EQUIVALENT DISABILITIES.

The following statement shows the number
who are in receipt of pension on account of
disabilities equivalent to the amputations
mentioned, and such Others as may be affected
by the bill in question, also the annual value
of the increase, provided this class should be
allowed $40 per month";
There are S,S47 now receiving $1S per
month, and the net increase will be 81 1886, Cos;
1862 now receiving $2i per month, and the
net increase will be $297, 1884 232 now receiv-
ing S3l. 20 per month, and the net increase will
be $2l ,576; IA now receiving S36 per month";
and the net increase will be $672; 2S9 are Off
GERS above the rank of first lieutenant, and
the estimated net increase will be $50, ,4S0; in
all, 1925, and a net increase of S2,7l6, 800
This estimate is to the close of the last fiscal
year. An examination of 10000 original cases
recently allowed shows that q per cent. of the
same received pension wherein tho current
rate was at and above SlS per month and less
than $40 per month. This not including am
putations 1t is rare case of this class is now
allowed Assuming that 10000 claims of this
class (invalids) should be allowed during the
current year. together with the increase al
lowed, bringing Others within the some descrip-
ton, the annual increase during the present
year would be augmented by this class some
$i50,000, which added to S2,7l6,320 would
make total increase for equivalent disabili-
tics of SO, ,166, 800.
Another proposition presented py the reso-
luton is the probable number of pending
cases which would be affected and added to
the rolls, which are estimated at 1856 6147.
The same ratio of 27 per cent. for rates at and
above S15 per month and less than $40 per
month, would give an estimated net increase
in value, under the provisions Of this bill, of
$S92, 1000.
g. The number of pensioners on the roll
June 80, 1882, who We're receiving IS per
al Of
month, with the present annual value, is As
497, representing $5,539,696 To increase
these proportionately with the $lS and $24
class would bring the rates up to SIS, $50, $25,
$50, and S35 per month, as near as they could
be equitaRly estimated, The next annual in

A Rlazing Wnste-Basket.

An able statesman tossed half-consumed
cigar into waste-basket at Welcker's last
evening, and started a lively contlagration.
The fire was extinguished by the employees of
the hotel without turning in an alarm, and in
the future stalwart Alsatian, with fire.

the congressional guests who promenade the

Sea Service and Harbor Service.

The bill introduced by Senator Aldrich to
amend the laws with regard to the distinction
between "sea service and "harbor service,
defines sea service as service at sea under or
der of the department, and harbor service as
service performed on vessel permanently
stationed in port One-half Of the time
served in port is To be credited as sea service
Tnis regulation is the same as in the English
navy.

AceidentaIIr A Shot

James W. Pope, a colored lawyer of South
Boston, Halifax county, Va, accidentally shot
himself in the right leg Tuesday night, in
ficting wound which will probably render
amputation necessary,
National Republican., 1882-12-21

There are, therefore, of this class (amputa-
tons) 9,1S2, with total net annual increase
if house bill 1410 should become law, allow
ing $40 per month, of $2,021,2 ,244. This num-
ber will diminish from year to year, as it is
rare that new pension is now allowed for
amputation.

Ex-senator Conkling was followed by Mr..
A. L. Hart, the attorney general of California,
who argued in behalf of the state and Of the
county of San Mateo, that the effect of the
proceedings of the state board of equalization
of California in tho levy of the assessment
sued upon was not to deprive the railway COM
pany of its property without "due process OF
law" within the meaning of those terms as
used in the fourteenth amendment to the con-

MUCH Indignation has bssn
raised among the truckers in the
nsighborhood Of Pocomoke City
by The action of McGaw & Co.,
who ran the canning house in tina
place last year. The truckers
complain that McGsw & Go. con-
tracted with them to grow a large
acreage of tomatoes the present
summer, and after they had gone
to considerable expense in tho way
OF buying fertilizers and seeds
for the purpose stated, aud just
as they are ready TO put out
their tomato plants, mcGas & Co.
have sold out their interest in the fac
tory to Chase & Co.. who took charge
one day this week. The latter firm
ray that as they are likely to be able
to obtain all the peaches they wish
they are not prepared to offer induce
ments to the truckers 10 grow toma-
toes. And so the matter stands at
present.

them initiate in their own ground
having q little spade, or hoe,
or q large spoon TO move the soil
with, and don't forget to 60 along
to see how they have cleaned these
and hung them up so as to keep
bright and pleasant to use again.
Later show how you hoe and weed

BY Universal Accord.

AYERS CATHARTIc Pills are the best
OF all purgatives for family use. They
are the product of long, laborious, and
successful chemical investigation, and
their extensive use, by physicians in
their practice, and by all civilized ma
tions, proves them the best and most
efectual purgative Pin that medical
science can devise. Being purely veg
etable no harm can arise from their
use, and being sugar-coated, they ere
pleasant to take. In Intrinsic value
and curative powers no other Pills
can be compared with them; and every
person, knowing theiR virtues, will
employ them, when needed. They
keep the system IN perfect order, and
maintain IN healthy action the whole
machinery q life. Mild. searching and
effectual. they are especially adapted
to the needs q the digestive apparatus,

TIE high prices asked for foot

TIE high prices asked for food

the fact is known that exports OF

in New York last week that his
