WASHINGTON, Oct 9.-The First Controller Oh the
Treasury has given opinion different from that
of other accounting officers 10 the effect that the
appropriation made for back pay and salaries is not
indefinite and permanent within the meaning of the
act regulating unoxpcnded balances; that it is only
indefinite in amount and not IN time, and conse-
quently that, at the end Of two years, unexpended

WASHINGTON. Oct. 9.-Up to the close of business
here TODAY the Treasury drafts on the legaltender
reserve had not reached 100000. The present be-
lief at the Department is that not more than S500O
600 or 100000 will be used. The receipts from
customs and internal revenue are daily increasing,
and at rate that indicates that unless matters grow
Unexpectedly worse, the usual figures will be re-
gained by the close of the month After that it is
believed that the present deficiencies will end, and
the receipts will carry the daily rate considerably
above the average. The reserves Will then be called
in again as rapidly as possible.
Assistant Treasurer Hillhouse having inquired
whether he shall make payments of checks to bank
ers who have suspended First Controller Taylor has
sent the following decision:

Rosabel's Husband.

"I'm alraid you'll be like the boy who
won the elephant Rose--now you've got
your husband, you'll be at a loss TO know
what to do with him But you would have
it your own way, you know ?"
Rosabel laughed and set her dainty head
on one side like pretty canary. She was
the smallest, the prettiest, and the most Ut
tectionate little girl in We-terville' and this
was her wedding morn. She had married
Colonel Montraville, very handsome, very
naughty gentleman, and gentleman who
rumor asserted, had sown his wild oats
pretty freely, and even yet was addicted TO
periodical fits of dissipation.
Aunt Moss who had raised Rosabel from
a baby and had endowed her with property
was dreadfully opposed to the match, and
did her utmost to preyentit. But Rossbe
must have her handsome, stately colonel.
They were married and in the bridal cham
ber, while Rose was changing her white
satin for her drab poplin, preparatory TO
setting out on her wedding tour, Aunt
Moss ventured the foregoing remark.
"Of course would, auDtie," responded
Rosabel, as she fastened her garnet sleeve

have got him. I'm in no fear about what
shall do with him."
nWell. am, Rose," replied the old wo-
man, bluntly. "He's a proud, self-willed
man. You'll never rule him, and he will
break your heart with his wild ways"
"Not hs!" retorted Rose, crossing. 70 the
mirror to put in her garnet brooch. My
heart won't be broken, auntie dear, SO don't
fret and think I'll find q way to rule my
colonel. You'll see! Isn't my dress
lovelyf Come, they are calling us. Good
6ye, you darling old auntie. Don't fret
little Rose won coma to grief"
"Heaven grant IT." sobbed Aunt Moss
as she kissed her darling Oood.by. "Heav'
on grant it," she prayed as the carriage
whirled her away.
The wedding tour was over, and Colonel
Montraville and his pretty bride were at
home in their handsome cottage, which was
a wedding gift from Aunt Moss.
Rose had planned a reception, to which
her old friends aud quitsa number OF ne"
ones were invited.
On the evening iu question she stood
on the cottage porch, in her pretty bright
silk, with blue ribbons in her yellow
crimped hlr, awaiting the coming OF he'

How TO CURE A CoLD.-One of oul
citizens who has been troubled with 9
severe cold on the lungs, effected his
recovery in the following simple man
ner: He boiled little boneset and
hoarhound together, and drank freely
of the tea before going to bed. The
next day he took five pills, put one kind
of plaster on his breast, another under
his arm, and still another on his back.
Under advice from an experienced OLD
lady, he took all these off with an oys.
ter knife in the afternoon, and slapped
on mustard paste instead. His mother
put some onion drafts on his feet, and
gave him lump Of tar to swallow.
Then he put some hot bricks to his feet
and went to bed. Next morning an
other old lady came in with bottle of
goose oil, and gave him dose OF it in
a quill, and an aunt arrived about the
same time from Bethel, with bundle
of sweet fern, which she made into tea
and gave him every half hour until
noon, when he took a big dose of salts.
After dinner his wife, who had seen a
fine old lady of great experience in
doctoring, on Franklin street, gave him
two pills of her own make, about the
size of an English walnut and of a sim
liar shape, and two tablespoonful of
homemade balsam to keep them down.
Then he took half pint of hot rum
at the suggestion of an old sea captain
in the next house, and steamed his legs
with an alcohol bath At this crisis
two of the neighbors arrived, who saw
at once that his blood was out of order,
and gave him half gallon of spear
mint tea, and big dose of castor OIL
Before going to bed he took eight of a
new kind OF. pills, wrapped about his
neck flannel soaked in hot vinegar
and salt, and had feathers burnt on a
hot shovel in his room. He is now
thoroughly cured, and full of gratitude
We advise our readers TO cut this out,
and keep it where it can easily be found

A HORRIBLE PIT.

We are told a horrible story OF the
dark and bloody days of Virginia Dy
one of the oldest policemen OF tha'

thatten feetnorth of the fire-cistern at the
corner of B and Union streets, near the
middle of B street, is an old shaft about
eighty feet in depth, in which he the
bodies or rather bones of thirty men
that were murdered in early days and
tumbled into the shaft for concealment.
He says they were mostly strangers,
who were stabbed or slung-shotted tor
their money, though he says few VINO
died from the effects Of drugs or bad
whiskey were also dumped into the
great charnel pit. In going to our
lodging last night our informant accom-
panied us. Our road led past the place
where the old shaft is located. 1t was
lust the witching hour of midnight
when we came to the spot, the hour
when ghosts are supposed to walk.

distance from the cistern-cover with his
eve, Gust about here" marking out a
circle with his cane, sis the old shaft,

He is not certain whether the shaft
was filled up with waste dirt or wheth-
