General Garfield made a big mis take when he predicted that t he pen sioners would gradually die and thus diminish theii number. On the con trary, their ranks are swelling rap idly every year, and since 1878 num erous bounty jumpers and ot her de serters have been permitted' to draw pensions and have their" names re corded on what should be u roll of honor. The Baltimore Sun gives the following facts : One-third of the federal army de serted during the civil war, accord ing to the figures collated by the New York Times, and owing to leg islation secured since 167 in then interest many thousands oi the le serters are now enjoying wiug pen sions. On March 31, 1665, tuere were 322,339 umou Soldiers mwm.v from their commands, and 03 7.74 4 were present.

Others have gotten there ow intr to a lax administration of the laws, so that, upon the whole, the pension list has ceased to be what it Was "a roil of honor." Atlanta Constitution. new act has been added to the little drama. Li the introduction of Mrs. Dalton the game may be considered to -have assumed at last its perfect form. Theie is nothirg uiore to put to it, exceptperhapsa final tableau showing inourniug draped along the streets of Kingfisher. It is to be hoped that Kingfisher will not take Mrs. Daltou's telegram too seriously.- Bill will ride many another raid under the blue skies of Oklahoma and go many another time down to death before he joins the church and retires from business. The Dalton game combiues t he spice of excitement with perfect harmless n ess and is too good to be dropped. 13 ii rial o (N. Y.) Express.

It must be said in Bill's favor, that he stands killing better than any other man alive ; and that he ha a good heart, or he would not allow thef deputy marshals to carry on at his expeuse m the way they do. For the sake of variety, probably, the style of Bill's killing this tune was somewhat different fiom the or dinary. Bill was on the run when he was shot. "Two jumps in the air were the only LuOtious he made, says the dispatch ai.nouucing his death. "His pistol fell from hw hand and he sank to the ground." Then Close Hart, the deputy marshal who shot him, "rail up and asked him what he was doing there.' But Bill wag Close-harted ''He was too near dead to reply, and expired without a word," and thus the natural cunos ,frrf thrt marshal aa to why Bill should be lying on the ground was destined never to be satisfied. wti-h-r inr rpstinir vriation from AUVVUV.

They do sav t hat it uas one of the Senator's jokes that made Mr. Gorman sick, tie was suffering from a congested liver and it is argued that there is an affinity between livers and jokes- If the al leged joke was accurately reproduc ed in the public prints, I must con fess that I think the diagnosis of Senator Gorman's ailment the cor rect one.
