the last session of Congress for the sup>
port of the govern ment during the next
fiscal year, ending June 80, 1874, amount
to $l93, 1905, exclusive OF interest on

more than twenty seven millions over
the appropriations for the current fscal
year ending June 30th next
The Acaldache saws Congress at The
session of 1879 was forced to be ecOnomi'
cal by the necessities of the approaching
Presidential election, and one effect of
the saving is seen in the fact that ut the
session Of 1873 a deficiency" bill has
been passed Of over nine millions Of doll
lars. Comparing the current year with
the next year, the only classes of appro>
priations that are decreased are the
items for the Indians, which fall of about
100000, and for Notifications Sl3S,OOO

We hoped to be with our brethren of
the Press in Lebanon on Thursday last,
but couldn't coax enough delinquents
into the path of "rectitude and virtue" to
do any such thing. In fact, our financial
affairs are entirely too thin to spread as
far out as Lebanon. We are quite sorry
indeed to acknowledge the corn, but it's
all FOG the best no doubt.

DUNLAP SPRINGS. Before the war these
springs, situated four miles south of
Bolivar, were visited by many persons
who found in their waters sure and per-
manent cures for many distressing dis
eases. Since the war, the springs have
been but little used, notwithstanding
their intrinsic worth. Lately, DR.. H w.
Tate and Geo. NJ. Dugan, having
knowledge of their worth, purchased the
lands apon which the springs are located,
and will no doubt ere long have the pleas
ure of seeing them once more opened to
the public, as they are now ready to rent
the same. Here is chance for some
gentleman with a small capital to lay the
foundation for an ample fortune. Who
ever reopens Dunlap Springs is sure to
gain a solid footShold in this community
1t will not cost a great deal to repair the
houses and put the springs in order. We
hope they will be opened the coming
season.

WHAFs THE UsE What's the use of
mindIng what 'they say r. What's the
use lying awake of nights with the un>
kind remark of some false friend running
through your brain like forked lightning?
What's the use of getting into a worry
and fret over gossip that has been set
ahoat to your disadvantage by meddle-
some busybOdy who has more time than
character ? These things can't possibly
injure you, unless, indeed, you take notice
of them, and in combating them give
them character aad standing. If what
is said about you is true, set yourself
right at once if it is false, let it go for
what it will fetch, until it dies of inner
emit weakness.

The PIC-NIO.-It affords as pleasure to
inform our readers that at their meeting
last Friday night, officers and members
of Bolivar Division International Sons of
Temperance resolved to enjoy a genuine
basket pic~nic on the 4th Friday in the
present month, and appointed a compe-
tent committee on arrange ments whose
duty it will be to see in person all of our
citizens and seek their aid and assistance
in the good cause. 1t was also made the
duty of the committee to see the teachers
Of the different day schools and the su-
perinteudents of the Sunday Schools and
ask their assistance. From what we can
learn We feel justified in saying that the
Schools will unite with the Division and
thus doubly insure a gala day toall who
may attend. 1t is not the purpose Of the
Division to incur any expense whatever,
but that each member and all others con-
tribute what they can as a free will offer
ing to an old fashioned and ever enjoy
able basket picnic where the pure waters
of bubbling springs reflect the oak and
naples foliage green.
The committee Of arrangement APP
pointed by the Division is composed of
the following gentlemen: Col NJ. T.
Polk, Jesse Normen, DR. Robert Tate, J.
S. Ferguson, NJ. D. McNeely, N. R. Par
IRISH, and d. w. Parrau.
The committee are empowered to visit
our citizens and solicit laid and comfort
for the inner man" and it is hoped that
none will be found who clnnot at least
elk up" one basket full of substantials
! and nic-nacks for the occasion. Let as
all unite and make the 23d day of May a
/ beautiful gem in memory's priceless
wreath.
The large and rOomY grove in front OF
Col NJ I. Folks residence is the place
selected for the picnic and it is so near
town that the children can walk the dis
lance with ease, and not be subject to che
dangers incident to riding in wagons, etc.

SAND STORM IN CoLoRADo.-Tho Pueblo
People of the 9th Of July relates tho following:
Last Monday, two Mexican boys, Jesus Maria
and Juan de Ia Cruz Limbestero, were taking a
herd of 700 sheep across the sand hills
of tile "Lonas del Arreno," about twenty
four miles northerly from Fort Garland. These
sand hills extend out into the San Luis Valley,
about sixteen miles opposite the Mosco Pass
Tho herders undertook to make "short CUT
across the hills, instead Of going around, as d.
rected by their father. AT first, everything
moved gaily--tbe boys and sheep and dogs only
sank few inches in the light, white sand, and
they thought how foolish it was Of old fogies to
go around 20 miles when IL was only 4 across
but before they got half across one of those sud
den storms arose; up came gentle breeze, the
breeze became a IND, and the wind an awful
hurricane the sand moved about in burning
clouds, hills Changed to holes, and every hole
was q seething cauldron. The poor boys strlig-
gled hard to avert their doom, and Jesus Maria
managed, by drawing his serape oveI his head
and keeping his feet, and climbing as the sand
piled up around him, to survive the tornado
but his younger brother, Juan de Ia Cruz, sue
cumbed 10 the sulfocatng blast, and as a ship
goes down at sea, SO sank this brave boy, sur
rounded by bis beatiag sheep aud whining
dogs and when the storm ceased, as suddenly
as 1t had commenced, little Jesus found him
self all alone, with quiet mounds of glsteaing
sand all around him, and not trace OF the cru
el storm nor wreck Of the sad disaster could
be seen. BE hurried heme, where he arrived
the next day, and told his tale of terror. The
whole plaza turned out to search for the lost boy
and dig out the missing sheep. Up to the sue
ceeding afternoon they had not recovered over
four hundred sheep, and most Of them being
found about six feet below the surface and the
natives from nelghboring plazas have focked 10
the scene, and were busily engaged digging oui
sheep, saving the wool and feasting on mutton

pondent of the New York Tribune tells three
ways Of having apples every year:
l. Take scions from a tree In 1878 and put
them into good thrifty tree, and do the same
In ls74 and you will get fruit in alternate years.
2. II you cut off the thrifty trees the growth
OF 1873 In the last of June, leaving three or four
buds that would come out il 1874, you would
force out the next years buds and gain one
year.
y: II you remove all the blossoms on one
half OF your trees in the bearing year, you will
have fruit on that half the odd wear, These
things have done successfully.
have now in bearing the victory apple of the
odd year produces in this way next year the
scions of the last year will bear on the regular
year.

The CITY HosPIrAL.-Should it turn out
tina. the new City Hospital is not and will not
be needed, for years TO come, we would suggest
that II be converted into house of refuge for
bad boys, vino may be sent to it in place Of the
Jail at New Castle. Had Mr.. Quinn made tie
house of refuge his. hobby and had been success
ful in procuring its erection, We believe lie would
have rendered the city a far greater service, as
il Is more important to take care of the boys
than even of sick and disabled men. A boy
under sixteen years of age should not be sent
to jail, unless can be shown that he is so
greatly debased that there is no reasonable hope
of reformation. The hospital should not ie-
main unoccupied, except by the superintendent
and family, and in tho absence of applicants for
admission, we suggest that ii be used for tho
purpose above named.

SALARIEs.-Wo have always held that the
salaries Of public officers should be similar in
amount to those paid fer services of the same
charadter by private parties. There Is no rea-
son why public officers should be better paid
than other men for the same kind of service
So long as persons possessing good qualifications
can readily ba found to ill public office, here is
no Just reason for an increase of the salary
While competent men are anxious to serve the
city for $500 or $1,000 per year, ii is useless to
increase the salary 10 $1,000 or $1,000, Parlcu.
larry when ther" Is n complaint Of excessive tax
alton. II is true that few hundred dollars
will not add greatly to the entire amount of
expenditures but every dollar counts, and it is
necessary to economics in all quarters so long
us improvements arc not checked CT the pos.
peri'y of the city retarded.

NOT 4 CANDIDATE.-Edai Lewis Of this
city, will not be candidate for the Republican
nomination for the Office of Sheriff, in the com
ing campaign. He holds situation from tho
p. W. & b. Railroad Company, which Is more
pleasant than cavassing for votes, even if moi so
remunerative as the fees of the sheriTs Office
The candidates are therefore reduced to Mcssrs.

there shall be some aspiranis not yet named.
