Although a verdict in its favor was rendered long since, it is still on trial. Never when It has been “weighed in the balance" has it been found wanting. The name of this medicine is Hostetter'S Stomach Bitters, which more speedily th in any other terminates those villainous sensations which attend disorder of the liver. It expels bile from the blood and secretions, remedies chronic costiveness, and reenforces the organ of digestion and assimilation. Sick headache, yellowness of the skin and eyeballs, furred tongue, and other indications that the liver has temporarily knocked off work and gone on a strike, disappear when it is used. It is a most efficient safeguard against malaria, rheumatism, and kidney trouble, and fortifies a nervous and enfeebled invalid effectually.

Revised Figures Presented to Secretary Carlisle Giving the Condition of the National Treasury—Secretary Morton's Department—lnternal Revenue Bureau Report. Total Stock of Money. United States Treasurer D. N. Morgan has submitted to Secretary Carlisle his annual report on the operations and condition of the treasury. It shows that the net ordinary revenues for the fiscal year 1893 were $385,819,628, an increase of $30,881,844 over those of the year before. The net ordinary expenditures were $383,447,554, an increase of $38,454,623. ’ There was, therefore, a decrease of $7,772,779 in the surplus revenue, reducing them to $2,341,674. Including the public debt the total receipts were $732,871,214 and the total expenditures $773,007,998. Tho public funds amounted on June 30,1892, to $786,351,895, and on June 30, 1893, to $746,538,655. After setting apart tho e sums of gold, silver and the United States notes which were held for the redemption of certificates of deposit and treasury notes there was left a reserve, or general fund, of $187,012,740 in 1892 and $168,167,391 in 1893. These amounts, however, included certain sums of certificates of deposit, bonds and coupons which were unavailable for any other purpose than tho settlement of the treasurer's account, and which, if canceled, would have left an actual available working balance of $165,945,886 and $156,295,169 on the two dates, respectively. By Sept. 30 this balance had been diminished to $149,250,268, owing to a deficiency in the revenue. In seven months, beginning with last December, upward of $81,000,000 was drawn out of the Treasury in redemption of notes, and the gold reserve was reduced during the same period by $29,000,000. During the next three months, with light redemptions and a deficiency of $19,000,000 in the revenue, the Treasury lost $15,000,000 of gold, but the reserve fell off only $2,000,000. Th? amount of gold during the fiscal year was the largest ever taken out of the ; country or brought into it in a । like period, being upward of SIOB,i 600,000, and that $102,000,000 of ' it was drawn out of the treasury by tho ’ presentation of legal-tender notes, i Most of the gold exported in former • years was supplied by the treasury in ; exchange for gold certificates, and'the ■ report says that, it is the first time that any considerable sums of notes have । been presented for the metal. With the exception of an increase of $45,500,000 in the amount of treasury notes, issued in the purchase of silver bullion, and a decrease of $80,000,000 In the combined volume of gold certificate's and currency certificates, there has ; been, tho report says, no important i change in the public debt. According to the revised estimate the total sreck of money of all kinds in the country on June 30 was $2,323,547.977, or nearly $51,000,000 less than at the same time last year. This contraction took place notwithstanding the addition of $45,5)0,000 to the stock of silver and an increase of $6,000,000 in the outstanding bank notes, and was caused by the export of gold. Tn July, however, there began a heavy return Tnnwrrmn-rvr nf +hn wmtnl, cnpjinrtvrl hr a rapid expansion of bank-note circulation. By the end of September the stock of gold was restored to what it was • when the exports began. The to- ; tai increase of the effective stock .of money in the three months i was no lower than $95,000,000, , bringing it up to a figure much above the highest ever reached before, j The treasurer remarks that this sudden ' contraction and expansion within the j space of eleven months affords a strikj ing illustration of the degree of flexibil- ' ity possessed by the currency. The ret vised figures for the. amount of money lin circulation, that is outside.the treas- ! ury on June 30, place it at $1,596,846,I 829, or about $6,001,090 less than it was ' a year before. During the four months j ended with October there was an in- | crease of $125,000,000, a record altogether without parallel in the history of the country. The redemption of United States paper currency has been unusually heavy, amounting to $377,i 000.010 in the fifteen months ended | with October. j During the last two fiscal years there was recoined nearly one-fifth of the whole estimated stock of silver, an improvement, the report says, that is expected to increase the popularity and usefulness of this part of the currency. Contrary to _ expectations, the Columbian souvenir coins have not proved popular. Some of them were never taken out of the Treasury and others have been returned for redemption. An arrangement has been in contemplation under which the half-dollars in the Treasury will be recoined at the expense of the management of the Exposition. It has not yet been decided : what disposition is to be made of the ■ quarter dollars of this coinage not dis- i posed of. SECRETARY MORTON’S REPORT. The Head of the Agricultural Department Shows What He Has Done. The Secretary of Agriculture, in his report submitted to the President, re- I grots the vague character of the de- I partment organization, which he says, “offers opulent opportunities for the ' exercise of the most pronounced pater- 1 nalism,” but he adds that there are i many proper ways in which the Fed- i oral Government may legitimately ' | serve the cause of agriculture. He dei votes considerable space to a review of । what he regards as an anomalous j partnership between the Government of the United States and the governments of tho respective States ' for the conduct and encourage- I ment of State agricultural colleges | and experiment stations. Referring to ! the sum appropriated for the use of ; State experiment stations, he says: “This appropriation is unlike any other ! public moneys legislated out of the : treasury of the United States because i there is no officer of the United States I authorized to direct, limit, control or i audit its itemized expenditures.” Ho suggests that the stations should be entirely divorced from the department and the sum appropriated charged directly to them, or that the Secretary should have some power to direct and restrain their disbursements so as to insure a legitimate expenditure of the same. He adds that in view of the

rumors that have obtained credence in some of the States and Territories to the effect that moneys appropriated to the stations have been diverted from ; their legitimate purposes, a thorough investigation should be made to demonstrate either the truth or falsity of such reports. In reference to expenditures the Secretary states that his strenuous endeavor, in view ot a depleted public ■ trea-ury and of the imperative demands of taxpayers for economy in tfee administration of the Government, has been to “rationally reduce expenditures by the elimination from the pay rolls of all persons not needed for an efficient conduct of the affairs of the department.” The distribution of feeds at the public expense is i eviewed at ' length and its growth traced from the 1 year 1839, when Commissioner cI Patents Ellsworth obtained an appropriation of SI,OOO for the purpose of collecting and distributing rare varieties of seed and for other purposes. He shows a considerable saving to have been effected in the purchase and the distribution of the seed this year. The work of the Bureau < f Animal Industry is reviewed in detail. The result of the Texas fever regulations is pronounced to be highly satisfactory, but to increa e their efficiency it is suggested that a penalty should attach, for violation of the depa> tment regulations by railroad companies transporting infected cattle. A further reduc^ tion has been effected by vessel inspec- j tion in the percentage of cattle lost atl sea, the ratio being for the last ye^M less than one-half of 1 per cent. The^ law at present dees not provide for the inspection <f horses impoited into the country and an amendment in this lespect is suggested. As regards meat inspection the micrescopt. cal inspection has been greatly reduced, the intention being to confine it rigidly to products intended for direct export to countries exacting the same. Promiscuous free distribution of publications is condemned, and the suggestion made that, after supplying certain copies free to libraries and'educational institutions, a moderate price should bo charged for the remaining copies. Os the weather bureau i-t is stated that the work ha; been carried on with improved efficiency and economy, a reduction in cost of maintenance of nearly 10 per cent, being effected, and estimates for the fiscal year being correspondingly reduced. INTERNAL REVENUE REPORT. Kccripts for the Current Fiscal Year Will Ke Less than the Estimates. Joseph Miller, the Commissioner of Interna! Revenue, has submitted to Secretary Car isle his rep< rt of tho i operations of the bureau f< r the fiscal year ended June 30. 1893. and also certain additional information relating to tho collections' made and work performed during the first three months of the current fiscal year. It is a long document of over 200 printed pagesand includes a numl er of tables containing much statistical information on the operation of the bureau, some of which date back for thirty I years. ’ The report shows that the receipts from all sources of internal revenue have increased fr. m $116,902,869 for the fiscal year 1886 to $161,004,9^9 in L s 93. The e timates of the last commissioner « f internal revenue were that the receipts of 1893 would reach $165,0 ki,(oi, but owing to the general business depression Mr. Miller says this amount was not realized. He estimates that the receipts for the fiscal year will be The receipts for the fiscal year 1892 । were $153,857,544. The receipts for 1893 were made up as follows: Spirits, $91,720,260, an increase of $3,410,276 over tho previous year; tobacco, $31.889,771. an increase of $88'1,218: fer- । mented liquors. $32,548,983, an increase of $2,51f,530: ole'margarine, $i,670,643, an increase of $404,317; and miscellaneous. $175,390, a decrease of $67,898. The receipts from internal revenue for he first three ; months of the fiscal year 1894 ! have been $36,874,402, a decrease of ; $5,519,143 as compared with the first ■ three months of the fiscal year 1893. Os this decrease $3,830,858 has been in the taxes on spirits and $],528,882 on tobacco. The cost of collecting the revenue during 1893 was $4,219,7(9. The expenses ;for the previous fiscal ■ year were $4,315,946. being 2.80 per ; cent, of the collections. ’The estimated j expenses for 1895 are $4,498,580. Powderly Forced Out. T. V. Powderly has resigned his posii tion of. Generar Master Workman of I the Knights of Labor.

A Loathsome Spot in India. • 0^ the innumerable curious sights of India is the Nuggar tank of Kurachi. In former times the crocodi!es which inhabit it roamed the neighborhood at their will, seeking whom they might devour, but so great were their depredations that the authorities were Lucnl to build a wall around their haunt. This is a swamp, caused by hot springs, the med cinal virtues of which have been known from early times, and are attributed to the sanctity of a Mohammedan whose tomb is close by, and to whom tho crocodiles are sacred. The tank, as it is called, is about 15 > yards by ab ut half that distance in b eadth. In this Epace one observer counted over 2' 0 •'•■cptiles, from eight to fifteen feet long, yknd smaller ones innumerable. They ^are so tame, in a sense, that it is necc-- • sary to poke them with a stick before ■Whey will move. Buffaloes are always ■ ,'tanding in the water, and are not atwaeked, but any oth r animal is instantly seized. “The whole appearP n ce of the place,” says one writer, f'with its green, slimy, s agnant water, and so many of these huge, uncouth monsters moving sluggishly about, is disgusting in the extreme', and it will long be remembered by me as the most loathsome spot ever beheld.”—Chambers’ Journal.

Ought to Know.

Au j exchange tells the story: Sir Henry Howorth sat at dinner ■ next to a lady whose mind seemed full j of the diseases and distresses of her pet dog, and who bombarded Sir Henry with questions as to what should be done for the animal. Not being satisfied with his replies, she finally expres-ed her great disappointment at his ignorance and remarked: “Well, Sir Henry, I must say I did

Two Things about Catarrh in the Head First —lt is a constitutional disease. Prof. Gross, a leading scientist, says: "Catarrh is a constitutional disease which manifests itself by local symptoms." Dr. Dio Lewis says: "Catarrh is not a disease of the mau’s nose; it is a disease of the man." Therefore he says snuffs and other local applications are useless. Second—lt requires a constitutional remedy, like Hood’s Sarsaparilla, which reaches and cures Catarrh by purifying the blood and building up the system, so as to throw off the disease. Thousands who formerly suffered from Catarrh agree that Hood’s Pills are carefully prepared i.nd are made of the best ingredients. Try a box.

Irving’s Manuscripts. Some years ago a nephew of Washington Irving, a young man entirely unlike his distinguished uncle either in intellectual or moral qualities, ap- ! peared at his home in central New York after a long hunting trip, says the New York Press. He was an adventurous character, fond of sports, : but not fond of books. One day he took from his valise a thick bundle of paper with which, he said to a friend, he was going to clean his guns, the quality ot paper being such as was especially adapted for that purpose. Some of the sheets he did take to remove the foulne-s from his fowlingpieces, but before he made use of all ol this paper it was discovered that they we e . manuscripts of some of W ashington Irving’s sketches, which had been returned after' the printers were through with them. Where the young man found them is not known, but a gentleman living in Geneva secured what was left of the manuscripts and kept the sheets as a most valuable curiosity. The very newest fashion among the ladies of St. Petersburg is to arm themselves with long canes when they go abroad. Some of these canes measure six feet to seven feet in length; and as the ladies walk along, they seem, at a distance, stalwart amazons, who have supplied themselves with small scaffolding poles or plucked up young trees.
