Another class of pensioners is compos'
ed of those dependent upon those who
fell in the war. Of these, fathers and
mothers receive So per month, and the
widows S. per month aud 50 per
month for each child under l6 years of
age. The dependents of dead officers
receive pension in proportion to the
rank the deceased hell. The sum paid
out On Tuesday by the Pension Agent

Greatest Things.

The greatest thing in the world is
the Falls of Niagara; the largest cav
ern, the Mammoth Cave of Kentucky
the largest river, the Mississippi
1000 miles in extent; the largest val
ley, that of the Mississippi-ts area,
5000, 900 square miles; the greatest
city park, that of Philadelphia, con-
tanning 2,70O acres; the greatest
grain port, Chicago; the biggest lake,
Lake Superior; the longest railroad
the Pacific railroad-over 5000 miles
in extent. The most huge mass of
solid iron is Pilot Knob, of Missouri
height, $50 feet; circumference, two
miles; the best specimen of architect.
ure, Girard College, Philadelphia; the
largest aqueduct, the Croton, of New
York-length, forty and one hall
miles; cost, $l2, 100000; the longest
bridge, the elevated railway in Third
avenue, New York. 1t extends from
the Battery to the Harlem river, the
whole length of the eastern side OF
Manhattan Island, seven miles long or
nearly 10000 yards. The longest
bridge over water however, will be
that now being constructed in Russia
over the Volga at a point where the
river is nearly four miles wide. The
most extensive deposits of anthracite
coal are in Pennsylvania.

Arizona Bullion.
n. Y. Stock Report.

Assertions are made by some OF our
Colorado exchanges, that the latest
returns of the yield of the Arizona
mines for 1881, place the amount al
So, 700, 600 Instead Of $S,00O,O 600, as
was claimed would be the yield by
some friends of that territory.
The evident intention OF such re-
marks as the above, is to bellttle one
part of the country in order to draw
attention to another, as in the same
article the writer claims that the pro-
duc,ion of Colorado is at least $685.
100000, although nearly all who are
qualified to express an opinion place
the amount at about $23, 100000.
While Arizona does not equal Col
orado in the amount of bullion output
for 1881, she does stand forth IN the
list with upwards Of 100000 pro-
duction; two mines in Tombstone alone
having yielded more than the amount
credited BY the exchanges mentioned
Arizona's seven dividend-paying
companies for 1881, on capitalization
OF $5O,OOo,OOO, paid So, $40, oOOin div
blends, or little more than A per
cent. on investment, while Colorado's
seventeen companies, with a capltali-
cation OF $65, 1926, 900, paid 50, 1885, $50
or little less than Al per cent. on in
vestment. This last fact may have
had something to do with originating
the attack upon Arizona.-[N. Y.

The failure of the United States Iron and

burg, Pa, has been announced. 1t ia a joint
stock concern, with n capital OF $4,000, and
employs $50 mon. The property OF the com.
pany was heavily mortgaged in 1874. In 1875
an agreement was made by which the company
agreed annually TO pay $4,000 year, semi.
annually, and interest on the debt. This they
failed TO do. Mr.. pemmier is president OF tho
company. The total indebtedness Is about
$12b000. The company few years ago In

ture OF tin, which the recent treasury decision
has rendered practically valueless. The strike
OF the ironworkers added TO their difficulties,

stances they have been forced TO the wall.
