MARRIAGE IN TWO CENTURIES.

A London writer says: How were
young ladies dealt with and how were mar.
riages managed in the fifteenth century
II this generation of young ladies have any
notion Of it, they will rejoice that they
were not born to be married 400 years ago.
They know very well that if they have at
tended to their duty and trained up their
parents in the way they should go, they
may choose for themselves, with or with
out discrimination, as the case may be.
Neither they nor their parents may have
taken the view which | recollecs to have
heard from Mr.. Rogers, that it does not
much signify whom one marries, as one Is
sure to find next morning that it was some
body else; but though they may not be
prepared to 90 quite this length, yet, from
one cause or another, the young in their
willfulness and strength will not seldom
act. and the old in their impotence concede,
in such sort that they might seem not to
stop far short Of it. 1t was otherwise IN the
last century. Parental rigor in those days
could hold its own as firmly as the parish
stocks; and there was but one escape-the
flight to Gretna Green, sanctuary known
now only to history. The GOODNESS with
which it was sometimes resorted to may be
exemplifed by quotation tgiven to me by
a grandson OF the parties) from letter
written not, however, to the parents OF the
lady flor she was an orphan, but to her
guardians, beginning thus Gentlemen.
Your unnatural behavior TO your ward,
Miss -, Induced her, however reluct-
antly, to take a journey to Scotland, in
which she allowed me the honor of accom-
panying her." The slackening of restraints
in this century may have better results on
the whole than the unnatural behavior
of the last, but it sometimes leads TO i'm.
promptu arrangements by young people
which may seem not to have been made
with sufficient sense of their seriousness.

reason to think that they were not. But
there is something to be said for taking
time on such occasions, and looking before

TIE AMoUar OF THE PENSION BILL.

In response to Congressional inquiry
the Commissioner of Pensions has made an
estimate of the amount which will be re.
quired under the present law, during the
ensuing twenty-five years. He finds that
the pension bill for that period may be
expected to amount to 81, 347. 65l. 500 of
which 81, 264, 227, 977 consists of rebellion
claims fled prior to June 80. 1880; $780,
500. 600 rebellion claims filed subsequently
to June 80, 1880 and the rest Mexican
War claims. Thirteen hundred millions
of dollars is the extent of the drain on the
treasury which the Pension Arrears bill

BOSTON CULTURE AT A DISCOUNT.

BOSTON CULTURE AT A DISCOUNT,
The conduct of the Harvard students
who attended Oscar Wilde slecture at Boston
appears to have been something more than
funny, aud that of the remainder of his
audience was evidently in very much the
same key. 1t is of course open to any one
to criticise Oscar Wilde, and to express
their opinion of his mission; but since
nobody is obliged to go and hear him, and
since there is an implied understanding
that those who do go to hear lecturer of
whose purpose they know the drift, will at
least give him fair hearing, this treatment
of the esthetic leader cannot be justified.
As regards the students. they no doubt
acted after their kind. 1t is trite OBJ
servation that all boys are barbarians more
or less, and public school boys and COL
legians appear to evolve a very large
amount of barbsrism, by mutual attrition
and friction, we suppose. Between Ok
ford undergraduates and Harvard Fresh
men there is distinction without differ
ence in matters of this kisd. The former,
at their commencement exercises, have
long taken a special delight in demonstra.
tions of the most blackguardly kind. The
latter also are naturally prone to "caddish-
"ness" when opportunity offers. We
think Mr.. Oscar Wilde is much less of an
ass than he pretends to be, or than his fol-
lowers are. We are disposed TO think him
somewhat more Of humbug, indeed. BIT
though his lectures may be nonsensical
and his Alterations ridiculous, those who
affect more simple and substantial cult
ure certainly do not show their superiority
by such conduct toward him as his Boston
audience was guilty of. And if these
things are done in the green tree, what can
we expect from the dry? If Boston culture
is so thin veneer, how can Mr.. Wilde
hope to escape pelting in the raw crudity
of Chicago and San Francisco?

amount of bonds issued was IS. 900 600, all
of which, with the exception of bonds

will set up, in fact that bill which was
introduced to Congress as measure calling
for not more than $40, 900, 600 at the out
side. Mark Twain has in one of his books
given what purports to be the history OF
claim against the Government, in which
an original very dubious loss of few hun
dred dollars was swelled by iudicious
lobbying and manipulation until Congress
had paid several hundred thousand dollars
upon it, yet without at all abating the
demand of the claimants. This story,
however, promises to be eclipsed altogether
by the cold facts of the Pension Arrears
bill. which is in truth swelling before the
astonished eyes Of the public very much
as the diabolical dog in whom Mephis.
topheles had conceded himself, swelled be.
hind the stove in Faust's study. A rise
from twenty to thirteen hundred million
dollars is enough to stagger the
most experienced observer of Govern
mental extravaganza and legislative
squanderings. But Senator ingalls, has
already declared that he would have voted
for the bill even if lie had known that it
called for thousand million dollars, and
we presume that the additional three hun
dred millions will therefore not shake his
eonstancy. OF course it is necessary for
the people TO believe that this immense
sum is all to be expended upon the SOL
diers and sailors, and taeir widows. But
unfortunately the Commissioner of Pen
sions has made that belief impossible, by
asserting that certainly ten per cent, and
possibly twenty per cent, of all the claims
made under the Pension Arrears bill are
fraudulent. The presumption indeed Is
that the proportion OF fraudulent claims is
| far larger than this, but even if it is not
the facts already in the possession of the
public are sufficient to convince them that
the bill has saddled IN enormous swindle
upon the country, and that it ought to be
remodeled if it is not repealed. And Con.
gressmen will do well to reflect that
though while prosperity continues the
people may tolerate this drain upon their
earnings, they are very sure to rebel
against it the moment adversely touches
them, and equally certain to punish those
who have made themselves conspicuous as
defenders of the shameless job.

GBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE
POTrsvILLE, Penn, May 24.-One of the most ter
ribic accidents that has happened in the schuyikiil
coal regions for number of years occurred tins af
ternoOn at the Kohinor Coliory at Shenandoah,
owned and operated by Iecksher IL Co. Six men
wero killed, and three were so badly injured that
they NAV not recover. Tho coerY IS one OF tho
largest IN the region employing 800 men and boys
Tho bottom of the lower slope is about LOO feet
from the top of the lower shaft Inc
coal is full Of s,gls in No. L shaft
and in this the accident occurred. The mine had
been generating gas very much last night, and two
fans were kept unning at rapid rate to drive 1t
out THIS proved Of avail, however, ami this
morning it was found that the mine was danger
orsly full.
This morning John Lee. The fire boss, went into
the pit to inspect the mine. He found tho gas thick
and warned the miners of The danger when they ar
rived to 90 to work. He had safety lamps dis
tributed among them, after which they de-
scended the mine TO work. All went
well until shortly after dinner, when terrific ex-
plosion occurred, caused by the gas being fired.
How it happened is not known, but the general
snpposition is that some of the miners uncovered
their safety lamps. Props and brattices were
hurled in every direction. the doors leading to DIFF
ferent parts of the mine were blown to atoms, all
the lights were extmguished and the miners were
left in darkness.
The following are the names of the killed:
Owen Gallagher miner, married leaves wlic
and three children.
James Muhearn, laborer unmarried.
Martin Muhearn. miner. father OF the latter.
James Mcdonald, door-boy.
John Hugh, driver.
John Strait, lab3rcr.
The injured are joan Lee, tho fire boss, and two
Polanders who had only lately been employed.
Their names could not be learned.
The men killed were horribly mutilated Null
hearn was burned beyond recognition, and he was
cut almost to pieces 10y the flying debris. McDOn-
aid was blown along the Gangway aud was dashed
against q pillow OF coal. The others were blown in
different directions. Those who escaped tell sad
story of the noise of the conclusion. AS soon rs
they could realize that they had been saved they
went to the bottom of the slope, and on reaching
the surface reported the accident.
In short time after the accident hundreds of
ncrsons were standing around the mouth of the pit.
Women who's, husbands and children werc in the
mine screamed and tainted. Al nrst it could not be
asccrt 3ued how many lives had been lost The bodies
of rhe dead men were taken up in the cage they
were found lt was first thought that all the men
who were down at time of the explosion were kIIei,
but such happily turned out not e. be the case ne
last of the dead bodies was taken out late THIS.
