The Prince of Wales Impoverished

Edmund Yates letter to the Neto York Tribune.
No more foolish or short-sighted advice
was ever given the Prince Of Wales than
that not to ask for an allowance for Prince
Albert Victor. 1t created precedent which
his financial position did not Justify. The
Prince of Wales has chosen to be indcpend-
ent of the country. He cannot continue to
do So but must sooner or later choose to op-
ply to the commons for an income, which.
no doubt, will be grudgingiy given. In what
spirit thoy would entertain any proposal to
make provision for Prince George and his
sisters is doubtful. The Prince OF Wales is
In debt. He probably owes about Gl00,000
so he cannot have male any provisions for
his daughters, who have no fortunes Tho
princess has a small provision Of Gl0, coo
a year as n widow, but unless parliament
chooses to grant annuitiei TO the children
they would DO penniless. Their position
would be precisely that of tho two children
of the Duke Of Albany, who have no 70 T..
unes. At tine time of the Duke of Aibany's
death an attempt was made to persuade the
government TO propose n vote for these
children in the commons, and good many
pourparers on the Subjec, took place. The
government, however, did not think the
moment opportune, as taey considered the
duchess iointure of &c 900 pounds year
sufficient to maintain her and the children
during their infancy, and SO the matt, n was
dropped with vague kind of promise that
whoa the infant dukes education begaa
something might possibly toe done for him.

Salt as q Remedy.

salt, as it has great affinity for water and

The so-caned january rhaw.n

From the Ne,c York Herald.
A correspondent writes to the Herald to
ask the following questions:
IA few days ago there was mention made
in your paper of the January thaw.' VIII you
kindly let your readers know exactly what is
meant by the expression? Is the thaw in
January u matter of record, and, if so, 70,
how many years, in what part of the month
does it come and to what cause is it assign,
ed ~
There is popular impression in the
United States that there is a period in the
latter part of the month when a more or less
general thaw of ice and snow sets in. While
there is no record covering an extended series
of years which clearly reveals periodical
thav, there are good reasons fpr behaving
that, except in the most Northern parts d
the country, thaw probably occurs in about
four out of every hive years between the 10th
and 18th of January.

ward from the Trepic of Capricorn the in
crease of solar heat in our attitudes becomes
appreciable. On the 10Th of this month the
day is three quarters of an hour longer thar
it was at the solstice, and the sun has then
MARCHED north through nearly five degrees Of
latitude. There is, therefore, an increment o.
heat both from the more direct incidence O.

bis radiation in the twenty four hours. The
effect Of this would be quite sufficient to ac
count for a transient mild spell over tht

Eighty Millions q Year,

From tie Nep IorA, San.
The annual pension appropriation Just re
ported to the House onntemplates II much
larger expenditure for that purpose than has
yet been made in any year. 1t reacLct
$50, 275, 900; and it is based upon obligations
already incurred. This amount is needed
for current routine payments, taking no ao-
count of possible increases of expenditure
authorized by the Filtieth Congress.
The present enormous burden of pension
expenditures is mainly the work of the last
ten years. In 1878 the disbursements were,
in round numbers, ST 100000. They had
gradually fallen to that point from u maxi.
mum of between $50, 900, 900 and S34, 000, 900,
reached about seven years earlier; and this
decline was in accordance with the natural
law of decrease from the deaths of veterans
and other causes. The war had, in 1878, been
ended more than dozen years; and S27,-
100000 then seemed liberal annual amount
to be paying for pensions. with the prospect
OF steady dimiAution. But in the last few
months of the Hayes Administration the Ar
rears act was passed by Congress and signed;
and from that monent to the present there
has been constant addition of enormously
costly measures to the body of pension legis-
lation. During the year 1879 the disburse-
ments jumped to about S34, 900, 600; in 1881
they had reached $4,000, GOO; by 1888 they
were over s60,00o,0o0; the year 1885 saw
them above S65,0o0,O00; and now Commits.
sioner Black says that $50 ,000, 900 are need
ed to meet current payments during the next
fiscal year.
Where all this will end no one can pretend
to say, because no pension project is too ex-
trayagant to insure its defeat. The present
increase is largely traeeahle to two measures
of the Forty ninth Congress, one of which
pansioned. soldiers aud sailors Of the Mexieaa;
war for service only, while the other added
fifty per cent. to the rate paid to class that
included more than hundred thousand PEN
sioners. These two acts are continuous in
their operation, and call for a great annual
increase in the appropriations There are
other propositions of the same sort before the
Fiftieth Congress, some of which would in
crease the routine appropriation to 800, 000,-
900, and others to $3.50, 900, 900 year.
