h United States Revenue.

II Is said that the entire revenue of the United
States for the fiscal year ending 30th of June, is
fifty MILLIONS Of dollars. This is much grea-
~ than was expected by any one, and is five mil
Esns more than the estimate Of the Secretary of
6e Treasury. The receipts from public lands are
tue ssd half millions, and tro millions of the
revenue from customs come from California.
These facts, at first sight, would indicate that
the country is enjoying high degree of prosper
ity in spite Of adverse influences at some points.
But whether this prosperity is real and safe,
fears are seriously entertained. Our importa-
tons have been large, indeed, to yield fifty mill
;oss Of revenue under the present tariff; and as
these importatons will have to be paid for, either
~ our produce and manufactures or with the pre-
cious metals, the apprehensions that reaction,
and frightening up' Of the money market will
tke place, seem to be well grounded. There is
no good reason, indeed, why large portion of
he inportations requisite to yield this fifty mill
ions Of revenue, might not have been manufac-
tared here at home, under a suitable tariff. in
stead Of being purchased abroad. The enemies
of protection, however, will point to this fifty
millions raised under the tariff of 1916, as a tri-
umphant demonstration of democratic policy
II enormous importations alone, were evidence of
national prosperity then exultation wouldbe pro-
per enough. There are two sides to the story,
however;-f the amount of revenue or taxes rails
d IN 1 country is to furnish the measure of its
prosperity. England and France would far eclipse
Us. The question for us to ask ourselves is wheth-
er our expectations have equalieo or importa-
lions, and whether the latter have been paid for
o. bought on credit;-for paid for they must be
in some way, either by the produce of the coun-
Try or by the precious metals.
We have seen that silver has been for some
time at premium in the east, and that as fast as
it can be procured it is shipped from the country.
Our California gold, too, as fast as it can be coin
ed At the mint is shipped to England to be melted
into sovereigns. This is the way our imports are
paid for, together with our Government and State
Socks, and Railroad stocks, to an amount be-
yond any means we have O. calculation.
Other evidence of our excessive importations
nsy be found in the fact that some articles of
seods in the Eastern market have fallen in price
below their actual cost IT Europe. The conse-
quence will be great injury to some of our manu-
featuring interests, which are already crying out
over their losses. Exchange on London is SO
high, that specie is shipped in preference and the
packets are taking out every week large smounts
dspecie. 1t is sad to think that the produce of
al the capital, life and labor spent in Califor-
MA mines is running right through our hands to
buy Injuries of England and France (which might
either be dispensed with, or under wiser sys-
tenn, manufactured at home. Such is the result,
however, Of s.democratc policy

And would you think this withcred stem
Once bore a flower Of lovliest bloom,
tD Lifo's parterrc, roseate gem,
Unmatched in beauty and perfume.
a flower so fair, the charmed sense,
Regardless passed all others by
So,weet the Sreath that issued thence,
The mir would pause to catch its sigh.
So bright ils Guts the sister flowers
Were cast in shade, or lost to sight,
So soft its hues, the gcntlcst showers
Seemed sent, by Heaven, to keep them origa l.
The dews of eve would ELL its cup,
To nestle on a couch so fair
The Jealous sun but dried them up,
That his own rays might revel there
No thorn appeared to wound the touch,-
Could touch have dared profane ita leaves;
No "briary fence - or only such
As nature round the moss-rose wreathes'
This beauteous flower! we watched it well,
This favored plant Of earth and skies;-
And now, behold, its fate to tell,
withered stem before us lies.
Its hues are gone, its fragrance hed

We see it, gathering to the dead,
And scarce can say, this was a rose

THE WILD WOMAN CAUGHT.--We learn from the
Houston (Texas) Telegraph the famous wild woman,
of the Navidad has been caught A party Of hun
tiers, who were out hunting deer, accidentally came
upon the camp Of this singular creature and captured
her. She is an African negrcss, who fed 10 these
wids when The settlements were deserted just after
Fannng's defeat, and she has been wandering about
fifteen years Her food during that period has conss-
ted of acorns, nuts, and other wild fruits with such
other food as she could occasionally steal from the
neghbouring settlements. She cannot speak any En-
sish, but converses freely with Africans on the neigh
boring plantations. Thus is solved the mystery that
has hitherto given romantic interest 10 the story OF
the wild woman of Navidad.

Watch my sleep till morning light.

And thank thee for thy care;

A CRUSADE FOR THE RECOVERY OF THE Holy
LAND-The .Algemiene Zietung states that the Aus
trian Ultramonaine party is preparing considerable
difficulties for Prince Schwarzenberg, by its zeal for
Ran object which the Christian world of Western Eu-
rome has for centuries abandoned-the recovery oil
Jerusalem and the Holy Sepulchre from the hands OF
the Mohometans. The purpose of the Crnsades is
10 be revived, but is 10 be pursued by the way OF
diplomacy, not by war. II is stated that the Catho-
lie powers. with the conniyance OF Austria, intend 10
obtain possession Git is not precisely defined now OF
all the sacred spots Of the Holy Land, which will
then be made over to the Catholic Church. The Or
der of the Holy Sepulchre will be raised 10 the mpor-
ance once possessed by the Knights T'emplars. The
Pope is to be the Grand Master and one prince of ev-
ery Catholic state of Europe is 10 be created Grand
Prior.
The movement, as far as it can be called one is
probably caused by the increasing influence of the
Greek Church in the east under the support Of Rus
sia. That Church, too, has made the possession of
the Holy Sepuchre special object ofts ambition,as
we'll as other localities in Syrn sacred by their asso-
ciaons During the Two past years. while the polit-
cal power of the Papal Government was prosrated
the efforts of the Greek Church said to have made
great PROCESS and are gradually sappng the influence
of The Latin Church.
The feuds between the two churches haze long
been of the most bitter kinG and in Jerusalem, it is
we'll known, have grown 10 a scandalous excess;
guard of Turkish soldiers alone keeps peace between
them on certain festivals in the Church of the Sepul-
cbre. The Germans stale that the Greek Christians
have really obtained the preponderating influence in
Jerusalem, and that any efforts Of the Austrian Ultra
Catholics to recover the lost ground will be met by
the decided opposition of the Emperor of Russia,
practically the Pope Of the Greek Church. Prince
Schwarzenberg is not over-zealous in The cause OF
the Austrian Pe,iss, and will probably suppress the
whole plan as soon as it becomes politically Incon-
yenient.
