This sum can, with no more propriety, be Included In the dtbtof the district government than the thousands of calms against the general government be Included as a portion of the national debt. but the aggregate sum thus stated includes fomethlng more than the funded debt chargeable exclusively to the District of Columbia. The act of Congress of November21, 1873, contemplates an apportionment between the United states government and the District of Columbia. In respect to the payment of the principal and interest of the S,t3 bonds. Therefore. In comparing with precision the bonded debt of the district with the aggregate sums above stated, as respects the 3,66 bonds now issued, the outstanding certificates of the board of audit, and the unadjusted claims pending before that board should b3 reduced to the extent of the amount to be apportioned to the United States government, in the matter indicated In the act of Congress o'JaneJth, 1871. I especially invite your attention to the recommendations of the commissioners of the sinking fund relative to the ambiguity of the act of June lX)th, 1874, th interest on the district bond and the con solidation of the Indebtedness to the district. i fwi much Indebted to th-3 gentlemen who con sented to leave their private affairs to attend to THE BU3IHESS OF THE DISTRICT, and for the able and satisfactory manner in which It has been conducted. I am sure tueir services will be equally appreciated by the entiie country. It will be seen from the accompanying full report or tne ooara or neaiin mat tne sanitary condition of the district Is very satisfactory. In mv opinion the District of Columbia should be regarded as the grounds of the national capital in which the entire people are interested. I do not allude to this to nree general aDoroDriations to the dls trict. but to draw the attention of Congress in framing a law 'or the government of the district to the magnificent scale on which the citv was Planned by the founders of the government, the manner in which, for orna mental purposes, the reservatorles, in avenues was laid out, and the proportion of the property actually possessed by the general government. I think the proportion of the expenses of the government and improvements to be borne by tne general government, ine cities oi wasnlnsionand Georgetown and the country should h carefnllv and eonitab e defined. In accord ance with section 3. act approved June Ä3, 1871, 1 appointed a board to malte a survey ol the mouth of the Mississippi river with a view of 'determining the best method of obtaining and maintaining a depth of water sufficient for the purposes of commerce, etc. In accordance with an act entitled an set to provide for the appoiatmect of a commission of engineers to investigate and report a permanent plan for the elevation of the aim vial basin of the Mississippi river subject to inundation I appointed a commission of engineers.

' The New York Republic, of the 2Sth ult. , contains the coroner's testimony in a case of crime already so notorious. The account given of the inquest is as follows: Coroner Kessler yesterday held 1 an inquest in the case of Carrie Janisch, 4 years of age, who died on the 20th inät. from burna alleged to have been inflicted bv her mother while un der the influence rt liquor. Dr. John. II. Comfort, of No. 253 West Twentieth street, testified that he was physician to the family ol Mr. Janisch. Last September he was called upon to attend deceased for scalds, which her mother said she received by falling into a pail of hot' water. There was nothing that excited his suspicions, although there were remarks made by the neighbors to which now he attaches some weight. At 8:30 o'clock last Saturday morning Mr. Janisch called on .' nim ana stated that came was burned again. Calling on the patient the doctor found the child in convulsions, with evidences ot congestion ot the brain. He told the parents that the child could not live. When the father came for him he said that Carrie had been burned by Its mother on the stove. He went to Janisch 's house with the impression that something was wrong. On entering the apartment where deceased lived, he met ner mother, who said that the child was burned while in a fit. The second burning recalled an Incident to the doctor which occurred at the time of the first Durning. The mother ran to him very niach contused and said, "Doctor, you must not say anthlng. I might have sent for a dispensary doctor, but he might think thai I burned the child." She was then intoxi cated. The father, when he came to bim the first time, said that his wife attempted to kill the child. When be came to look at the child, a woman was present, and, pointing at Mrs. Janisch, said, "TOU HAVE DONE IT." The child was burned from the sole of her feet to the hips. Janisch always appeared sober. The doctor did not think that the husband and wife lived very happily to gether. Mrs. Theresa Donohue, a next door neighbor to the Janisches, testified that on Friday morning she heard a little boy cry ing, "Mother, take the baby off thettove." She heard the mother say several times, "Shut up." The boy continued to cry, when Mrs. Donohue went on the fare escape, loosed into Jarnsens win dow and saw the baby sitting on the stove, crying "Mother, take me off." She taw Mrs. Janiscb standing near the closet. Mrs. Donohue looked in at the window only a moment, but called her husband, and with his assistance broke open tne door. Mrs. Janisch was foaming at the mouth aud her eyeballs protruded. Ine door to her room was locked ana required great force to open it. Michael Donohue, the husband of the fore going witness, corroborated her testimony, and testified In addition that on bursting open the door, Mrs. Janiscb would not allow him to enter the room, and cried "Murder" and "Watch." Mrs. Janisch did not send any one for a physician, and there was nothing done lor the relief of the child untill the father came home several hours later. Mrs. Elizabeth Moran-of No. G39 Wash ington street, testified that she heard a child's voice saying, "Oh, mamma, take me on; I won't tell papa." Charles Henry Janiscb, brother of the de ceased, testified that his mother took Carrie out of bed aud made her sit on the stove. When Carrie cried to be taken off her mother said she would not take her off until her father came home. Charles Angust Janisch, the father of the deceased, testified that he went to work at the Christopher street ferry at 3 o'clock in the morning and returnei at 7 o'clock for breakfast. lie fore going -up stairs he heard some one say that something was the mat ter. lie ran up stairs and found tne room filled with smoke. lie looked for his chil dren and found bis little girl in bed calling to mm, "Oh, papa, MOTHER BURNED ME." His wife was in the front room at the ti me Witness sent for linseed oil and bound up the child's wounds. He did not think that the injuries were serious, and did not send for a doctor until the following day. His wife drank heavily, and was subject to fits when under the influence of liquor. Caroline Klappmann, No 205 East Thirtyninth street, testified that she attended de ceased after the had received the injuries. While she was applying the bandages she heard the child say, "My mother did it." The mother was very kind to her children when sober, but when under the influence of liquor she whipped them severely. Deputy Coroner Simeon N. Leo, who made a post mortem examination on the body ot Carrie Janisch, testified that the whole posterior portion of both legs, as well as the spies of both feet, were completely denuded of skin, which bad apparently Ceeled off from the effect of scalds. The ack part of the thighs and the body furnished undeniable evidence of having been subjected to a roasting. In his opinion, death was the result of shock and exhaustion, caused by the burns. The jury found that Carrie Janisch came to her death by shock and exhaustion following burns received on Friday morning, November 20, through being placed upon a stove by her mother, at No. 639 Washington street, and further unanimously believed that the mother of the child was sensible at the time. To the questions put by Coroner Kessler, Mrs. Isabella Janiscb answered that she was forty years of age, and that she was born in Ireland. When asked if ehe had anything to say relative to the charge preferred against her, she said, "I have nothing to say and remember nothing." She was committed to the Tombs to await the action of the grand jury. The papers on the inquest will be sent to the district-attorney. JULES VERNE. THE PERSONAL SKETCH OF A POPULAR WRITER SOME INCIDENTS IN HIS LIFE. The New York World contains the following sketch of an author now very popular as a juvenile writer: Jules Verne, one of the most popular writers cf the day, is cow lorty-slx years of age. He is of middle height say five live feet nine and wears a full beard. lie looks a little like the portraits of Alfred De Musset, but without the sickly, melancholy look of the poet. Verne U bronzed by the air ol many a eea voyage, and is the very picture of health. His movements are quick and nervous, his words crisp and short in conversation, and his eyes roving and observant. His hair is white and his beard gray. He is the owner of a small skiff, and spends hours ia pulling about upon the river, and on tho sea in summer. He has a yacht also, with ten sailors on board, and makes voyages every season about the coast of Franc-?. Hut ho is not tho only traveler of li's fa nly. His brother, Paul Verne, made the lortieth French ascrnsion ol Mont Blanc, and came near losing his life. Jules Verne makes Dr. Ox tell the story in one of his books, and ends it with the following piece of advice "However, I would not counsel anyone to mike an asern".od, tho results of which can ntvor have nn importance at all in proportion to tLodan-

gers, and to th risk one runs for hims9lf and others." Jules Verne's books now sell better than any others, and yet he had A VERY HARD STRUGGLE atfi ret, although he had Alexander Dumas for his friend. For twenty years he was a frequent visitor to the house of the author of Monte Christo. Among his other friends was a queer character named D'Arpentigny, a former army officer who pretended to have invented a new science, that of chirognom-

ony. lnis was the art or reading the char acter of peoplo upon their hands, CJ a sort ol palmistry. Yet ne was an agreeable companion, talked well, 'and furnished a vast amount ef amusement with his mania for looking at everybody's hand. One day he dropped in upon Dumas. "One of my friends ha3 shipped to me from Nantes " "Some fresh sardines?" interrupted Du mas. "No; a young man who wants to enter the literary profession." .' "Le malbeureanx!" exclaimed Dumas, Why, in the world could he not have made himself a grocer?" "it appears," said D'Arpentigny, "that he was not qualified. He did not have the neceFBary aptitudes. I have examined his hands which, I must tell you are full ol manuscripts." "He is a lost man! What shall we do?" "He wants to make your acquaintance." "Bring him to dinner." ' The young man who responded to this invitation, and sat at Dumas' table tha next day, was Jules Verne, author of the Tour du Monde, and other works familiar in every country. The next day he sent a comedy to Dumas, called "Let Pailles Rompues." It was read, and the great author's only reply was, "We will present that to the Theater Ilistorique." The piece was received and played with great success. Since then. Jules Verne has devoted himsell to these imaginary voyages In which a traveler mounts his horse and starts off for the moon or elsewhere. He bad a brilliant debut, but it is only of late that his works have become universally popular. MOB HANGING. THE HANGING OF THREE NEGROES BY A MOB THE PROVOCATION AND A HORRIBLE RETRI BUTION. The Evansville Courier of the 4th inst. contains the following in regard to an atrocity already alluded to by telegraph: One of our neighboring Kentucky towns was the scene, a few nights ago, of a lawless display of mob violence, which makes another blot upon the already spot ted paees of the history of the "dark and bloody cround." Our readers will remember that some weeks since the large distillery ot Wright fc Cartwell, of uniontown, Ky., about forty miles below this city, was burned by an incend iary and destroyed. The flames also com municated to other establishments, and Uniontown was the scene of a fire consuming property over $150,000 in value, About two weeks ago, three negroes named Alexander Ramsey, George Ramsey and George Moore, former employes of Mr. Cartwell, were arrested, charged with having burned the distillery, and the trial commenced the day after their ar rest. Nothing satisfactory was elic ited, however, by it, ' save that thirty gallons ot whisky were found ir their possession, but last week Moore confessed that be and his confederates bad settbepAace on nre. lie gave as their reason that Mr Cartwell had ejected from one of -bis houses the mother of the Ramseys, beause she was unable to pay the rent. The confes sion threw too denizens of Union town - into a state of excitement and threats of mob violence were made last Sunday night the officers secretly took the negroes to Morgan field, the county seat ot Union county, which ia situated about ten miles back of uniontown, and there con fined them in the cells of the county fail, but as no excitement was fell for day or two, it was thought the feeling aroused in the county by the confession had died out. Although the trans portation of the prisoners had been kept remarkably quiet, the act leaked out, and served to renew the feeling which had been aroused by the confession of the negroes. From Mr. B. A. James, con nected with the firm of G. Maghee & Co, who returned from a tour through Western Kentucky yesterday afternoon, we learn the particulars of this terrible affair. On Tues day night between 2 and 3 o'clock a party of about nay men, mounted on horses and WITH BLACK MASKS, concealing their faces, entered Morgan fie Id from the road leading from Uniontown They were under the guidance of a leader, who seemed to rule with despotic sway over the mob, and whose commands were implicitly obeyed by each member of the party. They rode immediately to the jail and a few quietly entered the jail yard. The jailor was aroused, and to his inquiries they replied they had a prisoner from Caseyville whom thev wished to place in his care. The keeper of the keys then opened the door, and a Eortlon ot the mob rushed into the jail, but eforo he could say a word, several revolvers were placed at his head, with the injunction that if be raised a voice he would be shot. While some of the maskers guarded the jailor, others remained mounted outside, keeping watch that they were not Interfered with. The leader and one or two others then took from the jailor his keys, and commenced to search in the cells for "the Ramsey boys" and Moore. The former were found together in one cell asleep, while Moore was found reposing on a pallet in another cell. The negroes were gruffly aroused from their sleep and told to come along. In fear and trembling, uncertain as to the meaning of this ' untimely disturbance, they got up, and began to realize with awakening sense that they were the victims of a mob. The poor negroes were conducted from their cells to the crowd outride and mounted upon one of the horses, and then led by the maskers to the altar of sacrifice. A few were lett to guard the dismayed jailor, who saw from their actions that they were in earnest. The mob went to a woods about aquarterof a mile from Morganfield, and under a big tree near the roadside they stopped. While on the expedition, and in the jail yard, not a word was spoken, but here the silejco was broken. A torch was lighted, which threw its lurid glare upon the surroundings, revealing terror in the faces of the captive negroes, whoso groans formed a strange contrast to the mirthful talk and loud laughter of some ot tue masked men. Without any ceremony three ropes were thrown over the limb of the tree and the leader then demanded of the negroes confession of their guilt, which was freely giveu.and even without time to mutter a prayer the ropes were placed AROUND THEIR NECKS, and in less time than it takes to toll it they were suspended by a portion of the mob, and the other cuds of tho ropes tied to trees. Ihe lights werej hastily extinguished, and mounting their steeds, the placo was deserted, the awful silence being ouly broken, it is f-upposoa, by tho noise of the contortions ot the victims of this terrible cut rage. After the jailor was released he t;ave the alarm, but the sentiment of the citizens was in favor of the mob, which none dared to oppose. On Wednesday morning . the bodies of tho colore 1 man were cut down r.od placed in loxes and taken to Unioutown, wLcro they were buried.

A correspondent of the Inter-Oc:anal Ajgos writes: Oa tho farm of Mr. Alex.

Bland, who lives avout five miles east of Argos, has been found a portion of the bones

oi an animal wnicn must have been, when Ii..-,. i . ! . i . . . . ; . : living, at least twice the size of the elephant J 1 rrr- I , I LJl'il . Romeo. A part of the head, that which un douhtedly formed the tkull or crown, is over eighteen iuches across, end about an inch thick. The underside is set off in , compartments and much resembles a Goodyear rubber door-mat. From the shape of one side, it appears that the eye must have been larger round than the crown of a man's hat. Thus far only three of the molar teeth have been found, which measure eight and a half inches in length each, thus making: the entire length of the molar teeth alone 42' Inches, Ray nothing about the eye tooth and the niDners. of which there are three. The teeth are in a state of almof-t perfect preservation, al though one of them was broken by rough usage. . Portions of tho backbone show that the spine must have been six inches in diameter, whi.e one of the rib ia four feet in length. A portion of what appears to be the shoulder blade is two feet across and four feet long, and weizba about sixtv pounds. Of fragments of bones there are about one hundred, among them some that have been recognized as those belonging to the mastodon. Two bones, one two feet and the other nine feet in length, which appear to belong to the same animal, were found close together. Various theories have been advanced as to what caused the bones of the two animals, the mastodon and the monster (be it whatever it might have been) to be intermixed, the most plausible of which being that, as that part oi the premises was formerly a lake, the ani mals then roaming the forest came thereto drink and fought to death, their heavy carcasses sinlrinz into the Quicksands that abound throughout this entire region. Mr. Bland has expressed his inteution of renewnztbe search next snrinz. believinz that additional trophies will reward hl3 labors. 16 has already been offered S500 for the colection he has thus far obtained, but refused the offer, thinking, perhaps, that he might as well be the owner of a bis thine as anv other man.

From 25 to 100 wagons were constantly awaiting their turns to uuload, although the laciiuies for unloading are ex Cfdlent. So great was tho throng that on Thursday and Friday it was very lato in the night before they were all unloaded. Thousands of bushels were bought at 60 and 61 cents a bushel. The money now being paid out for corn and hogs is doing more to bring about an equalization of the currency than all the legislation on earth could do, and financial matters are becoming better every day. That's the way to tell it. ST. JOSEPH OOUNTY. The school superintendent of South Bend is said by the Tribune of that place to be a capital shot and first-class hunter.

Medication is only successful when it Is rational, and it is rational only when it begins at the beginning. In other words, to cure a malady, its cause must be removed. Weakness, either general or local, is the origin of the great majority of diseases. Reinforce the vital energies, regulate digestion and secretion by strengthening the organs which perform those all-important functions, and dyspepsia, constipation, kidney and bladder complaints, uterine difficulties, impure circulation, and the thousand and one aliments which ure the consequences of debility, are completely, and In most cases permanently, removed. The best, safest and most agreeable tonic and alterative that can be employed tor this purpose is llostetter's Stomach Bitters. The experience of Si years, during which time it has outlived perhaps ten times that number of ephemeral preperatlons which have entered into competition with It, has proved it to be unequabed as a remedy for all disorders accompanied by or proceeding from weakness.

A SHORT POSTPONEMENT OF THE FIFTH GIFT CONCERT. As manager of the gift concerts given in aid of the Public Library of Kentucky, my position, creates an Important trust in behalf of the Publie Library and the ticket-holders of the fifth gift concert. The Public Library of Kentucky and the ticket holders are Jointly Interested in the amount of the drawing. The larger the fund 19 bedistributed in gifts, the greater will, be the gift awarded to each lucky ticket-holder, and the more the amount reat'zed by the Library. To have a full drawing is so manifestly tothe interest of those Interested, .that, rather than have a fractional drawing on the 3oth Inst., I deem It due to the trust confided to me by the ticket holders and the Public Library or Kentucky, that a short postponement ba made to enable me to dispose of t lie unsold tickets and have a lull drawing. Though the very large amount now in bank would enable us to distribute handsome gifts, yet we should teel disappointed in this, our last concert, should we be compelled to make a fractional drawing, howevr large. We have received so very large a number of letters from all parts of the country from those most largely Interested, urging a postponement if all the tickets be not sold by the ith, that we feel strengthened In our sense of duty to the ticket-holders and the Public Library, to make the postponement. Under the circumstances, we have determined, in the interest of ail parties, to postpone the concert and dravlig to Saturday, February 27. 1S75. at which time the drawing will positively take place; aLd. as a guarantee of good t-ith toward ticket-holders. we pledge ourselves to refund 4o any ticketholder his money, upon presentation of his ticket, should the drawing tail to come off at the day now fixed. The past, we feel assured. will be Bumclent guarantee to all Interested that they will be fauiy aud honestly dealt with. The money paid for tickets is sairedly preserved against all contingencies until alter the payment of the gifts, afier which the expenses are to be reimbursed and the Public Library 1 to be paid its profits.
