The Pension System Of Engiand.-The sys-
tenn of pensionng the widows and orphans of pu-
bile servants, military civil. is nowhere carried
TO such an extent us in England. Even an en-
signs widow has pension OF course it ceases
if she marry again. Then if there be children
they are usually provided for out of what is call
ed the compassionate fund child receiv-
ing ten pounds year. eea>ing when boy attains
the age of Ia, and continuing to n girl until she
becomes married. In the civil service every
officer pays about per cent towards a supcranua-
ton fund, which provides him, after thirty years
service, with about twothrds the salary he has
been receiving for the last year of his work.
Thus, man with 600 n year. would retire on
an annual allowance, during the rest of his life
of El00 There is pension, also, for widows
and children As every civilian must contribute
to this fund-as half of them never marry, and as
a fifth of them do not live long enough to be
superanuated, the fund has smaller drain upon
it than might be imagined, and in fact has
great surplus now of capital over expenditure

THE EBENEzERs.-Thisi is the name of n
communist or common property association
occupying section of land eight miles from
Buffalo, on the old Seneca reservation, about
nine thousand acres in all. They number
about two thousand, and hold property TO the
value of about S6,0O0,OOO, and propose to sell
out and remove West, where they can have a
larger domain. The Ebenezcrs originated in
Germany, where the community has existed
for century. We learn from journal pub
lshed in their vicinity that they have large
farms in high state of cultivation, their i'm
mense barns overloaded with grain; and they
excel in cotton and woolen manufactures, es-
pecially in broadcloths, cassimeres, and flan-
nels. They have large focks and herds, all
under the care of shepherds. They differ from
the Shakers, inasmuch as they marry and are
given in marriage, and are practical Malthu-
SLAMS when the economy of their organization
demands it. They have an elective board Of
governors or elders, thirty in number, upon
whom devolve all the Legislation of the CON-
munity; but they appoint single executive
officer, upon whom devolves the entire super
intendence of their varied enterprises.-Bos-
ton Chronicle.

THE RUMoRED YTERPELLATIoN.-The sto-
ry coming by the Baltic saying that France
and England had united in joint note, de-
manding TO know of this Government what
are its relations with Russia, is regarded at
Washington by all conversant with interna-
tional affairs as one of the most preposterous
stories of the times, so given to getting up
wonderful tales by way of making newspaper
correspondence interesting for the nonce. No
such Interpolation has been received by the
American Government. No such thing could
have happened without our hearing Of it: as
such an event would have been the subject of
much conversation among those who are
known as the Diplomatic (foreign) circles of
Washington, wherein there are few secrets
indeed not within the reach of wide awake
journalist Washington Star.

sB- The New Orleans Christian Advocate
of the l4th, in recapitulating the heavy mis-
fortunes that have befallen our nation during
the present year, sums up the mournful tale
in language as full of truth as the year has
been of memorable events:
awe sing of mercy and judgment. The
year past will be signal in history for
its disasters. Drought, in the best ag
ricultural districts, cutting off millions ofpro-
duce. Fires in cities and forests; mountains
in blaze. Cholera invading from the sea-
coast to the interior. Yellow fever raging as
never before. Disasters by railroads, and
greater ones by rivers and by sea- Sailing
vessels lost; steamers, huge and staunch,
laundering mid ocean, or in tempting view
Of shore; or burning in hopeless distance of
rescue. Thousands Of lives lost; moaning
and wailing fiji all the land. Such events
show us that God does not need wars foes of
steal and iron, serried ranks of invading hosts
and armed fleets, like those that distress the
other hemisphere, in order to reduce the
proud to humility, or make his sovereignty
known"

tB The Washington Star says we learn
that some nine months ago the Post Office
Department caused an examination to be
made into the use of postage stamps, &C.,
from the result Of which it was concluded
that flty-two per centum Of the letters sent
in the mails were at that time prepaid. Very
recently second similar investigation shows
that at this time quite sixty per centum of
the letters so sent are prepaid. This increase
shows that our people are just becoming to
understand the advantages of pre.payng
mail matter

BE- OF Coon CHEER,--It is pleasant to as
sociate with men who are always happy, never
dsconsolate, down.hearted, or "out Of sorts. ="
II is strange that so many of the crab apple
kind exists in society, cross, always in trouble,
sorrowing bitter, will not enjoy themselves
or let their friends have free heart. Why is
ii? Disappointments will come, but the man
of true rerve and good discrimination rises
above them cool and self.possessed, he never
frets over the past but with hopeful and
cheerful face looks to the future, and goes
through the world with crowns of JOY upon
his head. The current of life carries us along,
like sea-weed torn from n rock; wo cannot
controli II, cannot stem the tide, but may make
a pleasant journey. Long life to the cheerful
man

MONTREAL, Oct, %.

Further details relative to the discovery of
the remains Of Sir John Franklin and compa-
ny, leave no doubt as to the correctness of the
story. The Indians met party of forty of
the survivors dragging their boats, and sold
them some seals, long before the discovery of
the bodies. Some of the party stated that
their ships had been crushed by ice Some
of the bodies had been buried. Others were
found under a tent, and boat was also dis
covered that had belonged to Sir John Frank
Inns party. Our informant purchased from
the Indians large number of articles taken
from the bodies.

TEMPERANCE DRINKING.

"Tis but drop" the father said
And gave it to his son;
But little did he think work
A work of death was then begun.
The drop that lured him when the babe
Scarce lisped his fathers name,
Planted a fatal appetite
Deep in his infant frame.
"'Tis but drop" the comrade cries,
In truant school-boy tone;
"lt did not hurt us in our robes.
1t will not now we're grown"
And so they drink the mixture up,
That reeiing, youthful band;
For each had learned to love the taste,
From his own fathers hand.
"Tis but drop" the husband said,
While his poor wife stood by,
In famine, grief and loneliness,
And raised the imploring cry;
cts but drop-I'll drink it still
Twill never injure me;
always drank-so, madame, hush
We never can agree"
"'Tis but drop-I need it now"
The staggering drunkard said,
at vas my food in infancy
My meat and drink, and bread,
A drop--a drop--0 let me have
Twill so refresh my soulp
He took Observation-Disclosures died,
Grasping the fatal bowl.

"TwITTING UpoN FAcTs."-The Hartford
Courant, in response to the charge of Loco
Foco papers thatit becomes Wing policy to

whenever the thing is possible, retorts in the
following very effective manner:

cabinet. One Massachusetts Coaitionst--
one New York Soft-one Pennsylvania Cath
ohc--one Free Soil Michigan man--one Ken
tucky Union man--onc North Carolina Old
Lane Democrat, and pretty old at that--and

Coon ADVICE TO YOUNG LApIEs.--Trust
not to uncertain riches, but prepare yourself
for every emergency in life. Learn to work,
and not be dependent upon servants to make
your bread;--sweep your floors and darn your
own stockings. Above all things, do not es-
TEEN too lightly those honorable young men
who sustain themselves and their aged pata
ents by the work of their own hands, while
you care for and receive into your company
those lazy popinjays, who never lift finger
to help themselves, so long as they can keep
body and soul together and get sufficient to
live in fashion.

ST. LOUIS. Oct. @

About 10 o'clock this morning the large
steam flour mill on st. Charles street, belong
ing to Mr.. Powell, was discovered to be on
fire in the garret. The fire spread rapidly
through the building, which bailled the exer.
tions of the fremen, and the whole building
was destroyed. The building and machine
ry is a total loss There were about 5000
barrels -four and 6Oo0 bushels wheat in the
mill at the time. About 200 barrels flour
were saved. 1t was insured for 6,ooo which
is far below the loss.

ray" After long continued experiment,
Mr.. Dalrol of Connecticut, has succeeded in
constructing n mechanical Fog Trumpet, for
lighthouses and light-ships, so arranged that
it blows at stated intervals, and so loud that
it is said to sometimes send the sound dis
tance of eight o. ten miles, The machinery
is inclosed in a small frame building, II feet
square, and is regulated by clock, which
puts the apparatus in motion. stops it, and
blows the alarm at will, once in one, two,
three, or FIVE minutes, as the keeper may
please to adjust it. The trumpet is made of
brass, about four feet long, with mouth
piece, similar to the organ pipe. The tongue
is of hammered brass, German silver, or steel.
This apparatus has been tried on Long Island
Sound, and is said to be far preferable to the
Fog Bell.

EY- Decisions in railway accidents in
France continue to be happy mixture of
justice and severity. Aman was killed some
tine ago while working on railroad bridge.
His widow brought an action against the
company for damages for the neglect of the
signal man, who did not warn her husband
in time. The Tribunal condemned the COM
pany to pay 500 down, $40 year for life,
and $40 year 10 each of bcl children up TO
thc age Of eighteen.

PERSONAL BEAUTY.-Beauty is too much
like calico. Its tints are not sufficiently strong
to withstand the sunshine and storms of life;
for while the former fades them, the latter
often causes their entire removal. Beauty
may be considered MS simply the dress of tho
soul, or the gauze which covers the features
of the mind. 1t makes purity seem more deli
cate and spiritual, and error less repulsive. It
is therefore dangerous alike to the possessor
and the beholder; while it magnifes all that
is good, it lessons all that is faulty. Great
consolation that for hard.favored people.

man asserts that fellow out West, 1--WE
would like Dutchy to tell where "out West"
ISL the other day, advertised new kind of
porker--4pigs that would live for 20 years
without feeding" The advertisement drew
an immense crowd, as might be expected. On
examining matters, the statement was admit
ted-the pigs would not only live 20 years
without food, but forever-they were pigs
of lead. One old gentleman who wished to
"cross Suffolk sow," with "something new
was so indignant at the sell, that he offered
to shoot the rascal "wot put it in the papers"
provided any one would "pint" him out
But as no one was willing to do this-the
shooting was postponed to the first fair day.

THE BALTIMORE ELEcTloN.-The corres-
pondent ofthe Richmond Bulletin, from Bal

lowing
"a curious feature in this election was the
fact that large number of foreigners went

Know Nothing ticket. One German gave as

here to enjoy the control Of Americans.

"nothing doing" in the market, and says
"Packers, under present circumstances, with

great depression in prices of last years pro-
duct, are 10th to enter the market at the rates
now demanded. The crop, it is now gener-
ally admitted, will show not so large def,
cheney MS supposed some time ago. Some
are offering S4 nett, but this is, we think,
little too low. We are confident, however,
that no sales could at present be effected at
