The Arabs PF0OE.

A Frenchman who had won high rank
among men of science, yet who denied the
God who Is the author of all science, was
crossing the great Sahara IN company with
an Arab guide. he noticed with sneer,
that at certain times his guide, whatever
obstacles might arise, put them all aside,
and kneeling on the burning sand, called on
bis God. Day after day passed, and still
the Arab never failed; till at last one even-
ing the philosopher when he rose from his
knees, asked him with q contemptuous
smile: "How do you know their is God p
The guide fixed his beaming eye on the
scofer for q moment in wonder, and then
said solemnly, Chow do l know their is
God9 How do know that man, and not
camel, passed my hut last night in the
darkness? Was 1t not by the print Of his
feet in the sandl Even so''-and he point
ed to the sun, whose last rays were flashing
over the lonely desert-''that footprint is
not that of man."

Pensioners.

The Hon, J. A. Bentley, Commissioner OF
Pensions, has furnished to the Secretary OF
the Interior the annual report exhloltlng
the operatiops of the Pension Bureau Tor tne
last fiscal wear. The total number OF pen
sione,s on the roll June 30, 1875, was 5@4,-
S22, or 1854 less than the total numoer Que s
ear previously. The ron of army lnValla
pensioners was increased by the addl'lon o,
3, ,912 names during the year and NUMBERED
on the 3Oth oflast June 1O5, ,47S. Ihe num-
her of widows and minors on The rol! deceas,
ed 3,715, leaving 1O5 1856 names. The to,a1 ssa
number of survivors of the War OF 1919
horne on the roll at the close OF me iast
fiscal wear was Is ,S75, showing that ,669 had
died during the twelve months. The total
amount paid out for pensions during the
venr was S2ss, ,351 500, leaving balance OF
about 81 ,65O, 900 not drawn from the appro
nriatiou, There was filed during the year
42, SIT pension claims of various characters,
original and for increase OF PENSIONS VI
which Il, ,451 were adjudlcated by allowance
and 10. 1872 by rejection-total, N,ooa, - or
onlv al per cent. Of the number filed. ihis
accumulation of claims is not only auuins
greatly to the labor OF the once year Wy
year, but the great delay In their settlenlen.
is causing much complaint, and' IN many
cases, is undoubtedly working hardship ano
Injustice to the claimants. Commissioner
Bentley attributes thiD condition OF at1airs
nartlv 10 the smallness Of the force OF tht
surgeon Generals office, partly to the lncon
venent rooms occupied until ]ateiy, ahe
narilv to the defective system OF ad]udlca-
