Washington Letter in Boston Transcript.
Miss Garfield, after her return from her we'd
ding trip TO Europe, will live in Washington,
with her husband. Mr.. Stanley Brown. 1t will
be remembered that he was President Gar6elds
private secretary. Unless Mrs. Garfield has
lately sold it, she still owns the comfortable
double brick-house at the corner of Thirteenth
and l streets. built by General Garfield during
the latter part of his term in Congress. It has
. large yard for a city house, and one Of the
commonest sights Of the neighborhood was
General Garfield romping with his boys in the
little green inclosure. The house was shut mp
for some years-tbe tide of fashion flowed be-
yond it-and is had even a more melancholy and
deserted look thar vacant houses usually have.
Miss Garfield is entirely unknown in Washing
ton. She was only twelve or thirteen when she
left, and her childish friends and companions
belonged to that changing political and official
circle that vanishes like rime in the morning

Washington Dispatch in Boston Traveller.
The replies of the war and navy departments
to the Reagan resolution concerning the cost.
ETC., of the retired list since tho creation OF the
two services will probably reach the Senate the
latter part Of next week. The answers will
show that some snug little fortunes have been
received by disabled veterans. The highest
amount paid to any retired officer now living is
$l04, 900, paid to Gea. J.. G. Robinson. Gen.
Ricketts,, at the time Of his death q year ago,
had received nearly this amount. Gen. Sher-
man, although only retired four years ago, mas
received nearly $50, 600 as retired pay and al
lowsnces. There are officers still living who
we're retired in 1861, the year the retired lists
were established. but as none of them are above
the rank of major their pay is not so large as in
other cases where the high rank makes up for
the shorter periods of retired service. Rear-ad-
miral Selfridge has received more retired pay
than any other navy officer. Since his retire.
msnt in 1866 be has received in round numbers
about 500. 900. The aggregate cost OF the two
services, it 10 believed will foot up at least $50,
600. 600.

the House purports to make the total amount
over 5000. 900 less than in the bill of last year.
But the apparent reduction has been made by
transferring to the pension bill items usually

why tho War Was Fought

From Cumback's Memorial Day Address
The war was not begun to free the slave. IN
that case the fight would have been for human
ity. The war was commenced by the Southern
Shareholders to perfect their title to human
flesh and 1t was resisted by the North TO perfect
the title OF the American people to an undivided
Union of States. So the lives sacrificed were
the lives of patriots, freely offered in the name
of patriotism.
