suppose IL viii not be denied that many
claims for pension are made without merit, and
that many have beon allowed upon fraudulent
representations This has been declared from
the Pension Bureau, not only in this but in prior
administrations. The usefulness and tho justice
of any system for the distribution of pensions
de- end upon the equality and uniformity OF its
operation. 1t will be seen from the report OF tho
Commissioner that there are now paid by tho
Government 13l different rates OF pension.

Information he can obtain, that y, 90 OF those
who have served in the army and navy OF the
Unit d States arc now supported in whole oc In
part from public funds or by organized chart
ties, exclusive of those in soldiers homes under
the direction and control OF the Government.
Only - Per cent. of these are pensioners, while,
OF the entire number Of men furnished for tn
late war, something like 20 per cent, including
their widows and relatives, have been or now
are in the receipt Of pensions.
The American people, with patriotic and
grateful regard for our ex-soldiers, too broad
and too sacred TO be monopolized by any special

"A Flag Which Has a History.

As the stream Of visitors pours every
day into the treasury, writes a CORE,
spondent to the Atlanta Constitution,
not one In hundred stops at the mar
row room which is the headquarters
of the captain OF the watch. [ had
been through the building fifty times
before I saw theinterior of that room
One day its keeper said to me:
''Did you ever see my fag?"
On being told that [ had not, he
took me into plainly furnished room,
whose only ornament is a silk United
States flag, protected in a glass frame.
That was the flag with which the
presidents box was hung on the night
Of his murder by the mad assassin
Booth shot Lincoln from the rear and
then leaped on the stage to make his
sickening proclamation of ''Sic Semper
Tyrannis." AS he jumped from the
box his spur caught in this flag and
made q rent Of several inches.
During the war Gen. Phil Cook, of
Georgia, pushed q brigade almost to
the gates of Washington, and had the
honor OF leading the only Confeder ate
force that ever fought IN the District
of Columbia. 1t was out at Frazier
farm, on the Baltimore & Ohio Rail
road, and Gen. Cook says that the
dome of the capitol was clearly visible
to his men as Jhey fought.
1t was to meet this raid that regi-
ment was formed out of the employees
of the various departments in Wash
ington. The city was full of Southern
sympathizers, but a large number of
ladies contributed to the purchase OF
a beautiful flag for the tHome Guard. !"
They bore it into enc or two battles,
but 1T seems that it was never in any
lively quarters, as it was perfect when
Manager Ford borrowed it to drape
the presidents box on the night of his
assassination. It is now growing vel
low with age, but it is preserved as
one of therelics of our civil revolution,
as thrilling testimonial OF one Of the
maddest acts ever perpetrated by a
frenzied mortal.

Absent-Minded.

A Chicago gentleman, discoursing on
absent minded people, remarked that
his wife was the most careful and level
headed women in the world, but one
night recently they both dressed very
carefully to attend a large party, be.
ing anxious, for special reasons, to ap-
pear well.
"My wife," he said, twas greatly
concerned about me, as | am the alb
sent minded member Of the family,
and looked me over critically and
carefully after [ left the courtroom and
before [ went down stairs. She was
herself all right, of course, and was su-
perbly dressed. We went down IN
high feather, and had passed through
the parlors and spent delightful nall
hour On parade duty, as it were, when
my wife suddenly turned pale, in what
[ thought was afainting fiji. [ hurried
her from the room, and was about to
turn the house upside down for restor-
atives, when she clutched my sleeve,
and pointed to her feet. She had, be-
fore leaving home, drawn over her
shoes a pair of my socks, and had for
gotten to remove them. The thought
that she had been parading before
three hundred people with those socks
on was too much for her."

A breath of balm of orange blooml

Through the lone starlight of the room?
And suddenly seemed to see
Inc long. low vale, with tawny edge
OF hills, within the sunset glow;
Cool vine-rows through the cactus hedge,
And futtering CLEANS OF orchard show.
Far off. the slender line of white
Against the blue of ocean crest;
The slow sun sinking into night,
A quivering opal in the West.
Somewhere a stream sings, far away;
Somewhere from out the hidden groves,
And dreamy as the dying day,
Comes the softrcoo of mourning doves.
One moment all the world is peace
The years like clouds are rolled away,
And | am on those sunny leas,

MEN WHO WEAR DIAMONDS.

Anecdotes of Notable Lovers of Bril-
 lIants i'm New York and Elsewhere.
 From the New York Sum-
 Diamonds have their lovers among men as we'll as among women. When men get the diamond fever, however, they are apt to be much more vulgar and persistent in the mat ter of display than women. The latter are not infrequently keen judges of values and we'll informed on everything pertaining to their jewels, but are also imbued with a good deal of the same spirit as that which inspires all collectors of rare and beautiful objects of art While it seems eminently proper for women to indulge their fancy for the beautiful brilliants, men who wear many diamonds are usually the objects oezz10re or less ridicule. When man indulges in dia- monds he has but one apparent ambition to wear as big and as many stones as his purse will buy. The jealousy of one dia- mond loving man of another diamond loving man is bitter and open.
 The writer was once 8 witness to the first meeting of MT. Pony Moore of the famous Moore 6 Burgess minstrels of London and MT. Charley Davis, well-known American theatrical manager. Both men are known everywhere for their elaborate display of dia- monds. MT. Davis had just arrived in town, and he stood leaning carelessly against the end of the Morton House bar, with the light scintillating about him and jumping in bril- liant flashes from ring to stud and back again. Dozens of magnificent stones were on exhibition upon Mr. Davis' prosperous looking exterior, and he had not been in po- sition long before scores of hungry eyes be- longing to the walking gentlemen and de- pressed tragedians on the sidewalk were peering through the windows. MT. Davis stood there brilliant spectacular object fol
