THIEVES IN THE TREASURY DEpAy

THIEVES IN THE TREASURY DEPART
MENT.-The official records of the
Treasury show that for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1872, ont of a contin-
gent fund of S49,9I6. S7,563 w.s for
horses and carriages, distributed under
the following heads:
Horses, 5000; carriages, $500: repairs
of wagons, $3,I76; harness, $l45; re-
pairs of harness, 1885; care Of horses,
1924; slloeing CT horses, 1881; oats,
81 1886; hay, s54G; straw, $l45.
Besides this there is regular con-
tract with the express company, under
which large part of the hauling for
the departments is done, but still over
81 200 was paid for hauling which
neither express nor treasury wagons
did. 1t will be seen from the above
figures that nearly one sixth of the
contingent fund of the Treasury was
used for carriages and horses. Among
the items for repairing carriages is one
of $3.50 and another OF $3.50. While it
is claimed that these carriages are kept
to transact department. business and
do the general running about, the pur-
chase of street ar tickets for the year
amounted to S43,O00.-L Tribune.

A STARTLING SwArEMENT.-Whe
MI. Dawes states that the pay of the
President, including salary and per-
quisites, amounts 10 100000 for a
presidential term, he states a fact that
commands the attention of the country.
At that rate of pay the office of Presi-
dent will be sought for it's pecuniary
value. Aud when We arrive at that
point we have entered upon the down
slope in the history of this republic.

A YANKEES OPINION OF THE Rus
SIAN GOVERNMENTAL letter t o a
friend. United States Minister Jewell
gives his impressions of Russia briefly
as follows: "This Government is of
its kind perfection and clock work it.
self. The Emperor is man of brains,
force aud progress, and l think lie has
a real love for his people. They GER
tainly appear very fond Of him, all
classes. He appoints the Council, Sen
ate, and courts, and these make and
execute the laws. His displeasure is
not a pleasant thing to incur. The
people may DO no more honest than
ours, but exposure is too risky. So
the shells are never filed with sand
nor do the troops run. The most
powerful man here after the Emperor
is 'Tliloff,' Chief of Police-a man Of
wonderful executive ability-always
at a fire, a row, or parade. He is
always just behind the Emperor when
out, and says who may come and who
may go, and who shall be tried too, I
think, and perhaps who may be con-
victed, He just runs this city, and
does it to perfection. l send to him
to get Americans out of scrapes. or out
of the country, or to do anything else.
All know is that it is done. His
despatch to the frontier lets anybody
in or out or stops them for examina-
ton. He is said to be very just man,
as he certainly is very active one"

1t was an Irish sailor who visited a
city where, he said, they copper-bot-
toned the roofs of their houses with
sheet-lead. Perhaps it was the same
man who saw a white black-bird sit

red blackberry.
"A member of Congress began a
speech as follows: "Mr Speaker, the
generality of mankind in general are
disposed to exercise oppression on the
generality of mankind in general"
when lie was pulled down to his seat
by afriend, with the remark, "You'd
better stop; you are coming out of the
| same hole as you went in at"
"A farmer living near Brookvillc
attempted to scare an old worthless
dog from his place; so he put fuse
near the dogs nose and coal of fire
near it; then, to connect the fire to tho
pile of powder, he commenced pour
ing some powder out of the horn on
the coal. An explosion occurred.-
The farmer hasn't seen the dog since,
but with medical aid and good care it
is thought he can see the dog in about
three weeks.
( AT school examination one of
the visitors made a brief address to the

REBECCA DOBBS,
BY H. Z. NJ.

Rebecca Dobbs had most flashing eyes
Her nose twas twister, o
When she laughed her mouth was lik
A doublc-trigsered blister.
She had white teeth and she was goo,
At eatin' and at jawin';
When she laughed you'd feel quite sur
A saw-mill saw was saving. n
She had big fcet-most awful big
The biggest in creation
Indeed, 4 few such feet as her'n
Would kiver Il plantation.
She wore big hoops and was as tall
As Felix Patrick Ryan;
And when she ran guess you'd think
1t was corn crib flying.
She fell in love with Sammy Ray,
She thought that he would suit her:
And so size writ and said to him,
81 think you are a shooter"
81 think I'd like to have you, Sam,
You are stylish critter;
And Samuel, dear, you look to me
Just like a buttered fritter.
"Now, Samuel, do not break my heart,
And send me way pinin',
For if you do I'll drown myself
AS sure's the suns a shinin'."
But Samuel needed not her words,
He said She was looney;
He'd never marry sich gal
She was too big and spooney.
81 swow," said Sam, IL think this world
Is going straight to ruin;
I'm sure the gal is wumblcchunked
Aud don't know what she's dom.
Galore I'd marry sicha gal
I'd drink the English channel,
Or eat hundred yards or more
Of red and striped flannel.
would not have her if she was
As rich as Mr.. Cresus,
Nor if she had million mules
Aud forty thousand geeses.
and So" said Sam, "I'll pack my duds
And sail upon the river,
And when Pm far, oh, far away,
l guess, that she'll rekiver.''
But when she found that Sam was gone,
Her only darling Teller,
She plunged into Il big frog-pond
And sailed like a umbreller.
But soon. alas! she sunk-"she sunk,n|
She went right down kerflumpus;
fhe waves they closed above her head.
