In spite of the fact that the eastern shore of Maryland has been inha bited by race of keen sportsmen for two and half centuries, small game is still abundant in the remoter parts of the region. Large tidal rivers un- known to northern sportsmen abound in ducks, rabbits are plentiful in most of the southern counties and there are many quail in the great woodlands that still cover many thousands of acres. There are many squirrels in the pine woods of the southeastern counties and the variety of water fowl. especially on the Atlantic side. Is re- marka Dle

of the receipts and expenditures during the remainder of this month and the month of Feb ruary. It will be seen from the statement that there is an urgent necessity for such an imme- diafe action as will replenish the coin reserve and enable this department to continue pay ment of public expenses and discharge the ob- Iigations of the government to pensioners and other lawful creditors
 When my annual report was prepared Il was estimated that the expenses during the current fiscal year would exceed the receipts to the amount oi about S3s ooo 900. and ! asked con gress for authority 10 issue and sell bonds or other forms of obligations to an amount no, exceeding s5o0o0001, bearing low rate of in terest and having a reasonably short time to run, 10 enable the secretary Of the treasury to supply such deficiencies as might occur in the revenues.
 EXPECTATIONS NOT REALIZED.
 The estimate then made was based upon the assumption the the worst effects of fnan- eial disturbances had already been realized and there would be a substantial increase in the revenues for the remainder of the year.
 While it was not believed that the defeien- ey then existing would be supplied by in- creased revenues in the future it was hoped that no additional deficiency would occur, but the receipts and expenditures during the month of December and up to the twelfth day of the present month show that the estimates year was much too low. The actual receipts and expenditures during each month of the year and the monthly deficiencies have been year 1891:

EXEMPT FROM TAXATION.


 Section SUI Of the Revised Statutes pro- yides that all stocks, bonds. treasury notes and other obligations of the United States shall be exempt from taxation by or under state or municipal or local authority.
 On accoun; Of this general statute il was not proposed in the bill which the secretary of The treasury laid before the senate finance com mit;ee in Inc early part of last week 10 make any provision concerning the taxation of the bonds which he is asking congress to authorize him 10 issue
 The house or representatives. fy rule adopted some time ago. has dedicated all its time until the @9th of the present month 70 the consideration of the Wilson tariff Dill. and therefore it would have been i'm possible for the secretary of the treasury to procure any legislation in that body before that time and fer this reason Secretary Car lisle thought it necessary to make the applica- fion first to the committee on finance Of the senate which he hopes will act upon the meas Cre in time 10 provide the necessary means for the government

 WILL ISSUE BONDS
 Authority to issue and sell bonds for She pur- pose or maintaining specie payments was ex prsssly conferred upon the secretary CT the treasury by the act of January l4. 1875. but ii has not been exercised since lS59 snd on ac- count of the high rate Of interest provided for. and the length ot time such bonds would have to run, have not been satisfied that such an emergency has heretofore existed as would clearly justify their issue.
 But the necessity for relief at this time is so urgent and the prospect of material improve ment in the financial condition Of the govern ment is so prot tlemaiical that unless authority to issue anu sell shorter bonds other obligations bearing lower rate of interest than that speci- fed in the existing law is granted by congress at very early day. shall feel constrained by a sense of public duty to exercise the power already conferred. to the extent a. least of pro- eucing @n adequate coin reserve
 Ii this action should be taken. congress ought nevertheless. 10 provide promptly for the deficiency in the revenues during the cur. rent fiscal year. and will from time to time advise your committee of the condition of the treasury in order that this subject may receive due consideration. I have the honor to be- yours very respectfully.

OWENS COUNTY PLURALITY.
The Sugar Men.

From the New Orleans Picayune DEM
The Pieayune fully appreciates the
facts that the sugar interests of Louisi-
ana have been basely betrayed and
most unjustly Disseminated against
in the recent Congressional legislation.
But for the sugar me to join the Re-
publican party, in order to ecHre a
Republican delegation in both the
National Senate and House, means 81
revival of the old horrors and abomi-
nations of Radical rule in Louisiana.
1t means the State General Assembly
filled with negro members. It means
negroes in parish offices. 1t means
white politicians counting favor and
hobnobbing with negroes. 1t means
the wholesale and most destructive
disturbance and disarrangement of
the labor system of the State. 1t
means q revival of the offensive and
arrogant assumption by the negroes
of social equality, and q rearraying of
the two races in bitter hostility to
each other. But the sugar men are
not driven TO such all extreme. They
can elect representatives who will de-
vote themselves to the protection of
Louisiana's great interests. They can
find men in the Democratic party who
will do this. They certainly cannot
hope for any relief from a Republican
Congress, in the event the Fifty-fourth
should be a Republican, because the
Republican party is the originator of
free sugar. But, evidently, what they
hope for is a restoration of the bounty.
The Picayune candidIy believes that
there will never be another bounty
voted on any American product.

swords of Damascus.
From the Chicago Inter Ocean

FROM the tnlCaSO inter ocean,
To the lovers of strange goods
the bazars OF Damascus are far more
alluring than those of Cairo or Con.
stantinople; the ~capacious chests Of
the merchants contain much that
we would buy were our purses
longer. Old embroideries of won
derful c%olors, delicate China silks OF
many hues, swords of cunning
workmanship, all these lie piled be.
side us on the floor. Itis but sell
dom that 4 really good specimen OF
the Damascus sword can be OBJ
tanned, for the art of working and
engraving steel is dead. The swords
were made of alternate layers of
iron and steel, SO finely tempered
that the blade would bend to the
hilt without breaking, with an edge
so keen that no coat OF mail could
resist it, and Il surface SO highly
polished that when a Moslem wish
ed to rearrange his turban he used
his sword for Il looking glass.

P0r Buyers of Tobacco.


By the new tariff bill, merchants
who buy natural leaf tobacco from
the original grower must affix
stamps to the amount Of 6 cents on
packages of one pound, II cents on
two pounds, etc. The grower of
tobacco is exempted from atlixing
such stamps to such part of his crop,
as he may sell to consumers or to
merchants for retail. The old law
which permitted IL farmer TO retail
100 pounds or 800 worth is still in
operation. Tue man who buys to
resell must look out. The law takes

Uot, E;alJ-a Wonb;,-o,

Tarsney, of Missouri, who stood
out against the caucus action of the
Democrats on the senate bill, is a
brother of the adjutant-g general Of
Colorado, and also of Tim Tarsney,
who was for several years a member
from Michigan. The latter used TO
tell an anecdote of his reception in
n Connecticut city, where he was
sent by the Congressional campaign
committee to DO some political mis-
sionary work. The people turned
out with becoming enthusiasm and
the hall was packed. The chair
man had prepared a speech for the
OCCASION. 1t was short, but a mira
Gle of oratory.
"Ladies and gentlemen, ''sai3 he,
''this tremendous and cultured au-
dience that has assembled this
evening will have the extreme felicity
Of listening to an orator whose voice
has resounded with telling effect in
the halls of the national legislature.
He has often been honored by the
people of his state with election to
that great body. the house of rep
r~esentatives,, and so great and pc.
tent has been his labor for his coun.
trymen, that, throughout the length
and breadth of this broad land, his
name has become a favorite house

Here the orator bent down a
moment, and whispered to Tarsney,
"What is your name, slr?" and re'
ceiving the reply, continued:

pleasure of introducing to you Con.
