Ohio clidms 2,114 mote Grand Army men than any other department in the union. On the 14th of February, 1893, there were 5,459 inmates in the Dayton, Ohio, National Home for disabled soldiers'. The Twenty seventh annual encamp­ ment, of the Illinois Department of the G. A. R., id now in jp«^|niis at Spring­ field, Illinois. There have been sixteen commander-in chiefs, of the United Stated army and but f <ur generals, viz: Washington, Grant, Sherman and Sheridan. Of the 5.459 inmates of the Soldiers' Bome at Dayton, Ohio, there are 1,481 over seventy years of »ge, legless, 118; armless, 92; blind, 160; totally deaf, 75; epileptics, 75. The G. A. R. Post. &t Nuuuo, Tl*.. was organized April 21st, 1883, They ex­ pect to hold an anniversary April 21, 1893, ten years after. A large crowd and a big time is expected. Secretary of State Gresham, entered the Union Army as a private and was elect­ ed captain of the Spencer Rifle's. lie come home as a Major-General, Mid won his spurs for patriotic service. Mrs. Gen. Grant is in California visit­ ing her son, but she spent the greater part of the winter at the New York resi­ dence on East Sixty-sixth street, which was presented to her husband. They are actually talking in Washing­ ton of pensioning Jefferson Davis's widow; not, however* for his services to the Confederacy, but on account of hie services in the Mexican war. A veteran of the late war, who resides «t River Point, R. I., and who is the poswsHor of an old rebel musket, recently thought he would load the shooter and try It. It is said be rammed a pound of pow der, more or less, into the barrel, and steadied himnelf against the northeast corner of the houee as he pulled the trig­ ger and awaited developments. Bang! went the gun and away went the veteran to the southeast corner of his domicile, lie picked himself up, not much the worse for wear, and declares be is ready to sell the spiteful old relic to the first applicant. The order of Confederate soldiers known as the United Confederate Veterann Gen. John B. Gordon, comma* ding, with headquarters at New Orleans, is to ex- tehd its organisation into the North. Oue diviniou is to be formed east and west of the Alleghanies, each tobeofHcer- ed bs a major general and divided into camps. The buried died in northern Confederate cemeteries are to be looked after, and needy survivors to be provid­ ed for, as the Grand Aamy cares for its own people. A complete roaster of the Confederate dead in the North is also to be compiled. Work of the Fanaion Ofltes During the week 2,455 claims were re­ ceived, of which 173 were original invalid; 237 widows; 3 bounty land; 68 navy; 0 old war; 0 on account of Mexican service, 241 accrued pension and 193 applications for increase. Number of re­ jected claims reopened 396; act of June 27, 1890, 549 original invalid, 367 widows, and none who had filed applications under former acts. Number of claims received to date un­ der act of June 27, 1890, 847,728. Claims disposed of to date under said act, 572,942. The names and postoffice addresses of 5,366 officers and comrades were furnished for the use of claimants. There were 80,649 pieces of mail mat­ ter received; 48,842 letters and blanks sent out. . The number of cases derailed to special examiners were 177; 353 reports and cases from special examiners; cases on hand for special examination, 8,731.

In the newly published work on gun­ shot wounds, Dr. Ludwig Brandt gives some interesting statistics about the French-Prussian war in 1870-'71. The officers and men of all ranks] belong­ ing to the German armies who were wounded during the war amounted to the iiumese total of 116,821, Of these, 99,566 survived; 11,041 died in hospital, and 5,223 died on the field of battle. The wounds of those who were under hospital treatment, iucludingthe wounds of those who died in hospital, were thus distributed: Wounds of the head, 11,- 041; of the neck, 1,022; of the chest and back, 11,495; abdomen, 4,553; upper extremities, 33,914; and of the lower ex­ tremities, 43,952; while in 3,721 in­ stances the situations of the wounds have not been recorded. A noticeable fact Is the unusually large proportion of wounds of the head, which nearly equal those of the chest and back together, and approach three times the nnmber of those of the abdo- tfien. The number given (11,041), how­ ever, includes 2,130 injuries to the face. The wounds by rifle bullets more than, double the number of those caused by artillery projection; but the information in thin respect is not of much value, as out of 2,020 gunshot wounds of theface, in no fewer than 1,398 instances the par­ ticular projectiles by which the wounds were caused have not been recorded. Only 15 out of the 2,120 injuries of the face we e saber wounds, and no bayonet wounds appear among the number. The authorcalls attention to the fact that iu war injuries of the jawbones occur more frequently than injuries of other bones this region; and that many of them are of a very grave character, as, out of the 8,154, cases treated in the hos­ pitals, 101 provided fatal, while in many of the recoveries difficulties of mastica­ tion and even of feeding, with loss of power of speech, have resulted. Commander-la Chief Wssatrt- Commander-in-Chief Wessert should rsoeive the congratulations of the en­ tire Grand Army of the Republic for the manner in which he recently replied to Congressman O'Neil, of Massachusetts, regarding the proposed new legislation is the miiiiiiir of psuNC'sis. The National Tiibuue has the following in reference to Commander-in-Chief Weissert's letter to Mr. O'Neil, also copy of his letter to that gentleman: He has said at the right time just what he should say--just what a commander- in-chief of the Uraud Army of the Repub- ic would be expected to say upon a ques­ tion of such momentous interests to his comrades. It is amazing that the soldier-haters should have had the impu­ dence to represent the comnmnder-in- fhiei' as in any manner frienaiy to a measure of such harmt'ulness to the vet­ erans aud their dependent ones. Com­ rade Weissert deserve* the thanks of the comrades not only for tne emphatic way iu which he has expressed the views of ail fruecomraden, but for the promptness with which he was met the issue. His ttCtiou shows that the national encamp­ ment chose well in selecting him for the highest place iu the order. • Provideuce, R. I, Feb. 11,1893, Hon. Joseph H. O'Neil, House ot Rep­ resentatives, Washington: 1 notice in the morning papers you quote we in approval of your proposed amend­ ments to existing pension legislation affecting pensions ot iumates of Soldiers' Homes, Later 1 received your letter of the 4th iustaut, asking indorsement of some interview said to have been held kvithmeon that specific point. Uncer­ tain whether represented or misrepresent­ ed in that interview, 1 say to you that *hile I am in favor of legislation giving the major portion of the pension of an inmate of a home to his family, yet if he lias uo family, I say let him have it all, even if it amounts to 50 cents per day. For your purposed amendments gener­ ally as published, I have no lavor. They are all calculated to restrict benefits heretofore accorded surviving veterans or their widows. Your restriction to less than $(>00 income per year is particular­ ly obnoxious, because it requires public acknowledgment of poverty. Health aud loyalty were ell that Lincoln asked of us when you were a babe aud we were battliug to preserve a Congress for you to sit in. I commend for your consideration the words of another son of Massachusetts. as he voiced the country's estimate of the services of the founders of the repub­ lic, who were survivors in his time. 1 refer to Webester. Your warfare in ad­ vance on those who in the providence of God may become soldiers' widows, is utterly repugnant to even average man­ hood. In the body of which you are a mem­ ber sits many a man who fought us man fashion, open and above board, front face--Gordon, his face seamed with the track of Uuiou lead; Butler, short one leg; W heeler, the wild rider, who gave us so little rest, and that sturdy fighter, Moore, of Texas. They were line-of- battle soldiers iu time of war, but I haz­ ard the prediction none of them could be induced to lead in such a fight as yon are making. You cry out against the sum total of the annual appropriations for pensions, and capitalists and cowards comprise the majority of those who applaud. Figure the total on a l pensions from 1865 to 1893, and it is a lit tie more than half the amouut paid in the same time for interests alone to the bondholder. He bought his bondB always belon par, at times as low as 38. The men I now have the honor to command, and their deceased comrades, indorsed thosebonds with their heart's blood, and by their valor put them on the road to par and at a premium in the financial market* of the world. With tremendous unani­ mity they stood for honest money in peace, insisting that UncleSam's promise to the bondholders should be redeemed at 100 cents on the dollar, with all inter­ ests and principal payable in gold. The next president of the United States goes into offlce having been voted for by hundred of th"usandsof veterans I have no criticism for their course. The sol­ dier earned the right to vote as he pleas­ es--be he Democratic, Republican, or Populist. If some of them, advanced in years enfeebled by disease, see fit to tot­ ter to the polls and vote the Mugwump • ticket, that is their right. But I beg you" to stop this warfare which will drive them to lay aside consideration of other mat­ ters germane to our sytem of government,! and tend to weld them into a nearly solid political mass. Your present course, persist d in, renders that nearly invitable, in my opinion. A. G Weibsart, Commander-in-Chief, G. A. R.

The Incubation of Crinolines. If there \s one human being that I dffe spise more rhan another, it is a man mm" liner. Lakes' dress is a mystery to m%' and my id*-as in regard to it are some­ what vagne. But as newspat>ers aWr;' raising an outcry against crinolines J will venture to explain their incubatioa. They were dtie to the desire in an afe* normal fit of common sense of woman to have a retional costume. Either the queen or one of the princesses wore, or was said to wear, at Balmoral thick boots coining high up the leg. All loyal women insisted upon following this example and wearing "BalmorSl boots." The ladies had no objection to show these boots, and, still being under the influence of common sense, objected to their dresses trailing on the ground when they were out walking. The next step was to have a scarlet petticoat over the flannel and other underclothes. This scarlet petticoat came about way down the calf, and over it was wof|k a skirt vhich fell to the feet when in­ doors, but which when ont walking was drawn up by a cord in festoons, coming a little above the scarlet petticoat. To this costume were added stockings of some bright color and a blouse with wide sleeves and a waistband, with over it a zouave sort of jacket. What I con­ tend is that the crinoline was not, until ^exaggeration set in, a cage, but merely one detail in a pretty and practical cos­ tume.--London Truth.

The culpability of the modern father in allowing his daughters to marry witib* out any investigation as to the standing or character of the young man in the case received a striking illustration last week. Miss Florence Cashing was a pretty young lady, who graduated from the Rockland high school and afterward had an office in this city, where she did typewriting and copying. On Nov. 15 she was married at the residence of her father, Brainard Cushing, to one F. W. William^ who represented that he was an agent of the Thompson-Houston Elec­ tric company. He took Lis bride to CM cago, where, after running a bill of $500 at tae Richelicu and selling his wife's ' jewels, he calmly deserted her, even car­ rying off her silver purse of change. Sir. Cushing has taken the heartbroken girl home, and an investigation--all too la$S --has disclosed the fact that Williams* 1 statements as to his business and aland- ing were false.--Boston Courier. ,•»• ; yW Trying to Cle»r Up » War!

Colonel Hamlin is earnestly laboring to secure justice to the Eleventh corps at Chancellorsville, and to protest against the treatment of the German soldiers by the war department and congress and some officers of the Army of the Poto­ mac.
