From tabulated statement which has been prepared by the Department of Justice, it appears that the expenses of the United States courts during the last fiscal year ag- gregate about $3, ,0oo, ,00o. The expenses of the United States marshals amounted, in round numbers, to $695, GOO; jurors, $457,- 900 witnesses, $6o5, 900 support of pris- oners, $241, 1,0o0; attorneys, $325, 1000; clerks, $145, ,000 commissioners, $102, GOO ;, rents, $3s, ,00O miscellaneous, $324 ,OO0. The most expensive districts were as follows District of Columbia, $243, ,oOO; western dis trict of Arkansas, $157, ,Oo0; South Carolina, $111, GOO; northern district of Georgia, $111, 200. In South Carolina and Georgia much of the court expenses can doubtless be attributed to election cases which were tried in those States during the last fiscal year, but the court expenses of the western district of Arkansas were swollen beyond all satisfactory explanation. The marshal of that district cost the govern ment over $32, 2,OO0, the jurors $17 7,5oO, wit nesses $66,000, support of prisoners $16,
 800, and other expenses amounted to $25,- 900. Apart from the salaries of the justices the total expenses of the Supreme court of the United States amounted to only $34, 900. The amount of fees paid to supervisors of elections for the last Congressional election was $2O3, 900. Of this amount over $82, 900 were paid in New York, $42, ,OOO in Pennsyl- vania, $17, ,O0O in California, $15, 900 in New Jersey, $12, 1000 in Massachusetts,.

A MERRY CHRIsTMAs.

We wish all our readers Merry Christ mas. We wish everybody Merry Christ mas, young and old, especially the young, sick and poor, especially the poor. And so we wish newspaper men in particular Merry Christmas. We wish our sharp brother of the Palladium Merry Christmas and hope that he will at least find his turkey free from gall. We wish the sturdy publisher of the Union Merry Christmas and also happy day of rest to the keen blade that shines in it's editorials. We wish the promising young editor of the Register Merry Christmas and 8 great many more of them as the years go on. We wish the Morning News Merry Christmas, that is, if in the high state of it's circulation Christmas dinner is safe We wish them all, publishers, managing editors, night editors and local editors, re- porters, printers and pressmen- very Merry Christmas. We do not for get the newsboys, who, through rain and shine, sleet and snow, through the fairest and the fouilest weather distribute our wares to the public If to any we should wish the merriest, happiest Christmas, it would be these, the youngest, but by no means the isast faithfol or least useful servants of the Press. We wish our advertisers Merry Christmas, and trust that their advertisements have helped them to make Merry Christmas merrier in hundreds of happy homes.
 We wish the town and city governments a Merry Christmas, and here is hoping that we shall never have to wish it to them again in thsir separate capacities. We wish the City court Merry Christmas, including all the assistants. We wish the whole grand old City of Films Merry Christmas. We would wisa the clerk of the weather Merry Christ mas if that would induce him to give 1t his best of Christmas gifts day of sunshine He has been both timely and generous in his gift of the snow. Now let him add his sunlight, and a day glad with the music of the sleigh-bells will show him how people can make the best of what is but too sure to be short-lived fa- vor.
 As for ourselves, we too intend to ha7s a Merry Christmas, and to banish pen, scis- sors, paste pot, and communicated prose and poetry. for one geod twsnty-four hours from our sight, and therefore our readers must not expect paper tomorrow, but must con- tent themselves with our good wishes in it's stead.

A Dr. Granville writes to the London Ian. ce5: Many persons who are not by habit drsamers are dreaming great deal just now and wondering why they do so. The answer is very simple. When cold weather sets in suddenly and is much felt at night, She head, which is uncovered, has the blood supplied to it driven from the surface to the deep parts, notably the brain-the organ of the mind. The results are light sleep and dreams. The obvious remedy is te wear nightcap or wrap the head warmly, at least while the cold weather lasts. I believe we of this generation suffer more from brain troubles than our predecessors because we leave the head exposed at night and the blood vessels of our cerebral organs are seldom un- loaded.

Inhuence Of Science on Religion.

Inhuence or Science Religion.
 Herbert spsncer in Popular Silence Monthly for January.]
 While the beliefs to which analytic science thus leads are such as do not destroy the ob- jeot-matter of religion, but simply transfRure it, science under it's concrete forms enlarges the sphere for religious sentiment. From the very beginning the progress of knowl- edge has been accompanied by an increasing capacity for wonder. Among savages, the lowest are the least surprised when shown remarkable products of civilized art, aston ishing the traveller by their indifference. And so little of the marvellous do they per- oeive in the grandest phenomena of nature that any inquiries concerning them they re- gard as childish trifing This contrast in mental attitude between the lowest human beings and the higher human beings around us is paralleled by the contrasts among the grades of these higher human beings them selves. It is not the rustic, nor the artisan, nor the trader, who sees something more than mere matter of course in the matching of g chick; but it is the biologist, who, pushing to the uttermost his analysis of vital phenomena, reaches his greatest perplsxity when speck of protoplssm under the mi croscope shows him life in it's simplest form, and makes him feel that however he formu- lates it's processes the actual play of forces remains unimaginable. Neither in the ordi- nary tourist nor in the deer-stelker climbing 
 glen rouse ideas beyond those of sport or of the picturesque; but it may, and often does, in the geologist. He, observing that the Rlacier-rounded rock he sits on has lost by Weathering but half an inch of it's surface sincs time far more remote than the begin nings of human civilization. and then trying to conceive the slow denadation which has cut out the whole valley, has thoughts of time and of power to which they are stran- gers-thoughts which, already utterly inade- quate to their objects, he feels to be still more futile on noting the contorted beds of gneiss around, which tell him of time, inn measurabiy more remote, when far beneath the earth's surface they were in half melted state, and again tell him of time, immense ly exceeding this in remoteness, when their components were sand and mud on the shores of an ancient sea. Nor is it in the primitive peoples who supposed that the heavens rest ed on the mountain-tops, any more than in the modern interiors of their cosmogony who repeat that ''the heavens declare the glory of God" that we find the largest con- captions of the universe or the greatest amount of wonder excited by contemplation of it. Rather, 1t is in the astronomer, who sees in the sun 8 mass so vast that even into one of his spots our earth might be plunged without touching it's edges and who by eve- ry finer telescope is shown an increased mul- titude of such suns, many of them far lar ger
 This life is foo full of work, of duty and of pleasure to be wasted. But everybody don't think so, or they would not trif1e with cold, or cough, when Dr. Bulls Cough Syrup, the only reliable remedy, can be procured for 25 cents

SHE SAID AND SHE DID.

'tI will never narry," she said-shs ssid- |" Unless young man that just suits me find; Taller than by at least half head He surely must be, with face bright and kind; His eyes I'd prefer of a violet blue, His hair light brown or very warm gold; He aust sing-a fine tenor-and dance nicely, too, And tell az good stories were told. No smoking allowed, for the weed detest. And of course remarks that rpde or i1I6red, And I'd like him always to be stylishly dressed, The young man marry" she Said-she said. And then the maid married-she did-ehe did A three-score old fellow much shorter than she, Who wore black wig that but awkwsrdly hid pate that no balder could possibly be- And his voice 8 creak and he danced like bear, And his nose 1t was red, snd dull gray were his eyes, And he'd sit by the h 7ur and stupidly stare. And he never said anything witty wise. And lhe smoked clay pipe, and from morning till night
 In his mouth held o, strongest tobacco quid; And he dreEssd-but, enough, he had two millions quite,
 And she married him gladly--she did-she did.

A professor at the University of Pavia has published statistical account of the comparative mortality of European armies, from which it appears that in the Prussian armies in 6ime of peace 57 in every 10000 soldiers die annually, in the English s4, in the French 92, in the Austrian 112, and in the Italian 116. The low rate in Prussia is the more remarkable inasmuch as 8 considerable number of the deaths in her armies are sui cidss. The professor points out the curious anomaly that the rate of mortality among soldiers of the different countries is in in- verse proportion to the rate of mortality among the civilians of those countries. Of course French, and more especially English, soldiers are constantly stationed in unhealthy colonies, a risk which German soldiers are spared; but this is not thought to be suff- cisnt to justify the discrepancy, and it must be inferred that the German soldiers are bet ter cared for.
