the operations of the Cuban army during

OUR GOVERNMENT PAYING PEN,
STONS IN IREEAND

In the Irish Times published at Dub
linz of Feb. we find the following in
teresting article:
Never was a resolution more deserving
of being passed by reclamation than that
which Mr.. Sullivan proposed at the meet
ing of the Guardians of the North Dublin
Union yesterday. The resolution was a
vote of thanks to the American Consul
at Dublin, as representative of his pow
erful nation, for the generosity with
which be has sought out the widows and
children of Irish soldiers who fell in de-
Tense of the Union during the course of
the civil war. The immediate cause of
the resolution was this: In the North
Dublin Union Workhouse was a widow,
Mrs. O'Brien. Her husband had fallen in
civil wal, and after struggle she sought
refuge there. Yesterday the American
Consul informed the guardians that he
had received from the United States Pen
sion Agent at Washington a check for
ESQ Is Cd. inner favor, as arrears of pay,
and an intimatiOn that she would receive
pension besides. We are well aware
that this is not an insulated case. The ut
most pains have been taken by the United
States Government to satisfy most liber-
ally all just claims that could be discov-
cred in behalf of those whom the dead
soldier had left behind him. Wherever
any delay in the settlement of these claims
has occurred, it arose from the difficulty
of deciding to whom the money rightfuily
belonged. The bravery of the Irish
Brigade and Irish soldiers throughout the
war was conspicuous. The Government
of the United States was not unmindful of
it while the war ragged. They have laid
the dead in honOred graves, and have
since done their utmost TO relieve their
widows and orphans from the misery
which poverty entails.

OLD LADIES AND THEIR DRESS.

The very dress of old ladies is in itself
study and a revelation of character.
There are the beautiful old women, who
make themselves like old pictures by a
prOfusion of soft lace and tender grays ;
and the stately old ladies, who affect rich
rustling silks and somber velvet; and there
are the original and individual old ladies,
who dress themselves after their own
kind, like Mrs Basil Montagu and Miss
Jane Porter, and have q chachet of their
own, with which fashion has nothing to
do. And there are the old women who
wear rusty black stuffs and ugly helmet
like caps; and those who affect unifOrmi-
ty and going with the stream, when the
fashion has become national; and these
have been much exercised of late with
the chignons, and the new bOnnets. But
Providence is liberal, ane the milliners are
fertile in resources. In fact, in this as in
all other sections of humanity, there are
those who are beautiful and wise, and
those who are foolish and unloVely; those
who make the best of things as they are,
and those who make the worst, by treat
ing them as something they are not; those
who extract honey, and those who find
only poison.

MAYORS.
London (Feb. 81 Correspondence of the New York
Times
When the King of Belgium came over
to England few months ago to visit Her
Majesty the Queen, the officers of volun-
teers presented an address to His Majesty,
thanking him for the hospitality with
which he had entertained them in his
own capital the year before. The Lord
Mayor of London had also some returns
to make for fayors received, and he in
vited all the Mayors of the cities of the
United Kingdom to come and help him
do the honors of the metropolis TO the
royal visitor. They came, presented an
address, and had a wonderful banquet.
The address they presented was then In
closed in a magnificent silver casket, on
whose four sides are represented the
cities of London, Edinburg, Dublin and
Tenby, in Wales. The box has Just
been carried across the sea and pre-
sented to the King of Belgium by
the most wonderful deputation that
ever went from the United Kingdom, or,
| think any other kingdom, since the
world began. 1t consists of 145 Mayors,
most of them accompanied by their wives
The had long and rough passage across
the German Ocean, but arrived safely at
Brussels, with the casket. The municipal
authorities of Brussels received them at
the railway station, and il required fifty
carriages, and several large army wagons
for baggage, to transport them to the
quarters provided for them. The King
was obliged to move for the time to a
larger palace, that he might have room to
entertain them; and, when they had the
inevitable feast, there was not room for
the Lady MayOresses. Continental Ell
quette does not permit that ladies should
be banished to a hungry gallery to smell
the orders of the dishes the lords of crea-
ton are eating; so, while the Mayors were
eating, as only English Mayors can, their
ladies were entertained at the opera. The
accounts of the feastings, the costumes
(for they all carried their trappings of
state, making a London Lord Mayors
show multiplied by one hundred and forty
fve), and the entire invasion, are very
droll.

HOW SOME NEW YORK BELLIES
ssRAESE THE WfND.o


1t is well known that Fifth avenue Ia
dies often need more funds than it is suit
able to ask their lords for. Although the
popular definition of the word husband
still holds good, viz: "a man that does
errands and pays bills" yet sometimes a
little outside aid is necessary. To afforu
that assistance a class of gentlemanly
money lenders has been called into use,
and these men have elegant offices on
Broadway. They also wait on ladies in
their houses, and there make advances on
property at the moderate rate of two per
cent. month. Most of these ladies have
among their outfit splendid sets of dia-
mOnds, some of which are worth from
$1,000 to $4,000, and on these they can
always obtain advances. If any of them
desire to use their diamonds for an espe-
cial purpose, for instance, to attend ball
or party, they can be accommodated by
paying an extra fee and giving security.
For instance, q set of diamonds can be got
out of pawn for a single night by
substituting a camers hair shawl and pay
ing $40, and perhaps a trifle more.
Sometimes, if the party be given by the
iNuJ III luSSthOiJ thN 'uNhDlOhC1 VIII NC
among the guests, and when the hour is
up he can take the pledges with him.
Fifth avenue women get money of their
husbands whenever the latter make
''stake," and then they settle their bills;
but as, at the present time, money is very
scarce, the pawnbrokers are full of bust
ness, and reaping rich harvests On
capital of $4,000 an annual profit of
$12, 800 can be made, which is better
return than can be got from any other in
vestment, and some of these brokers have
doubled that capital in use. They are
hard set to deal with, stern and relentless,
and deaf to woman's tears and entreaties,
but they are necessity, and, therefore,
while hated and execrated, they are in
constant demand. On pledge of dia-
monds worth $1,000 loan of $500 can
be obtained. Shawls are also popular Sc
curities, and any fine articles of dress,
such as furs, velvets, etc., will bring the
cash from these harpies of sristocratic
life -... r .-
