critical position unless interposition comes
speedily either from the south or the
north, and it likely to prove more effectual
from the latter direction. Mexico is APP
parently as much stirred up as though she
were herself party to the quarrel, and
the most effective check upon Barrios's
design is likely to come from that quar-
ter. Mexican feeling on the subject seems
to be moved by no better motive than
jealousy. but it is pretty sure to drive the
Government to an interposition that will

A Big bet.

A bet was made in the Presidential
election of 1882 or rather an agreement
by which the sum Of 5000 was given
outri ght to one Of the parties to the bet'
the conditions being that he should pay
the other man one cent for every e!ec.
toral vote that Jackson should get over
Clay, two cents for two votes, four
cents for three, eight cents for four,
sixteen for five, thirty-two cents for six,
and so on, according to the majority, if
any, that Jackson might get in the cleo
toral college. The man to whom the
offer was made incautiorsly jumped at
it, and eagerly took the 5000. But he
found that he had obligated himself for
more than he, or all his frienl-, could
ever pay. The simplest arithmetic will
show that, by a rule of this doubling
up, even if the majority had been 20, ii
would have Involved $5,242.SS; TO say
nothing of the majority of 90, which
would bankrupt all the Goulds and Van
derbits. Even majority of only 80
would produce s5,36S, 707.l2; while u
majority of SO would involve s3i3, 597-

have mounted into the billions, anu
reached the astounding sum of S6,497-

In its annual review Of Southern indus
tries last week published list of all
manufacturing and mining enterprises
organized in the Southern States In
1884, giving name, location and char
acter of business Of each. The list
shows 1885 new enterprises, with an
aggregate capital reaching the enor-
nous sum of Sl05, 1853, 800. The list
shows that almost every branch Of gem
eral manufactures is represented. Cot
ton and wooden mills, machine shops,
foundries, blast furnaces, ice factories,
saw mills, planning mills, building ma
terisl factories, furniture factories, car
riage and wagon factories, handle fac
tories, etc., are very numerous. There
are many -four mills and more tobacco
factories, and large number Of cotton
seed oil mills, rs well as mining enter
prises OF all kinds, gold, silver, cotton,
mica, coal, etc. A notable feature Is
the amount Of Northern aud Western
capital going into the South, though
Southern people are themselves show

their resources.

business amounts to II enterprises, with

w... federal Oacer- Get.

A member Of Congress gets an a'!o"-
ance of $I25 annually to defray his ex-
penses for stationery. He gets mileage
once only during each session going
to and returning from Washington,
which costs the Senate about $33,ooo
and the House $4,000. Each Senator
and member receives 5000 year for
his services. Baskets Of flowers from the
Agricultural, Botanical and Propagat-
ing Gardens, gold fish from the fish COM
missioners ponds, and unlimited free
dom In the overcrowded Congressional
Library, with the customary distrlou-
ton of public documents to constituents
these con stitute all the pay and emol-
uments Of a national Legislator. The
President receives a salary OF s5O,O
rer annum, which he usually draws
quarterly. He has house rent free.
The Cabinet officers each receive $S,Ooo
for their services and find themselves.
While the Executive is supposed to be
pretty well paid for his sacrifice of time
and peace Of mind, the expenditures OF
the President in maintaining the dig
nifty of the office, in entertaining foreign
ministers, judges, senators, congress-
men and officials leave him but little
chance to be either economical or saw
ing. Those who entertain know that
the cost of wines is the largest item in
the bill, and many dinners in a season
to forty guests at each sitting draws
very heavily even upon the Presidents
81 900 week salary. The Executive,
too. is under the additional expense OF
Offering his guests the best the market
affords. 1t would be scandal never
to be forgotten for one entertained at
the White House to say the wines were
only $3.50.
The Board of Estimates of New York
has allowed the neat little sum of
81 zoe, 900 for the purpose of cleaning
the streets of the city for the year 1885.
Seems like the streets ought to be kept
clean enough to eat of of with that
much money.
