A MOST singular inconsistency of IL g
law was taken advantage of the other
day by two boys in Philadelphia.
They had been arrested, charged with
vagrancy. and sentenced to nine
months in the House of Correction,
While on the way to the prison they
requested to be taken back to the
Judge, and their request was complied
with. When arraigned. one confessed
to be thief and tue other to be Pre- :
fessional pickpocket. On such confess
sion, and in accordance with their
demand, they were sentenced to Moya-
menslng Jail for ninety days. thus saw
ing six months imprisonment. The
fact that vagrancy il more severely
punished than wanton crime is not a
crsditable reflection on the people of
Pennsylvania.

why He Left.

Some months ago Colonel Bangs en-
gagged young fellow named Seudder as
sub-editor Of the Morning Argus. On
the day before the anniversary of Bun
ker Hill, Bangs asked Scudder if he was
familiar with that battle, and Scudder
said he was. So Bangs told Seudder he
would like him to write up a little sketch
of it for the anniversary day, and Send
der said he would try. The next morn
ing the sketch appeared in the paper,
and attracted much attention. When
Bangs saw it he called Scudder in and
said: Mr.. Scudder, didn't you tell

Childhood is the sleep of reason. "A

. Most men are afraid of bad name,
but few fear their consciences. What
we call conscience is in many instances
only a wholesome fear of the constable
There is no outward sign of courtesy
that does not rest on deep moral founda

almost as difficult to please others as
ourselves. "A good word is an easy
obligation; but not to speak i'll requires
only our silence, which costs us nothing.
We must be as courteous to a man
as to a picture, which we are willing to
give the advantage of a good Light.
COvetous men need money least, yet they
most affect it; but prodigals, who need it
most, have the least regard for it =. . To
neglect, at any time, preparation for
death, is to sleep on our post at siege !;
to omit it in old age is to sleep at an
attack. We look at death through the
cheap glazed windows of the flesh, and

fawed and cracked glass represents him
to be- The greatest man is he who
chooses right with the most invincible

Gigantic Pension Frauds.

During the last two or three weeks the
officers of the pension bureau have been
making Investigations into a series Of gil
gantic frauds in the pension service, which
in the city of Philadelphia alone are be-
heved to involve millions of dollars. It
seems that three or four sO-calIed legal
firms in that city have been the instru-
ments-whether Intentionally or the con-
trary does not appear-Of fraudulently
obtaining large amounts of money from
the treasury upon bogus pension claims.
The evidence Of their completely in the
frauds, however Is 50 strong that the de-
partment has ordered their suspension as
pTacticing claim agents before it. and in
future the government will not have any
business transactions whatever with them.
The amount Of money out of which the
government has been swindled Is esti-
mated at between IS, 000, 900 and 81 ,OO0,-
GOO, but there are no data in the pension
office by which the exact sum can be de-
termined. When, ten or twelve days ago,
the suspicion arose, all the claims of the
Philadelphia pensioners were suspended,
and orders were issued to pay no claim
whatever without orders from this city.
Since then large force of clerks has been
employed investigating every case, and
those which have been found to be correct
have been ordered to be paid. The depart
ment has reason 20 believe that frauds OF
a similar character have been Perpetrated
in several other states, notably in Illinois
as recently telegraphed to the World
against the pension agents, of which grave
charges have been preferred. It is the
intention of the bureau to make a thor
ough examination of the pension list il
