Confederate Pensions.

Austin, Texas, September 3D.
The available appropriation for
Confederate pensions for the next
six months, 100000, has been
apportioned by the comptroller,
and the amount for the next two
quarters will be 81 40 for each
pensloner per qurater.
The pension roll has just had
461 new names added, making n
total of 1850 pensioners. OF these
there are 20S whose whereabouts
are unknown, the majority of
whom have not been heard from
for a year or more.
In making this apportionment,
the number of missing pensioners
and the death rate are reckoned
on the basis of mortality tables
of the leading life insurance com.
panies.
The comptroller will appreciate
the kindness if county officers
and friends of Confederate pen
sioners will give the Office notice
of the death of any pensioner inn
mediately after such fact has
been ascertalned. The apportion-
ment this time is n decrease of 70
cents over the last quarter.
The following notices are be-
ing mailed to county judges
You are hereby notified that
the affidavit to "proof of service"
in the Confederate army hereto
fore made a part of the applica-
ton blanks furnished by this Of
flee are not considered by me as
sufficient, and not in compliance
with or fufillment OF the inten-
tion and meaning of the law.
Hereafter applications for pen
sions will not be considered as
being in compliance with the law
unless accompanied by the writ
ten testimony of the witnesses,
as taken down by or under the
direction of the county judge or
the county commissioners.
The affidavit now in use as to
Inability of support by labor of
any sort" Is considered sufficient.
Very respectively,
r. M. LOVE, Comptroller.

Youthful Oepravity.

A remarkable instance of youth
ful depravity is reported from Bing-
hamton, n. ", where some boys
in the gallery of theater unscrew-
ed a chandelier so that it crashed
into the orchestra. Fortunately, it
injured no one, but the boys con-
fessed that they had planned to
cause a panic, partly for the sake OF
witnessing the spectacle and partly
for the loot they expected to secure
after it was over.

Cattle Situation.

The National Stockman and
Farmer looks at the situation as
follows: Cattle feeders are con-
fronted with hard problem this
year. With an abundant corn
crop which they wish and ought
to convert into beef and pork
they find feeding cattle far higher
than the probable future of the
market will justify. Good but
not fancy feeders are costing 50
per cwt. or more in the feed lots

Dickens Apology.

Mrs. Alice Meynell talked tc
the Contemporary Club in Lon.
don a week ago, on Dickens, and
told how years after the "Pick.
wick Papers" he met an attractive
young woman named Weller
who upbraided him for having
brought her name into disrepute'
"a rather odd remark, by the
way. But the next day she goi
from Mr.. Dickens these verses:
put n a book once, by hook OF
by crook,
The whole race, as l thought
Of a Teller,
Who happily pleased the towns
taste, much diseased,
And the name of this person
was Weller.
But | found to my cost that one
Weller I'd lost;
Cruel destiny so to arrange it
! love her dear name, which has
won me some fame,
But great heavens how gladly
I'd change it.

The Love Affairs OF the Father of His
Country.

The Love Affairs Of the Father of His
Country.
George Washington's love affairs be-
gan at a very early age, and he was to
the day of his death fond Of the girls"
The first sweetheart was one Mary
Bland, with whom he fell in love when
be was only II years OF age. This Is
ascertaincd from an entry In one OF his
diaries. where hp refers TO her as his
'1owland beauty" Having tired OF
Mary. he wrote TO friend that he had
decided to bury his chaste and trou-
blesome passion" which. having done,
he soon found himself enamored OF
Lucy Cary. a sister-n-law OF Colonel
Fairfax. His affection for this young
lady lasted for some years, being only
interrupted now and again by his nat
ural Virginia passion Of making love
to every pretty girl whom he met.
In 1862 his first serious love affair
was shattered. Having fallen in love
with a certain Miss Betsy Fauntleroy,
he determined to ask her to become his
wife. but the fates had destined him
to marry another, for she rejected his
proposals. He afterward came back
10 her, but found that she had not
changed her mind on that score.
His next heartache was caused by q
girl In New York after he had become
q colonel. She was the helress Mary
PhIllipse. His business called hin

In 1853 at Waynes Ferry, while
travelling TO williamsburg with dis

Of Daniel Park Custis. We learn from
history that she was young, pretty. In
telligent and rich. He had been with
her all Of an afternoon and was to ride
away to his home the next morning.
On his way he stopped at her home
and then and there told OF his love and
asked her TO become his mate for life.
