THE BIGGEST PENSION.
1t Is S95,OOO a Year, and England
Pays 1t.


Pays 1t.
From the Army and Navy Journal
The biggest annual pension that is paid
in any part of the world is $4,000. The
Duke Of Richmond is the recipient and he
has never moved finger or leg to ac-
quire this vast annuity, which is per-
petual. passing from son to son, for no
other reason than that the first Duke OF
Portland had a pull with Charles II.
In 1876 Charles II granted the Duke of
Portland a pension of f19,OOO a year, in
perpetuity, in lieu Of a duty of l shilling a
caldron on all Goals exported from the
Tyne. Up to 1879 the family had received
as proceeds Of the duty upward of f2.OOO,-
OCO, and in July, 1799, the duty was
commuted for an annual payment in per-
petuity of $4,000 a year from the con-
solidated fund. AS security for it's pay
ment consols to the value of f633::s; 39:33 IS Sd
were purchased. In the following year
f4S5. .434 Is I'd worth of these consols were
Sold and the proceeds invested in land
and during the present reign the remand
er of the cOnsoiS We're sold and the pro-
ceeds similarly invested.
Taking the annual payment on account
of pensions at the present time Earl Mel
son is in receipt Of the highest outside the
royal annuities. viz, 5000 per annum
payable In perpetuity to all and every one
of the heirs male to whom the title Of
Earl Nelson shall descend.
The Duke of Wellington annual pen
sion of $4,000 is for life. and Lord Rod
ney's pension of $1,000 is. like that of Earl
Nelson, perpetual. The amount of royal
annuities, excluding the queens grant of
5000. is f173,OOO, and, counting the PEN
sions for naval and military services,
f27, 100; political and civil, S.Os6: judicial,
fI0, I05, besides large number. of mis-
cellaneous pensions; the total comes to
f31675S yearly. The largest pension on
retiring from office is the $1,000 a year
given to retiring lord chancellors.

came in and took seat at a table to
write.
He looked up with some expression of
animation and remarked: More of Grant's 8
luck! This was allIsion to the news
paper critics who had been in the habit
of calling his success luck. Then he ex-
claimed. without addressing any one par
ticularly. Now for Mexico He was a
strong believer in the Monroe doctrine, and
the affairs beyond the Rio Grande were
then quite threatening to the neighboring
republic. This little comment on the sur
render of Lee was the only word of ex-
ultation ! ever heard from the victorious
soldier. 1t was very slight expression Of
triumph to follow such stupendous
achievement
