The Public Finances.

The identity of the financial situation
throughout the world appears in the de-
ficits in the balance sheets of all the
leading nations. The fiscal year has
just closed in Great Britain with an un-
expected shortage in the receipts, and
the same kind of gap has arisen in the
first nine months of the current fiscal
year between the receipts and expendi-
lures of the United States Government.
The aggregate receipts of the three
quarters past have been $l5, ia, 932 less
then for the corresponding period of the
preceding fiscal year. At the same time
the expenditures have decreased from
$121, 900, 600 in the first nine months of
the fiscal year 1876 to $114, 500, 900 for
the same period of the present fiscal
year-a saving of $6,500.0OO. These
figures do not include the disbursements
on account of interest on the public
debt. The reduction made is in the or
dinary expenditures for the administra-
tion of the Government.
The following recapitulation will show
the gross receipts for the nine months
ended March 81 last, as compared with
the same nine months of the preceding
fiscal year:

The FastidiOus Tramp.

Yesterday a gentleman, residing in a
neat, modest cottage in the suburbs,
caught tramp prowling about his back
yard, evidently trying to steal some
thing.
"Why don't you come to the front door
if you want anything?" Indignantly
roared the proprietor.
"That's what 1 was looking for" was
the impudent reply.
Didn't you see it on the other side of
the houseg" retorted the gentleman.
"How was to know that was the front
door? No silver door-plate, no bell, no
telephone, no statuary, no servant to take
your hat and cane. Tell your boss there
is gentleman out here who is waiting
for his breakfast.
When the gentleman got back with his
shotgun, the tramp was not there any
more.-Sdn antonio (Ter.) Herald.

Revenue Service Consultations.

In consolidating internal revenue dis
tricts so as to reduce the number to 126,
as required by law, the consultations
will be made in the South, Southwest
and West. A careful investigation has
shown that consolidation cannot be made
in the Eastern States without injury to
the public service. The law requiring
the reduction does not take effect until
the beginning of the next fiscal year.
But the order for it will be promulgated
in time to enable the Commissioner of
Internal Revenue to prepare for the
change in the districts affected.

Closing the blinds, his mother takes a

TelephOnic Mysteries.

In New Jersey house the other morn
ing there was an echo like that of hand
gently nickel-plating a boy with pain, and
anolher echo which spoke of mouth
stretched from ear to ear and two legs
padding the air. When the fond mother
was asked why this was thus, she simply
replied that she was teaching her darling
the mysteries Of the telephone.

nothing short OF plenty of water could be

ground is extensive and under Mr.. Burns
energetic management the Company will

Happy Influence ofa Great Specific

For the preservation or recovery of
health and strength, the diet should be
wholesome and nutritious. When it
happens that the alimentary processes
are disturbed by improper or half masti-
Gated food, the best remedy for the evil
results of abusing the digestive organs is
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, most agree
able, prompt and gentle remedy for dys-
pepsia, and for the bilious and evacua-
tive Irregularities which result from it.
The liver and bowels, in common with
the stomach, experience its benefcient
influences. The refuse of the system is
carried off through its natural outlet, a
healthy flow and secretion of the bile is
promoted, and powerful impetus is Civ
en- TO assimilation in consequence of its
use. 1t healthfully stimulates the blad-
der and kidneys when they are inactive,
and by its tonic and regulating action
fortltes the system against malaria.

a fit person to be at large, he being more
dangerous to himself than any other per-

to Stockton. Some months ago he was

comes from that cause. He was man
of fine intellect and it is to be hoped his

HYAAPoME.-Wm II. Waldorf writes
us from His place that everything is dull,
although the late rain and snow storm
had brightcned the prospect somewhat.
Thos. Cox recently discovered a large
panther Feeding on one of his lavorite
calves, and went to his house for gun
with which to stop further proceedings.
N bis hurry to load the gun Tom got the
bullet halfway down before he thought
of powder. As there was no time to lose,
he returned to the field, treed the panth-
or and then sit down and picked enough
powder in Mt the tube to blow the bullet
out at the muzzle. Then loading The gun
in proper order, he took deliberate aim
and brought his victim to the ground the
first shot, although he shot him two or
three times afterwards for revenge. AT
ter skinning, the panther weighed two
hundred pounds, and under the skin was
found several pieces of flint arrow heads,
which were supposed to have been shot
into him by the Indians some twenty
years ago. II was judged that the ami
mai was at least twenty-five years old.
Billy sent us one of the pieces Of flint
taken from the panther; it is a nearly
whole arrow-point and the material from
which II il made shows it to be one Of
those used hy the Yuka tribe of the Ket-
tenchow section.

WHEN telephone is perfected and null
tiplies in the land, the stump speaker may
send his voice abroad from Maine to CAL
ifsrnia, from the shores of the great lakes
unto the banks of the restless Rio Grande.
Then may the timid carpet-bagser defy the
bull-dozer in the jungle and political doc
trine be taught wherever there are ears to
hear. But shortly thereafter the stump
speaker and the telephone will have to be
suppressed or the country will go ravipg
mad in times of hot political contests.
