The father Of a deceased officer applied
for pension under the act of June 8.
1888. The mother of the officer claimed
and received a pension under the act of
July IA 1862 and the commissioner of
pensions rejected the application of the
father on the ground that the act OF July
9, 1866, excludes the father rom the hen
sfits OF the pension laws If dependent
member be living at the time Of the son s
decesse, and that, under the pension
laws, the survivorship of a dependent

death or remarriage, ard does not vest in

A ROYAL LETTER.
Singular History eff the Eptstla-Thz
Fortunes OF n FsvOrtte of Louis XIV.

7 Singular History eff the EptstIs-Thr
Fortunes OF n FsvOrtte Of Louis XIV.
/ From the New Orleans Crescent
During the reign Of Louis XIV, among
others who came to this country was the
Chevalier de Miziere, who was banisted,
il may, perhaps, be remembered by the
historical reader, by an order Of the
French king. The Chevalier had been
much loved, it is sale, by his royal mas
ter-Was what was called 8 miniOn of the
court, and il naturally enough happened
that the king again remembered him af-
ter q certain term of absence, and wrote
him a letter to return to court. De MiZ-
iere, however, had been too deeply
chagrined at his banishment to feel
much rejoiced at his good fortune.
He had, too, been paying court
OF another kind, and so to the
invitation he gave a positive refusal.
The king by this time had learned by
absence to appreciate the value and
amusing qualities Of his baRished
courtier, and not to be banked in his
wish, he sent an order to the governor Of
the province to arrest the obstinate chew
alier, and send him Boiens UoEens to
France. The order in due time arrived,
but before it could be carried into effect,
De Miziere got wind OF it, and still de-
termined never 10 return 10 q monarch
who had shown himself ungrateful,
started off secretly, and joined an eXpe
dition against the Nachitoches Indians.
He succeeded in this manner in holding
TO his resolution, but il WAS at the cost If
his life. He met the fate that befals
soldier from wounds or exposure, and all
haf do ffrrf hns ~ ~ ia nar he
has never returned.
The story was regarded as rather
Mythical, viewed by the skepticisnl of
the present time, and might have re-
manned always at least a matter Of doubt,
but for az accidental discovery whieL
placed the matter Ia a little different
light. An accomplished member of the
bar who. at that time, was an officer of
the court, had occasion to serve some I
sort Of notice in one Of the obscurest /
quarters of the city. The girl, upon 4
whom the papers were served, bore the I
name Of Clarine de MiEiere, and he, /
having frequently heard of the story,
made some inquiries, in I
which she stated thst she was descend I
ant Of De MiZiere. She produced bun I
die Of letters and papers, faded and
yellow, which soon convinced him hat
they had belonged TO the ehevaIier in
gu stion.
But the most singular part Of the story
vss that the very letter which Louis
XIV himself wrote, and which bore the
zeal OF France. had thus far escaped the
destroying hand of time. The papers
were readily given away by the owner,
who bad already destroyed or misiaid
portion Of them, and we're tnrued over
% a gentleman engaged in a concise his
iOry of the state. Mr. Arroyo, of the
lecond district bar, informs us that it is
It'll in existence. The history Of the
IL a curious one, and deserves
0me mention in the annals II the city.

COuOver, one OF the witnesses en-
ployed by Judge Advocate Holt tn swear
10 the completely of Jefferson Davis with
the assassination of President Linepin,
il on trial this week in Washington be-
fore the district supreme court for per
Jury. The charge Of perjury grows
out Of the testimony given by him
before the bureau OF military Justice
abuut the time of the assassination
trial. He and other witnesses sw0re
falsely and have since confessed 1t under
oath. The testimony given last summer
before the congressional committee
which was sppoin' ld % inquire whether
there was cause for holding Jefferson Ds-
Wis for trial as accessory 10 the murder of
Mr.. Lincoln, disclosed such lagrsnt wick
edness in the means used TO organize
evidence against Mr.. Davis, that the
country was shocked. The testimony
given showed money pad freely to bribe
witnesses, and proved the manufacture
of the brecise testimony which was to
be given by the witnesses. They re-
hearsed il, as II for a dramatic perform
ance, in their private quarters. This
they swOre to sfterward and charged
themselveqWith perjury. The agency of
Judge AdfeDcate Holt in this criminal
business does not fully appear, although
the testimony points directly to him as
the dispenser of gold which went into
the hands Of these abandoned men who
accepted the price of blood and attempted
to swear away the life of an innocent
man. Whether the testimony before the
court this week will disclose the relation
of Holt to the criminal as confederate or
patron, remains TO be seen.
