Government !salo,ics ia En05d"".

The London correspondent ofthc New
York Times gives some interesting in
formation in regard to the Government
salaries paid in England. 1t seems
from his statements that, il many cases,
great deal of money l. paid for very
little work. lie says:
Salaries are not so high comparative
~ as pensions. The places in the royal
household, honorable sinccurcs, a,c a
sort of pension or reward for political
services. These change with the
changes of Cabinets. Her Majesty's
Steward, an Earl, gets $4,000 n year
Ire surcr, who pays the market bills,
or his clerk for him, SIS, 000 Master OF
the Household, Major Domo, $500 !;
Keeper of the Privy purse-a mythical
matter, 5000; Queens private : ccrc-
tary, who could not be trusted with the
mythical purse, or other functions,
$1,000 Master OF the Horse, $4,000 ;
Master of the Observation-Disclosures rally
are some of these, though tie Earl OF
Cork r,ay never see thCm--SS 300 :;
Groom of the Robcs-AIajOr-Gcn
Seymour, who personally or by deputy
attends to Her Maicsty's ro.,al petit
-coats-S4,000.
These are only a few Of them, for
there are nearly Il thousand persons at
tached to the royal household, and paid
for rendering some real, bit mostly
imaginary, services to Her Majesty. AS
usual. those who do most Get the least
pay.
The members Of the Cabinet, for the
most part, work for their money. The
Lord Chancellor has the largest plum
i'm the pudding--$50, 600 year and the
pension to follow. Mr.. Gladstone Mr..
Lowe, Mr.. Bruce, Mr. Cardwell Ears
Clarendon AID Granville and the Duke
of Argyle get the same as the President
of the United Statcs-S25, 900 year;
Mr.. Childcrs, SD ,500 MI. Fortesquc,
10000; Marquis of Hartin ton, SO, 800;
Earl DeGrey, Earl Kimberly, Mr.
Bright and Mr.. Goschen, so 900. What
seems to me the hardest thing in Eng
land is the very small pay given to some
who woIk hard and the great sums
squandered on idlers. There are scores
of persons in the pay of the Foreign
Office, at high salaries, who have not
done a days service in 20 years. One
man, who has received 100000, has not
been consulted since 1864 another, who
has lived in absolute idloncss for ii
years, has rcceiv ed S150,000. There are
numerous cases of this kind. A man,
ever so clever and useful, is set aside by
some Foreign Secretary, perhaps for Il
relative or tavOritc of his own, and goes
upon the retired list when 80 years old,
and lives till So receiving from $1,000
to $40, 900 a year to live where he likes
so years enjoying his otium cum digni-
tate at the expense of people who work
very hard and starve a little at times to
pay their rates and taxes.

Rem irEa6ie Forgery.

One of the most sliillful forgeries that
ever occurred in New York City was
perpetrated upon the Bank of tic State
OF New York on Monday afternoon. 1t
was evidently planned and executed by
men who were we'll versed in the mode
of doing banking business in ogue in
the great firm of Jay Cooke & Co. The
following are the circumstances as rela-
ted by the New York papers, 1.-THE
forged checks were five in number, the
highest calling for $4,000 and tie lowest
for 5000, the aggregate being $4,000,
and were executed on pc. feet fac smile
copies of the check forms used by the
firm. They were presented at the Bank
and at once paid, all the signatures be-
ing such perfect forgeres that none but
one perfectly familiar with the sign
manual of the supposed signcr could
detect them. The skill and knowledge
Of the forgers were more clearly shown,
however, in their perfect adherence to
the rules which govern the firm of JAY
Cooke & Co., as we'll as those in force
at the bank. Jay Cooke & Co., have
four or five cashiers whose duty it is to
indorse checks bearing the firm sigma
tIre over to the person to whom the
money is to paid. Thus, if a check
bearing the signature of the firm should
be presented at the bank, without the
Endorsement of the cashier, it would
not be paid. To successfully carry out
their plan, therefore, the forgers made a
triple forgery, first signing the name of
the firm, then the Endorsement to the
holder, and, to make assurance doubly
sure, appended another signature of the
cashier of each check, identifying the
holder. This last precaution was taken
because it is a custom of the firm to ar
range with their bank never to cash II
check for over IS 900 unless the holder
is identified. AS the teller saw the
cashiers Identification of the holder ON
each of the checks, he entertained no
doubt of their gcnuineness, and proba-
bly, supposed that the holder was a stran-
ger in the city. The employees of Jay
Cooke & Co., pronounce the forged sig
natures to be aim )st perfect fac SMILES
of the original, and devoid of that stiff
ness which generally characterize, for,
seres.

children, and fled to the woods, leaving
the savages to finish plundering the
house.
In another place woman had the
bOldness to unbraid them for distressing
helpless women and children, telling
them that if they had the spirit and
soul of warriors, they would cross the
river and fight the men at the fort. The
Indians lore it very patiently, only
saying: "Squaw must not say too
much"
They entered t! house of Mis-. E., a
woman very untidy in her personal
appearance They seized Grand de-
spite her screams of terror, carried her
to the creek near by and gave her a
thorough ablut on, warming her that
if they even caught her SO filthy again
they would kill her!
Another woman, having her young
son taken away with other little boys,

children, and entreatcd them to give up
her little boy, which they did. She

Detection of Senator Sprague.

Senator Sprague of Rhode Island has just
been re elected to the senate for six years,
and can now afford to talk honestly
Hitherto he has been the pet of the rerub-
lican senator's Last week he said:
The power that controlled the action oil
this senate Is the banker advice and judy
ment, and nobody else's. The men VIC
have assumed to dictate and determine the
financial policy OF this country know no
more about the requirements, about the
necessities, about the character Of the en-
Payments of the people of this country
than if they mover lived.
You have lost yonr commerce. You
ask the reason for it and there is not a
man in this chamber that gives sali>tac
tory reason for the loss, except and because
we are not paying specie for our bills. The
reason is plain and simple that the con
struclion of your treasury is such that you,
in common with the capitalists OF this
country. are Specializing upon every indus.
try and upon every iaborlng occupa>
ton.
And what position do We occupy to-
day Is there peace at the south Is
there 4 spirit of harmonious influence
here In this senate towards those people
Is there government among those people
Do their occupations prosper? Are they
not in state Of chronic revolution p? And
have you not had four long years in which
to assure peace among that pelpie :? l.
there justice in this land Is there indl-
vidnal protection Is there citizen pro-
lection in thi. land of liberty.
l have mentioned heretofore that there
was nothing grander in the history of this
age than the conduct o. the British gov
ernment when she dispatched her armies
to distant Abyssinia to vindicate the per
sonal liberties of few simple English Cit
liens. Who is there in the assembly that
would ask for like action on the part Of the
government of the United States ?"
