1t will be observed that if we can collect

(Which includes the tax on railrOads) and

the expenditure is TO be made, then we
should fall short of paying all outstanding
claims against the Treasury for one year
$3.50, So, but would have enough to paw
all except the outstanding Warrant Ac-
count. And since the repeal of the law
making the interest preferred claim, the
warrants must be paid. One fact must not
be lost sight of, in providing means to pay our
liabilities. Our collections are so uncer-
tain that the taxes levied for any one year,
to meet the expenses of that year, do not
reach the Treasury, except in about the
proportion Of sixty per cent. during the
year for which the levy is made, and the
remainder (at all collectable) within the
next two or three years, so that deficits will
always occur, and can be met only by ex-
cessive leYies, or by temporary loans.

Wonderful Memories.

Pliny says that Cyrus hal q memory
so prodigious that he could name every
officer and soldier in his armies; and
that Lucius ScipIo knew every Roman
citizen by name when that city contained
more than two hundred thousand capa-
BILE of bearing arms. Seneca speaks Of
a friend, PontIus Latro, who could repeat
verbatim all the speeches he had heard
declaimed by the Roman orators. 1t. is
said that Joseph Scaliger committed to
memory both the Had and the Odyssey
in twenty-ohe days.
Sir William Hamilton tells OF young
Corsican of good, family who had gone
to Padua to study civil law, in which he
soon distinguished himself. "He was q
frequent visitor at the house and gar
dens of Muretus, who, having heard that
he possessed a remarkable art or faculty
OF memory, Though incredulous in re-
gard to reports, took occasion to re-
quest from him specimen OF his power.
"He at once agreed; and, having ad-
journed with considerable party OF
distinguished auditors into saloon,
Muretus began to dictate words, Latin,
Greek, barbarous, significant and non
significant, dlsjointed and connected,
until he wearied himself, the young man
who wrote them down, and the audience
who were present; I'VE were all, he says,
| 'marvelously tlrel.' Tue Corsican alone
was the one of the whole company alert
and fresh, and continually desired Md
retus tor more words, who declared he
would be more than satisfied il he could
repeat the half of What he had taken
down, and at length he ceased. The
young man, with his gaze liked upon
the ground, stood silent for u Drie1
season; and then says Munetus, 'V1dl
tacinus miriticissimum.' Having begun
to speak, he absolutely repeated The
whole words in the same order in which
they had been delivered, without the
slightest hesitation; then, commencing
from the last he repeated them DacK-
ward till he game to The first.
"Then.again. SO that he spoke the trst,
the third, the fifth, and So on; did TINS in
any order that WAS asked, and all with
out the smallest error. Having subse-
quently become famlliarly acquainted
with him, l have had other and frequent
experience of his power. He assured

GOethe's Mother.

The most widely known and loved
member of Goethe's family was his
mother. She possessed the qualities
which win atfection-a joyous tempera-
ment, a strong desire to please every
one, a lively imagination, hearty good
nature, and great coumon sense. Ii er
youth and ineXper1ence at the time OF
ner marriage have already been alluded
to. But sue could not long remain a
child in the difficult position in which
she found herself between the children
and the siren eXacting father. All her
energies were bent to secure tranquility
in the household, and she was the pilot
who, with ready skill and quick wit,
carried them all safely through many a
stormy passage.
The Frau Rath survived her husband
twenty-slX years, and this was the hap
piest peyiod OF her life, when she saw
realized all her fondest anticipations of
her sons genius, and felt that there was
no prOuder title than that OF GOethe's
mother. She concealed her JOY and eX-
altation behind no thin mask OF shy mess,
but openly laid claim to the honor she
thought her due. She was very fond OF
singing in the circle of her friends her
sons songs, which had been set to mu-
sic by Relchardt; the song in "Faust,"
"Es war einmal elm Koenig," she was
especially fond OF; she wopld call upon
the company TO make chorus, and at
the conclusion would pace her nand
upon her heart and proudly explain,

1t seems as if American readers must
be tired by this time Of the ordinary
English -society-novel, procurable IN any
quantity at a cheap rate. 1t has to do
with q form of social lie more conven-
tional than our own, with scenery less
grand and attractive, with personalities
more feebly individualized, and with
events and Incidents as much less inter-
esting than those of American life as
the conditions of English lite are more
artificial than ours. Men may talk as
they choose, or as they believe, about
age as being necessary to the creation OF
an atmosphere of romance. We do not
agree with them. A chllu's age Of ro-
nance is its own childhood. The life it
lives, and the things it sees about it.,
form its romantic realm; and the child
hood of nation is peculiarly it's roman
tic age, not only to the age which sue
ceeds it, but to itself. There Is nothing
more interesting to AN American than a
good story, either of bis own time or of
the time which has hardly retired from
his personal memory.-Dr. j. G. Hoi-
land; Sciibner Tor November.

William and Mary College.

"William and Mary" the eldest of
Americ an colleges, with the single eX-
ception of Harvard University, has so
many historical associations connected
with it, that iull and minute history of
it from its foundation to the present
time would be almost the history OF VIr-
ginia. 1T began its career soon alter
tue settlement of the country, and is,
consequently, now nearly two hundred
years old. During all this long period it
played an important part, first In the
colony, and then in the commonwealth.
Founded in the reign of William and
Mary, IL was fiourishing instltuti,n N
when Marlborough was lighting Louis
XIV, and Addison was writing the
spectator" The royal governors; from
SpotsWood to Dunmore, began and end
ed their official careers, ,and the country,
from being dependency Of the British
Crown, became q great confederated re-
public, and the old college was still in
the full tide Of It's energy and useful
ness,
From its situation at Williamsburg,
the colonial capital, 1t witnessed and
was part of all that was eminent,
brilliant and attractive in Virginia So
ciety. The sons OF the planters were
uniformly sent to the college to be edu.
Gated, and the sons in turn sent their
own sons to the venerable institution.
1t was always regarded ~ an important
and conspicuous feature of the "vicere-
gal court" under the old royal rulers,
and had in its library rare volumes with
the coats-of-arms OF kings and noblemen
who had delighted In connecting their
ames with it's history. -.-s

any eminence in the eighteenth century
had been trained for his work in the

seven OF Its students to the army In the

twenty members Of Congress, fifteen
United States Senators, seventeen Gov
ernors, thEty-seyen Judges, a Lieuten-
ant-General and other hiXn officers to
the army, two Commodores to the navy,
twelve Professors, four slgners OF the
Declaration OF Independence, seven
Cabinet officers, the chief draughtsman

Randolph; the most eminent Of the
Chief-J ustices, John Marshall, and three
Presidents OF the United States. And

and even then it was essential
that he be person of great

changed, and through the energy of the

all branches Of ofliterature, art and science
and the education of the masses to an
appreciation of the benefits of the sys-

most popular of our entertainments.
