A PENSION PROBLEM
Arising Under the Pension Bill Passe
Last June.

Arising Under the Pension Bill Passed
Last June.
Can pensions be granted under the act of
June 27, 1890, for diseases contracted orwounds
received in the Confederate Army? Section
4716, Revised Statutes, states that ''No money
on account of pensions shall be paid to any per-
son who voluntarily engaged in, or
aided or abetted, the late rebellion against the
authority of the United States.' On March 3,
1877, the above section was amended so as to
provide for such persons as afterward volun-
tarily enlisted in the Army of tire United
States and were wounded or contracted any
disease in the line of duty. The amendment
was added in order to provide for six regiments,
known as "United States Volunteer Infantry"
These regiments were composed wholly of Con-
federate prisoners of war, except the officers,
who voluntarily took the oath of allegiance and
enlisted in the Union Army. These regiments
were stationed ON the Western frontier, and
some of them were retained in service as late as
November, 1866. 1t will be noticed that the
amendment to Section 4716 provides for such of
this class as incurred disabilities from wounds
or diseases in the line of duty in the United
States Army. The provisions of the amend
ment never have been applied to the Confed-
crates who enlisted in the United States Navy.
The act of June ~ 1890, grants pensions to
soldiers who served ninety days and are now
disabled from earning support, provided they
were honorably discharged, The officials of the
Pension Office were of the opinion that the act
of June 81 1890, did not include soldiers who
had been in the Confederate service, as the act
is silent in regard to this class of pensioners,
neither does it repeal Section 4716 or wind up
with the usual saving clause, viz; All acts and
parts of acts inconsistent with this act hereby
repealed. The question was referred to Assist
ant Secretary Busy, who decides that claimants
who served in the Confederate Army prior to
enlistment in the United States service are en-
titled under the act of June 81, 1890, and are
placed on the same footing as all other Union
soldiers. Some of the official minds of the
Pension Bureau are bothered TO know what to
do with those that were wounded or contracted
disabilities while in the Confederate service
The only restriction that the act of June 81
1890, makes is that the disabilities must not be
the result of the soldiers own vicious habits
Can the Commissioner of Pensions, under the
present existing laws and the recent decision of
Gen. Busy, refuse to grant pension under the
act of June 27, 1890, for disabilities incurred in
the Confederate Army?

a PANIC I'm THE POLITICAL ME1NAGEISIF.
Horizon which Anmie

prolonged far into the night. Doubtless a kind
of reaction set in with the less temperate, which
extended to the entire company. Yet do not
advocate taking this incident as an example,
for each must be governed in this matter, as in
all others, by the promptings of conscience.
The dispensing of hospitalities on New Years
is of such ancient origin and so pleasant IL fea-
ture Of our social code that | would regret to
see it entirely disappear"
VIEWS FROM THE WHITE HOUSE.
In the absence of Mrs. Harrison called upon
Mrs. Dimmick to learn her views upon the sub
ject. She was reluctant at first, but finally
said: 81 scarcely think my opinion of sufficient
Importance to the public to require an express
sion. To me the fashion is a most attractive
one, especially as it is conducted in Washing
ton, and / do not think it will ever be aban-
doned so long as public levees are held on that
day at the White House and homes of the Cabi-
net In place of such cosmopolitan charac-
ter as Washington the day has charm that is
exclusively its own. For instance, the officers
of the Army and Navy upon that day don their
uniforms for the first and only time during the
year, and so pay their duty calls and enjoy a
social visit with their friends prepared to re-
ceive them.
MRS. HARRIsoN'S TEMPERANCE VIEWS.
Sin regard to wines or Offering of punch" I"
said Mrs. Dimmick, 81 prefer not to express an
opinion, and | would rather have you await
MIS-. darflSOnS return ana consult ner. ] am
confident that the Women's Christian Temper
ance Society would be highly delighted with her
sentiments, and Immediately set her upon q
pedestal in their admiration for her strictly
temperance proclivities. Were it not that she
does not feel herself justified in forcing her
opinions upon Others she would never permit
wines of any kind to be set FORTH even upon the
occasion of dinner party. She has, however,
never opposed the time-honored custom of dis
pensing wines at all official entertainments, or
publicly discussed the point. AS for myself, L
think that circumstances should invariably gov
ern the cases. | am aware that the habit of
taking wine has been sadly abused in more
cities than Washington, yet / think it should
be optional with the host or hostess, and so long
as the President must pay for his public as well
as private dinners so long should the question
of wines be left to his individual choice and not
made matter of eompulsion. Still, as was
experienced in the administration of President
Hayes, an innovation would prove a source of
widespread comment and much adverse criti-
cism.
GAS to the wearing of dress coats by gentle
men, concluded Mrs. Dimmick, ''although the
rule is a most decided one against such breach
of etiquette during a MONDAY call, yet in a
place like Washington there is so much license
allowed in regard to dress that it would seem to
influence even question of this significance"
MRS. SECRETARY WINDOWS IDEAS.
Mrs. Window, the wife of the Secretary, said:

A FOX CHASE IN VIRGINIA.
Members of the Woody Hunt Club Enjoy
Some Fine Snort.

vi
Some Fine Sport.
An invitation from Mr.. John Mosely Worster,
of Fairfax Courthouse, to the members of the
Woody Hunt Club to join in fox chase on
Christmas Eve was accepted by the following
members of the club: Messrs. }. Ford Thomp-
son, Jr, II. W. Carpenter Charles II. II.
Thomas Gustav Frebus, Raphael Casilear, and
Charles Hume. The party were accompanied
by Mr.. James McElhone, Reynolds Nicholson,
and w. p. Metcalf. Aftera good nights rest
readiness for the chase by o'clock Christmas
by the host was pronounced by all a success,
for but short time was consumed in getting up
a fox, which proved to be a red one, which was
run to his hole after an exciting chase. The
loss of the first one only proved to increase the
the interest, and great desire that another
should endeavor to save his brush by scurryng
away to his hole.
Shortly after the first chase large gray fox
was discovered and away he Went with a pack
of eager hounds and huntsmen after him. Over
q course of several miles and many stiff jumps
of stone hedges the object of the chase was run
down, and then the chase in by the riders for
the brush was as exciting as one could wish.
Between Mr.. Carpenter and Mr. Thompson the
brush was to fall, unless stumble or a swerve
by their respective hunters, but the first in was
Mr. Carpenter, with Mr.. Thompson close up.
Mr.. Carpenter secured the brush, which now
hangs upon the walls of Woodey Hunt. The
entire party were afterwards royalty enter
tanned. 1t is quite likely that chase will be
gotten up for New Years Day.

Worthy of a Wag.
Spare Moments.

squire MOmeuIS'
gentleman who has something of a reputa-
tion as wag was passing large draper's shop,
There drawn up were three or four vehicles, and
among them was closed brougham with the
driver fast asleep on the box. Evidently the
mistress was inside the shop. Without word
the wag stole quickly up, and opening the car
riage door carefully, slammed it to, In mo-
ment the coachman Strengthened up and gazed
down the street at the electric light which was
fixed there as if he had never seen anything so
interesting in his life. Then he stole look
over his shoulder and saw the wag standing, hat
in hand, apparently talking to some one inside
the carriage. "Thank you; yes, good day." said
the wag, and bowed himself gracefully away
from the door, turning as he did so to look at
the driver and say, "Homel" eyes, sir tch
get up ln and off went the brougham "home."
Where that ''home" was, who the mistress of
the carriage was, or what she did when she came
out of the shop, or what the coachman did when
he stopped at the door of the "home'' and found
the carriage empty-all that only the eoaehman
and lady know.

A Simple Engagement Ring the
IhinE Now.
Illustrated American.

IIIuStrAteu AnlerlCan.
The day of the huge and brutal solitaire
diamond in an engagement ring is over. Men
will continue to offer them to their fances,
but if girl wants to be very, very correct she
must say ~ prefer something extremely
simple-a true lovers knot in very small dia-
monds, or diamonds and cats eyes, or diamonds
and rubies, but it must be simple and mex
pensve." There are numerous good reasons
for this, the chief of which is the vulgarizing of
the solitaire diamond in every possible way.
The first thing woman of vulgar taste buys is
big diamond ring and solitaire earrings, but
the "corect" girl eschews earrings altogether,
and for ring prefers something ineonspicuous
and unique. A tiny true lovers knot is the thing
or little heart set around with small stones
Pearls are beautiful, but not advisable for
rings, as the action of water ruins them
