A Washington dispatch of the 18th says
the First Comptroller of the Treasury has
adopted the principle that no claim can be
paid to a State or person so long as there
remains on the books of the Government
an unsettled balance against the State or
person. Accordingly he rules that in the
claim of the State of Georgia for moneys
expended in the revolutionary war, the
amount Of direct tax uncollected on the
Treasury books against Georgia is to be
regarded as an Offset. This action Of the
controlling officer will do much to nullify
the special relief bills which have been
passed in several instances on account of
old claims.

A Train in a Tempest.
[Cor. New York Tribune.l

AS our train approached Cheyenne it
ran into the rear of one of those singu-
lar storms that have this year frequent
ly visited the always heretofore great,
dry plains, to the wonder and prophetic
disquietude of the ubiquitous oldest in
habitant. At 1920 A. M. the sun was
shining brightly. At 10:45 the sky be-
came cloudy and few drops of rain pat
tered on the car roof. at 1850 we were
in the clutch of the hurricane. A low
moaning filled the place of sound for a
moment, and then came the shrek of
furious elements, tearing the heavens
asunder to make way for the black del
uge of water. The cars trembled and
rocked as though about to leave the
rails. The sense of progress WAS en-
tirely lost. The train seemed to stand
still while the cataracts hurled them
selves against it. 1t was impossible to
see a hands breadth from the windows.
The floods pried open every crack and
Granny and dripped In sullen drops from
sides and roof. Women sat mute and
pale, children cried, and men furtively
sought courage from pocket TASKS, and
tried to look brave and indifferent. We

utes, and then it left us as suddenly as
it came. But what a deluge! The
broad, fiat prairies looked like a great
ocean, dotted with innumerable little
islands, while muddy torrents took adj
vantage of the slightest channel, and
flowed in every direction. The engine
stopped, started ahead, stopped again,
and then backed and stood still. And
here, right in the middle of the broad,
level plains, miles from any stream, was
a wash-out. The fields of water had
found a depression in the road-bed and
drowned the track. The undermined
rails were hastily bolstered up with
some loose ties, and we carefully picked
our way into cheyenne. =

A Too Solvent State Treasury.

A letter from Austin, Tex, says: The
cash balance in the state treasury on the
LIST of July amounts to So, O51, 742. 81.
This is the largest it has ever
been of this amount $500, O99.24 is to
the credit of the general revenue, that
is, money now in the treasury available
for support of the state government.
leaving So, 242, 642.97to credit of special
funds. This latter amount, under the
present constitution, can be invested
only in United Stated or state bonds,
but, if the supposed amendment be
adopted, it can be invested in United
States, state, or county bonds, and in
such other securities as the legislature
may elect. In addition to the amount
the state will have for investment by the
time the amendment is adopted, say 49,
500, 900, the different counties of the
state will have approximately as much
more, making in round numbers S., 900, =
600 in actual cash on hand seeking pro-
ftable investment. The question now
agitating the state inanciers is, where
such investment can be made with ad-
vantage to the state and counties. The
money is now idle in the treasury vaults,
and the possibility of securing some In
come from the vast sum is one of the
benefits to accrue from the adoption of
the amendment permitting such invest
ment.

Where to see the Great Trotters of New
York,
Cincinnati Times Star.


No two men in America have had
more experience with fine trotting- stock,
and none are better judges than Calvin
M. Priest, of the New York Club Sta
bles, 28th street near Fifth avenue, and
Dan Mace, of the Excelsior Stables,
West 29th street, New York, the cham
pion double-team driver of the United
States. Both of these gentlemen say,
that for painful ailments in horses, such
as cuts, bruises, swellings, Iameness,
stiffness, st. Jacobs Oil is superior to
anything they have ever used or heard
of. This is also the opinion of Prof.
David ..Robarge, the celebrated horse
sheer of the metropolis, and thousands
of stock-owners throughout the country.
As pain cure for man and beast St.
Jacobs OIL has no equal. Mr.. Priest re-
cites the case of valuable trotter, so
stiff from rheumatism, that he could not
move an inch. By one thorough ap-
pIication of St. Jacobs Oil at night, the
animal was completely cured, and was
fit for the race-track the next day.

publishing-the cheap press, my son, is
our standby. The first thing is to get
book to publish. The most important
part of the book Is the name. Some.
thing like Ten Thousand Hints for
Farmers, or Information for Common
People, is what you want. The books
can be compiled from the. hundred and
one similar works by legitimate authors
which have gone before 1t. Having the
name and the compiled volume, we take
the manuscript to some rat printing Of

tonished to see what large bound book

them on the shelf or in the box they do
not look at all bad. Iae paper is soft.

business. The printing we usually pay
for; it takes too much time to hunt up
new printing offices. To get rid of our
stock, which we always call our fifth

traveller and an assistant. You would
call the traveller a steerer In less digni-
fed business. He is q gentleman, every

world, of the farming community, of
human nature in general. He also has
suave manner and a little cash. He
seeks the village hotel and gains the &C.
quaintance of the crowd that gathers
there. Among them he fluids the man of
wealth who thinks he knows a good
thing when he sees 1t. The man of
wealth is cautious; the commercial
traveller has discounted that in advance.
We do rot wish to sell our books to him
for cash; we want to introduce them; we
want man of influence to look after our
interests in that town. Our book is ex-
hibited to him, and it is explained to
him just how easy it viii be to shove the
book on his innocent and confding
neighbors at So a volume. To him the
price will be fifty per cent. off. To start

Small the portion of the dwellers
In the garrets and the cellars,

Daily pine away and perish.
