PENSION PAUPERs.

From the N. Y. Tribune.
After all, there are always compensations.
II our rogues and rufhans, by dint of adher-
ence to the trade of politics, are sure In the
end of municipal or Government offices, they
are at least forced to stay in them as long as
they draw their salaries. There is scarcely
such trick possible as creeping out of the
public eye to a snug corner of retired list,
there to MUNICH at fat pension for the
rest of their lives. If we would believe the
Irish press, however, half of the peers and COM
moners in Great Britain have become greedy
Jack Herners, and have made off with
piece of Government pie, each to find a
plum for himself The estimates for II
bring to light some of the peculiar beauties
of this system, and the tender care with
which the Government provides for its
nurslipgs. Any office-holder, choosing
to retire after having served six
months, receives two-thirds of his salary
for the rest of his life. Even if
his Office is abolished as unnecessary,
his consolation is the same. The
list of these public bene6caries includes
every grade, from earls and viscounts to mes
sengers in Jail. Sturdy John Bull in any
rank appears equally ready to become pauper
provided Government is the alms-giver
Americans who are inclined to grumble at the
salaries paid to the President or Cabinet
should take few facts from these estimates
as an antidote. A door in the Ohancery Court
being closed eighteen years ago, its keeper has
received since then $32 900 for not keeping
it, clerk who was dismissed as supern1me.

simple expedient Of entering his name
twice on the list, receives not two-thirds, but
the whole of his salary. Thus even the re-
fined gold of a pension may be regilded by
little judicious shrewdness. 1t is not neoes-
sary, either that the pensioner should ever
have held the Office for whose loss he is paid.
Certain influential personages are accustomed
to make provision for their children at birth
by entering them, male and female, on the
the list of civil servants. One of these, whose
babies appeared so frequently as to exhaust
the patience of his colleagues, was forced to
provide for the last in a small way, aud en-
tered the infant, scarce week old, as ''super-
animated postman." The postman is but
lately dead, having drawn his subsidy for
eighty years.

The Chinese have some no.
tons tl.at might be advantage.
Ously adopted by Christians
The way they celebrate their
holidays is one of them. The
first thing they do is to pay off
all debts and square accounts
to a fraction. Money matters
having been thus adjusted,
they next make up old quar-.
rels, and shake hands all round.
Having thus got square pecu-
niarily and socially, they eat,
drink, and are merry, finally
winding up with a sparkling
discharge of Chinese fire-crack-
ers. This paying of debts and
the making up of quarrels is
certainly a good way to begin
a cello bration of holidays.

G. MeA. & @. r. r., visited
Macarthur last week, having
come over the proposed road
from Gallipolis by way of Lit
tie Raccoon, and returned by
way of Big Raccoon route
While here they went up the
old roadbed to within sight of
New Plymouth, and returned
to await the result of an appli.
cation which has been made
to the NJ. & @. Co. for the old
notes and profile of the engi-
neer of the S. & Ii. V. r. r.
nj. McCloud ia an engineer
of experience, and although
he has examined but a part Of
the roadbed, from what infor-
nation he can obtain togeth
er with his personal examina-
ton, he thinks the cost of com.
plotting the road ready for the
iron may safely be set inside
Of $4,000. If Vinton and

that sum OF money they de-
serve to stick in the mud 10 all
