/ was looking over the books in the
State Auditors Office to-day, and there.
on four pages of the ledger-from 26
TO 80 inclusive-I found one of the con-
tractors
OVER TwENTY-sEvEN THOUSAND DOL
LARS SHORT
In his payment for the cheap labor of
that institution.
The name of the contractor is Colonel
A. G. Patton, head of the Patton Manu-
featuring Company.
The books are only posted up to the
sth day of August, owing to the illness
of the clerk having them in charge. The
entries up to that date show
THE FOLLOWING STATE OF FACTS,
Which will probably interest a great
number OF people:
On the 1st OF December, 1888, there
was due from colonel Patton to the
State for contract labor"a balance OF
$9,393.s7 and on ''piece price" $12, ,976.52,
a total of S22. .S7O.s9.
On the Sth day of August there was
due on contract labor" S24, 4,O75. 40, with
credits to July 81 aggregating S1s, 500,
leaving a shortage of $S, ,575.49. On the
same day there was due on "piece price"
$34, ,947.95, with credits aggregating $16,-
600, leaving shortage of SIS, ,947.95, or .
grand total Of S2T 523. A shortage of pay
ment, come $1,000 greater than 1t was
nine months ago.
In the State Auditors books found
PRIVATE MEMORANDUM
In pencil, which stated that there was
due from Colonel Patton on contract
$9,O75. 40, on piece price $40, 447.e5," a
grand total of 1926, ,593. IA.
This memorandum was probably made
by the Auditor of State yesterday or to-
day, and is what he figures the shortage
to date.

Loss of Life of Negro slaves.

It was my lot once to be with DIR.
Livingstone in the vicinity of Lake
Nyassa, and at q time when for the
SLAYER it was an exceedingly happy
hunting ground. As consequence
of what we saw, Livingstone rcckoned
that for every slave that got to his or
her distinction ten lives were lost.
Inasmuch as the ground is now SO
cleared OF slaves nearsthe coast Chat
Is TO say, for the normal mode Of coll
lecting) that the Zanzibar Arabs have
to procure them more than half way
across Africa, as shown recently by
Mr.. sArnot, tho calculation of ten lives
per slave may probably now be under
the mark. The Arab slave-dealer's
appearance on the scene means raids:
quarrels fomented between strong and
weak chiefs; q neglected sowing sea-
SON in the prevailing disturbance;
famine, and then the pestilence which
follows ON starvation. A vast proper
ton of the slaves perish on their jour-
ney 10 the coast, and finally the NOR
tally Is great at sea in overcrowded
and unseaworthy dhows, for, with the
possibility of capture before his eyes,
the slave shipper-particularly il he is
bound for Pemba-charters any old
cranky craft which will hold together
for the trip. On the 9th of March last
year Philip j. Stopford, midshipman
OF the Garnet (who seems to be, by the
admiralty accounts, very cormorant
for swapping up slayers), chased a
dhow OF Pemba. The man at the
helm lost his head, the dhow was cap
sized, and ninety-two out of liz slaves
and slavers were drowned.--Rev. Hor-
ace Waller.

How Repulsiye

Is bad breath, and yet how many other
wise attractive, polite and particular peo-
pie afilict their friends with the foul odor
of their breath. If there was no remedy
for this, it might excite our sympathy,
but as there is no need of having foul
breath, it is an objectionable breach of
good manners to obtrude such an offence
on good society.
Foul breath arises from disordered d.
gestion which can be corrected by using
Sulphur Bitters, and the result will be a
pure, sweet breath.
