A company of soldiers is unfortunate 1 if it doee not contain a few wags to ea- . liven the tiresome march and the uncom- fortable bivouac. - • / A Georgia man of enormoes girth !,f| stood at his gate watching the passage ' of Gen. Johnston's array. All at once . three or lour men left the ranks and came running toward the gate, exclaiming: " "We've found him I We've found him!" - The fat man was astonished and per- • ;\ haps a little frightened, and the captain of the company demanded: , "What ia it? Whom have you found?" \ ^ "Why, captain," answered the men, ^ still dancing about the bewildered citaaaa., :*Jjj •'don't you see?

He is living in Evans City Butler county, Pa. This is disputed by cm Astnbola county paper, which says that Robert McKee, who'has lived at Pierpont, that county, for more than fifty years, was born April 4,1802, and was over 59 years old when he first enlisted, and served in three regi­ ments and only quit when the war ended. A Difference of Opinion Whenever the general assertion is plifc* forth that, in view of the immense size of < the pension roll and the notorious laxity ^ that has long prevailed in the adminis­ tration of the law, a large number of pen­ sions paid must be fraudulent, the an­ swer is: "Vague assertions prove noth- ing. Give us specific cases.' The New York Times has done the American peo­ ple an excellent service by furnishing the thing thus demanded. It has, indeed, not undertaken the gigantic task of overhauling the whole pension roll, bat it has laid before the public a demonstra­ tion sufficiently conclusive. It has sent its reporters to several inland towns ia this state to inquire into the cases of in­ dividual pensioners living there, and thus it has been able to spread before the public an array of evidence the represen­ tative character of which no fair-minded man will deny.--flaiper s WeaHjr. Every fair-minded man will deny, be* cause there is no evidence that the state­ ments made in regard to thesepansioMm are uu^iuiiig ujore iiietu tuw V&ponngS of envious neighbors and paid 3piM of the .government. There is a prejudice in this country in favor of settlement o! legal questions in accordance • wHih the forms of law and under the dhteetlbn of the officers chosen by the people to ad­ minister the law. The pension casee to which the New York Times has directed its attention were settled in this way. and the stuff the Timesh&s published has no relevant* and no force, beeause it is an attempt to substitute irregular and lawless methods of examining eases lor those prescribed by law. There are al­ ways two parties to a ssit, but the Timetf eliminates one of these and then trieeand convicts scores of old soldiers on hear- - ' :w«- 4 c H 'aM? , 1 say evidence, and without the front op­ portunity for defense.
