The Naval Veterans.

Rear Admiral Daniel +. Kelley in a
recent General Order deals with the
pension question as far as it regards
those who saw service in the L. S.
Navy. In part he says: "a crusade
is being started against pension frauds,
and it is urged that the names of all pen
sioners be published. All honorable ship
mates and comrades will lie glad to have
such publication. Ii is believed by some
people that many are fraudulent There
may be some, but | doubt if there are
many; if one is known To any shipmate I
desire that he will send the information to
these Headquarters and viii Immediately
notify the Commissioner of Pensions Of the
fact.
1T does not appear 10 be known to the
public and many of the officials in Wash
ington that the naval pensions are paid
from the interest OF a portion of the prize
money captured by shipmates. The Naval
Pension Fund has been honestly earned
from the time of the organization of the
Navy, and surely belongs To them. and is
held in trust for their benefit. 1t does not
come from the taxes levied upon our fellow
citizens. The shipmates should dissent
nate their information throughout the
country. Truly the Naval pension list is
roll of honor"

4 MEXICAN ADVENTURE.
When the 28th Ill. Lay in Camp
Opposite Bagdad.

Editor National Tribune: / should like to
tell you of the experience of myself and
Captain of our command with the
" Greasers - on the border of Mexico.
Early in the Summer OF 1868, Just after
arriving in Texas from Mobile, Ala, we
went into camp opposite Bagdad, Mexico
near the mouth of the Rio Grande. Orders
were issued that no enlisted man should
cross the river without pass from the
Comma nding General. A strict guard was
kept on the river bank, but the prlvateS
would get across somehow.
One day Captain and l crossed to Bag
dad. After getting nearly up into the town
we saw three of our men coming towards
the river. One of them was intoxicated,
and the other two were endeavoring to get
him to camp, but three of the Mexican
police came up and wanted to arrest the
man.
We quickened our steps, arriving about
the same time the police did. They
seized the man to take h m from his COM
rades but the Captain took hold of the
man and placed him in charge of his COM
rtdcS and sent them across to camp.
We STOOD where we could see that they
would crCsS tie river without being inter
fered with again: in the meantime the
IOli-e had gone back to town. After we
saw our men safely landed, we proceeded
on our way up to the city.
We were met by those same police, and
pldcSu ulfner arrest. VIC quietly d,co
panied them to the Alcalde's office, which
was in the second story of an adobe build
ing. The police told some story to the
Alcaldc in Mex can language and went cut.
He was sitting at a table busily writing,
but after we had been standing there
little while he walked over to the Captain
and Eegan searching him.
The Captain vas surprised at his
cheek - in searching n Tn ted states
officer. So he gently pushed the Alcalde
back, but he came aga; and the Captain
gave him Il little harcer push, and upon
his third attempt 10 search the CAPTAINS
pockets he sent the gentleman back against
the wall in a way that made his teeth

Liucoln Monument League.

The Lincoln Monument League, organ
lied by the Grand Army and Sons of
Veterans, OF California, is taking on Ma
tional proportions. The success attending
the school celebrations Of LincOln's Birth
day in California and other States has
developed the very general desire that the
day shall be added to our legal National
holidays. To bring this about is one pur-
pose OF the Lincoln League and the circu-
lation Of petitions, under other auspices,
they hold to be an added expression TO the
views they advocate. They propose, how
ever, to so shape National legislation as to
make it obligatory upon schools to hold a
halliday session, for the celebration of
Lincoln Day along educational lines. The
general work is under the direction of Com
rade w. w. Stone, Special Aid to the Com
struction in the public schools of Cali
fornia and Nevada and President of the

The A1calde reached back on his table,

paper-weight, and struck the Captain on

Captain was locked up in the jail, which

When | reached the river I found our

opposite bank, awaiting orders 10 cross.
The boys had watched us until they had
seen Us arrested by the police; but, of
