Presbyterian Church of Philadelphia, will
lecture on Thursday evening the 15th lnst.
at t!ie opera house upon the subject, "An
Evening with the "Witty and "Wise." Mr.
Peters will probably cr.ll out a large au
dience. He established for himself a repu
tation more than local when a resident of
thls-city, and always succeeded in crowding
Ids church. Judging from the accounts
given of his ministrations in the "city of
brotherly love," he has not been less suc
cessful there. He speaks vigorously and
advances his ideas with the utmost confi
dence and boldness. The people of Ottawa
will be glad to hear him again and ke un
doubtly will be not less pleased to meat
with them once more. The lecture which
Mr. Peters purposes giving is spoken of
very highly by the J'mt of Philadelphia
and other cities. Tickets can be procured

from our Etwilar Correspondent.)
Washington, July 5th, 1S8G.
Congress has been wrangling all week
over the money bills which provide for run
ning the Government during the next fiscal
year. The subject sounds like a dry one,
but tho congressional debutes have not been
dull. Appropriation bills always provoke
much disagreement and afford an opportun
for discussing the comparative extravagance
and economy of the two parties.
The Nation's balance sheet has just been
drawn up again. The Government's book
keepers have footed up their account for the
fiscal year that came to an end on June 30,
anl the figures are even more satisfact
ory than could have been expected. The
receipts exceeded the expenditures by $90,
52H(346. The receipts and expenditures for
the fiscal year compared with the last pre
ceediDg one, shows an increase of revenue of
about $12,500,000 and a decrease in the ex
penditures of about $14,500,000. Custom
receipts are some $11,000,000 better, inter"
nal revenue 4,500,000 and miscellaneous
some ?:!,000,000. The ordinary expenses
are $22,400,000 less than last year, interest
is nearly $1,000,000 less and pensions arc
!?8,G00.0U0 more.
Yes, during the year just closed the Pen
sion Office issued 81,422 pension cereificates,
a larger number by G,T2l than ever were
issued in any previous year. And when it
is remembered that this immense work has
been performed with a force of clerks less by
over 10J than for the three previous, there
rectus to be suflicieHt reason for congratulat
ing the present Commissioner of Tensions,
Gen. Black upon retrenchment in his office.
At a recent Cabinet meeting the question
of how many telephones were in use at the
several executive departments of the Govern-"
ment in this city came up. The President
asked each of his Secretaries how many in
the department over which he presided used.
The Attorney General said two. Secretary
Lamar gave what he thought was his number,
and so on around. They made up about
fifty altogether. The President asked them
to look inte the matter, and :eport at the
next meeting. They did and Attorney Gen.
Garland was only one who had made a cor
rect return. The total was one hundred and
fifty. The average cost of each telephone
because the departments have a number of
special wires, is $100 a year.
Thus for telephonic service for the depart
ments in this city alone, the Government
pays nearly $15,000 a year. This was thought
to be too high by the Cabinet officers, and
retrenchment in this line has begun. Fifteen
telephones have already been taken out of
the Treasury department, leaving only one
on each floor.
The salaries of Government clerks comes
out of the Legislative, Executive and Judi

cial Appropriation bill. The failure of Con
gress to pass it by the close of the old fiscal
year caused an unusual outlook for the new.
The departments oponed on trust July 1st, it
being against the law to make any contracts
for services in excess of appropriations. "So
vou are without pay," was the remark made
-
to a government clerk; "that must be un
comfortable." He showed no anxiety on
the subject, however. Said he: 'The pay ot
members of Congress is provided for in this
appropriation bill just the same as mine is.
So you see I am all right. Every Congress
man will see that I am provided for in time."
It was Senator Riddleberger who intro
duced the bill to reduce the salaries of Con-
gressmen and certain high offioials twenty
five per cent. This reminds me of the difli
eulty of getting good business men t take
the responsible places in the departments.
There is no trouble at all in getting ward
politicians for these places; but it has been
the President's idea to get good business men.
Such men come here occasionally tempted by
the allurements of office, although they can
do much better in private life. For instance,
the U. S. Treasurer, Mr. Jordan, has a stand
ing flice in private life of exactly double
what he receives in his present official posi
tion. He is considered, by the way, the
ablest treasurer that has filled that office
since it was first created.
Secretary Lamar recently asked a wealthy
business man to hunt him up a good business
man for Chief Clerk of the Interior depart
ment. How much can you pay such a man?
inquired the capatilht, who, himself, em.
ployes about four hundred men. Twenty
five hundred dollars, replied the Secretary.
Oh, said the visitor, I cannot furnish him. I
pay $10,000 a year for the services of sueh
a men as you have described. The new ad
ministration has been fortunate, however, in
securing the services of men to whom it
would be economy to pay very large salaries
iurder to retain them.

The Pall Mall Gazette says that, apropos of
the expulsion of the French princes, a lover
of statistics has drawn up a list or tue mon-
archs who have come to an untimely or
Isrnomlnious end. According to this author
ity, the world has had 2,550 kings or emper
ors, who have reigned over 74 peoples. Of
these :t00 were overthrown, 04 were lorceu
tn abdicate. 28 committed suicide, 2.5 be
came mad or imbecile, 100 were killed in
battle, 123 were captured by the enemy, 25
were tortured to death, 151 were assasslnat
ed, and 108 were executed. Uneasy lies
tho head, indeed !
