PREPARATIONS are under way for
taking census Of the Indians. This
has never been thoroughly done, but
The whole number in the United
States and territories in 1871. including
10000 In Alaska, was estimated by the
Indian bureau at $4,000. Whether
they have since increased or diminish
I'd in number is not entirely certain.
1t is probable that the wild Indians
have decreased considerably, but the
more civilized tribes have increased.
The Cherokees, for instance, increased
from II 900 in 1922 to 1862 in 1871.
\ complete census of them all-or as
complete a census rs can be made, for
there will be many difficulties in the

internal Revenue.

The annual report OF Gen. Raum, com
missioner Of internal revenue, for the
fiscal year was completed to-day. After
calling attention to the vast improve
ment in the condition Of the service
the report shows the receipts of inter
nal revenue for the fiscal year of 1879
were $43, 449 ,G21, an increase of S2,19o,-
I5S upon the previous year. The re-
ceipts for the fiscal year of 1880, III face
of reduction of tax on tobacco, We're
1913, 9S1 ,916, an increase of Sl0,332,-
294 The receipts for the first
four months Of the present fiscal year
amounted to $40, 7S9,3 1S, showing an
increase over the corresponding period
of last year of $3,65S,2 13. In this con-
nection the commissioner says: Il
know of no reason why this increase
should not be maintained during the
fiscal year, so that the total collections
for the year from internal revenue taxes
at the present ratio would S125000,000.
Continuing, he says that this large in
crease of revenue is unquestiOnably
due to the prosperous times, and there
would seem to be no reasonable proba-
bility of material diminution thereof
for several years to come, but on the CON
trary, a probability Of gradual increase
certainly upon the ratio equal to the
increase of the population. While
receipts from taxes are thus increasing
in amount, demands upon the treasury
are being lessened by the reduction Of
the public debt. and the annual inter-
est charge. 1t is probable, therefore,
that congress will be disposed to relieve
the people from some of the internal
revenue taxes, and if such reduction Is
to be made, l respectfully suggest the
following list of taxes, collected during
the fiscal year 1850, for consideration
of the law making power: Bank checks,

the fiscal year of 1879 is distributed
among different varieties known to
the trade. The causes which in addition
to improvement in times have led to
this great increase in the production
of distilled spirits Gen. Ranm says are
the amendments of internal revenue
laws which have secured first, the in
crease in the bonded period from one
year to three years; second, the allow
ance for loss by leakage while in the

Curing Fruit by Cold.

An experiment was made at foundry
in Placerville lately IN fruit-curing by
blasts of cold air. In this experiment
about apeck Of sliced apples were placed
in sieve and subjected TO cold mir
blast for three and half hours in the
cupola furnace of the foundry, and fhe
fruit is reported to have been completely
and beautifully cured by the treatment,
remaining soft and without the slightest
discoloration. We were about to say
dried, but cured is better word, for
there was none of that hard, harsh. stiff
dryness about it which frequently re-
suits by drying by sun heat or fire heat.
The experiment was most gratifying
success, and, in our judgment, Is fraught
with results of great Importance TO
growers and manipulators of fruit. The
blast of cold air completely frees the
fruit from its excess of moisture, with no
possibility of burning or shriveling IL.
Compared with our sun drying. it effects
a great saving Of expense, attention and
risk. Anybody who can command or
devise q strong blast of cold air can dry
fruit in superior-we might say per-
fect-manner, without being dependent
on the weather and waiting on the slow
process of sun drying, and without the
most expensive resort To fuel and the
risk of overheating.-Mountdia (Cai.J

A TERRIBLE CALAMITY.

| The Village Of DIarshffeld, Mo-, Dem olished
by a TornadO-Great Loss of Life.
MARsHFIELD, the county-seat of Web
ster County, Mo-, thriving town Of about
| 1000 inhabitants, on the st. Louis and San
Francisco Railroad, two hundred and fifteen
| miles southwest of st. Louis, was almost
entirely demolished by the terrible hurricane
that swept through that section of the coun-
try on the night of the 18th. The storm ap-
pears to have originated in Greene County,
south of Springfield, where it did great
amount of damage to property and caused
the deaths OF several people. Passing in a
| northwesterly direction into Webster Coun-
| ty, it struck the village of Marshfield with
most terrible force, crushing the houses as
though they were egg shells, cutting swath
half mile in width, and tearing into tatters
every thing in its path. OF the entire
village it was reported that not more than
dozen houses remains uninjured. The
loss Of life was most appalling, whole fami-
lies in some cases being buried beneath the
falling walls of their own houses. To add to
the horrors Of the scene, fire broke out in
the ruins and consumed much of
the debris left by the tornado
Sixty-one dead bodies had been recovered
up to the evening of the day following the
disaster, while the wounded numbered not
far from two hundred. As soon
as news Of the calamity was re-
ceived, physicians, nurses and supplies
OF all kinds were forwarded
from Springfield and Lebanon by special
trains, and every thing done that was possible
to mitigate the horrors of the scene. For
tunately one of the few buildings spared
was the public school building, and this was
lmprovised into central hospital, where
the wounded were placed upon beds and
made as comfortable as possible. The dead
as fast as they were unearthed from the
ruins, were placed in the Courthouse,
where they were washed. dressed for
the grave and laid in the front
yard on hastily improvised biers to
be called for by relatives or by friends.
......From other sections of the State in.
formation has been received of the ravages
Of the tornado. In the vicinity of Jefferson
City a number Of houses were swept
away and many Of the inmates bad
ly injured. In Galloway County, |
east of New Bloomfield, several houses
were blown down and one lady is reported |
killed. Barnettsville, in Morgan County, !
was reported almost entirely destroyed, |
and some ten or twelve deaths |
had occurred there and along the valley to- |
wards North Moreau. Licking, in Texas |
County, also suffered severely, one-half the |
town, as reported, being swept away and |
many persons injured.
