amounting in the whole to $972.2o.
In order to get at true statement OF
the facts in the case this amount
should be deducted from the account
of "Power House Expense Fund S4404,
a." which would leave that fund rep
resented by the figures $3432.09, and
adding to this amount S542.12, the
items which should have been charged
therein, but which inadvertently
found their way into other accounts,
and we have the total expense charge
able against the operating of the plant
of S397421. If the items of tapping
mains and wiring houses should come
in this expense, then take from the
above account the item of tapping
mains and add to the amount paid r.
M. Nalty. This would make total of
S40995. Add this amount to the
s3974.21, and then the total for power
house expenses Tor running expenses
less the cost of wiring) would be S43s4.-
16, still leaving a deficit of $677.71, in
the first instance, or $10S7.66.
However, there are other small items
of no great consequence not properly
chargeable against operating expenses.
Three of these items are for ice,
amounting in all to Sc for the power
house. OF course the employees ought
to have ice-everybody else in town
had ice during the summer, and why
should not the water works be allowed
this privilege also. 1t was proper for
the city to pay these bills if it was nee
essary to have ice to induce the en-
ployes to run the plant, or if it was a
part of the consideration for their SER
vices and in the contract, but it is new
ertheless an improper charge against
the operating expenses, unless it was
in some way used to cool hot box or
other part of the machinery.
OF course subscribers for light and
water have increased since Feb. and
we cannot tell just what the revenue
derived from this source has been, only
in the aggregate. In order to place
the whole matter before the people it
would be we'll for the authorities to
publish statement showing the re-
ceipts each month from the rent of
water and light and other revenues de-
rived therefrom. 1t would be a great
satisfaction to know that the plant has
at least paid expenses, or will pay ex-
penses, and at the same time such a
showing would be great disappoint-
ment to those calamity howlers who
are opposed to the advancement of the
city, and would be great recommen-
dation to the people to keep in Office

to the administration, in justice to

The wheat crop Of the United States for 1877
was estimated at about 5OO,0OO.0OO bushels. OF
which some 2OOO0O00O bushels was demanded

via the great lakes from Chicago. Duluth and
other distributing points to Buffalo. and by the
Erie Canal to New-York is the cheapest Here
the successful handling OF 4 large part OF this
important business illustrates more potently
than any other argument the facilities In this
direction which this city affords. where the
work OF elevating is done both speedily and
economically.
There are at present about 700 vessels en-
gagged in carrying grain on the lakes the
newer ones having capacity OF over lWOO
bushels. while one the Empire City. carries
10000 bushels in bulk. considerably more
than any ocean steamer. The new steamers
make the trip from Duluth to Buffalo. dis
lance of about 1000 miles. in four days. Buff
falo IS one OF the greatest grain ports In the
world and with the railroad and canal facili-
ties New-York is a natural point to which the
grain shall be transmitted.

THE SALE OF FOREIGN BEVERAGES.
History relates that the first brewery built m
New York was erected by Wouter Van Twill1
more than two hundred and thirty years ago.
without dealing with the "reminiscences OF the
industry which contain much to interest and in
struct il is sufficient to mention that the nrst
brewer was successful in building up for HIM
self worldly riches. and from that day to this
those who have followed In his footsteps have
accomplished similar results. AS popular bev-
erage beer has kept pace with the growth ana
development OF the city and from the single
brewery of Van TwilIer to the one hundred and
fifteen or more Of the present day they have
been appearing as fast as the population re-
qured extra supplies. The annual capacity OF
the New-York breweries at the present time -

Europe. and the product Of breweries Of other
cities of the United States sold in the metropo-
lis Both in the nominal capacity and in the
actual output Of its breweries this city Is the
greatest beer producing town Of the United
States.
For the sake OF illustration 1t might be casl,-
ally mentioned that the annual quantity OF beer
produced in New-YOrk each year would fill the
big stone Murray Hill Reservoir. at FOrty-sec-
ond ST and Fifth-ave, once month throughout
the year II this Is not sufficient to stagger the
. reader it might be added that 81 .OOOO 600 bushels
of malt and 15.0OO,00O pounds of hops are annu-
ally required in the manufacture OF the bev-
erage The aggregate investment in the brew
ing industry in New-York City has reached
many millions of dollars and constant employ
ment is given to not less than $4,000 people:

per cent was consumed in NewYork City. In

of domestic beer consumed not made within the

GET FLESH
Get Strength, Vigor. Clear
 
 Complexion and Good Diges- ton, Not by Patent Medicine. Hut in Natures Own Way.

Any honest physician will tell you that there Is but one way to get in- creased flesh; all the patent medi- cines and cod liver oils to the con. trary otwitstanding.
 Nature has but oLe way in which to increase flesh. strength and yigor, mind and bodY, and that is through the stomach. by wholesome food, well digested. There is no reason or common sense in other methods whatever.
 People are thin, run down, ner- vous, pale, and shakY in their nerves simply because their stomachs are weak.
 They may not think they have dyspepsia, but the fact remains that they do not eat enough food, or what they eat is not quickly and properly digested, as 1t should be.
 Dr. Barlandsoa says the reason is because the stomach lacks cer- tain digestive acids and peptones, and deficient secretion of gastric juice.
 Natures remedy iii such cases is to supply what the weak stomach lacks. There are several good preparatia which will do this, but none SD readily as Stuart's Dys- pepsla Tablets, which are designed especially for all stomach troubles, and which cure oil digestive weak ness on the common sense plan of furnishing the digestive principles which the stomach lacks.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets give INIr1f affAHf fa tG increase the appetite and increased viger, added flesh, pure blood and strength Of nerve and muscle IS the perfectly natural result.
 $ Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest tonic known and will cure any form of stomach trouble ex- cept cancer of the stomach. May be found at druggists at 50 cents for full sized package or direct by mail from Stuart Co.,, Of Marshall, Mich
