tConclusion Of Meeting Of l4tA August 1876
The Chairman would, as the Governor had
called on him, say q few words on the subject.
It might be remembered, that the $500 or
5000 are not merely wanted for excuses Il
estimates, for that purpose $500 would be TOO
much, especially in a year in which the build
Ing expenses altogether are calculated to be
low they are also, and especially, wanted for
unforeseen building expenses. We have now
heard, however, from the Governor, that last
year The expenses under this item amounted to
e548, and every year the Council sees an excess
under this head, even from the Committees
Report on The Order Of the Day to day about
the Communal Accounts for lS73-74 it will be
aeen that the amount granted has reached
S479 those expenses had to be made,
and not a word Is said against il by the
Committee 10 its Report. In fact every year
the Council when dealing with the Communal
Accounts afterwards approves the excess,
although it originally only would grant $500.
Under another item, viz the Hospital Expen'
aes, there was also every year a trans.
erosion, because it was not possible before
hand to calculate what would be required
those excuses have been accepted by the Revi-
sion Committees, and afterwards the Coun.
Gil but it was sometimes asked why the full
requisite amount was not asked for tho
Home Government has, from what he has as
ceEtained, also made remarks on II this year
we will have noticed that the amounts are
increased and the Budget Committee has. on
the strength of the preceding years experience.
recommended The increase. l. is Of no use to
put down fictitious amounts in the yearly
grants. which are ~foreseen will be insufficient
for the requirements 1t may be said to be q
sort of admonition TO the Administration to be
saving 10 making public OUTLAWS, butt is of no
use when every year the grant has to be trans.
crossed, because the expense is unavoidable.
and every year the transgression Is passed by
the Council and it should be below the dignity
of the Council TO put down the amount for
Unforeseen Building Repairs at an amount
which Is known beforehand will not suffice for
the immediate requirements. In the face
therefore of the declaration from the Presiden.
cy and of the experience of 8 years, where the
amount was cut down, but greatly exceeded,
IL would be more advisable to grant the
amount that Is requisite and sufficient.
The Speaker (Hanson) was sorry the report
and suggestions of the Committee had met
such disfavour with the Presidency. The Com
n1ittee has this year not done more than what
has always been done by Building Committees;
and one particular instance be remembered
where the Government had proposed about
$4,000 for building works; the Committee re-
commended and the Council agreed that the
work oould be done for $4,000; the Govern.
ppsot itself had introduced an amendment

The cash receipts at the gates of the
Centennial Exhibition, will be not far
from 81, 100000. For every dollar that
has been spent in half dollar admis-
sions to the Exhibition, not less than
three dollars have been spent for
board and lodging in Philadelphia,
making $9,OOO.OO0; six dollars for
travelling expenses, making it $4,000, ;
600; and say five dollars for some ar
ticle of wear to use that would not
have been purchased save for the trip,
making Sl5,09O,OO0; we have from
these few items alone the "tolerbul .
net sum of S45,OOO,OOO spent by the
American people upon this part of
their hundredth birthday fete, about a
quarter of which will be left in and
about the city that loves US like a
brother. What wonder if the country
feels "awful poo" again pretty soon.-

BETWEEN 1900 and 10000 alligator
skins are tanned yearly, which are con.
sumed by boot and shoe manufacturers
in every portion of the United States,
as we'll as exported to London and
Hamburg. Tne alligators formerly
came almost entirely from Louisiana,
and New Orleans was the great center
, of business. The Florida swamps and
morasses are now the harvest fields,
and Jacksonville, in that State, the
great depot. The alligators often at
tain length of eighteen to twenty
feet, and frequently live to very old
age. The hides are stripped off, and
the belly and sides, the only portions
fit for use, are packed in barrels, in
strong brine, and shipped to the
Northern tanner, who keeps them un-
der treatment for from six to eight
mouths, when they are ready to be cut
up. So far the leather has been main
ly used in the manufacture of boots
and shoes, but handsome slippers are
also made of it.

Sheridan's ride wasn't ga patchin''
TO the ride of AL. Baxton, day before

gentleman of of color meditation,
Go. Convey some furniture from the
.stose o( Mr.. Chad wick to his new res
.iden,e. The furniture was on the
fourth floor, and was to be lowered by
an elevator. When the elevator was
loaded, it contained, among other ar
.ticles. large dressing case mirror,
lnarble-top wash-stand and bureau,
chairs, spring mattrass and etceteras.
When all was prepared for the descent
Baxton stepped upon the freight car
and pulled the rope TO lower The goods.
From some unaccOuntabIe GAUGE the
rope broke and the elevator began TO
descend with lightning like rapidity'
Mr.. DE Witt and others standing near
murmured ''good- bye" BaxtOn, as they
looked down upon the rapidly de-
scending vehicle. Poor Baxton, his
short kinky wool seemed to untwist
and stand erect upon his shiny pate,
while his dark skin assumed lighter
shade. His eye-balls stuck out almost
far enough to catch upon the floors as
he went Gying down, apparently into
the "jaws of DEATH" But Baxton re-
covered himself before he reached the
ground, and when passing the second
floor, made desperate leap for life.
AS he struck the floor, he rebounded |
with such velocity as to project him |
clear through a large sized mirror,

thousand pieces, and Baxton, oh, where |
was he, asked the little boy whose
father had engaged him a peculiar
kind of a chair. There, sure enough,
was Baxton's head, clear through the
seat of the little chair, with no other
damage than two bloody ears. The
chair made neat-fitting collar and
had to be split in the bottom before
Baxton's head could be released,
The furniture that went down on the
was but sligtly injured, the
