INTERNAL REyENUE.-Mr. Delano's re-
port of the operations of the Internal
Revenue Bureau shows that while the
expense of collection has been reduced
nearly $2,00G,0OO since last year, the
amount collected has been increased by
s27, ,259,l7O the result entirely Of vigi-
lence and faithful execution of the laws
For the fiscal year 1869 the receipts of
internal revenue amounted to Sl6O,O39,-
344, and for 1870 they are estimated at
Sl75, 900, 900. The most remarkable im-
proYcment is shown in the revenue from
spirits. For the fiscal year 1868 it was
Sc, 700, 546 for the fiscal year 1869 it
WAS no less than $62,OD2,4l4; from
which it appears that under the old law
the Government did not collect )ne-tenth
OF the revenue due from this source.
The gain in tobacco has been about 81,
100000, nearly twice as many cigars hav-
inc been returned as last year, though
the rate remains the same. The increase
in the return of incomes is MT more than
$3,oo0,ooo; but in spite OF the d'.Hrulty
i'll an honest collection of this tax, Mr..
Delano is disposed to recommend its con-
tinuancc.

PunLrc DEBT, FuRrnrn REpUcrloN.-

PUBLIC DEBT, FURTHER REDUCTION
The Administration make another favota-
bic showing on the public debt. The lst
of Decembcr schedule, shows in the ag.
gregatc, net decrease Of the whole
debt, funded and unfunded, of seven
and half millions and upward since
Nov. lst.
The funded gold-bearing stocks Of the
United States show even more import
ant reduction during the month, say sl2,.
$4,000 in United states 500 bonds pur-
chased by the Treasury in November
and withdrawn from circulation; making
the whole of these purchases since the
4th of March last, when the present Ad-
ministration took charge Of the public
debt and Government finances, the grand
sum of seoenty-Sir million sic hundred
and tuo thousand dollars. The other
items of the schedule show difference
in the same eight months of $4,000, 900;
leaving the net reduction of debt since
March 4, as now officially stated, $7l,-
9O3,524.
II is also to be remarked of the present
schedule that it exhibits continued
heavy gold balance in the ownership of
the Government, notwithstanding the
sales in November for Treasury account
of Sl1 100000, and over S2l ,OO0, 900 paid
out on gold interest actually demanded
during the month. The whole amount
OF gold in the Treasury is now stated at
sl05,969, ,049, of which s3eyse2,glo is
held against gold notes. outstanding, and
chiefly held by the New York and other
banks, leaving over sixty.nine millions in
the ownership Of the Government.

WHEN THE SEA GIVES UP HER DEAD.


when sparrows build, and the leaves break foril
My old sorrow wakes ard cries,
For know there IL dawn in the far, far north
And A scarlet SUI doth rise;
Like scarlet ieeco the snow.aeld spreads,
And the icy fouut runs free
Aud the bergs begin 10 bow their heads,
And plunge and sail In the sea.
Oh, my lost love, and my own, my love,
And my cove that loved me soi
l. there never olink In the world above,
Where they listen for words from belowi
Nay, spoke once, and Igrievcd thee sore
remember all that said;
And ncw thou wilt hear me no more-no more
Till the sea gives up her dead.
Thou didst set thy foot on the ,hip and sail
To the icy.helds aud the snow,
Thou vert sad, for thy love did nought avail,
And the end could not know,
How could tell should love thee today,
When that day held not dcnf
How could know should love thee away,
When did not love thee aneari
We shall walk no more through the scidon
with the faded bent' o'erspread, plain
wsshall stnd.no more by tho scethlng mau,
While the dark wreck drives oerhcad
We shall part no more In the wind aud ralt
Where thy last farewell was faidi
But perhaps shall meet thee aud know thee

Resources of the West,

Some interesting facts relative to
the growth and productiveness oftho
North west were brought out in the
debate on the Niagara Ship Canal
bill. The commerce of the great
lakes of the Northwest in 1918 IL was
less than 81 100000; in 1Sll in was
Sos. 900, 900; in 1850 it was $685..
1000, and it now exceeds 81 ,OOO,-
100000 in annual value. In 1918
there was but single steamer and
forty sailing vessels, only two Of
which exceeded 100 tons burden, on
all tho lakes above the niagara river.
In 1888 the number of vessels upon
all the lakes was estimated at G6j
aver aging about 10 tons each. In
1860 they had increased to 1,60O.-
But in 1868, as shown by the last
report of the Secretary Of tho Treas.
ury, their number was 2GSl, ayerag
ing about 200 tons each.
The wheat crop in the seven States
of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois. Michigan,
Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota in
1850, was 40,SG0,3SG bushels, and
the corn crop l85, ,003,96 bushels
In 1860 the wheat crop of the
same States was SS,GG6,017 BUSH
els, showing an increase in wheat
of 47,S06 63l bushels, in corn
nc 1Qg 1O9 hOO buebola and Ia tbc
aggregate of 1871 ,2lS,140 bushels, or
4,T74,2lS tons, or snore than tho
entire weight of all articles carried
upon all the canals of the State Of
New York in the year 1865. And
this aggregate, il not ratio of in
crease of production, has undoubtod-
ly been maintained to the present
time.

A NOBLE WiFE.-A bankrupt
merchant returning to his home one
night, said to his noble wife "My
DEAR am ruined; everything we have
is in the hands of the sheriff" After
few moments of silence, the wife

"Will the sheriff sell your ooh,
no ""Will tho sheriff sell mop ooh,
no |" "Will the shorifr sell the chill.
dren ?" "Oh, no II Then 10 not
say we have lost everything. All
that is most valuable remains to US

Can we wonder that, encouraged
