ernment for civil and foreign service, In
terror. War, Navy and miscellaneous were
$44s33472.- In 1866 the same were $751;
6S3, I95. This is an increase Of $342, S49,-
723-nearly three hundred and fifty million
dollars. In 1860 the war Department cost
only 81. .490, ,767, but in 1S66-in time of peace
also-it cost s2S4, $40 79l. Radical ''recon-

In England it has been proposed and re-
ceiyed with favor, to institute system of
accidental insurance for miners, the mine
owners paying the premiums and insuring
the men, while, on the other hand, the
companies are to issue policies not to each
individual by name, but tor such number
of persons employed. The individual min-
ers might come or go without affecting the
policy, and in case of fatal accident in the
mine the Insurance would be paid without
reference to identity of the victims, but
according to the number and rank OF the
men. In this way, with the least amount
of trouble, the families would secure bene-
fit from the Insurance.
