und successful minister of the gospel:
and he ably filled every position given

represented. lie was an itincTant Of
the true type in the capacity OF which
he laborcd for about twelve ard half
years, when sickness prevented him
from further active labor. Eighteen
months ago he retired from the active
work, but had the SUPPLEMENTARY Of
Troy Station, until last March, when
on the account Of failing health the
Conference left him without work. Ills

The Treasury Account.

The new form Of debt statement put forth
by the Secretary of the Treasury is an i'm
provement over the old in that it is clearer
and fuller. One can Enow ascertain each
month all the changes (which have taken
place in the government finances for the
eleven months preceding. The comparison
made between the debt on the first of Octo-
Der 1876, and the first of October 1877 is very
gratifying. The amount of currency in the
Treasury to-day is $14, ,2O6, ,417.2S, while the
amount held one year ago was only 81, 2,524,-
945.53. The amount of legal-tenders de-
posted in Lthe Treasury and held for the re-
demption OF certificates of deposit is more
than $S,500,000 greater than it was year
ago, and the amount .of coin has increased
from S64,591, 124 .43, to $119, ,152, ,043.4O. The
amount of coin actually owned by the gov
ernment. after deducting the coin certificates
and the amount which will have to be paid
out for called, bonds, is many times greater
than that held year ago. The authorized
legal-tenders have been reduced from $685.
494,740 to 1856, ,914, ,932, and the outstanding
fractional currency from about S29, ,S58, 900 to
about SIS, ,7S6,000. The actual reduction of
the public debt during the past year has been
S41,205, 900.
The most noticeable fand encouraging fea-
ture of the statement is the large increase in
the amount Of coin held by Ithe Treasury.
The excess over all liabilities is $34,7OO,OOO.
This sum has nearly ali been accumulated
under Secretary Sherman's administration.
On the first of March the coin excess was
but $2,500,000. 1t has increased in seven
months at the average rate of $4,500,0O0 a
month, nearly twelve millions accumulating
in September. This rate can beseasily MAIN
tained, and will in all probability be increased,
for our heavy expectations are bringing large
quantities of gold into the country, and the
growth of our importations is swelling the
customs duties. Even at the present rate of
accumulation there will be over a hundred
millions of gold in the treasury by January
1879. In all probability the amount will be
fifty millions larger. With this sum, and the
volume of greenbacks meanwhile reduced to
S3O0,OO0,00O, we can easily resume specie
payments.

IN recent speech at Barcome, England,
Mr.. Dodson, member OF Parliament, said
that the annual value of the agricultural
produce of the United Kingdom, in an aver
age year, amounts to e3OO,OOO,OOO sterling,
which is about double the amount of the
produce of the looms of England, three times
that of the forges, and four or five times that
of the mines. Looking at the total produce
of agriculture throughout the Kingdom, Eng
land, he said, was the greatest agricultural
power in the world. Foreigners" he said,
chad called us nation of shopkeepers; but,
after all, agriculture is, in fact, our largest in
dustry,'

ALL the way from Victoria comes nara
tive which would delight the heart of Victor
Hugo. 1t is of poor Indian woman who,
while bathing, "a luxury, by the way which
Indian women in the far Northwest are but
rarely given to,-was seized by devil-fish
and dragged to the bottom of the sea, where
the body of the woman was subsequently
rescued by her male relatives. They found
the remains in the horrid embrace of the
monster, and secured it only after severing
the tentatacles. Not being of scientific
turn of mind, the sorrowlng savages let slip
the opportunity of furnishing still bigger
sensation, and made no attempt to bag the
octopus himself.
The Portland daily press., 1877-10-04

THE muddled mass which makes up the
platform of the Wisconsin Democracy must
excite general Iidicule. In one clause it de-
mands State sovereignty and almost in the
very next calls for the overthrow of the bank
ing system and the substitution of paper
money issued and managed by the General
Government and the regulation of inter-
States railways by United States authority.
In another part it urges the strictest econo-
my and then turns to the advocacy of such
an equalization of the bounties of soldiers in
the late war as would be principally no
ticeable for its enrichment of claim agents,
but which would involve the country in an
expenditure of hundreds of millions of dollars.
Its financial planks are as bad as bad can be
and only stop short of actual reputation.
The voters of Wisconsin are to be credited
with better sense than to endorse any such
demagogic claptrap or to elect ticket stand
ing upon it.
The Portland daily press., 1877-10-04

PRESIDENT DIAz, of the Mexican Repub-
lie, has not the most perfect confidence in the
loyalty of his generals, knowing, as he does,
the many temptations to which they are sub
ject in country where revolution is the nor
NAL condition of things political. Gen. Tre-
vino, firing Of his commission, and perhaps
prompted by secret ambition, desires to re-
tire from the army, but the President is dis
inclined to spare him, for reasons best known
to the National Executive, chief among
which is the knowledge that, so long as the
Generals resignation is unaccepted, any act
OF treason on his part may, under the law,
render him liable to military trial and sudden
death by the bullet.
