Statement Of Lewis and Clarke's
Monetary Affairs for the Past
Fiscal Year.
Different Funds Unusually Strong
Because Of Recent Tax
Collections
Failure Of the state to Pay Once Rent Cut
on some Revenue for .
Time.

An inspection of the annual statement of
the financial affairs of the county makes it
apparent that the rapidly increasing
growth, which has made corresponding de-
mands upon the treasury, have called forth
q wise and conservative administration.
When compared with the preceding annual
statement there il a falling of in the re-
{ sources. This was caused partly by the
failure of the state to pay for the use OF it's
Offices in the court house, which will fur
nish the county a handsome source of in
come now that the necessary appropria-
tions have been made. There has also been
a small. falling off in licenses, from which
a very considerable income is derived. The
expenses of the last election were quite
heavy and helped to out down the figures
Indicating the balance OF hand. At pres
emit the different funds are unus-
ually strong because of the recent tax col
l%ections. If it is taken into con-
sideration that the amount for constructing
the bridge at Augusta, and two near the
city, about balances the difference between
this years statement and that of 1880, it
cannot be said there is reallv any falling of.
Some additional expenses have been created
which could hardly be forseen when the
tax levy was fixed. The largest item IN

about by the creation OF a second iudgeship
in the district court by the legislature. Upon
the whole the condition of the county is
excellent, and there is no probability that
there will be any occasion to resort to the 70
only lone when there is no ready money on
hand.
The bridge fund had a balance or March,
/, 1880, of 81, III. Is. to which was added 1919
from taxes collected. Warrants were drawn
on this fund during the year to the amount
of 81, 642. Is, leaving 49, 79.34 IN hand at the

during the year amounted to $23. 2l3.3S.
leaving a balance of $1.246.l1. The road

Revival ofthe Beaver Hat.


 It is satisfactory to find that fashion has at last brought in reasonable covering for the head to which the most fastidious lady would find it difficult to take exception. The old beaver hat has come in again, and bids fair to rival most of the other head coverings. whether in the form of bonnet or hat; for, indeed, beaver is a material that admits of being moulded into almost any shape or form, and remoulded time after time when 1t has been seen sufficient ly often on any individual head to make it distasteful. The particular suitability of beaver in this or that color, for this or that confguration of face or tint of complexion, is not matter we are much concerned with, though we see no reason why it should not be adapted to any requirements: but it is with the material as a healthy head-covering, either during the approach ing indictment period of the year or dur ing finer weather even. that we interest ourselves.
 For years past ladies have been led by fashion to display entire disregard to the elementary principles which should guide them in this respect, for it may be said that they have not adopted any real head covering either for themselves or their daughters. While we ayow, on the one hand, that we are in no way indifferent to the elegant appearance of the fair sex, and do not desire to detract from their fascina- tions, we on the other hand, know of so many lamentable results in sickness and suffering that we cannot fail to impress on those of our readers who have reasonable influence over their lady patients las most successful practitioners have) that they now have a favorable opportunity of cal ling the attention of their fairer patients to the hygienic improvements this autumn is likely to bring about in the material for ladies' hats and bonnets.

NAVAL ARCHITECTURE.

NAVAL ARCHITECTURE.
 The naval ordinance bureau have for some time been conducting series of tests, having for their object the ascer- taining of the best material for armor plate, The superiority of nickel steel over all other arnor has already been demonstrated as resistant to a direct blow. Later tests have been made of it's merits as a resistant of a defective shot as upon this quality depends it's efficiency for use in sloping steel pro- lection decks that are intendad to cause a shot to glance away from vital part of a steamer. The tests made again proved that the nickel steel was superior to all other armor in this line.
 While the armor is being tested there is at the same time being made at Reading 8 gun that may be able to pierce the nickel steel armor with ease. It is segmental fivo inch breach loading wire gun and is the outcome of the recent successful tests of 8 sectional part of the segmental tube at Reading and Fort Wadsworth. The work is being done under the supervision of Lieutenant Whistler of the United States army. The majority of artillery and naval officers firmly believe in the suc- cess of the gun, though opinions are at present divided respecting the application of the new principle for pieces of heavy calibre.
 Should the gun prove success it will revolutionize the art of modern gunmaking the world over, and no iron-clad, however heavy it's armor plates, would be safe from being pierced from end to end by single ehot

REGULAR SALARY.

A consensus of opinion given by rep: resentative gathering of professional wo- men, the other day, resulted in the decision that even genius cannot live by art alone, but to earn bread and butter must needs rely on regular wages, says the Illustrated American. Half a dozen of the brightest writers, musicians and artists who met with early failures agree that dependence on fugitive work was at the bottom of their misfortunes. A majority of young en- thusiasts, newly fedged from school or academy, begin their careers in big cities, overestimating the value of inspiration as compared with drudgery. If musical, they attempt composition or execution without pupils to support the foundation of their ambitions; if painters, they de- pend on selling pictures, instead of on classes, while, with confidence at once funny and pathetic, the scribblers try to keep body and soul together on literature pure and simple.
 Now, high art is luxury even to the artist, and in order to gain 8 right to sac 1ifce at so exalted shrine, the devotee must needs do honest penance with much plain and solid work This rule follows wherever the aspirant is 8 bread winner, and no escape offers in any direction. A salary-regular pay-is the first considera- ton for financial well-being, and once con- vinced that future success dates always from contract, women would have learned the most important lesson of business education. Be not deceived with fair stories of the untrammelled artist who bloweth where she listeth; such shifting winds usually bring the unattached female to the threshhold of the poor house. Take anything at first, no matter how small, but let it be sure; and look to wages as stepping stones to keep the feet out of water, never leaving one place till the next is in reach, and being circumspect in gait till both soles are on dry land. Dis cretion is so much the better part of valor that no honest bank account was ever started but what began with regular wages.

The Treasury Department has prepared a statement which shows that the customs receipts at the port of New York for the first nineteen days of September, 1891, have fallen off nearly $3,000, ,000, as compared with the core spending days of September, 1890. The total receipts at New York for the period of September, 1891, aggregated SC, ,531, ,757. These figures refute the plea that the present tariff raises taxes.

 Little is known or heard outside Wash ington of the men who do the real work of the cabinet. These are the assistant secretaries, most of whom are competent to take the place of the absent cabinet officer and conduct the department as eff ciently as the chief. There are three assistant secretaries of State, Messrs. Wharton, Adee and Moore; three assistant secretaries of the treasury, Messrs. Nettle- ton, Sparkling and Crounse; one assistant secretary of war, General Grant; one as- sistant secretary of the navy, Professor Soley; four assistant postmasters-general, Messrs.

 Any one of these sixteen men may be called upon to sit at the big table in the cabinet room at the white house, where the presidents advisers meet, and while each has his special functi ons he is ex- pected to have fair knowledge of all the business of importance which may come up at cabinet meetings.

It has increased free importation from 34.09 per cent. of the total imports to 56.23 per cent, thus bringing in more than half of our foreign supplies absolutely free of duty.

Major A. R. Chaffee, inspector gen.
eral of the department of Arizona,
one of the most gallant and experienced
officers in the army, has finished the in
spection of Fort Union, and states that
the reservation, which is fifty-three square
miles, will revert to the claimants of the
Mora grant. He will complete the in
spection at Fort Marcy to-day and then
go to Fort Wingate and different points
in Arizona.
Major Chaffee experienced some of the
Inconvenience of the recent high water in
Arizona. He came to the San Carlos creek
which is dry about half the year, and
after waiting three days for the raging
and surglng waters to subside, and
against the warning of the ferrymen, he
compelled them to take him across in a
small boat, however, finding the trip an
extremely dangerous one.
Major Chaffee says the San Carlos In
dams had all Of their bitches, which had
taken them years to construct, washed
completely away, so that they can not
raise pound of grain this year. He
thinks that the San Carlos Indians should
be moved to some place where the
bitches, which require years to construct,
would n6t be washed away every time
there is high water in the river.
