The State Treasury.

Gov. Longino, on June 30th, published
this statement: Il hereby certify that
I have this day counted the money in
the State treasury and find the amount
called for by the books to be actually
in the vaults of the treasury. No notice
was given to the treasurer as to the
time of making the count"
And thereupon one of the city papers
stated the following as the amount to
the different funds:

These are interesting details, but we
doubt the public policy, or propriety,
of informing the vault-smashers and
safe-blowers of the country that there
is nearly a million dollarsin the Missis-
sIppi treasury vaults.
The previous published statement
showed more than a million dollars on
hand, but the semi-annual distribution
of the school fund reduced the balance
about $500, 900.

Resolution. Of Coincidence.

We have been requested to pub
lish the following resolutions of
cendolence anent the recent mar
riage of w. S. English, a former
publisher of the TRIBUNE. The
resolutions are signed, which fact
we hope relieves us all RESPONSE
bility. We have heard of Mr..
English, and know him only by
reputation. Two hundred and ten
pounds is no protection In some
instances, and this is one of them
If all reports be true. The reso-
lutions are as follows:
Whereas, certain and divers re-
ports of strange and unusual oc-
currences reach us daily, taxing
our credulity, and causing us to
stop and ponder before accepting
as truth, startling revelations Of
every nature, and
Whereas, among such reports
lately received by us IS one OF more
than usual strangeness, purporting,
as it does, to the fact that w. S.
English, former member OF the
band of irredeemables of this place
has of his own free will and accord
with malice aforethought, entered
the bonds of matrimony, which
means that he got married to a
woman, and
Whereas, after duly considering
the matter, and after carefully
weighing the evidence tending to
prove the absolute truth of the said
report, we have been forced to ad-
nit that there might, even must be
some grounds upon which to base
such report, and are forced to ac-
cept the said report as true, not
withstanding the extreme improb-
ability that such can be the case.
Accepting, therefore, the above
report as the truth, and that the
said w. S. English has committed
the act and deed above described
and set out, therefore be it
Resolved, that we extend to the
said w. S. English:
First-This expression OF our
unbounded surprise that he OF all
others, should have been guilty Of
this act.
Second-Our unqualified appro-
val OF this step, and our sincere
hope that he may in no wise regret
the same.
Third-Our binding promise to
in no wise reveal to Mrs. English
that which we may know or in any
wise have heard Of, the acts and
doings OF the said w. S. English.
Believing that time is the great
revealer as well as the great Heal
er, we leave him to her. She will
find him out.
Resolved further, that if in the
course OF human events, the un
usual should not happen, and the
foregoing w. S. English and Mrs.
w. S. English should become re-
sponsible for smaller edition OF
the same, it is our wish and hope
that the said smaller edition shall
so combine the many desirable
qualities Of its authors, that it shall
become most worthy edition to
the English speaking race.
Resolved further, that we express
to Mrs. English our gravest appre-
hension that she may not succeed
in training the said w. S. English
to become a model husband as
most OF us have become, but we

Poultices for Beauty's Face.


All women cannot go to Paris to
consult a celebrity who has just come
to the fore with plan to benefit COM
plexion. 1t consists of making poult-
ices of the interior of fruit, and wear
ing these over the face at night, says
the Philadelphia Inquirer. All fruit is
good, but the best of all is the straw
berry. You need not use pounds of
fruit, like Nine. Tallien-a very little
will suffice. You spread the fruit on
a band of linen, and tie this over the
wrinkled part of the face. Even one
trial will astonish you; but if you con-
tinue the result will exceed your wild
est expectations. Women who follow
this treatment never wash the face in
quite plain water, nor in cold water,
nor with soap. Never, either, use
glyterine or any fatty substance on
the face. A little powder may COM
plete the perfect drying of the face,
but it must be of the very best quail
ity! Plain orris root is the best OF

After 500 years Dante's reputation

and yet to him the witticism which

fury his cult has had revival unex-
