The Jbagiituditi of fkicts to be Attained <n the Pension Bureau, and the Con­ trasts of Some oj '1 hem. A Washington Letter says: The Commissioner of Pens'ons estimates the expenditures from the National Treasury on account of pensions will be at least $59,060,000 annually for many years to come. This l« about about double the average from 1SG5 to 1870, and the Increase is clue entirely to the passage of Arrears of Pensions act. In the natural order of events the expenditure* oa acoount of pensions decrease as ths war period recedes, and this wotiltf have been the case now had it not been for tlie passage of the arrears bill. Tlie total disbursements of the last fiscal-year footed up $57.- 240,540, and the approximation for the next fiscal year i& $6S,000,000. This money is more entirely distributed over tlie country than is setterally sup­ posed. It ia notAli paid out in the Northern States. In proportion to the population, therg are more invalids of the Mexican Wtfr and survivors of the War of 1813 In the Southern than in the Northern State*. Of the volun­ teers to the Mexican War about two- thirds went frotA tin- Southern States.. The snrvivore have not been pensioned but it is only a qnestion of time until they will be. Th* invalids are carried upon the rolls, however, at the same rate a« the Invalitfc and cripples of the late war. Also Ihrvivlng widows of those who died hi the servioe. Of sur­ viving widow* (ftibject to petition) of course there are none, and there are now very few froas the War of the Re­ bellion, as a child born lu 1805 fs now sixteen years old. ̂ The eurvi vora of tlie War of 1S12 arc all upon the rolls, also the widows of soldiers of that war. The records of the pension office show that thero are more of these (in) proportion to the population) In tfee mountainous re­ gions of Tennessee ami Nort h Carolina and in Western portion* of New York than in other portioijn of the country. This may be owiiyf41 to the nmislial healthfulness of the location or to tlie fact that there wete originally uiore •oldiers from these localitie*. .Lflftvoa fikAAifMV The >5?d during the ttorse -Shoein^»4ws^ai(]K5,,̂ |̂ r,Br4lt<!,. In some instances Itimitussible to Cell how much wis pntdont in a par­ ticular State as ^ single pension agency often has withtnt its jurisdiction two or more States. In the States of Massachusetts,Rhode Island and Con­ necticut, there was distributed 93,791,- 167, or about |l,25 per capita, lu Illi­ nois there was distributed $5,163,359, or about $1.75 per capita. In Ohio, $5,178,716 was distributed, about the same per capita distribution as in Illinois. In the States of Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont there was paid out $4,059,905, among an aggre­ gate population of 1.400,000, being tlie largest payment in proportion to pop­ ulation in tlie United States. In the States of Iowa and Nebr:tskii,$H 025.965 was paid out. In Michigan $2,368,765 was disbursed. In Indiana the pay­ ments were 3,646,090, or something over $1.25 per capita. In Kentucky, $.,567,531 was paid out or not far froin •1 per capita, lu the States of Vir­ ginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, Teuuessee. Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana. South Carolina, and Geor­ gia, $3,280,906 was disbursed, or in the neighborhood of thirty-iivjp cents per capita. If these States were separated into several pension agencies, it would very probably be shewn that $1,000,000 of this was paid out in Tennessee alone, that State having about 40.000 in the Union r.nny,.saying nothing of the survivors of the War of 1812, of which there area good many. In the States of*WiBCou%in*and Minnesota, and tlie Territories of Hakota, Montana and Wyoming, $3,090,549 was paid out, or something over $1 per capita. New York heads the list with payments of $7,179,461 through her two pension agents, one at Syracuse and one at New York City. Large as this sum appears it is really less than $1,50 per capita. New York having a 111 tie over 5,000,000 of people. In Pennsylvania there are also two pension agenoies, with |>*3r- nients during the yeur, of $0,831,268, or a trifle aver $l.a0>per capita. lu the States of California, Nevada, Oregon, a lid Territories of Idaho, Washington, Arizona and Utah, only $361,040 was paid out. being about its low a per ceut in proportion to the the popula­ tion as in some of the Southern States, and lower than some of them. In tlie States of Missouri, Kftusas and Colo­ rado, $3,803,644 was distributed, In the States ot Maryland, New Jjrsey, Delaware and the District of Columbia and to pensioners iu foreign lauds, $4,236,255 was ptid out. These figures show where the $67,000,000 disbursed in pensious during tlie lest fiscal year went to. Without additiou to tlie class of persons pensioued.ora change in the pension laws, payments hereaf­ ter in the soveral localities will be rel­ atively the same, If the survivors of the Mexican War should be pensioned, the amount paid out in the Southern States would be largely increased. SuoeeufUl Journalism. Tlie re is one editor who has achiev­ ed the feat of running a newspaper to suit everybody. Occasionally, to be sure, he has complaints, but he never falls to satisfy thp cotnplainera that they were in the wrong. It wasn't al­ ways so with him. He only adopted the system after he got desperate. It was one day after he had received sev­ en complaint«, that he tried it. A man came in and said, "Why in topli- et dldn'i you print the whole of the proceedings of the society for the pre­ vention of cruelty to hogs, instead of a brief abstract The editor replied: "Oh, you made a speech that wasn't in the report, eh?" Then lie went around the counter. The dust flew for a few momeuts and then it became more quiet. The editor relaxed his grip on tiie man's throat sufficiently t6 let him spoak, and he said that lie guessed that the article was all right, and he had only come in to renew his subscription. He was let up. paid the money and left. And as he went out hecollided with "a man who had an ug'y irlare in his eye*, a.id dancing up to the editor said: "What d'ey mean, sir? I pay for a sensible newspaper and here I get a lot of *tufl about cru­ elty to hogs. You ought to be put in jail lor printing such rot." The Editor again went around the counter and again tlie dust flew, and cries of "take your teeth from my ear!" "Let go o' me hair!" etc., were heard. It was full five ml nut es before the editor could get the man's coat jtom oft and put him on the floor, with Ills head iu the scuttle. But lie did it at last.-- Then he jumped high in the air and sat down upon the man's stomach, and the yell the man gave, echoing in tlie coal scuttle was awful. The editor was about to repeat the operation, but the man said: "We needn't prolong this agony. Your paper Is the best in the world I'll take it for ten years in ad­ vance." Eigllt^.nore visitors had the same experience. Then came one that the editor couldn't thrash. It was a woman. "What d'ye mean by publish­ ing fashion articles from a three year old magazine?" sho said. "1 made a* bonnet according to your directions and it's three years behind the style. Oh. j'ou wretch! You mean, horrid insign'flcant---- oli-h!" "My dear madam," he said, *Tui not tit to run a paper. I'll stop at once," (To a re. pqrter^) "Jphn, send ^ anya more copy. Kill that article saying^ this lady was the belle of tlie ball last night." '•Stop.'" she cried, "Your per is a household treasure. I THINGS LRARNKD BY KXFCBlK9Cto.

Every hou^e at Green Island--a littrle settlement opposite Yankton-- was swept away There are about fif­ ty houses in the town. Including two new churches aud three stores. All the inhabitants, were, fortunately, saved, but they lost everything. From thirty to fifty families in Yankton, three living near the'iver, had their dwellings aUo swept away. Three- fourths of the families in Vermillion, a town of some 2,000 inhabitants, in a similar manner was borne away by n merciless flood. This portion of the town was built on bottom land. The remainder of the town was mved through being built on a blufl more re­ mote I'rom the river. Only two build- ings, including the railroad depot, re­ main on the bottoms. The inhabitants of that section escaped by fleeing to the highlands. Flour mills aud vari­ ous manufactories aud some dozen or more stores, some of them merchants carrying heavy stocks of goods, suc­ cumbed to the flood's ~ devastating force. $®rFarmers, strive to make your Iicme8 homelike. We do not ask you to spend money beyond your means for shrubs and trees, flowers aud vegeta­ bles. But do what you (*sn while not |>ermittiug the more pressing interests of tlie 'farm to suffer, Plant a few trees and shrubs, even though they be taken from the woods or fields. Plant grape vines even though you go to a neighbor for cuttings. Sow the seeds of apples and pears for stooks upon which to graft the finest kinds that are cultivated about you. Plant ourraut and gooseberry cuttings, if you oannot procure tlie plants, Try a few rows of celery^a plot of asparagus. A«1 this and more may be duue by any farmer who desires to maite his home homelike to attach his children to it.

War A, New Ilaveu firm sends thous­ ands of the red American fox skins to Russia every year. These skins, which are used in the Muscovite country to line costly garments, are contributed to a considerable extent by Maine, Vermont aud New Hampshire. That we should sepd furs to Russia is as odd as that we should send wine to France, (Mid yet both these things aire done. 19-In Ne w York last week, James O'Brien, alius Robert or "BobM Lind­ say, who during lite last political cam­ paign deposed that he knew H. L. Morey, the individual to whom, it was alleged. President James 'A. Garfield wrote what is known as the "Morey- Chinese" letter, and who subsequently confessed that he perjured himself, pleaded guilty to the Indictment for perjury presented against him, and Judge Cowing sent him to State Prison for eight vears. Judge Cowing iu passing sentence, commented severely upon the gravity of the offence, height* ened a« it was by the importance of the interests sought to be affected. It is a pity that all tlie members of the Morey conspiracy have not got thetr deserts iu the same way. TRAINING A COLT.--Bad horses are more frequently made than born. It Is very much iu the bringing up~»iu the way the colt is cared for, and the manner in which it is brokeu. Firm­ ness with kindness go very far lu mak­ ing a valuable horse. The colt should early learn tba£ U i« uever to be de­ ceived; that it Is to be encouraged and rewarded and obedient, and punished by the withholding of caresses when disobedient. The same natural quali­ ties that make a horse vicious will, with proper treatment, make one of tlioseintelligent and spirited horses that all desire to possess. The true trainer of colts Is gentle, loving. Arm, and thoughtful; and the young animals under his charge partake much of the samo qualities.--American Agricultur­ ist, MT Tlie re Is no doubt that clal relations upon a large scale ar*. about to be opened up between th# United States and Mexico, The per* turbed state of our neighboring repute He for a score or more of years, and the inadequate condition of our coast* Ing marine has heretofore Interfere^ with American trade with Mexlcoi* But now the government seems mora stable and powerful; while two 'greai " trunk lines of railroad are stretching from the United States away in So tb« best, richest and most fruitful portion# of tbat oountry,and liar fruits and min* era!s will soon be brought to the great Interior cities of the Union by direr! freight lines.

In Msspeeoh sustaining It, he claimed that justice®to Ireland is to be tlie guiding principle of England.-- Among other reforms the government proposes tondvance money to teuants to enable them to purohaie their land where landlords are williug to sell, and provides for a permanent Land Com­ mission, to be the final court of appeal in all land questions.
