Slocotn, o! the famous old Twelfth Corps, is said to stand nqar the head of the roster of surviving war gen­ erals of the army. Joseph Patten, who lives near Clifton Hill, in Randolph connty, Mo., still, has the pony he rode in the Confederate army. It ie now thirty-six years old and as fat as a mol9, not having been used any or very little, for some years. The New York Herald is still worried because "the United States spends more in pensions" for its old veterans "than it costs to support the German army." The Herald naturally draws its inspira­ tion from the other side of the ocean. The Colorado Soldiers' Home at Monte Vista is fast approaching completion and already quite a number of the old boys have made application for a room therein, where they expect to remain tbe balance of their lives. The total number of enlistments dur­ ing the war was 2,859,132. How many different individuals served no one knows. It was possible for one man to have served out as many as five enlistments during the war. The adjutant-general has placed the enlistments reduced to three-years' sfcandard at 2,327,917 pen Florida, the floral State of the Union has recently instituted her 21st Post in the 0. A.

The number of war veterans in the em ploy of the various departments of the city government of New York is 197, di vided as follows: bureau of chief en­ gineer, 23; bureau of water purveyor, 79; bureau of sewers, 29; bureau of streets and roads 17; bureau of repairs and sup­ plies, 33; bureau of lamps and gas, 1; bureau of street improvements, 3; bu­ reau of water register, 22, The above does not include laborers and mechanics, of whom there are many employed. The little German town of Sigel, seven miles north of Effingham, I'l., was named after the gallant Gen. Frane Sigel. The General has received numerous invita­ tions to visit his namesake, and finally did so last week. To 2,000 people as­ sembled in a beautiful grove Postmaster Chapman, of the village, presented the old veteran, and on behalf of the citizens presented the General with a gold-headed cane. Several people who "fights mit Sigel" were present, and everybody had an enjoyable time. KOOH ES T E B, l£.

The Inmates of the Soldiers' Hboae at Bath, Me., are not living on "hard tack" these days. They have plenty to eat and variety sufficient to keep the old fellows fading pretty good* for Which those who love the old soldiers are very glad. They deserve good care at the hands of the country they helped to save. The follow* ing is the bill of fare and amount con­ sumed: Friday is flsh day all through. Sunday, mutton twice, Monday, shoul­ der for breakfast and beef for dinner. Wednesday, bed twice. Everyday soup with bread. The following are the sup­ plies for one day: Bread, 900 pounds; milk, 42 gallons; sugar, 110 pounds; tea 12 pounds for supper; coffee, 70 pounds for breakfast; and dinner; butter, 82 lbs.; dried apples, 75 pounds for supper; roast pork, 500 pounds for dinner; corned beef, 250 pounds for breakfast; potatoes 25 bushels; cabbage, 200 heads. In addition to this daily supply for those who are ready for their "rations" there are 170 sick in the hospital, who "with their attendants, have to be fed. Don't Come to Washington. A great many pension claimants enter­ tain the delusion that if they can only come on to Washington and see the Com missioner of Pensions in person they can get their cases put through at once. They raise the means to come on here with difficulty, and frequently have no more than barely enough to reach the city, ex pecting to get enough from their pension to return home with. The result is that they are stranded in Washington, and have to apply to the G. A. R. Belief Com­ mittee for funds to take them home. The number of these calls is a fearful drain upon the charity fund of the G. A. R in Washington, and a number of unsuccess­ ful! attempts have been made to induce Congress to make an appropriation to provide for thesa stranded comrades. It is all a mistake for any pension claimant to come to Wasnington. His presence here cannot push his case one step. At home he is in easier reach of his witnesses aud his proofs than he can be here. All the money that he spends to come hither is simply thrown away. The following letter from the Commis­ sioner of Pensions to the Chairman of the Relief Committee of the Department of the Potomac, G. A. R., kfully explains the matter: DEPARTMENT OF THE IJTTKRIOB,- BUBKAU OF PENSIONS, (OFFICE OF THE COMMISSIONER, WASHINGTON, D. C. Oct. 1,1891. A. S. TABER, Esq., Junior Vice Com­ mander, Department of the Potomac. DEAR SIR: I have the honor to ac­ knowledge the reeiept of your communi­ cation of the 2(1th of August last urging the propriety of issuing a circular to the eomnriiero! the GraMArmy Aftd oUiaK* throughout the United States setting forth the inexpediency of their coming to Washington for the purpose of advanc­ ing their pension claims. 1 note your statements that in many cases the applicants are poor; that they come here without means to return to their homes, and therelore become a bur­ den upon your Belief Committees to tbe detriment of needy comrades, widowsand orphans of your own Department. In reply I desire to say that the Bureau of Pensions is now issuing, on an average 30,000 certificates a month, and that all cases are being pushed forward to final adjucation as rapidly as possible. Of course you will understand that it is im­ possible to adjucate all the claims pend­ ing in this Office at the same time. You will agree with me that it is entire­ ly unnecessary for claimants to uppcar before the bureau in person to success­ fully prosecute their claims. It is only an additional expense to them, and it does not expedite their claims. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1891. there were finally adjudicated ana certificates issued in 250,565 pension claims. This number was 100,000 in excess to any previous year in the history of the Pension Bureau, and during the present fiscal year it is my intention, and 1 have set the office the gait, to issue 350,000 certificates. You are at liberty to publish this letter if you see fit. Very respectfully, , r, B. RAIIM, Commissioner. * --National Tribune. *,)J «in all the battles ever fought b(f Eng­ land she has never put so men on a field of battl# a * upon such battle fields asHtonSHBW or Shiloh.

An incident that is narrated of Gen. McClellan sheds light on the question often asked: Why did his soldiers love him so dearly ? When the army of the Potomac left Harrison Landing, it marched to New­ port News, along the north bank of the James river. The advance division be­ gan its march early in the morning of August 15, but the rear division did not mov& out of camp until four o,clock in the afternoon of the same day. Just at dusk a creek was reached. It must be crossed according to southern custom, by fording, or by a single log by the roadside. The soldiers disliking to fill their shoes with water, were trying to cross on this single log, which of course caused an obstruction to those behind, and really pnt the rear of tiie army in danger. Soon several officers rode up and took in the situation. There was need of more haste. One of the officers called out: Wade right through, my men; wade right through." Some surly fellow from the vmaAm growled out: Wade through yourself, and see how you like it." No sooner had he spoken than tbe officer dismounted and waded through the creek. It was then discovered that the officer was Gen. George B. Mc­ Clellan. The soldiers gave him a hearty cheer, plunged into the creek, aad afterward the point was passed more rapidly four abreast. The general might have repremanded the soldier--indeed, he might have had him arrested and dealt with severely. But under the circumstances he did just the rijrht thing--he went, where he asked his men to go; and his men were glacf to, go where he ted .--Youth's Companion.
