REPoRT OF THE COMMISSIONER OF PENSIONS
The repoet Of Mr.. ]. L. Heath, Commissioner
of Pensions, exhibits favorable condition OF
affairs in that bureau. The whole number of
pensions op the rolls is l9, ella slight dinlinuto
compared with the preceding year. The whole
amount expended for pensions during the past
year. ending the 30th September, is as far as can
be ascertained, s ,439 SAB.
''Since tlie last annual report, 3 ,3tlS warrants
have been issued for services in the Mexican war.
These necessarily require much time, care, aud
attention, most of them being suspended Cases.
nj uch labor is also employed in she examinations
necessary 10 prevent the issue OF more than one
warrant 10 claimant under both these laws. In
many cases applicants filed separate applications
for their services in the several Iudian wars and
in that of 1872"
The passage Of The act Of the 23jh September,
1890, having induced inquiry into the rights of
those who served in the war Of 1912, many Just
claims to that service have been brought to light.
The numerous examinations necessary to decide
whether claimants kinder the act of 1850 had re-
ceiyed or were entitled to bounty for services in
the war of 1872 have materially increased the
labors OF the latter division in this Office Ninety
two warrants have been issued in The las, year,
under the acts of 2ilh Decenber, 1911; Iith OF
Janaary, 1879, aud 10Th December, 1914, and
there are now 450 suspended claims under those
acts
Thus ii viii be seen that since the last port
from this oi6ce, there have been issued uuder the
acts Of 1911, 1912, and Is II, ninety-two
rants, TO Wit:

lieu of 40 acres.
Up TO the first Of November, about one hundred
and iiity-Seven thousand acres had been flied,
leaving, after deductinr such fully or
partially acted upon, upwards Of eighty thousand
slo be considered. The suspended cases (ibout
twenty-five thousand al The time menrioued} re-
qured much more labor than the same number
Of ordary claims, and give rise to Il heavy cor
respondcnce.
The act OF the 2Ist July, 1898, made certain
provisions for the widows and orphans of officers
and soldiers IN the Mexican war. The number
who have received the benefit Of the t, and
now on the rolls, is $50.

htET MY GRAVE BE THE DEEP"
BY DR.. STANLEY

EY DIR. STANLEY.
oh. make me grave where the dark biilo"s loss
Tn the pride of their bounding glee;
1.rhere the ioyfu shrek of the Aibatross
Peas forth in his mad ecstasy:
Let the vast depths of Ocean Ioll over my bed,
And the tall branching coral entwine DER my head
Oh. speak to me not of a flowery mound,
In the churchyard's verdant breast.
Where the placid quiet of holy ground
Might lulI me to peaceful rest
For the daisied turf would invite the tread
OF the stranger, to jest on the helpless dead.
Rnt afar in the realms of the fathomess sea
Would bury my lifeess form;
And ask no more glorious elegy
Than the howl of wrathful storm
IN the desert of waters Oh! let me die,
Deep, deep in its caverns let me lie!

This medicine is in the form OF powder the only

administered by any other physician. II il the ONLY
medicine which has no Worm-seed Oil or Turpentne
combined with it, which is believed By all other ivsi-

medicines, aud OF which, there is generally
something added 10 destroy this nauseous taste and in
order TO do this, must be something stronger than The
medicine ITSELF and therefore, it must necessarily DESTROY

the principle upon which being different from anv
thing else used, will destroy all kinds of Worms
with certainty equaIed. II will not only DESTROY

If your children have any symptoms of worms try
these powders, and in nine of ten you " in

Great additions to the Bill of Fare E.
rNHE propI letor Of this public and fa-
l. vorite resort, is pleased to inform his
thousand friends (upon the Atlantic a$
well as the golden side of the continent,)
of his safe return, with his family, to the
land of promise, from the cold aud frozen
regions of the North, and now considers
himself permanently located in San Fran
Icscp-the most lovely and heathful spot
upon the face Of the earth. We would
therefore inform those who have so long
in addition TO his great variety Of pastry,
delicious tea and coffee, baked pork and
beans, ham, Seq Il little more variety Of
the substantlals for the inner man; such
as steaks, soups, oysters, buckwheat and
Indian cakes. That agreeable to their
wishes, and to redeem the pledge he gave
them previous to his leaving for the States.
he has enlarged his saloon to nearly
double its former size, and that every
thing is now readyto satisfy the most vo-
racious, or delicate appetite, supplied al
the table from six O'Clock in the morning
till twelve at night.
l he candy business at the counter will

the country, for candy, cakes and other
fancy fixings. Orders for balls, weddings
fairs, and social parties, executed with the
same punctuaIity which has been ob
served at the Fountain Head since its foun
Lation in 1sAo,
10 those who have visited this place
but once, and tasted of the good things
there to be had, he deems it unnecessary
to say more than that every thing about
the concern will he conducted upon the
same principa of neatness, quality and
Iberalty which has been so highly APP
proved OF, and which is so peculiarly his
own, and to those who are strangers in
the city, re would say, try for yourselves.
With his troupe of corteous walters,
superior workmen in each branch of his
business, and Captain, (or Col. Pierce, ]
should have said,) using the title journal

why should not, if merit deserves pro
motion behind the counter-he fatters
himself that matters Will be done up to the
entire satisfaction ofSa discriminating
public.
Please hear in mind, Winn's Fountain
Head is Al and 49 Long Wharf, between
Sansone and Battery streets, and that no
other house, in the city or country is con-
nected with it in any way, shape, or man

We have understood that houses, we
cannot say like, or even similar, for that
would be giving them too much credit,
have been started and by those interested,
r. cIaimpd IN Ie branches Of the EoIIutaiti
Head. This stealing his thunder he thinks
is unfair and ungentlemanly, to say the
least of it; he that as it may, he leaves it
to a discriminating public to judge.
