The cost of the copies of the revised civil
statutes, penal code aGd code of criminal pro.
cedure WAS 50 10 per copy for an edition OF
LOCO copies, or total cost of S22016 Is. tho
difference arising from the incorporating into
the work Of the amendments, etc.
In reference TO the deaf and dumb printing
office, the board says:
"We have caused careful estimate TO be
made of what the work done there would
have cost the state had it been done under
the contract for the public printing at prices
etintely determined in the contract, with
the object in view Of ascertaining the flnan-
cial result and presenting it. The total cost
of the work done at the Office, including the
cost of material used, expenses of rep 0irs
made, and pay of instructor of printing,
from january !, 1879 to March |, 1885, was
$2,4O4 Y. The printing done for tho state
at the otlice curing that time il done by the
contractors, would have cost the state
Sl,6237 10, resulting in a balance on the wrong
side that is against the otlice-of SSS007.
From March |, 1880, to January l. 1881,
the work done at the printing Office, ipclud-
inc cost OF stationery, pay of printers, and
all charges for repairs, has cost the state the
sum of S5,26706. The same work, if done
by the contractors, would have cost the state
S741S.l7, resulting for this latter period in
a balance in favor of the office of S2,15l11.
This division of the time is made tor the
reason that on March l, 1880, the new cylin-
der press, run by steam power, for the pur-
chase OF which an appropriation was made
by the last legislature, was put into opera
ton. We believe that an inspection of the
work done at this of6ce, MS now furnished,
will prove that it has been done in better
style and that better paper has been used
and yet with less expense to the state. And
in considering the utility of The office, the
great benefit, Us we ara informed it is to the
mutes, to whom it gives an opportunity to
acquire knowledge of printing, must not
be forgotten. Possibly that alone, we're the
office an edmitt, d expense to the state, would
furnish sufficient reason for continuing it..
Thereupon followsA statement of the hids
to do tho public printing and binding md to
furnish stationery, for the four classes respect
lively. These bids appear to have been made
almost exclusively by Messrs. A, II. Belo
& o., John Cardwell and u. " S9indels,

by B. j. Kopperel and 10. q. Maggie. For
the first class work. the composition is put

ANOTaER CRANK,
Who, When Refused Position In the
Postoface, Wanted to snuff
Out the Postmastsr's Light"

1sAboutI ] :3Oo'clock Thursday just after Post
from dinner, man entered the room and
asked for the Postmaster Mr. Wildman.
was engaged in writing letter and told the
man to have a seat. The stranger sat down.
Du led a large package of letters from
his pocket and handed one to the Post
master, which was from Senator Harrison.
The stranger said to the Postmaster THAT
letter is from Senator Harrison who refuses
to give me or even help me get a iovern-
ment position. Now, 1 want a position in
the Postoffice. | am entitled to it, My
mother, who is still living, furnished seven
boys for the Army, and it is no more than
right | should have a position in the Post
Office. Ny name is Hibben, and nv
poor old mother resides at Southport"
The Postmaster says that he thought
the IN; n was drinking but he did not smell
of liquor. He replied 10 Hbben that he
was sorry, but there was no place Just at
present that he could give him. Hibben
then said that il made 40 difference: he did
not want the position, but bis mother de-
sired that he should secure q place i'm
the Postoffice. After some further con-
versation Hibben said: II know more
about politics than you, Harrison, Hen
bricks. or any of the rest of you, and can
tSdCu eOu SIcdt utdl dUOuC pDlltlCS. L
have a seven-shOOter in nv pocket and /
have a great mind to snuff out your light"
The Postmaste. says this kind of interested
him, and as soon as he could, without letting
Hibben get the drop on him, he
got up from his desk and got hold of chair
and told Hibben to leave the room, which
he did. As he was going out of the room
he said That's all right. 1 will just go
down and knock the sand off of Por-
ter's feet" True to his word he
walked directly to the Governors
office and inquired for Governor Porter,
the Governors Private Secretary informed
Hibban that the Governor was not in, when
Hibbai became quite violent, saying that he
had come down for the purpose of knock
ing the sand off of Porter's feet, and that
he intended to DO it. FINALLY, the gentle
men in the Governors office elected
Hibban from the room, and the matter
ended. Governor Porter said to a Sentinel
reporter that the same man was in to see
HIM several days since, but as he was busy
he did not see him.

LIES BURDENS

Maud Foster, aged about twenty-five
years whose home was on Patterson street
between Michigan and North, died from the
effects of a dose of opium Thursday at ii
o'clock. She took the drug night before
last about O'Clock, and lay down upon
bed, where companion, named Pud Will
son, woman who recently attempted sui
eide, found her an hour later. The latter
at once forced the unconscious girl to her
feet, AMI by great effort managed to get her
to the City Hospital, few squares distant
Emetics were given, and by the
exertions OF the physicians she was finally
restored To consciousness and kept walking
by the attendants until o'clock in the
morning. At this time she appeared almost
as bright and well as ever, and upon being
laughingly said she weuld not again attempt
suicide. She said she was tired of living, as
she had so much trouble, aud bought fifteen
cents worth of opium at Lambert's drug
store on Blake street, all of which she took,
having been prompted to the action by the
previous attempt of the Wilson woman. She
expressed desire to 60 home, in which her
companion Joined, and finally they went off
together, against the advice of the Hospital
doctors, who thought she had best stay till
morning. She was advised to keep awake at
the risk of her life. At half-past 10 o'clock
yesterday word was'sent to the Hospital that
the girl was dying, and when the physician
arrived shortly afterward she was dead. She
had been in good spirits until an hour before
her death, when she went to bed with fatal
result. 1t is not believed she took a second
quantity of the poison. The body was taken
to Flanner d Hommown's and will be in
tered to-day. The Coroner will begin an
inquest tomorrow.

ber and preliminary to the opening of the Forty

made the nominee of the Republicans for the po-
sitiOh OF Speaker. This was the result of sixteen

scarlet single zephyr, knlt aero plain
twenty two times, hind off, and leave al ED
long enough to sew up the sides. Run strong
thread through every stitch on one end,

ENGLAND.

LONDON, Dec. 13.---The Standard, in lead
ing article on Blaine's instructions, sent to
the American Minister at Lima, says: ut
may be absurd, but it is carrying the Mon
roe doctrine to its legitimate conclusion
to assume, by and by, that we shall see
representatives deputed from Washington
to contro! the relations of the Emperor of
Brazil with European powers, and the
savages of Patagonia invoking the aid of
United States Commission to COM
pose their differences. What is the
temper of the Cabinet at the
present moment We can only infer from the
growth of Chauvinist sentiment which az
confused the discussion of the canal ques-
ton. As to Peru it is not wholly perhaps
a matter of sentiment. 1t is true Blaine
has resigned, and Americans will have no
longer TO admire the glowing periods in
which he has maintained the pretensions of
his country, but American diplomacy is
uniform. 1t will be much the same whether
the dispatches are penned by Frelinghuysen
or Blaine. 1t is not improbable that Presi-
dent Arthur may soon announce that peace
is restored, and a new protectorate by the
United States established. -
The Pail Mall Gazette says: "The impres
sion cr ated by Blaines dispatch is undoubt-
edly bad, and il would have been much
worse if the author was still intrusted with
the direction of the foreign policy of the
United States. We feel no apprehension
that the attitude Hurlbut assumed at Lima
will be persisted in by the Commi sioner
who superseded him. The American people
have too much to do nearer home to set up
as adjudicators among the South American
Republics. If any European Power were to
interfere the circumstances would be al
tered.
