Sherman will attend tiie encampment. - April 2Uth the annual rmmion of the Sultana disaster was held at Adrian, Mich. The Litchfield (Mich.) Woman's Belief Corps made of * rac^nt enter- tainment. It is estimated that the visitors fa Bos­ ton will number 200,000. There are nearly 25,000 inmates in the various soldiers' homes. The post at Ravenna, Mich., will build a hall during the year 1800. The Ohio Orphans' Home has 28 cot tages, and 1,100 inmates. The next annual encampment of the Department of North Dakota, will beheld at Lisbon. The Department of Colorado and Wy­ oming has 77 posts and 3,283 comrades The department gained 471 last year in membership. Some fifty ex-Confederate soldiers met in Weatherford, Texas, to perfect ar­ rangements for the annual reunion of Parson's Brigade at that place. Col. Vetzy, of Vermont, and Col. Sined burg, of California, are mentioned as pos sible candidates for the position of Com­ mander-in-chief at the next National Encampment. At the Vicksburg (Miss.) re-union there will be a barbecue on the Cham­ pion Hills battle-grounds, twenty-four miles east of Vicksburg. On the 31st steamboat excursion and picnic will be held at Port Gibson, down the river where Grant's army first landed and went to the rear of Vicksburg, The Attorney-General of Michigan, has made a construction of the State bounty law which will give $ 100 each to about 1,500 veterans who enlisted in Michigan regiments after Feb. 5, 1864. As you scatter the flowers, forget not those who still live, and who, with those that are gone, made it possible for sixty millions of people to truly sing of "The Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave." "For one set of canting hypocrites' we have nothing but unmitigated contempt. It is those men who are always prating of their "appreciation of genuine sol diers," but who the -moment any practi­ cal pension measure is proposed, begin to froth at the mouth over the number of dead beats, shirks and bounty-jum pern it will benefit. A good, square, open enemy is much preferable to these hypocrites," A man who ought to be the editor of the Chicago News or some other soldier- hating paper, lives near Lewiston, Me. He hitd one son, who was drafted and killed during the war. The father said ri»cei>tly: hort-aighted in not paying $400 iitute, for I have been forced to er since tohelpcarryon the farm cost me thousands above the substitute. Besides, he was a d to work, and the smallest saw." ,nt Tareney.of Missouri, who eodious place in this Congress previous ones by A.J' Warner, d E. S. Bragg, is fearfully elry time a pension measure some skulker or coffeesboiler benefited. Me would cather that 99 deserving soldiers should be de­ prived of what is due them than that one deadbeat should be accidentally benefited This is the hollowest kind of sham. He has made himself a willing cat's-paw for the bitter rebel and copperheads who fight everything iutended to benefit the Union soldier. Amos Cummins the brilliant ••Representative from New York, and who is as sturdy a Democrat as Tarsney, and was a first-vlass soldier, crushed him out the other day by telling the story of an old Kentucky mountaineer, who was found cracking away with his rifle at a big coon he though he saw on a tret. Closer examination showed that what he thought was a coon was merely a large- sized grayback hanging from his eye­ brow. The application was so obvious that the House laughed uproariously. Ksmorial Day. « Memorial Day again. More flowers are needed, more graves to decorate, and fewer comrade's hands to do the work of patriotism and love. Sheridan and several regiments have passed over to "fame's eternal camping-ground" since last we came with the old flag and our blossoms to bestow the soldier's grave for the sake of the days gone by. It is said that in China, once a year, the Emperor, with all his court, in grand array, in procession formed, march out into the country and there dig in the ground as a reminder that ail power and wealth and glory must come first from tilling the soil. So it is fiting that we, as a people, veteran and "son," old and young, should on one day in the year turn from our busy every-day life and go out to the resting places of those who gave their lives, or the best years of their youth and man­ hood, that we should, not perish as a nation, that we should have the "new birth of freedom," and attain to a posi. tion held by no other nation on the earth to day. That the credit of all our present glory bqlongs to them. Turning back­ ward the pages of the past let us once a year by their graves resolve to /take in­ creased devotion to that cause for which they gave the full measure of devotion." long as we boast of frecd vj^' - As long as the old Hag waves, 4 shrine for the loyal-hearted Shall be our heroes' graves." •;# rmm The attendance was unusually large at the regular meeting of Woodstock Post No. 108, G. A. R., held on Monday even­ ing last, and all comrades present ap­ peared to take a deep interest in the pro­ ceedings. The post decided to attend di­ vine services at the Congregational ehoftSh*Memtnter-ftondayy ^May also voted to extend an invitation to/the Camp of Sons of Veterans and Co. G., 1. N.

As it will be an occasion of special remembrance of the soldier dead, it is suggested that those who have come upon the stage of action since the close of the struggle do not fully appreciate the full import of the occasion. A full quarter of a century has passed since the war, and a great majority of those whose names were on the muster rolls have fought their last fight and laid down their armor, The 30th day of this month has beensetapart as a day of sacred remembrance of those who sacrificed their lives on. the field of battle, in camp or prison, and also of those who have died since they returned. It is the day in which each one should be especially interested in preparing for a suitable observance. It is a national observance, and the few veterans remain­ ing should not be allowed to bear all the expense incurred in the observance, nor do a greater share of the work. Let those who were not of the army, whetheryoung or old, show as best they may their ap­ preciation of the work of those still among us, as well as to suitably reraem ber those who have fallen. In a word, let all Harvard join in making rhecoming 30th of may one to be long remembered in the hearts of the old soldier boys and their friends.--Harvard Her&Id of May 23rd. %- May 30,1890; will be observed by the Grand Army of the Republic and people of Harvard^ The committee have ar­ ranged the following programme which will be duly observed. It is also req nest­ ed that all places of business be closed from 1 to 4 i\ m. on that day as usual. B. Manzer Post Xo. 215, will meet promptly at their hall at 11\ m., sharp.

' \ Lincoln's Gettysburg Omtfeau In compliance with the request of «ev- ^. "fj eral comrades we re-publish below the text of President Lincoln's immortal, oration at Gettysburg--incomparably ' , s| the finest bit of eloquence in any lan- • J guage : ' ' * Fourscore and seven years ago our • fathers brought forth upon this oonti- ' nent a new Nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all *• men are created equal. Now we are en- S-S gaged in a great civil war testing whet her ^ that Nation, or any nation, so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We are met to dedicate a por- tion of it as the final resting-place of those who here gave their lives that that Nation might live. But in a larger sense we cannot dedicate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and . dead, who struggled here have conse­ crated it far beyond our power to add or detract. The world will very little note or long remember what we say here, but it cau never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to he ded- rK icated to the unfinished work they have " 1 thus far so nobly carried on. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us that from these honored dead we take increased devotion j to that cause for which they here gave % the last full measure of devotion; that J the Nation shall, under God, have a new g birth of freedom; and that the Govern­ ment of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the ear^:'5y£' ------ ' >|ly An Antidote tor Cowardioo. Just before the battle of Antietam five recruits came down for my company There were no bounty jumpers at that stage of the game, although the courage and patriotism of all the recruits could not be vouched for. One of the batch was named Danfortto, a larmer's son, Iresfeirom Uife cdrn-flelds, and as we took, up the line of march to head Lee off and' bring him to bay.Danforthsaid to me: "See here, Sergeant, I've made a mis­ take." ^ "How?" "I hain't got no sand. I alius thought I had, but when I came down here and see what war is, I find I hain't got the spunk of a rabbit." "That's b{jtd." "So it is. We're going to have a fight purty soon, and I know what'll happen. I shall bolt as sure aS'shooting." "Then you'll be called a coward Mid disgraced forever." , * "That's so, and I don't want want you to do me a great favor." "Well?" "Wall, if I kin git mad I'll be all right • and forget my shaking. Keep your eye on me, and as soon as we git within five . miles of the rebels kick me good and® stout." After some further talk I promised him. We were in Hooker's corps, and as we moved in against Jackson, Danforth obliqued alongside and said: "Sergeant, kick me or I'll bolt. I hain't got sand enough to see a chicken die." We were moving through the timber, and I stepped behind him and "lifted" him twice as hard as I could kick. He shot i aside and next time I saw him we were at ; a fence on the edge of a cornfield: The fire was hot and men were falling thick. I had just fired from a rest on the top rail when Danforth came up, faced the other way and said': "More kicks, Sergeant!
