The statement is seml-otlclally made
that the respectable sum of $4,000, OOO,-
600 will be expended in paying the pen
sioners now carried upon the roll before,
according to the law of probabilities. the

debt Of nature. At that rate we shall
not be embarrassed as a nation by an en-

The increasing attention which ap-
pears to be drawn in Spain to the subject
Of slavery in Cuba is not unlikely to lead
to important legislation by the Spanish
Cortez on that subject, which, having
once begun in earnest, will not stop short
of ultimate emancipation and the en-
reimbursement of the slaves, with all the
rights and privileges of Spanish citizens.
The effect Of such a measure upon the
enormous between the United
states and Cuba could not tail to be
very important, and although it might
seriously diminish that commerce, it
would undoubtedly give a great impulse
to the production Of sugar in Louisiana,
Florida, Mississippi and Texas.

A Street-Car Romance.

"Oh! how are you? It's long time
since I've seen you," exclaimed fine
looking gentleman to the conductor as
he jumped aboard Troy street-car the
other day. The conductor responded
like an old friend, and remarked that it
was nearly two years since they had
met. The gentleman went through to
the front platform to smoke his cigar,
and the car went on. Tenyears ago one
oppressive summer night the same gen.
tleman, who was then and is now O
dealer in teas and spices in New York,
was guest at the Troy House. He
asked the clerk If there were any amuse-
ments that evening, and, receiving a
negative answer, inquired where he
could find cool spot to spend an
hour or two. The clerk advised
O ride on the street cars to Abba
and back. The gentleman boarded a
car. Next to him sat young lady, the
daughter of poor but respected En-
ghshman. The young lady was not very
young, neither very handsome, but was
attractive and bright. Her occupation
was school-teaching. A remark by the
gentleman led to an informal converse
ton, which became so interesting that
when the young lady's residence was
reached she was not aware of it until
the conductor called her attention to
the fact. After she had gone the gen.
tleman asked the conductor who the
lady was. The conductor, who had
supposed the two were old friends, gave
the young woman's name. Said the
gentleman, 'I would like to meet her
again. am a widower with two
children, andlive In New York. have
never met lady in my life who looked,
talked, and acted so much like my wife
as the young woman l accident
ally met on your car" The con-
ductor taking an interest III
the romantic case, answered the
varied questions of the widower, and
finally agreed to take his card to hei
and ask for an interview at her home on
the following evening. On the follow
ing evening q formal introduction took
place, which was followed six months
later by a marriage, investigation ot
the gentlemen's statements concerning
his standing having verified them IL
every detail. The former widower now
has five children and happy home il
all respects. He was recently paying
visit to his parents-in-law. We mus
not omit to state that after the wedding
the bridegroom met the accommodating
conductor, and said that the latter
might expect to receive chest of choice
tea as little personal token. The con-
ductor, who is not only man OF sturdy
common sense, but also man OF bluff
independence, politely begged that no
such favor be extended to him. "For, "

The Chinese Students.


Here is another story about the Chi
nese students who we're called home
from the United States because they
were having too good time here:
There have been conflicting reports re-
garding the treatment of the Chinese
students who were ordered back to
China several months ago since their
arrival home. A letter just received
from one of the brightest of the boys,
who was in the head quarters at Hart
ford, says that upon arriving at Shang-
hal the students we're all treated very
coolly, and they we're all placed in a
damp, dirty school,house, the doors to
which were nailed up with the exception
of front door, which was guarded by
soldiers. Even those who had homes
were not permittedto go outside. There
they staid for two weeks, when, by the
intercession of influential friends, they
were permitted to Gye elsewhere. They
were divided into three divisions, 10 re-
naming at Shanghai, 27 going to Tient-
sin, and IL to Foochow. The writer of
the letter is one of the Tientsin COM
pany, the members o.. which are en-
gagged in different studies. He says
the school they occupy is surrounded
by high mud wall and several canals;
that the boys are not allowed to go out
side the wall, or even 10 visit friends in
another school which is in the same in
closure; that the whole situation is de-
cidedly prison-like. There was some
expectation OF the time the letter was
written that more freedom would be
permitted.

with the groom. Possibly for the rea-
son that O fine man OH fine horse is
acknowledged to be one of the hand
soonest sights in the world, grooms seem

of fortune-eloped with good-looking
groom when her husband was out shoot
ing with her brother, and they are now
in Canada; and this month young

station, by appointment, her fathers
coachman, and they went off together.
Their disappearance was not known till
ths-next day, and by that time they
we're on their va to the Cape n the

the matter worse is that the man leaves
