County Clerk Morgan during his seven years serviceaas such officer has become so familiar.bud well acquainted with the wants of the people that he can tell at a glance as soon as the person enters the door just what is wauted. Some persons when wanting a marriage license are a little bit bashful about I lie matter and the clerk generally breaks the ice by getting the necessary articles together and asks the name and age and goes right ahead making out the marriage license, and before the candidate-for-matrimony is aware of the fact he is going down in his pockets for the necessary two dollars with which to pay the clerk for his trouble. Mr. Morgan rel^tgs some cuiious experiences about persons warning license and just how bashful and particular they are about not wanting anybody to know of-ifie happy event. During the past year the county clerk has issued 201 marriage licenses, an increase over that of last year; and shows conclusively that marriage is not a failure.

The daily papers contained 4he following Washington news yesterday relative to the finances of the treasury. It will show the terrible calamity iu which the late republican administration left the finances of the country. “The prospects are that during the present week the available cash balance of the treasury will reach a figure lower than has ever been recorded in its history. At the close of business Saturday the balance as stated on the books of the treasury was 190.487,268 and it is generally expected that it will fall below the uinety million during this week. This total balance on the 1st Instant was $95,199,616, showing a reduction during the month of $4,712,848. The loss, however, has fallen more largely upon the gold reserve. The marked excess of expenditures over receipts, it is now believed, will show a deficiency in the revenues at the close of the calauder year of, approximately, $37,000,000.” v
