The Public Dekt.

John M. Carson, clerk Of the house
committee on ways and means, has
prepared the following analysis Of the
debt statement for January: The de-
crease in the public debt for January
is nearly $l3,000,000, and for the seven
months Of the ,current fiscal year over
100000, against $52, ,250,000 for the
corresponding seven months last year.
Since July the average monthly re-
duction has been $12,5S3, 700, which,
If maintained for the remaining five
months, would show a reduction for the
year of $149,000,000. Compared with
Feb. /, 1881, there is a reduction in
the aggregate debt Of $139,2e6,000.
Current liabilities on account Of called
and matured bonds are about $780,
100000, Of which amount nearly $7,-
100000 are for extended 8 per cent
bonds recently called. II is singular
fact that the column Of debts on which
interest has ceased may be found bonds
that ceases to bear interest as far back
as 1864, There are, however, but $20,-
600 outstanding of this class Of bonds,
and it is probable the greater portion
of this amount has been lost or des-
troyed. OF 6 per cent bonds known
as consuls Of 1867. interest on which
ceased April l, 1879, there is outstand-
ing, including interest, about $1,20O,-
0OO, and of the per cent funded loan,
interest on which ceased last May,
there is outstanding nearly $3,00O,000.
Why holders of these bonds do not
present them for payment is a mys-
tery that cannot be explained. The,
available cash in the treasury is about
$144, 100000, a decrease of $l2,000,00O
compared with Jan. /. The large
amount required to pay semi-annual
interest and increased disbursements
that always attend the first month of
congress will account for this decrease.
There is a remarkable increase in the
number of silver dollars on hand CON-
pared with January l. There is now
in the treasury nearly 72,500,O0O of
these silver pieces, against 68,OO0,0OO.
on January !, an increase of $4,4OO,-
600. Silver certificates now Outstand-
ing amounts to SCI, ,357, $40, an increase
for the month Of $18,000,000. Frac-
tiOnal silver coins on hand show an in
crease of nearly $2,00O,000. In gold
coin and sold bullion the decrease for
the month is $4,000, 600, while the in
crease in United States and patiOnal
bank notes is $5,000,000. Receipts
for January compared with the same
month last year are shown in the fol-
lowing table:

NOT 4 SICKLY SEiSON
The CITY Better In Heaith than Usual. thoush
it's Everybody's Hospital.

DR.. Maggie, Registrar of Vital --,r,Istics,
says that the state of the health OF New York
city is not at all fairly indicated by the tables Of
mortality furnished by the Bureau OF Vital
Statistics. because in those lists are recorded
the deaths of all persons. from whatever State
or country they may come. who die in the pub
lie hospitals. asylums. and prisons Of the city.
Thus the list OF deaths is swelled beyond an
enumeration OF those who die under strictly
local influences. For January. February and
March Of this year there were 1O277 deaths.
while In the second quarter there wore but
1913. The falling of was chiefly in cases Of tho
contagious diseases. which have decreased
with remarkable regularity. Scarlet fever. for
instance. had not for several years been az fire.
quent us 1t was in January and February OF
this year. in which months there were reported
respectively 1929 and / 1877 cases. Each month
wero but $50 cases. Smallpox has decreased
from lS7 cases in January to 80 in June there
~ last ' month While typhoid fever shows S
falling off in the six months from 46 to 20 cases.
or typhus fever there were no cases reported
n january ana In June there was AZ. In May
In the matter OF deaths from these diseases,
1881 and June So 1882. show a decrease IN il;
nearly every case Last year however. there

ter Just ended. Whooping cough also has been
much more prevalent this year,
., DR.. Magic said yesterday that undoubtedIe
there was loss sickness at present than is usual
at this time Of the year. This. he said, WAS
que partly TO the TACT that the fury OF scarlet
fever and like contagious diseases had been
spent early in the year. and that on account OF
the continued coolness OF tho summer the
usual diarrheal complaints had not us yet dee
voloped.
Inquiry among, some OF the druggists in the
pOpuous east side confirmed what il indicated
in the statistics as to the present healthfulness
OF the city. and similar answers were returned
to Inquiries In Brooklyn. 1t was indeed a
matter OF comment among the druggists that
their business was just now plainly affected By
what Is every one else's good fortune.

"Pious bores are an insufferable nuisance"
said the sexton OF an uptown fashionable
church. There is one fellow who has been
boring this church for year until at last was
compelled to threaten him with arrest. He

Clergymen are very often martyrs to this
sort OF persecution. Being non combatants.
thcy are expected to submit without resistance.
There Is hardly clergyman in New York Of
any prominence who has not some special bore
in his congregation who almost worries his life

DEMOCRATIC COUNTY TICKET.
A Little Giant.

Some weeks ago we announced to our
motive power from steam to water, a change
which, with the recent improvements in
our presses by at least one-third. The work
incident to the putting In of the motor was
begun last Monday when the Water Depart
ment proceeded to extend the main of the
Rodney street basin from Fifth street to a
point in front of the GAzErEE office.
At this point a two and a half
inch supply pipe was branched
from the main leading back to the press
room, eighty-ave feet in the rear. The
motor was got in place and given thorough
test last evening. 1t worked like a charm
and drove our large Hoe press with speed
that we have never been able to get, con
tinuously, from the engine hitherto in use.
The evenness, noiselessness and power with
which it run was all that could be desired,
and was surprising in a machine of such
unpretentious size. 1t stands only about
two and a half feet high and occupies
no more space on the floor than
would an ordinary sewing machine
The engine which stands beside it looks like
giant in comparison, yet 1t possesses q
twenty per cent. less power than tn,
motor. As compact, neat, economi
cal and highly effective piece O
machinery this motor, which is of the hates
Tuerk, pattern is one of the crowning su,
cesses of modern mechanics. 1t was buf
at Chicago, ILL.,, by Messrs Tuerk Bros. ,
johnson, for whom Mr.. Edward c. Painter
of the firm of Smith & Painter is the ageI
for this State. The motor was put In and a
connections made by Messrs. Gillespie
Marshall, plumbers, of 1O5 Shipley stree
and much of the credit for its immedia
successful operation is due to Il
excellent manner in whiC
they did their work. Our friend

ested in the subject are cordially invited

is handsome tribute to the sterling worth
and integrity of the Democratic candidate
for Governor. The writer says he is an
earnest Republican, but would certainly
vote for Charley" Stockley were he a
resident of Delaware. A good many Re
publicans who are residents of Delaware are
of the same opinion as the SUMS cores
