Cen. Baker has just returned from

waukee. lie relates a rather peculiar
lie was invited by a
friend 10 take ride on the lake in a
revenue cutter that was lying in the har-
Dor. When the general went aboard he
found there the present commissioner of
pensions, Corporal Tanner, and eX-Com-
mlssiOners Dudley and Black. AS the
general was for four years commissioner
of pensions himself, he made up an in
tcreStIng party of four gentlemen who,
under different administration, have
held the same important position at
Washington. They had all been invited
by different persons to take in the sail,
and the meeting was entirely unexpect-
ed. The gentlemen, as the general eX-
pressed it, had "a grand time" together.
They found much Of common interest to
converse about, and it Is safe to say that
the affairs OF the pension bureau were
never more extensively or more intel
ligenllv discussed. when | was COM
