As the time draws near for President
Arthur to retire from office, speculation be-
comes general as 10 the amount of his salary
that he will take with him into private life. 1t
was said that Hayes laid aside the neat little
nest-cgg OF 100000 as the result of his incum-
bency OF the office The Great Fraud obtained
credit for niggardliness because of the size of
the amount But there seems to be no reason
why goodly sum cannot be saved without
any sacrifice of presidential dignity. All the
extraordinary expenses of the establishment
are provided for by Congressional appropria-
tions, and the president is only expected to
pay for his family food and clothing and
any entertainments he may choose to give, 1t
would seem that these might easily be
covered by an outlay Of $LjOO per
month. Arthur became president on Sept.
10 1851, and unless he incurred large private
expenditures, should have SIO0,O 10 main
tain himself in dignity rs a private citizen.
1t is said that Arthur's society expenses wero
heavier than most of the presidents, but the
country may feel reasonably assured that be
his savings large or small, it will not be
treated to the sorry spectacle of president
in need OF aid from the charitable.

Average ANIMAL Cost of Living.
[Philadelnhia Rnlletin.


How many persons have even rough
idea Of the average sum upon which by far
the larger part of the citizens of the United
States are fed, clothed and housed! A re-
cent statistician estimates that 50 per cent.
of the population of this country is sup
ported by from IS to SO cents per capita a
day. At the latter figure this makes sl64 p
as the average annual cost of living, but. as
by average we mean the balance betwee
extremes, there must be many persons who
have not even this sum to live upon.
That SO cents day Is generous estimate
will be admitted when it is remembered
that many mill operatives earn only from
SIS to 81 a week, and that the wages of farm
hands run from $40 to $50 month and thai
on these sums several persons are often sup
ported When it is remembered, too tina
some other human beings have yearl,
income equal to what is necessary for th
subsistence of 500 or LOCO of these average
mortals, the startling contrast betwee
the extremes of our modern society mus
be most evident.

selves to the utmost to suppress the
fact that notwithstanding the favorable
prospect for peace, the Russian war prepa-
rations are still being pressed with ex-
traordinary vigor. There is an immense
movement of troops still in progress
toward Central Asia. Large bodies of in
fantry, cavalry, field artillery, and railway
and telegraph builders are pressing forward
in an almost continuous stream from Eu'

provinces across the Caspian sea and east
ward toward the Afghan frontier. The
work of strengthening the Russian defense:
ON the Black sea is actively proceeding, and
the terrifying of Sebastopol especially is be

second was to redress the political griev-

of Rome was probably made with
the object of gaining the sympathy

expected, he says, to succeed in the REBEL

the mounted police and then GEORGE the gov
