FALSE PROFESSIONS OF ECONOMY WHICH HAVE

IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.t
WASHINGTON, Aug. IA digest of the appropria-
tions made by Congress last Winter and during the
extra session for the current fiscal year has been
completed in The Warrant Division Of the Treasury
Department to-day. The total amount appropr-
ated. including that for deficiencies, which were
created in the previous year. is S162 4O4, 647 rs.
The total of the estimates exclusive Of the perma-
nent annual appropriations, was $129, 197.Sl2, be
ing 1888 2O6 $50 less than the aggregate Of appropr-
atoms. This difference is found III the addition OF
S4,562. 404 made by Congress to the estimates for
work upon rivers and harboTs, and IN the PENSION
Arrears and defielencv bills. more exact compar-
isOn with the estimates, or a comparison with ap-
populations for previous years, cannot at this time
be made owing TO the unique and confused man
ner I'm which several of the Appropriation bills were
framed by the caucus committee. This has also
rendered the work of preparing the digest very dill
Gcult and peTpleXing.

PROCEEDING IN MISSISSIPPI WHICH DOES NOT

TON ABOUT THE STORIES OF HOSTILITY TO THE
EXODUS
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRrBUyEI
WASHINGTON. Aug. If the planters of Missis-
spDi and Louisiana are anxious to get rid Of
their coored laborers those who profess to
sent them say they are, late proceeding on their
part is difficult to explain.
Last Spring, while the exodus Of cOlOred people
was at it's height. officers of steamboats, plying on
the Mississippi River, found at many landings
crowds of colored people who applied for passage
North for which they were able and anxious to pay.
These people were encamped on the banks OF the
river. 1t was an act of humanity as well of
proper attention to business to allow them to take
passage to the North. In dong this the officers of
some of the boats were guilty of technical viola
ton Of law by taking more deck passengers than
their registers allowed them to carry.
Recently four or five of these boats have been
seized at places on the Lower Mississippi and libel
led for tins violation of the law. 1t is understood
that they are now tied mp awaiting the result of
legal proceedings This performance is said TO be
unheard of in the annals of Mississippi commerce
Indeed, within the last three weeks steamers nave
been loaded to the guards with passengers neelng
from yellow fever, and nobody has thought of
Directing.
Captain J. N Bofngcr. of st. Louis, who is largely
interested in the steamboat trade on the Mississippi
arrived here day two ago, and has been in con-
sutatIon with officers of the Treasury in regard to
the soppage of trade by the seizures already made
He says that the whole proceeding has been dictated
by the hostility of the Southern whites 70 the unIe-
stricted movements Of the colOrcd people. Inc

Money in Garbage.

Charles H. Farnham has an article in
 Scr1bner descriptive of the docks of New York and their picturesque and varied paragraph: In the midst of all this commercial wealth, we meet another sort of life at the garbage dump. The pier is built quite high, that the carts may rise above the heap of refuse on the deck of the lighter even at high tide. The space just under the floor of the pier, between the rows of piles, is inclosed with old blanks, and divided into several rooms, one for storing bones, one for tin cans and old metal, one for old boots and shoes and one for rags. At one dump a room is fitted up for living. The blanks are lined with refuse pieces of oilcloth, then layer of carpet is spread all around !; more oilcloth is tackled on, and finally the walls are papered and the floors car peted with more refuse pieces. The room is warm and inhabitable even there under the dock, and but a foot above spring tide. But the whole scene is extremely repulsive, although the business is quite profitable The city hires a trimmer to trim or pile the loads on the lighter. He lets out this work to two or three Italians for one-half of the pickings, and now and then visits his dump, dressed in broad cloth, kids and diamonds. The Italians sell the bones, metal, rags and boots to peddlers, and thus make from twelve to twenty dollars per week. Thewatchman on the pier told me that they live chiefly on the garbage, so that save enough money in few years to go home as a count and spree it awhile, and then re turn form sunny Italy to claw over the garbage of New York. Now and then they allow their wives and sweethearts to come from Baxter street and help pick
 Then the garbage pile is covered with [ picturesque company of grimy and ragged | figures eagerly snatching refuse in cloud of offal dust. It is a strange phase O
 life. They have their social distinctions too, for the cartmen who collect the re
 fuse consider themselves immeasurabl,
 superior to the pickels. And certainl, they have, at least, the advantage of a1 honest and hard-working horse. i"

 Where the strongest are not strong Half so feeble in its birth,
 Or so sure of death, as Song2 Trailer blossom never grew, Pelted by the summer rain; Lighter insect never flew Scarcely come ere gone again Children, who chase butterflies, May pursue it, to and fro; Little maids who sigh, l" Heigh-ho May deplore ii when it dies; Loftier deeds to men belong

It takes man long while to decide on taking bath when he has an archi- pelago of porous plasters on his back.

Handful of men as we were, we were English
 in heart and in limb, Strong with the strength of the race to con-

 hung but on him; Still-could we watch at all points we were
 every day fewer and fewer. There was 2 whisper among us, but only a
 whisper that past 's Children and wives--it the tigers leap into the fold unawares-- Every man die at his post-and the foe may
 outlive at last Better to fall by the hands that they love, than
 to fall into theirs,W Roar upon roar in moment two mines by the

 poor palisades. Rifleman, true is your heart, but be sure that
 your hand be as true! Sharp is the fire of assault, better aim'd are
