It was thought that he was suffering with the new disease, la grippe, which has become so prevalent, but such is not the case. Gen. Lafayette McLaws, of the rebel array, who ran a race with the late Gen. John F. Hartranft, of Pennsylvania, from Lenoire to Campbell's Station, East Tenn., in the Fall of 1863, now lives in Savannah, Ga. Gen. McLaws was a class­ mate of Gen. U. S. Grant at West Point. The 59th N. Y. took part in 15 battles, in which it lost 659 men. Its first fight was at Antietam, which it entered with 300 men and 21 officers, of whom 224 were killed or wounded. wi:w: A Ystsran Indaad. William^Lee, who resides neai^Lolunv- bus, is the oldest Union soldier in Indiana. He was recently granted a pension with $1,500 back pay. He has been in strait­ ened circumstances for several years, but thin sum will enable him to live in com­ fort during the remainder of his days. A Fearfully Obstinate Man. At the time Gen. Grant assumed su­ preme command of the Federal armies, there were stationed in and about Wash­ ington some pet regi inents. These troops were kept near the capital and out of danger by influences that need not -be described. Grant at once ordered then to the field, and the order promptly created a stir. Thq next morning he call­ ed to see the Secretary of War. "We will keep these regiments at Wash­ ington," said the Secretary loftily. "I have already ordered them to report for duty in the field." "We will keep these regiments for duty at Washington," repeated the Secretary more peremptorily than before. "I have already ordered them to report for duty in the field," again replied Grant quietly. "Who is in command, you or the Secre­ tary of War?" was the angry response. l'I think the President is in command, coolly answered Grant. "Oh, you appeal to the President, do you? Well, we'll see." They had it out with the President in short order. The Secretaey opened fire: "General Grant wants to appeal to you, Mr. President." "Not at all. I have no appeal to make." "Well, he waata to tell you something." "1 have nothing to tell you." "All right; if you don't tell it I will." Then the Secretary proceeded to tell. Up to the time he had concluded the Presi­ dent had said not a word. When the ex­ cited Secretary came to an end Lincoln tilted back in his chair a little. "I tell you Stanton," he remarked, "Mrs. Grant' tells Mrs. Lincoln that her husband is a fearfully obstinate man, and 1 guess he's so obstinate that* we'll have to give him his own way." Answers to Qmsries. Is a soldier that enlisted for three years and was mustered into service July 22, 1861, entitled to an extra f 100 bounty j iMi act 9! Congress? Under the law ot July 20,186% he was, but the limit of time expired July 1, 1884. There is a chancevof having the time extended. It is justice to many who did not know of it at the time. But one pension can be obtained on ac­ count of the service of any soldier, and but one dependent pension can be secur­ ed in the same family, it matters not how many sous may have died out of it be­ cause of the results of service in the army. The father of a deceased soldier may oibtaih an invalid pension on account of his own service in the army, and the mother obtain a dependent pension be­ cause of the dfath of their son as a re­ sult of his army service, and her depend­ ence on him for a portion of her support. Hot tor "Hire * ' Iter. Washington Gardner, the former state commander of the Michigan G. A. R. is now a M. E. pastor in Cincinnati, O. He served as a private soldier during the war of the rebellion and hence knows something about soldier life. In the course of an eloquent lecture at Jackson this eloquent pulpit orator depicted in glowing terms the sufferings of the Union soldiers on the field and in the prison pens, and said: "Then you wonder why these old soldiers want pensions. You say: 'Didn't the Government pay all it agreed to?'„ Yes, fll or $13 a month. I say with the thought of the future world before me and the love of my wife and children in my heart, that I would not be hired for hire to go into the great battle again for all the gold that this great Government could give me, and no man who sets a value on human life could be hired to go to battle. But for the love of country one million brave men could be marshalled within thirty days to fight to the death for freedom and liberty. Then talk of pay I When the boy has paid his mother for the pains of his birth, the days and nights of care and suffering, heartaches, furrowed-brow and white hair, then, and not until then, can this Govern­ ment pay its soldiers in money for its services rendered. All that a son can do for his mother in the way of compensa­ tion is to show adequate appreciation, and that is all that the Government can do for its soldiera. feoms of the Msasarei We are in Fatw of. We are in favor of the immediate grant­ ing of a disability pension to every dis­ abled Union soldier and we are itt, favor of a higher rating than many of them Araaosvgetting.. . ..., •4.,...,, We are also in favor o\ a Bervice pen­ sion independent of the disability pen­ sion and that every soldier who fought for the Union and the flag shall receive from the government he helped to save a pension in proportion to the service ren­ dered or for the time he was in the ser- We are also in favor of a disability pen­ sion for all Uniou soldiers who were not disabled during their term of service and who could not now get a rating from the examining board of surgeons, but who have arrived at the age of sixty years. These men as they arrive at the age of sixty, in addition to their service pen­ sion should receive a disability pension Sufficient tojRfcke them comfortable for the remainder of their days. We are finally in favor of equal and exact justice to all who aided in saving the nation's life. Justice to the bond­ holder and justice to the private soldier in the ranks. That the bond-holder should not be angled out as a preferred creditor. We hope all can now understand our position. We are ever ready to stand by those who helped to save the Union and the flag. The Insatiable Money Lenders. The census of 1850 showed the tax valuation of the entire property of the nation to be $6,024,666,909. Since 1862 the money lenders have re­ ceived in principal and interest and en hanced valuation of their bonds, $5,065,- 668,942. That is, in return for a comparatively small investment, the money-lenders have received fully five-sixths as much as every acre of land in farms, plantations or town-lots, every mile of railroad, every ship.or boat, every factory, every negro every head of horses, cattle, sheep and hogs, every dwelling and furniture, every watch and piano in the entire country would have sold for at Sheriff's sale. They have received hundreds of millions more than all the property in the great and rich State of Pennsylvania was ap­ praised at in 1880--more than the value of all the property in the thriving States of Ohio and Indiana According to the last census. When it is remembered that they would not have gotten one dollar of this vast amount if the soldiers had not fought and endured to the end, the base ingrat­ itude of the moneyed classes in fighting against pensions becomes very evident. --National Tribune. IS CONSUMPTION INCURABLE? Read the following: Mr. C. H. Morris, Newark, Ark., says: "Was down with abscess of lungs, and friends and physi­ cians pronounced me an incurable con­ sumptive. Began taking Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, am now on my third bottle, and able to oversee the work on my farm. It is the finest medicine ever made." Jesse Middleware Decatur, Ohio, says: "Had it not been for Dr. King's New Dis­ covery for Consumption, I would have died of lung troubles. Was given up by doctors. Am now in beat of health. Try it.
