Interesting Decision by the Assistant Sec
retary of the Interior in n LonE-Pend-
ing Pension Case.
WASHINGTON, Nov. %. Assistant Sec
rotary Bussey, of the Interior Depart
ment, has overruled the action of Com
missioner Raum in rejecting the claim
of Minerva A. Ross, widow of Patrick
Ross, of Belleville, ILL.,, for a pension.
This case has been pending for twenty
five years. The records of the office
show that the soldier was wounded in
1862, and a pension was granted him
from the date of his discharge. In Feb
ruary, 1864, he surrendered his pension
and was enrolled us a veteran recruit to
serve three years. On April 5, 1864, he
went home on sick furlough, and on
April s he was killed by young man Of
decided Confederate sympathy.
In overruling the action of Commits
sioner Raum, General Bussey says that,
accepting that the soldier was away
from his regiment on sick leave; that
he was actually engaged in soliciting
recruits las shown by the testimony
taken in the case) during such time, and
as result thereof was killed, without
fault or reasonable provocation on his
part, his death was by reason of cause
which was due to the service and his
widow is entitled to pension.

There is nothing dearer to a darkys
heart than good rhythm to which he
can keep in time the movement of his
feet The rousters on the levee are
seized with wonderful nervousness in
their feet when one of them suddenly
starts up with an accented verse. The

along the levee yesterday, thinking Of
the days when he wasn't making $50 a
month with four meals day. The

pared with what it was seemed to amusa
him hugely, and he broke out:
