ENGLANDs PENSIONERS.

An official account, demanded by
some inqnisitive and dissatisfied mem
bers of Parliament, of the sums annu-
ally paid to the royal family and other
public pensioners, has recently been
published. The statement is for the
year ending last March. The Queen, of
course, heads the list, with e406, 70S los.
3D. This is pretty salary for one year.
While we are quarleling over our
Presidept'ssalary, and hesitating whether
it shall be $685. or $4,000, England
does not grumble at giving its sovereign
100000! The Presidents salary is a
good example to compare the others we
shall mention with. The Prince of
Wales had 5000, 900, the Duke Of Edin-
burgh $125, 600, and the other two royal
Princes each $75, 900, the Duke of Cam
bridge $4,000, the Princess of Wales
$50, 900, the Princess Royal $40, 900, her
three sisters and the Duchess of Com
bridge each $50, 900, the Duchess of Teck
$4,000, and the Duchess of Mecklen-
berg-Strelitz $4,000. So much for the
royal family. Among the public pen
sioners are dozen or more retired diplo
matists with from So, 900 to $40, 900 each
three retired Lord Chancellors each
with $25, 900, six ex-Judges with about
10000 each, an ex-Speaker with the
same, and three ex-Cabinet Ministers
each with SIC, 600. Then came the Dukes
Of Marlborough and Wellington each
with $4,000, on account of Blenheim
and Waterloo, and after them a curious
lot, including old servants Of George III
and Queen Charlotte, with pensions from
$40, 900 down to 5000. Nelson's repre-
sentative gets 81, 800, and the heirs Of
the Quaker William Penn SIC, 900. These
are big figures, and tend to bewildel
ones brain.

A delightful entertainment was given
in the Town Hall, Glendale, night before
last, by the young ladies of the Presby-
terrain Church. All amateur entertain
ments given here for that matter, are of
that character, for the simple reason
that it is doubtful if more beauty and
talent could be assembled in any com
munity of ten times the population.
Glendale girls are really superb. The
following was the programme of tab

The Execution of Mary Queen of Scots
The Duel Interrupted; The Soldiers

100000 men through the Winter, and
10000 men would be sufficient to hold
the Russian positions during the season
when the roads are practically impass-
able for military purposes, and the rest
of the troops could be retired across the
Danube until Spring The question of
getting these supplies to the army is the
chief one for consideration. The scarcity
of fuel is the greatest difficulty to sur
mount. Underground barrack huts
might be sufficient to keep the soldiers
warm in connection with their heavy fur
or sheepskin coats, but for cooking puf-
poses fuel is, of course, necessity. If
the Russians can overcome the fuel diff
ficulty they can Winter in Bulgaria.

Key West, July 13.-A gentleman
who has just returned from Havana,
says it is reported, that on the 9th of
July, Gems. Maxine Gomez and Vim

force, had forced TroclIa and invaded
the Cienco Villas territory. A battle
was fought, in which over six hundred
Sraniards were said To have been
killed, among them a Brigadier Cen
eral, supposed Ia he Mendinna. Since
then another heavy encounter has taken
place and considerable trepidation pre-
vailed at headquarters here. Three
men-of-war were ordered to sea in great
haste, doubtless to relieve and pick up
isolated detachments near the coast.
The fear caused by this defeat has the
effect of fastening achievements from
Spain. Yellow fever is raging among
the 10000 brought out last winter.

A Deer with a Barb in lis Heart.


A veracious Nevada editor tells the
following tall story:
Yesterday Il great curiosity was placed
OF our table-a deer's heart containing
the flint barb of AN arrow. Last Sun
day Mr.. E. Sharp, of Arcata, was out
on Boynton's prairie OH Il deer hunt.
lie saw a large tive-point buck and
brought it down with his rifle. Taking
off the hide and securing the heart and
other rare bits he started home. On
arriving there, Mrs. Sharp boiled the
heart, and when the meal was ready
placed it on the table. In attempting
to cut the heart the knife struck against
something hard. The lady split the
heart open, and in the fleshy part the
flint barb of an arrow was found. 1t
must have been there Il long time, as
the flesh was calloused all around it,
and the scar where the barb entered is
plain to be seen.

IA association, called ON tile President
to ascertain whether the service rules
applied to persons holding Office In
various state associations. The Presi-
dent was under the impression that
these associations were simply social in
their character, but on being informed
that u large amount of political work
was done 10y them, lie emphatically
asserted that no person In government
employ would b allowed to take any
part whatever in politics. If the asso-
Citations Were of n social character
there was 10 objection To their contin-
uance. but politics must be eschewed.
He stated that no political services can
I've rendered by a government employe
at any time while he holds such posi-
ton, even though it does not interfere
with his duties. 1t is the Presidents
intention to forever divorce politics
and civil service, so far as in him lies
