Mr.. Maxry, who is anxious that the
Mexican veterans should have their
share in the good things that are going
in the way of pensions, will probably
find it Il matter of extreme difficulty to
persuade the Senate to adopt his views.
OfcourSe there is no logical reason why
the soldiers who fought battles in the
war with Mexico should not be treated
with the same liberality as the surviv-
ors Of the civil war. Thepension busi-
ness has, however, been 80 much over
done that Congress is not in the least
likely to 60 any further in the same
direction.

shapely white hand in his and looking into his
face with a tender earnestness that showed the
true womanliness of her nature; sit is better,
far better for both of us that we should part
forever" but, as she spoke, the hot tears of
pain weled up into her beautiful brown eyes
those eyes that had witched it'll their bright
chances and dreamy tenderness 80 many men
and with little sob of pain Lillian's head was
bowed upon George w. Simpsons shoulder in
an ecstacy of grief. Couldn't you put a ten
year limit on your bill, darling?" asked the
young man, bending gently over the little head
that was pillowed so trustingly just under his
left ear; 81 certainly ought to have as good a
chance as a Chinaman." A low moan of pain
and oonvHlsive shake of the little head was
the only response. But George was not to be
denied SO easily. "Can not have one hope?"
he said, zone little nicke-plated, ten-cent
hope?"
Lillian lifted her head and looked at him
steadily. Perhaps she said, in cold, Baffin s

q tinge of sadness in the recollection, how you
toyed with the love of loyal, trusting Cook
county heart, and threw forever over a young
and happy life the black pail of a disappointed
hope and crushed ambition"
Lillian looked at him steadily for a moment.
'Do you mean these words you have spoken,

In the lull of persecution that may follow
the pope's letter urging his bishops to pro-
test against the Entertainment of the Jews,
it may be a good time for that eccentric
Englishman, Mr.. Lawrence Oliphant, to urge
his pet scheme of sending the Jews to Jerusa-
lem. There has always been sort of dream
in the Hebrew mind of final return to the
land of the fathers, but in its practical effect
the persecution drives them to America
rather than to Palestine. Mr.. Oliphant him
self seems now to have given up the idea of
getting the race to retrace their steps to the
east, and is doing his best to get them into
the procession which moves to the westward
from Russia as well as from Germany and
Roumania and the British islands of the

BRITISH dispatches announce that the au-
thorities are sanguine that the strenuous
efforts which are being made to find the as
sassins of Cavendish and Burke will be at
tended by success. This expectation is
mainly justified by the very liberal rewards
which the government has offered for the
apprehension of the criminals; rewards
which warrant the hope that the requisite in
formation will be eventually forthcoming.
Unfortunately the exertions of the police
have not, up to the present time, been fol-
lowed by any particular result, but the
price that has been set upon the heads of
the criminals ought to produce the desired

IT is curious fact that the passion play,
which is nowhere heard of in Europe except
at Oberammergau, where it is performed in
the Summer months of every tenth year is
still kept up in Mexico and is given at the
most appropriate time of the year, that is,
passion-week. For some reason these exhi-
billions were discouraged by the government,
and last month circulars were issued prohib-
itng professions and passion plays during
holy week, but, although no attempts were
made to evade the law in the capital or 9TH
er large cities, the women of the villages set
about collecting money to pay their fines
and had their celebrations as usual. An
elaborate description is given by New York
World correspondent of the ceremonies in
the town of Texeoco, which commenced on
holy Thursday with "the washingof the feet
of the apostles" and ended on Saturday by
the burning of Judas Iscariot in effigy and
the burial of Jesus by Joseph Of Armathea.

THE census bulletin of farms shows that
Illinois has more farms than any other State,
there being 255,741 of them. Ohio comes
second, with PAT, 1S9 farms; New York third,
having 24,058 Missouri is fourth, with
215,575, and Pennsylvania fifth, with Fl !, 542.
In every preceding decade New York has
ranked first in the number of farms. Cali
fornia has but 1884 farms, or about as
many as Vermont, but the latter has only 81
farms containing more than 1000 acres,
while California has 1881. Pennsylvania
has pa farms of over 1 900 acres; but in the
Southern States the size of the farms follows
the California fashion, without quite COM
ing up to it. OF Pennsylvania farms, 1861
220 are occupied by the owner, 17,O49 are
rented for fixed money rental, and 2S,273 are
rented for shares of produce. The practice
of renting farms on shares is much more
prevalent in the West and South than in the
East, but in all the States the proportion of
farms not occupied by the owners is very
small
