miles from Corinth farmer, on a crop lien,
is buying corn at 81 80 per bushsl and meat
at sixteen cents per pound, and We would
ask what is to become OF the country under
such system? Ther4 must be a change.
Supplies must be raised at home. Whenever
a pound of cotton won't pay Tor pound OF
bacon, the farmer should let the cotton go
and raise the meat"

now for good fruit crop in the hill portion
of Yazoo. Many deer have left the bot

THE NAVY.
EXPENDITURES FOB THE LAST FISCAL Z EAR -
VARIOUS DEMONSTRATIONS.


VARIOUS RECOMMENDATIONS.
WASHINGTON, November 22.-The annual
report OF Fourth Auditor Bsardsley shows
tn at the aggregate payments on account OF
the navy for the facaI year ended June 80,
1882, were little less than the aggregate APP
propriatious made by Congress for that
year. Some OF the appropriations we're
over-expended, and the deficiencies were pro-
vided for at the last session Of Congress,
Disbursements amounting 10 more than
SIS, OO0, 900 have been made without loss for
the support of the serv ice in foreign waters.
Bills of exchange. were cold amounting
to S1767, 723, of which 81 ,355,l3 were
drawn on our agents in London, and S4l2,-
$50 on the Secretary of the Navy. This
latter cum il more than double that OF the
previous years, and indicates an improved
condition of cur foreign trade, and credit
commission OF one per cent. is paid to our
London agents on sums paid by them. The
auditor suggests that this work could be as
well done by the pay officer OF the navy,
thus making = saying in expense. If
the present agency is to be continued,
one-half of one per cent. would be
ample commissions. Congress is earnestly
urged to make the necessary appropriation
for the rem ainder Of the New Orleans prize
money. The appropriation Of the sum in
sroes for the entertainment OF the Board Ct
Visitors at the Naval Academy 10 pro-
nounced pnwiae, and bill of items given as
an ILLUSTRATION, IL having been made at the
last meeting OF the board. Some of the ex-
penditures in the bill arei Carriages, S106;

glass, St; flowers, S13; China, S205; servants,

detail, making a total OF $2lS9. The re-
mainder OF the $500 appropriated was ex-
hausted in the payment OF mileage. For
the further Improvement Of the civil service

Eeardsley suggests the following provisions
