THE NAVY.

EXPENDITURES FOR FOOD AND CLOTHING.
The report of J. A. Smith, Paymaster Gen.
eral of the United States navy, Chief of the
Bureau for Provisions and Clothing, shows
that the expenditures for provisions during
the year amounted to 81 200, 959. The amount
expended by pay officers abroad was 1864 $50;
expended by the bureau, S213,gl8. There is a
deficiency for provisions amounting TO S173,-
9S7. The total expenditures on account of
clothing were S2l5,141, leaving n balance of
S344, $3.50. The total amount expended on ac-
count Of small stores was So $685. leaving
balance of Sl27,050. The amount expended
for contingencies was SlS,549, leaving bal
ance of S3l, $50. A comparison with previous
years shows Il rapid increase in payments for
committed rations.
Great Improvement has been made in the
clothing of the enlisted men of the navy UNI
der the present system of manufacture at the
New York navy yard. Changes are, however,
contemplated, with view of improving the
quality and reducing the cost OF the clothing.
An appropriation of 100000 is asked for the
payment of freight on stores. The estimates
for the next fiscal year include SlS5S0 on ac-
count of salaries for clerks; S1l00 for mis-
cellaneous expenses; Sl204 $50 for commuted
rations of LOO officers; Sls0,675 for commut-
ed rations of 1850 men and boys; s2l,g00 for
committed rations of 200 marines; SS16,015
for rations for 400 men, boys and marines
and other expenses; 100000 for freight on
shipments, and SEAL for expenses of the
civil establishment.
CONSTRUCTION AND REPAIR.
The Chief of the Bureau of Construction
and Repair, in his annual report to the Sec
rotary of the Navy, estimates that 100000
will be necessary to complete the frigate
New York at the Brooklyn navy-yard and
the Mohican at Mare island. He recommends
that the Thilmany process for preserving
timber be adopted. A sufficient appropria-
ton should be made by Congress to purchase
shpbuilding material to put in stock. The
number of wooden vessels will be largely re-
duced under the operations of the act which
forbids the repair of any wooden vessel
of the navy when the repairs will cost more
than 20 per cent. of the appraised
value. 1t Is recommended that the
limit of repairs on wooden vessels be fixed mt
30 per cent. OF the cost of n new vessel of
like size and materials, unless Congress may
see fit to replace them by iron or steel vessels.
Since the passage of the act in operation, re-
pairs on the following named vessels have
had To be abandoned: Alaska, Mouongahela,
Plymouth and Ticonderoga. All of these
pairing. The same act will sacrifice the Rich
mond and Pensacola. The limit for the
existence OF the Minnesota Is fixed at eighteen
months. The Colorado Is TO be placed I'm ordi-
nary, ana the Vermont fitted as "A receiving
ship. The Tennessee will not last longer than
twelve months. The training-vcssels Sara
toga, Portsmouth, and jamestown will soon
have to he abandoned under the present law.

To THE long catalogue of ills that
flesh is heir to, an English doctor has
added a new disease which he calls
exam fever" and which he says is de-
veloped by the severe strain which boys
and girls undergo in competitive ex-
aminations The Social congress, be-
fore which the statement was made, has
resolved to memorabilia the Government
to take steps against its extension.

The Princess Beatrice, says the Chi
cago Daily Ne,CS, is still on the war
path for husband, but it begins to
look as if she were never going to be
blessed with that luxury. She is trifle
beyond 30, and has evinced penchant
for cats. When woman gets to be 30
years old her chances are slim, but the
further disadvantage of a growing pen
chant for cats does indeed hang her
domestic future in black. What, how
ever. would seem to determine that the
Princess is doomed to life of single
woe is her palpable anxiety to get mar
ried. As long as a girl evinces a dis
taste and expresses Discrimination to
matrimony there is reasonably much
hope for her-there is invariably some
su. ker somewhere who eventually feels
an ambition to make life burden for
her: but when she has lived beyond
that period of sweet, maidenly indiffer-
ence, and has blossomed out into the
condition of aimless yearning, the
chances of her getting husband can
only be determined by those algebraic
proces ses by which the value of un-
known quantities are determined.

FRED SHULTz, employed at the Peninsular
car shops, at Adrian, met with a terrible ac-
cident, by which he lost his right arm. Work.
men were hauling car out of a building up
a grade and shultz was under 1t looking after
something that was necessary; the rope broke
and let the car back. Shultz reached out to
draw himself from under the car, and the
wheel ran over his arm, literally pulverizing

glory is her hair, and Miss Close has no
hair. Her head, at the present writ
ing, bears striking resemblance to
cocoanut; not, mind you, through any
fault of her own, or through any neg
lect of nature, but through the care
lessness of a scalp-healer of her own
sex, who, seeing the hair, envied it,
perhaps, and finally compassed its ruin.
Miss Close went to this scalp-healer to
be shampooed. Her hair was long and
luxuriant, and enveloped her like veil
when "let down" and floating over her
shoulders. In the shampooing process
this wonderful hair became snarled,
and in the effort to disentangle it the
scalp-healer slyly clipped it here and
there, until finally, when the astonished
maiden looked up, she found large
quantities of the priceless tresses adorn-
ing the scalp-healer's table. She tried
the scalp-healer's art again, but the
final result was that she had to 90 TO a
barber and be clipped like carriage
horse, loosing her chief adornment and
throwing her into a state of mind which,
of course, untitled her for efficient duty
in the school-room. The girls Uttered
and the boys snickered when they saw
Miss Closes funny head, and her NOR
ification exceeded all bounds. She
finally concluded there was but one
balm for her shattered feelings and
wounded head, and that was plaster
of greenbacks. So she has brought
suit against the scalp-healer for
So, 900 damages.

Louisiana Rice CrOp.

New Orleans telegram: Reports from the
rice-growing parishes of Louisiana indicate
that the crop will be slightly increased yer
that of last year. The estimate is 2iO, 900
barrels. On account of light rice the yield
on many plantations fell short, but the quail
ty is of more than ordinary excellence.

1t is somewhat suggestive that while
only 1877, 1852 voters cared sufficient
about it to cast vote against the pro-
hibltion amendment, there were 234,-
435 who voted against Legislative regu-
lation of the traffic. OF the votes cast
for and against it, the prohibition
amendment received a majority of 1885,

not vote upon the question at all who de-
feated prohibition. These figures Will
afford valuable study for many classes
of people-for many men of many
minds, so to speak.

KAUFMAN.

KAUFMAN, March 31.-[Correspondence'I
Still it rains here, to the great annoyance
of the farmers, who are already badly
behind with their planting. Nothing brit
a seasonable summer can insure us good
corn crops Our people are beginning to
seriously discuss the question as to whether
or not it will be expedient to raise less
cotton and more meat and bread. 1t is bad
enough that the people OF our towns are
dependent upon Kansas and other western
states for flour, hams, lard, and in fact,
for nearly everything which supplies their
tables. These articles of daily consump-
ton, it would seem ought 10 be furnished
by our own farmers and the money kept
at home. The truth is, that not only our
town people, but considerable per cent,
of our farmers draw their supplies from the
same source. There is bad economy in
this. and our folks are beginning to realize
it., The practical result of our farming OPP
crations for the past few years has been TO
make other people richer and our own
poorer.
kaufman ought to be q good town even:
tually, being the county seat of fine
county, lying contiguous to Dallas, and
therefore convenient to your superior mar
ket facilities. 1t, however, takes something
more than natural advantages to make
money have something TO do with our des-
tiny. The public enterprise of our people
needs stimu alton. To instance point or
two: We have no Jail, at least not such u
one as the necessities of our county re-
quires. Our courthouse ought to be
substituted by new, commodious
and comfortable building. The present
wooden structure is wanting in sufficient
room, or comfort. Besides it is wooden
structure not insured, and liable to burn
with all the records Of the county. Suit
able and creditable public buildings are a
necessity, which our people will ere long
recognize and provide FOR.
kaufman is improving rapidly in the way
OF private buildings. Twenty new and com.
Portable residences have been erected since
the LIST of January. Three brick business
houses are under contract, and will be
erected as fast as the material can be laid on
the ground. Several others are in contem.
plation. A fine Touring mill will be erected
during the summer. Other substantial i'm
proyements will also be made.

Lesson IN CHARITY.

When the APOSTLE PAUL characterized
Charity as the greatest Of Christian grace'
be indicated a knowledge Of the human
heart far above that Of the men Of the
world generally. He indicated knowl.
edge Of the fact that TO exercise charity IN
thought as well as in action required a
crucif1ion Of the flesh and an abandon 10
the noblor impulses OF the heart that none
but those who have thrown OF the carnal
and put on the spiritual are capable Of.
Charity, In its broad sense does not mean
the giving Of a cup Of water 10 the thirsty,
or q meal 10 the hungry, but presupposes
an ebnegaiion Of self, a mastery Of the
souls selfish impulses that viii accord in
any given case the same rights and priv
ileges 10 another that we claim for our
selves, that will practically recognize. in
a word, the common brotherhood and
destiny Of man. Charity, in its fullest sig-
nIficance, deals with the political and re-
liRious worlds, as well az the physical.
How short the cominIs Of the world in this
particular, with ell he boosted Christianity
and civilization, those who mingle with IL

A Faithful wife.

On last evenings north-hound passenger
train over the Houston d. Texas Central
railway there were two passengers fresh
from the land OF the Montezumas, whose
hearts were ladened with sorrow. They were
Megal Sanchez and Annita Harris, nee
Gomez, who were en- route, as learned from
the first named, who spoke fair English,
from Monterey, Mexico, to Las Vegas, New
Mexico, TO see her truant American hus-
band, who deserted her about a year ago
and who was recently shot and dangerously
wounded in gambling den in that place.
In his distress be wrote hs wife his where
abouts, and Sanchez, who is her cousin,
after trying 10 dissuade her from going TO
him, at last consented to accompany her
on her journey. In broken English
he told the reporter that though her nus
band had most cruelty deserted her, yet
when she received the news Of his being
shot it preyed 30 on her mind that she was
wild to go to him. The woman could not
speak English. What she said was inter
preted by her cousin. She says that be
did not desert her, but that he started 10
his people in Maryland 10 get money left
him by deceased relative, but she evil
IDENTIFY did not know the geography of the
country, or was trying 10 shield him with q
~oman's story and a wife's love.

Every good thing has its host Of imita

feits. Bad manners and wicked habits
have theirs also; but be who shams the
bad never boasts Of it, while they who ape
the virtues Of the good or simulate the
genuine never hesitate to place the coun.
terfeit before the public in their most al

they claim TO be as good as "So-and-So, p"
