The figures may un dergo a slight change in revision, but this is substantially correct. General Maury is the third distingtriah- ed Confederate officer to have a desk in the War Records Office in Washington. The other two are General Marcus Wright and General George Field. The following pensioners were on the rolls May 81, 1890: Army invalids, 415,650; widows, 105,759; navy in valids, 5,437; widows, 223.

The number in none of the rest of the States eome np to five figures. Gen. Longstreet says that on one of the long night marches in Virginia the only way he could get rest was to lie down on the ground while the column was passing and sleep for an hour or so. He woke up just as the stragglers were' coming along the rear, and an old Geor gia cracker was soliloquizing about the situation. "1 love my country and I'll fight for it, and I'll die for it, and I'll go naked and barefooted for her, but when this war is over I'll be caused if I will ever love another country." Capt. Robert M. Woods, *;#l!fiiiant of the 64th Illinois, was the first adjutant general of the Grand Army of the Repub lic. "Little Red-Headed Bob" signed every paper discharging the men of the Fourth Division, Seventeenth corps, when they were mustered out at Louis ville, Ky., in July, 186.V He was a pop ular man in the Seventeenth corps, and his genial qualities were known to the rank and file of every regiment in the corps, who used to joke him upon his red head whenever he passed the marching column. He always took these pleas antries as they were meant by the boys, and had a witty answer to all their jokes. His name should, and will, go down to posterity with that of Dr. Stevenson's, and when the National Encampment comes to Washington "Bob" should be one of the favored gaeata.--National Tribune.

Professing to be a Union in an and to desire* the suppression of the Rebellion, he yet permitted himself to be bulldozed by the Southern leaders into sanding a mes sage to Congress, after the election of Lincoln, in which while denying the right of a State to secede, he denied thfe right or authority of the National Government to coerce a seceding State back into the Onion. He allowed the old traitor, John B. Floyd, his Secretary of War, to send nearly all the munitions of war from Northern to Southern arsenals, that his fellow-traitors of the South might have the means whereby to destroy the Onion. He permitted his Southern masters to bulldoze him into the refusal to send pre visions and re-inforcements to the gal lant little band under Anderson at Fort Sumpter, until the rebels had raised such an army and so fortified Charleston that he was not able to relieve Anderson and prevent the insult to the flag the old coward had sworn to protect. The witty politician, John Van Buren (son of ex- President Martin Van Buren) character ised the attitude of Buchanan in very few words. He said: "President Buchanan sat in the White House drawing, like a bread-and-milk poultice, the rebellion to a head." When Buchanan was elected President in 1856, Parson Brownlow, of Tennessee, predicted that under his ad ministration the country would go to the devil, because Buchanan had never been married and had never loved a woman.*-- Canteen. The recent reunion of the 95th Illinois, held at Marengo, was fairly well attended. There were 128 old veterans present. Marengo was finely decorated, and a good substantial dinner was served, which no one knows better how to appreciate than the old soldiers. The programme as published herein some weeks ago was carried out and everything went well. Company E was the most fully repre sented, there being thirty members pres ent. Company H only had three mem-, bers present. One by one the "boys" are dropping off, seve^H having joined the silent majority since the reunion of year previous.

It took Patrick years to acquire the habit of sticking his toes out. Just about the time he had succeeded he was transferred to the cav alry, where his habit of sticking out his toes interferred much with his usefulness as a horsemen. The sergeant was con tinually calling to him: "Stick in those toes, Patrick," much to his disgust, and he exclaimed with some emphasis: "Divil take such a service. For five years it was nothing but 'Stick out your toes, Patrick.' There is AO plaxin' the black guards." Prompt Knllng. It is chiefly in civil courts that com plaint is made of "the laws delay." Courts martial are only temporary organizations, and can not continue cases from term to term. But with all the promptness of military legal proced ure, it is not often that a decision is ob tainable with so little hesitation as in the following case: An old lady living in "Dixie" in the time of the rebellion brought her com-, plaints to the headquarters of the Con federate General Bragg, where she was met by his adjutant, and the following conversation ensued. Old Lady--Is this where Capt. Bragg lives? Col. Brent--Yes, madam; can I do any thing for you? Old Lady--Well, you see, mister, I live over where the flghtin' was, and when Capt. Bragg's company skeered the Yan kees, they ran rite peerst my house--rite peerst--when up comes Capt. Forrest with bis crittur company (cavalry) and makes a line of fight rite through my yard, and OYersets my ash-hopper, and treads-- Gen. Bragg (sitting near)--Col.
