We call attention to the fact that it is about four years and half since those cells were built. There seems to have been no report made of this mon ey to any one.
 Extracts from Commissioner Buffum's testimony:
 "I never knew how much the United States paid for board of its prisoners, and never received d dollar of the money from the government. I received money from Alexander three different times, amounting to four hun dred dollars each time, or twelve hunered dollars altogether, and turned it over to General Butler, treasurer of the territory. Inev- CT used dollar of this money for building of cells or any other purpose. l know nothing of the money paid to Alexander by the for board of its pris- oners, and never could find out anything about it."
 Isaac Levy, clerk for Lyons, of Yuma, while under oath, gave Us some memoranda taken from Lyons' books of United States checks cashed for H. N. Alex ander, drawn in his name as secretary of the prison board. amounting to the sum of $l ,704,3. He states that most of this mon- ey Was paid to Alexander in cash and part placed to his credit on private account. You will obSer- We the discrepancy in testimony.
 We also discovered that quite sum of money was realized from prison labor, which is unaccount- ed for except as to portion of it. That portion, under the testi- mOny, it seems Was expended for tobaccco, vegetables and other expenses for the pri- soners. No report of this money was ever made to the board of prison commissioner.

 We find that about 35 ,OOO feet of lumber have been consumed out of the appropriation of twen- ty thousand dollars, in the con structiOn of the tank and build ings. This is a liberal estimate.
 here is enough now oa hand to build nine cells which are now in the process of construction.
 The following is an abstract from Commissioner Buffu ms testimony.
 "I was not aware but what the minutes of the Board Were being properly kept by the secretary, and supposed the resolution ap- pointing the construction con- rnittee was matter of reGOrt lid gat think is was cOrre.E l-r Nr.

MT. Alexander was never authorized by me to Dur' chase articles for construction under the special appropriation, and l did not agree to give him a commission on any purchase .. He was dismissed as secretary of the board for Irregularities in the purchase of lumber for the prison. After his dis missal I received letter from him bear ing date NOvemb Der II, 1882 noti- flying me that there Was an amount of lumber or money with Perry, Woodwork & Go. to the credit of the board. Of this I had no knowledge whatever prior to the receipt of this letter."
 From testimony in the con- mittee's hands we find that S1,, 363 94 was returned by Perry, Woodworth & Co. to Wm. M. Buffum, who accounts for same in report to the Governor, dated January 10, 1883, but there is no testimony in the committees hands showing what amount was in the hands Of Perry, Wood worth & Co. to the credit of the board, supposed to have been paid them by Alexander.
 The testimony of T, J. Butler, Treasurer, coroborateS the state ment of Wm. M. Buffum as to the deposit of money for the board of United States prisoners in three amounts, the total of which was S1,335.75, and one amount of $436.56 sent direct by Alexander to the Treasury, mak- ing a total of $1,772 g. This is all the money your committee can find that the board has ever for of all the moneys received by them from the gov for the board of United States prisoners, amounting to s9, ,4i0.023.

ONE ARM AND ONE LEG.
4 ColOred VI an who Earns His Living
with Only Two Limbs.

Camden Daily Post.
/ One of the most remarkable men IN
Camden is one-legged and one earned
colored man named James Weeks, re-
siding at Ferry road and Harley street
in the Eight ward. He is strong,
healthy man of about forty-eight years
of age, and evidently enjoys life as
mach as his more fortunate and ply
sically supplied brethren. The strange
part of the thing is that, although both
his left leg and left arm are entirely
gone-they having been taking out at
the sockets-he Is able to drive g. cart,
loading the vehicle as quickly and az,
well as those who have all their limbs,
with sand or brick, aud doing fully as
much work as any cart driver in the
city. Some time ago he was lamp
lighter, performing his work in a man
ner satisfac torily to his employers. So
well has he piled his business Of cart
driving that he has accumulated quite
a property, both in horses and carts and
in real estate.
He was met yesterday afternoon by
a Post reporter, sitting on the side of his
cart, whistling as gaily and apparently
as happy as any man III Camden.
When asked how it came to loose his
limbs, he showed his worries as a broad
grin spread over his rather generous
mouth, and said: ode war took 'em
off. You see, boss, was shot down at
Port Hudson. I laid dar for hour arter
hour, and finked l, Jim you're cooked

Kisses ON Interest.

A father talking to his careless daugb-
,et said: 81 want to speak to you OF
your mother. 1t may be that you
have noticed a careworn look upon
her face lately. OF course it has not
been brough there by any act of yours,
still it is your duty to chase it away. l
want you to get up tomorrow morning
and get breakfast, and when your
mother comes and begins to express
her surprise go right up to her and kiss
her on the mouth. You can't imagine
how it will brighten her dear face.
Besides, you owe her a kiss or two.
Away back, when you were a little
girl, she kissed you when no one else
was tempted by your fever-tsinted
breath and swollen face. You were
not as attractive then as you are now.
And through those years of childish
sunshine and shadows she was always
ready to cure, by the magic of moth
er's kiss, the little, dirty. chubby hands
whenever they were injured by those
first rough skirmishes with the rough
old world. And then the midnight
kiss with which she routed so many
bad dreams, as she leaned over your
restless pillow, have all been on interest
these long, long years. OF course she
is not so pretty and kissable as you are;
but if you had done your share of work
during the last ten years, the contrast
would not be so marked. Her face
has more wrinkles than yours, far
more; and yet if you were sick that
face would appear more beautiful than
an angels, as it lowered over you,
watching every opportunity to minis.
ter to your comfort, and every one of
those Wrinkles would seem to be bright
wavelets of sunshine chasing each other
over the dear face. She will leave you
one of these days. These burdens, if
not lifted from her shoulders, will
break her down. Those rough, hard
hands that have done SO many neces-
sary things for you will be crossed
upon her lifeless breast. Those neg
lected lips that gave you your first
baby kiss will be forever closed, and
those sad, tired eyes will have opened
in eternity, and then you will appreci-
ate your mother, but it will be too late

out afterward- they cannot be
happy together. = broken engage
ment is very sad thing, particularly
for the lady; but it is rot half so dread
full as an uncongenial marriage. While
y msn is pretendant he may seem
very agreeable to woman. Even at
ter he has made his offer and been &C
cepted, he may seem very attractive,
BUT the close intimacy of courtship
may prove TO her that she has been
wholly mistaken in her own preference.
Or a man may grow out of love and
ask to be released. Under these cir
cumstances no person OF delicacy or
homer would be allowed by his or her
conscience to continue an engagement.
Let q man OF woman invoke In these
crisis all the good sense and good feel
ing which exist and strive to do last
ing good at the cost of q present I'M
happiness.
A lady should, however, be extreme
ly guarded during her engagement in
her manner; toward other men. She
should not correspond with them, nor
permit those attentions which, as a
belle or an affianced girl, we're her
right. She must avoid even the ap-
pearance of coquetry, while lover
should avoid all display of jealousy and
all airs of mastership. He is In most
delicate position. He must not be IN
duly familiar in the family of his fan
Gee; he must testify interest without
claiming a place; he must be devoted
| and not familiar, and remember al
ways that ne is petitioner and on his
good behavior. He is asking the lady
for her liberty, ker obedience, her life.
With her it is far more important
concession than with him, for, if she
does not make him happy he can en-
ploy himself in business and with pleas
ure; but with her, if he does not make
her happy, who will She cannot find
her happiness elsewhere than at home.
If she seeks it elsewhere she is lost.
Nothing can be so foolish as to leave
out of question the ''matter of money"
even if, as we hope, it is sometimes
not the only one in our practical age.
A woman's money should be settled
en- herself, in the care of trustees, be-
end the risks of business. It is not a
way of cheating ones creditors; for II
man has no power over his wlfe,s
money, certainly those who do bust
ness with him can find that out. And
men should have their lives insured be-
fore marriage for the benefit Of the
coming wife, and this should rever be
allowed to lapse.

An Epidemic of Fires.
Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin.

Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin.
The ''year of the plague" will never
be erased from Egyptian history, the
"day of Pentecost" will always be con.
spicuous in the records of Palestine,
the descendants of Alaric always dated
their events from the sacking of Rome,
and it begins to look as if the future
historian and the world might date ev-
erything from 1888, as the year of fire.
Thus far there have occurred in this
state the Friend Brothers fire, the par
tial burning of the Milwaukee Hide
and Leather Company's tannery, and
the destruction of the Newhall house,
in Milwaukee; the leveling of the Rus
sell house and other buildings at Nee
nan, and 7. G. Mandt's great carriage
works at Stoughton. The property
will probably aggregate $3.50 600 or
500 600, and that of life, besides which
all material destruction palss into in
significance, will reach the appalling
number of so to 100 souls.
But this unparalleled prevalence of
fire is not confined to Wisconsin for
the present year. Three or more per-
sons were burned yesterday in st.
Louis, several vast mills were recently
destroy ed at Cohoes, n. Y, number
of lives have been destroyed by fire in
Pennsylvania, burning mine on the
Pacific slope caused a great loss of both
life and property, ship with many
lives on W as burned at sea, for fifteen
days nearly a score of lesser fires have
been reported daily, and now, to crown
this stupendous pyramid of death and
destruction, 500 souls have persisted in
circus confagration at Berdeschev,
Russian Poland.
This epidemic of fame, this terrific
'tscourge of fire and smoke" must
arouse startling trains of thought and
cause people 70 wonder what viii come
next, and whether these numberless
fires at this time are mere coinci-
dences.

CAUSE FOR APPREHENSION.
Why Mysterious Physical Troubles Arouse Spe-
eial Dread---A Professional Exnnrience.

Few things give more pain than dread
or apprehension. Most people are able
to face apparent danger heroically. but
the sudden and unexpected coming of
some indefinite calamity very naturally
strikes terror to even the bravest For
this reason lightning and tornadoes are
considered terrible; their coming and go-
ing are so sudden, unannounced and I'M
known. For this same reason an I'M
known disease, some poison in the blood,
some malady that is gradually under
mining the life is specially dreaded by ali
thinking people. And, indeed, there art
good reasons for such dread, for modern
science has discovered that some viru.
lent disorders show the least signs in
their beginnings. while they have the
worst possible symptoms We know Of
many persons who have dull and uncer-
tain pains in various portions of the body
who are unnaturally tired one day and
apparently well the next; who have an
enormous appetite at times and loath-
ing of food soon thereafter. Such per-
sons are really in dangerous condition,
even though they may not realize it.
The following statement of a most
prominent physician, who has had unu-
sual opportunities for Investigations is of
so striking and important nature that ii
will be read with interest by all
