According to the St. Louis
Globe-Democrat the Gennan
salary list oontains some interest
ing items. Chancellor Bismarck
receive sen annual stipend of $18,
000 and the free use of Vis palace,
together with an extra allowance
of .pearly $7,000 fdr the mainten
ance of the furniture, linen and
utensils of the palace and the
gardens connected therewith.
Thesecretarr of state for foreign
affairs Count Hatzfcldt is paid
17,000 per annum with certain
perquisities. "But the ambassa
dorsat London and St. Petersburg
take "the prize compensations for
their servicos to the government,
gcttlng'tSSO.OOO apifce per annum;
their colleague in" Paris receives
iOtG00, heat Constantinople the
hairte'j unci he at the Vaiican $""3,
000. The governor of Alsace
Lorraine is paid $GO,000 a year,
but he is' not exactly a public
functionary. The ambassador at
Vienna gets '44,000, the one at
Pelcin $20fo"o6; and the one at
Tolcio $15,000. From these
amounts the salaries shade down
to-moderate stipends to consuls,
the consuls general, however,
being paid from 5,000 to 10,000,
the latter amount the largest on
the list, going to the one at New
York. Most of the ambassadors
are "found,' and those at the
Vatican and with the Porte have
in their suite official "preachers,"
paid by the state.

experiencing a most disastrous
drought. At Manchester, N. H.,
2,000 operators are idle, and the
mills, arc shutting down. The
product of the Maine sawmills has
heuiieduced 20,800,000 feet. The
rivers are lower than for half a
century. The mills on the Penob
scot lose over 100,000. Establish
ments on the Kennebec, Rosscog
"gin, and' Saco are likewise crip
pled. In southeastern Maine hun
dreds of persons are compelled to
resort to snow water, and the
.cattle arc-driven miles to ponds
ami creeks. "The Merrimac river
is lower than over. The great
mills at Nashua and Great Falls,
besides those at Manchester, are
running on half to two-thirds time,
and the losses of employers and
employes are enormous. The rain
Tall for 1SS2 throughout the region
is barely half an average. There
has been no January thaw.
The Railway Age of Dec. 28th
contains a table showing that the
"nulnbpr of miles of main track
laid in the United States during
the year was 10,821, on 31G lines,
in thirty-four states and territories.
It is thought that full returns will
raise the total to 11,000 miles,
which is l,"500moTc than the total
IortS9l. The states showing the
largest amount of railway .construc
tion are: Iowa,033; Texas, S17;
New York, 752; Ohio, 55; Arkan
sas,: 320; 'Indiana, 521; Colorado,
500; Dakota territory, -ISO; Penn
sylvania, 404.; and Minnesota, 444.
Of the 31 G roads noted, 140 are
still incomplete. The capital
invested during the year is esti
mated at $270,000,000, excusive
of thq amounts expended in the
preparation of the roadbeds on
which tracks are not yet laid.
In more than one eastern state
rt-fe Seriously proposed to devise
some statutory provision whereby
citizens may be compelled to vote.
The fact furnishes a singular com
mentary on our elective rights
and political franchises. It would
Mjem from statistical figures that
the less influence a voter has, the
Wore. likely he is to exercise his
right on election day, and that
those who art or apparently should
be the most interested, uniformly
stay awaj froin the polls. Citizen
ship is made too cheap to be val
ued at its true worth.

Tile importation of tin plates
into this country ha increased in
a remarkable degree within the
last few years. The imports in
1870 were 1,507,000 boxes; in
1875, 1,920,000 boxes; in 187G,
1,800,000 boxes; 1877, 2,U0,000
boxes; 1878, 2,100,000 boxes;
1879, 3,120,000 boxes; 1880, 3.
380,000 boxes; and in 1881, 3,600,-
000 boxes. There are about 20
boxes of common tin plate to the
long ton. Two of the chief causes
for the increased demand for tin
in the United States are found in
the enormous canning industry
and the growth of the tin-roofing
business.
Last Monday morning a party
of masked and mounted men rode
up to Montello station, on the
Central Pacific railroad, 1G0 miles
west of Ogden. overpowered the
section men.and awaited the arrival
of the express train which iht
captured. They spent thr
hours trying to get into "WVi!-,
Fargo's express car, but the agent
A. Y. Ross, barricaded his car
and fought them off. The baffled
villains rode off and Ross is de
servedly the hero of the occa
sion. A politician' in the early days,
looking upon the map of Massa
chusetts traced, according to the
plan of Elbridge Gerry, to jrive
the Federalists the smallest hhow
possible, exclaimed, "Jt looks like
a salamander!" A wit by his side
rejeined: "Oh no, not a sala
mander, but a Gerrymander"
and hence our word for that spe
cies of political trickery, which so
divides up a state as to secure the
success of a particular party.
Thi: London press received the
great sun-ilower Oscar Wilde, on
his return from America, with
sneers and derision. They speak
of him as a played-out humbug.
Oscar smiled and looked at his
bag of gold, gleaned from Ameri
can aesthetes.
The New York Si in spent $209,
392 for paper in 'S2, and issued
67,G27,0S5 printed sheets during
that year; the amount paid the
employes of that establishment
for the twelve months, aggregated
$381,049.74.
Tim mantle of prophecy has
fallen upon Claus Speckles, who
tells a "Washington correspondent
that he wouldn't be surprised if
"we" had to light China for the
possession of the Sandwich Islands
before long.
A Ritssiax traveler in the fa
lay peninsula claims to have found
in use there the smallest ""coin" in

made from the juice of a tree. Its
value is about the millionth part
of a dollar.
