PENSIONS, AND TO WHOM PAID.-THE Sol
DIERs SINCE 1775.-The following facts in rela-
ton to pensions have been compiled from dats
prepared for the report Of the Commissioner
Of Pensions
" Toe aggregate annual amount Of pensions of
widows and dependent relatives upon the roll June
80, 1871, was less than on the 30ih of June, 1870
This was owing to the lessening Of individual
pensions by minors reaching the age Of sixteen
years There were 1923 Revolutionary sol
ders pensoue1 for services, ! l ,30S soldiers of
the Mexican war, and 1903 ,79l soldiers of the
war OF the rebellion pensioned as invalids. It's
thought that the annual expenditures for pensions
for other than the latter class have nearly
reached their maximum, and that during the
next ten years they will gradually and materially
decrease.
The following is statement, compiled with
great care in the Pension Office, of the total
number of soldiers serving in the wars, &C,
which the nation has engaged in since l775. 1t
will appear in the forthcoming report of the
Commissoner of Pensions:

Responded to by Gen. Thomas, who was
greeted with hearty applause. After expressing
his attachment to the regiment, General
Thomas said that the Eighth was no ordi-
nary regiment 1t Was organized under pecu-
liar circumstances for special service at the
South, under Gen. Butler, whose reputation as
A daring officer was known to all, and 1t was
expected that the service would be OF more than
common risk and Importance. 1t was
composed of picked men, stout IN frame
and stout in spirit. Every profession and every
trade was represented in its ranks. The regl-
ment was raised in the winter, and went into
camp in deep snow. Two years later, January
5, 1868. about four hundred Of the men re-en-
listed amid snow and mud so fearful that Ten
eral Franklin remarked that none but very good
men would have re-enlisted under such circum-
stances 1t was the lot Of the regiment to be iso-
lated from other Vt. regiments The 'th went

The London Telegraph of the 10th says,
edltorially: "There is no longer much room
to doubt that to the misfortune of a de-
! tlclent harvest will be added the disaster of
| the cattle plague. The foot and mouth
disease is spreading among the horned stock
of the Kingdom with deplorable rapidity.
Northamptonshire, ,Cambridgeshiro and
Huntingdonshire are the three English
counties chiets,.ssseffiisst stcd, and it is 80
with almost absolute certainty tr,y$As-..
present outbreak had its origin in the St.
Ives markets. Northamptonshire reports
this week one hundred and thirty-fye fresh
farms attacked, as against eighty-two last
week. There are ffty-one infected in
Cambrldgeshire. Liecestershire sends
word that the pest is spreading fast. Wor-
cester announces that in thirteen districts
there have been one thousand three hunsrdd
and forty-eight animals stricken, and out
of that number only sixty-nine recovered.
Yorkshire Is implicated in the mischief,
which has spread beyond the border as far
north as Berthshire, although the type ap
pears milder in the North, To give a
clearer idea of the ravages, we need only
cite report from one district. 1t is that
OF Preston, where down to Saturday last
the number Of cattle attacked was four
thousand eight hundred and seventv-four.
According to official returns, the foot and
mouth disease exists in seventy-three Brit
ish counties"

The Baptist Standard of Chicago, and
the leading organ of that denomination for
the West, speaks in the following high
terms of Senator Doolttle and his ''compe-
tency to fill any Office to which the sut-
frages of his fellow citizens may call HIM:
Ex-senator j. K. Doolittle has been
nominated by the Democratic party IN
Wisconsin as their candidate for Governor.
As the Standard is neither the organ nor
the representative of any political party it
is open to us to express our high regard for
Judge Doolittle, personally, and our be-
lief that whatever any may think Of his
views or his course upon public questions
he is entitled to mention among the very
few connected with the administration of
public affairs in this country, whose p =
sonal integeity is without stain. 1t Is
known that after twelve years as United
States Senator,he retired from that post of
/ service poorer man than when he assumed
I it. OF his competency to fill any Office to
which the suffrages of his fellow-citizens
NAV call him, no one will make any ques-

The irish in the United States now out.
number the Irish in Ireland. SO saws the
late British census.-This is a curious fact
we may search history in vain for its paral-
lei. When people forsake their native
land IN such multitudes there must be a
genuine cause for their emigration How
ever, we are composite nation; though the
native born Americans SO far, so very far,
exceed IN number the aggregate of all our
citizens of foreign birth put together, that
no sensible man need entertain a moments $
dlsquict en- that subject at any rate. Be
sides this, it is a well known fact that the
native children of alien parents, in this
country, are more intolerant Americans
than the children born of American parents,
and annually outnumber fourfold the annu
al total Of immigration.

The performance Of an English
child actor, just arrived, at the Holt
day Street Iheater, in Baltimore, is
thus spoken of: "Percy Roselie is a
most extraordinary young actor. AS
Shylock, lie shows Il cultured apprccia-
ton of that great character, and a force
of representing it that would do credit
to the most matured and experienced
Shakespearean. Frequent bursts OF
applause from the audience, last night,
as he flushed the defamation of any
portion of the lines, testified to hearty
appreciation of this little gcntleman's
genius. In make up and stage action
he faithfully carries out all the details
of the part. The first sensation of en-
riosity and amusement which is felt
when he Grst comes upon the stage is
soon lost in IA genuine admiration for
his powers"

s.KIss Me, MAMMA."-"Kiss me,
mamma. before / Sleep" How simple
a boon, yet how soothing to the little
snpplicant is that soft, gentle kiss
The little head sinks contentedly on
the pillow, for all is peace and happi-
ness within. Tie bright eyes close,
and the rosy lip is reveling in the
bright and sunny dreams of innocence,
Yes kiss it, mamma, for that good
night kiss will longer in memory when
the giver lies moldering in the grave
The memory of a gentle mothers kiss
has cheered many a lonely wanderers
pilgrimage, and has been the beacon
light to illuminate his desolate heart
for remember, life has many stormy
billow to cross, many a rugged patti
to climb, with tllorns to pierce; and
we know not what is in store for the
little one so swcetly slumbering, with
no marring care to disturb its peaceful
dreams. The parched and fevered lip
will become dewy again as recollection
bears to the sufferers couch mothers
l0ve-a mothers kiss. Then kiss your
little ones ere they sleep; there is a
magic power in that kiss which will
endure to the end of life.
