GOVERNMENT BALANCES.

Interesting Statements From the Books
of the Register of the Treasury.
The statement of balances due to and
from the United States from 1889 to
June 80, 1885, on the books of the Reg
lister of the Treasury has just been
printed. 1t shows that we owe small
amounts to about seven hundred and
fifty individuals, on account of 'dece-
dents trust fund.- aggregating $780,
OSO,94. The ..decedents' trust fund.- is
composed of the proceeds of the per-
sonal estate of American citizens who
die aboard, leaving no legel representa-
tive, partner in trade or trustee, which
the Consuls of the United States are
required to transmit to the Treasury,
there to be held in trust for the lawful
claimant. We also owe on account OF
outstanding liabilities" 1860. 4O8, 81.
but this is not an Indebtedness in the
same sense that the other is. When q
draft is given to any one in liquidation OF
a debt due by the Government and it is
not presented or paid within the
space of three years, in order
| to close the account of the dis
bursting officer who drew it, the Treas
| urer is required to deposit the money
| which it represents in the Treasury to
the credit of the person entitled to pay
| ment, and into an appropriation styled
s.outstanding liabilities. The balances
due to and from the United States on
the accounts of the various officers of
the Government are clearly shown in
the following recapitulation of the Reg
| lister:

The Republican Attitude.

What is the attitude of the Repub-
lican party in this year 1886 regarding
Civil-Service reform, and what does it
betoken? There is abundant condem-
nation of the Administration for fail
ures to keep it's pledges in this re-
spect; but what do Republicans
pledge themselves to do in case
power is given to them? Nothing
at all. In Maine, Vermont and Illi-
nois there is in the platform general
and rather Indifferent reference to
the matter. In most of the States it is
not mentioned at all as an item of the
Republican creed. In Indiana alone
do the Republicans, with apparent
earnestness, approve the enforcement
of the law and call for an extension of
it's principles. And this while the
Democratic President, in spite of all
mistakes and violations, is doing more
and withstanding more in support of
the principles of the reform than any
Republican President has had the in-
dependence and courage to attempt.
and Democratic conventions all over
the land are committing themselves,
without express qualification, to ap-
proval of his Administration, and in
many instances especially commencing
his devotion to Civil-Service reform.
1t looks as if Republican politicians
did not want any extension of Civil
Service reform principles until after
they get an opportunity to turn out
Mr. Cleveland's appointees and fill the
offices again with their own class.
Suppose Mr.. Cleveland continues. as
he has thus far gone on, retaining in
office many Republicans, even after
the expiration of the term for
which they were appointed by Re-
publican President under the law
| which a Republican Congress would
not repeal, although its repeal was de-
sired by Civil-Service reformers; APP
pointing in conspicuous cases Repnb-
licans of approved character and tit
ness to office; improving and strength
ening the executive regulations by
| which the Civil-Service act is applied,
| where they are weak-and suppose
that, with this record, he should be re-
| renominated by the Democratic party.
do Republicans think the record they
! are making will induce the people to
turn Mr. Cleveland out in order to
make Mr.. Blaine, or any Republican

threw over her grapnels, and two men
used the oars to give her Roadway. We
had not pulled fifty feet when the irons
took hold, and drew the boat back to
the spot by means of the rope.
Then, standing on the seat in the
stern, I lifted at the obstruction, and
it came slowly up. 1t had just APP
peared at the surface sufficient for me
to make out that it was boiler-iron
torpedo when there came an awful cx-
plosion. At the same instant our boat
was lifted high in the air and broken to
pieces, and I scarcely comprehended
what had occurred until found myself
in the water at least two hundred feet
below the point of explosion. My hair,
whiskers and eyebrows were badly
singed. and my clothing was on fire as
I came down after the flight. While ]
had escaped the other three men were
killed outright and horribly mangled,
and the great wave created swamped the
boat working few hundred feet below
us and drowned one Of her crew.
While swimming for this capsized
boat man stood on the bank of the
river and fired four shots at me from a
revolver, and with the fifth he killed the
colored man who had given us informa-
ton. The victim stood on the bank,
about midway between the two boats.
and was shot through the head. The
torpedo was no doubt exploded by cleo
tricity, and the man who fired the shots
was the operator who exploded it. Cor.

The Presidents Good Reasons.

President Cleveland, in giving his
reasons for pardoning a man the
other day, mentions one reason which
is not sufficiently considered by any of
us.
'.He has served five years." said the
President, ''and whatever good is ever
to be wrought upon him Individually
has already been accomplished. At the
time of his conviction his wife, anoble.
courageous and devoted woman. and
five small children, were the sufferers
for his crime, and exacted the SYM
pathy of the entire community. By her
patient, hard labor to support her chli-
dren, and her never-failing hope in the
darkest days, this wife has demon
strated that she, at least, is entitled to
clemency."
This Is well said. In too many in
stances the penalty of crime unfortu-
nately falls chiefly upon the innocent
family of the criminal. When the art
of justice is perfected, we hope there
will be modes of lessening this cruel
wrongly. r. Ledder.

PICKING UP A TORPEDO.

The Somewhat Hazardous Occupation OF
a Bold Union Mariner.
was among others detailed from the
Federal steamer Monongahela to search
the Red river between the Tensar and
the Mississippi for the torpedoes which
had been planted by the Confederates
before our fleet appeared in those waters.
These torpedoes were of all makes,
shapes and sizes, from a pork barrel
half-full of powder, to be fired by
electricity from the shore, to a glass
demijohn holding ten pounds and to be
exploded by contact. Some were on
the surface, some just under it and
some on the bottom. We went out In
gangs of four in row-boats to hunt for
these TERRIERS, each boat being pro-
vided with grapnels, nets, boat-hooks
and whatever else was needed for hsh-
ing up the monsters. We had to go
slow and exercise great caution, Tor the
channel was tortuous and no one coutd
guess at what point we would come
across torpedo. While the WOODS
were shelled two or three times day by
our gunboats, the Confederate swamp
cats were by no means driven out.
They had every chance to secrete them,
selves along the banks, and we realized
that if we came upon an electric tor
pedo which could be exploded from the
shore we ran every risk of being blown
sky-high.
I'VE had been at work three or four
DAYS and had fished up seven or eight
ugly-looking fellows, when we got into
a part of the channel which ran within
fifty feet of the right hand bank. Just
at this time co1ored man who had
been living out in the swamps for sew.
eral weeks waiting for his deliverance
informed us that he had observed men
planting something in this bend about
two weeks before. He thought there
were wires leading from it to the swamp,
but we secuted about for couple o.
hours without being able to find that such
was the case. The bank was dense
Jungle in which thousand men could
have concealed themselves and the gun
boats could not shell it from the posi-
ton they had taken.
Tt was about an hour after dinner tina
we moved up and began graphing il
the bend. The boat in which was sta
toned turned her bow down stream

CHAPTER VIII.

comic language the chief items of his
interview with Mr.. Lincoln. The boss
laughed, he wrote. Guess cause L

me a note to recruiter. and I'm a

front" And as time went by and the
great storm spread ard throbbed and

out her life to feed the tempest The
courthouse park became drilling
ground, and the trains Numbered away
with hundreds of her brave fellows
toward the scene of conflict Some
came back thin and sick, some manned,
and many never came. During those
bitter years not many letters were re-
ceived from Absalom, but now and
then rumor, sometimes grave and
sometimes laughable, came as If from
the far-off battle-smoke, telling of his
proves and promotion. Ether worked

Earlv Promise of Talent Frequently Not
Followed by CIR eat Achievements.
The idea that genius reveals itself
early in life does not at once recon-
mend itself to common sense. Observa-
ton of nature as a whole suggests, first
of all, perhaps that her choicer and
more costly gifts are the result OF long
process of preparation. And, however
this may be, there is certainly more
moral suggestiveness in the thought that
intellectual distinction is the reward OF
strenuous adolescence and manhood
than in the suppositlon that 1t can De
reached by the stripping at bound
through sheer force OF native talent.
And it may not improbably have been
lively perception of this ethical signlfi.
canoe which fostered in the classic mind
so widespread disbelief in early prom
ises of great intellectual power. We
find typical expression OF this senti.
ment in the saying of Quintilian: "lllud
ihgeniorum velut pr9cox genus non
temere umouam pervenit ad fru-
pem'' That is to say, the early promise
of talent is rarely followed by the fruit
of great achievement. tits evident that
this saving embodies something like
general theory of the relation between
rank of talent and rate of development
When superior intellectual ability shows
itself at an early date it is OF the sort
| that reaches its full stature early, and
SO never attains to the greatest height.
| On the other hand, genius of the finer
order declares itself more slowly. In
order to estimate the soundness of this
view, two lines of inquiry would be nee
/ essary. We should need to ask, first Of
all, what proportion of those who had
shown marked precocity have after
ward redeemed the promise of their
youth; secondly, what number OF those
who have unquestionably obtained a
place among the great were previously
distinguished by precocity? These two
lines Of investigation are, however, in q
measure distinct. 1t may turn out that
a large proportion of clever children
never attain to any thing but to
mediocrity in later life, and yet that the
majority of great men have been re-
markable as children. Popular Scienc<
