Disannearanee Of raner Money.

It is evident that when the national
debt is finally paid off the United
States will be found to be large gamer
through the destruction of its paper
promises to pay. Every month the
debt on which interest has ceased, and
for which no one claims payment, in
creases, until there is now lying in the
treasury nearly $11,000,000 of IN
claimed principal and interest, which
has accrued at various dates from 1887
and earlier down to Dec %, 1882. Of
the $40, ,000,000 of fractional paper cur
rency issued during and since the war
$15, 1856, $40 are still outstanding and
redemptions have almost ceased. By
an act of Congress, passed in 1879,
IS, ,375, ,934, which it was estimated had
been DESTROYED, were declared cancelled
and entered as paid on the treasury
books. 4 more correct estimate CT fhe
Government gain from this source would
have been $15, GOO, ,G00, OF more than SO
per cent. Of the amount issued. pae
Government gain on the $346, 900, ,000

very large, though a much smaller per-
centage than in the case Of fractional
currency. where the wear and tear were
very great Whether the Government
or the banks viii eventually receive the
benefit arising from lost and destroyed

determined, but it seems reasonable
that for the currency lost while in the
possession of the people the people
themselves, through the Government
should receive what benefit shall finally
accrue on account of this destruction

twill Ever Be So.

Nearly all the great statesmen of the
present day can look back to the time
when they would rather stand in the
mud and water up to their knees and
fish for bull-heads than help plant po-
tatoes in the best garden in the coun-
try. Even the best kind of boy, who
is willing to work like major at any
other season of the year, seems to have
a fearful falling out with all manner of
labor in the spring. But somehow the
spring garden is made each year, and
the boy grows up to manhood, and
finally has boy of his own, and a
garden that demands attention; then it
seems that when he wants his boy to
help in the garden, and fifteen min
utes later finds him in the street play
ing marbles, he forgets how it was when
he was hoy himself, and he argues
with his boy with hoe-handle. 'Twas
ever thus.-Pech'S sam.

Serpents. Tigers and Ieonards.

Some one in France has followed up
the recent statistics concerning wild
beasts and snakes in India, with further
particulars. He says that as many as
10000 deaths occur annually in India
from snake-bites, and that since 1870
from 5000 to 100000 persons have
perished in this way. India possesses
more deadly snakes than any other
country. In 1880 212,776 serpents of
all kinds were destroyed, and rewards,
amounting in all to IL, ,663 rupees, were
paid to their destroyers. In 1881 wild
beasts caused the death of 2,757 per-
sons, as against 2,81O in 1880, and the
number of animals killed by them is
enormous. Leopards are, he thinks,
the farmers worst foes, and tigers rank
next, but the wolves are but little less
destructive. In 1881 1,557 tigers and
3, 397 leopards were killed.

BILLNYE'S NEW VERSION.

The Guest Without Wedding Garment.
[From the Laramie Boomerang.l
1t came to pass that q certain rail-
road man sent forth his servants to call
them that were hidden to the wedding.
and they would not come.
Again he sent forth other servants.
saying, behold, I have killed the old
hen and prepared the wedding dinner
and opened keg of nails and all
things are ready for the blowout.
But they made hight of it and went
their ways, one to his farm, another to
his drug store, and another to his grist-
mill and another took the servants and
treated them spitefullv, and put tin
ear on them, and frescoed them with
Michael Angelo eggs.
Bat when the railroad king heard of
1t he bounced the entire outfit and shut
off their passes and raised their freight
tariff and busted them up in their bust
ness and smote them sore on the gable
end OF their intellects and made it red
hot foi them.
Then he said unto his servants, the
wedding is ready, but they which are
hidden are not worthy.
Go We, therefore, down the side
track and into the round-house and the
water-tank and the cabooses and the
gravel-trains and gather together as
many as We shall find and tell them to
come over to the wedding feast and fill
themselves up.
And the servants went forth and
rounded up as many as they could find,

the feast.
And when the King went into the re-
ception room he found there man who
had not on a spike tail coat and low
necked shoes and clocked socks.
And he said to him: "Pardner, how
cometh it that thou art here without
any stOre-clothes on, and wearing in
stead q linen duster and jim-crow rai-
ment generally"
And the man was at first speechless,
but he answered yet again:
"Oh. railroad king! live forever.
know that [ am here without a wedding
garment; but behold, 1 am O conductor
on thy line, and [ have reformed, and
have ceased to knock down; and be-
hold thy servant is poor, and he is try
ing to live on his salary"
And the king was wroth, and told the
usher to gather him in and take him by
the slack Of his raiment and to cast him
over the outer wall, and there was weep
ing and gnashing of teeth.
And, while the wedding guests made
merry and whooped it up, the man who
was cast out did steal around and be-
come solid with the cook, and filled
himself up with the wedding feast on
the sly.
And it came to pass that when he had
eaten of the fatted calf and the wedding
cake, and absorbed all the champagne
that he could carry away, he crawled
into the NOW and slept till the cock
crew.
And when the morning was come, he
journeyed over the railroad track to-
ward Salt Lake; for behold he was a
tramp.

"A ladder about twenty feet long was
Gaming against building on Michigan
avenue the other day, and at the top of
the ladder was boy. A Polack woman
came along with cart full of wood and
the boy cried out:
''Hey! old woman, where's your lace
collarp"
She looked up at him and shook her
fist, and he continues: "It's too bad
yer sex prevents ye from climbing a
ladder"
Then something occurred which the
boy had not provided against. The
woman approached the ladder, seized
the foot of it and backed off, and the
way the boy and the ladder came scrap
ing down made every bristle on his
head stand erect. He tumbled off into
an ash-heap, received couple of kicks
from her broad foot, and as she continu-
ed her journey he sat up and spat out
the ashes and remarked to himself:
"Well, now, there one or two things
l didn't know of, after all!''-Detroit

Gently, says the New York Tribune, a
lady on the sidewalk noticed that one of
the horses was in great pain from a
CALLED shoulder. She stopped the car,
and calling the drivers attention to the
sore spot, asked him not to drive the un-
happy beast any further. The man at
tempted to drive on, but the lady sprang
in front of the horses and declared she
would be run over before the car should
proceed. Of course, crowd gathered,
and in its wake came policeman, who
endeavored to effect a compromise; but
the lady refused to bulge, and finally
the officer ordered the driver to unhar-
ness the horses then and there. Having
accomplished her original purpose, the
humanitarian turned her attention to
her own rights, and caused both driver
and conductor to be arrested for at
tempting to push her from the track.
AS the party moved off toward the po-
lice station a crowd of 500 persons
cheered vociferously.

Aftar the Coronation.

At last the much dreaded but highly
necessary ceremony is over. The
soldiery have discharged their musketry,
the detectives their duty, the Car has
been safely crowned, and Moscow Is at
rest The nihilists have packedup their
dynamite and moved to St. Petersburg,
and the car and czarina, in the retire.
ment Of their royal iron-clad bed-cham-
her, have been engaged in delightful
~ peaceful discussion Of the grand event
IN which they have been the central
figures.
'.And now, DEAR" said the czarina,
yawning, and kicking off gold mount
ed slipper, don't you think you had bet
ter take off your things?"
"Na-a-w, 1 don't, and the czar tilted
his crown little further on to his ear
and staggered around the room, flirt-
ing the tail of his coronation robe in
particularly aggravating manner.
siDon't be a fool, Aleck," snapped
the czarina.
81 tell you / amt going to take this
crown of, nor amt going to take this
robe off, neither, until get ready. I'm
the czar of all the Russias, am, and II
Iwant to go to bed with them on / can
do it, and don't you forget it. !"
This outburst of independence COM
pletely dumbfounded the czarina, and
She had not word to say as she con-
tinued to divest herself of several mil
lion dollars worth of jewelry and ex-
pensive and highly perfumed clothes,
but there was an ominous glitter in her
eye that betokened anything but sub
mission.
81 want you to understand that. You
yes, youm continued the czar, a little
frightened at his own boldness and daz-
ed by his wife's unaccountable silence.
Then observing no signs of revolt, he
added, "T've been so bothered about
business here of late that I've allowed
you to do pretty much as you pleased,
but now that I've got this crowning af-
fair off my mind, / propose to run this
establishment on a new and improved
plan," and the czar wheeled around in
front of pier glass and viewed himself
with self-satisfied smirk.
By this time the czarina had got down
to her fighting clothes, and she sudden
ly confronted the car with a look that
Alexander had learned to respect and
which startled him to such an extent that
his highly priced crown toppled off and
rolled under the bed.
"You've allowed ne-you're going to
run this establishment" shrieked the
czarina. Come out of that robe, do
you hearP"
The czar of all the Russias hastily dis
robed.
"Leave that crown alone!" she yelled
as the trembling man attempted to crawl
under the bed.
II was only going to get it for you,"
said the wretched monarch.
''Never you mind about getting it for
me; you 60 to bed and I'll tend to the
crown"
Needless to say that Alexander the
Third retired Immediately, and before the
czarina was through with him that night
he would have bartered his kingdom
cheerfully for quiet corner in one of his
own Siberian mines; the terrors of dyna-
mite were double discounted.-Cin. Sat.
