A CASE IN A THOUSAND. Mr.. Daniel
Mayo, Postmaster at Newport, Ky. re-
Gently deceased, was the only one whose
proceedings have come to our knowledge,
who honestly carried out the rule of the De-
partment by advertising the letters of his
office in the newspapers having the greatest
circulation in the immediate vicinity Of the
office. He advertised them invariably in
the Cincinnati Gazette, a wing paper and
to the frequent circumstances ofthe parti-
sans Of the administration, his only reply
was that they might remove him from the
office, but as long as he held it they should
not control him in a matter where the law
furnished him with plain rule of conduct
in regard TO his official proceedings. There
is perhaps no law in this land more uniyer.

naught than the one referred 20. In nine
cases out of ten, and we might say with
truth, in ninety-nine out Of a hundred, the
advertising of post office letters is given TO
partisan papers without any reference at
all to their circulation ; and the Post Mas

tensions to an honest and legal admnis,ra-

deputies in the most shameful and unquai-

We agree with our friend of the Times,
that this MIR. Mayo was one in a thousand.

On Tuesday the Festival of the North
London Auxiliary of the New British and
| Foreign Temperance Society took place at
the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street,
when a lecture upon ancient aud modern
wines was delivered by the Rev. F. Beard

it to be his decided conviction, from hav-

that four fifths of the wine sold in Great
Britain was fictitious, and manufactured
without the juice of the grape. According
to The entries in the c,lstnnhouse books,
the quantity Of wine shipped from Oporto
to Guernsey, in 1912, was l35 pipes and
30 hogsheads, and in the same year there

of wine exported from Oporto to the chan

from thence to London was 293. "a laugh
In 1927 the number was 80, and the same

which they had manufactured into rs. In
1929 they received none from Oporto, and
shipped to London 80. In 1880 they re-

And in 1888 they received none, and ship

The Rev. gentleman then read receipt
for the manufacture Of port wine, which
comprised red beet-root, brandy, sugar,
logwood, rhatany-root, &C., and related an
anecdote of a carpet manufacturer who on
hearing the list read, exclaimed: ooh,

Great laughter and cheering.) Receipts

them containing any grape juice. A state
ment which had appeared in one of the
London papers short time since was then
referred to, relative to the large wine man

Madeira, and, after being branded, were
