Retrenchment Necessary.

The annual expenses of the government OF
this country are reported at $30S, 323, 1852.
This is about So tax upon every man, wo-
man and child in the country. AS families
generally consist of at least six persons, it
is a tax of $4S upon the head of it. We
used before the war to get along with tax
of $70,000,000. Now we have to pay $780,
100000. The expenses of the army are
entirely too high for thirty thousand men
on peace footing. The charges are more
like those booked when force is in actual
service. Our navy is also costly estab
lishment, and We. it needs thorough over
hauling to make it compare in any respects
with those of the leading meritime powers
of Europe. We should have an efficient
army and navy. But the other expenses of
the government should he reduced. They
can be, and no material interest ofthe coun-
try damaged. There are too many civil
officers and many of them are paid salaries
out of all proportion with the work they
perform. This is the direction in which
reform should be pushed. The people are
heavily taxed. Business is injured by draw
backs in the shape of governmental exac-
tions. All these can be removed by proper
economy on the part of those in authority,
and to that point the people should keep
their attention directed.

Buried by a Bear.
A CALIFORNIA CATTLE HERDER's EXPERT
ENCE WITH A GRIZZLY.

A CALIFORNIA CATTLE HERDER's EXPERT
ENCE WITH A GRIZZLY.
A gentleman from the lower country
where grizzly bears help the herders to
take off the sheep, relates curious adven-
ture which occurred to an Indian hcrdman
in his employ. He sent the man to q dis
tant portion of a large rancho to look after
herd of sheep, The Indian at nightfall
got under a shed with a roof of branches
but open on all sides, and lay down in his
blankets. After few hours sleep, he was
awakened by feeling the hot breath ofsome
animal on his face. He moved his arms
and at once understood the situation-a
huge bear was snuf1ing him.
The man, with great presence of mind
determined to keep perfectly still, for he
knew if he moved or cried out, one blow OF
those huge paws would break his skull
like walnut. Bruin scratched off the
blanket and seized the Indian by the leg.
Though suffering terribly, the brave fellow
did not allow groan or cry to escape him
The bear dragged him from the hut for
some distance, and then commenced to dig
a hole to lay the Indian in and cover him
up from the coyotes. After the grave had
been dug deep enough the bear (contenting
himself with pound of flesh from the vic
TINS thigh moved the body to the hole
and covered it up.
The Indian managed to keep the earth
over his face loose enough to allow him to
breathe, and when the bear retired, he
crawled out toward the mustang, which
was picketed some yards outside the hut.
With great difficulty he mounted, and then
rode toward the rancho house. A doctor
was sent for, and pronounced the wounds,
though severe and painful, not likely to
prove fatal. The next day hunt was
organized, and the grizzly was killed in
the ighborhood of the spot where he had
slowed away his intended meal

Ifuhiek.
What shall the name be? Lucy asks
In choice she leaves me free
Yet still there might be easier tasks
Than this assigned to me;
For, first, want the sweetest word
In language yet I've seen or heard;
One, soft as WHISPERED vow of love,
Or drcam-lillc voices from above,
Such as may call those smiles we see
On the face of sleeping infancy,
And musical, like sony of bird,
Or wind-harp by the'Zephyrs stirred.
Such word as this should be my choice,
TO correspond with Lucy's voice.
And, then, I'd have the name express
An idea, too, of gentleness;
Not like those common names cNtant,
As Cesar, Mars, Ulysses, Grant,
But something that conveys sense
or courtesy and elegance.
Such name as this | fain would tind
TO suit fair Lucy's gentle mind.
What then's the name? All, let it be
OF something Lucyll often see;
A name which, too, know implies
WHAT'S pleasant to most ladies' eyes;
name which, from the earliest time,
In rug ged land, and sunny cline,
Among the great, among the small,
In lowly cot and in palace hall,
Has meant the same, and tells DER carth
The sense man has of womans worth.
What's in name? Yet this implies
The best that in mans nature lies,
As honor, faith fidelity
Hope, trust, and gentle courtesy;
And those best virtues from above
Truth in man, and in woman, love.
All, years have past / may not claim
title to this gentle name,
But were in the spring of life,
Unscathcd by cares, and tolls, and strife,
Which make so brief the brighter hours
Found in this trading world of ours,

And | might be, oh, were it so!

Ip dhe legislature has worked two
obvious mischiets: it has seriously injured
the State credit; and it has seriously dis
tracted the Conservative party.-En-
qairer. e -.z.s
1t is no part Of our business to defend
the Legislature from the aspersions of its
political friends. That body has been
powerful enough in opposition members to
carry out any measure it might inaugurate,
without counting on any Republican
strength for the consummation of its work.
We have no apologies to make, therefore,
for any of its shortcomings, and have only
to defend it against the unjust structures OF
its friends.
The two chief grounds Of complaint
made by the Enquirer are The two special
claims which it has upon the gratitude OF
the people of the State. It has taken the
enyenomed sting out of the tail Of last
years funding bill, and so shaken the
bonds of utilization between the Conserga-
tive elements of the State and the Demo.
cratic party in it, that the two can no longer
go together as a unit on local matters any
more than they can permanently ally toseth-
or on national issues. This is aconsulnmation
devoutly to be wished by all who have the
welfare of the State at heart, to say nothing
of the general good of the country. As tc

1t will accordingly be seen by referring
to the above figures, that the three large
BROOKLYN plug tobacco factories employ
constantly from fifteen to eighteen hundred
operatives, paying them about $3.50, 900 per
annum for wages, and that they manufac-
ture seven million pounds of tobacco each
year, upon which they pay the government
annually over two million of dollars tax
es. 1t is said that during the last five
years, for the same article, the whole State
of Virginia has not paid so much to the
United States Treausury as these three
Brooklyn factories. Brooklyn Union.
The Brooklyn Union is a very clever
journal in all but its local tobacco statistics.
In this particular it is so manifestly at
fault, that we shall be obliged to call its at
tention to our article to-day on the /" To-
bacco Manufactures of Richmond" that it
may rectify its " infirmity Of error" in
treating of its own local industries in COM
parison with those of Richmond. Itputs
the amount of plug tobacco annually man
ufacturcd in Brooklyn at Z 900, 900 pounds,
and the number of operatives at 1900.
The annual product of our factories here
amounts to over 10000, 900 pounds, and
we employ over 10000 operatives. Brook
Ign has three factories, we fifty-fyc.--,
Brooklyn pays out $35o,000 a year in
wages to operatives, we pay considerably
over 81 100000. How these three Brook
Ign factories can pay more money into the
Federal treasury in taxes in one year than
all the Virginia factories do in five years,
is financial puzzle which we hope our
Brooklyn contemporary viii aid us in I'M
