An Appeal for the Helpless.
To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:

To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
Among the recommendations for pension leg
islation presented by the G.. A. r. committee
before the Committee on Invalid Pensions,
think there be none more worthy of considera-
ton than the recommendation to increase the
pensions of the totally helpless from S72 per
month to 500 per month They are but few
in number, but their sufferings and depriva-
tions are legion, and the present pension allowed
is not commensurate with their disability or
adequate to their needs. do not learn of any
movement in their behalf, either by any bill
introduced or any action taken by the commit
tee. l hope and trust that the claim for this
deserving class of pensioners viii not be over
looked For surely this Congress- which is so
anxious to pension General Grant $4,000 per
year, who has health and rich friends, viii not
think 800 per month too much for these poor,
helpless soldiers, who have nothing.

10 the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
l notice in your issue of HAY 10 that Com
rade J. b. Lindsay, company K, 50th o. V. l.,
rather doubts that DR.. Woods was surgeon of
the 50th. Does he not remember that we boys,
when the doctors were passing by, used to sing
the doctors call, as follows: "Quinine, quinine
it will make you well, it viii make you well,
it viii make-"and the doctors seemed to enjoy
it? We continued to sing this call after the
consolidation, and one morning, at dress parade,
an order was read to the effect that any soldier
or company that ventured to sing the doctors
call would be punished severely. About 8
o'clock the doctors came riding by as usual,
and we all thought of the song but dare not
sing it, when one Of the members of company
l commenced whistling it, and in moment we
all took it up. The doctors stuck spurs to their
horses and were soon at the head of the bri-
gade, where they informed S. A. Stricklin, COM
manding that the 50th Ohio was the darndest
set of men they had ever seen. I hope Dr..

senator sharon's DIyorce suit.

Ex-senator Sharon testified at San Francisco
on the 26th inst, for the first time in the suit
brought against him by Miss Hill for divorce
and alimony. He denied ever having s., 500
from the plaintiff for investment. He said the
word wife" in the letters produced addressed
by him TO her, was forgery. lie never signed
the alleged marriage contract. The document
was forgery. He never knew of its existence
until he saw it in court. He denied ever hay
ing proposed marriage in any form TO the plant
i'll. Mr.. Sharon then rec0unted the circum-
stances of his first meeting with Miss Hill.
She called on him TO ask his advice about in
vestInent IN certain stocks. She called several
times subsequently,, and, rs on one occasion
the plaintiff did not resent some fmiliari-
ties that passed between them, he offered her
$50 a month TO live with him. She replied
that it was not enough, when he increased the
amount offered to $780, which was silently ac-
cepted. From that time he continued to pay
the plaintiff that amount monthly.

The discovery was made in New York, on
the 23d inst, that Charles A. Hinckley, paying
teller of the West Side Bank, had embedded

The directors of the Erie Railway Company
announce that in consequence OF the unusually
large falling of in earnings for the first six
months of the present year they have decided
for the present to postpone the payment of the
coupons on the second consolidated mortgage
bonds due on the 1st of June. Under ordinary
circumstances, they say, they might rely on
the usual increase OF earnings during the last
half of the year to supply the deficit; but in
the present depressed condition of business the
board does not feel at liberty to deal with any
thing but the business and earnings as now
ascertained. The board believes that such fail
ure to provide for the payment of the interest
cannot be of long duration, and that the pres
| emit emergency will speedily pass.
The annual report of the National Millers'
Association, issued on the 18th inst at Roch-
! ester, n. Y, shows the prospect Of the wheat
crop to be generally good. In Virginia the
average crop for five years has been s, 100000
| bushels. The present condition is good. Dur
| ing the present month it has improved, and
there is but one county in which the outlook
| is not good. None is to be shipped. In Penn
! sylvania the acreage is about the same as last
/ year, the present condition is very fine. and
! the outlook is generally good. In Maryland
| the acreage is about the same as year ago.
The condition is excellent. During the past
month it has improved, and the prospects for a
/ full crop are better than year ago. The mills
will require all now in the farmers hands. In
| Delaware the acreage is unchanged, and the
| outlook good for a large crop. California viii
probably have the largest crop ever raised in
that State, estimated at s., 333, 900 bushels

Yankee DoodIe-Or Some Other Doodle.

To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
Permit me to relate an incident that came
under my notice at the battle of Williamsburg.
1t was late in the afternoon and the enemy
were pressing US very hard. The regiments
were broken and scattered, and things were
beginning to look blue. 1t was evident that
something must be done to check the enemy.
At this moment an officer of the 1st Massachu-
sets called for volunteers, and having gathered
some two hundred about him, they formed in
line and charged the woods on the left of the
road. This seemed to have the effect of check
ing the rebels, as they made no farther ad-
vance during the day. During the melee /
managed to gather in a couple Of Johnnies, and
was taking them back to the rear, when / saw
ahead of me, in the road, General Heintzelman
seated on a white horse. Just then battery
came galloping to the rear, and the troops who
were scattered about, evidently thinking a
skedaddle was in order, proceeded to join in
the race. When l arrived opposite Heintzel-
man he was very much excited, and crying out
to the flying troops with nasal twang),
Halt! you -, haiti" but they did not halt
worth cent; and seeing me standing there,
he pointed with his sword at the runaways and
said: Shoot the -; shoot EN-" AT this
moment some members of band happened
along, and having halted them, ordered them
to :" Give US Yankee Doodle, or some other
doodlei" at this the musicians struck up
some national air, and with the desired effect,
for the fleeing troops, supposing REINFORCE
ments were at hand, ceased to fall back.

STRANGER THAN FICTION
The TragicaI Side OF the Pension Office Delay.
lll,icnro Times, S..eci1.Il


The sensational writer or the curious searcher
after romantic episodes would scarcely think
of visiting the Pension Office as the place where
such materials could be found; but in reality
its dusty archives contain more of the elements
OF the tragic than all the other bureaus under
the Government combined.
The two instances narrated below were rela-
ted to the writer by an official of the office, and
furnish another illustration of the well-worn
adage that truth is stranger than fiction"
The first is that OF soldier who applied for
pension several years after the close of the war.
1t was rejected, first on one foTmaiity and then
another. Finally, after the lapse of years, the
claim was allowed but when the certificate
was sent TO the applicant it was returned
with the announcement that he was dead
| Under the law the widow was entitled to
pension, but the delays were almost intermin-
able, and she too died before it was granted
The couple left two children, aged respectively
| ten and twelve years, and q singular part OF
the story is that they in turn were carried of
by prevailing epidemic while their own
application was pending The laws delay !"
was never more fittingly illustrated than IN the
case of this hapless family.
The other instance, which is even more pa
thetic, is that of a young man who served as a
| private in an Iowa regiment and died IN An
| Jacksonville prison. His mother, simple, un-
educated old woman, made no effort to secure
| q pension until along III 1878. owing 10 the
| careless manner III which the records of the
| prison were kept, she experienced considerable
| difficulty in establishing the fact of her sons
! death, though the fact of his long and honor
able service was fully attested by the officers of
| his regiment Meanwhile, the old lady, who
! had neither chick nor child in the world, be-
came pensioner upon the bounty of her
| towns-people, who at last united In petition
| to their Congressman asking that her claim be
made special" The accrued sum was 81 100,
and her advanced age precluded the possibility
of her living more than a few years. But the
Congressman was either two busy or too indif-
ferent to give it much consideration, and it
dragged along until one day last week, when it
was finally adjusted, and check for the amount
forwarded to her attorney. It was returned
to the Office this morning with the simple
announcements that at the hour of its arrival the
little band of mourners who had loved and
cared for her were conveying her ifeless body
to the grave. She had died two days previous

sob, yes" was the reply. "You newspaper
men and the public generally regard them as
very touching, but we do not. 1t is a simple
matter of business with US. We would rather
reject a claim any time than pay it."

In spite of the policy of the Government to
deal generously with those entitled TO pensions,
there comes 10 light now and then sad case.
Elias Truly, Federal soldier, died IN one OF
the hospitals at Yicksburg in August, 1863, of
wounds received at the battle at Port Hudson,
July of that year. HIS widow, judah Truly,
has been an applicant for pension during
eighteen years. Her application was first made
from Vieksburg, and Afterwards from Port
Gibson. Last December St. Louis pension
agent undertook 10 secure her claim. The first
really substantial recognition OF her rights was
the award Of bounty of $227, which was made
TO her last November. Recently the matter was
finally adjusted, and the information was re-
ceiyed that Mrs Truly would be allowed a
little over $1,000. At her advanced age of Go,
and after a life of privation and toll, the sur.
prise was too much for her. She heard the
good news while at the washtnh at her home
IN East st. Louis, was overcome with JOY, and
died in few moments, before the vouchers
could be signed by her.
