Questions Answered

J. D., ST. ALBANs.--Yo will re-
eeive the blue Book" direct from
Washington. We do not keep it on
hand.
j. L., BELvIDERE.-You were not,
as dependent father, entitled to pen
sion from the date of the soldiers death
when the mother survived him. Your
pension properly commenced at the
date of the mothers death.
II. A. NJ, DUXBURY.--The town
cannot receive the two months pen
sion due Mrs. Shonio at her death to re-
imburse you for paying the expenses of
her last sickness and burial. You might
have drawn it if you had not been paid
for it. The reason for not re-imbursing
town is that it is as much the duty of a
town to support the poor as it is the
general government to give pensions.
G.. w. c., MoNTPEL1ER.-As you are
receiving pension of $50 a month for
the loss of a leg, you would not be en-
titled to the additional pension that the
slight wound in your hand would give
you if you was pensioned for nothing
else. If you were drawing less than
S24 month, you would be entitled to
a rating on the wound in your hand.
To get an increase above $50 a month,
your disability from all causes must not
only unfit you for any manual labor,
but render you so helpless as to require
the aid and attendance of another
person
ANSWERS to several correspondents
are necessarily deferred until next week.

The Pension Office.

The business hours of the pension
Office are from nine A. NJ. to two p. M.
The writer arrived at that office on bust
ness few minutes before nine A. NJ. A
negro porter inquired whom we wished
to see. Being informed that it was the
commissioner of pensions, his deputy,
or Judge Rixford, the attorney at the
pension office, he requested that we be
seated, as neither of the gentlemen
named were in. He soon returned,
however, with Judge Rixford, who is a
native of Vermont and who has held a
position in the pension office for more
than twenty years. He was appointed
from Wisconsin, his adopted state. He
practiced law in Vermont before re-
moving to Wisconsin, and his name
often appears in the Vermont Reports
of the Decisions of the Supre me Court
of years ago. He inquired after Hon.
George Howes and other citizens of
Vermont with whom he had been ac-
quainted. He said he was employed to

The Libby Prison Tunnel.

Major Edwin Dillingham; of the
Tenth Vermont Regiment, who was
killed at the battle of Winchester, Sep
TENDER 10, 1864, was in Libby prison,
Richmond, Virginia, when the tunnel
through which many of the prisoners
escaped was made. 1t was a long tun-
mel, and it took a long time to complete
it, as only one man could work in the
hole at a time, and the work was
done mostly at night. They took turns
in working in the tunnel. Others as
sisted in concealing the earth removed.
Mr.. Dillingham; said that one time
when the roll was called one man was
in the tunnel and his absence was dis
covered. The prison was Immediately
searched, but his whereabouts was not
discovered. 1t was concluded by those
in charge of the prison that he had
made his escape, and the city of Rich
mond was searched, as well as the sur
rounding country. The missing pris-
oner had to remain in the tunnel after
this during the day, for if he answered
at roll-call it would raise a suspicion
that something was wrong. His rations
were furnished him in the tunnel by
his comrades. After the tunnel was
completed and the prisoners had es-
capped there was great commotion in
Richmond, and a large number of citi-
zens visited the prison to see the tun-
mel the " Yanks" made. During this
time two of the prisoners who did not
go out, and whose hair and whiskers
had grown very long, shaved them
selves clean, cut their hair short, put on
citizens clothes, took canes, and
walked out past the guard with the citi-
zens, without being identified, and made
their escape. They were recaptured,
however, a few days later, and re-
turned to Richmond They deceived
the officers, who were about to let them
go as good citizens, when it occurred to
them to take the suspected men to the
prison to see if their comrades would
recognize them. They entered the
prison and the would-be citizens were
sent upstairs, where the prisoners were
AS their heads hove in sight, above the
floor, the prisoners at once exclaimed
" Halloo, John! Halloo, Bill You
have got back, then?" This sealed
their fate, and they had to remain un

represent the commissioner before the
secretary of the interior on pension
cases appealed from the action of the
pension Office. He remarked that he
saw our name very often in such cases.
i" We take a good many appeals to the
secretary of the INTERIOR" we replied.
" Perhaps we should not take appeals
if we knew all that you know. You
have the confidential reports of the ex
aiming surgeons and concentrations
of others that we know nothing Of"
If you knew all we know" remarked
the Judge, "you would take more APP
peals than you do. We have" he con-
tinued, "about fifteen hundred clerks
in the pension Office at work on claims,
and case after case goes through this
office that neither the commissioner or
myself ever see until they are rejected
and come up on an appeal About one
half of the appeal cases are disposed of
by the pension office without decision
from the secretary of the interior.
When we receive notice from the Sec
rotary that an appeal has been filed in
his office, the commissioner has fifteen
days to report, with the evidence in the
claim, to the secretary. l prepare the
report" said the judge, "and go be-
fore the secretary for the commissioner
If the question raised in the appeal is
one of law, l investigate it, and if l
conclude that the appellant is right, 1
so decide, and send word to the secre-
tary that the pension Office will take the
proper action. If / conclude that the
appellant is wrong, then l go before
the secretary, and he decides the mat
ter in dispute. If the question raised
is medical one, | discuss it with the
medical referee of the pension Office in
the light of all the testimony filed in
support of the claim, and if we decide
the appellant is right we give him the
case, and the secretary of the interior
makes no decision. This decision of
ours does not always end the case. The
appellant may be called upon to report
to medical board for another examin-
alton or to furnish additional evidence,
or the pension certificate may issue at
