THIS is the way the money goes.
Appalling rs are the figures they are
indisputabe. The returns Of the inter
nal revenue department show that tho
consumption Of fcrmcnted liquors IN
the United States, during the lust fiscal
year, was l3l All barrels, or 13,311,74l
gallons, greater than during the year
preceding. The total consumption of
iermented liquors, during the year end
ING on tho 30th Of June last, was 3l7,-
iO5,60l gallons. Placing the populn-
ton of the United States nj i5,O0O,O0O
souls, these iigurcsgivo Il fraction over
seven gallons Us tho quantity consumed
10y every man, woman and child, IN the
country. As ut least onc-half of our
entire population, including children
do not drink any fcrmcntcd liquors, 1t
must he concluded that the quantity
consumed by each actual drlnkcr was
equal 10 over fourteen gallons. The
quantity Of distilled spirits which enter
"a into consumption during the year
was II 100000 gallons, but much of
this was used in the arts and exported
so that no safe estimate can be made
Of the quantity which found lis way
down the Threats ofhibulous Americans.
The tables from which these figures are
derived show also, pretty clearly, the
extent and cost ofthc smoking habits Of
om people. The total amount ofeigars
upon which tax was paid for the year
was 1900 093, 743, which number is cX-
elusive Of lG5, lS959i cigarettes. This
would give, excluding the cigarettes,
over forty-two cigars 70 every inhahi-
tant ofthe country, and assuming that
one-fonrth u our entire population are
smokers, il would give each smoker
l6S cigars for the year. The manufac-
tured tobacco exclusive of that used
for the manufacture of eigars-con'
sumed during the year, WIS aa,S12,9St
pounds. The tax derived from spirits an,
fermented liquors was Sd0,3ar 49,, and
nom tobacco, SioOSl,52a.

Remarkable Intelligence Of Colt.
l,InY TInlns.

Martin lIaynor, If Brunswick, is the
proud posscssor Of 4 fine pair Of colts.
one day last week they were pasturing
on his farm, through which 4 ditch had
recently been dug, quite n distance from
the house. One OF the animals fell into
the ditch, in some way striking upon
its back, with its feet helplcssly paving
in the air and utterly unable TO regain
its equilibrium. The other colt, discov-
cring the prcdicamento If its mate, COM
mcnccd running from the house 70 tile
ditch, making more than half dozen
trips before MIR Hayner's attention was
specially attracted. He finally entered
the incloSure where his colt was whin-
nering, when il seized hold Of his coat
and pulled in the direction Of its mate.
Mr.. iIavner found his other colt in the
position stated, and with difficulty
rescued ii. such equine intelligence il
certainly remarkable and worthy ofihc
recognition we have accorded it

RAILWAYS and Iron.

The fluctuations in price which steel
and iron have experienced during the
last ten wears have been most remarka-
BILE. Thus when the manufacture Of
BessGmeI steel rails was commenced in
Pennsylvania in 1867 or 1868 the price
Of steel rails Of American manufacture
was about S16S per ton currency, while
that Of English made steel rails WAS
$50 per ton gold. 1t was not very long
before the market price Of British rails
declined to $50 per ton, and now after
ten years experience the American ar
ticle is produced and sold for $40 per
ton, or less than half the price of iron
rails when the American manufacture
of Bessemer steel was commenced In
other words, II Steel-made railway does
not now cost half 50 much as an iron
made railway cost ten years since;
while, moreover stcel-made railways
have ten times the wear in them.
The great cheapness of iron at the
present remarkable epoch III the histo-
ry Of the iron manufacture is leading
to the extended adoption of com
plete system Of iron permanent
way. Upon the Belgian state railways,
for instance, q series of elaborate trials
has taken place with 4 view to the dis
continuance Of wooden slecpers, and the
substitution ofiron i'll every department
of permanent way maintenance. There
can, We fancy, be little doubt that if
wooden sieepers could be dispensed
with, great economy i'll permanent way
maintenance would be the result. AT
IL -,
the bad. 4 too ardent sun one day and
heavy rain on the next try the endur-
ance Of 4 wooden sleeper very severely,
and any one who takes Il trip over 100
miles of one of our great railways may
soon satisfy himself as to this, as
he will not fail to see numbers of rotten
sleepers lying about in various localities
Moreover, the item of maintenance Of
way IN railway companies accounts Is
always a more or less formidable one.
Thus If we take the accounts of the
London, Chatham < Dover railway. for
example, we find that, while the gross
working-eXpcnses Of that system in the
second half Of 1877 were t30O, $50, out
Of that sum e4751S went III mainte-
nance ofwav and works. On the Lon
don X Southwestern railway, While the
working expenses in the second
half Of 1877 were fG92,072, out
of that sum f136,017 were
absorbed III the maintenance Of
way and works. On the Manchester,
Sheffield \ Lincolnshire railway, again,
out Of S447 ISIS expended i'll working
expenses in the past six months &c.,
334 were absorbed in the maintainence
of way and works We might, OF
course, extend the analysis much fur
ther, but enough has already been said
to show, what is indeed notorious, that
permanent way maintenance is \ for
midahle item in railway expenditure,
and that anything which can reduce II
must be great boon to ordinary stock
holders in railways The substitution
of steel for IRON is already great point
gained. Is it too much to say That the
adoption OF an IRON permanent way will
result IN further important economies?

Another Richmond

Judge w. +. Gregory comes before
the people this week asking a re-elec-
ton to the Office of County Judge.
When we examine the figures we are
bound to believe that he has managed
the affairs of the county well. When
he came into office there was large
Courthouse debt hanging over the
county; county poll-tax was $3.50,
and the ad valorem tax for county
purposes was twenty-five cents ON the
500. The poll-tax has been reduced
gradually, until now it is only 81. 90,
and the ad valorem tax has been re-
duced to fifteen cents on the 500.
The Courthouse debt has all been
paid. The taxes of the county for
county purposes are more than $1,000
less than when Judge Gregory came
INTO office, and more than 1000 less
than last year. The county is much
less in debt than when the Judge
came into office, and a $4,000 Jail
has been built, besides. The bonds
for the Jail, unlike our Courthouse
bonds, were sold at par and without
costs or commission. These figures,
which are shown by the records, en-
title Judge Grcgory's claim to a fair
consideration. Il
