Official reports are gratifying. FOR the

lSSO the receipts of the department amount

the tariff on imports OF sugar ana molasses,
for the fiscal year, was about one-4uarter
Of the entire receipts from customs. Inc re-

The receipts from sugar amounted 10 Dul

A MIDNIGHT ADVENTURE
OF Doughty Deputy sheriff and
a COld.B10Oded Clerk.

A night or two since a we'll known
Deputy Sheriff, who rooms on Front
street, was detained up town until nearly
midnight when he started for his lodgings
A certain clerk who has a room in the
same building, was also busy until that
hour, and both neared their Sleep
ing apartments at tho same time,
approaching them from opposite di.
r%ections. The Deputy Sheriff, probably
from a habit of stealthiness acquired in the
pursuit Of desperate criminals and reluct-
antjurors, assembled the steps leading up
from the alley way, while the clerk ran
up the front stairs. 1t was dark as pitch
in the long hall way and though each
could see the form Of the other by the
light Of a window at either end, recopni-
ton was impossible. The valiant deputy
fumbled for his pistol while the clerk felt
for his barlow. Neither spoke but both
stood, stock still, wondering what des-
perate garroter was before him and trying
hard to keep his hair from raising the hat
off his head. At last the clerk turned
square around and started down the
steps with all the dignity he
could command under the circumstances.
The heroic deputy, dead certain that the
meek stranger was making straight for
him, alto started down the alley, four steps
at a time. The noise he made in his re-
treat awoke a new sense of terror and the
feeling that he was being pursued in the
mind Of the clerk, who grabbed the banis-
ter rail in both hands and everlastingly
few.
Half way around the block they met,
breathless but brave, and the following
coloquy ensued:
II think there is some one up in our
