Internal Revenue.

The total collections from all
sources of internal revenue for the
fiscal year just ended, is $l42,594,-
696.57, which sum has been duly
accounted for and covered into the
Treasury of the United States.
For the fiscal year ending June 30,
1889, the total collections were
Sl30, 1884, 1920, and comparison
shows an increase of $1l, 700,562.37
in favor of the fiscal year Just
ended.
The cost of the collection for the
fiscal year just ended will aggre-
gate about 100000, exclusive of
the cost of printing the internal
revenue stamps, which is paid out
of the appropriation for the Bureau
Of Engraving and Printing. The
expenses for the previous year
were $4l85, 729.6S, making de-
crease this year of about $S5, 900.

1t does, in every line of business, and
especially in compromising and preparing
medicines. This is illustrated i'll the
sreat superiority Of Hoods Sarsaparilla
over other prepsratlons as shown by the
remarkable cures il has ACCOMPLISHED.
The head of the firm Of c. |. Hood &
CO, Is a thoroughly competent and ex-
pe1ienced pharmacist, having devoted his
whole 10 the study and actual prepare
ton Of medicines. He is also member
of the Massachusetts and American Phar-
maceutlcal A SsoclatiOns, and continues
actively devoted to supervising the prep
aration of and managing the business con-
nected with, Hoods Sarsaparilla.
Hence the superiority and peculiar
merit of Hoods Sarsaparilla is built up
on the most subst antiaI foundation, In
it's preparation there is represented all
the knowledge which modern research II
medical science has developed, combined
with long experience, teamwork, and ex-
pertinent. 1t is only necessary to give
this medicine fair trial to realize its
great curative value.

Once Subdued and then gets
Units work.

On last Wednesday night about 81
o'clock Mr.. G. W. Bryan gave alarm of
fire at his home.
Soon a crowd collected and subdued
the threatening flames. 1t seemed that
the house caught fire in the roof from a
chimney in the rear part of the house,
There was little damage done and by a
little after 10 O'Clock the town was again
quiet and every body settled down at
home again. 4 bout II o'clock Mr.. Bryan
and DR.. Mcdowell made further examin-
atom to assure themselves that the fire
was certainly eXtinguished, and they
found every thing satisfactory and DR.,
Mcdowell went home and Mr.. Bryan re-
tired for the night.
About one o'clock some person passing
down Main street saw signs of fire n the
western part OF the town and upon hurry
ing in that direction found that the roof
of NIr. Bryan's house was again blazing
and the family IN bed unconscious of the
danger. About that time Mr.. Bryan
heard the roaring Of the flames and rush
ed out again to find his house hopelessly
enveloped III the lambert flames.
The call of distress rang out clear
again over the Illumined town and help
quickly gathered and succeeded in get
ting the family and almost all the furnl.
ture out before the roof all fell it. The
rain and stiffness of the night kept DR..
Johnson's lot and stables from burning,
The spectacle was truly saddening. A
comfortable home in flames and the
father, mother and grandmother, with
five small children, in the drizzling rain
at the midnight hour. The homes of the
neighbors were open to them, however,
and they found comfortable quarters and
sympathetic friends all around them. The
house was one of the oldest IN the town,
having been built in 1853. 1t was fairly
well covered by insurance.
Mr.. Bryan's family next day took
rooms in the building in front of the
Baptist church where he lived last year,
and are now quietly settled down and he
will rebuild on his lot at an early day.

the cars that they would not carry away
any negroes VITO had made ntracts
with the planters if the planters would
state who had made such contracts;
neither would they carry away any
without paying their taxes.

not to return for any more emisrants.

CHICAGO September 29th-At the Palmer
House tonight a complimentary dinner
was given to W. J. Hynes, the well known
Chicago lawyer, who for long time has
taken conspicuous part in Irish affairs in
this country, aud who has Just returned
from a visit to Ireland.
The dinner was given by M. L Stone,
W. X. Sullivan, John K. Walsh, Judges
Prendergast and Moran and a number of
other friends of Hynes, over one hundred
in ALL
In the course of an after dinner speech
Hynes gave review of his observations in
Ireland, and said he met no man of ''na-
tional sentiments" in Ireland who had not
implicit faith in Parnell and confidence in
the ultimate success of his movement to
secure home rule. Hynes said that up to
the advent OF Parnells movement he be-
lieved in the efficacy only of organized
force honoTably employed "for the attain
ment of Irelsnd's autonomy" But since
the inauguration of Parnell's policy that
had his undivided support. No one, he
said, who had made personal visit to
ireland, and seen the condition of the peo-
pie, could regard the landlord as anything
but bird OF prey.
Speaking of the failure of the potato crop,
he said that from personal observation be
knew there was no exaggefation in the re-
port, and that absolute starvation followed
the failure of this crop. In conclusion
Mr.. Hynss spoke of the uniform courtesy
and consideration with which he had been
received by Members of Parliament and
those prominentin the Irish cause,
