BOOH] Along the Skirmish Lime There were about a quarter of a mil­ lion soldiers from the South in the armies of the Union. During the laat week in October, Corps No. 31, W. R. C.' Leominster, Mass., held a fair, also a baby show, in which forty- two little onee, nineteen of them toss than one year old, participated. E. V. Sumner Post, No. 19, Fitchburg, Mass., is making arrangements to build a memorial hall. A movement has been inaugurated to erect on Court Hill, Boston, Mass., monument to the memory ot the late Comrade Charles P Devins, at one dtne Commander-in-chief of the Q. A. R. Pana, Illinois Post, has been mustered in. There are in all 21 new Q. A. R. posts being organ1 zed in Illinois, including two colored posts, one at Murphysboro, the home of Gen. John A. Logan, aad one at Shawneetown. The annual report of the soldiers, and sailors' home at Bath, New York, shows at the close of the year 1,276 members the average attendance during the year 1,044. Amount expended, $149,880.92, one half of which is repaid to the State by the General Government. The cost of rations was 13K oents a day, and clothing |18.33K per year for eaoh > member. Capt. Kron, of Lexington, Mass., a Union veteran, survived twenty battles of the civil war, including Cold Harbor- where he lost an arm--to die at the age of sixty-four through having his foot trodden on in a street car. The pressure on a bunion caused inflammation, gan­ grene set in «id he died after A Week's illness. The next annual Grand Army encamp­ ment will be held in Washington during the week of September 20. So decided the council of administration after con­ ference with the local committee recently This is a compromise date, for the mem­ bers from the extreme Northwest wanted it held earlier, and those from the ex­ treme East desired it somewhat later. However, everybody concurred in the compromise, and after an exceedingly pleasant conference and a short executive session, in which the council was perfectly unanimous, the action indicated was token. The order of Confederate soldiers known as the United Confederate Veterans, Gen­ eral John B. Gordon commanding, with headquarters at New Orleans, is to ex­ tend its organization into the North. One division is to be formed east and one west of the Alleghanies, each to be officered by a major general, and divided into camps. The buried dead in North­ ern Confederate cemeteries are to be looked after, and needy survivors to be provided for, as the Grand Army cares lor its own people. A complete roster of the Confederate dead in the north is also to be compiled. Work of tbe Pension Offles During the week 7,603 claims were re­ ceived, of which 154 were original invalid; 351 widows; 6 bounty land; 0 navy; 29 old war; 0 on account of Mexican service, 165 accrued pension and 8,327 applications for increase.

The distribution of large amounts of money to those who have been granted a pension under uct of June 27, 1890, to­ gether with the regular quarterly pay­ ments due pensioners under the old law, has of late given much relief to nearly all parts of our country, and especially to the East and West. The distress felt by some families is gradually giving away to comfort, and at the same time the merchant, artisan, doctor, lawyer, and in fact, every one who is dependent on the labor of hand or brain is benefited by the money which is being paid by the gov­ ernment to pensioners. In no other way could the country have been aided so greatly and safely as by the distribution of money to the veterans of the late war. With few exceptions they are poor and use their pension money toward paying for the necessaries of life, debts, and for any and every class of living expenses. This money goes into the hands of those, legally, who do not hoard it or put it out at usury, but to tbe very onee who need it most and are at the extremes from the money centers of the country. Thus we think there is no better way to regulate the finances of the nation than by our system of paying pensions to men who went forth to battle for and preserve their country and the honor of "Old Glory"--the Stars and Stripes. What is better, not one penny of this money to pay these pensioners is a bur­ den or a tax upon any nut able to bear such, notwithstanding the charges of the copper-head press, pension shriekers and soldier haters to the contrary. There is not one in a thousand of this class of grumblers and "stay at home and fire in the rear" cowards, who know from whence the money to pay pensions is de­ rived, or what articles are taxed to pay them, and many times those indirectly benefited on account of pensions, are the loudest in their condemnations of them. These ignoramuses and-falsifiers are in every community, and we have a goodly number of them right here in Woodstock. They are generally to be pitied for their ignorance, but detested for their con­ temptible meanness, and dialoyal spirit and utterance. They sewn, however, to always know enough to do their ahrieV ing and lying to those not UiuiMiiglilv informed tin to pmialnii laws or ImginUt tlon.

The men is still a cillanem in the woods." "Ninerclock" is understood easily, but an educated man might have some difficulty in translating "cillanem into "killing thtm;" but that is what the mysterious word means. Less famous than General Forest though quite as sen­ tentious, was General Patrick Connor, who commanded in Utah during the war In February, 1863, his force encamped near Salt Lake City after a long and hard campaign against the Indians. Brigham Yonng, then governor of Utah as well as president of the Mormon church, promptly sent a bishop to him to say that the government had exempted a township (thirty-six square miles) from occupancy by any Federal troops, that his presence was not desired by the governor, and that he must retire at once. General Connor heard the bishop to the end and then made this answer, his native brogue coming to the front as he became excited. He began very gently: "Bishop, will ye tell Mr. Young that we've marched many a long mile and that we're tired. We find good campin' grounds here--well dhrained and wathered, an' we're comfortable where we are, an' we don't want to retire onless we have to. An' teU Mr. Young thet if we do retire, 'twill be to the front--down into Salt Lake City, wid our guns in the main sthreets an' my headquarters in the president's house. That's all, Bish­ op." And Fort Douglass still stands where General Connor placed it. large amount of property. Shall they ha taxed to support in luxury the widow of their arch-enemy? Then, hundreds off millions of Northern capital have gone into the South to develop its mines* fan* tones and farms, to build its railroad^ establish towns, etc. Shal all tbfa burdened with the charge of the reiiet of a great public enemy ? The Dispatch can do no greater injury to its section than by the advocacy of this wicked proposition. The name of Davis is justly abhorred in the country outside of Dixie. He is rightly regarded as the embodiment of all that was wicked and wrong in the rebellion. Every dem­ onstration in honor of his memory by * the late rebels is taken by the people else* where as an evidence of the attachment of the people to what everybody regards as odious in the extreme. The more such stuff as this is printed by the Dkb. patch, the more reluctant progress!vv enterprising men will be to either g£» South themselves or allow their money to be invested there. Jeff Davis is ail offensive memory. The best possible thing for the South is to recall it ai ly as possible.--National Tribune. &FWhat a tender-hearted i lealiiiia Almy, the murderer of Christie Warden, in New York, is. When the prosecutor opened his argument, and related in ft" thrilling manner the incidents of the murder, tears rolled down Almy's face. And when the mother of the murdered girl told of the home life on the farm of the murderer and his victim, Almyt weeping piteously, leaned forward and cried out in a broken voice. "Oh, Mra. Warden, please tell it all." And tide f» the coward that pulled the girl from the side of her mother and sister, as she wan returning from church, and dragged her into the thicket and shot her. Now his. own life is in danger he feds real bad about it. It seems a useless expense to make a very long trial of that easty while the murderer appeals to publis sympathy with his tears. He ought to be relieved of his suspense by bang su#» pended, as a warning to other tended hearted brutes who kill girls they love them. 1 .; -K.-13 \ ... > L&L Pension fsr Mrs Jeff Davis. Tbe Richmond Dispatch says in a lead­ ing editorial: The Southern States onght to vote a a pension to Mrs. Jefferson Davis, and Virginia should lead the movement. It is nothing but fair and proper that we should put her upon the same footing that th« United States government places the widows of its Presidents. The duty devolves upon the States that composed the Confederacy. As the Con­ federacy is a thing of tbe past, it cannot be a very costly precedent for us, inas­ much as there never will be another Con­ federacy, therefore never another widow of a Confederate president. Aside from the bad sentiment of this astonishing proposition, what about its juBtice? There are over 6,000,000 ne­ groes in the South, most of whom own more or less property. What sort of justice would there be in taxing them to pay a pension to tbe widow of the wan who was the chief spirit in the great war to keep them in perpetual bondage?
