In conclusion, allow ine to n(Id that
(the entire world has been aroused upon
tin- question of caring for the obi and
infirm, nnrt that without regard to.the
? usual sacrifices of a soldier's life. The
.old axe pension roll of Australia alone
was, under its first appropriation, $0.
j fiOO.OOO. The beneficiaries arc all men
'sixty-five years old. all women sixty
years old. The mother country, Kng
' land, appropriated more than double
tilts sum Ireland, Scotland and Wales
are amply provided for. lii-rinany,
j France and Italy are all moving in the
same direction. To my mind, there is
a most significant meaning tn this mar
jvelous demonstration of "'man's liu
jmanity to man." It in: y be because of
a higher order of e?'i tir>n and < ? ? n

j The day, July fi, end of that stupen
dous reunion at Gettysburg, two bills
j were introduced In Congress, providing
: pensions by the Federal government
'for Confederate veterans and their
j widows. The movers of these hills
: wero Mr. Edwards, of Georgia, and Mr.
. Hobson, of Alabama The Edwards
! bill calls for precisely the same pen
sion as the Sliei wood bill in behalf of
11ho Grand Army, and is much more
j popular with tho different Congress
men than Mr Hobson's bill, upon tho
convening of 111?* next regular session
of Congross we shall hear from these
id!Is, favorably 1 1>. !;i'\ i?, but we must

To even give the shortest intelligent
synopsis of the salient events of
eventful July would tax your kindly
columns and the* patience of Its read
ers, so very brielly: The first ??<?:*. 1
great battle of the War of 1S60-G5 was
fought at Manassas on July 21 (bqttle
of Dcthel of' smaller import, hut of
prior date.) Then, coincident with July's
martial glories, "The Seven Pays' Hat
ties,'' held around Richmond, where
fought in July. And lastly in these
short references to events of "such
mighty moment," our Waterloo was
experienced at Missionary Ridge, at
< Jet t.v shui'g. in July, which was the
Moody beginning of the "Moody Angle"
and the end at Appomattox, whero
"the warrlcr's soul with the warrior's
banner took its Might!"
So July still keeps up that hard
fo^ight -fame :?t this present time in
chronicling almost dally, and so un
remi 11 ingl.v, the bloodiest ami fiercest
fighting on Europe's war-scarred
shield, even overtovverinn that of the
tii.st N'apoleon at Waterloo and Louis
N'apoleon at Sedan, with such san
guinary and deadly results in "the sky
above." "the earth beneath" and "the
waters under the earth," now under
the wild demands of "Moloch" for
new - made "holocaust" and "hecatombs''
t<< glut his greedy maw.
So it is also a fact that January was
aptly named after Janus, "the Temple
ol Peace," surely, as far as a name
noes, a fair beginning tn the nomen
clature of the year's calendar, yet the
ld?-a of the peace of "Janus" is de
fiantly hurled down by the wild blasts
of windy, stormy-browed March, so
named after the war god, old Mars,
with the storm king, old L'.orens, as
his main ally. "I wo! it not" but what
"de Kaiser" might also acclaim them
as his alllos with "me und C.ott," once
again proving "there is nothing in a
name." (Yet largely there Is to the
contrary, notwithstanding.>
So atfer Mars and Boreas have
fought and howled themselves to rest,
after the Interval of April with her
tears so profusely shed over these two
old noisy debauchers. Mars and Boreas,
j "Father Time" heralds in the month of
I all months, lovely faced May, aptly
; named nfter "the Queen of Heaven."
I lie Mother of the Savior of the world.
I So, after "the month of May" we are
greeted by rose-crowned June, named
: in honor of Junius Brutus.
So we again arrive at July "our
topic," and, relatively, the remaining
months, September, October, November
and December, attain their connonn ns
from the Latin numerals, septum, octo,
novefh, decern?seven, eiuht, nine,
ten. So it is that th>? months are full
i of meaning tn their Inception, and
'some romance mingled therewith, not
1 the least of which Ik "leap year," when
every fourth year February borrows a
day, and thus boasts of twenty-nine,
which entitles "the maiden .ill forlorn"
to send her valentine, nay. she may
even seek "some love-si ? k swain" to
Join hands with her in the exhibit of
"Two souls with but a single thought,
Two hearts that beat as one."
So even in the "calends of time" wo
find the doctrine of "mutatis mutandis."
Our own Oeorgc Washington, under the
old calends, was born February 11.
lT.'tJ. which by char.L-es In time's reck
I onltius, is now February the 2-d, as
i no schoolboy will "dare notn to dis
pute. And lastly, be It. said truly, that
{even Christmas Day. "the cream of
'days," unless Raster Day be its ri\al,
; there vet remains a body of Christians

; they call "Old Christmas Day." which
i they reoognl/.e on the 5th of January,
