The government fiscal year closed on the
3Oth of June, and the public debt statement
shows reduction of $101, 00O, 600, against .
reduction of $13s, 100000 during the previous
year ending June 80, 1888. An examination Of
the Understanding debt shows, however, that
the actual reduction during the year has been
nearly SIG, OOO,O which represents per-
manent annual saving in the interest account
of over three and quarter million.
The gold coin and gold bullion found is now
nearly $205, 900 600, an increase since June OF
about $4,000, GOO. While, however, this fund
shows an increase of So 000, coo for the month,
there has been a decrease in the amount of gold
owned by the treasury of 81 500, 600. The out
standing gold certificates having increased
since June $12, 000, 600; the amount of these
certif .ates now outstanding is over $70,0o0,-
000. and the amount of gold In the
treasury not covered by certificates in $780,
729914 The number of silver dollars now on
hand is $135, $50, 916-an increase of nearly
S. COO 900 for the month, and since July l, 1888,
of $23, GAG, 1877. The amount of silver certifi-
Gates outstanding is 800 42O, coo, thus leaving
the number of silver dollars not covered by
certificates over $39, 00O, GUAM increase since
June of nearly 81, 0C0, 000
The amount Of bonds now held to secure ma
tional bank circulation Is 1854 ,OO0,0VO, against
1857, 600, 600 one year ago, thus showing with
drawal of bank circulation for the year of about
$20,0O0,000. The total receipts for the year were
$34S, OO0, 900, against $39S GOO, 600 for the pre-
ceding year-a difference of $50, O0O 600 in round
numbers During the discussion of the tariff
bill in congress it was estimated that the pas
sage of the revenue bill then pending would
work a reduction of about $40, DOC, 600 per an
mum. The actual reduction in these two sources
as shown by figures reported to the treasury
department is a few thousand short of $42,-

A British Spider.

One of the most singular figures in
the House of Commons is Lord Henry
Lennox, VINO was announced for some
time in the society journals as affianced
to Mrs. Hicks Lord, and who has re-
Gently married another wealthy widow.
He has been known as the Spider from
as far back as 1852, when he was private
secretary to Disraei on his first as
sumption of office, and acted as his cup
bearer. supplying him with draughts OF
port wine to sustain him in his memoir
able speech in defence of his first budget,
The Spider combines the age of sixty
three with the vivacity, not to say the
vanity, of twenty His patent leather
boots are the nattiest in the House; his
clothes are of the cut of the most ac-
complished masher; his hair, which is
lovely brown-what there is Of it's
parted down the middle: his manners
have the repose becoming the De Veres
and people of that class. In short,
Lord Henry is at all times and under
all circumstances an interesting object
and an instructive study, deserving the
observation of American visitors to the
House.

The following from the Philadelphia
Bulletin is something for the young
man to consider during the heated term;
"There are plenty of people who de-
clare that the best thing young man
can do is to marry and settle down in
earnest to domestic life, and there are
others who declare with the same en-
phasis that the opposite course is the
correct one to pursue. Giving both
sides of the argument proper weight,
the choice is left with the young man.
One who can give his wife home, no
matter how modest it may be, no doubt
is justified in taking a partner for life;
but it does seem to be the utmost folly
for young man to take girl away
from the home of her parents and sub
ject her to discomforts which she must
bear uncomplainingly for loves sake.
This thing is more common occurrence
than most people imagine, and it ac-
counts for about one-half the misery of
the world. Elegance and wealth are not
indispensable to the happiness of sensible
people, but certain amount Of provision
must be made"

When lease contained stipulation
granting to the lessees the right and
privilege to purchase the leased prem
ises of and from the lessor at any time
before the expiration of the lease, for a
stipulated sum to be paid down in cash
to the lessor upon the demand of deed
prior to the expiration of the lease, the
Supreme Court of Minnesota recently
held that payment of the same within
the time limited was an essential con-
dition to the consumation of any bind
ing contrast of sale. The court took
the view that the lease amounted sub
tantially to written proposition or offer
to sell upon the proposed terms, and
that the assent or act of acceptance,
whether by payment or the fulfllment
of some other condition, was neccessa-
rily to be made within the time
limited, otherwise no. contract could
be consumated.

The increase in size and tonnage of
the great ocean steamers has been SO
gradual as to attract little attention, but
it is evident that within few years
vessels of 10000 tons will not be be-
yond the ordinary limit. The great
Eastern was a sensational experiment,
built under the influence of Mr.. Brunei,
who was more interested in the enhance
ment of his own fame than for the prof
its of the stockholders, and was fail
ure not so much on account of its un-
wieldy size as because marine machinery
and architecture had not been adapted
to its condition by natural growth and
experiment But with the examples OF
such vessels as the Umbria, and her
probable Successors, it is quite likely
that steamers as large as the Great
Eastern will be in successful operation
while she is yet afoat.
