"About a year ago I began using Ayer'a

NAVY YAED EED TAPE.
One .Bill Eequires 168 Vouchers and
744 Signatures.
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.

CONSTANT VIGILANCE.
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."
