larce books containing too thousand names,
and millions of figures."
!???WiII you digest of this year show an in-
eicnse over last?"

Washington, August 8.???Inquiries made at
the postoflicc department have developed tho
following facts in connection with tlio finan
cial irregularities and tho disappearance oi
Assistant Postmaster Morton, of IJoooklyn.
At the expiration of the first month in euoh
quarter tho einidoycs of tho Brooklyn post-
i ffico were required to sign a pay-roll for the
full quarter, although they had received pay
for Lut one month. Morton, who was la com
plete control of the finances of the oflice, was
thus afforded an opportunity, of which he
availed himself, in making up tho pay-roll
to fill in tho blanks for tho last two months oi
inch qunrtcr with figures rcprosontiiig sums
larger than those actually paid out. As tho
employes never saw tho pay-roll aftor the
fmt month of ftlio quarter, they practically
signed it in blank. The nostoflice department
was absolutely without check upon Assistant
Postmaster Morton, and tho scheme might
hove been operated*for yoars without detection
bad it not been for the receipt by tho commis
sion of investigation ol an anonymous note di
recting attention to the payroll. Tlio inspec
tors at once began n thorough examination,
and every employe of tho oflico was required
to make, nn oath to tho amount of salary
received, and these affidavits wore compared
with tho payroll. Tho first discrepancy di*-
covered was* in the cnee of nn employe named
Clark, who was charged on tho payroll with
the sum of $147, services hoginning in Janu
ary, 1884, while, ns a matter of fact, Clark
swore that ho hud received only $13 for ser
vices rendered in March. Tho examination
included accounts for several yours pa*t, snd
the telal amount of discrepancy revealed was
1399. Regarding Morton???s disappearance
during the investigation, tho inspectors suj)-
j ored that ho guessed tho result of the inqui
ry, and tied to Europe. They do not bcliovo
that his mind is ailictcd, or that ho is in the
country. Tho commissioners found no evi
dence of other financial irregularities, and
their report completely exonerates tho |>o*t-
mwttr lrom any knowledge of, or complicity
in Morton???s irregularities and pays n c.nnpli-
nu nt to his integrity. The general condition
of the oflico wns not wholly satisfactory, and
the commission suggested many changes in
tjic method of the transaction of business, in
tended to fncilitae the dispatch of tho mails
ond otherwise improve tho service. Recom
mendation were also mode looking to a small
increase of the forco of employes and in a few
instances of Hilaries.
COTTON IN TEXAS.
Great Damage From the Drouth, but Ten
Days of Saving Time Left.,
Galveston, Tex., August 4.???Tho News says:
While in some ]>ortious of the north and cuit
of Texas, during tho past week, rain has fal
len in refreshing quantity, still the greater por
tion of the cotton growing district is suffering
from continued ilrouths. In ccntrat Tcxnq
this.is especially the case, and unless there is
a rainfall in this district withir. the coming
week, the cotton crop will bo cut badly. Still,
in the large aud productive section of tho
state, cotton will Stand tho drouth tm days
longer. On tho Waco division of the Contra!
railroad, through Falls and Mc
Lennan counties, cotton is still
strong and vigorous. Beyond Waco,
on the some line of railroad, there have been
rains sufficient to tuako the crop. On the
Missouri Pacific line from Waco to Austin,
and a rain on the line of the Central railroad
from Austin to the Brasos bottoms. Cotton is
still in promising condition. All that section
of the state embracing six or eight heavy
countUa being able to withstand the drouth
for some time to come. The situation ia criti
cal, however, at many points, but with gen
eral rains in that section in eight days a full
average cotton crop may yet be made. On the
line ot tha Transcontinental railroad, aud also
two branches of the Missouri Pacific road,
prospects are fairly good, whilo iu southern
Texas cottou is spotted, being fair fu some
aect???ona and bad in others. The central aud
I*>rtiona of eastern Texas are suffering m ??t at
this time, and unless relief cornea *o*n this
region will be seriously injured as for as t???ie

Saved His Life.
A PHYSICIAN'S TESTIMONY.
I was called to see Mr. John Pearaon, who
was confined to his bed with what appeared
to l>e consumption of the worst form. As
all of his family had died ofAhut dread dis
ease (except his half brother), hts death
was regarded ns certain and soon. After
exhausting all tho remedies, I finally ns a
last resort, sent for a bottle of Brewer???s
Lung Restorer and it acted like mnglo. He
continued the use of it for somo time and
has been fully restored to health. So far
as I could discover, ho had consumption,
and Brewer???s Lung Restorer saved his llfo.

ANOTHER RESCUE FROM DEATH.
In 1881, while sewing on a machine, my
wife wns taken with a severe pain iu her
side, which wns soon followed by licmor-
rages from her lungs, severe cough and fe
ver, and could neither cat or sleep, and In
a few weeks was reduced to a mere skolo-
ton. Her stomach refused to retain any
food, and the physician thought one other
lung* wa* entirely gone. At a final consul
tation of two physicians her awe was pro
nounced hopelcrs. I tried Brewer???s Lung
Restorer by ndvlco ol oue of tho physi
cians, and she began to improve after tho
third dore. She continued the medicine,
and is now in excellent health, and is
belter than she has been iu several years.
