GREAT IMPROVEMENT IN THE MANUFACTURES
OF PAPER FROM STRAW OR GRAssEs.-We
were yesterday shown some specimens Of pa
per made entirely of straw; also some of
grass, of a superior quality, and nearly as
good, so far as we could judge, us rag paper.
The exhibitor, practical chemist, informs us
that he can produce paper for all purposes of
a superior quality, from straw or grass, for
about half the cost of rag paper. The merit
that he claims is means of depriving the
straw of its siIer and other qualities which
interfere TO produce paper strong, Opaque
and pliable enough for any use.
We sincerely hope that the invention her
aided above may not disappoint the expecta-
tons which it will raise in the minds of all
consumers of paper.

The CELEBRATED JACOB BARKER. now well
advanced in life, but who possesses all the
vigor and elasticity of intellect that distin-
guished him forty years ago, arrived in town
a few days since, and proceeded to Newport,
Rhode Island, where he will remain some
time.
Mr. Barker removed to New Orleans, in
the year 1884, where he commenced the prac-
tice of commercial and admiralty law. He
soon acquired a reputation and a practice
which few lawyers had been as successful IN
achieving. In the war Of 1912, Mr.. Barker
supported the administration of Mr.. Madison
with his purse and his brain, and rendered
the most important service to his country. He
is now preparing to retire from active life,
though he will not abandon it for several years
to come. In the meantime he is engaged in
writing his personal memoirs, which will,
when completed, be found one of the most
interesting and important works of the age

GOVERNMENT EXPENSES. = Notwithstand-
ing the refusal of many appropriations, yet
under large revenue and growing country,
the expenses OF the government of the Uni
ted States, are rapidly increasing, and if our
navy and army We're kept on any thing like
the footing of England and France, our ma
tional expenditure would be much larger than
that of those governments.
The civil and diplomatic Appropriation bill
for the current year has passed Congress, and
is about twenty millions of dollars. 1t is es-
timated that the total expenses of the year
will run up to seventy or seventy five millions,
sum far greater than in any former year du-
ring time of peace.
Not only are the expenses of the nation
rapidly increasing, but.in nearly all of our
large cities and towns there is loud complaint
of enormous municipal expenditures and high
taxes. The same complaint is made, too,
with regard to County and State expenditures.
AS the country grows older and Weather, the
demands upon the public treasury increase in
rapid ratio, far outstripping the increase in
population and wealth. This is one of the
disadvantages of an old country, of which we
yet know but little, but which we must be
prepared for, as our land fills up with people,
and its most easily developed resources be-
come exhausted.
In New ork city, the pagers complain that
as is the increase in the population and wealth
OF the city, the increase of taxes is much
greater. Property is swelled to an inflated
valuation, and notwithstanding this, the rate
has been steadily increasing, and has now adj
vaneed to fraction over one per cent. In
Philadelphia, it was expected that the con-
solidation of the suburbs with the city would
reduce the rate, but instead of this the tax
has been jumped up to IL per cent of the
valuation, and the complaint is loud indeed Of
all the tax paying classes.
The sum raised in New York, the present
year is S4,S6l, 255, and the aggregate valua-
ton of the real and personal estate of the city
is 1892, 02l.735, an increase of more than
$4S, 100000 over the valuation of last year.
The prospect certainly now is, that one of
the great objects OF democratic government,
economy in public expenditures and light
taxes, is likely speedily to be lost in the Uni
ted States.
A great deal Of this high taxation is caused
by the increasing hosts which are quartered
upon the national treasury, by the leading pol
iticians, whose object is to make the most out
of their position and provide competency for
themselves and their families and connexions,
during their brief term of power Something
of it, however, is due to the increase of crime
and poverty, which state of high civilization
and luxurious habits of indulgence, always
induce and which powerful tide of pros
perity always bears upon its waters.

IMPROVEMENT IN FIRE ARMs.--Mr. Ben
jamin Joslyn, formerly of Springfield, but
now of this city, has just completed most
important improvement in the manufacture Of
fire arms, Creyolvers,l which competent judges,
who have carefully tested its merits and exam
med its principles, declare will take precedence
of all others. These revolvers are more sim
pie in their construction than Colts, and pos
sess obvious advantages. They are self prim-
ing, and the rotation of the charge chambers
is perfectly independent of the action of the
trigger. Measures have been taken to secure
a patent for the invention, and we learn that
when that is secured, company with ample
capital will commence their manufacture in
this city, upon an extensive scale.

FIRB.-About half past o'clock Thursday
morning, FIRE was discovered in the boot and
shoe mandatory of w. s II. Baker & Co.,
244 Main street. The firemen were promptly
on the spot, and quickly extinguished the
flames. The fire burnt through part of the
floor i'll Messrs. Bakers counting room, and
penetrated through the roof of E. H. Marsh's
apothecary store, doing little injury. 1t is
not known how it originated, but from a
careful examination of the premises, we sup
pose that it must have been caused by the
ignition of chemical match carried by a
mouse under the floor. The heavy joists
between the floor of Bakers room and Marsh's
store were considerably burnt, while there
was scarcely any Perceptible injury done to
the counting room.
The damage to Mr.. Marsh and the Messrs.
Baker is almost exclusively from the water
of the fire engines. Baker & Co. had $4,000
