MEN VINO MERIT PENSIONS.

The Commissioner of Pensions has
had number of tables constructed
with view to set forth the facts of the
late war, and the figures of these tables
are not only instructive, but intensely
interesting. The official lists of the
War Department show that the number
of deaths in battle on the Union side,
and from wounds and disease, was
364, ZIG, and that %, ,2S4 of those who
had been discharged died prior to
July l, 1865, making a total of
$50 400.
it is estimated that 1850, 900 Union
veterans are now living. Comparing
the records of the Pension Office with
The accepted American life tables, It is
shown that more than one third of these
survivors of the war have, by reason of
their service, shortened their lives by at
least dozen years. That is, more than
every third man of the whole number
of veterans now alive will be deprived
Of twelve years of his life through hard
Hhipo NhuhlNA III AhO Adlu 5Ao III
which he took part,
Now it stands to reason that. if these
figures are correct, the men who served
in the civil war and whose lives are
abridged because of that service, are
as deserving of pensions as those whose
disability or disease is directly trace
able to the casualties Of war. Every
precaution should be taken to keep the
Government from being imposed upon
by fraudulent claims But after that
is done there is no good reason for neg
lecting the $4,000 veterans whom
General Raums tables show to be cur
tailed of life on account Of services
rendered In behalf Of the Union. 1t is
correct principle that no undeserying
person should get a pension. But the
principle is also correct that every man

My DEAR DIR. LIGHTHILL:
1t gives me great pleasure to state
that you effected a remarkable cure Of
deafness and discharge from the ears in
the case of my cousin, Marcus G.
Roessle, and that the cure has proved as
permanent as it was radical. feel sure
that without your skillful aid my cousin
would have been a deaf man all his

you have been equally successful, I
cheerfully give you leave to refer to me
at any time, and hope that your prac-
tice in Washington will prove distin-
guished success.
Yours, truly, T. E. RoEssLE.
