A visitor of a different class from iinyot these is now on his way hither llatlhcw Arnold, pmt, scholar, critic.

Tlie woik lie has done is of u tlir c-fold aspect, and has to do witli literature, with educili'in, and with religious thought.

In theology, It is urged in behalf of Mr. Arnold that lie "f juud the Uulish inluil hidc-bouud with doin ii an 1 Intellectual' concepll m, whilh forced aad froie all the vitality and warmth out ,of religion, and ctauurplKised tlie JJIblo to a mere ar'.en il proof texts j ant! ue met mis nani initrcciliallsm Willi a new plea for righteousness with a dcclaiatl nut iuu u.tjvei oi an jjiiue tciicning is con duct, and a conduct that draws its impulse Hum .i tiuiiig ot puie nun generous reeling in mouenri; ami ins u jiii cliinipionsblp of tlu spirit of the Ilible, and whit h; conceived to bo its religion, had u powerful iffect on the sttidtnt nnd scholarly cl iss there and here."

Colonel Dulley, Comiiilssloncr Jot I'm sloes, has sent his aunuil report to Secretary Teller, bill, In nccordtncc with the strict rules established this year lehtive to Iheso reports, It is not made public and will not I e tor tome lime. Tlie number ol pension ers during the year has grown Troiii 20,O0O to rOAOOO, and tbire are now 511,000 cldmauts whose cases arc uot yet aojusled. Of this nuiu'i; r, 18-1,000 are for arrears of peusioiis, niid the ttlnis, having been tiled since July 1, lsO, lire not eligible fir back paymculb. i'loin a tarefid analysis made by expeils Col mel Dudley estimates that or the claims ror arrcirurcs about sixty per cent, or 88,000 will be nllowttt. These aver age now about r-1 to each; to ho thiuks that about ilSS, 000.000 will still bo requited lit-rorc the arieaiiijes will be settled, lr the barrier tled by limiting llio time for llling them at July 1, 18s0, tliall be removed, a much larger sum will be required. It is worthy of nite that since a bo.nd of examin ing burgions has been rtqilired, instead of one physic! in, the nterjgu arrearage pay ment li.es been leiluc.-d from 1000 to 1400. Considerable complaint has lecn mado that the commis-louer nsked fi-oin Congress iu past years a larger appropriation thau he has been able to snenJ. He explains in bis report the nppnrent slowness of tl,c olllee in settling i-lniinii. Of the 2110)0 applications now on tile, more thin 201,000 nre 'I'claycel throuirh the neirlece of Ihe i liiilllauts. They hive tiled their pipers, which are nil right as bir as they go, tint in some respects tbey lad lo comply with the rules, and the oIUco is still wailing for auswers to letiers a-king for further lulorunlion. Some l.l.OOO cases are iu the bauds of special examining agents nil over the couutiv. some are in lie sure'eon geiicial's olllee, nud only n fractioi over 80J0 are; In attire wbeie ;tbc Tension llureau can I e working on them. It is an Interesting faeh that ot tho 181,00) Invalid pension pipers now filed, but uot acted upon, only 14,78'i are tor wounds re. ceived, and 20,0.10 lor Injuries. Nearly 110,. 000 arc based upon d.Maic, In many cases so extremely diilUulti to trace to any army service that the examining boards aro biilled. Colouol Dudley cans ror very few changes n tho pension 1 iws. He reommeods suno minor umiiulmends looklnir to an euualiza- tiom, but the only new legislation he asks for Is a general liw against obtaining pen sions by raise personations. I'lds oltienee is is spreidlng, and he wants its model a statu tory crime. Ills request for an nprrcprialion for the vear besinnlng July 1, 151, will bo comparatively moderate, l'or the pri sent vear i;ti,57..000 was vote!, which. Willi the bal. ante ot last car, puts about 120, 000,000 at liU dinosil. Ot tins sum be expects to pay out about. SO.UOO.OOO, leaving probably 4111,000,000 to carry over, lie-, tlieierore-, only wishes j!0,000,000 lu nddilioo. Ties ono Item will show u saving ol 4W.000.000 In next year's appropriations. The first thrco months ot this yuir, ending Sept. SO, 20,181,0)7.01 wero disbursed.
