Speaker kerr's Health.
From a Washington Dispatch.

T'Oll IL VdbHluSCOu AlnPdGCH.J
There is not the slightest foundation for
the statement that Speaker Kerr has ter
percd or intends to tender his resignation
When he arrived here last Friday he told
his intimate friends that his physicians had
advised him not to limit his vacation to ten
days, but extend it until he was sufficiently
recuperated to fulfil the duties of Speaker.
Accordingly he will journey to the pine
groves of North Carolina, stopping at Rich
mond and Norfolk en- route. He has merely
requested that when his present leave ex-
pires that it may be extended until the lat
ter part of the month. His most intimate
friends, however, are not, as has already
been intimated in the papers confident OF his
being again able to discharge the duties OF
Speaker during the summer months.
1t is conceded that Mr.. Cox will continue
to preside, his promptness, fairness, and his
ready knowledge of Parliamentary rulings
enabling him to despatch business with
great faciity--a great requisite for the pre-
siding officer during the closing hours OF
the session.

Household Hints.

ORANGE CoRDIAL.-Fill an air-tight jar
with orange peel, thcn pour on 1t some
good whisky. After keeping 1t several
weeks make a syrup, and add the whisky
to suit the taste. 1t makes delicious cor
dial.
VEAL FOR BREAKFAsT.-Take a round
carthen dish and put in it layer Of bread
crumbs. Over these put spots of butter
then layer of minced cold veal, with sail
and pepper; then more crumbs, butter, veal
salt and pepper. When the dish is full
with layer of crumbs for the top, pour
over 1t an egg, beaten well, and mix in hal
cup of milk. If you have gravy it is bet.
ter than milk. Bake until brown.
LEMON CAKE.-Take half cup of but.
ter, one and one-half cups sugar, two cups
sifted flour, three eggs, half teaspoonfu
of soda, half a cup of milk, and the juice
and rind of half lemon. Beat the butter
and sugar together; then beat the eggs as
light as possible, and add them, and then
add the milk; and after beating up light
sift the flour-into which has been previ
ously mixed the soda, lastly, add the lemon
and bake in quick oven.
WHITE PoTATo PIE.-For one good-sized
pie take half pound potatoes, boil and
mash, and while hot squeeze one half a
lemon into it, with good-sized piece Of
butter, add one cupful white sugar, two or
three eggs, half teaspoonful mace and CRATE
nutmeg on top Of pie.
STEwED BEEF.-Take two pounds of raw
beef, cut it in nch-square pieces, put in a
saucepan, and cover with cold water; let ii
cook slowly for four hours, then the gravy
will be rich, brown color; dredge sufficient
flour in to thicken the gravy, and salt and
pepper to taste, and serve; If liked, two
onions may be added when half done, but it
is very nice without.

Treasury BOOk-KeeDing,

The intricacies of the Treasury accounts have
been fruitful subject of discussion and inyes-
tigation by Congress, which usually leaves the
subject after protracted struggle with its
complexities, in about the same state as that in
which it was found. Nearly every session fur
nishes new investigator, who, finding that
he is unable to comprehend the details of the
Treasury reports and undaunted by prior dis
comftures, straightway attacks the system OF ac-
counts followed by the Treasury. When it is
remembered that the simplest set of double
entry accounts would be about as intelligent to
the average Congressman as the Institutes of
Menu in the original tongue, it is not to be
wondered at that he is baffled whenever he at
tempts to wrestle with the debt statement or
the figures of the finance report.
The principal stumbling-block to the lay In.
vestigator is the discrepancy between the actual
cash on deposit and the statements by war
rants. The explanation is simple enough
Under practice 10 vogue ever since the estab-
hsnment OF the Treasury, no money can be
techniealy drawn from or paid into the Treas
ury except on warrant drawn by the Secre-
tary' countersigned by. the First Controller,
VINO Is tne chief accounting officer, and record
ed by the Register, who is the book-keeper and
hles-keeper of the department The manifest
object of this practice is to provide a regular
and systematic mode of receiving and disburs-
ing the money ofthe United States. so as TO
insure that all transactions and entries shall be
objected or checked by the proper officers.
Simple as this plan appears to be, it is in
practice the fornt of nearly all the apparent
discrepancies in the Treasury statements. The
warrants for the payment of money are charged
to the proper accounts as soon as they are
issued, although the drafts drawn to satisfy
them may not be presented for months. On
the other side of the account still greater dis
crepancies occur. Although no money is tech:
nically covered into the Treasury" until the
Secretary has issued his warrant, il would be
plainly impracticable and absurd to delay the
receipt OF money due to the United States until
warrant has been issued directing its pay
ment into the Treasury. 1t is the practice Of
money officers to receive and receipt for money
presented on any account, leaving the s'cover-
ing in to be settled afterwards. The reports
OF the deposits are carefully checked by the
proper officers, and, if the money has been
properly deposited, covering warrant is issued,
carrying it to the credit of the proper fund or
appropriation. If, as often happens, The mon
ey has been improperly deposited, it is re-
funded; but if it be once covered in," 1t
can be drawn out again only by an Apo
