The Navy RepOrt,

Secretary of the Navy Hunt in his annual re-
port starts out by declaring that the condition
of the navy impeatively demands the prompt
and earnest attention of Congress-. Unless
some action is taken it will soon dwindle into
insignificance. Calls for vessels to protect
American citizens from aggression upon their
rights and shield them in time of civil commo-
tion in foreign lands, are made, he says, and it
is to be deplored that in many instances it has
proved impossible TO respond on account of
the lack of vessels This should not be 80.
While the navy should not be large,
1t should be In condition to bo promptly ex-
panded, whether TO protect our coasts, to guard
our commerce, or to shield our citizens abroad.
He then refers to the report of the naval
advisory board. He says the department
recommends, as entitled to the entire approba-
ton of Congress, the adoption of the views
of the majority of the board. The
difference of opinion in the board was so
slight, he AYERS, that these views may be re-
garded as the unanimous judgment of the
board.
The report states that the appropriations
available for the current expenses OF the fiscal
year ended June 80, 1881, were SIG, ,020, 30l; the
expenditures were s14, ,450, ,7S9. The estimated
amount needed to defray the expenses of the
department for the fiscal year ending June 80,
1883, is s20,0l3,716

Renort OF the War Department.

The annual report of the secretary of war is
chiefly devoted to the consideration of the
recommendations contained in the annual re-
ports of his subordinstes. General Sherman's
Recommendation that the army be increased to
10000 men receives Secretary Lincoln's ap-
proval The attention Of Congress is called to
the need OF legislation toprevent intrusion upon
Indian lands, especially from Kansas into the
Indian Territory. Secretary Lincoln invites
special attention to that part of kIe report Of
General Wright, chief Of engineers, which re-
fers to sea-coast defenses and says that il
seems simply matter of common prudence
that we commence without delay, and under
liberal appropriations, to put our coasts in an
efficient condition of defense. He thinks that
it would not be well to raise the standard of ad-
mission to West Point.
The actual expenditures under the war de-
partment for the fiscal year ending June 80,
1881, were $42, 122, ,2O1. The appropriations for
1892 were i4,Ss9, 725, and the estimates for
1883 call for $44, 541, ,276.

A climate not necessarily unhealthy often
proves go TO those unaccustomed to il. The
acclimating process seems unusually slow ir
some constitutions. There is, however, a
medicinal means Of acclimating it of which
residents and sojourners in unaccustomed ni
malarious climates have not been slow to avail
themselves. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is n
medicinal safeguard and acclimating tonic OF
standard reputation, which travellers, emil
grants, tourists, mariners and others whose
tastes and pursuits entail exposure subjection
to changes of temperature, unusual or un-
wholesome diet or water, and the fatigue at
tendant upon long journeys by land or sea,
concur in pronouncing it reliable, agreeable
and safe. As remedy for disorders of the
liver, stomach and bowels, very prevalent in
malarious regions and the tropics, as a pre-
ventive of fever and ague, rheumatism and
kidney troubles, and as a restorative of vigor,
1t is also held in the highest estimation.

Tne Internal Rcyenua.

informal Revenue Commissioner Green B.
Raum has submitted to tho secretary of the
treasury his annual report for the fiscal year
ended June 80, 1881. The receipts of internal
G21.33; for $780, s123,9S1 ,916. 10; for 1881,
sl3t, 229, 9l2.30, and the receipts for The first
four months Of the present fiscal year have
been $50, S76, go IL, being s7,06l 722.S5 in ey-
cess of tho receipts for tho corresponding
months of the last fiscal year. The commits
sioner says: "If this increase should be main.
tanned during the remaining eight months OF
the fiscal year, the receipts for 1882 will be
fully $157, 900, 000" The total amount of col.
lections from tobacco was si2, ,854, 99l.31. Gen.
eral Raum says that whenever tho wants of the
government will allow a reduction of internal
taxation, his opinion il, it will be wiss
to conine those taxes to distilled epir
its, malt liquors, tobacco and its products,
and to special taxes on manufacturers and
dealers in these articles, and to fix the taxes
at such rates as will yield the amount OF
revenue necessary to be raised from these
sources. He recommends additional legis.a-
tion for the protection of the lives and persons
of officers of the United States from the assaults
of those who resist their authority. He is of
opinion that there should be q law for the trial
and punishment III the courts of the Unite I
States of persons who kill, or make assaults
with intent to kill, such officers while in the
performance of their lawful duties. Tho sub
ject of pensioning the widows and orphans OF
officers of the revenue service who have been
killed is discussed. General Raum shows that
the attempt for the past five years to suppress
Illicit distilring has resulted in the killing ol
twenty-eight and the wounding of sixt! -four
officers and employees, and suggests the pro
priety of legislation authorizing suitable pen
sions to be awarded TO the widows and de-
pendent families of those killed, and directing
proper provisions to be made for those wounded
or disabled in the service.
General Raum makes various recommends
tions concerning the appointment of enployes'
