The Making OF Greenbacks.

United States notes are printed on
paper made in Dalton, q small town in
Massachusetts,, and each blank sheet Of
the peculiar paper used is guarded al
most as carefully as il it were already
printed and signed. The mill in which
it is mede is one of the oldest in the
country, having been established in
colonial times. The grayish pulp,
which is the embryo form of the paper,
passes between heavy rollers, and, as it
moves along, bits of blue and red silk
thread ore scattered over its surface.
From the pulp-room to the vaults, in
which it is stored until it is sent to
Washington, it is iealously watched. 1t
is carried to Washington in small iron
safes, and some of it is kept in the
Treasury vaults for years, until it is
needed. The mere possession OF any OF
this paper by an unauthorized person Is

INTERNAL REVENUE.
The Annual Report o. Commi.sioner u

The Annual Report o. missioner Raum.
Green Il. Raum. Commissioner of Internal
Revenue, in his annual report to the Secretary
OF the Treasury, says that taxation bv internal
revenue has increased from sll3,OOO,oOO in 1879
to STAG 100000 in 1881, and he estimates the re-
ceipts for this year at sl45,O00,000. He believes
the revenues should be reduced from $500 900
to s7o, 900 annually, and that II they con-
tinued at the present rate. the Treasury would
contain n surplus in a short time which would
neoesstate the purchase of bonds, the d.
mand for which by the Government would
enhance their value at the cost OF
the Ieople. As TO the manner in which
the reduction of ohe internal revenue should be
made, the Commissioner says that sound policy
dictates that the relief should fall upon those
articles which form the necessaries Of life and
those interests which are of pressi z Importance
10 the country. He thinks the duty on sugar,
now amounting to Sl2,OUU,OOO yearly should be
abolished, and that home producers as an or
act to the loss of protection, be given bounty
of2@ cents on each pound manufactured. The
Commissioner estimates the stock OF dis
titled spirits in bond at about equal to SIX
years consumption, and thinks an extension OF
the bonded period IL a pressing want OF the
trade. A the manufacturers, 10 avoid with
drawal OF their property, and consequent pay
ment Of taxes, thinking OF exporting their
whisky and then reimportng and storing 1t in
customs bonded warehouses, Gen. Raum IL OF
opinion that legislative relief could be afforded
with safety without putting the manufactu' ers
TO this outlay. The Commissioners il opposed TO
any modification Of the tax on tobacco except
40 far may be necessary to equalize the tax
upon cigars.
The report shows that the total zee pts of tn >
Government for the fiscal year from all Sources
OF internal revenue were $l3s,ss4O9O. This az

The Animals Demonstration.

A drove of asses which had been
wandering through the country came
one day to pure and crystal pool.
While shaking their thirst, the asses
observed that the surrounding section
was fertile in the extreme, and was evi.
IDENTIFY the abiding place of vast null
titude of deer, sheep, goats and lesser
animals, for the pool was completely
surrounded by them, all drinking their
fill.
Presently an ass addressed his COM
panions as follows:
I'm all our travels we have never
found more delightful dwelling place.
This pool, apparently, is the sole drink
ing place of these animals. Let us
drive them away from the pool and take
possession. We shall then have all the
fertile country to ourselves, and can
cease our wanderings through the
land"
This suggestion seemed wise one to
the asses, and accordingly they notified
the deer, the sheep. the goats and the
lesser animals that henceforth they
must drink no more ut the pool.
Now in all that country round there
was no other water to be had, and rs the
rightful jewellers on the soil loved their
birthplace they could not bear to leave
for strange land.
Therefore messengers were sent to all
the deer, goats, sheep and lesser ami
mails, asking them all to meet under @
clump of bushes q few rods from the
pool.
In little while all the animals met
and SO mighty were their numbers that
the absurdity of so few asses deprivine
them of their birthright Immediately
struck all present
II perceive" said an old goat, "that
we are all of one mind. We can see
that our numbers are so great that it is
impossible for the asses to stand before
us. Let us therefore Immediately fall
upon these robbers and trample them
out of existence"
NAY" said an old sheep; "although
they do not deserve it, let us give the
asses warning. We will walk in full
force to the pool, and our mighty
strength will surely strike terror to the
hearts of our oppressors; they will
give up their usurped ownership, and
bloodshed will be avoided"
This wise and gentle counsel pre-
vailed, and the sheep, the deer, the
goats and the lesser animals, every one,
mighty army, approached the pool.
The asses were much alarmed at this
imposing sight, but the love of power
was too much for them, and they would
not let the animals drink
1--WE will give you time to think over
it," said the sheep, who had counseled
this peaceful course "but by and by
we shall come to drink. and if you OPP
pose us, you must take the conse.
quences."
And now noontide approached and
the thirsty animals drew near in full
force to the pool.
Being asses. the usurpers opposed
their advance.
A Gathering of many hoofs were
heard, heavy cloud of dust arose. anG
oil the animals were hidden from oul
view.
When the dust cleared away, the
banks of the pool were to be seen GOV

the Ten Cents that his Mother had
given him to buy Marbles with, and
also told him that he could not play for

"Give mo the Marbles that you are

for Keeps. and after School is out we
will Divide what have won, for 1 am

truthfully tell your Mother that you
