A Pension Incident,

WASHINGTON CITY, April 2S.-A pathetic
incident told by a clerk in the pension office
is that of a young man who served as pri-
yate in an Iowa regiment and died in Ander-
sonville prison. His mother, simple, un.
educated old woman, made no effort to
secure pension until along in 1878. Owing
to the careless manner in which the
records of the prison were kept, she ex.
perienced considera bic difficulty IN establish
ing the fact of her sons death, though the
fact Of his long and honorable service was
fully attested by the officers of his regiment.
Meanwhile the old lady who had neither
chick nor child in the world, became a pen.
sioner upon the bounty of her townspeople,
who at last united in a petition to their CON
gresham asking that her claim be made
special" The accrued sum was LOO, and
her advanced rye precluded the possibility of
her living more than few years But the
congressman was either too busy or too indif.
ferent to give it much consideration, and il
dragged along until one day last week, when
it was finally adjusted, aud Il check for the
amount forwarded to her attorney. 1t was
returned to the Office with the simple an
nouncement that at the hour Of its arrival
the little band OF mournels who had loved
and cared for her were conveying her lifeless
body to the grave. She had died two days
previous.

RESULT OF A BAD NAME.
Had Two Hours TO Spare in Chicago
Enr Hiynrep


CHICAGO April 2S.-A neatly dressed
woman of twenty odd summers sailed up to
Chief Clerk Coffeen's desk in the superior
court and stood on one foot waiting fOr
some one too address her
What can do for you, madame" asked
the exquisite chief clerk, after laboriously
working his features into one of his most fas-
cinatinE smiles
"I-ah-that is, sir, please can l get a di-
vorce?"
"Well, said Lester, little startled at the
unusual method taken by the lady i'll apply
ing for one of the staple artic les of the supe-
rior court, a don't know about that. You
had better consult a lawyer.
81 cont want no lawyer; | think lawyers
are just horrid l want q divorce, and
want it now"
"Well, we don't keep them in stock, ma
dame, like readv-made clothes, but if you
consult some lawyer who makes divorces a
speciality land there are plenty of them)
think you can have one made to order in
time for the evening train"
"WelI, don't see what's the use of having
half dozen mon in your old office if you
