RICHMOND, VA, March s. - The
auditor OF public accounts to-day re-

financial condition Of the common.
wealth was truly deplorable. No
money was being received for taxes, all
payments being made in coupons
which we're at thirty per cent. di,-
count. The auditor states there Is but
SOB in the treasury that none could
be borrowed nor collected, and that he
can run the state government not an
hour longer. He had no means OF
paying the per diem of mem beers.
There was $4,000 now due to banks,

The Money spent tor Tobacco In Paris.

While complaints Of hard times are
heard on all sides, II Is a curious fact
somehow or other there Ia always
money enough to spend for things
which are by no means among the
necessaries of life. The French reggie,
for example, has just published Its
report for the last six months; 1t
shows that the city OF Paris alone
spends for tobacco $1,000, 900 francs
per annum $50, i00,000). In the last
six months of 1877 France paid the
regie some 100000 francs for cigars,
4, 100000 francs for snutfs, 120OO,OOO
francs for smoking tobacco, 1000, 900
francs for cigarettes, and 500, 900 francs
for chewing tobacco. Ofthe quality of
the snuff which II smoked Ia France,
an idea can be formed from the fact
that 100000 francs were paid for
10, All 300 cigars, which would make
the price less than ten confines lone
cent piece.
