ACCORDING to the legs alive executive
judicial appropriation bill n the first of
April last there were 25s,55 tension cases
unadjudicated, and with the present num-
Der of clerks it would take at least eight
years to dispose of them. The increase of
clerks provided for is as follows: In the
pension bureau, from 742 to 1859; in the
surgeon-generars Office, from 257 to 1865; in
the adjutant-generaPs Office, from 423 to
500; and in other Offices where a portion of
the work is to be done for 60 additional
clerks. The additional cost Of this increase
will be in round numbers $1,750,000. In
connection with this bill the commissioner
of pensions submits estimates. of the amounts
which will be needed to satisfy claims for
the next four years; for the year ending
June 80, 1888, 100000; June 80, 1884,
$l50,000, 200; June 80, 1885, $100,000,00o;
June 80, 1886, SIS, 900, 900, or the startling
total of 1926, 900, 900. OF this amount at
least $300,O00,000 are for arrears. He esti-
mates that at the close of the year 1886
there will be about $780, 900 pensioners. Up
to the first of April last there had been filed
800, 562 claims, of which 460,s27 had been
admitted and $4,000 rejected. Of the re-
naming 26S,554 pending on that date and
mentioned above, 217, 1852 if admitted will
be entitled to arrears.

OSCAR WILDE

A prominent New York
Artist photographed a
short time ago Mr.. Oscar
Wilde, the Esthetic apostle,
In many positions which
are very characteristic, as
being explanatory of the
doctrines of this new dis
ciple. Among many OF the
compositions which were
emblematic, were some,
with the dim and shadOWy
patterns of sunfiOWers and
lilies ON the walls, and used
as accessories i'm the interi-
Ors, and when exterior
compositions were used.
then the artist was equally
happy In their arrangement
The proof of the negatives
gave Mr.. Wilde the greatest
satisfaction, as does the
Esthetic and other poses OF

CANT studio is located in

The Death Cry in Connemara


There was no sound of merriment, not even
a voice, from the house. All was still, as if in
expectation, when there came from it a long
piercing, mournful wail-u-lu-lu! 1t rose to a
high tremulous cry, filling the misty air with
an indescribable thrill and sinking into low
moan. 1t was thrice repeated. and then fol-
lowed by rapid recitation in Gaelic in sus-
tanned key. The cry seemed the last excess of
anguish and lamentation, and, although 1
knew that in one sense it was artificial, it over
came me with an actual shudder. 1t was the
"keen."
After the recitative had ceased way was
made for us into the room where the corpse
lay. It was large though low, and around the
bare rough walls candles were stuck up with
Jumps of clay. Its onlJiornaments were re-
igious picture and faded Autograph of the
"Liberator." In the centre d couple of stools
supported a coffin of implanted deal. No
glass protected the white, wan features of the
corpse from the tobacco cloud that flled the
air, eddyiDg around the candles and under the
cobwebs of the thatch. The principal mourn
ers sat at the side of the coffin, and consisted of
the son, stout farmer of fifty, and his wife,
and a half dozen children in youth and girl
hood. The room was filed, except in space
Immediately at the head of the coffin, with all
the neighbors for miles around, seated on
benches, stools, and turf kistes, or ON the un-
even floor. An oppressive quletude and So
lemnity reigned upon the countenances of all.
The faces of the assemblage were characters
tic of the locality. They were sharper in out
line and wilder in expression than their con-
geners of the SOUTH Their features were more
regular, with darker compilations and hair,
and less of tire Milesian outline. Some of
them had the dark, flashing eye and the regu-
lar oval of the Spanish face, and there was the
carriage and turn of the head Of the jewellers
of the mountain. They were poorly clad, and
few of the women had the comfortable long
blue cloaks of the southern farmers wives or
the cap with its frill of lace around the shining
hair Some of the men were ragged beyond
description, and the suggaun or hay rope
around the waist was all that kept their gar
ments in any degree of consistency. Several
of the men and women also were barefooted,
although the night earth and air were both
damp and chill.
The keener sat ON low stool at the head of
the coffin When she had finished her recita-
tive, as we entered she had drawn the hood of
her cloak over her face and slight rocking
of her body gave the only sign of life. 1t was
as if she were meditating under the excess of
grief After silent interval of some minutes,
she threw back the hood of her cloak, reveal
ing the pale face of woman of about forty,
with fxity of look as of one in trance.
Without lifting her eyes from the face Of the
corpse she repeated her tremulous cryand con-
tinued with rapid recitative, apparently ad-
dressed to the dead rather than the audience,
and then subsidized again into silence.

What Mr.. Wilde Says About Him
self
[Corr. Manchester Examiner.l

[Corr Manchester Examiner.]
Mountain climbing is not subject of gener-
al interest, and some of my readers may be
glad to turn from Pixies Peak to hear word
about Oscar Wilde the Great. I met Mr..
Wilde few days ago in Kansas. and had q
long conversation with him. In the Eastern
cities his photograph was most conspicuous,
and Mr. Wilde told me that the demand for it
far exceeded any possible supply. He was en-
thusiastic about the kindness he had received
In many of the Western towns, particularly
Cincinnati, Chicago and San Francisco, and
spoke most highly of the culture and lntelli-
gence of the leading people he had met in
those cities. In New York he had reception
given to him such as in England is rarely given
to prince, and he has promise that on his
return an evening party shall be given in his
honor, when all the gentlemen shall discard
the odious trousers of dull respectability and
assume the more becoming substitute OF the
aesthetic future. Mr.. Wilde told me that in
the West people bad Travelled long distances
and waited weary hours ct railway stations 10
see him pass. He was compelled, even when
fatigued, to show himself on the platforms,
and presume the farmers went back TO work
cheered and refreshed by the phantom OF de-
light on which they had Toasted their hunger
ing eyes. What the American press appears
10 r6S9uG ID ludb OoOcsh w lieAO oaONiN
achieved such position in their country with
out his being generally looked up to at home.
The idea that he is fooling their public seems
to irritate them extremely, but in my opinion
this is most erroneous opinion. Oscar Wilde's
message is one which is really wanted in the
United States, and without some grotesqueness
and exaggeration he would not have secured
hearing.
He gave me remarkable illustration of the
Californians' detestation of the unforgiveable
crime of DEMONSTRATING. Where murder is
looked on rather as a fine art, horse-thlet is
regarded with universal loathing, and Mr..
Wilde had dined with gentleman in Gallo r
mia who owned to having fred eleven shots at
a nredatory poet, and who could not be con-
WINGED that he had been guilty of want OF re-
spect for literature in so doing. When Mr..
Wilde was lecturing in Chicago he received a
present of a beautiful little bas-rellef, quite
precious in its delicacy, fro astrugglingS culp-
tor. Upon which the lecturer rebuked his
Chicago audience for allowing such artistic
merit 70 be unrecognized "And instead OF be-
ING offended. ;" said Mr.. Wilde, "they sent the
vnnng man more commissions than he could
execute in two years" He said that he had no
more attentive audience than the miners at
Leadville His intentions for the future are 10
lecture in Australia and New Zealand, and,
above all, to visit Japan, and remain 1or Two
months at least in that wonderful country,
contemplating its artistic treasures while at
tired if possible in that grand old natlonal
Japanese costume which the natives them
selves are so foolishly casting aside.

POLITICAL trouble of serious sort is
brewing in Servia, where the Austrian pro-
