Forty-seven turkeys were cooked for the soldiers at the Home at Chelsea, Mass., on Thanksgiving Day. The Ohio Department of the Grand Army has a membership of 44,000. The profits of the Grand Army fair re­ cently held at Montpelier, amounted to 1475. U. S. Grant Post, Bay City, Mich., has 260 members in good standing. Dec. 15, the veterans in the soldiers' Home at Grand Rapids, Mich., numbered 549. Vermont furnished 34,284 men for the Union army from 1861 to 1865. Only one-sixth of the men who were in the service are on the pension rolls. Boston Corbett, the famous slayer of John Wilkes Booth, is now in old Mexico. It is said that Kansas can present a r rwaeamtatlvB «f- «wo«y irmy. A Post No. 8, Middleboro, Mass., is rais­ ing a $5,000 fund to be used in erecting a soldiers' monument. General Alger is working up an elab­ orate scheme to make an individual his­ tory, as far as possible, of every man who is now living who served in the war. The National Military Homes at Mil­ waukee, Wis., and Leavenworth, Kan., are crowded, and applications for admis­ sion are being refused. The ninth annual encampment of tbe Department of Missouri, G.

He saw service at Ball's Bluff, Fredericksburg, ChanceUorsville, and many other hard-fought battles of the Army of the Potomac, as a member of Company E., Seventh Michigan Volun­ teers. The Soldieefe' Orphans' Home, at Nor­ mal, 111., had tbe best of good times on Christmas eve.

He cannot forget that the gallant Corporal was in the wrong army during the war that is in the Union army--which is enough to condemn any man in the esti­ mation of the "Freak," 'notwithstanding he attempted in last week's Democrat to fix up his old fashioned "Bayonet Points." Wonder why he never prints the resolu­ tions adopted by the different camps of Sons of Veterans? Also we have failed thus feu: to have known him to publish what the old soldiers of Nunda and He­ bron had to say about his course a few months ago. Perhaps he has failed to comprehend what the boys were driving at. Poor fellow, his is a desperate case to patch np. -Let up on Corporal Tanner, please, and give General Bussey a little attention.

Griffin says: The long nights of the next four months will af­ ford ample opportunity to do work for the Order. Every brother, Camp and Division are earnestly urged to put forth unusual effort to increase our member­ ship, popularity and influence. See to it that each member of every Grand Army Post in your town, city or division is thoroughly posted as to the principles andjpurposes of our Order. Send fre­ quent and urgent invitations to the local Grand Army Posts to attend the meet­ ings of your Camp, either singly or in a body. Make them feel that we desire to work with and for them; not to usurp any of their prerogatives. Let there be frequent meetings of Camp officers to re­ hearse, memorise and become familiar with the work, until every portion is per­ formed with the true military precision. Make special effort to render each meet­ ing of your Camp bright and interesting, and secure the attendance and co-opera- tion of every member. A YQPNQ TESSBHEKM'S T.W»WB» Second Auditor Patterson has received the following unique letter from a Ten­ nessee son of a veteran: KNOXVILLE, Tenn.,Dec.2,1889. GEN. J. N. PATTERSON.

This, too, was largely paid by the veterans, who formed the bulk of the tax-paying producers of the country in the years immediately after tbe war. This great prosperous country--which is daily increasing in population and wealth --can certainly afford to pay $80,000,000 a year or more for a few years to the men to whom it owes infinitely more than it ever did to the bondholders.--iVat. Trib. A Hero's Pardonable Weakness. The Detroit Tribune tell that a woman recently approached General Sherman in a railroad car, and pulling at his coat asked: "Is this General Sherman? 'Yes, madam." "General Sherman, felt that I must see yon. I wanted to look at you and talk with you. I bad three brothers in your army, in the Fif­ teenth Corps. Two of them will never come back again." The General straight- up in a minute and his eyes got a trifle moist. He would have done anything for her after that. Three brothers in his command and two killed! He sat there and talked to her with such courtly dig­ nity that, encouraged, a crowd of women the companions of the sister of the three soldiers, crowded into the car. No one would have suspected that his nap bad been spoiled. The woman who awakened him was young and by no means unattractive in appearance. His color deepened as the train prepared to pull out. "General, is it--is it--true," she asked hesitatingly, "what they say about your kissing the women wherever you go?" "I'm afraid it is." "Well, why do you do it? Does it please them? " I don't know whether it does or not. Some of them say it does." "General can I--oan I"--then Bhe stopped. "Can do it?" she finally blurted out. The General was on his feet in an instant, and The Chafes was Dtftantt.
