How the Government Pays Bills.

A great part of the work in the De-
partment is necessarily in the line of
keeping accounts, and possesses little
interest to people who are not excep-
tionally fond of figuring. The general
principle which governs the whole sys-
tenn of auditing and settling accounts
against the Government is to provide
every safeguard against fraud, and this
is so successfully accomplished that a
dollar could not be got out of the Treas
ury illegitimately without the collusion
Of so many persons that it may be set
down as a practical impossibility. Sup
pose man has q bill against the Gov
ernment. The head of the Department
or Bureau to which the matter properly
belongs makes a requisitiOn for the
amount upon the Secretary of the Treas
ury, using prepared blank which asks
him to cause warrant for the amount
in question to be issued in favor of the
party, the same to be charged to the
particular appropriation by Congress
out Of which the sum ought to come.
But before this requisition reaches the
Secretary 1t must pass under the eye of
the proper Auditor and Comptroller
and receive their countersign, the Aud
itor at the same time charging the
amount to the account of the disbursing
officer in whose favor it is issued. If
all goes well so far, the Secretary issues
warrant to the Treasurer, directing
him to pay over the money, which he
does by issuing draft for the amount
in favor of the Governments creditor,
but not untilafter the warrant has been
oountersigned by the proper Comptrol-
Ter and registered by the Register. In
deed, the draft itself must 60 the Regis
ter for comparison and registry before it
is finally passed over. There seems to be
a good deal Of red tape in all this proc
ess, but it is a sort of red tape that
saves the country money in the long
run. --DG0id Oopperfeld, IN Good COM
pGNy.

He Couldn't Miss the Chance.

The other night, when certain De-
troit club had gathered in its hall, a
member announced the serious illness
of one of the officials. A second men,
Der at once moved to the platform and
said:
Gentlemen, no one can regret this
sad news more than l do. 1t seems to.
me that the occasion calls for a few re-
marks expressive of sympathy and con-
dolence. | do not wish to occupy your
valuable time, but feel it duty to-
say of the ailing brother"
Here member came up stairs and
announced that the person was dead.
He had just heard the news on the
street.
Very well, then,'' continued the
speaker, "remarks eulogistic of his
many virtues are certainly in order
after this announcement, and l can 60
ahead without fear of transgressing
upon the time Of the club. We all knew
the deceased. We were all familiar
with his many noble traits of charac-
ter. A brother has died and king
has fallen. 1t will be long ere We"
Here another dilatory member put in
an appearance and announced that the
person referred to was not dead or even
i'll, but was in perfect health. Without
the least change Of countenance the
speaker continued:
"That being the case, 1 deem it my
duty to indulge in a few remarks on the
we all must feel at knowing
that our dear brother still lives. Life
is but a span, and man cometh up like
a flower and is cut down. The familiar
faces beside us to-day may rest in the
grave tomorrow. Death comes so
silently and swiftly that"
Here the person himself entered the
hall, having been detained beyond his
usual time by some occurrence on the
street. The speaker didn't seem in the
east put out, but waved his hand around
jhe hall and said:
g / certainly am not trespassing upon
he valuable time of the club when [
lay that we all rejoice to see our brother
lere. | am now more than ever con-
rinced that I should indulge in few
emarks. l will go back to the begin
ling and"
But the club rose up as one man and
hoked him off, and the meeting opened

Strange Devices Of Philadelphia So.
CietY Women.

Society women in Philadelphia are
accused of strange devices by the shop
keepers. One storekeeper in the arti-
ficial-flOwer business says it is quite a
common occurrence to have ladies call
on the morning before ball and have
handsome flowers sent to their resi-
dence for appreciation, which are faith
fully returned the next day, with per-
haps the purchase of fifty-eent rose,
and occasionally without making any
purchase at all, having thus obtained
the required adornments for one even
ing's wear at the merchants expense.
Some time ago a carriage customer, it
is said, ordered to be sent to her FASH
ionable residence, for selection, braid,
puhs and curls of color to match her
hair. As it was on the eve of a grand
reception, the messenger was told not
to return without the money OF the
goods. The lady played sick, the arti-
oles were sent to her room for examina-
ton, and the messenger politely dis
missed. Determined not to be hum
bugged, the storekeeper sent a per-
emptory message, demanding the re-
turn of the articles Immediately, which
was reluctantly complied with.

other hand, heated to 150 or 100 degrees,
produces abundant froth, the jerks are
much less pronounced, and the mass
grows brown, hut in q different way.
a good part of the brown coloring mat
ter remains in suspension in the butter,
so that the whole mass has a character
istic brown aspect, similar to that of the
sauce called GN bearTe aoir. All nat
ural buffers behave thus, and it is
strange, M. Donny says, that this sim
pie method of distinguishing natural
from artificial butter has not been indi-
Gated before. The Importance of the
above observation is, of course, appar-
ent in the present olemargarine con-
troversy.

Scheming for a Balloon Voyage to the
Poles. E@E It

Commander John p. Cheyne, R. N,
responded on Saturday, the Oath of Jan
uary, to an invitation from the members
Of the Royal Artillery institution, at
Woolwich, to explain his scheme for
the scientific exploration and discovery
of the north pole by means of q steam
er, sledges and balloons. He stated that
Lord Derby and six members of Par
lament had joined the central commit
tee--namely, Sir Charles Dixie, Mr.. j.
H. Puleston, Mr.. William I. Charley,
Mr.. William Gordon, DIR. Cameron and
Colonel Alexander. 1t is proposed to
hold meeting at the Mansion House,
to be presided over by the Lord Mayor,
to finally decide on the expedition.
The plan sketched is as follows: If the
estimated cost, ESQ, 900, is forthcoming
the expedition will start in June. Her
Majesty's Government will be asked to
lend the steam store-ship Discovery for
the purpose, It is also in contemplation
thata shooting party will accompany the
steamer to some Of the Arctic bays.
where there is some splendid shooting
wild ducks flying about there in tiOcks
of sixty at a time, four or five tiocks
often passing every minute. Command
er Cheyne purposes wintering the first
year in as high latitude as posi-
BILE. The sledges will start about March
30, 1881. When the sledges are baffled
by obstacles recourse will be had to
balloons. These are expected to start
about June, next year, (which at time
the sun will be shining in the Arctic
regions ebay and night" The bal
looms will be inflated at starting by
passing steam through iron filings, and
viii be afterward manipulated by
means of q supply of pure condensed
hydrogen. Three balloons will be en-
ployed, each having lifting power of
one to one and one-half tons. The bal
loon party will consist of seven per-
sons, with water and provisions for
fifty-one days, but it is expected that
they will reach the North Pole in from
thirty to forty hours after leaving the
sledges. The exploring party will re-
main at the North Pole about week
for scientific observation, and will dis
patch balloon to Russia for the pur-
pose of telegraphing the news to
The intelligence, it is
thought, can be conveyed from the
North Pole, UJB ST. Petersburg, to Lon
don within three days. The Arctic
Regions will be photographed from the
balloon every hour, the distance to be

ted at five hundred miles, Mr.. Coxwell
