Analysis OF the Public Debt State
ment for December.

WASHINGTON, Special Telegram, Jan. p
The December debt statement issued to-day
shows q reduction of SILL, 743,3 3 for the
month"; large gain over last months de.
crease, when it amounted to only $1,721,-
676. 1t was much less, however, than the
reduction for December, 1882, when it
reached S15,4l3,222. The decrease for the
first half of the fiscal year, which closes with
December, foots up S53, O49,4S3, against
RSI ,37O,7S3 for the first six months Of
1882. If continued at the present rate, the
reduction for the entire fiscal year ending
June so, 1854, would be about $780, OO,-
900; but this is not a safe plan of estimate.
for although the first half of the last fiscal
year showed q reduction of over $751;
100000, the total decrease for the
fiscal year amounted to but $780,
823, 600. The estimate of the secretary
of the treasury for the current
fiscal year contemplates an appropriation OF
$45, SIG, 600 to the sinking fund, and q sur
plus revenue in addition of $3.50, 1873 900, q
total of some $50, GOO, 600, to be applied to
the extinguishment of the national debt; as
the first half of the year has yielded about
two-thirds of this amount, it is fair to expect
that the net surplus at the close of the year
will overrun the estimate somewhat. The
available cash balance on hand appears to be
$142, 10000, according to the statement.
This is not the actual fact, to-day, however,
for this morning the January fours and some
Pacific railroad, interest on which has te
be paid by the government, was taker
out of the cash to the amount of about
$S, 100000. So that in reality the available
cash is Town to about 1884, 600 600, or ove1
81, OOO, 900 below the usual 40 per cent re-
serve. The statement for December, 1882
showed an available cash balance on hanC
amounting to $149,O37,7 73. The receipt
for the six months closing with Decembe.
are of interest as showing the effect of the
new tariff law. They show that the falling
off has been about $2s, 500 900, indicating :
decrease for the year of $57, OOO. Tn
estimated decrease by the secretary of tn.
treasury for the current year was $4,000,
600.

The Yelycrton Scandal.

The death of William G. Yelyerton.
Viscount Avenmore, brings again to
public notice the scandal in which he
was involved about fifteen years ago.
The %viscount was a soldier who had
done distinguished services in the
Crimea. Miss Teresa Longworth, was a
volunteer nurse, whose personal charms
and accomplishments had so wrought on
upon her titled admirer that he was
conquered. He went through the for
mallty of a Scotch marriage, which was
supplemented with an irish one. Soon
firing of her, however, he left her to
marry another woman Suit was brought
against the recreant lover for mainten-
ance, but it was decided in his favor.
His alleged wife carried the suit
through all the lower courts and to the
house Of lords, but was defeated in ca ch
and all. Her cause was taken up in
Dublin with characteristic Irish enthusi-
asln and she was for a time, the heroine
of the hour, while the viscount was un-
popular in the same degree. Lady Yell
%verton, during the late years of her life.
affected literature and the platform.
ha 'ing published q novel and appeared
as a reader and elocutionist. but without
great success in either, and died in south
Africa. in October, 1881. The viscount
who Is just dead was never able to at.
tract attention in any other way except
by q scandal, and hence will not be cert
ously missed from the world.

Buffers Successor 1naugurated.

Buffers Successor Inaugurated.
Gov. Robinson of Massachusetts, was
warmly welcomed on the Sd. inst, to the
White House. Gov. Robinson in his adj
dress, asks for the more particular en-
forcement of the registration laws and bien-
NAL elections for State officers. He says on
the labor question:
Adventures and Missionaries may try to
set labor and capital in bitter hostility, stir
up bad blood among citizens and divide all
the people into envious and a%ntagonistic
classes, but they are only i~nstigators of
whom they profess to aid. All statutes re.
lating to hours Of labor, employment and
schooling of children, intimidation of la.
borers and kindred subjects should be
strictly enforced. If they are not express.
sive of the judgment of the people, lee their
repeal come regularly.
The board Of charities gets q kind word,
and greater facility in obtaining dissolution
of the marriage bond is censured. The en-.
forcement is urged of laws existing relating
tosthe traffic in Intoxicating liquors.

Sad Condition Of Willard.

lard is seriously i'll. He begged to be ex-

perhaps speak for HIM. This gentleman
spoke freely. of Mr.. Wizards position, and,
as he said, with an intimate knowledge ii
the susj ct.
eyes" he said, "the story YOU tell me of
him is true-Mr. Willard is a ruined man in
his private fortune. He hasn't as much
money to his name to-day as you have. 1t
has all gone to the help of the great enter.
prises he has been at the head oil. There
can be no question of his CONSCIENTIOUS in
tegrity, for he has voluntarily sacrificed his
private means to support the Northern Pa
cifc. Mr.. Willard deserves the mpath
of the public"
Has he nothing lef.?"
Absolutely nothing. His stocks, his
bonds, his two fine residences are all in.
volved in the wreck. He has saved nothing.
He never was so rich g man as was re.
ported. 1t was reporte \ he was worth $1O,-
100000, but S., 000,o GOO would come nearer
the figure"
"Did the rumored interview and %reconcil.
iation between Mr. Billings and Mr.. Willard
take place."
Yes; last Sunday Mr.. Billings
called to see Mr.. Willard. Mr.. Billings, you
know, had quhrreied with Mr. Willard, had
resigned from the management of the
Northern Pacific, and there was some i'll
feeling between tse two.

To show the benefits of good farming
over poor, at q late meeting of the Mis-
souri, state board of agriculture, Prof.
sanborn stated, that on the same field,
and with similar cultivation, he had
raised one year IL bushels Of corn to the
acre, and another year 100 bushels. The
difference is SO great as to warrant all
the care and precaution that a farmer
can give his crop, from the selecting of
the seed to the gathering of the product;
for while twelve bushels of corn per
acre will keep a farmer poor, 100 BUSH
els per acre will make him rich. AS
many as $50 bushels of corn per acre has
been raised in the west, and one case is
on record of 2O6 bushels to the acre. OF
course it was not a large acre on which
the great yield was obtained; still, it
shows what can be done in corr raising,
under the most favorable treatment.
English farmers, by deep %ploughing and
careful manuring, set 40 bushels of wheat
per acre from their soil. and it is said
that Belgian farmers. by more minute
aud careful treatment, do a great deal
better; they get 100 bushels per acre on
their little two and three acre plats.
