IT Is estimated that the receipts from in.
ternnl revenue for the current fiscal veal
will beabout Si0,0 0 900 more than they
were for theyear ending in June last. The
receipts from customs will also largely in
crease.
Considering what Sec. McCulloch had 10
pay on bounties, and for the purchase OF
Alaska, and for other objects for which Mr..
Boutwell, is not called on for a penny, IN
connection with the great increase in rev.
enue for the present year, il may be safely
predicted that Mr.. Boutwell, will not be
able to give so good an account of his mon
cy ~ Mr.. McCulloch did.
There is reason to believe that the gov.

army, and that its indebtedness in this di-

The Condition Of The Cuban Insurgents,

The Condition of the Cuban Insurgents.
A correspondent of the New York Trib-
une with the insuegent Cuban army, writes
as follows:
We are leading the most delightful and
agreeable lives to be imagined. ON stores
are not perhaps so profuse as we could
sometimes desire, and our rations may not
be always such as would tempt an epicu-
rean appetite: but for trivial deprivations
of these kinds we care little. II does not
even occur to US to look upon them rs
hardships. We have excellent health and
high hopes. Mere existence is n perpetual
enjoyment in this lovely country, the eli.
mate of which, even in the middle of sum
mcr, is inexpressibly mild and fresh. All
our ap"prehensions of danger from the
burning heats were without foundation. ]
cannot say how II may be IN other parts of
the island, but here, in the mountain
regions, we find the atmosphere so
clear and inyigorating as TO make us forget
we are in tho tropics. The occupants of
the surrounding plantations are all heartily
aud openly with us, and it may he men
toned MS a circumstance of peculiar inter
est for the future, il not for the present,
that | have not met q single native Cuban
in this district who il not an ardent and
even n vehement advocate of annexation to
the United States. And this desire ap-
pears to proceed not solely from the hope
Of securing such aid as may enable them to
free themselves more rapidly from Spanish
thraldom, but also, and principally, from a
conviction that by this means alone the
prompt development of their immense Ia
tent resources, their rapid material advance.

famous mce-horse Herlog died ut the Buck
eye Trottiug Park, near Cincinnati, on
Tuesday. lie Wat n great iayorite at the
west, and had one of the best pedigrees In
the world. Io was only three years old,
aud had run q single mile in / 434-the
best time on record in this country. He
was n kindly dispositioned horse, and
eyinced n strong attachment for his attend
ants. lie ran q week before his death, and
made excellent though not remarkable
time. After the race was over, and while
he was being 'scrnped, he showed signs
of distress. The remedies which were APP
piled seemed TO relieve him ut first, but his
disease gradually developed into typhoid
pneumonia, and slowly sappcd the noble
animals life. He fought death mt every
step, refusing to lie down until within two
hours of the final moment. As soon Ms his
death was announced n dispatch was sent
TO one Of his owners, who replied, BURY
Herzog in n good place Following these
instructions, q grave was dug in the track
enclosure at the Buckeye Park ON n line
with tine thrce.quarter mile pole. a tight
ly-seOled champagne bottle, containing q
brief resume OF his exploits, m account OF
his last race, and some other papers, was
put into the grave with him. lie was a
dark bay In color, fifteen hands high, nm
marked save by Il few white hairs on his
forehead his only defect consisted in the
shortness of his ears, the tips of which
were lost by being frozen.

IS0ENIoUs SwINDLISG. A novel and in
genious method of swindling has just been
brought to light in New York. For some
time past several prominent actresses have
reported To the police the loss Of valuable
articles from their w%ardrobes, and the de-
tectiye in whose hands the case was put
finally succeeded in arresting the swindler,
who readily acknowledged his guilt, and
aided the officer in the recovery of the
property. lie is q youth of sixteen, named
Thomas Flanagan, and his manner Of pro-
ceeding was as follows: lie would call at
the private residence Of some actress and
represent that he had been sent from the
theatre for q certain dress which he de-
scribed. The request was so plausible, and
his description of the article 80 correct,
that he wal almost invariably successful in
obtaining it. The dress was then taken to
a servant named Mary Ann Anderson, who
devised this plan Of operations, and pawned
them and sold the tickets 10 a Mrs. Archer,
In whose house nearly all the missing arti.
cles were found. Miss Lucille Western re-
covered a velvet robe, several handsome
silk dresses, and IN opera cloak, the whole
valued ut 80, 800. Miss Bateman recovered
nearly 81, 900 worth Of property, and Miss
Lille Eldredge and Madame Iayistowski
found several OF their dresses in Mrs.
Archer's collection.

Another Eccentric EnglishmaD on His
Travels.

Some time age (says the London Daily
News) we heard of an Englishman who
made q bet that he would walk all the way
TO India, and who asked some Consul on
the shores Of the Black Sea for instructions
as TO the best road TO take. A few days
afterwards the Consul was beset by another
Englishman bent on the same errand, and
eager for similar information. This was
the man who took the first travellers wager,
and who was o on the track of
his adversary to see hat he strictly fulfilled
the terms of his engagement. Now, we
have the story of an "original English
man" who has Just traversed the Grand
Duchy of Hesse-D armstadt, ON his road to
Egypt to witness the Inauguration of the
Suez Canal. He had made q bet that he
would go from England to Egypt in his
yacht without touching earth. He accord
ingly sailed across the Channel aud up the
Rhine to Mayence. Here he meant TO turn
up the Main till he reached the Main and
Danube Canal; but the water of the river
was not deep enough for his adventurous
craft. Nothing daunted, however, our
compatriot is said TO have caused three
wagons to be dashed together, and his yacht
to be placed on the top of them, taking
care the while never TO leave the deck so as
to avoid touching land.
In this manner the Main and Rhine
Railway transported yacht and traveller to
the town of Bamberg, much to the stupe-
faction of the peasants. At Bamberg the
yacht was launched into the canal, which
will bear il 10 the Danube; thence il will
proceed to the Black Sea, to the Sea of
Marmora, to the Archipelago, to the Medi-
%terranean, TO Suez, and, let us hope,
through the canal to the Red Sea. The
story is more likely to be true than that of
the two Englishmen walking, one in the
footsteps Of the other, all the way TO India;
but true or not, our Continental friends
think it ought to be true. The whim and
the wager are supposed to be very oharac-
t%eristic of Euglishmen. As Frenchmen
bring all disputes TO the test of n duel,

NEW METHOD OF LAYING DUsT.,-A
composition Of chlorides of calcium and
sodium dissolved in water is said to have
been tried with admirable effect in lay
ing the dust in the streets of large cities.
The solution is sprinkled from cart
after the same manner daily witnessed
in Petersburg. The surface of the
streets are so hardened that no dust can
be seen-even with high wind blow
ing. Economy in the use of water is
secured, the streets are rendered more
durable, and a great sanitary advantage
is gained at the same time. One appli-
cation of this solution is sufficient to al,
lay the dust for three or>four days.
the experiment is worth fair trial
both on the score of economy and bene-
fit. IF the advantages claimed fsf it are
re allied, the solution should be used on
all paved streets.
