ca The N. Y. Eoening Post is re-
sponsible for the following incident, ex-
employing the hard pressure of Office in
Washington. (The story is told of the
Premier, Mr. Marcy;
Among the host of besiegers in the
pursuit Of a place, was a woman who
was extremely anxious that her hus-
band should be made postmaster in some
country village. She was most persc.
vcring in her solicitations, in season and
out OF season. She stood at the Secre-
tary's door when he came out of his
room in the morning; she intercepted
him on his way 10 his meals she fol-
lowed him TO his lodgings at night. On
one occasion she remained unusually
late; the Governor listened TO her as
long as he could, when he requested her
TO excuse him; but she fingered.
AT length every gentleman but one
had gone, and the Secretary took off his
shoes. Still she stood her ground, quite
unmoved. Growing desperate, the Sec
reiary finally arose from his seat, and
proceeded to strip of his coat; then
turning TO the woman, he exclaimed !;
Madam, ] am going TO bed, and if you
don't withdraw, shall write to Mrs.
Marcy about you" The lady immedi-
ately retircd--from the room"

Street Beggars.

The following suggestions, which we
find in the columns of one of our best
exchanges, are worthy of attention:
..In our own, as in other cities, there
are too many street beggars who are al
ways importunate, often deceptive, and
sometimes insulting. If our citizens
could be persuaded invariably to refuse
aims to this class of the poor, they would
do much to encourage honest labor, and
would annul species of charity which
Injuries both the beneficiary and the almo-
ner. Many Of our people who have be-
slowed aims upon street beggars who
have egregiously deceived them, have
turned a deaf ear to all appeals for aid
from any quarter, thereafter; and thus de-
serving applicants have been denied
proper assistance, because of the decep-
ton which has been practiced by impos-
tiers. Street beggars should be always
turned over, at once, to the Overseers of
the Poor or the directors Of our charita-
BILE societies-and except through the
mediation of one or the other Of these
bodies, they should receive no aid what
ever. If our citizens would heed and
act upon this suggestion, three months
would not elapse before such thing as a
street beggar would be nowhere to be
found.

ATrue Picture.

The Boston Bee, in some excellent re-
marks on the evil tendencies Of modern
Abolitionism, well concludes thus:
"Whereis Abolitionism going? Plain
" to its Craze. But not without gaspings'
gnashings, and all manner OF deatniy
struggles. Its proselytes will not easily
give up the ghost in death, any more
than they have given up phantoms while
living. Life is tenacious in every thing
that is foul and monstrous. 1t will be so
here. But it must come to 1t. Its doom
is fixed. It dwindles yearly. Its num-
bers to-day are far less than five years
ago. Men of sense who once swelled its
ranks, hoping to do some good to the
slave, long ago found the means proposed
by Abolitionism as entirely without good
effect. They found the men engaged
in the cause to be heartless beyond ac-
count, and as unprincipled and selfish
and mercenary, as they were heartless.
Hence the party shrunk into faction,
and from faction into into shadow, till
it is now the disgust and disgrace and
execration of the wise and decent of every
community. 1t is only dangerous now
from the pestilence and pollution that en-
circles its Shiny form, rather than any
power, which it exerts, since the term
bower applied to half defuunct organi-
cation would be gross misnomer. y
In view of such undeniable facts as
these, we are glad that such traitors as
Mrs. Stowe, are showing themselves in
their true colors. Let the people see and
guage these deluded persons as they really
are, and they soon sink to their level.
We hope they will add insult to insult
On our flag, and then the people of Amer
lea will know what to do with them.

London Post Office.

Once more the Post Office needs to be
enlarged. When the present structure
was completed twenty-four years ago, it
was believed that it was then large enough
to meet the business of the department
for century to come. But we have
quickened all the wheels of life in a most
wondrous way since 1929. Men esteemed
wise in their generation were then laugh
ing at the enthusiasts who dreampt of
ocean steamers and sagely sneering at the
idea of locomotive engine. Electric
lights-electric telegraphs-halfpenny
steamers-penny postage were unconcei-
we'd; nay, leading Review about that
time declared that none but an idiot
would think of allowing himself to be
shot along at rate of fifteen miles an
hour. The labors of the Post Office now,
and in 1922, are scarcely comparable. In
1910 it was said with an expression of
wondering surprise that 10000 letters
left London daily-and the entire number
passing through the Office amounted to
100000 per annum. The next year,
at the reduced rate, they more than doub-
led: and every year the increase has risen
higher and higher. During the last six
years the average increase amounts to no
less than 260, 900 letters and IA 900 news
papers daily. It is estimated that the
number ofletters which will pass through
the General Post Office in the present
year will be about $4,000 00O-the news
papers nearly 1000, O0O-over and above
the numbers which passed through it in
1916, though the reduced postage law
had then been in operation for some
years. What striking expression Of
the national progress and its literary &C.
