Bad on PensionppiUants. : Washington. March i The Mex ican war survivors and widows of sol- ttlVH at Uafm bc chargrined to learn that no definite period can now be faxed when their cases will receive atten- I5i haJfth(?se affected by the provisions of the Mexican pension , bill are about 42?00,uan? il is held 01 th pension office that it will be simply impossible to take up the cases until additional forct is given the office under the law. Th appropriation for the payment of Mexi can pensions, $6,900,000. in all, is only available until June '30. 1888. After that time any portion remaining unex pended must be coverted back into the treasury. The strong possibility is. therefore, that the most of it will co back and the bulk of the Mexican pen sioners will have to trust to the chances of getting another appropriation from Congress.

From Poor's Manual, rrvontlv sued, it appears that 3,131 miles of ruuruau were consiructea in the United States during 1885. and that at the year's close there were through out the country 128,9G7 miles of rail road completed for traffic The gross earnings of 123.110 miles of road, as reported," were $765,310,510; operating expenses were $493,821,520; leaving as net earnings $206,488,093. There were other receipts amounting to $86,393,477, and thus a total net rev enue of $352,881,470.

If half the stock is water, the earnings upon the solid part amounted to about 7 per cent. Insurance Critic. Maud S. has a remarkable record for fleetness, but her velocity is only trivial when compared with John Thompson, the comedian, who makes a tour of the world every evening. He. started again last night on the good ship "Academy of Music," with a full complement of passengers, every berth being taken, and a jollier set of passengers we never saw before; they laughed immoderately, and there was not a single case of sea sickness during the voyage. The only serious occurrence during the trip was a few who nearly choked with laughter. As a comedian John Thompson cannot be surpassed; his versatility is astonish ing, and imitation is out of the question. Exchange.

' There arc in the city 50 gas lamps, which cost the city 520.00 a year each, and 44 oil lamps, which cost six dollars a year each, making a grand total of $1,414 per an num. As to the difference between the cost of gas and the electric light, we cannot answer as .wo have nd means of ascertaining the cost of the latter; though, being a new thing and greatly superior to gas, the elec tric light doubtless will cost largely in excess of this sum.
