of all tbe com­ rades. 'Is'nt he a dandy.' 'He's a hustler,' 'Weuld'nt he make old Bls- mark hunt his hole,' and many other complimentary remarks were to be heard when he made a ruling or an­ nounced a decisloa. At no previous encampment has the business been dis­ posed of so rapidly and wltb as much pleasant feeling among those attend­ ing as at this encampment* The Hew Commander. General James S, Martin, the new department commander, Is a Virgin- lan by birth aud Is 63 old. Be was born in Soott oounty.

Tbe above, with more of the same tenor following appeared in our columns last week, and should have been credited, to some paper published South, we t#live the Memphis Appeal, It was printed as if eetiling frm the editor of tbe Soldier's Department. Net caring to be consid­ ered the author of the article is our reason for making tbe above state­ ment, ^ The oomrades of Kansas propose to to have a law passed to prevent tbe wearing or using of the Grand Army badge unless they are legally entitled to do so. The following lis a copy of the bill now before the legislature of Kansas, Section I. Any person who shall wilfully wear the badge of the Grand Army of tbe Republlo, or who shall use or wear the same to obtain aid or asslstanosi withln the state, unless he shall be entitled to wear or nse the sa ne under tbe roles and regulations of tbe department of Kansas, sb'all be guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction, shall be imprisoaed for a term not exccedina: thirty days or a fine not exeeding #25 or by both such fine and imprlsonmeat. Illinois stood fourth in the list great soldier oommeawealths daring the war for the iJhlon. She sent two hundred and flrty-nlne thousand one hundred and forty sevea volunteers to tbe Union army, and at every addi­ tional moetlag of the Grand Army of the Republic has increasing laterest. Th® ranks are thinning because death takes a larger number of the veterans each succeeding year. But the feeling *1 comradeship grows stronger aad there is a firmer toueb of elbows with ovary anaual meeting. The last year saw the greatest gathering of voter* ans in the history of this country, and It also, saw tbe most determined si- tempt to break up tbe G, A. B. organi­ zation ever made. The attempt lb Ill­ inois was worse than failure because those who encouraged revolt on par­ tisan grounds ar® victims of the r*sac*r t!?s tfcr.t cs: lu ag»lu»» ibpm. iue meeting at Springfield tells a story of strength and harmony.--Inf^r Absent SsnAsi, Some curious cases of absent mind- ednese occur in ail communities and at times wltb most all persons. A gentle­ man living ia this city was asked by bis wife If he would salt tba padding as she was busy. Like a good husband be proceeded to the salt box, toak a handfull of salt, weal to the stove and put the salt Into the ash pail which sat by the stove and spit a good quan­ tity of tobacco juice into the pudding. The proof of this pudding would ha In . chewing tobacco. . * There is another gentleman la towa who Is so absent minded that bis sel­ dom thinks to kiss his own wife, bat ha never misses an opportunity to kfaa some ether man's wife. * A lady had a bad attaek of this la a1 store and pieked up and carried off a valuable package, and did not remem­ ber to bring It back until visited by the proprietor with the mild remiader that she had better do so. One of our very nicest young aiea asked a young lady to accompany bar home from church. On their way they had 10 pass a corner where the gentler uian turned to go to his borne, and dropping the lady's arm he said good night in a tone that was dlstaat and freezing and went on his way alone. The next morning he awoke with a 8'art aud the realization of what ho bad done. Se visited the lady and at­ tempted explanations, but there la a deep wide obasm between them, frosea over, but aot quite thlek enough to crosses. J The night that the livery stables ouraed, ween the fire alarm sounded, a man in tbe third ward rushed into his woodshed caught a basket Instead of a pail and ran all the way to the fir* cryiag "get out" instead of Are. JHitw* cases all transpired here, bat* bere Is oue, vouched for by our fore­ man, that happened in Belolt.
