"There are probably very few merchants
who know what it costs the government
to conduct its business" says Brsdstreets.
During is-t the amount of internal reve-
nue. collected US sl35, 264,3s5. The cost
of collecting it was -, 31' ,793, or 3 u per
cent. Daring the same year customs col
I-ciions were $I9s, LIS, $40, and the cost of
collection 1888 ,xss, or , % per cent
There has always been some feeling be-
tween the two branches Of revenue service
ss to the comparative expense Of their sys-
tens. THIS has varied greatly from time
TO time, as 10 f-77 the internal revenue de-
partment cost about three per cent. aud
the customs service FIVE per ceut. of the
collections, while last year the percentage
of expense was almost the same in each.
There are q great number Of custonihonses
aud customs officers scattered along the
coast, the maintenance of which cannot be
defended on business principles. Once es-
tablishe I, however, it is next to impossi-
bile Ia do away with them. They are small
political machines which are continued be-
cause politicians need them to supply places
for their friends. Dozens Of them ought
to be abolished, sud some of the money
now wasted on them could be made TO

Asleep in deaths embrace,
Upon whose pale and BILE brow

And while I gazed, little girl,
With timid, gentle air,
Came by my side aud foses placed
Within The sleep-r's hair.

She said she WAS too old and wan,
For roses in her hair.

The wrinkles from her brow
Shes dead fo-day-within her hair
I'll Irvine my roses now
She stood beside her mothers form.
And trimmed her hair with flowers;
No tears were in the wee ones eyes.
But brimming full were ours,
To see the sad. sweet earnestness
With which she worked away
Just as she oft had decked her doll.
When busy at her play.
Then stepping back, she gared upon
The still and ssint-d face,
From which deaths hand had fondty wiped

Then looking up, she sobbing said,
Her hair 1t still is gray

The Tlehborae Case.

The main facts of the story are that
Rogers Tichborne was heir to a bsronetcy
and estate yielding 100000 year. He
entered the army, remained three years,
and after visiting South America disap-
peared, and is supposed to have been lost
At sea. His morher, proud and Insane, was
unwilling that the estate should fall into
the hands Of a det.sted dsughter-in.law,
and accordingly advertised in Australia for
the missing heir. Arthur Orton, a butcher
and low saveturer, Immediately went to
England, and, backed Ivy spectators and
accnmpiices, claimed the estate. The
mother was an easy dnp-. and though the
| claimant was wonderfully unlike Roger
