throat. The usual local applications were made,
giving partial relief AT 2 am, however, the
administration of anodyne was demanded
Since that time he has been doing and sleeping
by turns. His pulse is 6S; temperature 99.5."
AS DR.. Shrady left Gen. Grants house, he said
the general had passed a very quiet night. He

after which he slept until morning. He took
nourishment as usual.

GENERAL GRANTS REGRETS.
When Senator Chaffee left the house at 1890,
he remarked that the pleasant weather had
not frightened the general as much as antici-

Inevitable is that he is obliged to leave family
and lifelong friends, and that the crowning
work of his life-his war history-will be left in
complete and in an unfinished state. Other
wise he feels his lifework and mission is full

The Water Works Extension.

MAJOR L1DECkER hEIORTS PROGRESS.
Major Lydecker, in his report to the chief of
engineers Of operations for increasing the water
supply of Washington during March, states
that the contractors commenced work during
the month on repairing damages to the riprap
dam above the masonry dam at Great Falls, re-
pairing the Golfer dam, and getting things in
shape for the low water season. 1t is not ex-
pected that any considerable amount of work
on the dam can be done during April, on &C
count of the stage of the water, but preparations
will be made for pushing the work as soon as
the water permits. Work on the tunnel
was continued as usual during March,
although itwas somewhat retarded by the poor
air pressure. The entire length of the tunnel to
be driven Is 2O715 feet 8 inches. Total
amount driven to March 31st, .1O,441 feet.
Almost exactly half of the tunnel is now ex-
cavated. 1nclement weather prevented any
work on the reservoir proper, but operations
will be resumed shortly. Five lengths of 75-
inch pipe of main connections were placed
during March. Progress is slow, as it depends
upon the rate at which the deep ditch Is ex-
cavated by the reservoir contractors. Work will
be continued as usual during April. ~

Economy i'm Collecting the Revenue.
AN ATTEMPT TO BE MADE TO REDUCE THE Ex-
PENSES

One of the first moves OF the new administra-
tion in the way of economy will be an attempt
to reduce the expenses of collecting the reve-
nues. 1t is thought that upwards of a million
dollars annually may be saved by a change in
the system that will do away with the neces-
sity of keeping a storekeeper and gauger at
every little distilery in the country.
Mr. Thompson introduced a bill i'm the House
last Congress which reduced the number of dis
tricts from about lao TO seventy-two and pro-
viding that storekeepers and gaugers should
not be kept at distilleries of less than ten
bushels capacity. This was never passed, the
opposition TO il being based on the ground that
IL the storekeepers were not kept at every dis
tillery no revenue at all would be collected
No definite plan of reduction has yet been set
tied upon. Mr.. Randalls idea will probably be
carried out to some extent His pet theory is
that the internal revenue should be abandoned
altogether, but, OF course, no attempt will be
made in that extreme direction. He then
thinks that as long as the revenue is collected
the number OF districts should be decreased and
the entire force Of collectors, gaugers, store
keepers, &C., cut down as low as possible. This
will probably be done and the system sim
plified.

Among the branch roads leading

importance. as compared with its
length. thant the old Bare6eld and Bry-
ant willis road, which i~nterseets the
CITY cemetery road at the old Hough

and running in a northly direction
about the distance Of three miles, inter-
secting the Yazoo Valley road at a
point on the old Bareield tract near
Sebron Kings Clubhouse. This road
has been in existence duling the past
two decades, and although never a
public road, has been so consider
ed and the board of supervisors
have appointed an overseer and
designated hands to work as far
back as can be remembered by our old
est public citizens; besides the county
has built bridges and done such other
necessary work as is customary on pub
lie roads. This road has been the only
available outlet to a number of thrifty
farmers, among whom we would men
ton Messrs. Sheehan, Kleinman, Stand
ard. Brabston and Willis, all white,
and IS colored farmers who areSrent-
ing land and farming in the neighbor-
hood. All went well with the road.
and in fact many supposed it was a
road until sometime since, when
Mr.. Sheehan claimed $3.50 for damages
for the road running through bis
place. Not receiving the money
he refused to allow it to be used long
er as a road, and verified his refusal
by cutting a ditch four feet deep and
four feet wide in the center Of the
road. This resulted in a petition from
those interested to the board Of super
praying that they survey and
condemn said road, also recommending
some slight change in its north end
meanderings. The board appointed
commissioner to locate, and afterwards
a jury to appraise damages on the

ing fire through the past three or four
meetings, and is as yet as it was in
the beginning.
1t is estimated that six hundred
bales Of cotton will be raised in that
neighborhood this season and a large
amount of it has to be hauled over
this road; and now that the season for
hauling cotton comes apace these farm
ers realize that the board of supervis-
ors have left them isolated and cut off
from market as it were and demand
that something be done for their re-
lief.
