Mark Twain as a Pensioner.

Mark Twain has turned up i'm the
Pension Office as an applicant for a
pension, and quite naturally his appli-
cation is so worded as to seriously inter-
rupt the business of the bureau. 1t
seems Mr.. Samuel Clements of Elma,
n. Y, was an applicant for pension
on account of rheumatism, sore eyes
AMI other troubles. On June % Conn
missioner Black wrote Mr.. Clements
that the application was rejected, be-
cause it did not state a pensionable
disability. 1t seems Senator Hawley
of Connecticut, had something to do
with the application, and the day be-
fore Gen. Blacks letter was written he
wrote to Mr.. Clements at Elma, n. V,
congratulatiug him on the allowance
of the pension, thinking it had been
favorably considered. Now it happens
that Mark Twain, otherwise Samuel
l.. Clements,is at present at Elmira, n.
V, and Hawley's postal card, as well
as Blacks letter, went To Samuel Gle
mems at Elmira, instead of Samuel
Clements at Elma. The result was the
following letter:
ELMIRA, n. V, July s, lSS5.-John
G.. Black, ESQ.,, Commissioner: DEAR
SIR have not applied for pension.
have often wanted pension-often,
ever so often, may say; but inasmuch
as the only military service | perform
ed during the war was in the Confeder-
ate army, have always felt delicacy
about asking for it. However. since
You nave suggested the thing yourself,
feel strengthened. | haven't any
very pensionable disease myself, but L
can furnish substitute, man who is
lust simply a choas, museum OF all
the different kinds OF aches ana pains,
fractures, disloca tons, distempers, dis
tortions, COMMISSIONS and maifnrmauohs
there are; a man who would regard
"rbeumatism and sore eyes, as mere |
recreation aud refreshment after the
serious occupations of his day.
IF Won grant me the pension, dear sir,
please hand it to Gen. Hawley: United
States Senator-I mean hand him the
certificate, not the money-and he Will
forward it to me. You will observe by
his postal card herewith enclosed that
he takes a friendly interest in the mat
ter, He thinks I've already got pen
sion, whereas I've only got the Theu
matism, but 1 didn't want that; had
that before. I wish it were catchlng.
/ know a man that ] would load up
with it pretty early. Lord! we all OF
us feel that way sometimes. I've seen
the day when-but never mind that;
you may be busy. Just hand IL TO
the certificate you unuer-
stand, if not transferable.
Very truly yours, S. L.. GLEN EMS.
Known to the police as "Mark Twain"

Neither mental nor physical labor cal be
accomplished satisfactorily unless the sys-
tenn is i'm order. When you feel tired, languid,
wearied without eXertion, the mind slow to
act, and requiring great mental effort, you
can rest assured that your Liver is not act
ing properly, and that nature requires as
sfstance to help throw off impurities. There
is no remedy that will accomplish this so
mildly and yet effectually as PRICKLY ASH
BITTERS. A trial will satisfy you of its
merits
