Under the sinking fund, or what is
more generally known as the oyster
law there has been received during the
year 1884, $4,S2S 74.There has been dis
bursed for repairs on boats, commits
sions, ETC., S4.915.O9, showing the
amount of the disbursements over re-
ceipts to be SS635. deem it my duty
to call your attention to the fact that
on the first day OfJuly, 1856, of the out
standing bonds CT the State one hun
dred and thirty-five 81 900 bonds fall
due and payable. A reference to the
receipts and expenditures for the last
two years will show that the receipts
over expenditures annually amount to
not more than $4,000 per year more
than the actual expenses. Therefore
il will be the duty OF the incoming
Legislature to provide means to meet
the bonds which will mature and fall
due on July lst, 1886.
For a detailed statement Of the trans
actions of this department reference
can be had to the auditors report, in
which can be found an itemized ac-
count of my receipts and disburse-

of the monument. which is, of course,
marble, is S1,120 tons or 1852, ,24O, 900
pounds. Distributed among the peo-
pie of the United States, each person
would receive three pounds OF the
marble. It has cost thus far 81, 1877, )
900. Plans suggested for the proper
adornment of the interior, and the ar
rangement of the grounds, 30 acres,
must decide the additional expense.
A plan of costly marble and mosaic
terraces is met by plan of artificial
earth terraces. The additional expense
ranges from $4,000 to 100000. 1t
will require two years to complete
either plan and to finish the work Of
the interior, in which many of
THE MEMORIAL STONES
must yet be placed. Not four percent
of these stones have been set, many
remaining in the lapidarium. That
interesting department contains stones
from the Thalian Association of North
Carolina, from various States, from
Braddock's Field. Battle Gronnd of
Long Island, 1776, Bunker Hill, in
Vulnerable masonic lodges and fire
mems associations, public schools, the
dramatic profession and from all Eur
opean and foreign nations, These
stones present the finest work of the
most skilled carvers. The stones pre-
sented by fremen are noteworthy.
One stone, presented by the public
schools of Baltimore, contains the
trustees aad teachers signatures
beautifully and skillfully carved. A
head carved 300 years ago by ancient
Egyptians for the temple Of Augustus,
on the banks of the Nile, is mounted
on marble and will be duly inserted.
Among the stones already set in the
monument, are two stones flom North

Special Correspondence Of the Sentinel.
BROWNSVILLE, Oregon, Feb. 81
The SENTINEL is making us glad each
week in our far-of western home.
The 10th of December we had quite
a snow and sleet. In few days two
more, and sleet each time, which
staid with US three weeks. Sleighing
was good and the boys and girls had a
good time walking on snow shoes.
The grass is green now and it has
every appearance of Spring. Stock
suffered a great deal in Eastern Ore
gon, during the cold weather. Hun
dreds OF horses, sheep and cattle died
with hunger and cold. The horses
would huddie together and eat each
others names and tails off. The storm
came on suddenly and the herders had
no time to gather the stock in where
they could feed them. There was a
hard crust on the snow, but where it
was soft horses would paw it off the
grass.
1t is the hardest time financially,
have ever seen in Oregon as there is
no money scarcely in the country.
Wealthy men are hard up to get tax
money and men have failed, supposed
to be worth thirty thousand. | hope
there is brighter day in the near
future. When wheat is low, everything
else is down at bedrock prices and it
has been selling here this year at fifty
cents per bushel.
All Tarheel Democrats were iubi-
liant over old North Carolina's cleo
tions. We feel proud of our Mother
State.
think "Hanneran" is right to not
drop her work and run to the glass
when she hears Joshua" coming, for
in all probability he had forgotten the
wood before he left, or worse still, neg
lected to label the big sticks, and in
such case, a woman is justifablc il
she adds few more wrinkles to her
brow. Away out here in Oregon, men
do the milking, especially in winter, as
there is too much mud for women to
go round the barn. I hope Hammer,
an" will not wait so long before she
gives us another one of her spicy let
ters. I enjoy them very much.

accommodate them and occasional Wis

ting up a large building for board
ing house. 1t is built entirely of logs,
which are left with spurs on and with
the bark undisturbed. This gives an
extremely rural appearance to the
outside, but the inside is to be furnish
ed in elegant style. It is two stories
high and about fifty feet square. 1t
is located about six miles from Bak-

THE LOCATION
of the monument has been severely
criticised. 1t stands in an open, for
lorn lot that is not easily reached. The
Potomac river borders on the South
and West, and brings the coolest
breezes to the grounds !; on the East is
the great public park containing the
Agricultural Department, the Smith
sonian Institute, the old Armory, the
Botanical Gardens, and last, but not
least, the United States Capitol. This
huge public reservation runs with in
tervening crossings, eighteen long
squares; on the North is great bar
rem park known as the White Lot,
and in the rear of the War, State, and
Navy Departments Bldg and the
Executive Mansion. OF course, time
will remove objection to the location,
as we'll as give opportunity for the
Identification contemplated. Aside
from that, the spot has a historical val
ue, having once been chosen for the
erection of a statue in honor of the
American Revolution.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
the ceremonies were continued. Much
disappointment was felt by people ex-
cluded, no one being admitted without
a ticket. This provision, however, be-
came necessary, as the House could
only seat two thousand people.
Fully fifty thousand people, many of
whom were strangers, chafed under
the exclusion. Among those present
at the ceremonies were the Senators
and Representative of North Carolina,
Mr.. Fred Stith, of North Carolina, of
the Chief Marshall, Gen. Sheridan's
honorary staff, several of the German
Fusiliers, of South Carolina, and TIE
SENTINEL. representative. The lengthy
and eloquent Grafton of Hon. Robert
c. Winthrop, now 80 years old, was
read by Ex-Governor Long, of Massa-
chusetts. Hon. John w. Daniel toll
lowed in the name of the Old Domin-
ion. The formal dedication then end
ed. Tonight, however, a grand dis
play of fireworks, manipulated by
skilled pyrotechnists, has gorgeously
closed the celebration of the day.

Newspapers.

From the Philadelphia Times.
There are fewer daily papers in
London now than there were q gener-
alton ago, and it is the same process
of the extinction Of the weakest that
seems to be going on in New York.
But the great London dailies have
made themselves strong, not by cheap
prices, but by good work. The mis-
take that has been made in this coun-
try, in the active competition samong
the too numerous. newspapers, is in
trying to give the papers away instead
of making them SO good that the pub
lie will be glad to buy them.
