Pension Claims.

WASHINGTON, June 24.-Over 49,
900 Congressional letters were sent
ont by the Pension Bureau during the
last session. Inquiries were answered
regarding all sorts of matters relative
to the claims of applicants for pensions.
Claims have increased during the last
fourteen months at the rate of 5000
per month. These unsettled claims
now more than double the number at
the date of the passage of the arrears of
pending 280, 900 claims, or thereabouts.
During the six months prior to the
passage of the act, from July l, 1873 to
Jan. l, 1879, the claims filed each
month did not exceed ,250 for widows
and invalids together. The seventeen
months since the passage of the arrears
act have seen no less then $500 per
mouth placed on file. These are rapid
ly accumulating, as can readily be cal
culated, when it is known that under the
present facilities about $500 per month
can be disposed of. If means are not fur
nished to expedite this business and stop
this surplus of some 5000 per month
from piling up, 1t will be years before
the cases Of many applicants are reach
ed, and it Is doubtful if all during the

/EThe accident which resulted in
the death of Charles Tredo, aged
fourteen years, last week, was a hor-
rible one. He was picking up old
iron below the fume near the Smith
u Ketcham furniture shop and had a
rope with him. In some unexplained
way the rope caught on the horizon
tai shaft which CONVEYS power to
the shop from the fiume, and he was
drawn up and carried around at the
rate of two hundred turns q minute.
The shaft was only about eighteen inches
from the ground, and of course at
every revolution he struck the ground.
The first notice given was BY the
finging up of dirt 10 the window of
the third story where man was at
work. The shaft was stopped as soon
as possible. His arms were broken
to pieces and many bones of the body
were broken. Every rag of clothing
was stripped from him. Strange to
say he was not killed outright, but
lived from ten O'Clock in the forenoon
until eight in the evening before death
relieved him from his aufferlngs.

Paris Omnibus Horses.

Some information with regard to the
work done by the horses used by the
Paris Omnibus Company is given in
report by the stable manager of the
company. These horses enter the COM
pany's service Just as they are five
years old, and the first thing to be done
is to accustom them to the noise of
the streets and to trOt under a
heavy load The novice Is therefore
driven at first with an old horse. which
serves as a schoolmaster, and the herses
purchased are, as a rule, so good tenn
pered that there is no difficulty in har-
Messing them. The ordinary days work
of an omnibus horse is four journeys
over the line to which he belongs (thiS
line varies from two to five miles in
length but for the first month horse
is never allowed to do more than two
Journeys every other day. At the con-
clusion of the first month he does four
journeys every other day; but it is not
until he has been in the service of the
company for five or six months that he
is set to do the full work. The average
length of the service is six years; the
company having in their stables at the
present time one animal which was pur-
chased in 1860, and which has been in
work ever since. The Omnibuses,
which carry twenty-eight passengers,
weigh when full nearly four tons; and
the average distance covered in an hour
is five miles, this being inclusive Of
stoppages. The price paid for horses
ranges from 1925 to S275.

A telegram came to the Wesleyan

"A telegram came to the Wesleyan
Female Seminary at Cincinnati for Miss
Mary Beach, daughter of State Sena-
tor, saying that her father had died sud
denly of apopleXy. The school officials
gave ready assent to her speedy de-
parture, and did all they could to soothe
and assist the seemingly grief-stricken
girl. She was joined at the depot by
young man whom she introduced as her
cousin. He really was her sweetheart,
and had sent the message according to
a previous understanding with her, not
because her father was dead, for he was
not, but to enable her to get out of the
seminary and elope with him. They
were married before the fraud was dis
covered.

Apples for Food.

The London Telegraph says: lin the
food of vast numbers of people for sew
eral centuries the apple has played a
great and satisfactory part. Of all the
fruits which temperate chimes afford it
is at once the most wholesome and the
most palatable From its consumption
when ripe no evil effects result; it is
more digestible than the pear, safer
than the gooSeberry or cherry and
useful in a greater variety of ways than
all its cOmpeers put together. In early
spring it adOrns the field by its incom-
parable blossoms, enchanting the eye
by its beauty, while it fills the air
around with the most delicate of per-
fumes. Equally as the queen of the
dessert, and the cooks most constant
friend, it has the highest claim to dis
tinction. From its juice the wine of
Devonshire is made; raw, it ekes out
the breakfast of the farm labOrer;
roasted, it is unsurpassed in the deli
cious taste If affords; as the foundation
of jams, jellies, tartS and conserves in

Russia is fortifying her western from

Russia is terrifying her western from
tier with almost feverish haste and az
enormous cost. kowno and Lenczyca
are waxing into strongholds of extrsor-
binary dimensions and strength. Kowno
is destined to serve at once as the basis
of possible operations against East Prus-
STA, and rs the rallying point for resist
ance against any German invasion from
that frontier province. 1t is to consist
of a huge citadel, of several forts crown
inc the surrounding heights, and of a
teie-de-pont covering the railway bridge
over the Niemen, and protecting the
three railway lines leading to Wirbadlen,
Warsaw, and Wilma. Lenczyca will be
made a fortress of the second class and
supersede ZamOsc as one of the ''strong
places constituting the Polish Quad
rilateral. In Kieff the provisional works
erected on the heights commanding the
Dnieper are being rapidly converted in
to massive forts with stone escarpments,
and Fort Lissahora is undergoing COM
plete reconstruction. To the defenses
of Ivangorod five huge forts are being
added, two on the left bank of the Wis
tuia, and three on the right bank of the
Wieprz. Two new forts are in course
Of construction at Novo-Georgievsk.
The cost of the development given to
the inner defenses of Brest-Litowsk is APP
praised in the fertilization estimates for
1850 at the sum of E4S, 900. Magazines
are to be erected for the storing of l.
100000 pounds of biscuit, and bakery
capable of turning out $1,000 pounds Of
bread daily. 1t is proposed to complete
these gigantic preparations for West
ern war by the spring of 1882.
