A World OF Good.

One ofthe most popular medicines now
before the American public is Hop Bit
tiers. You see it everywhere. People
take it with good effect. 1t builds them
up. 1t is not rs pleasant to the taste as
some other bitters as it is not a whiskey
drink. 1t is more like the old-fashioned
boneset tea that has done a world OF good,
If you don't feel just wight try Hop Bit
ters.-Nunda MeWs.

TIE WASHINGTON MONUMENT.
The joint commission created by the act Of
Congress- Of August 2, 1876, for the purpose OF
supervising and directing the completion OF
tho Washington national monument, OF which
commission the President is a member, has
given careful attention to this subject, and
already the strengthening Of the foundation
has so far progressed US to insure the entire
success OF this part oil the work. A massive
layer OF masonry has been introduced below
the original foundation, widening the base,
increasing the stability OF the structure, and
rendering it possible TO carry the shalt to
complexion. 1t is earnestly recommended
that such further appropriations be made for
the continued prosecution OF the work as may
DO necessary Tor the compilation OF this ma
tional monument at an early day.

Importance OF the subject, I have taken occa.
sion to commend to Congress the adoption OF
q generous policy toward the District OF Co.

suggestions and recommendations, to all OF
which l earnestly invite your careful atten.

grafton OF the views which they express 1.
to the urgent need of legislation tor the recla'
nation OF the marshes Of the Potomac and its
eastern branch, within the limits OF the city,
and Tor the repair OF the streets Of the capital,
heretofore laid with wooden blocks, and now
by decay rendered almost impossible and
source Of imminent danger to the health Of
its citizens. The means ut the disposal OF the
commissioner are wholly inadequate Tor the
accomplishment Of these important works
and should be supplemented BY timely appro'
pr1ations from the Federal treasury. The
nlling of the flats in front of the city will add
to the adjacent lands and parks, now owned
by the United States, a large und valuable do
main, sufficient, it is thought, to reimburse iti
entire cost, and will also, as an incidental re-
suit, secure the permanent improvement o
the river for the purposes OF navigation. Tho

TIE INTERNAL REVENUE.

After reciting the figures in the report
ofthe commissioner of internal revenue,
and abiding to tie fact that the chief
sources of revenue are from tobacco and
spirit, the secretary says: "The very
large proportion ofthe revenue derived
from these sources is of itself an argu-
ment for the stability of the rates of
taxation upon them. The simple agi-
tation of the question of the reduction
of the tobacco tax caused a temporary
suspension of operations in various
manufactures Of tobacco. and it is esti-
mated by the commissioner of internal
revenue to have caused a diminution in
the receipts from tax on that articl.
during the first half year of 1873 of
nearly two millions of dollars. Besides
reducing the income from the tax, the
uncertainty arising from an anticipa-
ton of change of rates by suspending
production, threw multitudes of work
ing people out of employment. The
change of rates in the tax or tabacco
and spirits,or the anticipation of such
a change, tends at once to diminish the
revenue, disorganize the industries re-
iating to those commodities, and to de-
ran pe trader

tions and Il safe depository for 4 portion
of its records in the completed east wing
ofthe building designed for the State, war

of the north wing Of the building, u part
of the structure intended for the use OF
the war department., is being carried
forward WITH all possible dispatch, and
the work should receive fom Congress
such liberal appropriations as will
secure its speedy completion.
The report of the secretary of the navy
shows continued Improvement in that
branch of the. service during the last
fisca, year. Extensive repairs have been
made upon vessels, and two new ships
have been completed and made ready
tor sea. The total expenditure Of the
year ended juno 80, 1879. including
specific appropriations not estimated
for by the department, were $685.
1909. The expenses chargeable to the
year, after deductirg the amount OF
these specific, appropriations, were 3d.
343,3l7.7 ~, but this is subject to
reduction of 1888, 1859 that
amount having been drawn upon
warrants. but not paid out during the
year. The amount Of appropriations
applicable to the last fiscal year was
$685. 46 II. There was, therefore, Il
balance OF SI,479,O54 81 remaining I'M
expended and to the credit of the de-
partmcnt on June 30, 1879. The esti-
mates for the fiscal year ending June
30. 1881 are Sl4 ,aGt. l47 95, which ex-
ceeds the appropriations for the present
fiscal year 1851, 1897. %. The reason for
this increase is explained in the secre-
tary's report. The appropriations avail
able for the present fiscal year are Sl4,-
502.250 81; which will, in the opinion OF
the secretary, answer all the ordinary
demands of the service. The amount
drawn from the treasury from July l
to Nov. l.. 1879, was IS, 770,4O4 IL, Of
