The land men claim that the state
becomes bound for title to lauds so

the statute is the state's written part

The London death rate is 21 to

why Americans aredyiugout faster
thau other people laying down five
reasons : first eating to' much and
' too fast ; second driuki.ig too much ;
third gambling too much ; fourth
disappointed ambition ; fifth greed
of money. These reasons apply on-
ly to New Yorkers for in many
of the cities aud in tho rural dis-
tricts the death rate less even
thau in London ; and heuce Ameri-
cans are not dying out but are in-
creasing at a very respectable rate.
A GENTLEMAN COllUCCted With
Bayland Orphan Home boa beeu in
eorrespoudcuce with persons iu this
city regarding the condition of the
Home. It's couditiou is not good
and while every effort is being made
to make it sclt-sustaiuiug there is
lack of nieaus to provide for the
orphans aud tho buildings cf the
Home are in tbe saddest need of re-
pairs. A benevolent lady of this
city through her energy has lately
contributed somo substantial aid to
these orphans but they are in need
of many necessities without means
at command with which they may
be obtained. It has been suggested
because of a prccedcut set some
years ago that tho legislature bo
asked to contribute to the Home
either in lands or in 'money aud
certainly if it be in the power of the
state to give it could extend bouuty
to no more laudable purpose than
in giving aid to these orphans. The
houses of the Home are almost un-
inhabitable and improvements in
. buildings and farm appliances are
sadly needed and uuless obtainable
the institution may have to break
tip. The lioino was established to
take care of the destitute orphans of
ConiVderate dead aud it was private
generosity but at one time the state
did grant tho Home a small bounty
in lauds and having douo so then It
might do somethiug of a similar
nature now. Orphans of the
Confederate dead are rap-
idly becoming men and "wo-
men and tho Home is now kept
alive for the benefit of indigent
orphans without regard to parent-
age. The state could well afford to
aid euch a public enterprise. The
Irut'i ".Iniut it is that tbe state ought
to or. iuizejust such an institution
to be luaiulaiued at pr.blic expense
providing that destitute orphans
may bo cared for just as is the
hopeless luuatic or the blind the
. deaf and the dumb.
Orphaned aud homeless chiidreu
crying lor shelter and bread ought
to present a stonger appeal for
ulilic charity than any other class
ot beings. All advauced states and
countries and many communities

ii ud education of hapless and

may ie wun suiety estimated as our

year from Jul? 1 to June 30 rate of tax
ation ana values J.cing beld as uniform
wun the year 1882. and collections of
taxes not bindered by any relief laws. In
tbis connection it is deemed Droner to
say that tbe examination of tbe receipts
and disbursements ot actual cash as
sbown by tbe comptroller s report for any
fiscal year cunnot be taken as a guide for
the actual revenues and disbursements
ol a year. Tbe reason on inspection ot
one ot the reports ot cash receipts and
disbursements will be apparent. It will
be found tbat tbe items oi receipts show
casn i rora uacK assessments and sources
ol enclosed accounts tbat no longer exist
in any degree comparative with these
sources in former years. Since 1870. each
year s account bas been more narrowly
brought into immediate settlement until
now. (say on July 1. 1882) there will be
but small amounts to be estimated as re-
ceipts for revenue except such amounts
as are derived from tbe current taxes un
der present exixtlng laws. For tbis rea-
sou in tbe above estimate there Is in-
cluded simply tbe actual annual live net
receipts mat come iroin liabilities ot tbe
tax-payers lor a current year and no de-
lusion Is indulged in as to speculative re
ceipts from uucerialn quarters. For
example on relerence to the coinptrol
ler's report for current year It will be
seen on page 25 that there have been
placed in suit accounts of defaulting col
lectors to tue amount of S400.580.0tl
since tbe beginning of my term ot ottice.
These nccouuts date back ol year prior to
1880. Tbe amount ol $599S0.92 bas been
paid Iu on these suits. As to bow much
more will be collected is uncertain. In
making estimates it is thought prudent
to leave the receipts from uucertain and
indeiiolte sour.-"- as a niarcin. rather
than let tt-.cui enter as elements that may
iM"-.ive.
As to disbursements for a current vear.
while not embraced in the same period
as above stated for receipts the following
statement is given:
Amounts mat will be
expended say for one
year from March 1 1882
ot February 28 1883 from
appropriations- current
uuul expenses SI.13G.000 00

teenth legislature 40000 00
Total expenses of one vear
including tue two extra-
ordinary items JJos. 2
nd3- 1270.000 00
In tbe above estimate of exnensea
(U27filXK) notice is taken that tbe public
debt has decreased and tbat luterest and
sinking fund to tbe amount of $85000
will not be required iu the ordinary
budget of expeuses.
Deducting tue expenses above of !.-
270.000 Irom tbe receipts for one year
will leave as excess of receipts for one
year over expenses both ordinary and
extraordinary the amount of $354222 27.
Should you consider tbe extraordinary
expense of tbe present legislature and
the lunatic asvlum included In Items 2
and 3 above ($140000) as eliminated from
consideration aud tbe actual regular
expenses compared with receipts there
will be an excess of receiDts iu revenues
over regular current disbursements an
nually the sum of $494222.27.
In fact In round numbers with In-
creased values it may easily reach one-
ball million at our present rates ol taxa-
tion and all the subjects now embraced
In tbe tax law.
You also desire an Approximate esti-
mate ol tbe cash balauce tbat will be on
band on July 1 1882.
To make such estimate properly tbat it
may be salely depended on will require
carelul examination ol tbe sources of
cash receipts and the occasions of dis-
bursements between now and Julv 1
and cannot be prepared before tbe 17th
Instant. It will be furnished you on that
dale and you will then have tbat data;
aud you will then have tbe data upon
w hich conclusions may safely be formed
ot the extent to which taxation can be
reduced.
In my judgment a very substantial re-
duction can be made without danger ol
tbe receipts falling below the disburse-
ments ltesperttully.

AUSTIN April 18 188J. J
Hon. L. 8. Ross Chairman Finance Commlt-
. tee 8 1 tile Scuate Aoslln Texas :
Sir 1 have the honor to acknowledge
tbe receipt or your request for statement
of amount ot cash tbat will be in the
state treasury and other funds Immedi-
ate)) available as state revenue on the
close of June 30 1882.
Connecting tbis subject with tbe letter
from tbis department addressed to you
on tbe tirteeuth Instant matters In both
being intimately associated 1 will say :
The period from July 1 to Junn SO
of a current year furnishes the most cer-
tain basis for estimates concerning our
revenues for this reason :
On fuly 1 of each year tax collectors
are required to make a complete settle-
ment ol their accounts with the state.
Tbe debit against tax collectors lor
which they will be required to settle on
or before Julv 1 1882. consists or the
following items in general :
1. Occupation taxes collected from
July 1. 1881 to June 30 1882. on re-
ceipts furnished by tbe comptroller on
printed lorraa for each sepaiata occupa-
tion giving amount or tax. Tbe collec-
tors are charged with the entire amount
or occupation receipts furnished on July
1 and return on or be lore June 30 the
receipts they may not have Issued for
their credit.
3. All ad valorem and poll tax collected
on rolls of 1881.
8. Collections made from owners ot
lands heretofore sold to the state and re-
deemed by payment of taxes to collectors.
4. Taxes collected from insolvents
whose assessments may have been al-
lowed heretofore as credits on the col-
lectors' accounts.
i. Collections from rentals on school
lands. (This is an Insignificant sum uu-l
der present laws.)
The above five items embrace tbe main I
sources of revenue that begin as accounts
on July 1 of each year and are required
to be closed on June 30. They show tbe
annual operations of a collector ; and con-
sequently a hied and absolute account
of one year's operations on tbe several
sources for deriving revenue on entirely
new subject matter for a current year.
Tbe other sources ol revenue are:
1. Ad valorem taxes collected by tbe
comptroller on lands in unorganized
counties.
2. Tax on commercial travelers and
other special taxes collected by tbe
comptroller.
8. Ottice fees collected by tbe several
departments.
With regard to tbe above collections by
the comptroller and other departments
the general average Irom July 1 to June
30 of a year represents the annual rev-
enue from these sources; aud tbe total
amount from all sources taken for this
period is tbe natural aud proper basis
for estimating our actual receipts.
With this explanation tbe tallowing
estimate is made up to June 30 1882. Of
our available cash resources there will be
on hand un expended on that date :
ESTIMATE OF RECEIPTS FROM MARCH 1

With present laws in lorce and with
remittance from collectors ef funds In

tbat we will have to rexenue account
after paying July interest in available
funds the sum of eight hundred thousand

A novel way of preserving the surfaces
of iron bas just been discovered. The
treatment is as follows : The iron Is
subjected to the action of diluted hydro-
chloric acid which desolves tbe iron and
leaves on the surface a pellicle of homo
geneous graphite which adheres well to
tne surrace oi tue iron xne piece to be
preserved Is next treated. In a hydraulf-
cally closed receiver by hot or cold wa-
ter or better by steam In such a man-
ner aa to completely dissolve and remove
tbe chloride ol Iron formed. Finally the
piece of iron Is left to dry in tbe receiver
from which all liqnor bas been removed.
A solution ot caoutchouc guttapercha
or gum resin In essance ol petroleum is
then Injected. On tee essence being
evaporated there remains a solid ensru-el-like
coat on the surface of the iron.
Instead of previously eliminatingthe iron
salt it may be utU.sed in lorming a kind
of vitreous enamel. For this purpose the
iron is Immersed after treatment with
tbekcid In a bath ol silicate and borate
of soda. A very pure and brilliant silico
borate of iron Is formed which closes up
tbe pores of tbe metal. As to tbe dis-
engaged chlorine it combines with tne
free tada forming chloride of sodium
which remaint. dissolved In the liquid.
Thus the important question of the pre-
servation of iron appears to have been
brought another step toward solution. .

Three figures detached themselves

stiuct ot the new movement led
from the first that of carrying reli
gion aud morality to the vast masses
ot population which lay couccutra'
ted in the town or around the mines
and collieries of Cornwall ana tb
north. Whitfield a servitor
ot
Pembroke college was above all
the preacher of the revival. Speech
was governing hnglisb politics
aud tho religious power of speech
was shown when a dread ot "enthu
siasm" closed against the new apos
ties the pulpits of the established
church aud forced them to
preach iu tho fields. Their voice
was soon heard iu the wildest and
most barbarous corners of the laud
among the bleak moors of Northum

or in the long galleries where in the
pauses ot his labor tbe (Joruish
miner listens to the sobbing of the

as England had never heard before.
theatrical extravagant often com

Walpoleor who could look down
Irom the top of a green knoll -at
Kingswood ou 20000 colliers grimy
from the Uristol coal-pits and see
as he preached the tears "making
white channels down their black
ejied cheeks."
On the rough and ignorant masses
to whom thev spoke the etlect of
Whitfield aud his tellow Methodists
was mighty both for good and ill
Their preaching 6tirrcd a passionate
hatred in their opponents their
lives were often in danger they
were mobbed they were ducked
they were smothered with filth. But
the enthusiasm they aroused was
equally as passionate; strong men
were smitteu suddenly to the earth);
the preacher was interrupted uv
bursts of hysteric laughter or hys
teric sobbing. All the phenomena
ot strong spiritual excitement so fa
miliar now but at that time strange
and unknown followed on their
sermons; and tlie terrible sense oi a
conviction of sin a new dread of
hell a new hope of heaveu took
forms at once grotesque aud
sublime. Charles Wesley a Christ
church 8tudentcame to add sweet
ness to this sudden aud startling
light. He was the "sweet singer'
of the movement. His hymns ex
pressed the fiery conviction of its
converts iu lines so chaste aud beau
tiful tbat its more extravagant fea
tures disappeared. The wild throes
of hysteric enthusiasm passed into
a passion for hymn-singing and
new musical impulse was aroused
iu the people which gradual. y
changed the face ot public devotion
throughout iMigiauu.
IJut it was his elder brother John
Wesley who embodied iu himself
not this or that side of the new
movement but the movement him
self. Even at Oxford where be re-
sided as a fellow of Lincoln
he had been looked upon as
head of the group of Methodists
aud after his return from a
quixotic mission to the Indians of
Georgia he again took the lead of
the little society which bad removed
in the interval to London. In power
as a preacher he stood next to Whit
held; as a hymn writer lie stood
second to his brother Charles. But
while combining in some degree the
excellences ot either he possessed
qualities in which both were utterly
deficient an indefatigable industry
a cool judgment a command over
others a faculty ot organization a
singular union of patience aud mod
eration with an imperious ambition
which marked bun as a ruler ol men.
He bad besides a learning aud skill
in wruing which no other ot the
Methodists possessed ; he was older
than any of bis colleagues at the
start of the movement and he out
lived them all. His -life indeed
almost covers the centurv. He was
born in 1703 aud lived on till . 1791
and the Methodist body had passed
through every phase of its history
before be sank into the grave at the
ago of eighty-eight. It would have
been impossible for Wesley to have
wielded the power he did had be
not shared tbe extravagauce as well
as the enthusiasm ot nis disciples.
Throughout his life his asceticism
was that of a monk. He lived at
times on bread ouly and he often
6lcpt on the boards. He lived in a
world of wonders aud divine inter-
positions. It "was a miracle if the
rain stopped and allowed him to set
forward ou a journey. It was a
judgment of heaven if a hailstorm
burst over a town which had been
deaf to his preaching. Oue day. he
tells us when he was tired
and bis horse fell lame "1
thought cannot God heal either
man or beast by any means or with-
out any? Immediately my head-
ache ceased aud ray horse's lameness
on the same instant." With a still
more childish fanaticism he
guided his conduct whether in
ordinary events or in the great cri-
ses of hia life by drawing lots or
watching the particular texts at
which his Bible opened.
But with all this extravagance and
superstition Wesley's mind was es-
sentially practical orderly and con-
servative. No man ever stood at
the head of a great revolution whose
temper was so anti-revolutionary.
In his earlier days tbe bishops had
been forced to rebuke him lor the
narrowness and intolerance ot his
chnrchmanship. When Whitfield be-
gan his sermons in the fields Wesley
"could not at first reconcile him-
self to tbat strange way." He con-
demned aud fought against the ad-
mission of laymen as preachers till
bo fouud himself left with none but
laymen to preach. To the last be
clung passionately to the church of
England and looked on the body
he had formed as bnt a lay society
in full communion with it. lie
broke with the Moravians who had
been the earliest friends of the new
movement when they endangered
its sate coudect by their contempt
of religious forms lie broke with
Whitfield when the great preacher
plnnged into an extravagant Cal-
vinism. But the same practical
temper of mind which lofl him to
regret what was unmeasirred aud
to be tbe last to adopt ' w ' nt was
new enabled him at - once to - JVasn :
and organize the novelties he aU6pt.rjould.
ed. He became himself the most un-
wearied of field preachers aiid bis
jourual for half a century is little
more than a record of fresh journeys
aud fresh sermons. When ouce
driven to employ lay helpers in his
ministry he made their work a new
aud attractive feature in bis system.
His earlier asceticism only lingere
in a dread of social enjoyments aud
an aversion from the gayer aud sun
nier Bide of life which links the
Methodist movement with that of
the Puritaus. as the fervor ot his
supcrstitutiou died down into I lie
cnl m of age his cool common sense
discouraged iu his followers the en
tliusiastic outbursts which marked
theopeuiusrot the revival. Hispow
ers w?re bent to the building up ot a
great religious society which might
ive io the new enthusiasm a lasting
aud practical form. The Methodists
were grouped into classes gathered
in love feasts pu.-ihed bv the expul
sion ol "uuworlljy members aud fur
nished with au alternation of settled
ministers aud waudering preacher;
while the whole body was placed
under the absolute government of
a conference of ministers. But
so long as he lived the direction of
the new religious societv remained
with Weslev alone. If by arbitrary
power be replied with charming
simplicity to objectors "you mean a
power which I exercise simply with
out any colleagues therein this is
certainly true but I see no hurt in
it."
The great tody which he thus
founded numbered a huudred thou-
sand members at his death and now
counts ita members in England and
America by millions. But the
Methodists themselves were the
least result of the Methodist revival.
Its action upon the church broke
the lethargy of the clergy ; and the
"evaugelical " movement which
fouud representatives like Newton
aud Cecil within the pale of the es-
tablishment made the fox-huutiug
parsou and tbe absentee rector at
last impossible. In Walpole's
day the English clergy were the
idlest and the most lifeless in the
world. In our own day no body of
religious ministers surpasses them
in piety in pbilauthropic energy or
iu popular regard. Iu the nation at
large appeared a new moral enthu-
siasm which rigid and pedantic
as it otten 6eemed. was
Btill healthy inits social tone
aud whose power was seen in the
disappearance of the profligacy
which had disgraced tho upper
classes aud the foulness which had
infested literature ever since the
restoration. A new philanthropy
reformed our prisons iulused cle-
mency and wisdom into our penal
laws abolished the slave trade aud
gave tne nrst impulse to popular
education. -
