Special Correspondence National Tribune.
WILLIAMsPoRT, PA, March 16.-The next

of effecting a county organization. Mr.. J. B.
Dentworth was chosen president, Lieutenant
F. II. Crofts secretary, Captain John E. Kane
corresponding secretary, Colonel 2. Huey
treasurer. Committees were appointed on
reception, arrangements, finance, music
speakers, and refreshments. A special invita-
ton was sent to General David NJ. Gregg, of
Reading, requesting his presence at the Re-
union, which, by the way, occurs on the ami
versary of the battle of Charlottesville The
Eighth Pennsylvania Cavalry, it will be recol-
lected, is the regiment that made the famous
charge on Stonewall Jaekson's corps, which
consisted of $4,000 men, at the Chancellors-
vile engagement.

SAD FATE OLA SOLDIERS CHILD,

Inquiry into the circumstances connected
with the death of jeremiah Drexel, aged IA
years, who died at tho Pennsylvania Hospital
on Saturday, proved that it was the result of
exhaustion from amputation of both legs. The
little fellow was admitted to the hospital early
in September last, having been brought from
the Soldiers Orphans Home in Perry county,
Pa. He stated to the attending physician that
at years of age he had been bound out to a
farmer in the vicinity of his home, who half
fed, half-clothed, and beat him very badly.
While working for this farmer, which was two
years previous to being brought to the hospital,
his limbs were badly frozen from being COM
PEELED to work about the place in winter time
without shoes. The jury attributed his death
to exhaustion.

For THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE.
SLEEP, COMRADES, SLEEP!
BY W. d. II.

Sleep, comrades, sleep! The clinging rust
Lies thick upon the blade,
And valor is obscured by lust
OF money and of trade;
The fife is mute; no more the drum
The drowsy camp alarms;
The piping times of peace have come,
And Pleasure spreads her charms.
Sleep, comrades, sleep! The cannon's roar
No longer fills the air;
The rifle volley routs no more
The Rebel from his lair.
Where once the beacon brightly shone,
The sentry walked his round,
The crumbling hearthstonc marks alone
The consecrated ground.
Sleep camrades, sleep, The battle-iag
Is rotting on the staff,
And soon, perchance, the tattered rag
Will waken but laugh;
The peaceful plowshare ceaves the sod,
Once wet with Wars red stain,
And fields that mighty armies trod
Are starred with flowers again.
BY some thy valOr be,
Forget the Veterans will not
To keep their tryst with thee;
The general muster of the dead,
Whate'er on earth bctide,
Shall find them still by Glory led
And marching by thy side.

Answers to Correspondents.

We are obliged to answer certain inquiries of the
same nature in each issue of our paper. While we
eheerfully furnish information to subscribers In this
column, we suggest that much labor time, and ex-
Bense may be saved both to ourselves and to our
correspondence if the latter and other subscribers
would keep a file of the paper. They cosld then,
at any time, turn to the file and probably find the
very inquiry answered about which they would
have written to us. We trust that each and every
subscriber will profit by this suggestion.
L. L., PALMER, KANs.-1. The Surgeon
General is several months behind i'll his answers
to inquiries from the Pension Office and 3.
After the evidence i'll pension claim has been
completed, only short time-Say two or three
months-is required in finally disposing of it,
unless indeed the validity of the claim should
be suspected by the Pension Office, in which
event the case is referred to the special agent
of the Government for personal investigation
on the ground. The delay in the final adjudi-
cation of a claim is necessarily prolonged when
placed in the hands of one of these special
agents. 3. Very few eases are made special -
that is, taken up out of their regular order
at the Pension Office and these few only when
it is shown that to let the eases take their
course would work peculiar hardship to the
claimant. i. Your Member of Congress niqht

to the attention of the Commissioner.
E. A. s., Scandal, KANs-You appear to be

c. r. b., PRov1NCETowN, MAss.-You should
apply to the Secretary of the Navy for the last

officers, and also for the place of residence of
each at the date of entry into service.
Co. F, 22D WIS. INT-The e1-member of this

J. NJ B., SOLDIERS HOME, DAYTON, o.
The pension rating for loss Of limb is fixed by

Pension Office based upon the report of the
Examining Surgeon. The aim is to rate the
pensioner according to the degree of his dis
ability for the performance of manual labor.
Mrs. LAURA A. C.-Write to the adjutant-
general of New York for the desired infor1na-
tiOn. You do not require his name-address
him by his title, at the capital of the State.
Col. JOHN H., HowELLs DEPOT, n. "
In framing the bill to be introduced in Con-
gress for your relief have it read granting
pension from date of discharge" We do not
believe, however, that the Committee on 1nva-
lid Pensions would report bill thus phrased,
favorably. 1t is the practice of Congress to
date pensions from the passage of the act.
G. R. L., HoTcHKINsvILLE, CoNN.-The
Government will avail itself of everything of
record in your case. In some cases the record
establishes the claim and but little testimony
is demanded from the claimant.
A. B. r., NORWAY, IOwA.-If the ex-soldier
whose pension claim was pending when he
died, left any heir who is entitled, such heir
should apply. (See advertisement in this paper.)
G. g., LEON, IowA.-Your pension money
cannot be garnished nor attached by any legal
process until it comes into your hands. 1t is
then liable to such process, the same as money
earned by labor or otherwise.
-, BRowNvILLE NEB.-The Pension Of
fee is calling for evidence in new claims num-
bered in the neighborhood of 100000. Your
case should be reached for action before great
while.
o. Mem, PINEKNoB, WIs.-Your letter has
been placed in the hands of a competent attor-
ney who will have communicated with you
before this meets your eyes, and fully advise
you.
A. IT,, WEST FAIRFIELD, PENN.-lCl is lfnpOS-
sible for us to answer your inquiry satisfactor-
lily. The Commissioner may allow your claim
on the evidence already before him, upon your
filing sworn statement setting forth the utter
impossibility of supplying the additional evil
dence called for. If the Commissioner rejects
your claim, you can appeal to Congress for the
passage of special relief act.
REUBEN CUDNEY.-Write to the Adjutant
General of the State which sent your regiment
to the field for the last known post office
addresses of the late officers. The latter may
furnish you with the addresses of the late
enlisted men whom you mention.

rare American Coins.

The rarest United States coin is the
double eagle of 1S49, Of which there is
only one in existence, belonging to the
United States mint cabinet. The next
in rarity is the half-eagle of 1915, for
one of which it is said the King of
Sweden, to complete his collection Of
United States coins, paid the enormous
price of $4,000. Only five known speci-
mems of this half-eagle are in existence.
Another rare coin is the silver dollar of
1904. There are but ten genuine pieces,
all of which are now held by collectors.
Several restrikes have been made, but
to obtain fine one from the original die
would cost at least 81, 200. The halt
dollars of 1876 and 1897, if in fine con-
dition, bring $40; of the two the 1876 is
the rarest, and usually sells at still
higher rate.
The quarter-dollars of 1923 and 1927,
if in good condition, sell readily at $50
each but, if in strictly fine preserva'
ton, double that sum is cheerfully paid.
Of the dimes there are none of extreme
rarity still, among the rare coins Of
that denomination, that Of 1904 is the
rarest, and if in a good condition it car
be bought at from IS to $40, but rea
fine specimen would bring great dea
more. Among the helf-dimes that O
1902 is the rarest, and very fine piect
with that date sells readily at $780,

Husbands and Wives.

A good husband makes good wife.
Some men can neither do without wives
nor with them they are wretched oneal
in what is called single blessedness, and
they make their home miserable when
they get married they are like Temp
kins' dog, which could not bear to be
loose, and howled when it was tied mp.
Happy bachelors are likely to be happy
husbands and happy husband is the
happiest Of men. A well-matched couple
carry Joyful life between them, as the
two spies carried the cluster of Eshcol.
They are brace of birds of Paradise.
They multiply their Joys by sharing
them, and lessen their troubles by dlvld-
ing them this is fine arithmetic. The

pull together, and when it drags little

they love each other all the more, ane
