An Examiner of I'eii-ions t;ives the fol
low ino hints coneeininu' applications for
pen-ions that may heofu-e to old sol
diers: Now iu oli:iiiiin-r pensions all tin- ttov
eriinienl wants are the facts, simple plain
facts, and then there is no troiihle. If a
man can prove that he is sulTerim; from a
disability contracted in the army, and
while on duly, he will oi l a pension with
out any trundle, lie may have pi f, say
of two persons, one perhaps in California,
another may he in Maine, No matter
where they an-we oo and see thclu ami
oct their statements. The government
irives a man all the opportunity iu the
world to e-talilish the fact that he is en
titled to a pension. Tin- claimant is not
rcipiired to on to any cpen-e whatever,
dut tin- government stands it all. All
that is necessary is simply to prove that
it is tleserviiio of a pension. Sometimes
a man applies for a pension dut thai docs
not ;;ivo any proof other than his ow n as
sertion. Now we may helieve every
word he says, Imt cannot ".'rant his claim,
simply dceau-e then- is ilo h-oal proof.
Perhaps the pi-r-ons whom hi- knew he
could prove it hy, ale dead or lioliody
knows where, con-eiiiciitly his claim is
rejected. Itut this docs not necessarily
eml the mailer, as t lie claimant may ac
cident. iliy st iimhle on some proof that he
knew nolhiiio ad.-ut, and send to Wash
ington and revive his claim. On the
i. tin r hand, a man may a i rt that lie
contracted i liciiiiinl i-tu on the l:!lh day
..r I . c inder, sii:S. We will "o to him
ami lake his full - laid, n ut, ami tin n a-k,
"Can ymi prove this;" "Oh, yes," he
will answer, and then we will a-k him

From an account of "Life on the Ala

cvt -ry t liitiir ship-shape and left Cherboiiri;
for our last cruise on a bright Sunday
moriiiiiu', June I'.Mh. Wo w. re escorted
by a French armored vessel, ami when
w e out oulside we collhl see the Kenrsai-oe
awailino us, about four miles away.
Captain Semmes niade us a short speech
which was well received, lhoio if seemed

:i i i 1 1 1 : 1 1 1 him In liht the speaker's own
couiitryinen, lint we eheeretl, and the
French ship leaving lis, we steamed

tloiiht that Semmes was flurried and com
ineneeil tiritij; too soon. We were, I
should say, nearly a mile away, ami I do
imt think a single shot told. The enemy
circled around us and did not return our
tire until within seven or ciht hundred
yards and then she let us have it. The
first shot that struck us made the ship
reel and shake all ovi r. I was sen ino on

'What is wrono with the rill"-:run:' was

came the cra-li of tlt' heavy shell of
the Yankee. One inis-ih-that seemed as
lu-j as a haystack w hied over our heads,
takiiiy; a section of the port bulwarks

was hamllino shot. Id- only remarked
that In- delieved the Yankee was lirino

tliiiner, oroat exertions are made to od
tain the out: nect ary t i make up the
nriu'imd number, and many ladies accept
short invitations in order to help th. ir
friends out of their dilemma. When the
one desired cannot be found, it is often
convenient for a member of the family to
he indisposed. This, of course, makes
the number of diners even, but it is
doiihtlul if it prevents any of them from
