The Chicago Journal places the loss
which Chicago will incur by reason of the
stoppage of the Fas, Mail at 800, 900 per
annum. All the other places along the
route between New York and st. Louis
will be damaged to greater or less
amount. and the sum total of loss will be
vastly in excess of any gain. And thus
once more the kind of craftsmanship
which stops the flow at the spigot without
regard to the greater drain at the bung-
hole, is indicated in the persons of the
democrats of the House Of Representa-
tiyes.

Reducing Expenses.


During the war, from an infa.
ted currency, the expenses of the
government and of individuals
were increased to a point far be.
yond anything ever before known
in the history of the country
Under the pressure of hard times,
prudent business men have found
it necessary to curtail expenses
in every possible way, and there
is no reason why the same system
OF economy should not be applied
to the affairs of the national gov
ernment. The Democratic ma
jority in Congress have seriously
given themselves to thi, task, by
looping eff useless expenditures,
aud curtailing the enormous sala-
ries and perquisites of favored
officers Of the government. The
result, we hope, will in time be
seen in a purer condition of af-
fairs at Washington and a de-
crease in the national debt.
The New York World re-
marks upon this subject as fol-
lows:
"The Democratic committees
are steadily putting the pruning
knife of retrenchment where it
will do most good. A considera-
BILE reduction has been made to the
pay Of officers of the army and a
stop put to the sEindling system
whereby Second Lieutenant-Colo-
mel Fred Grant, though but a
second lieutenant and a second
lieutenant who had not per-
formed the active service exac-
ted of less fortunate second
lieutenants) assumed the rank
and secured the emoluments Of
a al;eutenant-colonel. The House
Committee on Appropriation
has at the same time reduced
the item for Notifications from
100000 to $315,O00, a re-
duction to be commended
Many of the works on which
we have lavished millions of
dollars are worthless for pur-
poses of defence, and to sink
other millions in costly stone
forts that must in the event of
o war be abandoned for earth
works is worse than absurd. 1t
is to,be hoped that the commit
tee will deal as freely and just
ly with the river and harbor ap-
preparations when they come

Burned to Death by a Me-
., toOr.
ST. Louis Renuhlican,

An intelligent black boy was
trudging along highway at
night in the vicinity of Pales-
tine, Texas. There was a ne
gro woman riding a horse in
the same direction the boy was
going. The intelligent black
boy reappeared in Palestine that
night out Of breath and as pale
as he could get. He said he
saw a ball of fire come out of
the sky and strike the woman
and set her ablaze. The horse
ran one way with the woman "a
fire on his back, and he ran back
to town to tell the people what
had happened. The people went
to look after further particulars
of the curious incident. They
found the woman lying on the
ground, with all her clothing
burned off, but with life enough
in her to tell that she had been
struck in the breast by a ball
of fire. The horse was found
with his name singed, and tie
woman died the next day. The
people think she was hit by a
meteor.

a Gauger Shows the
Profits Of Legitimate
Dfstilling.

A correspondent of the Nor
ristown Gazette, in Lee Valley,
gives the following points from
which the profits of the liquor
traffic can readily be SEEM
"Perhaps a few items CLEANED
from a United States Gauger
may interest some of your read
ers, and contain some useful in
formation. / have been as
signed to the dlstillery of Col.
William Greene, as United
States Gauger, since the Goth
of last May, and will base my
remarks on my knowledge Of
his operations. His distilleIy
produces, on an average 343
gallons proof spirits per day.
the tax on which, at 80 cents
per gallon, amounts to $20.25;
Storekeeper's salary, Gauger's
fees, and other expenses of col
lection, will amount to, say,
$500, leaving $12 per day to
the Government, or the neat lit
tie sum of $3.50 per year net
profit to Unicle Sam on one
small distillcry.
THE PROFITS.
owe will now take a glance
at the distiller's profits. A
good article of corn whisky
will sell readily at 81 per gallon,
the distiller's share of which,
after paying the tax, is $1.10
per gallon, which for one days
production would he $24.75.-
Deduct the expense for one day {:
First the interest on his capital
invested is not more than so
cents; ten bushels of corn, the
amount used each day, would
be 81 at the current price; but
half Of that can be saved by feed
ing the slop to hogs, so that we
will put down 81 for corn; one
and a half cords furnace wood
at so cents will be rs cents;
three regular work-hands, at so
cents each, is $1.50; one practi-
cal distiller, 81; allow S2,75 per
day for boarding the hands, and
we have a total of $3.50 expen-
ses; deduct this from $24.75,and
it leaves a net profit of $16.25
to the distiIler per day, or the
very comfortable income of ST.
9S6.25 per year in return for,
say, 81, 900 invested and man
aged with anything like energy
and judgment. These figures
are correct, and will show your
the difference between
a legitimate, tax-paying enter
prise, and the illicit moonshine
mode of distilling.

AnOdd Detection.

About 7:20 last evening an ell
derly man named James Ryan
fell at the corner of Washington
and Warrenton streets while in.
toxicated and hurt himself badly.
A crowd Immediately gathered,
but though the man laid there
unable to move no one essayed to
assist him up, till young fellow
forced his way through the crowd
and made himself very o6icious
in his efforts to get the old man
home. Meanwhile, another man
in the crowd had seen this young
man counting some money in a
neighboring doorway and suspec-
ted that he might have knocked
the old man down and robbed
him. Officer Maynard was sum-
moned and both men were taken
to the Fourth Police Station, and
on searching the young man, who
gave his name as Michael Taylor,
$429 we're found on his person,
which he said belonged to his
aunt, Mrs. Catharine Mahoney,
at No. IL Newton place. Officer
Maynard went TO the house, and
on investigation Mrs. Mahoney
found that $40 had been taken
from under a certain carpet, and
young Taylor is held for taking
it. Thus an attempt 10 do an
act of kindness resulted in bis
being detected in a crime.

CIoudedS Stars.


ClOuded Stars.
The daylight was fading softly,
And shut up my book with sigh,
To wait for the lamps ofthe evening
To brighten the starlit sky;
And one after one they spangled
The beautiful arch above;
And answered my gaze as softly .a
As the eyes of the friends love.
But as soon o'er the blue sky,s bosom,
A shadowy cloud was drawn,
And the stars that had beamed so brightly
Were from their places gone:
Yet knew they were calmly shining,
Where the sky is forever clear, -rsf
And knew that by patient waiting,
l should see them at length appear.
Then softly, o very softly,
A delicate breeze swept by,
And brushed with its airy pinions
The clouds from the azure sky;
And there, in their tranquil beauty,
Like pearls in crystal rill,
The beautiful stars Of Heaven,
Were shining above me still.
All thus from affections circle
The Jewels of love depart,
Thus faileth the clouds of darkness
And gloom on the morning heart;
But when from our fearful faces
The shadows of earth shall fall
When we put on our robes immortal,
Then, then shall we see them all.

on his old friend, and demanding
the last farthing, he wrote on the
back OF the note: "For the re-.

ent of the within note," and for
warded the paper by safe hands
