A Poor Attenspl,

Snow fell yesterday In little quantities.
1t would therefore be in order to remark
that the schoOl-boy cries: st SHOWS :
hurrah ~ and that his shout Is ringing
through parlor and hall. 1t would also
be in order for that solitary sleigh man OF
our city to get his machine out, with the
three bells he jingles, and 60 to work in
the mud. When We were yOung-a time
back in the past several ysars--we used
to like the first snow OF winter, but not
one of the first SHOWS we saw In those
days WAS as weak as the first snow dem.
onstration of yesterday in this city. 1t Is
true. we started into the business OF life
closer to the North pole than Cairo Is,
but there can be no excuse, In our Opin-
ion, for the pitiiul attempt made by the
Winter yesterday to indulge In a little
season OF showing. II was rs great a
failure as-wcll, Ms will be the attempt
OF innocent ID. w. to make himself q
straight whisky saint instead of a crooked
whisky sinner. Just about that much OF
1 failure.

The Grand Union, OF New York.

One of the most popular and literally
patronized of the New York Hotels is
the Grand Union, opposite the Grand
Central depot. 1t is commodious hotel,
having over $50 elegantly furnished
rooms, elevator, steam aud all modern
improvements. Its close proximity to
the depot saves its guests carriage hire
and baggage expressage, which of itself
equals days board.
The appointments, service, cuisine and
all other features of the Grand Union are
strictly tirst-class, and OF the best, while
the rate Of charges are lower than at any
other first-class house In the city. All
parts Of the city are easily reached by
street cars and stages that continually
pass the Grand Union. Parties visiting
New York during the holidays. for max
ing purchases, will tiud this the most
convenient hotel in tina city. 1t

This is n new style of picture now be-
ing produced by VIM. Winter, the artist,
of this city. These pictures are creating
much interest In all the principal Eastern
and Western cities, being altogether new.
They are unlike photographs, being
raised and beautifully cnameled over the
entire surface, soft in tone, but distinct in
the lights and shades. No one who sees
them fails to admire them. or TO give the
artist an order. We have been shown q
number Of pictures of well-known ladies
and gentlemen Of the city. and have no
hesitation in pronOuncing them perfectly
splendid. We would therefore advise all
who take interest in such matters or de-
sire pictures, to call upon MIR. Winter ut
his gallery and examine his work in this
new branch of the sladow-capturing art.

IuE PENsION BUREAU.


During the last yesr II ,aj1 names were
al led TO the rolls and 1871 were dropped
tbcrcfrom, showing net decrease of ,420.
Bu', while the number OF pensioners has
decreased, the annual amount due on the
pension rolls has increased S4,4.3,3,3. This
l. caused by the increased average rate OF
pensions viii h by the liberal legislation OF
Congress increased from S9.026 in 1872 to
slO,3Ol in 1919, To each individual pension
er an increase In the average of fifteen per
cent. In the three wears during the year
ending June 30, 1873, there was paid on ac-
count OF pensions, including the expenses
OF disbursement, SO ,S'l lG, being s9,lO9-
W less than was paid the preceding year.
This reduction in amount OF expenditure ;
was produced by the decrease in the
amount OF arrrarages due on allowed claims
and on pens ions, the rate Of which was in
creased by the legislation OF the preceding
session OF Congr, -. At the close OF the
last fiscal year there were on the pension
rolls IA SCI persons Of !whom 2l0 ,36j. werc
army pensioners, lOo.i's beipg invalids and
lOi, SSj widows and dependent relatives;
3, 400 were navy ps nsioners, of whom l,8 Il
were inyalids and ,7s4 widows and depend
ent relatives: 81 ,03S were pen toner's Of the
war of 1872 1850 of whom were survivors
and j.. l63 were widows. 1t 10 estimated
that 500, 535,OO6 will be required for the
payment of pensions for the next fiscal year
a amount s0G5,000 less than the estimate
| for the present year.
GEOLOGICAL EXPLORATIONS.
| The geological explorations have been
prosecuted with energy during the year,
covering an area of about 10000 square
miles in the Territories of Colorado, Utah
and New Mexico, developing the agricul'

interesting scientific and Typographical de-
tails OF that region.
