She did not expect too much from b,

the owners in all the counties in the State
having sent in Their choicest and richest

every variety of mineral production from
stone and coal to pure gold, the value of

The Way the Money Goes.

Ex Speaker Carlisle has given to the
Washington correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun an estimate of the grand total of ap-
preparations called for by bills now pending
in Congress, which is appalling to contem-
plate. Pension bills alone are now under
consideration which, if made laws, would
add over $70S, 600. 900 to the 800, 600 900
now appropriated annually for that pur.
pose. These alone would wipe out the sur
plus and leave deficit of over 5000 ,00O,-
900. Then there is the bill to refund the
direct tax, which will call for 81, ZOO, 900; a
bill for steamship subsidies calling for &c.
600, 600 for the first year, aud $9,000.0 900
for each subsequent year for ten years; q
coast-defence bill calling for $21, 600. 600; a
naval construction bill calling for $500, 000,-
900; the Blair bill calling for $4,000, 900;
and other minor measures for emptying the
Treasury by less Wholesale process. Mr..
Carlisle says truly that these measures are
introduced in accordance with the Republi-
can pledges In the last national campaign,
aud that the party must choose between
breaking those pledges and imposing addi-
tional taxes upon the people or increasing
the public debt. The Republicans have, as
he points out, the power to pass all these
measures if they wish to. The party has,
he says, ''the Senate, the House, and the
President, and the rules have been SO
changed that the Democrats can neither de-
feat nor delay any measure that the major
ity may see proper to introduce. The PEN
sion bills can be taken up any day and pass
ed and so can all the others. If the repeated
pledges made to the soldiers and others by
the Republican party are not redeemed by
this session of Congress, it will be simply
because that party does not want to redeem
them and does not intend to do so."
The New York Eosning Post, comment
ing upon these startling figures, says they
give great force to "Cerp." "..Tanner's cele-
brated prayer, "God help the surplus!"
And adds: "If only small portion of the
pending bills become laws, the surplus will
be beyond the reach of prayer, for it will
be wiped out so completely that large de-
ficit will take its place.-Lynchburg Vir-
ginion.
'1sn't that pretty dish to set before the
King?" The Republican party is driving
the country to destruction with post-haste
celebrity. Great is the Republican party
and Satan is its prophet. Its propositions
of expenditure are sufficient to make the
people tremble and stand aghast.

For the SPECTATOR
A TEXAS SHEPHERD BOY.

Bal. is the tender shepherds name,
His full name Balfour Peoples;
In size what men appear to be
Upon the highest steeples.
Dark is his hair. his eyes are brown,
The body roundly moulded,
And very much the rose of life
His nine ears have unfolded.
His pony is tiny black,
(Her name is Kitty Crider),
And with a saddle on her back
You'd wish to be the rider.
A dog attends him day by day,
"a Collie Shep. they call it),
And great would Balfour's sorrow be
Shou Id any harm befall it.
The flock is of Angora goats,
Four hundred silken feeces.
Whose whiteness ike the winter snow.
The solar light increases.
Soon after dawn, the little man,
Upon his pony mounted,
Opens the gateway to the fold,
And every goat is counted.
Tn6n 10 Inc pasture lanQS tney go,
And roam the rolling prairie,
AS blithe and free, it seems 10 me,
AS any mountain fairy.
All day Bal. tends the snow-white herd,
The shepherds wages earning,
Whether the wind blows soft or chill.
Or summers sun is burning.
Ten dollars is his monthly pay,
Ten hundred cents in money.
Beside the equipage in FULL
The saddle and the pony.
At close of day he leads the charge
Back to the walled enclosure.
And counts them as each passes in
With evident composure.
Thus IL Is every day with Bal,
Who little knows OF playing.
And yet, he is a boy at heart,
While duty's call ooeying.
Sometime be may be sent to school,
Sometime may be a scholar,
But now his school boy. days are bought
By the almighty dollar.
