Commissioner IMaoli's Etcporf.
Gen. John <J. Black, commissioner of pen?
sions, in his annual report to tho .Secretary
ol the Interior makes the following sugges?
tions:
Firsl. The allowance of;?2 per mouth to
minor children entitled to pension is inade
; quate for their support, and should be in?
creased lo $5 per month. Second. That the
act of June 10, 1SS0, be so nmended as tojper
mit the bt nefits of the act to be exteuded to
?e who subsequent to the date of its ap
prova) from aggravation of their malady may
have become helpless. Third. That the ex?
isting law that a widow's pension certificate
can only boar date from the day on which
sho lilea her application should be amended
to allow the coumioucernent of tho pension
to dato from tho death of the husband, tho
other conditions required by the law being
present. Fourth. That section 4,718 of the
Revised Statutes be so amended as to
prohibit the payment of more than one
pension to the eame person. Fifth. That the
law requiring a peusiou to be graded accord
iug to the rank of the ciaimaut at the time
tho injury was received should be amended
that the rank subsequently acquired bona
fide may be considered by the commissioner
in (I termining the amount of pension to be
allowed. Sixth. That the preter.t rate for
deafness should be increased by law to $30
: er month for total deafness, with interme?
diate grades to be determined accordiog to
tho degree of disability. Seventh. That dis?
cretion should be lodged in tiie commissioner
in correcting discrepancies in rates of pen- j
>r loss of limbs, or Congress should be
: to establish a tablo of rates for loss of
limbs. Eighth. That thu law beamended so
that the commissioner shall bo authorized
to pay tho pension to tho wife of a pension?
er, or to a suitable person on behalf of his
children, when the habits of the pensioner
<'t\o\r him to be an unfit person to receive or
disburse the pension. Ninth. That an ap
I ropriation of $1S,000 he made to defray the
expenses of additional necessary pension
agencies. Tenth. That an additional clerical
: rce be allowed to enable the commission
ers, without making extra demands upon
the clerks now in service, to complete and
I satisfy tho Mexican pension claims, of
I which 8,000 have been allowed siuce tho
go of the act. The report shows that
j there were at the close of the year 400,007
j pen=ioners,clas3ified as follows: 294,4-15army
I invalids ; 85,010 army widows, minor child -
reu and dependent relatives; 3,2S1 navy

; ren and dependent relatives; 1,009 Eurvi

: 2,707 Whose pensions had been previously
I dropped w< re restored to tho rolls. During
the same period tho names of 17,087 pen
i sioners were dropped from the rolls for va
j rious onuses. The average annual value
! of euch pension at tho c'oso of the y?-ar in
! shown to be $130.10, a ge.in o! average and
i a tie over la?! year of S7.S7. The aggre?
gate annual value ol all pensions is $52,
1824,041, an increase of like value for the
year of $8,116,638. The amount paid for
pi nsious during the year was $73,467,581, an
i increase in amount over the previous year
; of $9,669,750. The amount paid to 44 019

j ed in the hands of the several pension agents

! business on the 30th day of June, on which
there was due $3,924,783. It appears that

: have been Bled since 1861, and in the same
j period '170,'.'is claims of all classes havo
been allowed: Durjng the year 55,194 orig?
inal certificates were issued, a greater num
ber than was ever before issued by the bu?
reau in auy one year.
The commissioner in his estimates for the
coming year, asks for two additional chiels
of division at $2,000 each per annum, fifty
j additional clerks at $1,200 each per annum,
j fifty additional clerks at $1,000 each pe- an
num. The foliowintr are the estimates for

YouncJMrs. Gould's Early Struggles.
?When Edith Kingdon (now Mrs. George
Gould) was first on the stage she pushed
herself, ail unaided, from a subordinate posi
' 'ion in the Boston Theatre to a pleasant one
\ in Mr. Daly's company. Friends had ro
j peatedly told the struggling girl that her
; plr.ee was in New York, and she as often
had sent letters to Mr. Daly, receiving,
however, no reply. Finally Mr. Daly took
his company to Boston, and Miss Kingdon
nlayed a strong card. She sent two tickets to
the performance to Mr. Daly in the after?
noon, and in the evening sent a carriage to
his hotel. He went, saw tho performance,
and the next day Miss Kingdon received a
: note usking for an interview. Now hero is
where that girl's cleverness came in. She
was a poor, honest little worker, and she
was living in a cheap boarding-house. She
read the note, went straight to the Adams
House, hired a suite of rooms, decorated
them with bric-a brae borrowed from will?
ing friends, donned a tea gown that good
Rachel Noah pressed upon her, and then
ssnt for Mr. Daly. He came, and before he
j he left Miss Kingdon had her contract.?

The capital stock of this company is $025.000, divided into 025,000
shares of $1 each.
The company is incorporated under the laws of West Virginia, and j
the stock is non-assessable, and carries with it no personal liability to
the holder.
The Gold Mining Company (location, Music Mountains, A. T.) is as
sound a mini: g enterprise as was ever placed on the market, and its
possibilities have never been exceeded. Every share should double in
value within a year, and they may quadruple, as they are based on
property that would ordinarily have been capitalized ten (10) times as
great on account of its known richness and promise.
The shares are made small so that any one can invest. Subscriptions
for five shares are as welcome as those lor hundreds.
Every dollar of earnings will go to the stockholders in dividends, as
there is nothing else that they can be used for.
A Wisewell mill, capacity 20 tons per day, with powerful machinery,
has been purchased and will be on the ground ready for erection at the
mine within the next thirty days.
The solid basis upon which the company is founded and the practical
proofs of the richness of the mine have already secured the confidence
of the public, and the stock has steadily advanced in selling value, j
Within the last few days bona fide sales have been made at par.
There is no better stock on the market for a permanent investment.
