A R McHenry Post No. 64S holds regular Meet, logs the first and third Thursdays of eaoh month at the City Hall. O H. O. MKAD, Oommander, ALBBRT SHOW, Adjutant. About thirty headstones have been forwarded from Lee, Mass., by the gov­ ernment to mark the graves of sol­ diers in the Elgin cemetery. The adjutant general of iblto wprepar- ina: a register of all living ex-soldiers of that state, which will be of great impor­ tance to all ex-eoldiers, their widows and orphans. Considered with reference to tbe ruling wages of the day, $8 a month was a big­ ger pension to the survivors of the revo­ lution and the war of 1812 than $20 a month would be to those of the wwr of the rebellion. The widow of Gen. Corse, the hero of Allatoona, will probably yet receive her pension. A unanimous vote of the Sen­ ate passed the bill last week, and Repre­ sentative McEltrick, who has tbe bill in charge in the House, is confident ctf its passage. Indiana furnished a great many tall men for the army. Out of 118,254 men whose descriptions were taken at the time of enlisting, 11,362 were 6 feet in height or more. There were 2,614 six feet one inch, 1,357 six feet two inches, 406 six feet three inches. The state also furnished a great many brainy men. Tbe pension haters may find some con­ solation by taking a visit to the nearest cemetery. They will usually find there the new-made grave of some man who Served his country bravely and well, whom the sexton has placed out of reach of the pension bureau's meager benefac­ tion and tbe pension haters' contumely. There are about 3,000 ot these graves dug evety month. Plundering old soldiers nniei^|liat)f "national economy" may be very plausi­ ble and touching to a multitude of pock­ ets, but it is all the same mean and con­ temptible. The very men now in power and with well-lined pockets would have been outcasts without any United States to rule over and no United States Con­ gress to serve in had it not been for the very men they now deride and defraud of the pittance granted them by a loyal people. It needs no arguments to prove that the Hoke Smiths have no sympathy or love for the old veterans of the Union army. Recently the' Milwaukee Journal has attempted to defend Capt. Wirt, com­ mander of Andersonville prison pen, and hold him op as a humane man. Dr. W. H. Chilson, of Appleton, Wis., indig­ nantly says it makes his blood boil to see efforts made to whitewash the de­ moniac cruelty and inhumanity which was there practiced under direct orders from head quarters. It would seem that enough instances of snch cruelty had al­ ready been published to refute any such argument as the Milwaukee Journal has nought to make. Dr. Chilson, however, related several things that he personally witnessed which have never to his knowl­ edge appeared in print, fully bearing out the popular conception of what Ander­ sonville really was and the merciless character of Capt. Wire, its commander. "During the last four or five months of my confinement in Andersonville," said Dr. Chilson, "I was advanced by my comrades to the office of division com­ mander, a division when full consisting of five hundred prisoners, and one of my duties was to read every morning to my division the orders for the guidance of prisoners, sent in from Captain Wire's headquarters. "One day in December, 1864, alter the fall of Atlanta, several hundted prisoners were marched in through the south gate. Now the dead line was a purely imagi­ nary line, which new men who had not been in the camp would have no means of distinguishing. Through the midst of the camp ran the famous little creek that everyone has heard of. Logs were occasionally thrown across it to serve as bridges, but it was only a few inches deep so that the men frequently waded across. The result was that the water became very roily and dirty as it flowed through .the camp, while just above, over the dead line, it was clear and pure. As the new prisoners came in that day, one gallant looking man came along to tbe stream with a cap in his hand and not knowing about the dead line simply reached his arm over to get a enp of clear water. He was instantly shot down and tbe guard who shot him was forthwith, according to Capt. Wirz's custom, given a furlough as a reward for the deed. The authority back of that act was scarcely humane. • FRESH. - ^f^CXX Butter Cracker* W for $1.00. Best XXX Soda Crackers 20 pounds for 11.00. 4 Beet XXX Ginger Snaps 8c per pound.

Surely WashingttMB - -I * deserves sympathy. . ^ If the members of the various "indue- trial armies" now on their way to Wash- . . * ::F ington had any confidence in Governor ^ Tillman's statement, that whiskey is . :- free in South Carolina, they would at • ^ once change their route. ^ The sugar of the monster sugar tnwt ^ has never been excelled as a persuader of TI Democratic Senators. R'T Congressman Sibley, a Democrat wHIi Populistic tendencies and an unlimited bank account, which he is willing to ' - .-j draw against for political honors, MAY be the Democratic candidate for Gover­ nor of Pennsylvania. Secretary Carlisle intimates that ill wasn't much of a surrender after all, that the free trade Senators made to the "conservatives," which recalls the story of Noah and the man who didn't want to get into the ark because he thought it wasn't much of a shower. The Washington preacher who deliver­ ed A lecture in favor of Coxey'S move­ ment under the suggestive title "Dam Fools," was doubtless fully qualified to speak authoritively, from personal ex­ perience, on the subject. The Democrats in Congress might have saved time and worry by getting the trusts lobby to make their tariff bill'in the first place, as they are now doing. Senator McPhereon, of New Jersey, said to have slapped the cheek of SENA­ TOR Hill, of New York, the other day. Bet it hurt the Jersey man the" most. Hill's cheek would almost turn a bullet. Nothing for wage earners, everything for trusts, is the new motto on the Dem­ ocratic flag. The wage-earners will have an inning next November. ' ^ ; Application has been made hy Win. R. • Hearst, publisher of the San FVancteo6': Examiner, to the Washington courts for the appointment of a receiver for the "Press Claims Co.," and the "Examiner ^ Bureau of Clams," of Washington. He charges John Wedderburn, the manager of both, with crookedness and misman­ agement. Hearst is not the only pah* lisher caught by Wedderburn. By turning hie "army" into a side show Coxey scored one on the papers which have so generously him space that other showmen have to pay for. r -, : The administration would like to *eef even somehow and is said to be contem­ plating giving poor little Nicarauga a shaking up. Senator Cullom says there are three generals involved in the democratic tariff programme--"General incapacity in the saddle, general prosperity to be ridden down, and general ruin to tafce the succession." Democratic editors have a hard time trying to keep track of the changes made in the tariff bill. ' There is a wide difference between ti* good citizens of New York, who want to get rid of Tammany, and the Chicago democrats, who have organized an imi­ tation oi Tammany. If Dr. Parkhurst accepts that invitation to visit Chicago he should look after the new Tammasy while there. * Breckinridge's friends may hang Judge Bradley in effigy, they may even re-elect Breckinridge, but they can never make him a fit associate for ladies and gentle- men. The Southern anti-administration Coo* greeemen will have to do lots of cuckoo shooting when they go back home. Senator Hale gave the latest demo* cratic tariff tinkering its proper name when he called it "juggleiy and skutt> duggery." Coxey doubtless thought he had as much right as Cleveland to give the country an "object lesson." Fortunate. ly his power being less than Cleveland's hie "object lesson" was less disastrous. 4 t'-S'?} WM MAY PARTY.

HEIMER, Proprietor, Is IT for the sake of antithesis that TKS Art Amateur gives "Night" (by Reaard) as one of its full-page illustrations in its May issue and "Sunrise" (by Cecil Law- son) as another? If so, the two pages of children (one by Martin De Vos and the other by Hugo Salmson) lorm a very happy medium between the two, and the tiftu full-page of an "Illuminated Cabinet in Gothic Style," a most sale neutral. To bear the children c ompaajr .some "Mischievous Kittens" make oae ot the color studies or pictures, the other being "Boquets of Pansiee," seasonable as The Art Amateur's studies always en. Ia addition to the customary and large supplementary pages of working (for carving, embroidery, drawing, ] ing, etc.), an extra "blue-paper" meat accompanies this number, an ont- line life study. A new feature of the MAGAZINE appears for the first time la "The Illustrator," in which hints to draughtsmen suggested by recent pub­ lications are noted. The capital Olnstra- tions on home decoration and furnishings are continued, the ex-libris department, which during the few months of its ex­ istence has become so popular with its reproductions of book-plates, is fnlly rep- resented, and all of the regular features receive ample attention; among them painting on canvas, china or in wax, IA oil, water-color or pastel, drawing, mod elling in clay, summer sketching, flower designing, etc., etc., covei •ing well-nigh all branches of art. The spicy "Note- Book," to which most people tOT at once on receiving a new AmfiUfar, lacks nothing of its usual crisp brightness in discussing the art-events of THE_month.
