Mexican Veteran Pension.
As the bill before Congress for pen
sioning the veterans of the Mexican
war has been reported upon favorably,
we will present a portion of the report
made by the President, Col. David S.
Johnston, at the last annual meeting,
in Atlanta, of the Georgia Associated
Veterans of the Mexican War, 1846-
7-8:
Comrades : At our organization in
Macon, on the 30th of October, 1873,
we had ninety-seven names on our roll,
and to-day our number is two hundred
and three. We have learned through
the public press that three of those
have died since our last meeting, Com
rades Gustavus A. Parker and Daniel
Kirkpatrick, of Augusta, and Wesley
C. Hodges, of Columbus. If any other
deaths are reported, they will be added
to this report. The members reside in
sixty-one counties, and their names
have been obtained through circulars
addressed to the veterans, as well as
the courtesy of the press of the State
in calling the attention of the survivors
of the Mexican war residing in Georgia
to the importance of reporting their
names to the headquarters of the
“ Georgia Association of Veterans
Mexican War, 1846-7-8,” as well as re
questing all their comrades to do like
wise.
In obedience to a resolution adopted
at your last meeting, your Secretary
corresponded with the Railroad Presi
dent for some accommodations for our
delegates to the National Convention
of the veterans in Washington City, on
the 15th of last January, all extend
ed the half rate privilege. Your Pres
ident succeeded in obtaining free passes
for the delegates over the Air Line
from Atlanta to Richmond, Va., and
our thanks are due Col. A. S. Buford,
the President, and his company for
the splendid accommodations and free
rides both going and returning from
Atlanta to Richmond, Va. The Presi
dent, ex-uffieio, a delegate, and Gen. E.
L. Thomas, appointed delegate, at
tended. As the other delegate could
not attend, your President appointed
Col. H. J. Sargent, who promptly at
tended. At Washington City we were
joined by Col. George S. Fisher, of Au
gusta, who also co-operated with the
delegation.
In the National Convention there
were delegates from thirty States, two
Territories, District of Columbia, and
army and navy ; making in all over
five hundred present.
The meeting was a cordial reunion of
old friends and comrades, who so re
cently were in battle array against each
other, joined hands across the bloody
chasm, and pledged the warm friend
ship that existed when they stood side
by side in their country’s defense. All
agreed that soldiers “harbor no ill
will,” and had the adjustment of our
recent troubles been submitted to the
soldiers, long since the politicians
would have come to grief, and all dif
ferences forgotten.
The convention memorialized Con
gress, and urged the duty of appropri
ate legislation in behalf of those who
conferred such marvelous benefits upon
our country. A bill was also drawn
and presented to Congress, through
our comrades, Gen. Logan in the Sen
ate, and Gen. Neagly in the House,
asking a pension of eight dollars per
month for all who served sixty days ;
also for their widows, where they have
not remarried.
The Hon. J. H. Baker, Commissioner
of Pensions, in response to an inquiry
by the Committee on Pensions of the
House of Representatives, is reported
to have submitted an estimate of the
probable number of survivors who
would be entitled to receive pensions
under the bill now before Congress, at
39,000, when the total estimates from
the beginning to the close of the war,
were only 73,260. The honor
able Commissioner arrived at this esti
mate by reference to the mortality
tables issued by Life Insurance Com
panies in calculating the “expectation
of life,” and other processes used in the
Census Bureau, applicable to the popu
lation of a vast country in judgiug of
its decrease by natural mortality. He
did not consider the casualties of that
war which materially diminished the
forces, as well as the number who con
tracted disease in that unhealthy cli
mate. And then a large number of
the survivors were carried into the
late civil war, where many more were
hurried to untimely graves. But lew
of us can count among the living a
score of our company and many not a
dozen.
The State of Georgia furnished one
regiment and twelve companies, in all
1,897 men, and we have only found re
siding in Georgia at this time 200 who
served in Mexico. Therefore it be
comes the duty of the survivor to en
roll his name, rank, company, battal
ion, regiment or vessel in which he
served in Mexico; also his age now,
occupation and post office adderss, and
by this means a correct report of the
number of the survivors can be made
to the National Association of the Vet
erans of the Mexican War.
i lie annual meeting of the National
Association of the Veterans of the
Mexican war will be held in Washing
ton City on the 22d of February.
Col. David S. Johnston, of Madison
is one of the'committee appointed by
the National Association to memorialize
Congress; and he, with Gen. W. S
Walker, of Atlanta, the President, and
Dr. S. P. Hunt, of Augusta, are the de
legates appointed to represent the
Georgia Associated Mexican Veterans
in the National Association.

THE FASHIONABLE LENT.
How Fickle Fashion Finds Her Way
into the Season of Sackcloth and
Ashes.
To the devoted dames and damsels
who have labored faithfully in the
vineyard hung with choicest—hot
house—grapes, Lent comes as a beni
son on their toils. It gives them a
chance to rest, reflect and devise their
Spring wardrobes, and for no reason is
it better appreciated than for the last.
Indeed, the outsider, judging from
what he sees and hears, might readily
believe this to be the sole object of
Lent. And really, when you think of
it, forty days, exclusive of Sundays
and feast days, is not too long a period
to plan flve or six months’ apparel in
that is, if you have much of it. I know
people that wouldn’t need forty days.
One of the chief points of considera
tion during Lent, and frequently be
fore, is
CONFIRMATION DRESSES.
It is usual here, on Easter Sunday, for
many maidens to be taken into the
bosom of the church. For this solemn
event it is necessary, of course, that
they should be suitably arrayed ; and
much thought is given to the serious
subject. Already several gowns of this
character have been composed, and
these will serve as a model for others.
For instance:
ONE OF WHITE SILK
is as rich as any likely to be made—
being of a dead gros-grain. (I notice
that all confirmation dresses are of ma
terials with little or no luster.) It is a
deml-train, the front and sides being
drawn as tightly back as they can con
veniently be. The train is surrounded
by one deep, box-plaited flounce, which
ends either side of the front breadth.
At the top of the flounce are three
standing, finger-wide ruffles—the upper
and lower being of white lisse and thb
middle one of silk. These form a head
ing to the flounce, though between
them, and it is a full double ruching of
lisse and silk. The front breadth of
the skirt is platted from tip to toe. In
the middle is one very broad orb-plait,
and, turning each way toward the
seam, are alternate plait3 of silk and
lisse. The narrow ruffles and ruche
that head the flounce turn at the seam
and follow it to the waist, thus outlin
ing the tablier. The waist is a plait
ed, round basque, the plaits really
being alternate folds of lisse and silk.
Sleeves are coat-shaped, trimmed with
alternate folds of lisse and silk. The
short veil worn on the back of the head
is of lisse (and, between ourselves, it is
very becoming), the edge of which is
left without hemming. No jewels are
worn, of course ; jewels are of the earth
earthy, but a white rosebud and a bit
of green are fastened at the throat.
If it were not for the name of the
thing, this dress would serve as well
for a wedding as any other occasion.
Indeed, a confirmation always does
seem a good deal iike a masquerade
in bridal raiment.
ANOTHER EASTER-ROBE
is of white cashmere. The skirt of
this scarcely trails. Its wearer has
hardly attained the trailing age. This
is trimmed with narrow-plaited ruf
fles, alternately of cashmere and fou
lard. There are six of these, and they
continue round the skirt, reaching to
the knee. A single garment completes
this costubae; but strictly it is neither
polonaise nor basque. It has a semi
polonaise front, basque back, sashes
of cashmere lined with foulard, and
sleeves of foulard trimmed with cash
mere. The bottom of the garment is
simply hemmed, and there is no garni
ture at all on the upper dress, except
facings of foulard, which show here
and there. -
Confirmations and confiination gowns
do not always conduce to peace of
mind. Witness the following veritable
but
SAD STORY.
It happened last year. A maiden,
who had never worn long dresses, was
to have been confirmed last Easter.
She was to be rarely attired ; her robe
was to be made with a train—her first.
This, of course, added to the import
ance of the occasion; and, at odd times
all through Lent, she practiced, in her
elder sister’s dresses, on the graceful
management of the train. The Satur
day before Easter arrived at last, and
with it her robe. It was of the finest
quality of India muslin. It was trim
med with many narrow ruffles, beauti
fully embroidered on the edge. An
old-fashioned mantle of embroidered
muslin was gracefully looped on the
skirt, in lieu of an overskirt. The
waist was fan-shaped, with breteiies
formed of narrow insertion, with
wrought ruffles on each edge. The
plastron in front matched the breteiies.
The sleeves were fluffed lengthwise,
with narrow insertion between the
puffs, and wrought frills about the
hands. A heirloom in the shape of
an embroidered muslin veil was added.
Nothing could have been more girlish,
more perfeet, than this whole suit.
Alas! there was one defect—an in
surmountable one in the eyes of its
owner. Through mistake or misunder
standing, the modiste had cut the skirt
the usual misses’ length, as she had
been in the habit of doing before.
The unregenerate might suppose it
still possible to be confirmed in the
dress, though it was short. No so.
The damsel had decided to be con
firmed in a trained gown on Easter
Sunday, and no consideration could
change her purposes. It was neces
sarily too late to have another gown
made; so she refused to attend the
ceremonial, and has been left, to the
infinite peril of her soul, in a state of
outer darkness this whole year through.
It is her intention, however, to ally her
self to the church on the 28th of March
in a trained gown about which there
shall be no mistake.
Hawley.— Mrs. Joseph R. Hawley
writes to the Hartford Times, correct
ing a statement of a correspondent of
that journal concerning the wife of
President Grant. The correspondent
charged that Mrs. Grant had “cold
manners.” and had her friendly notes
answered by a secretary. Mrs. Hawley
writes that “Mrs. Grant has suffered
for years from a.severe inflammation of
the eyes, which affects her sight so
much that she can not recognize faces
unless very near indeed to the person,
and this necessarily affects her manner
in public, as she often cannot tell to
whom she is speaking. Of course, her
‘notes of friendship’ must be ‘answered
by a secretary,’ for she cannot see to
write even to her own children, when
they are separated from her. Is it not
a pity to give so wrong an impression
of a kind and true-hearted woman, suf
fering under so great an affliction ? Are
there many of us who, under such cir
cumstances, would deserve the praise
which all unite in giving her, as a good
housekeeper, a good wife and mother.”
