MOnthly Report in National Finances.

The government fiscal year closed on the
Both of June, and the public debt statement
shows a reduction of $101 ,000, 900, against a
reduction of $13S, OOO, 900 during the previous
year ending June 80, 1885. An examination of
The interest-bearing debt shows, however, that
the actual reduction during the year has been
nearly $116, 600, 900, which represents a per-
manent annual saving in the interest account
Of over three and a quarter million.
The gold coin and gold bullion found is now
nearly $2O5, OOO, OOO, an increase since June l of
about SO, 900, 900. While, however, this fund
shows an increase of SO, 600. 900 for the month.
there has been a decrease in the amount of gold
owned by the treasury of S4,3OO,0O0. The out
standing gold certificates having increased
since June l $12, 000, 900; the amount of these
certifi 1ates now outstanding is over $40, 000,-

treasury not covered by certificates in S133,-

The amount of bonds now held to secure ma
lonal bank circulation is 1854, OO0,O 600, against

sage of the revenue bill then pending would
work a reduction of about $40, 200. 900 per an

Salem and Hawthorne.

Correspondence of the Detroit Times.
What a charming old town is Salient
Witch hill stands bleak and bare. un-
adorned by the modern Queen Anne
cottages, or the mansions of the wealthy
who are seeking out all the hill tops
around Boston for their hOmesteads.
The old witch house is as it ever was.
I never go to Salem but I fancy that
Hawthorne, with his distracted look
and dreamy eyes, will come around the
next corner. Salem is still intensely
proud and aristocratic. 1t is one of the
old sea ports of the state where none
does not rule the roost. In Salem fam
lily is more than ducats. A young girl
with a good lineage can marry into the
richest families. And it is the same
with the young men of old Salem blood.
Blood tells in Salem. The city is full
of those commodious old brick houses,
perfectly square, with generous halls
and great spacious chambers. The old
East India merchants built them
when Salem wharves were lined with
Calcutta clippers and the wares of Bonn
bay and Madras were lying in the
By vi AOuoCo Ou blt hdbCI lIOuB.
There is a splendid museum there and
many odd things to see. Salem is now
noted for its science. 1t has societies
which study bugs and animals and the
fishes in the sea. 1t is the city of polite
manners, of common courtesies on the
street, and of the prettiest maidens in
all New England. Every Salem CIR
is born beautiful. The young bache-
Tors of the west should come to Salem
for their wives. These demure grey
and brOwn-eyed beauties you see trip
ping along Salem streets are sup" in all
the ologies, for education is a passion
in Salem, and they all know how to
cook and superintend households, forin
Salem it is still held that a young girl
should not only know how to speak
French and play the piano, but should
be able to mend stockings and bake
good, sweet bread. I am not fattering
this lovely old town and its l%ovelier maid
This is the solidest truth I have
asked to have put into printers ink for
a year at least.

Judges and Jurymen," is the title
of an able paper in the North Ameri-
can Review for July, from the pen oil
Judge Pitman CT the superior court
of Massachusetts,. Trial by jury,
he thinks, is not yet outgrown,
though murmurs against it are heard
more frequently of late than formerly.
1t has had great value as an educational
influence. As de Tocqueville says at
teaches men to practice equity; every
man learns to judge his neighbor as he
would himself be judged, and this is the
soundest preparation for free institu-
tion." He gives some leading features
of jury Judgment which he thinks are
liable to be more correct than the iudo-
ment ofajudge. Active and busy men of
various occupations are clearly better
qualified to decide what an average
man would do than a single Judge of
~sedentary pursuits, accustomed to re-
Election and caution, can be. One OBJ
lection to compelling the court
to try questions of fact would be
that, as Judge PItman thinks, it
would impair the confidence
of litigants in its impartiality.
The judge in deciding questions d
law speaks from superior knowledge,
and the itigants accept his Judgment as
probably sound and as subject to cor
rection if wrong, by the highest court,
but in deciding questions of fact he must
come to conclusions upon matters in re-
gard to which the laity think themselves
as well informed and as competent to
form a judgment as he, and an opinion
which they think wrong they would too
readily ascribeto partially orprejudice.
Juries being necessary, Judge Pitman
thinks they can be greatly improved by
more care in their selection, their own
treatment in various respects, and the
removal of the requirements of unanim-
ity in civil cases. The Judge thinks
that the agreement of three-fourths of
the jury, with the approval of the court,
ought to be sufficient in civil cases, and
in this opinion, as in his other sugges-
tions, the public will agree with him,
while they will most strenuously oppose
the clamor of thoughtless journalists
for the abolition of the jury system.

Cyclone in the Black Hills.

A cyclone swept over the valley eight miles
north of this city at 4 o'clock Sunday doing
great damage. Horses and outbuildings were
swept from the face of the earth, fences wiped
out, great fields of grain pounded deep into
the ground, stock killed and manned, in short
the desolation was rendered complete. Mr..
Boomers house, occupied by Mr.. Boomer and
two men named Merritt, was wrecked. Joe
Arnolds house was wiped out. Andrew Bar
retts residence was badly damaged. Two
horses and a number Of stock were Killed. L.
A Searnight's house, with contents, was utter
ly destroyed. A quantity of stock was killed
outright. Mrs, JOIN Mcleod was cut upon
the head by flying timbers. McNeal's house
was demolished and much stock killed. The
storm proceeded toward Red Water and False
Bottom. 1t continued for about fifteen min
utes.

Paris Gable: Dispatches from Toulon and
Marseilles tell a deplorable story of panic and
distress about cholera, which is far from be-
ing on the decline in either city. The mortali-
ty in both is increasing. In consequence of
the panic and the exodus, business is at a
stand-still, and the usually busy water front
seems deserted, and vessels arriving are warned
of, and where cargoes are to be unloaded
hands are secured with difficulty. Atthe office
of project of police it was learned that sixty
five new cases had been taken to the hospital
and that nine deaths had occurred. At Mar
settles fifteen deaths from cholera took
place recently, and CONSERVATION is on every
face. Business is confined to the most neces-
sary purchases. The prices of the necessaries
of life are rising, while the money supply
among the the poor is almost cut of. The
authorities have reported these facts to the
government here, and state that unless there
Is some mitigation of the panic they will be
