The gross receipts from internal revenue for
the 1iscal yoSr ending June 80 1850, ostimNt-
ing tho receipts for the two remaining
days, win be in round uumbets $l23,-
100000, an increase of Sl0,0OO,0OO ovor

crease of 100000 over the estimates Of the
department at the beginning OF tho year. This
increase of revonDe Ia derived from whisky,
cigars and cigarettes. The proportion OF 70.
CGipts from each source or tho relative amount
of increase cannot be determined for some
weeks, until the detailed reports from all the
internal revenue collectors throughout tho
country are received and compiled ut the de-
partment here. The revenue derived from
the tax on manufactured tobacco has fallen of
somewhat, owing to tho heavy reduction in
tho rate Of taxation, which went into OBJECT
just previous 10 the beginning Of the present
fiscal year. This loss, however has been more
than made up by increased receipts from
cigars aud cigarettes, so that the aggregate
revenue from tobacco in It's various forms has
suffered 10 dininution.

Next -Four Years.

Next -Four Years.
There Is now n good prospect that tho
Washington monument will some day be fin
ished. In case the S677 GOO estimated by the
commission as Necessary to complete the work
is promptly appropriated By congress, Colonel
Cuhey promises that the monument shall be
completed within four years. About $02, 600
OF the 100000 appropriated in 1876 has been
consumed on the foundation. The stroke OF
engineering performed by Colonel Casey in
strengthening the foundation Of tho mOnu-
ment and bringing the structure back TO its
proper position is regarded by engineer officers
as extraordinary, and at the time he under
took the work it was claimed that instead of
improving the foundations strength no
would DO it creator Injury. He has placed
beneath the shaft foL udation sufficient
to bear double the alnOuns Of weight it will
be required TO sustain In this work no less
than $4,000 barrels of cement have been used, I,
and 10 is considered much stronger than
masonry. Meanwhile preparations have been
going on for continuing the work on tho
monument. An immense elevator capable Of
bearing ten tons has been erected within tho
shaft at o cost of $4,000, which is run by a
lfty-horsc power engine, and will bc used IN
carrying tho stones to the tor. An iron
stairway has also been erected at cost Of
$4,000 Both tho elevator and the stairway
will be permanent aud will be carried mp us
the work progresses. a railroad has been con-
structod from the workshop to the foot of tho
monument, where a derrick bosis the stone
and puts II upon tho elevator, aud little rail
road at the top conveys it to its place. Every.
thing is now substantially ready for tile work
of laying new courses OF stone. Colonel
Casey, theepgipeer in charge has given in.
struGtions to romOvo the three top courses Of
marble because it hGs become chppCd by long
exposure TO tho weather, and he has adver-
tised for 10000 cubic feet OF grauite and mar
Bile. He has on hand about II 000 cubic feet
of marble and granite and about 100 stones,
contributed by lodges and private parties
throughout tho union. lie expects that tho
first stone in tho now work will be laid on
the 18th of July. II was intended to arrange
the work on tho monument so that the re-
sumng of tho laying Of the blocks would
begin July 4, when grand celebration was
required in removing the three defective
courses this project had to be abandoned.
1t is now proposed to carry out tho original
Plan. which contempla,cs simple obcliSlS $50
feet in height, crowned with pyamdion or
roof 80 feet in height. Tho basO OF tho mOnu-
ment is 50 feet square, and its dimensions will
bic reduced as it ascunds until ut the top IL
will be 81 feet 9 inches square These pro-
portions arc in exact accordance with tho
classic proportions Of this style of architecture
as determined, altor careful research, by
George +. Marsh, American minister at Rome
and the monument when completed promises
to be more oreditablo work than the advo-
