This shows very 'rosy" state Of financial affairs,
and that the expenses Of government have decreased
That is the only inference, for the income is not much
greater than in 1894 is less in the great item of
customs by 100000 But it is not apparent that the
expenses have decreased. On the contrary they
annually increasing Therefore, IL is argued that there

A SINGULAR CAsE.-In August, 1861, a
man named Grady murdered Fergus Col
lins, at Elizabeth, New Jersey, and alb
sconding, enlisted in the United States
army. What followed is thus related by
correspondence:
After the rendering of the inquest YER
dict, the subject was left suspended-un-
explained mystery-until Grady reviv-
ed it; doing so from this cause: Grady,
while marching with Sherman's column,
when it was operating in the rear OF
Charleston, S. c., became on certain oc-
casion entangled in morass, and finding
himself gradually sinking, with the pros
pcct of speedily dying therefor he could
not help himself out-he solemnly vowed
to God, if the same would release him,
that he would make clean breast OF the
circumstances attending the Collins affair;
then, as if by Gods direction, straggler
of Massachusetts, regiment approached
him and helped him out. On arriving at
Goldsboro, N. c., and when the army was
encamped there, he made a statement in
regard to the matter, in accordance with
his own VOW which led to his arrest by
the military authorities. The usual legal
forms being gone through with, he was
handed over to the civil authorities, and
conveyed from Goldsboro, N. c., to the
Union County (New Jersey) Jail, and
lately tried on an Indictment for murder
in the first degree, and found guilty and
sentenced to be hung.

Dry ToRTUeAs.-The latest accounts
from this prison-island bring some ac.
counts ofthe assassination conspirators,"
who arc confined there. DR.. Mudd is
kept under close guard, and compelled to
clean out the bastions in the easements OF
the fort, and do the menial work. HIS
constant prayer is for death. Arnold is
employed as clerk as Captain Van Reid's
post adjutant. A guard attends him to-
his meals, which are the same as those of
the other prisoners, and at night no is
kept in close custody. spangler is at
work in the Quartermasters' carpenter
shop. He is robust and jolly, and in good
physical condition, which he attributes
solely to his being innocent of any par,
ticipation in the dreadful crime charged
him. Col. Marmaduke, found guilty of
conspiracy to free the prisoners Of Camp
Douglas and burn Chicago, has charge OF
the post garden.

xQUEEN V1cToR!A-STRANoE GOSSIP
The London correspondent of the Cincln-
natl Commercial in his last letter, gives
the following bit of queer gossip:
| had nearly written royal scandal
for, to tell the plain truth, the talk that
now floats through private society IN
London, is little less am panied to
say that this gossip involves no less
parsonage than Queen Victoria. 1t has
for long time been on peoples tongues,
bat it has at last appeared in the news
papers. 1t is said that the Queen has
taken prodigious liking for very good
looking, but ..signoble" Scotchman named
Brown, T. who wi was formerly sort Of out
door body servant to Prince Albert, and
indeed bears a strong resemblance to tho
Prince She so doats upon him that shs
keeps him constantly near her person, at
all her palaces, and in all her journeys to-
and from them. She consults per pet OH
all subjects, and takes his advice SO abso-
lutely that the rest Of the Royal House
hold have become very jealous OF him.
The last story is that She is going to.
Knight him. Marry him she cannot, for
the law of the realm forblds her to mar
ry one of her own subjects. 1t is very
disagreeable, nay, it is worse than dlsa-
greeablc, to mention these things OF one
who, as wife, mother and Queen, has SO
high place in the reverence OF the world.
/ have refrained from speaking of these
subjects while they were merely talked
privately, but now they have become SO
notorious, and are so positively mention
ed in the English papers, that l can no
longer regard them as empty tales
