Report Of the Inspector-G General Of
q ss Steamboats,. r.f--

General Dumont, Supervising Inspector
General Of Steamboats, IN his annual re-
port, recommends that the ',Board of SUI
peryising Inspectors be abolished, and in
stead thereof that the Secretary OF the
Treasury be empowered to convene q mixed
committee, composed Of Supervising local
and assistant inspectors. to examine and
report to him upon the efficiency OF any de-
vice to be used upon steam-vessels which
requires his approval. In the matter Of ap-
pointments, General Dumont says: al
would respectfully suggest the advisability
Of appointing Supervising local and assistant
Inspectors BY the Secretary of the Treas
ury upon nomination, In each case, of the
immediate superior officer of each grade,
thereby properly holding each superior
officer respc nsible for the general fitness and
efficiency of his immediate subordinate, and
also giving the superior officer power to
suspend any subordinate pending investiga-
ton of charges by the Secretary Of the
Treasury involving incompetency, neglect
of duty, or misbehavior Of the subordinate.
As upon faithful performances of duty by Of
fcers Of this service depend the lives of mill
: lions of people and the safety Of an incalcu-
liable amount Of property annually, the
necessity Of dealing promptly and sum-
marily with any to whom even suspicion
attaches Of neglect of duty must be consid-
cred as OF more importance than the inter-
est OF the single person affected by such
summary action. The. files OF the Office
record one experience when fifteen valuable
human lives were the penalty paid for con-
tinuing the duties Of n negligent officer
pending examination Of charges OF remiss-
ness of duty in cases were lives were pre-
yiously lost.O

The Fuel Problem.

The frontier farmer has rough-and-
ready way of solving such economical
problems as his circumstances suggest.
The philosophical Tribune would not
theorize about resumption-he would re-
sume The prarie farmer is his counter
part He does the thing in controversy,
and that to him is solution. 1t is not
here meant to say that it is the general
custom of Nebraska and Kansas to burn
corn; bnt when corn is superabundant,
the surplus of the crib, in thousands of
homes, finds its way into the kitchen stove
and to the heating stove, when the farmer
can afford the second luxury. Burn foodl

chorus the economists who have been
taught the hardships and the manifold
chances of evil in the struggle for existence
in the old world and the crowded eastern
half of the new.
But is the prarie farmer, who burns his
corn in his stove, rights This is an
economical question nothing more and
nothing less. There is no religion in an
ear of corn that should taboo it from any
reasonable use. 1t is no more sacred than
the trunk of a thousand years oak. There

Sermons in stones. and good in everything;
and, economically, the best good is the best
use. Though the plains are emerging
from them, there are yet conditions in
which to burn corn is one of best uses to
which the product can be put. Thirty
eight bushels of corn equal in combustible
matter one ton of bituminous coal. Each
yield 1,700 lbs. of such matter. At the
stations on the lines of the Burlington and
Missouri Railroad Company, in Nebraska,
the farmer will obtain his coal for 81 per
ton. Corn costs the grower 1218 cents per
bushel, which pays for labor and seed and
interest on investment, and taxes. The
1,700 lbs of combustible matter in corn
will cost the farmer $475; and out of this
he,pays himself wages. The r,700 lbs in the
coal cost him $7.-Oscar A Mullon, in The
Journal of the American Agricultural
Association for October.

Amputation Of the Leg.
The Old Family Physician at
Fault-Dr. David Kennedy
the Successful Surgeon.

Money IS the universal necessity, and
none but q cynic Or fool will affect to
despise il. Mr.. Abram Ellsworth, OF
Port Even, Ulster county, n. Y, had
realized this truth. His disease involved
the whole Of the thigh bone. and the
suffering man looked forward nets with
out apparent reason, to death as his only
deliverer. His family physic refused
to amputate the llmb-asserting that the
operation would kill, the patient on the
spot. DIR. David Kennedy, of Rondout,
n. Y, who was consulted, held differ
ent opinion, and amputated the limb
The Doctor then administered freely his
great, Blood Specific FAVORlTE
Remedy to afford tone, and strength
to the system, and prevent the return
of the disease, and Mr.. Ellsworth re-
mains TO this day in the bloom of health.
This gentleman's disease was the OF
spring of foul blood, and Kennedy's

blood and restored TO him the power
once more to enjoy his life. Are you

i troller Of the Treasury.

Judge William Lawrence, First Comp
troller OF the Treasury, has submitted his
annual report, OF which the following is an
abstract: Accounts and vouchers have been
received from the First and Fifth Auditors
and from the Commissioner of the General
Land Office, and credited as follows: From
the First Auditor, e,036 accounts and 61,57I
vouchers, amounting to S2,707, 1856, ,2se. 90;
from the Fifth Auditor, 6,464 accounts and
184 ,547 vouchers, amounting to $75s, s,673, $685.
.S2; from the Commissioner Of the General
Land Office, 2,8o1 accounts and II, 7,6o2
vouchers, amounting to $5,942, ,740. The to-
tai amount OF accounts and vouchers au-s
,dited, s,47l, s55, 20. Is. Suits have been in
stituted against defaulting officers as follows:
Collectors Of Internal Revenue, 4; Receivers
Of Public Money, 81. Revenue stamp books
were counted and certified as follows: To-
bacco, LOGS; spirits. 1,s12; special tax stamp
The report makes the following recon-
mendations: That It be recommended to
Congress that the Solicitor Of the Treasury
represent the Government before the First
Comptroller when important claims ara be-
ing considered by him; that the Secretary be
given authority to cause Investigations by
officers of the Department of the official
transactions and accounts OF officers under
, the Department. Some vouchers Of the
District OF Columbia Commissioners are for
work not technically authorized by law, but
actually needed. The attention of Congress
is, however, called TO, this fact, that they
may take action upon the matter. BE says
lt Il indispensable TO the prompt adjustment
of claims and the carrying on Of the busi-
ness Of the office, that additional clerical as
sistance be given him. - He, suggests
that . division of the claim Office,
with proper persons In charge Of
each department, would facilitate
work. Regarding certain disbursing oficers
who are also custodians, he recommends
from them reports. similar to those used In
the Quartermaster's Department under sec
ton 1,221, Of the Revised Statutes. He sug-
gests that provision be made for filing the
places Of Secretaries OF the Territories in
case Of the death or absence Of persons hold
ing such places. BE again recommends
that limit be fixed for the time in which
claims against the Government may be
brought.

OH, WHY SHOULD THE SPIRIT OF NOR
TABLE PROUD?

The following poem was President Lincoln's
favorite, and while he knew it by heart and
loved 10 repeat it he never learned the authors
name, although he was many years previous to
his death anxious to do 80:
Oh, why should the spirit of mortal be proud?
Like swift feeting meteor, fast feeting cloud,
A fash of the lightning, break of the wave,
Man passes from life to his rest in the grave.
The leaves Of the oak and the willow shall fade,
Be scattered around and together be laid;
And the young and the old, and the low and the
high,
Shall moulder to dust and together shall lie.
The infant mother attended and loved,
The mother that infants affection who proved,
The husband that mother and infant vino blessed
Each, all, are away to their dwelling of rest
The maid on whose cheek, on whose brow, in
whose eye,
shone beauty and pleasure, her triumphs are
by;
And the memory of those who loved her and
Are alike from the minds of the living erased.
The hand of the king that the sceptre hath
borne,
The brow of the priest that the mitre hath worn,
The eve of the sage, and the heart OF the brave,
Are hidden and lost in the depth of the grave.
The peasant whose lot was to sow and to reap,
The herdsman who climbed with his goats up the
steep,
The beggar who wandered in search of his bread,
Have faded away like the grass that we tread.
The saint who enjoyed the communion OF
heaven,
The sinner who dared to remain unforgiven,
The wise and the foolish, the guilty and just,
Have quietly mingled their bones in the dust.
So the multitude goes, like the flower or the
weed,
That withers away to let others succeed;
So the multitude comes, even those we behold,
To repeat every tale that has often been told.
For we are the same that our fathers have been;
We see the same sights that our fathers have
We drink the same stream, and we view the
same sun,
And run the same course that our fathers have
run.
The thoughts we are thinking our fathers would
think;
From the death that we shrink from our father
would shrink;
To the life that we cling to they also would cling
But it speeds for all, like bird on the wing
They loved, but the story we cannot unfold;
They scorned, but the heart of the naughty il
cold
They gre red, but no wall from their slumber
VII come;
They joyed, but the tongue of their gladness i
dumb.
They died, ayl they died; and we things tina
now,
Who walk over the turf that lies on their brow
Who make in their dwelling transient abode
Meet the things that they met on their pilgrim
age road.
Yes hope and dependency, pleasure and pain
Are mingled together in sunshine and rain;
And the smile and the tear, the song and tn
dirge,
Still follow each other, like surge upon surge.
IT'S the twink of an eye, tits the draught of
breath,
From the gilded saloon to the bier, and tn
shroud-
o, why should the spirit of mortal be proudf

The Pleasures OF Business.

No human mind is contented without
occupation. No human soul is satisfied
without an aim or purpose in life. The
greatest success in life consists not in
the mere accumulation of riches, but in
being able to acquire wealth with dis
position to apply it in such . manner
that it shall be comfort and blessing to
others-not in the mere giving away Of
money, but in putting people ina way
to labor and help themselves. There is
no pleasure in oppression. There is no
JOY in grinding and exacting gold from
the poor; but there is great deal of
genuine satisfaction in being able to offer
steady and honorable employment to
the many willing hands that have Moth
ing to do. One of the greatest enjoyment
of the prosperous business man consists
in being able to comfortably provide for
the many employees in his house or manu-
factory. In doing this he is fulfilling
his obligations to society; he becomes q
useful and honored citizen; business to
him Is real pleasure; he enjoys his suc-
cess when it is fairly won because he
feels that he deserves it.
When the business man has the right
kind of purpose in life he enjoys his
occupation, he feels just and worthy
pride in his prosperity, he is pleased
| with the respect and gratitude of those
! whom he directs and controls in the
management of his affairs, and he feels
that in benefting himself he is confer
ing favor upon others Criterion.
DR.. Day says in late lecture: What
ever be the plan of treatment decided
| upon, rest is the first principle to incul-
| cate in very severe headache. Rest,
which the busy man and anxious mother
| cannot obtain so long as they can man.
age to keep about. is one of the first
remedies for every headache, and we
should never cease to enforce it. The
| brain, when excited, as much needs
quiet and repose as fractured limb or
an infamed eye; it is obvious that the
| chances of shortening the seizure md
arresting the pain will depend on our
power to have this carried out actually.
It is practical lesson to keep steadily
| in view that there may lurk behind q
simple headache some lesson of unknown
magnitude, which may remain station
ary if quietude can be maintained. There
! is a point worth attending to in the
treatment of all headaches. It is that
the head be elevated at night, and the
| pillow hard for if it be soft the head
sinks into it and becomes hot, which,
with some people, is enough to provoke
an attack in the morning if sleep has
been long and heavy.
