If for instance ho has lost tho siuht of an eye (which would give him a 12 pension if it had been lost iu the service) ho will get nothing at all under the new- law, unless ho shows by proof that this disability has actually prevent ed him from earning a living by manual labor. All cases now pending that do not como up to tho requirements of "Ruling No. 1' will bo rejected. Thero must be one material disabil ity, rated at ., or more, in order to make a claimant peiisionablo t and even a rating may bo rejected. The ineu w ho are drawing Si and ?H under tho new law, and who have applied for an increase will be struck first. When the increase claim comes up fur adjudication, if it- ap pears that the total has been mado up by adding together small ratings, the pensioner will be dropped. A board of revision composed of '-. expert examiners is at work over hauling the admitted cases, and iu lue time about one-lnilf .f tin. men pensioned under the new law dur ing General Katun's administration will be dropped unless in the mean time some political convulsion com pels a change of policy.

Ks,,., f more, .Md., Lite of the reunion l!u rcau called at the olliee of the L,nl , being an old-timo friend of the editor. On June . "in his commission as a Special Kxaminer expired, and tho new Secretary of the Interior did not see lit to reappoint him. In tact, nearly all the Special Examin ers appointed during the udniinstrat ion of President Arthur were drop ped, because they were supposed to be Republicans. It was deemed necossary to make auy vacancies as possible for tho benefit of Demo cratic applicants, and to carry on tu.t2r,1ur..Pj. process upon set its heart. Mr. Matthews attended tho first civil hervico examination for Special Examiners of tho Pension Otliee, July l'.t, is, and was appointed over all other applicants from Mary land, the quota of the State at that time being but one ; it was subse quently raised to two by Commis sioner Jhi.llcy, and is now four. He was six years iu the field investigat ing pension claims ; but after the passage of the Disability Actof June J7, Km, was called in by Commis sioner Kan in, ami for three years was an adjudicating otlicer in the Middle Division at Washington, although still borne on Hie special examiners' roll. He was four times reappointed by the iirst Cleveland a. liiiinstration. With regard to the change of pol icy iu the pension office Mr. Matth ews says Unit all soldiers who were pensioned under the Act of June 27, iy, y adding two or more small disabilities together, so as to bring me rating up to (i and thus make them pensionable under tho new hw, will certainly bo dropped, if their cases are reached while "Ruling No. 1. "of the new Secretary of the Interior, remains in force. Commis sioner Kaum on October 2i, lsjo, instructed the adjudicating force to apply the old law schedule of rating to the new law cases, and to give to each disability tho same rating us would be given to it asif ithadorigi nited in the service, and tho claim h id been made under the general 1 iw. For instause if a soldier lost a thumb iu battle, the rating would be 1 ond if he lost a middle finger the rating would be If ho lost the sight of an eye the rating would bo 12 ; slight bronchitis contracted in the service would be .-, and so on through the whole catalogue of dis ense and disabilities. Under the Ruum ruling these sanieratings were used in new law cases, no matter whether the disabilities originated be fore the service, or iu the service ornfterthe service ; anducei tiiieato was issued for the sum of these rat ings added together, whether they amounted to sii to ss, to .!), or to No certificate could bo issued for lei-s than nor for more than It might happen that a SI 2 pension would be granted, covering si disabilities, each rating at si-. Under this ruling nearly every sold ier was pensionable uuder tho now law, and very few of this das of chums were rejected during the wholo of tho R.ium odiuinistra:ion. National Derelicts. Around the city of Washington, iu its public places and its corners are many wrecks of disappointed ambition, fest living, and unslaked thirst for olliee. These relics of a by gone time, who breathe in tLc present and live in the past, have their places of meeting and accus toiu dhaiint s just us have their More prosperous brethren. A cer tain redness of nose and looseness of attire and sadly boastful talk dis tinguish them from other men so strongly that they may bo told at a glance.ii Forced by incomes straight ened to meanness to live in squalid fashion, with never a dollar to spare from tho stern necessities of bread and bed, such dissipation as they are able to compass is obtained from the pockets of young men willing to buy them liquor for tho. sake of of things that happened in years ilong dead. Some of them have achieved smaller places in tho departments and eke out existence upon salaries that iu the old times would not have settled a week's drinking bill. Several uro iu the Treasury. Unable to work, they are kept on tho rolls in memory of, what they onco were. They aro looked up to in a certain way by other clerks, and their foibles are forgiven because they have grown old without honor. A prominent figure among them is a man who is nominally a messenger. His pay is Sii!) per month. He has no family and manages to live. In tho early Til's he came to Washing ton. On the night of his arrival he deposited with the proprietor of one of tho best-known hotels the neat sum of sJ.'t.iMlO. With the manners of a gentleman and a wide acquaint ance, ho became at once a powerful member of tho wiue-drinking and card playing lobby of those days. No g imo was too steep for his entry. His money was soon gono aud his schemes failed. Ho went from champagno to whisky and began to grow shabby and fall into disrepute. Two or three government places se cured for him by former boon com panions in Congressional life were lost through habitual inebriety. Am bition left him, and ho has long been a stranger to hope. Yet at tho age of sixty years, when swallow after swallow of liery liquor has sent the thin blood coursing through his swollen veins, flashes of tho old wit como from him, aud his cracked voice recovers something of tho mellow tones that usod to make him a bidden guost at tho tables of the great. He tells strango tails of the giauts of tho pat, all of which goes to prove that men iu high or low stations aro but men after all. House, Lot, and Blacksmith Shop For Sale.
