! Millions tor Pensions.

WAsHiNaros, March 16.GTbe House
Appropriation Committee will report an
amendment to the special deficiency bill
now pending inthe House. providing
for an appropriation OF e6,665. 900 TO
complete .he psyment of pensions for
the present fiscal year, ending June 80,
1880: The sum OF $58, loo, 900 has al
ready been appropriated, aud this last
item will swell the sggregate 10 $62,-
765,000 required to pay the pension
rolls during 1850. The Pension bill for
1881, which has aiready become Law,
appropriates $50. .400, 900. 1t is es,imat.
ed, however, judging from the large
number OF additions to the rolls which
are continually being made, thst the next
Congress will be called upon to pass a
still larger deficiency bill to meet the re-
quirements Of the Pension Bureau.

\ WAsursoroN, March 16 The judg-
ment is that all the Democrats OF the
Ways and Means Committee will vote
for placing paper pulp and, ether, mate
rials used in the manufacture OF paper
on the free list, and that the Republicans
will vote against 1t. The newspaper
men and the manufacturers have, both
made lame cases in the arguments so
far made before the, committee. For
exsmpIe, the former say that you car
buy pulp in Sweden and Norway for a
cent and half pound, and that with
au ad valorem DUTY Of only 20 per cent,
very little is ever imported, and yet they
say this pulp in the United States, sells
at from three and half to four cents a
pound. Now, the question srises, why
win cspitalists invest in four per cent.
bonds when there is such an inviting
margin on paper pulp2 On the other
hand the manufacturers fail 10 show why
they want this 20 per cent. kept on for
eign pulp. II they asked for one hur-
dred per cent. there would be some pro
lection. They evince dread that Car.

Thirteen at Table.

As the circamslances preceding the
lamentably sudden death Of DR.. FAIR
bank fthe Qaeen's surgeon have been
much discussed, more especially by The
superstitious, have been asked to state
the simple facts Of the care, which, as il
so happened, came under my own OBJ
servstion. Fifteen persons we're invited
by Dr.. Zacharie to dine at his residence
in BRONX street on Wednesday. On the
morning Of that day two gentlemen wrote
to say they could not be present. The
number being thus reduced to thirteen,
the host was about to ask an intimate
friend to come, so that the unlucky 6g-
ure might be avoided. Just then tele-
gram was received from another Of the
expected guests to say that he feared he
could not get to Brook street In time for
dinner. As there was thus chance Of
escaping from the unpleasantness OF sit
ting dewn thirteen TO table, DR. Zach.
arie did not invite another friend. But
the man who had sent the telegram sp-
peared, and presently everybody re-
fr-ss.
marked upon the ominons number pres
ent. The guests we're the Hon. Mr..
Dutton, Mr. Eaton, Dr.. Fairbank, Mr..
iMorrel Mackenzie, DR.. Alfred Meadows,
Mr.. Alfred Cooper, Mr.. Puleston, NJ. p;
Mr. Heather- Bigg, Mr.. Biumenthal, Mr.
Cassals, Mr.. Cassala, jr., and myself.
Withthe host, there were thus thirteen
DR.. Fairbank, who was the FIRST to sit
down to dinner and the frst TO rise from
the table, wss warned land it seems to
have been the right wnrd In this case
