It will be seen from the above
tabular statement that our State
pays for running its financial
machinery a greater sum in pro-
portion to its population by at
least 800 per cent, in excess of
what she should pay. Hence, the
great necessity for pruning and
equalizing these State expenses of
government; we are therefore of
the opinion that the incoming
Legislature should carefully study
this statistical information, and in
augurate a policy of retrenchment
at once.
Printing bills, and expenditures
for extra clerical help in the
various departments salaries Of
deputies, etc., ETC.; all can nc
doubt be materially reduced.
Officers of a higher grade in the
employ of the Civil Service of the
United States Government, par
ticularly those stationed at the
Mint in Carson, are paid, as it is
we'll known, in United States cur
rency, giving heavy bonds for
faithful performance Of duty, ane
remunerated at yearly stipend o
$4,000; while it will be observed
that deputies at the Capital, in thu
various departments, are paid
respectively: Treasurer's deputy
1850; Controllers deputy, 81, $50
Land Office deputy, $4,000; See

THE plain moral of it all is, that
public companies should stand upon
their own feet, and that they have
no more right to be supported at the
expense of the tax payers than news
papers or any other description OF
private property. We hope Con-
gress will not fail to remember this
when Tom SCOTS huge job is

There has Just died at Cannes, in the
south of France, chitionnier who has
lett fortune OF 100000 francs. The
Journal des Debats, in relating the story,
says that on the day Of his death this
prince OF rag-gatherels sent for q notary,
VINO promptly appeared at the bedside
OF the dying man, and, with the assist
ance OF some witne esses present, wasin
the act OF drawing up awiiiior the DISPOSE
tion of the rag merchants possessions,
when in the middle OF bis dictations the
sick man came to a sudden stop, and
expired without dIVulging the names OF
his intended heirs. In The course oflast
week the relatives OF the dead man, all
very poor working people in the lowest
class of life, aud iii The absence OF a wlu
the presumptive heirs to all his property,
MADE Their appearance at Cannes, when,
at their request and in their presence,
the authorities proceeded with the exc
cution OF an inventory Of all theeffects
held by the late rag merchant.
The first day brOu sht TO light property
| in the shape Of rent-lists, mortgage titles,
coupons payable to bearer, shares Ofsall
sorLs, bank notes, and gold and silver
coin to the amount OF 900 francs, The
second day the relatives, who GOULD
hardly realize or believe in their good
fortune, had some more surprises. liz

ture they found an earlhenware pot filled
to the brim with gold Louis d'ors to the
| amount OF 5000 francs. In cupboard
they also found large quantity Of clolh

one OF the inheritors calling on the no.

TO unfold the packet or sheets, when out

An Odd verdict.

A eomical incident occurred before
Judge Lawrence, in Part Ill Of the Su-
preme Court, New York, a. few days
since. The case OF Lowenstein against
Lowenthal was on trial, and the jury re-
turned to the courtroom after long
and serious deliberation upon the mer-
its Of the aotien. which was brought to
recover about 500 for the sale OF some
damaged lace. The clerk of the court
put the usual inquiry: "Gentlemen Of
the jury, have you agreed on yerdictW
"We have" said the foreman. "How
say youm querled the clerk, "do you
find for the plaintiff or ior the defend
antfn the foreman in respanse handed
up to Judge Lawrence roll OF paper on
which was writtep: "We the jury unan.
imously agree that we can not fad either
for the plaintiff or for the defendant."
The judge, as soon as he could recover
from his astonishment, told the jury that
he would discharge them from a iufther
consideration Of the case.

but has never asserted her rights. The
father Of the family was an English Jew
named Salmon, a lawyer by profession,
and very able man. Soon after he ar
rived in Tahiti he married the wealthy
chiefess mentioned. AS to Mrs. At
water, her many friends will wish her
much Joy. She has been fortunate in
securing young, gallant ana fntelli-
gent husband, and he has been equally
fortunate In capturing the handsomest
and wealthiest girl in the South Sea
Islands.

A Curious Romance.

Norfolk street, Strand, says the Lon
don Court journal, has curious COM
memoratiye monument. An observant
spectator will notice that the first floor
windows of large house at the corner
of Howard street present peculiar ap-
pearance. The shutters are up, and they
are covered thickly with dust, while
through the ehinks can be seen the
blinds, alse thick with dust and molder-
blinds have been in exactly the same
position. untouched, for about fifty
years. During that time no human foot,
1t 10 believed, has entered that room.
And the reason is this:
Fifty years ago o certain n0bleman
was engaged to be married, the day was
| fixed, the wedding morning arrived, the
| breakfast was laid out in that spacious
and handsome room, the bridegroom was
ready to proceed to church, when 1t was
discovered that the bride was missing
note in her handwriting was found ad-
dressed to the bridegroom, briefly in
forming him that she had eloped that
morning with his "best man." gay and
Tilted bridegroom did not say much,
but he went alone to the room
in which the wedding breakfast
was laid out, with his own hands put up
the shutters and drew the blinds, locked
the door and took the key. He gave or.
ders that the door should be nailed up
and barred with padlocked bars, and
that no one should enter the room again.
When the house was let it was stipulate d
that the room In question should remain
untouched, and sum of 62Q0 per annum
was paid to the tenant TO compensate
him FOR the deprivation of the use Of the
some years, but 1t is believed the room
has never been entered since he closed
it, and there are the "wedding meats'
mouldering silently away, and the orna
ments crumhling 70 dust in the tunefeal

Since the war Flotow has been hardly,
and I think unfairly, treated by the
Parisians. Not only have his existing
works been Withdrawn from the roper
toire, but the announcement of new
opera, written expressly for one of the
lyric theaters, has raised storm Of In
dignation as illiberal as 1t is absurd. I
was sorry to see the name Of a talented
musician like Victor Masse appended
to a letter deprecating the acceptance
OF any production emanating from Q
Teutonic brain, and it struck me
as singular that Weber's HFrei-

should still be allowed TO desecrate the
