Taylor ‘won the flerce fight at Buena Vista, and Bcott moved in triumph from Vera Cruz up the heights of Cerro Gordo, over the Cordilleras and down into ; valley, sweeping away formidable Op position and occupying the capitol Di Mexico; eventuating in the retenion of Texas, the acquisition of CaliOrnia and southern Rocky Mountain erritories ; an empire in extent. . Fifty-one years after the battle four terans of that war marched in the post of honor on Memorial Day in th is city at the head of the Grand Army Division. Perhaps but few among the many thousands who saw then fully Fealized the lapse of years’ since they, their young manhood, won immortal fame by their oft repeated deeds of h eroism on many a field wrested from fs superior numbers.’ While the great battles of the Rebellion and the size of f § contending armies have now, to a certain extent, over-shadowed those in M exico, still no ome should imagine that they were com paratively bloodless or that those campaigns were mere fholidey affairs. At Buena Vista, Maline del Rey, and in other battles, he loss of the Americans was very 7 at, and victory was secured only by Sliatit valor, which would not admit Pdefeat, and by the better discipline nd cohesiveness of the northern forces, 4 he endurances displayed by these ged veterans in marching was refarkable, and while some of them may ferhaps be living a tenth of a ceni y bence the great mass of them will a e passed bravely and quietly away Taylor, Scott, Worth, Doniphan, Wool and Kearney. The Nation owes much to these gallant men, and the pensions paid them should be so increased that the needy ones may live the remainder of their days in peaceful comfort. They deserve much from California for they were its real, though distant, pioneers. Their services should be ever remembered with feelings of deepest gratitude, and State and people should unstintedly grant them any needed aid tv make their latest days as happy and and triunphant. JUST THE SIZE OF IT. Nevada City Shocks the Sensibilities of the Athens of California. Nevada City announces that the town is to be thrown “wide open” during the approaching encampment there of the G.A.R. If they are going to that extent for the old-timers who, as a. rile, are staid and sober, whut do they propose todo for the’ Native Sons when they hold their grand parlor up there next week. It will have to be a case of “everything goes but murder.”—QOakland ‘Tribune. Nevada City’s style is to always do the prettiest she can for her guests on every occasion. That’s why people in other parts of the State like to come here and shake off the ennui that they are always breathing in sleepy, prim villages like Oakland and Milpitas. The old soldiers have found out already this week that they don’t have to ask for anything they want from us. We of the mountains who are bred in the very nesting-place of freedom appreciate the fact that if it were not for tLem we might not be here now, and they are welcome to just reach out and take anything we have so long as they don’t want our wives and babies. As for the Native Sons, we had them here once before, and k now just what to expect of them. ‘To be sure they stole away some of our Native Daughters ‘then and married thém. They’) just as likely as not steal more of them this time. But we didn’t kick then and don’t propose to now. No, everything but murder “goes” with the vets and the boys, and that’s why they like it here. i Hot Lunch Every Night Pine and Broad: Good music and jolly time. al9-tf Oo + Bd again joined the growing legions of /Robin Hood. quiet as their early lives were heroic: + thing to eat ?” At the Ccuncil Chamber Saloon, pos fis “OLD WAR STORIES. Some. of the. Old. Veterans Tell Several Good Ones There are a number of famous story tellers here with the Grand Army. Last evening a crowd of the old boys got together and these are samples of their yarns: HE WANTED SOMETHING TO EAT. General Forest, during the late war, was once approached by an Arkansas man, who asked: “General, when do you reckin’ we're goin’ to get something to eat?” ". “Kat )” exclaimed the General. “Did you join the army merely to get some“Waal, that’s about the size of it.” “Here,” calling an officer, “give this Man something to eat, and then have him shot.” The officer understood the joke, and replied: “All right, General.” The Arkansas man, exhibiting no alarm, said: : “Bile mea ham, Oap’n, stew up a couple o’ chickens, bake two or three hoe-cakes, fetch a gallon o’ so o’ buttermilk, and load yer guns. With sich inducements, the man that wouldn’t be willing to die is a blame fool.” THE IRISHMAN HAD HIM. A man named Dougherty was drilling with his squad of recruits at Camp Joe Holt, Ky. Dougherty was six fect two in height, and at that time the orderly sergeant was a man whose height was only five feet four. On this day he & proached the squad looking sharply about him for some fault to find. ROYAL BAKING POWDER ©0., NEW YORK.

Dougherty raised his head slightly. “Up higher, sir ¢” ¢ det ‘The head was raised again. Then the Sergeant managed by standing on hia toes to reach Dougherty’s chin, and he poked it higher, with the remark: “That’s better. Don’t let me your head down again.” ‘ By this time everybody was interested at seeing Dougherty staring away above the orderly sergeant’s head, when a voice from above said in a rich brogue: “Am I always to be like this sergeant ?” : “Yes, sir.” “Then I'll say goodby to ye, sergeant, for Pil never see yez again.” © GOVERNOR TOD AND THE APPLICANT, A good thing is told of Governor Tod of Ohio, whose labor in the great work Out to have their practical knowledge tested in the application of splints, bandages, and first aid to the wounded. To properly carry out this examination about twenty men were sent out in skeleton marching order, each man bearing a ticket labeling him as suffering from some kind of fracture, wound, etc. The patients, as such they were called, were directed to lie down at stated intervals from each other, and at some distance from the field hospital. An officer appearing on the scene did not think the patients sufficiently removed from the bearer companies, and, to the great astonishment and amusement of troopsand spectators alike, called out in a loud aud comManding tone, “Dead and wounded» arise and come over here.” HE WASN’T THERE. A soldier, a young Irishman, was charged with striking his superior officer, Corporal —,° and when asked in the usual'way by the president of suppressing the rebellion may be characterized as of the heartiest and . most telling character. An old lady between fifty*and sixty years of age, entered the Governor's office and-niade an effort to induce that personage to exempt hor hustand from the draft. . Mr. Tod looked at her an instant and exclaimed: “Why, the old gentleman is exempt, “Ah, but he ar’n’t an old gentleman;” and the applicant added, “he’s only 85.” “In that case,” said the Governor, “T cannot do anything for ‘him, but Tl tell you what I'll do for you; in case he’s drafted and gets killed, I'll marry you myself.” ‘This seemed to satisfy the old lady, and she accordingly departed; — THE DEAD RISE, . It was on the Long Valley. A party of men, about sixty innum ber, had gone if he objected to any of the cffl-ers forming the court, he answered: “Shure, I object to ye all.”“"On what Brounds?” asked the president. “It’s not guilty Tam!” Of course he was informed that his innocence was not yet proved. “Well,” he continued, “I objects to the Colonel.” “State your ob jection.” “Well, sure, he wasn’t prisent when I struck the Corporal.” Ladies, Attention.
