invite your careful attention to the various
items Of what the Auditor deems improper ex-
penses to the State, and of his suggestions for
dispensing Herewith. Respecting the publi-
cation of the session laws in the newspapers
there is little doubt that the serious burden it
now entails upon the State is out of proportion
to the benefit it confers. The letting of the
public printing by contract to the lowest bid
der having become the established policy of
the State with results of conceded excellence
there seems no gOod reason why similar
policy should not govern this mode Of publca-
ton. Certainly the policy of allowing as much
compensation to local newspapers with few
subscribers, as to journals of large and gener-
al circulation, can be defended on no principle
OF either business or justice. The tOtal cost
of the printing of 10000 copies Of the ses-
sion laws averages about S. 500 annually, be-
newspaper publication of the general laws
alone cost the State last year the sum of $16,-
OSLO. The prompt dissemination Of the laws
among the people affected by their provisions
is recognized as a just and salutary measure,
and suggest that the law may receive such
amendment as will render it at once more ef
ficient, just and economical in its practical %

The total valuation of thu taxable property Of
the State as determined by the Board Of Eonal-
ization for 1877, was e221 100000, an increase of
100000 over that of the previous year The
rate of State tax is two mills, and the rate for
gil purposes, local and general, throughout the
State, shows an average of about seventeen

RAILROADS.
The report of the Commissioner of rail roads
shows the encouraging fact of a revival in rail
road extension, PIG ~ miles of road having
been constructed in 1877, chiefly in the last
the entire four years prccedlng, and the great
est number of miles completed in any one yea1
in the history of the State, except in the flush
years 1S70-1-2 The business of the roads fol-

This falling off of over half a million dollars
was owing to the light crop of 1876, com
pared with the heavy crop of 1875. The large
ly increased business Of the roads since oul
late magnificent harvest, does not come with
In the year of the report: The increase, how
ever, has been so gratifying to some of the
companies, as to lead them to reduce tariff
rates, to take effect with the new year. This
reduction on some of the roads it is hoped
will be followed by all, if anticipations of bus
mess for the coming year are fully realized.
The sales OF railroad lands has been greatly
stimulated by the departure of the erasshop:

STATISTICS.

shows the total area devoted to wheat culture
in 1876 to have been 1,S69,172 acres, and the

OF the laws respecting them, apply with equal
1orce to the monied corporations created under
our State laws. The fact that we have been
thus far exempt from the disasters which have
nciaiien similar institutions In other States
should not lull US into neglect of proper pre-
caution against similar calamities at home.
=: SAVINGS BANKS
Savings institutions, to which are intrusted
the small earnings Of the industrious poor,
especially demand the most rigid restraints
against their mismanagement. These under
perfectly safe system, encourage those hab
its OF economy which are the foundation of in
dividual and public prosperity, and in view
OF the faith reposcd in them by depositors,
hwo of necessity are unable to judge of their
solvency, the Importance of throwing about
them every responsible guaranty of safety
So cannot wei be exaggerated. The grievous
stltutions have elsewhere inflicted upon q
class of dependent people least able Ito bear
them, should teach us to lose Rhol time in
moulding our own institutions, while in
thelr plastic infancy, against both the uncon-
scIous weaknesses: and the studied devices
which lead to their ruin: The state which
creates these corporations, regulates them by
is laws, and controls them by its officers, is
mdced already i'll great measure responsible
for their safety, since it is largely the States
supposed backing; which lures public conf
1cnce toward them. In view of this fact and of
oAAS A"S0Hs consequences winch receive color
from provident beginnings of this character
1t is peculiarly obligatory upon the State to
provide for the safety and to assume more
thorough guidance of such institutions. As
the result Of All undertaking law the misery
cnt"i!cd by the abuse of the sacred trusts re.
posed in them is closely in proportion to the
benefits flowing from their wise mana cement.
There is reason to believe that the existing law
governing these corporations is seriously de-
fcctlve i'll its lack of restrictive features, and
recommend that it be carefully revised for
greater safety; while certainly in no other
field could the services of all examining Of
ticer such have recommended be employed
to better advantage than in the faithful super
vision OF these monicd institutions. The law
should require such officer to visit our state
banks no less than twice in each year,
and our savings institutions not less tina n
three times annually.

COFFEE-TEA.

Collected is something not absolutely
unheard of, yet certainly quite new to
English nomenclature. Herr Tschudi, in
his work setting forth his travels in South
America and the East, speaks of a bever-
age which is prepared by the inhabitants
OF the Indian Archipelago, particularly
the Island of Sumatra, and is regarded by
them as one of the necessaries of life.
Fresh cut twigs of the coffee-tree are ex-
posed to a slow, clear fire, until the leaves
have turned to dark brown color The
latter are then picked from the stalks,
and these again are roasted until the bark
which is used as well as the leaves, peels
easily from them. Hot water is poured
upon sufficient quantity of bark and
leaves thus prepared, and, with the admix-
ture of a little sugar, the beverage is ready.
This cotfee-tea was brought forward for
the first time publicly in Europe, at the
convocatiOn Ofnaturalists held at Bremen
in 1874, and at the London exhibition.
where some specimens were tried, it was
shown to contain a considerable quantity
ot.teaine. Yet, although numerous eX-
periments have proven the excellence of
this beverage, only small quantities of the
roasted coffee leaves are imported from
Brazil for private use. These leaves
have very aromatic smell, and with
the right proportions of mixture, the fla
vor OF the extract is very agreeable as
well as peculiar, singularly resembling
the best Chinese tea and the rarest Mo
cha coffee, at different styles of prepare
ton. Its effect upon the system is like
that produced by tea, only less power
full. Prices will form the turning point
of its general introduction in the West
ern world. In Sumatra a pound of
roasted coffee leaves costs about 10 cents.
but in Brazil it could be procured at
much less rates, since the method of pre-
pairing is cheap and easy. Even should
prices, however, approach those of the
real coffee, DR.. Tschudi recommends the
coffee-tea for general consumption, not
merely because of its cheapness, but for
its pleasant properties. Only one half
the quantity is required for a decoction
that we usually take of the coffee bean.
and there are kinds that could be sold
considerably cheaper than the finer sort
above mentioned. When the need of
aromatic beverages and condiments is
SO great that $500 million pounds of tea,
and 759 million pounds of coffee, are an
nually consumed, not to speak of other
similar substances, there is something in
this fresh resource worth the attention of
Oriental and South American traders.
