The Difference.

If q man is on the cars and sees a
young lady he doesn't know from Eve
and never saw before, trying to let
down the window, he throws down his
paper, takes off his hat, bows himself
double, smiles clear round to his after
collar-button, says sweetly, "Allow
metz and closes the window with grace
full skill and charming courtesy. If his
sister says, Tom, won't you please let
this window down for me?" he tucks
his paper savagely under his arm, and,
stalking across the aisle, stands on her
feet while he bangs the window down
with slam that fills her face and hair
with dust. And if his wife, holding the
baby on one arm and lunch basket on
the other, tries to let down the window,
and says timidly and suggestively, go
dear; don't believe can get itdown,"
he grunts, says, "EhP OH" and buries
himself still deeper in his paper.-Bar-

The Hudson Bay Packet.

Communication is maintained be-
tween every post in the vast territory
and headquarters during tho long
months of winter by means of the Great
Northern Packet, which leaves Fort
Garry annually about the 10th Deem
Der. The appliances for the carriage of
this important mail are snow-shoes and
dog sledges. The latter are two in
number, drawn by four dogs each. Up
on each of these sledges there are bound
pair of stoutly constructed boxes,
measuring about three feet in length by
10 inches deep and IA wide. These
wooden mail-bags, when properly pack
ed, contain an astonishing amount Of
written and printed matter. The dogs
run at regular trot, the drivers ac-
companying them. on foot at the rate Of
about 40 miles per day. The frozen
channels of the rivers and lakes form
the general roadway, and Lake Winni-
peg is trayersed to Fort Carlton, near
the eastern end of the Saskatchewan
Valley, the chief center of the winter
packet arrangements. Here the entire
mail is overhauled and repacked, branch
packets being sent off east and west,
while the Great Northern Packet jour-
neys on to the remote arctic regions to
which it is consigned. From the morn
ing when the packet left the Office at
Fort Garry to the evening when the SOL
itary dog train, last of many, drags the
same packet, now reduced to a tiny
bundle, into the inclosure of La Pierre's
house, more than q hundred nights have
been passed in the great northern for
ests; over 5000 miles have been trav-
ersed; score of different dog trains
have hauled it, sending off at long in
tervals branch dog packets to the right
and left. 1t was midwinter when it
started; it arrives just as the sunshine
of mid-May is beginning to carry faint
whisper of coming spring to the valleys
of the Upper Yukon.-H. NJ. Robinson,

A Comfortable Income.

Lord Derby is now one of the half
dozen wealthiest men in England in the
sense of having an enormous amount of
spending money. His income is little
short of q million. He is childless, and
his wife has jointure of $4,000 a year
from her late husband, Lord Salisbury.
Unlike many other great noblemen, his
resources are not depleted by having
various places to keep up, for except
villa at Kent, he has no rural abode save
Knowsley Hall. He has, moreover, no
tastes, cares nothing for sport,
and rarely enters his stables. In fact,
he is just one of those who would have
been as happy, or happier, as an active,
hard working professional man. His
only brother, Col. Stanley, now Secre-
tary for War, inherited fortune from
his father of 100000. Lord Derby and
his father had few tastes or sympathies
in common, and Col. Stanley was the
favorite son. The house of Stanley and
the citizens of Liverpool have for long
time been on the most friendly terms,
though interchanges of courtesies be-
tween them are few and far between.
Lord Derby takes his title from the hun
bred of West Derby, in the County of
Lancashire, not from the county or town
of the name in midEngland. The
senior branch of the Stanleys is repre-
sented in direct line by Sir John Stan
ley, who, like all his ancestors, is n
Roman Catholic. The ancient family
seat, Hooton, in Cheshire, was sold
about 20 years ago to Liverpool bank
er, in consequence of the extravaganza
of Sir Johns brother. 1t had been SOC
years in the family.

A Mastery Stroke of Genius.

him, entered Detroit photographers
establishment and explained that he
would like to have about one photograph
taken, but on learning the price he con-
cluded to invest in tin-type. After
taking his seat in the chair he shut up
one eye, drew his mouth around one
side, stuck up his nose and patiently
waited for the operator, whose aston
ishment caused him to exclaim:
"Good gracious! but you don't want
to look that way to get a picture. No

MIR. MARTIN was a conductor on an
Iowa railroad. He is church member,
and at q recent church revival meeting
told what the Lord had done for him.
Among other things, he said he ran his
caboose car from Cedar Rapids to Potts
vile without flange on one wheel. He
had faith the Lord would keep the ca
boose on the track, and He did. 1t was
not long after he received an epistle
from the General superintendent, which
began thus: "Young man, l don't
believe the Lord has any thing to do
with running freight trains," and now
Martin has no caboose to run on the
faith principle.

CURRENT TOPICS.

In response to a letter addressed to
him by Secretary Schurz inquiring what
amount of funds can be made available
monthly for the payment of arrears due
upon pensions which were allowed prior
to Jan. 25, 1873, the Secretary of the
Treasury states that including the
amount already paid 90, 100000 will be
available prior to July 1, and $4,000
600 monthly thereafter. At this rate
nearly the whole of the next fiscal
year will be required to complete the
payment of these arrears. In view of
this condition of affairs the Commits
sionsr of Pensions has issued circular
letter to applicants for arrears, stating
that on account of the limited amoun3
of money available each month for the
payment of arrears, a comparatively
small number of cases only can be adj
iusted monthly, and therefore some
delay may occur in the settlement of
