GRAND ARMY DEPARTMENT A Soldier's Wife Talks Ou > h Mortin' at tbo Auburn Reunion. PROPER STYLE OF BLUE AND GRAY llnnryVittnr ( in'n Trllmtn to Lincoln 1'r.inlc p. Illntr 1'iMt iitul the Knciintn- inonl A Noted War Homo Notes unit Incidents. The funniest of the funny incidents which happened at the Auburn , Nob. , reunion , was when Mrs. Wade of Pawnee county declared her political afliiiations. After speaking oavncdtly in behalf of the Woman's Relief corps , and the Grand Army of the Republic cause in general , Mrs. Wade dwelt upon the importance of mothers teaching lessons of patriotism to their children. Then striking a stngo atti tude , she said , "I not only teach patriotism in my family , but and I don't care whether 1 am out of place or not 1 also teach republicanism. " This brought the house down , but the proprietors of the merry-gq-rounds , lemonade stands and loungers' the grounds thought the heavens had fallen when the good lady added , "thoro are oigtit of us in the family including me nnd the old man , and if wo all could vote wo would shove in twfo-thirds of a dozen ballots for Bon Harrison. " Major Church Howe , who was in command , then had a chance to exhibit his powers of repartee and finesse , for ho instantly stopped forward and , with as much com posure as possible under the circum stances , gravely explained that the dis cussion of politics by men was strictly prohibited from the stand , but that the women of this country seem to have a faculty of doing- they ploaso. Said ho : "They began It when wo men were all in the army , and some of them keep It up yet. " Department Commander Dllworth may bo said to have voiced the unani mous sentiment of the Grand Army boys , when , In his address at the Auburn re union , holsaid , "excuse mo from a reunion of the gray nnd blue. The only combi nation bi that kind that should bo toler- nrod is the blue 8uit _ of the union soldier and the gray hairs above it A man who travels in a rebel uniform cannot march in my command. Wo march under no ling except that of the United States. " rion on Lincoln. Editor Wnttorson luw been charged with sensationalism by the Richmond Dispatch because ho said : "Washing ton was the just among men , and Lin coln was the inspired of God. " In an eloquent reply Wattorson con cludes as follows : Born as lowly as the Son of God , in a hovel ; Of what real parentage wo know gleam of light nor fair surroundings ; a young manhood vexed by weird dreams and visions , bordering at times on mad ness ; without a grace , natural or ac quired : singularly awkward , ungainly , oven among the uncouth abouthim ; gro tesque in his aspects and ways it was reserved for this strange being , late in lifo without name or fume , or prepara tion' , to bo snatched from obscurity , raised to supreme command at a supreme moment , and entrusted with the destiny of a nation. The great leaders of his party were made to stand aside ; the most experi enced and accomplished public men of the day , mon liko'Sewnrd and Chn&o and Sumner , statesmen famous and trained , were sent to the roar , while this un known and fustastic liguro was brought by unseen hands to the front and given the reins of power. It is entirely im material whether wo believe invhnt ho said or did , whether wo are for him or against him ; that , during four years , carrying with them such n pressure of responsibility as the world has never witnessed be/ore , ho filled the measure of the vast space allotted him in the actions of mankind and in the eyes of the world , is to say that he was Inspired by God , for nowhere else could ho have acquired the enormous equipmsnt indis pensable to the situation. Whore did Shakespeare get his genius ? Where did Mo/.art got his music ? Whoso hand smote the lyre of ' Iho Scottish plowman and staye'd the lifo of the Gorman priest ? God alone , and as surely as these wore raised up by God , inspired of God , was Abraham Lin coln ; and , 1,000 years hence , no fitory , no tragedy , no epic poem will bo tilled with greater wonder than that which tolls of his life and death. * The Trunk T. lltulr i'ost.

The mare has never been in harness. She occupies a spacious box-stall from which , nftor consuming a pan of milk , mixed with oatmeal and bran , she is lot out every morning. Then aho walks tea a brook which crosses the highway , about a half a mile distant , nnd nftor taking a drink returns to her owner's farm , over which she is allowed to roam , picking out clover patches or nib bling ut the young oats uiul corn , but doing no sorlbm damage. Toward ev ening or when the weather is threaten ing she returns to her box-stall , and at night has another pail of milk for her supper. "Airs.
