PENs1oNs.-The annual report Of the U.
S. Commissioner of Pensions, transmitted to
Congress at the opening Of this session, esti-
mated the total amount needed for pensions
for the ensuing fiscal year at no less than
s3O,SOO,OO0, and yet this does not include the
whole account, for on the Both of June, 1872,
the close of the last fiscal year, there were on
file in the Pension Bureau, unadjudicated, no
less than 37,176 claims of invalid pensioners,
33, 1852 claims of widows, orphans, and depen-
dent relatives, and 1850 of soldiers and
widows of the war of 1912. TO meet every
just claim Congress promptly voted $50, $780,
600. We have just barely finished with Rev
olutionary pensions, although it is nearly
century since independence was declared. If
the pensions of the war of 1872 hang out in
the same way they will be closed about the
year 1900, and as for the pensions on the civil
war list it will be 1860 before they are closed
out. These figures arc in no sense exaggera-
ted. Indeed we are not certain but there may
still be some Revolutionary pensions left.
Thereis is nothing like pension for insurng
long life.

GooD NATURE.-There are many persons
who suppose that good nature is kindness. It
has not one attribute of it, necessarily. Half
the time good nature is good digestion that
is all. Half the time good nature is nerves
well sheathed in adipose matter. Many men
do not feel cross and are not irritated; and
why should they not be kind and easy.going'
Why, we can show you hundreds of blessings,
sweet.cheeked, sunny-faced, plump.bodied
men who go through the world kindly; We
don't undervalue them. They lubricate the
way of life, but they ought not to call them.
selves by false names Good nature is far
more physical than mental. And it is not
active; it does not energize anything; it does
not suffer for the sake Of doing good to other
people. There are many rough, severe men,
who, though they will hew you with their
tongue, will put forth ten times as much true
love for you as these waxy-cheeked, good
natured men.

We have occasionally referred to the
Rock River swindle. VIM. Colville,
Esq, OF Red Wing, met several of those
agGrieved, at Ellsworth last "Wednesday,
and administered consolation by devel-
oping the fact that the corporation never
had a Legitimate existence in the state
that it was spurious concern at the
outset, and was still-born-that its
heirs at law are impostors as we'll as
swindlers. All this we knew before,
but this affords no relief, since the cost
of defending the actions brought would
be much greater than the cost of smica.
Bile settlements. If any man desires
relief, however, at the hands of the
Courts, he can doubtless obtain it by
taking the proper steps.
1t has been suggested that the cheap
est, shortest and best way for these
victims to rid themselves of this curse,
is for them to join together and serve
an injunction on that said Ira f. Good
ell, the pretended assignee of this bogus
concern.
We have no advice TO volunteer 10
the matter, bit publish these sugges-
tons that those Of our readers who
may be sufferers, can have the benefit
of them. They have our sympathy,
and can have our aid by asking foy it.
