extensively used in French cooking. Our

STILL ANOTHER PENSION BILL
About five hundred letters q day are re-
ceived at the Office Of the second auditor in
the Treasury department from ex-Union SOL
diers making inquiries concerning claims for
bounty which they have been ind ucsd to file
by the fraudulent represent athens Of claim
agents. These agents pretend that veterans
are entitled to additional bounty under al
legged new laws. By such representations the
veterans are persuaded to pay an advance fee
of from $2 to $5 to the attorneys to prose-
cute their claims The claims are rejected, of
course, and the claimants never hear OF it
until they apply at the department. The
attorneys pay no attention to the cases after
without merit. Soldiers are also induced to
send their discharge papers to these at
torneys, who refuse to return them in the
hope that they may be of benefit to them in
the event of legislation in the future.
But though such claims amount to nothing
more than to help the claim agents get a
living there will be q chance for great many
veterans to get part of the government's
surplus money if scheme which the invalid

agreed upon plan to give to all soldiers of

making this extremity liberal provision,
which, it is estimated. will require some S.

committee thought it well to stop. The Re-
puulicans, however, thought it good policy to
go length further. They proposed to add
section giving to every soldier not other
wise pensioned, who was confined so days or
more in rebel prisons, a pension of So per
month, and bounty of S2 per day for all
the time he was in the ensmy's hands. The

The people are expectant. Mr.. Ruskin is

where Even in his own beloved lake dis

1t is time to stop opening our purses, eur
houses and our hearts to distinguished Eng
liah trsmps who cons over here to rob US.
Among the more noted Englishmen who have
lately visited as are Matthew Arnold, Sir
LepeI Griffin and Oscar Wilde. They are in
great social favOr at home, and may be taken
as representatives of English society, brains
and manners. Of this proposition there can
be no dispute. Therefore, taking it for
granted, We are justified in saying that the
representative upper class Englishman of
to-day is pig-headed boor, an ungrateful,
snarling cur, and jealous, cunning and venom
soaked enemy of all things American. Those
people. largely found withinthe corporate linz
its of the city OF New York, who affect English
ways should be pelted off the streets when
ever they appear. The average EngIishman,
who has lived all his life in narrow island,
has not the breadth of vision to enable him
to grasp the life, business and high pur pose
of the American people whose domain has
yet to be settled, its resources determined
its wildernesses conquered. Bah! Out upon
these pigmiesi What have they to show us as
exemplary? Their metropolis, which is prao-
tically all there IL Of England is the most de-
praved and pauper-stricken city in the world,
its aristocracy is the most rotten, its govern
ment the least liberal, when pretenses are
considered. It has nothing essential to be
commended to as worthy Of emulation. What
is TO be thought of parliament, professedly
enlightened and keeping pace with the spirit
Of the age, that hesitates to extend the suf-
frage among the people, in order that they
may lift themselves out of their miseries?The
policy of England is robbery of the weak at
the cannon's mouth. Every thing it has
must be held by force. No wonder that
those who leave her shores, seeking asylum
in America, yearn to die away from them!
Why, therefore, should any American pay re-
gard to the criticism of those who have made
England what it is to-day? Whether or not
Matthew Arnold has declared there is no
culture here, it is the cry of his kind who re-
eeive our hospitality. American social life
Is on higher plane of culture to-day than
English life. In literature, in scientific re-
search, in applied art, in inventive skill, in all
the comforts of life in all things that 20 to
make life living and to bless it with oppor-
tunity, the American people are as far in ad-
vance of England and her suffering colonies
as Rome was once in advance of the rest of
the world. Therefore, let ths doors be shut
upen English beggars of distinction. Letsevery
American householder consider that if he ad-
mits one of them he runs the risk of finding
his hospitality abused. In short, let us hear
of and see more affectation in this country
of English manners and methods.

There is popular idea that the bitumin-
Gus coal industry of Pennsylvania, being
scattered over great extent of territory, is
OF more value to the State than the aathra-
cite field. Such, however, il net ths case at
present. The anthracite field 10 confined te
portions OF. nine counties, and comprises 80
active collieries, which employed last year
81 ,3os persons, to whom S33, 597 ,2s2 was
paid in wages. The mines were worked an
average of 221 1-2 days during the year, and
the output was 80, 154. 546 tons of coal The
bituminous field in operation for the same
time comprised portions of twenty Eve
countries. The number of active collisries was
ss1, employing 45, 454 men and boye, to whom
$17. .O14, 624 was paid in wages. The average
number of days the collieriss were in opera
tion was 207 Il, and the output of coal
amounted to 1s, 729 ,s17 tons. This includes
the amount of coal used by 10,617 coke
ovens in the manufacture of 1880, ,s72 tons of
coke.
