WAsuINGroN COUNTY, April Both.


Messrs. Editors We still indulge the hope
that the Post Office Department will not sane
ton an arrangement so clearly at variance with
what is just and proper the adoption of such n
schedule as will cause the mail train coming
westward from Lynchburg, 10 leave that city Mt
or about | o'clock. =. NJ, thus causing several
hours run. in The night on the west end of the
Va. q rcnn. Il. Road.
WHY the Va < Tennessee X. Road should
be required to run its trains for several hours in
the night, merely to accommodate tho city OF
Richmond and the Dnnville Railroad. Is mystery
TO us out in these back woods" The " Rich
mand Wing" disclosed the secret perhaps in n
nte article in which ii objected to the arrange
ment proposed by you in your paper of the 18th
of April, as it would cause delay in the depar-
ture from Richmond of the papers published there.
1t is true we would like to have the latest nerS
from Richmond, bnt whatever we get out here of
news" through the Richmond papers is mainly
copied BY them from more northern or eastern
Publications which are kept in Richmond from
III to- 81 hours to give them time to reprint II.
1t seems to me they could change their hour of
publication to suit an afternoon train from Rich
lnond to Lynchburg, or let the papers come on
in which the news originally appeared.
mean not in the least to disparage the value of
our Richmond papers, but think such reason
as the one assigned by the Wing is without
sufficient force to change our views.
The city and people of Lvnchburg, and tho
people and counties of the South west have con-
II ibuted, according to their ability, fully as lib
orally towards the construction of Railroads
leading in this direction. as have the city and
people of Richmond and for that reason | do
not see why the latter should be favored by the
Post Office Department in the arrangement of
its mail schedules, over the former.

INTERESTING STATISTICS OF COSTA RICA.--
A recent Traveller in Costa RIGA, who publishes an
account ofhiS adventures in the Panama Star and
Herald, gives tho following statements to tho
revenue and military force of Costa Rica:
"rhe revenue OF Costa RIGA is derived from du-
ties on imports, monopolies of the growth and sale
of tobacco, the sale ofimported spirits and gun
powder. and the distillation and sale of spirits
manufactured from sugar cane, stamped paper,
the sale of national lands, and few minor sour
In 1926 this amounted only to $50, 900
in 1913 it had ri sen to Sl20 000;n 1850 to 5000
900; in 1852 to S360,l72: 1854 TO S45S,9 57.
and for 1855 it has further increased TO the sum
oil S59l,l56, The expenses for the latter year
were 1881 500, leaving a balance of 100000 to
the credit of the country The army of the Re
public consists of "a militia force of 7lS7 men, in
Guiding officers. All males between eighteen and
forty years of age obliged to enroll and drill
for a certain number of days in the year. Those
whom we saw in San Jose went through their ev-
ouiions in very credtable manner. There is.
besides. standing force of 325 for guards and
general service,r The Government has respeo-
table number of cannon and an armory. to which
astock of 1000 Mimic rifles have lately been ad-
ded. The entire cost of the army. according to
the estimates of 1855, was $7S,OOO.
