THE FROG.

or all the funny things that live
In woodland, marsh. or bog.
That creep the ground, OF fly the air,
The funniest is the frog
The frog-tbe scientifcksst
OF Natures handy work
The frog that neither walks nor rims,
But goes il with a jerk.
With pants and coats all bottle green,
Aud ye low fancy vest,
He plunges into mud and mire-
In all his Sunday best;
When he sits down he's standing up
As Paddy O'Quinn once said;
And for convenience sake, ne wears
His eyes on top of his head.
You see him sitting OF a log,
Above the "vasty deep"
You feel inclined to say "old chap,
Just look before you leap!"
You raise your cane to hit him on
His ugly looking mugj
But ere you get it halfway up
Adown he goes, KERcHUG.

It has been in my possession for the last

grown from its side another stone Of like

not diminished at all, but rather increased.
The color of the stone is a pure white, be-
ing perfectly transparent, excepting the
shape Of the stone giving prismatic colors
of light, which grows out Of the conveyance

the smaller one, is a slight tinge of amber.

ETThe following ''challenge" we find in
the Cincinnati COMMERCIAL of Saturday. 1t
will be seen that the wager is made with
any slaugtering house in that city, but we
presume that if any of our packers desire it.
they can have an opportunity of "tilting''
the knife with Mr.. Robert Reynolds for the
$I000:-Sci. Gd2.
There were slaughtered at Bogen 81 Co.'S
Western Slaughter house, by Rub't Rey-
nolds, Foreman, 1928 heavy hogs, average
ing over 900 lbs net, being the greatest
days work ever done in the United States,
on one bench. and by a single set of hands,
namely: one knocker, one sticker, five pen
hands, two scalders, one carer, eight scrd-
pers, twelve shavers, two wheel hands, five
hook hands, two cutters, s x gut cleaners,
two dry house shavers, one shaver at Wheel
and three men washing hogs.
Mr.. Rob't Reynolds will wager with any
house in the city, $1,000 that he can kill
more hogs at the Western slaughter house

ofthe same quality in both bouses)than a ny

THE Secretary Of the Treasury reports
$6l ,~s37,574.4o as the receipts into the Ma
tional Treasury for the year ending June
3Oth, 1885, balance IN Treasury sOth Julo
1852. Sl4.65s, 1886. 81 making in ali $751;
9%69,7lO.77. Total expenditures for Jane
time, $54,o26,sIs 81, leaving in the Treas
ury July LIST. 1853, S2l ,942, 500 SO. The
estimated balance in the Treasury July LIST
1854, is $40 1868, 1851. The estimated
balance July LIST, in ls55,is Sl5,2O6 ,927. so.
The Secretary recommends an addition
to the list of goods imported. free, and that
a uniform duty Of IS per cent. be laid upon
all goods paying duty, except a few classes
on which he proposes a duty of 100 per cent.
The changes proposed, he thinks, will re-
duce the revenue about a millions a year.
1t is not proposed to substitute specific for
ad ualorem duties, with perhaps the excep-
ton OF iron; it is proposed to admit salt
free OF duty, and to repeal the fishing boun-
ties.
1t is estimated that the gold and silver
currency remaining in the country is great
er by $I35, 1872, O95.73 than it was four
years ago, exclusive Of that brought into
the country by emigrants. The Secretary
thinks ifthis increase continues but a short
time longer, the country will be able to dis
pense with Banks! The Mint in Califor-
mia 10 expected to be ready to commence
operation in February next, and to coin
$40 900 900 per annum. The unsolicited
claims now in the hands of the Solicitor of
the Treasury amount to over $2l 600, 900.
Twenty three Custom Houses belonging to
the Government, and are now in use, and
appropriations have been made for fifteen
more.
OF the stock of the Louisville and Port
land Canal 1902 shares belong to the Unit
ed States and $40 to private individuals; it
is estimated that the earnings of 1854 will
complete the purchase of private stock and
leave the Government the sole stakeholder,
after which no more toll will be collected
than will pay for repairs and superinten-
.ence. The Treasury Building is reported
as inadequate to accommodate the Clerks
belonging to that Department.
The report is a very commonplace doe
ument, and is in some respects a disgrace
to its author about such a paper as might
have been expected from the man who
wrote the letter to Collector Bronson.
