1t was stated as q matter of boast
ing and rejoicing during the recent
meeting Of the Grand Asmy that
all the revenues received by the
Government during the two years
covered by the Fifty-frst Con-
gress amounted to 1891, 6S6,95O,
and that the aggregate of disburse-
ments on pension account for the
same time was $306,951,95O. This
was nearly one-third of the income
of the Government. There will
surely be a powerful reaction
against reckless class legislation
of this kind, at the expense of the
taxpayers, before many years.

The President exults over the pros

substantially that all we want is the

The Needs 1T the People.

other day, touched the key note as
to the causes that brought about
the present financial stringency
when he said that substantial re-
lief lay not alone in initiation or IN
crease in the volume Of currency
but in a reduction of taxation. ItI
is unquestionably true there is not
a suficiency of currency in the
country to answer the demands of
trade and commerce, but this fol-
lows as a Legitimate sequence of
the extravaganza appropriations of
the general government. The last
Congress appropriated for cur
rent expenditures for the next two
years, a sum of money equal to two
thirds, or more, of the total amount
of money in circulation. The mon
ey must be raised by taxation, and
there is no way to- escape its pay
ment. Themoneyultim comes
out of those who produce sone-
thing from the earth and the few
er the demands of the Government,
the more the money left in the
hands of the producer This coun-
try was never so prosperous as.
when the rate of taxation was So
per capita; money was plentiful
and prosperity abounded through
out the land. Now, the rate IS SIG
per capita, and the impoverished
condition of the masses is plainly
to be seen on every hand. From
Maine to California the cry is I'M
iversal forrelief. TheGovernment
requires the use of so much money,
and that amount it must have, re-

1t is true, as the Senator has
stated, that investigations showed
that two hundred and fifty thou
sand men own half Of the wealth of
the country, andit is also stated as
a fact by political economists who
have taken the pains to investigate
the matter, that there are seventy
men in the United States whose ag-
gregate wealth is double the amount
Of the money III circulation.
This change Of wealth from the
hands of the millions into those OF
the favored few, is the result of a

Elephants in Ccxlon.

In the island of Ceylon the people
are very fond of elephant hunting.
They begin by clearing an open space
near a forest, part Of which is strong
ly fencedCn with trunks of trees,
with open places for doors. This is
called a corral. When so much OF
the work is done the natives get be-
hind and around the elephants with
blazing torches, shaking spears and
rattling all kinds of noisy instruments
in order to frighten the huge animals.
while all the time driving them to-
ward the open doors of the corral.
At last with rush the great herd en-
ter, the entrances are barred, and the
poor giants of the woods find them
selves hopelessly imprisoned. An ele-
plants rage is dreadful to witness,
but the ingenuity Of man has found q
way of subduing it. One by one each
prisoner is freed again, and tame ele-
plants, remarkable for their sagacity,
come up to him, stroke him with their
trunks and otherwise cajole him till
they lead him on to good strong
tree. The natives creep up behind
and in a. minute rope with run
ming knot is around the elephants
lea and made fast to. the. tree-.-Ap,
the time this is going on the tame
elephants are humoring their deluded
victim, but as soon as he is secured
they go away and leave him, which is
a shabby trick. Then the men bring
him nice cOcoanuts and leaves to eat,
which, of course, he refuses, as he is
again in a great passion and strug-
Cling to be free. But hunger subdues
even the fiercest, and at last the wild
roaring ceases to resound through the
woods and he is forced to eat. From
that time the tanning process is COM
paratiyely easy; again and again hel
is fed, as he requires it, by kind
hand; and the elephant, susceptible
to Kindness, becomes at last docile
servant Of man.

Queer Articles that from Time % Time

Queer Articles that from Time "a Time
Turn UP In Washington.
There are many queer articles lost
In the mails. Some time ago seven
teen snakes were received at WASH
ington In corpse parcel" Snakes,
however, are but q few among the
many dangerous things that reach the
department OF dead letter" packages.
Live centipedes and tarantulas, horn
ed toads and CHA monsters contribute
to this lost freight. Small alligators
from Florida not infrequently turn
up. Among other gruesome objects
similarly received, not long ago, was
human ear, inclosed In letter per-
chance by some rufiian who had made
1t his trophy; also the scalp of an In
dian woman with long black hair,
doubtless reft from her head by hostile
warrior, and grinning skull, whicha
Philadelphia physician refused be-
cause letter rates were charged uponit,
One of the most curious packages
that have reached the Dead Letter
Office, is one addressed to a lady In
Springfield, Ohio, who-has never been
found. 1t was a small six-barrelled
revolver, with every chamber loaded,
and set at "full cock" The wonder
is that it did not go off when the par
eel was opened. An old relic of in
terest is letter signed by Charles
Guiteau, the murderer of Garfield, in
closing n lock of his own precious
hair. 1t is addressed to lady who
never received 1t, asking her TO con-
tribute 81, 200 for his defense. An
other curiosity, lost in the mail, Is a
cruciflx in glass box, that was post
marked "Vicksburg" and bore on the
outside of its brown-paper wrapper
simply the words "Vicksburg is
taken"
A book is kept at the Department
of Photographs, which were sent by
mail from camps during the war.
The soldier boys commonly had their
pictures taken for sending to show
the folks how they looked in the
field Many of the likenesses thus
dispatched miscarried, aud even now,
the Postoffice Department keeps thou
sands OF them in albums, ready to be
claimed be relatives. When one OF
the portraits is properly identified, ii
is removed from the album page and
the signature Of the recipient is in
scribed on the paper space that it &C.
cupied.
1t is the same way with corps med
ais that were sent home by soldiers
during the war. Dozens Of them are
at present retained under General
Wanamaker's charge, waiting for
their owners. There are starfish, too,
petrffied frogs, stuffed gophers,. Toltee
idols, silkworm cocoons, and all sorts
of other absudities. 1t seems very
curious that Benjamin Franklin, the
first Postmaster General of the United
States made record during eleven
years service Of only 365 valuable
packages sent through the mails. One
little book, of his own manufacture,
shown in the museum, served for all
such accounts during that period.

sixty men on the twelve barges and only
about thirty came ashore. The accident Is
attributed by many to the carelessness OF
the pilot of the tug. Nine mangled and
blackened bodies lie at tho St. Paul, Mimi,
