FINANCES.

The condition of our State finances
deman s your most serious attention.
The rel bort of the State Auditor will
show y deficit for the past year of
nearly Two millions of dollars. This
has been caused by the inefficiency of
tax collectors and the enormous ap-
preparations made at the last session
of the General Assembly in excess of
the revenue. To meet this deficiency
two things are necessary First, a re-
ductiol to the minimum of all the ex-
penses bf the government; and sec
ond, AZ igorous and efficient collec-
tion otV The revenue. This is practica-
BILE, an the best solution to the prob
lem l ave been able to devise.
The Amount necessary to pay sala-
RES of officers need not exceed $780,
600; that for mileage and per diem of
members and the contingent expenses
of the General Assembly need not ex-
ceed $l25, 900; while all other expen-
ses, pAFable from the general fund,
includ& &g those necessary for the sup
port of he militia, of public institu-
tiont o. 3a charitable character, such as
institutions for the deaf, dumb and
blind. the Insane Asylum and the
Charity Hospital of New Orleans, and
for the rent of public buildings, ETC.,
need not exceed S420,650
The interest on our State debt
amounts to 81, ,403, $40 per anntim. 1t
requires $400,0O0 to maintain our
public school system.
The bur mills assessed for the gen.
eral fus / is believed to be sufficient
to pay he salaries of officers and the
eexpenses of the machinery of
the government. 1t is doubtless enough

enn)jSh Beer.

1t is interesting to learn something of the
national beverage of Great Britain. The
English town Of Burton-on-Trcnt Is almost
wholly given up to the manufacture OF beer.
In fact the breweries are the town, and the
interstices between the breweries simply con-
tain some dwelling houses. The immense
breweries of Bass, Allsopp. lnde, Coope:
WorthingtOn, salt, Nunneley, Evershed and
Robinson, are all there, besides others OF lesser
note. Bass alone has three breweries there,
covering altogether a little over 100 acres OF
ground. Bass used last year 267 900 quarters
Of malt for brewing purposes; il 1t be reckoned
that an acre grows four quarters OF barley,
66, 75O acres were occupied In growing the
malt which Bass used. OF hops his consump-
ton was $4,000 cwt.. which engrossed about
2, 900 acres of hOp-grOwing country. In matt
tax and license duty Bass paid last year t2OO,.
600. The total brew of Bass during the past
wear amounted " 720, 900 barrels-each barrel
Containing thirty-siX gallons: so that bass
could have served more than half the cstima-
| ted number of the human race with glass
of beer per head from his brewing Of one year.
Throughout his Burton premises BASS owns
over five miles of private railway, runs hve
private locomotives, and use twenty six steam
engines. with a collective horsepower OF 436
Bass employs in Burton over 1000 persons
I and pays more than f2.0o0in weekly wages.
Bass used last year 81, 800 tons OF coal. bass
lhas in use $4,000 butts, $4,000 hOgsheads,
lis. 900 barrels, and 2i9, 900 kilderkins, STOCK
Of casks in all, in store and scattered over TIT
country exceeding half a million.

A most melancholy homicide occurred in Balti-

Of this week, Mr.. John n. Fitzsimmons and Mr.

who were nei ishbors to each other, quarrelled

1870, and he estimated the cost for mail bags
for 1928 at &lSO, 900. Then look at the cost
of the mail locks and keys in 1860. Ihe cosl
of keys and locks was about 15 per cent on
the cost of the mail-bags. In 1871 II was 81
per cent. Either there were too many LOCKS
and keys for the bags or there were TOO leW

there was too little court house for the carpets

THE NEW YORK GAS COMPANIES charged
that city in 1871 with es4l ,436al 10I @ oe.l
months' gas bill for 1881 lamps. The con.
troller had the lamps counted: and found that
235 more were charged for than were IN USE !,
also that S39 privats lamps were being pa,,a
for by the city, "some decorating the grounas
of prominent politicians, others lighting .ne
entrances to political clubs, hotels, dram shops
and oyster saloons; others advertising quack
medicines and places of amusement" The
bills charged more per thousand feet tnan
private citizens paid. They were cut aown
70 the customary price, and saving was IN aae
of S237, 900. 1t Is not to be supposed, OF cou,se
that gas companies in other cities would follow
Shis nernicious New York example.

EXPLOSION OF A BR1Lows. "a singu-
lar accident is recorded in the Louisville
Courier. journal A Mr.. Veitch, black
smith. in that city. commenced his work
early in the morning, as usual, by blow
inga fire in the forge by means of his
bellows. After pumping at the lever for
some time. the coal being we'll lighted
and everything ready, it seems that he
leaned upon the lever until all the air
had escaped from the bellows, and when
he relieved it OF the weight, the bellows
filled with the gas from the Jorge instead
OF drawing air through the valve under
meath. In an instant the gas was ignited
by the fire in the forge, and q terrific
explosion occurred, which sounded like
the firing of cannon. The bellows
was torn to pieces. Several iron mis-.
slles lying on the concern were hurled
to the roof of the building, and large
hammer was sent whirling CLOSE to Mr..
veitch's head. Fortunately, no serious
damage was done except to the bellows,
which was torn to pieces, and to the
nerves OF Mr.. Veitch, who was badly
frightened:

publishes Tho following: !. 81.
There is ct present living at the, San
Gabriel Mission, an old native Califor.
nian lady, whose eyes haye seen the
passing away OF several generations.
She claims to. be 1872 years old. She
was mother at the time the Mission
Church was built-102 years ago. Her
hair Is az white as driven snow; but her
eJe,sight is as keen as that Of child,
and her step as firm as that of woman
century younger. She is an expert as
o worker OF embroidery. and executes
the finest work without the aid OF
glasses. Every day, weather permitting,
she may be seen in the fields or orchards
near by her residence. busy at work
with her needle. A specimen Of her
handiwork was exhibited in the indus
trial department Of the last agricultural
fair, and drew forth the admiration of
oil those who saw it. Her memory is
unimpaired, and she converses viva.
ciousiy of events OF the past appertsin-
ing to the San Gabriel Valley-her
world. She recalls without hesitation
tho "reminiscences of her younger days.
and recounts them with evident pleasure
to those who feel sufficiently interested
in II snch matters as to ply her with quea-
tions relating to them. In all appear.
ances, the old lady gives fair promise to
survive many Of us who are more than q
century her junior.
