The State Pension.

The last Legislature provided that PEN
sion, not exceeding eight dollars month,
shall be paid out of the State treasury to any
soldier or sailor disabled in the United States
service since 1861, or to the widow
or orphan children under twelve years
of age, of soldier or sailor deceased from
injury or disease contracted in the service. A
subsequent section limits the application to
residents of Maine, who are unable to sup
port themselves by their own labor with the
aid of the United States pension. Applica-
tions for this pension are to be addressed to
the Governor and Council, who are author
lied to regulate the required proof
In proceeding to the execution of the law,
the Governor and Council have decided that
the soldier or sailor must have been credited
on the quota of Maine, and that the pension
er must be in actual danger of becoming de-
pendent on public or private charity. They
have authorized a majority of the selectmen
of towns and the assessors of plantations
and two of the aldermen OF cities, to aid ap-
plicants for the pension and testify in detail
as to their pecuniary circumstances and ply
steal condition. Satisfactory applications re-
ceived through the designated channel, will
be answered by certificates emitting the
claimants to quarterly payments from the
city, town or plantation Of their residence
and the sums thus expended will be reimburs-
ed from the State treasury.
No applications can be considered unless
filed by the person who rendered the service
his widow during widowhood, or his orphan
children under - years Of age, through theiI
guardian, and no one family is entitled to re-
ceive more than eight dollars month.

ARlIADALE. A Novel. By Wilkie Collins,
Author of No Name" 'The Woman in
White, etc. One volume, illustrated. New
York: Harper & Brothers.
The last and most intense of all the intensely
wrought fictions of Mr.. Wilkie Collins is now
published complete in single handsome vol
ume. Those who have been following the
progress of its exciting incidents through the
tantalizing method of monthly installments in
Hdrper's Magazine, will be glad to reach the
end of the drama by shorter process The
story has been pretracted beyond expectation,
but the conclusion, when we do reach it, is
quite satisfactory, and in accordance with the
receivedcanons of the novel-reading and nov
el-writing world. 1t is book concerning
which there will be widely varying opinions,
but everybody will read it, and the circulating
libraries will need to lay in good number of
copies

D.'amatis Persona: - DEATH AND THE
CHOLERA.
DEATH.-Well, my dear Cholera, where are
YOU going to strike in on the western continent
this year?
CHoL. Why, New York, I suppose.
d. o, Mol guess you don't read the pa
pers. The Health Commission, there, have
cleaned out the streets and the cutters, the
markets and tenement-houses, the dung
f,ctories and bone boiling works, till there is
hardly good stencil left.
c. o. dear! How's Boston?
D. Boston's worse, for they've done all
that, and shut up the grog shops to boot.
c. It's no use to think of Philadelphia
d. Mercy, mol Those Paramount water
works ruin our chances there; besides they
have such host of houses there that the poor
people have most provoking sight Of
room to live in. But, hold, there's Portland.
c. Portland! Don't talk of Portland, with
the whole Atlantic Ocean to lick its rim every
tide, and SO bumped up that every shower
scrubs it like a Dutch broom.
d. Well, know natures against us there,
but man is on our side. They've been clean
ing up little for forms sake, but all the old
cultch raked together over the whole city
they've dumped down in some frog puddles on
the west side of the town, sprinkling in the
dead cats at the rate of one cat to wheel
barrow load.
G. Good, wont put the knife in round
those puddles!
D. I called 'em frog puddles, but there are
no frogs there now. There used to be, but
the water turned green, then blue, and the
frogs all died; they couldn't stand it.
C. Splendid symptom
ID. More'n that-A railroad there has lust
changed its line, and damned in the drainage of
awhole ward, making perfect lake of Gehen-
ma right under folks noses.
c. That's the management! I'll have twen-
ty-five per cent of that ward.
d. Besides, plethoric bank there, has
just let out a lot of land under the very nostris
of the city, to build monster stable on, in
which hundred horses are to grind up grain
into gases to poison the air with stencil.
G. Glorious fellows, those Bank Directors
just spot their door-posts. I'll pass them
over. Ecod! they're public benefactors
D. But what caps the climax, the venerable
Corporation itself, the municipal manage
ment, have arranged their whole sewer system
with special reference to the ready intermix.
ture of the poisonous sewerage vapor with the
air the people breathe. Culyerts upon every
crowded street, at every populous corner, and
such perfume as comes forth would make YOU

the east culverts reek, and when the east
wind blows, the west do ditto. The city gov.
eminent, a fine set of wags, have, just for 9
joke, been building two cess-pools at corner
much travelled by, so as to keep up the show
of doing something. a

SCIENTIFIC EXPLORATION OF MOUNT
HooD.-We see by letter from Prof. Wood in a
late Herald that he, with party of seven others,
has made scientific exploration of Mount Hood.
1t stands unrivalled among the mountains Of North
America. Its height is II $40 feet above the level
Of the sea. The mass Of the mountain is volcanic
lava and ashes. There is crater yet open and
constantly emitting sulphurous vapor. Glaciers
are there also, as On Mount Blanc, composed Of
clear blue ice, gradually sliding down the awful
.ravines. The Flora is exceedingly interesting,
being almost purely alpine. More than thirty
species, peculiar to the mountains were gathered,
many of which are new to the science.

THE ALBANY FoUNDRY.-Among
the NEST prominent features in evidence of the

Mr. Cherry, who is, perhaps one of the most thor
ough maehinists the coast. This institution
has been established but short time, and yet it
already enjoys patronage far greater than even
the most sanguine expectations of its enterprising
protector. 1t furnishes constant employment for
six seven hands, and turns out work of superior
mould and finish. The manager is contemplating
early visit to San Francisco, for the purpose of
adding more machinery to the works, and estab-
fishing the institution upon still larger basis of
operation. Read the advertisement in another
