THE SURVIVORS OF THE WAR
Two-Thirds Of Them Already on the
Pension Rolls Their Expectation
of Life.

Ii is some years since we last heard that
George Washington favorite body servant
was still living at green old age, or that
the only survivor of Yorktown had Just
passed away, but early in the present gen
Grafton these announcements were not -un
common. As time passed, however, and
the end Of the nineteenth century APP
preached, such items of news begin TO be
received with good deal of wonder and
skepticisM, and there was suspicion that
these ancient survivors Of bygone glories
were mainly spurious, yet the survival Of
one Of Washington S younger servants as
late as 1880 need not have been surpris-
ing. 1t would not have been impossible,
or eyes am extraordinary thing. Probably
the time will come, deep in the next cen
tury, when the last survivor of the great
ciyA war will be just as fetching an in
diyidual with curious people, as news
quantity, as Washington tenacious body
servant or the Revolutionary survivors has
been with the same sort in oar own time.
That the last Union soldier in the war
OF lOO1- OJ ID W NC d StoyVA5 C>POSA7
ally the one who draws a pension, is
demonstrated by some recent longevity
statistics compiled by Col. F. c. Aims
werth of the War Department, with regard
to proposed pension law. Col. Ainsworth
has made study of this sort of statistics
in the last few years, and has come to be
accepted as an authority by Congress on all
such questions His statistics showing APP
proximately the number of soldiers that
fought for the Union, the estimated num-
Der of survivors now, and the probable
survivors at stated future periods until the
last one of the heroes has expired, are not
only interesting but also very instructive.
1t is estimated that, excluding deserters,
the Union survivors of the war now, 1897,
number 095, 629, and that not until the
year 1915 will the last one Of the veterans
have disappeared. In 1915 eighty years
will have elapsed since the close Of the
war, and if by any strange peradventure
there still be a survivor at that remote date
he must necessarily be at the last ealcula-
ton hundred years old The very young
est survivors, the drummer boys, are now
fifty years old and upward
One of Col. Ainsworth's tables shows
the probable survivors of the war of the
rebellion on June 30 of each stated year
as follows:
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1897-05-15

In view Of the ever present question OF
pensions and the earnest efforts of many in
flueatial people to have all surviving sol
diers of the war at once placed on the
pension rolls, the magnitude of these sur
viving numbers thirty two years after the
close Of the war is startling. There is
very general impression that the ex-sol-
diers Of the war, by reason of the exposure
and hardships they suffered, are more or
less broken in health, and are hence more
subject to the approach Of disease and
deaeh than the average man who was not
a ssl@isr This view is encouraged and
coumeaanced by the ex-soldiers themselves,
largely from vanity, to exaggerate the i'm
portance of their services to the Govern
mont

THE BoYLEss TOWN.
Robert GARRISON Tongue, III s. Nicholas.

4 cross old woman OF longago
Declared that she hated naise
The town wonld be 50 pleasant, you know,
IfonIy there We're no boys"
She scolded and fretted about it till
Her eyes grew heavy as lead,
AID then, Of a sudden, the town grew still,
For all the boys had fed
And all through the long and dusty street
There wasn't a boy in view;
The baseball lot where they used to meet
Was sight to make one blue.
HE grass was growing on every base,
And the paths that the runners made;
For there wasn't a soul in all the place
Wko knew how the game was played.
The dogs were sleeping the livelong day
why should they bark or leap2
There wasn't whistle or call to play.
And so they could only sleep.
The pony Weighed from his lonely stall,
And longed for saddle and rein;
And even the birds on the garden wall
Chirped only a duh refrain.
The cherries rotted and went to waste
There was no one to climb the trees;
And nobody had single taste,
Save only the birds and bees.
There wasn't messenger boy-not one
To speed as such messengers can;
Ifpeople wanted their errands done,
They sent for a messenger-man.
There was little, ween, of frolic and noise;
There was less Of cheer and mirth;
The sad old town, since it lacked its boys.
Was the drsariest place ON earth.
The poor old woman began to weep;
Then woke with a sudden scream;
Dear me p she cried; II have been asleep;
And, oh, what horrid dream
