EDITOR NATIosAL TRIBUNE: have OBJ
served with interest your papers advocacy
Of just pension laws, and, with The veterans
of the West generally, | appreciate your
patriotic labors. There is one class of pen-
sioners, however, which receives little atten-
ton, and yet their rating is the most made
quate of all who have claims upon the Gov
ernmenf. j refer TO pensioners who have
lost limbs. For some inscrntable reason the
rating for this class has always been fixed
by Congress. in their wisdom and patriot
ism the National Lawmakers first fixed the
rating for the loss of leg above the knee
at The munificent figure of So per month
Next, they were influenced to raise the
amount to S15 per month; then, reluctantly,
to $lS. Afterward, by some unaccountable
and benign occult influence, the rating was
made S24; and finally, in burst of over
whelming patriotism, it was decreed that
the man who had hobbled on one leg for a
quarter of q century was entitled TO $50 per
month.
Now, the strange thing in this history of
the one-legged pepsioner is the arithmetical
progression Of his actual loss and Just de-
serts, and also of the ascending evolution of
the sense of justice on the part of Congress-
The disability was the same when he was
Durne lIom Inc DaIIleHeIu lDat III IS now.
But legs have risen gradually in value A
good fnll-length leg was worth only So per
month in 1865. Now it is worth $36.
i have been watching the leg market
closely in the Congressional Record, hopeful
that it would be bulled" again this session.
Early in the session Senator Palmer intro
duced bill in the Senate to raise the leg
valuation another peg" and put the rating
at $50 per month. 1t was reported that the
House Committee on Pensions had also
agreed to similar bill and reported il IA
vorably, but of late there is no news
Testing aside, the pensioner who suffers
the loss of limb is the most inadequateIy
rated of any on the rolls. Their rating is
simply in6nitesimal as compared with the
majority. Imagine the monstrous injustice
of paying some rich widow of a General $50,
S75 and 500 per month by special act, while
these men drag through life on one foot suf-
fering the excrnciating neuralgic tortures
which surely accompany the dismembered
body. III the men who fix these ratings
could realize, to a very small degree, the
facts of terrible loss and suffering Of these
pensioners, there would be no occasion TO
ask justice Mt their hands.--S. A. MARINE

swell, and all her keel seemed to rest on
the rock or sand. At no time did the
sea break over the deck; but the water
below drove all the people up to the
main deck and to the promenade-deck,
and thus we remained for about three
hours, when daylight came but there
was fog so thick that nothing but wa
ter could be seen. The Captain caused
a boat to be carefully lowered, put in
her a trustworthy officer with boat
compass, and we saw her depart into the
fog. During her absence the ships bell
was kept tolling. Then the fires were
all out, the ship full of water, and grad
ually breaking up, wriggling with every
swell like willow basket, the sea all
around us full of the floating frag-
ments of her sheeting. twisted and
torn into a spongy condition. In
less than an hour the boat re-
turned, saying that the beach
was quite near, not more than a mile
away, and had good place for landing.
All the boats were then carefully low
cred, and manned by crews belonging to
the ship; a piece of the gangway, on
the leeward side, was cut away, and all
the women, and few of the worst
scared men, were lowered into the boats,
which pulled for shore. In a compara-
lively short time the boats returned,
took new loads, and the debarkation was
afterward carried ON quietly and syste-
matically. No baggage was allowed to

ried in the hands of passengers. At
times the fog lifted 50 that we could see
from the wreck the tops of the hills, and
the outline of the shore; and | re-
member sitting on the upper Or hurri-
cane-deck with the Captain, who had his
maps and compass before him, and was
trying to make out where the ship was.
l thought | recognized the outline of
the hills below the mission of Dolores,
and so stated to him but he called my
attention to the fact that the general
line of hills bore northwest, whereas the
coast south of San Francisco bears due
north and south. He therefore con-
cluded that the ship had oyerrun her
reckoning, and.was then to the north of
San Francisco. He also explained that,
the passage up being longer than usual,
VIZ, Is days. the coal was short; that at
the time the fremen were usino some
cut-up spars along with the slack of coal,
and that this fuel had made more than
usual steam, 50 that the ship must have
glided along faster than reckoned. This
proved the actual case, for, in fact, the
steamship Lewis was wrecked April 9,
1853, OH Duckworth Reef" Bolinas
Bay, about Is miles above the entrance
to San Francisco.

When the rebels saw his force NOV
