DEAF VETERANS.

There is no class Of old veterans who have
more reason 10 complain of the injustice of
the Governments pension laws than those
who are suffering from partial OF total deaf
ness. The pension rate for this class of dis
ability is ridiculously low, being but s13 q
month for total deafness. A man who is de-
priyed of his hearing is in many respects in
wolse position than one who has lost a
limb. He is shut out from almost all re-

munerative employments, while the social
infliction is simply terrible. There are very
many professions in which the loss of limb
does not prevent entire success, but there is
hardly walk of life where deaf man can
have anything like an, equality of opportu-
nifty like man who has his hearing. Con-
gress owes it to these men to rectify this
injustice at an early date.

RECENT LITERATURE.

UNCLE DANIELS STORY OF tom" AN
DERSON AND TWENTY GREAT BATTLES.
BY an Officer Of the Union Army. New York:
a. X. Hart * CO., Publishers. 1886.
The readers of THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE
viii remember Uncle Daniel and will be glad to
hear that his story appears now in more lasting
form. It makes an octave volume of 435 pages
with many illustrations. No book Of the sea-
son has attracted more attention than this, not
only on account of the mystery involved in its
authorship. but because il is a thrilling story,
giving under assumed names the secret history
of the war. The names are thinly disguised. so
as to be readily recognized, and rs many Of the
characters are living today, their friends have
naturally read the book with very great relish.
Among other matters treated are the events
connected with the second Bull Run and The
plot to release the rebel prisoners at Chicago,
and to infect New York with yellow fever.
The details Of the plot Matched IN London and
the tragic death Of some Of the chief conspira-
tors by the burning OF the ship on which they
were bringing combGstibIest to fire the Northern
cities, are wildly and truthfully told. Il con-
tains many things worth thinking Of, while
some of the chief actors of them are still
prominent in National affairs.
