O'Rourke disappeared, and after a prolonged absence returned with the monstrous announcement that the thermometer stood at 820! Mr. Bilkins looked at the man closely. He was unmistakably sober.

Notwithstanding the cessation of revenue from the so-called seceded States during the last fiscal year, the increase of the correspondence of the loyal States has been sufficient to produce a revenue during the same year of $8,299,820.90, being only $50,000 less than was derived from all the States of the Union during the previous year. The expenditures show a still more favorable result.
Still, it possesses a marked value, for the reason already stated, and is attractive by reason of its numerous illustrations, all engraved on steel from original designs, comprising portraits, battle-scenes, diagrams and maps.

Again, in E. 313, AEneas is spoken of as the son of Aphrodite and the neat-herd, Anchises. The AEneid is constructed on this hint; the Romans claiming to be of Trojan descent through AEneas.
This item of $820,000,000 for interest is a heavy charge on all the people of the country, and it seems to me that we might well consider whether it is not greatly worth while to dispense with it as early as possible by retiring the principal debt which it is required to serve. It has always been our policy to retire our debts.
