This aggregate, it will be observed,
far exceeds twice the amount of surplus
estimated by the Auditor of State to be
available for these objects. Doubtless
additional appropriations for purposes
not enumerated above, will be deemed
advisable by the General Assembly.
Great care will therefore be required to
keep the appropriations within the
estimated receipts of the treasury, or
else to provide additional means where
with to meet them. Here I would sug.
gest that 1t would be we'll to authorize
larger levy at least for the year of the
legislative session. The expenses of the
session, with the numerous miscellaneous
appropriations made at each, naturally
cause the outlay of that year to exceed
very largely that of the remainder of
the fiscal term. The first year of the
biennial period, Immediately preceding
the one now under review, witnessed an
expenditure of $23S, 7O9.43 in excess of
that Of the other year, Notwithstanding
that during the latter the General As.
sembly held an adjourned session, and
the code adopted at that session
was printed, necessarily entailing
unusual outlay. During the term
just ended, the excess the first year was
$153, 705.40, much less than in the pre-
ceding period, but still too large. This
reduction was mainly due to the fact

penditures to the smallest outlay has
been prepared from the records, by the

Attention thereto is invited. The ex-
animation of these reports will commend
to the people of Iowa the care, economy,
and good judgment with which this
enterprise has been supervised oy the

The beauty and durability of the stone

delays and disappointments, the perfect
character of the work so far as advanced,
and the symmetrical plan of the struct-
ure, are assurances that Iowa will
soon have o capitol which will
compare favorably with any public
building in the country. And as l shall
no longer have an official connection

not be improper for me to say, that the
earnestuess and singleness Of purpose
with which the four gentlemen who sign
this report have performed their duties,
and the zeal and intelligence with which
they have sought to give the State the
best possible results with the least pos.
sible cost, have challenged and received

THE THIRTEENTH CENSUS.
You have before you the voluminous
and valuable report of the Thirteenth
Census Of the State, taken and COM
piled under the immediate supervision
of the Secretary of State. The popula.
ton Of the State is shown to have been
year ago, 1,350,544, double what 1t
was in 1860, and four times as much IS
In 1854; rapidity of growth almost, if
not quite, unparalleled. The amount of
products, both of the farm, the mine,
and the factory, as shown by this census,
exhibits still more rapid and vigorous
growth. The wheat production appears
to be five times as great as that of 1854,
and that of corn three times as great as
in that year; and nearly all products of
the farm, and the amount of all kinds of
hive stock have increased in large ratios.
The yield of coal has multiplied enor-
mously, while our manufactures were
more than five times as productive in
1874 as in 1864. The entire showing of
this census, prepared as it has been, is
an extremely valuable contribution to
the statistics OF the nations centennial.
l commend to the consideration of the
General Assembly the observations OF
tho Executive Council upon the mode Of
taking our State census.
As the constitution provides that the ap
portionment for the House of Represent
tatiyes shall take place at every regular
session, suggest that an enumeration O
the inhabitants of the State be ordered
! to be taken in 1877, in order to furnish

MAHOMETS STANDARD.

The Turks are at war and have thrown
to the breeze the famous standard OF the
Prophet. So the papers say, and are right
thus far but when they add that the stand
ard in question is green, they only contri-
butte to the dissemination of popular err
ror. The banners used by the Turks in
battle have from time immemorial been of
different colOrs, but the great standard of
Mahomet, " the flag of the Prophet" is not
green but black, as indeed it should be-,
seeing that it was designed originally as q
contrast and reprOOf to the white flag of
the Koreishites. Besides, Mabomet himself
gave it the express name of OkGb, or black
eagle. The first standard of the Prophet
was the white turban of BOreide, whom he
had captured /; afterwards he adopted az a
distinctive ensign the black curtain that
hung at the entrance of the tent of Ayesha,
his wife. This holy flag is preserved by the
pious Mussuimans as one of their most ga
cred treasures. 1t is wrapped in forty-two
coverings of satin and locked in a costly
chest, placed in a sort of chapel, in the in
moet recesses of the seraglio. 1t is only
unfurled at critical periods, such as revolts,
civil wars or imminent invasiOns. When
the ceremony of unfurling it takes place,
the criers give three days notice, in order
that infidels may depart from the neigh
borhood of the SandShdk, as should it's folds
be contaminated by their profane regards
they would Immediately be put to death.
This famous flag first fell into the hands of
the partisaps of Omar, at Damascus thence
it passed to the Abassidcs, and from them
to the bloody handed Selm l., arriving in
Europe during the reign of Amurath III.
Whatever the faithful themselves may pre-
tend, there is little doubt that not more
than the merest fragment-if so mach-of
the original standard remains after the
stormy centuries of war and civil tamult
through which the nation has passed, and
in whose genes the flag must of necessity
have figured.

LETTER FROM MOBILE.

MOBILE, October ., 1876.
EditOr Morning Star:
About 10 O'Clock last Friday, at the Provi
dence Inirmary, Sister Cleophas departed this
life after q painful and lingering illness, the
suferings of which she bore with the
Christian fortitude of n true follower of the
Man of Sorrows. Saturday morning, Father
Brown, assisted by Fathers Sierra and Morrow,
celebrated Requiem Mass, and the remains
we're exposed until the evening hour for inter
ment. The corteGe consisted of sisters priests,
and religious from all the ecclesiasticnl nstitu-
tions of the city, besides a very numerous
gathering Of the laity.
Father Imsand has been SO unwell for some
time, that his removal to the Infirmary was
necessitated few days ago.
In st. Joseph's church yesterday SUNDAY
Father Deynoodt delivered the promised lecture
on 1ntemperance. The affair was carried out
under the auspices of the Catholic r. A.
Society of this city. The lecturer very
happy in his delivery and forcible in the
treatment of his subject, the large audience
being highly delighted. Your correspondent
feels assured that good results will follow, for
which all Catholics should rejoice. ApIEU.

There can be no question:" says the
Saturday Reriec, THAT many of our social
difficulties would be almost entirely mas
tered if young ladies would consent to be-
come lady helps 10 their own homes. Nothing
can be more intolerable than the mismsnage-
ment and discomfort to be found in plenty
households where there plenty of grown
up daughters who have really little to do but
grumbe at the dreariness of their lives, aud
fret themselves into permanent nl-health.
Perhaps they take suffi cient interest iu the
housekeeping to wonder contemptuousy how
their mothers can be troubled with such inc til
cient servants, " creatures" who cannot make
palatable coffee and keep the silver bright.
They have no patience with the shortcomings
of the over-worked housemad, from whom
they expect as much attendance as if they had
only u lady's maids duties TO perform. They
cannot think why the gardener does not show
more taste in his arrangement of the flower
beds, and why he does not cut off the withered
roses. Half the young women one meets in
the country sink into Semi,im6eciHty from idle
ness and want of interest in their surroundings.
From mere thoughtleesness and ignorance they
grow up exacting and unreasonable. From
want CT active exercise they become the ready
prey of hysteria, dyspepsia ard spine COM
plants. They marry any one who will have
them, simply because they are so bored that
any change is welcome. They make bad wives
because they have never learned the rudments
of domestic economy. When the unfortunate
mother of such daughters allows herself to be
persuaded to add lady help to her establish
ment, the height of absurdity is reached. Four
or five plain, common place, stupid girls may
lounge, about the house-ouo with piece of
soiled fancy work, another play ing snatches Of
dance music, a third reading French novels on
the sofa, while, perhaps, pretty, graceful lady
lays the fire, dusts the room, and endeavors,
probably in vain, to bring order into the I'M
comfortable and chaotic establishments"
