The present estimateistWat the roll will cost $150,000,000. To put the matter in still more striding form, this annual ouuay win require . 3Z,O0V,upu more than the total receipts from cus toms, estimated "upon those of . . -..the month of November last' as an 'average. If this annual expense be r compared with the internal revenue receipts esti mated on the same, basis. It -is . found that the entire revenue from, this source, with the exception of $12,000,000, will 6e required to pay the pension roll.

"My;wlfe insisted that, I go for a doctor at once; but as he was ou of town, I 'purchased a bottle of Cham berlain's Cough Remedy, which relieved the child immediately." A bottle of this remedy-in the house will often save the expense of a doctor's bill, besides the anxiety always occasioned by serious sickness.
