Of the house entered upon the final
session Of the Fifty fourth congress
with the avowed determination that

expenditures of public money should

felt compelled to adopt this policy be-
cause of the condition of the treasury
and they have generally adhered to it,
although the regular appropriation
bills for the support Of the government
have brought the total appropriations
Of this congress far beyond the 81 ,OOO,-
100000 mark, breaking the record Of
former congresses. Many of the ap-
preparations were necessary to continue
works authorized by other congresses.
No public buildings have been started
by this congress and 10 new battleships
or vessels OF any description, although
the creation of a navy begun several
years ago, has been by no means aban-
loned.

One feature Of the sessions record
worthy of note is the great number of
private pension bills passed, many of

their advertising with undertakers'
signs, and they do . dead business. Dig
nifty is not one Of the fruits Of the spirit.

him neither to graduate at Chapel Hill
nor to continue in the field later than
the early part of 1868. He did post
duty as chaplain both in Goldsboro, n.

stripped of all the fortune which was
