A Treasury official states that the receipts from the tobacco tax have fallen off over SO percent, in the past sixty days as compared with the receipts in the same period last year, owing entirely to the agitation of the tax reduction question.

Census bulloiin No. 802 affords Urn means, in connection with previous censuses, of tracing the industrial growth of the United States. In I860 the number of manufacturing establishments' 128,029, and in 1860 there wore but 140,488. In the next decade, howcw, there was an amazing increase to 252,148, and the figures tor 1880 are substantially the sivme. The ciiftl- tal shows a different rnto of -ineronso.

Starting In 1860 with $688.216,361, there was an increase of 100 per cent, to In 1860. another doubling to In 1870, nml very small comparative Increase to In 1880. But these figures, it must bo understood, are nearly worthloBs. Even regarding stock companies, which have a certain nominal capital, the returns on this head are misleading, and as regards private manufactures, It is tain that they neither can nor will make returns possessing statistical value. A four-fow Increase is the correction suggested by former census authorities.

In the hands employed there was an increase from 958,079 in 1860 to 1,311.246 in 1860, 2,068,996 In 1870, and 2,738,760 In 1880. In 1880 the total was own- posed of 181,918 females over 16 years, and 2,026,270 males over 16. In 1860 the WHMH paid wore in 1860, in 1870, $776,684,848. and in 1880, $947,919,674. That is, in 1880 the weekly wage for each working man, woman, and child was about $6.60.

Really the wages were larger, for it docs not include the sums received by 'proprietors of shops, who made their living out of "profile." The materials consumed were valued at $656,174.320 in 1860, $1.031,606,092 In 1860, $2.488,427.242 In 1870, and $8,894,840,029 in 1880. The products increased from $1,019,109,616, in 1860 to $1.885,861,676 in 1860. In 1870 there was a stulclen leap to $4,232,826,442, which reached $5,869,667,706 in 1880. In the decade from 1860 to 1870 Pennsylvania madf such gains on New York that it was a vory good second. But in 1880, Now York appears winner by.

What is lovoP Love Is keeping a tun dollar family on a six dollar salary. When a young man kisses a girl and calls it heaven, It shows plainly that, ho doesn't know any more about hanvc.n than a gosling knows about Boothoveu's sonatas. Love is like beer, It.gets fiat it is uncorked all the time. Some girls can't toll thoilifTurunoc! between love and taffy. A baby is love materialized.

Whenever love has to play second Isd- dle, it is time to break up the htinil. Love will raakoa'inan spit on his hands and take another hold whim every other power on earth has bucked out and given it up as-a bad job. Love is worth two dollars and a half a bushel to auy man or woman living. The-Drummer. A cold is unlike most you want to get rid of it, you must give it a warm reception with Dr.
