Very few people, if any, outside of the navy yard officials, have auy idea of the circumlocution and red tape necessary, under present rulee and regulations, for the payment for the smallest article purchased for use in the navy. A case in point is worth bringing to the notico of our renders. The navy department is something like a man having a coat with eight pockets in it. The department con sists of eight bureaus, each one hav ing separate appropriations made by congress for the purchase of every thing it requires. There is one thing that every bu reau has an appropriation for and that is the item of ice. The contract is let ever' year and each office in the navy yard at Mare island is al lowed a certain quautity. Of course it is all paid for out of different ap propriations. Last year the con tract was let to a party in Vallejo, and wo now wish to explain the modus operandi of payment, for the benefit of our readers, whicu to a business person on the outside will appear sublimely ridiculous. The contractor is paid for the ice on the 30th of December and the 30th of June of every Gscal year. As there are eight bureaus it requires eight sets of public bills, each set consist ing of five vouchers; these vouchers must ue signeu oy tue senior mem bers of the board of inspection that the ice was of good quality, etc. Then they go to the general storekeeper for bis certificate that he received the ice aud that it was accordiug to con tract. Then they go to tho command ant for his approval; then go to Washington for the approval of the paymaster -general, who npproves and then sends them to the navy pay of- Lfice at San Francisco, the contrac tor in a few daysgettiug his money. Our readers will see that iu paying for tho ice for the first half of the fiscal year it requires forty vouch ers and two hundred signatures; and this is not all nor half. hen the ice is received it must bo in voiced to the heads of the eight dif ferent departments, aud these vouch ers are iu triplicate and require three signatures each. Thus it will be seen that there must be twenty-four vouch ers and seventy-two signatures added to the nnmber mentioned elsewhcro. This is tho routine goue through with on the 30th of every December, nnd the same thing is goue through again on the 30th of June, but there is more to come. As overy contract has a proviso that 20 per cent shall be deducted from every payment un til the contract is completed, reserva tion bills must bo made out, which requires forty vouchers nnd two bun dred signatures to bo added to those already mentioned; so. taking it all iu all, the payment for the one item of ice for tho Mare Island navy yard requires in the aggregate 1G8 vouch ers and 744 signatures! Comment is unnecessary. This will seem incred ible, but it is a fact nevertheless. Yallejo Chronicle. Chills and Ferer. Malaria. "Many cases of fever and ague, dumb ague and congestive chills were prompt ly arrested and entirely banished ly the use of Simmons Liver lleculator.

An old merchant upon entering a store recently opened by two young men, remarked: '"Boys, remember that eternal vigilance is the price of liberty. Yon caunot afford to be away from your business. The very man 3011 desire to see is likely to make his appearance when you are out. If you are always on hand there will be fewer occasions for regret than if you are in the habit of frequently being out." Severe as it may seem, the advice was sound,. Success costs self denial in innumerable ways, aud knowing that it is required, let per sonal desires be surrendered in a cheerful spirit. The New York Jour nal of Commerce, iu discussing the ounce of prevention, very pertinently says that "a large part of what the sufferers designate as mishaps, casu alties, accidents, calamities or misfor tunes, are the result of a want of due precaution by which they might have been averted, or so guarded against as not to result in hopeless disaster. It is an old story that for want of a nail the shoe, for want of a shoe the horse, for want of a horse the messenger, and for want of a message the crown, was lost each in inevitable succession. '"An old horseman, who was always on the road before the days of the railway, used to say that every man who rode trusted his life to rusting iron aud rotting leather. When asked how it was that he had kept unharm ed for a quarter of a century from these decaying material?, he answered that it was due to the blessing of the Lord on his const int vigilance Ho made a daily inspection of overy loop, strap, buckle, bolt and joint of the veuicle and harness in bis outfit, and never allowed auy worn place to go beyond the line of absolute security from ordinary strain iu the service. Ho gavo himself the benefit of every doubt. Even a shoo that might last another day was always reset before he started, so that his horso need not be barefoot far away from tho shop of tho smith." "A keen observer of tho phenomena of failures iubusiues? undertakings of all sorts has often affirmed to us that there was never a case brought to his notice, where ho had a good opportunity to investigate its history, that he was not able to put his finger on tho loose rivet or the rotten plank (metaphorically .speaking) that led up to tho misfortune. This i.s oftener true than those who have boon 1111 for tunate iu their enterprises are willing to acknowledge. There are many who deem themselves the sport of ad verso elements and the victims of an inexorable fate, who are simply suffer ing from their heedless disregard of the simplest rulc3 by the observance of which success in their choseu call iug could have been made reasonably seoure. Wo are not referring to those who Bleep iu harvest time, and of course are hungry in winter, or to tho sluggard who is always in want bo- cause ho is too lazy to toil for his bread; but to those well meaning and industrious persons, who fancy that success is a matter of destiny, and who do not make a wise provision against possible emergencies likely to give character to their whole career."
