Appropriations for the Next Fiscal Year,

An examination having been made
by an experienced official of the Gov
eminent, the belief is expressed that,
including all actual or probable de-
ticlencles and the regular expenses of
the Government, the appropriations
that will have to be made by
Congress for the next fiscal year
will not exceed those made for the cur
rent fiscal year by more than 5 per
cent. It will be observed from this,
however, that the admission is male
that the expenses of the Governm ent
during the next fiscal year will be much
greater than even IN the current year,
and the Secretary of the Treasury has
repeatedly stated that the drafts upon
the Treasury resulting from Congress
sional appropriations were excessive.
The appropriations for the support
of the government of the United
States on account of the service, of the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1874, and
of deficiencies for previous years made
by the third session of the Forty-sec-
ond Congress, and on account Of per-
manent and indefinite appropriations
made by that and previous Congresses,
amounted to $172, 900, 70O.82. For the
preceding year the appropriations were
IS, O75, 949. 80 less than the above.
The Treasury Departments summary
of the items of appropriation, when
classified, shows FOR what branches of
the government the appropriations
for the, current fiscal year exceed
those Of the fiscal year Of 1873.
For the current wear the ammo
priations for % the s~ legislative
branch exceeded those of 1873 to the
extent of $1,360. O13 40; for the execu-
tive branch, 3,277, 1888 for minis
and assay Offices, $1,684, 831 for Ter
ritorial Governments, 81, 231, 665 for
the military establishment, "a, 247,
258 So; for the naval establishment,
$4,000, 422. SO; for public works, 3d.
800. 515.34;, for rivers and harbors,
| $214, 900; for public lands, $14, 495,
459; for the postal service, $40, 632.
On the other hand, the appropria-
tions ior 1873 exceeded those Of 1874 to
the extent of .$S45, 531. Is for iudicisl
expenses; $40, 7S4 for foreign inter
course; II, S66 for independent treas
ury; 1854, 920.07 for Indian affairs !;
$685. for forts and Notifications !;
1924, $50 for miscellaneous expenses.
The, appropriations for invalid and
other persons were the same in both
fiscal years, being $50, $50, 900. Accord
ing to- the estimates of the Pension
+ Commissioner, the appropriations Tor
pensions will be about 800, 900 less for
the next fiscal year.

The Free-delIvery System.

A statement of the operations OF the
letter-carrier or free-delivery system,
for the year ending June 80, 1873, has
been prepared, and shows that the ag-
gregate number of pieces handled by
carriers was 3'75, 315,6 73, and the aggre-
gate cost Of the service, Including all
incidentals, was 81, 422, 495. at an aver
age cost of delivery of $40 mills per
piece; the lowest. average being Chica-
go, 2 40 mills. The service has nearly
reached position in which it's expen-
ses will be paid by the local hostages
with which it is credited. AS compared
with the preceding fiscal year, there
were ID, $50, 059 more mail letters, s.
666, 159 more local letters, and 6, 1853, 297
more newspapers delivered; and there
we're 81, 943, 378 more letters collected
than during the previous year, at an
increased cost of the service Of 6-1O
per cent. while the receipts on local
postage increased % IL per cents
Since the first day of last July the free
delivery system has been established
in thirty five additional cities, and will
be extended to all cities having popu-
lation of 90, 900 or upwards.

Canning and Frogs,

In the memoir ofHookham Frere the
following anecdote is given to show
that great men are sometimes astonish-
ingly deficient in their knowledge OF
facts supposed to be generally known
even to common minds: II remem-
Der one day going to consult Canning
on a matter of great Importance to me,
where he was staying. down near En-
field, We walked into the woods to
have quiet talk, and as we passed
some ponds I was surprised to find it
was new light to him that tadpoles
turned into frogs. Now, said Mr..
Frere to his nephew don't you go and
tell that story of Canning to the next
fool you meet Canning could rule and
did rule, great and civilized nation
but in these days people are apt to fan
cy that any one who does not know the
natural history of frogs must be an i'm
beetle in the treatment of men,

THE FIRST PATIENT [. =
TRANSLATED FROM THE GERMAN.

Among the north German students
who received their diplomas at the
medical collegesin Wurzburg, early in
1860, was young Prussian, whom we
will call Heinrich. Report said he be-
longed to no corps, yet there was no
better dancer, fencer, or rider : indeed
the latter accomplishment was pas
sion with him, yet he did not allow it
to divert him from his studies, and he
was said to be favorite with the pro-
fessors.
During the last part of his stay in
the old lefty of bishops he seemed
greatly changed. In his quiet there
was a certain detection, and instead of
joining his friends as formerly, he wan-
dered long hours by himself, accom-
panied by a snow-white greyhound
This extraordinary and symmetrically-
formed animal Heinrich had found
severely wounded, without a master,
and had cured him. AS this was scarce
ly six months before the students COM
menced practice, he jestingly called it
his first patient, and among his ac-
quaiItances the dog soon becameknowD
by this name and would answer to it.
The day came at last for Heinrich to
leave Wurzburg. He had already bid
den ad1eu to his acquaintance, and
was to leave by the early morning
train. Late the previous evening he
left his residence, accompanied as US
ual by Patient, and with hasty steps
proceeded to an adjacent part Of the
city, carefully opened garden door,
let Patient enter, babe him remain,
then cautiously closing the door, hur
ried away. He hastily snatched a
flower in the darkness, which by the
light of the next lamp he dicovered to
be an immortelle.
He remained in the street moment
gazing at the house to which the gar
den belonged. Several windows were
lighted and open, from whence came
the sound of piano and rich So
prano voice.
1T must be!o at last he exclaimed,
half aloud to himself, when he felt
some one touch him on the shoulder;
he turned and to his surprise saw be-
fore him his best friend Earnest.
:" Have you one moment to spare for
me q asked Earnest, his voice slightly
trembling.
.'Two, three; for [ have nothing to
do but return home and try to sleep
till four o'clock tomorrow morning. /"
''Well, let us go then. I have re-
ceived to-day very important news. An
old uncle whom [ never saw has be-
queathed to me his handsome estate,
Rosentbal, in Niederschliesen."
Is wish you JOY, from my heart,
Ernst, u said Heinrich, warmly pressing
the hand of his friend.
Ernst continued "you travel; it
as my purpose to have followed you,

fastened to the bushes and foun on
the ground a courtryman, whose face
was covered with blood and dirt. and
in whom, as wiped away the blood,
found one one of the dearest friends of
my youth. He felt that his last hour
had come Yet he was fully conscious,
and knew me- It was comfort to
him that I, his best friend, could per-
form for HIM this last service of love.
With weak voice he gave me a mes
sage for his parents and bride, and
with one sigh was dead.
After pause Heinrich continued
ALREADY wearied with the great exer
ton after the day of the battle, the
death of my friend SO shocked me that
l fell in dead faint, and might easily
have been taken for dead. But for
you, dear Moritz, would perhaps have
been thrown into the trench and COW
cred with earth, and have been sul1o-
Gated )" and he heartily pressed the
hand of the brother of his Marie.
Moritz replied, Ct came at the right
moment, but neither I nor Marie saved
you, for ] was on the point of leaving
the battle field, as Patients determined
barking around you induced rs to re-
turn. Before us there goes your only
preserver, Patient. +"

garden Of your parents, will, through
him, receive it's reward. l am weary

,rTerrible Steamship Disaster.
COLLISION AT SEA.

A London dispatch of December lst con.
 veys the startling information of another
 of the terrible marine disasters which have
 made the year memorable. By the arrival
 of the ship Tri-Mountain at Cardiff, Wales,
 from New York, the intelligence was there
 received of the loss of the steamer Vile du
 Hayre, which left New York on the 18th
 of November for Hayre, under the con-
 mand of Captain Surmognt, with more than three hundred souls on board.
 At two o'clock on the morning of the 2Srd of November, while all on board ex- eept the working force of the crew were quietly sleeping in their berths, the steam CT was suddenly struck amidship by the British ship Lech Earn from London for New York. The stroke was of such force as to nearly cut the vessel in two, causing it to fill and sink within twelve minutes. Then followed scene of indescribable horror among the panic stricken passen gers. The Loch Earn lowered three boats immediately but only succeeded in saving eighty seven persons, hfty-three of whom are said to have belonged to the steamers crew. Among the saved are ten women. The Vile du Havre was formerly the Napoleon the Third. She was altered and much enlarged last winter, and came here for the first time as the Vile du Havrs on the 9th of April, making the passage from Brest to New York in ten days. With the exception of the Great Eastern, she was the largest steamer that entered New York harbor, her dimensions being 43Ox48 feet. Her carrying capacity was $500 tons weight and measurement. The main sa- loon was fitted up with marble wainscoting of three different varieties. Her uphol- stery was in velvet and the woodwork curved in the most unique design. Her engines were compound direct acting, of S.2OO horse power, and were made by Les lie & Co.,. New Castle, on the Tyne.
 This French line. of steamers carries no steerage passengers, and is line that peo- pie of wealth bound directly for the Con uAent are apt to take. The Vile du Havre was made-over ship. She was, by reason Of her size, being smaller enly than the Great Eastern among steamers, quite diff cult to steer, and this and the weakness that remodeling involves may account for the disaster and the so rapid sinking. It is singular and suggestive that the captain. five officers, fiftyfour of the crew, and on- " twenty y-seven passengers should be say ed.
 Fuller reports received since the above was written seem to indicate that the off, cers of the fated ship did all in their power to save the lives of the passengers.

The grand dedication ball came off as was expected on Thursday eveaing, and considering the fine weather the gathering was rather small. The committee of ar engagements are considering the feasibility of having party every two weeks. It is hoped that they will come to the conclu- sion of having them, ss it will do much to enliven the monotony of our evenings this winter......The roan horse, Family Pet" belonging to J. L.

The last of the course of lectures to young men was given on Sunday evening. Sab Jsct: "Clains of religion on young men." ......The third debate of the F. V. Literary Society comes off on Friday evening of this week. Subject Resolved, ''That the recent capture of the Virginius and the ex- ecution of her officers and several of her crew and passengers, together with the present condition of the government of Cuba, is sufficient cause to justify our government in securing the independence of that island and annexing it to the Unit cd States" If the argument is as long as the subject. it will take at the least estimate week to come to conclusion. As some of our best speakers are on the list, we may expect something worth hearing. There Is talk of new drug store being started in the court house building.
