A statistical table lately issued bv the
Treasury department gives the revenues
and expenditures of the United States
for each fiscal year from 1856 to 1882.
In 1885 the total net revenue was S74.-
o56,699, and the expenditure @9. 81 .O25,
leaving surplus revenue Of about four
million and half. The revenue at that
time was derived almost exclusively
from the 'st 'ms and the proceeds OF
public lard sales. The net revenues
for the last fiscal voar were $4O3, 5o5. go
OF which 1920. O.41O.73 was derived from
customs, s14f 497 ,5o5 from internal rev.
enne. A,752. 40 from sales Of public lands,
and S31 ,703, $40 from miscellaneous sourc-
es. The expenditure has also Increased
largely in these twentv-six years but not
SO much as the revenue. The general.
civil and miscel1aneou expenses were
$32.124.214 in 1855, and S57 ,219, $50 in
1882. The war department expenses
have increased from SIG, ,942, 1856 to S43,.
5M,494. The navy department expenses
have scarcely increased at all, having
been fourteen millions in 1856 and fif-
teen millions in 1882. The Indians cost
$2,769 ,429 in the former year, and &c.,
1871 in the latter. But the greatest
increase is in pensions, which from a
little more than one million in 1856, cost
slxty-one millions in 1882, and interest
on the publis debt, which has grown
from less than two millions to seventy
one millions, but which for one year,
in 1857, was nearly one hun lred and
forty-four millions. The surplus reven.
ue last year was $l45, ,543, $40. The facts
are in concise shape and are worthy oil
preservation by all who take an interest
in public affairs.

ard the scandinav;ans and British
Americans have increased, the British
Americans now forming nearly II per
cent. Of the total foreign population. In
1870 the Germans formed nearly one
third Of the total foreign population; in
1880 they formed 2f5 per cent. ofthe total
pornlation showing a slight decrease in
the decade. Gen. Walker also exhibit

THE DAILY THINGS OF LIFE.

All around us lie the awful sacrednesses ;,
Ofbabes and cradles, graves and hoary hairs
Ofgirish daughters and Of manly cares:
OF moaning S g's and passionate care,ses.
Ofintinite ascenslOns nf the sOui,
And wild hyena- hunger: Of the flesh;
OF cottage virtues and the solemn roll
OF populous cities thunder; and the fresh,
Warm faith OF childhood, sweet as migno
nette,
Amid Doubts bitter heritage, and the dear
Reglimpses of the early stars which set
Down the blue skies of our lost hemisphere,
And all the CONSIDERATIONS and delights,
Woven in the texture ofthe days and nights
The daily miracle Of life goes on
Within our chambers, at our household
hearths,
In sober duties and in jocund mirths;
In all the unquiet hopes and fears that run
Out of our hearts along the edgesof
The terrible abysses; in the calms
OF friendship, in the ecstacies OF love;
In burial dirgAs and i'll marriage psalms;
In all the lar, weird voices that we hear;
In all the mystic visions we behold;
In our souls summers when the days are
clear;
And in our winters when the nights are cold
And in the subtle secrets Of our breath,
And that Annunciation named death.
