GOVERNMENT ExPESDITuREs-Wc make the following
extract from Washington letter.
The subject of Government expenditures has been
brought up in the Senate, in the discussion of the
luton for printing the seventh Since the years
1886. the expenditures ordinary account have in
creased from twelve millions year to forty millions In
the last year of General ackson's administration Mr.
Woodbury. estimated the necessary expenses of the Gen
eral Government at tweny millions They will hardly
be again reduced below forty millions The expenses
attendant the addition of territory, and increased
foreign intercourse and additions to Army and Navy
establishments account for the rapid augmentation of
expenditures The question now is whether the eXpen-
ditures other account than those OF national debt
be kept within forty millions 1t is quite certain that
they will not be. The various demands for projects
before Congress Of which will be provided for will
augment the expenditures. Whether the will
continue increase in ratio with the expenditures is
great problem,

FEATs THE CHIsEsE JuoaLERs-A CORE
spondent Of the Lowell Vor Popui thus describes
one Of the performances of the Chinese jugglers in
San Francisco: -
"a plank, sixteen inches wide and six feet high
was placed at the back of the stage, and the i'm.
pner, with knives, took his stand about fifteen OF
twenty feet in front of it. The knives were about
seven inch blades, and four Inch handles, strong
and pointed. After playing with them for time
tossing and whirling them in most wonderful
manner, he threw them one after another, fasten
ing them firmly in the plank before him. He then
drew them out, and another Chinaman took his
stand before the plank, rather the side of it,
holding cut his arm across the snme, and the i'm
paler threw one knife above and another below it.
closely as they could have been placed there by The
most careful hand, completely fastening his arm
upon the plank. The other arm was then reached
across and fastened in the same way. the knives
sticktng firmly, and the handles crossing each
other. The Chinaman then reached forward his
head, and quick rs thought two knives were
thrown-thc one above and the other below his
neck--seemingly within one fourth OF an inch on
either side. Such precision and daring was truly
wonderful, and the whole evenings performa ace
ELECTED unbounded applause" : =. .l

The Proposed Post Route,

Why Congress should build railroads for Mary
land and New Jersey, and not for other States, 10
not explained; but the proposition 10 seriously
pressed upon the Congress by the Postmaster Gene
rail- as it was by his predecessor, and is sustained
by concerted movement on the part of portion
of the prcss.- albany CIV. " Atlas 49,,
~ The .Atlas is in error. The "why" is ex-
planned by the Postmaster General, who states
that the absence Of competing lines or modes
Of conveyance between Washington and New
York renders the Department powerless, to
enforce the demands Of the public" The
''press," too, has explained that the New Jer-
sey monopolies are sustained by the Legisla-
ture Of the State; and that the tax imposed by
the Legislature Of Maryland on passenger
traffic precludes the formation of company to
compete with that which owns the existing
line. Private enterprise is precluded in each
case, and therefore, and for no other reason,
the interposition of Congress is invoked. Is
not this sufficient reason?
g., The Atlas suggests one remark which our
Baltimore friends will do well to consider" 1t
is that the mercantile interests cannot with
propriety hope to render Baltimore the seat Of
amore extended trade while they permit the
avenues Of commerce and intercourse to be
INSTRUCTED by petty local taxation.
