T Less than century since, Ben
famine Franklin, the Postmaster General
Of the Colonies, set out in his old gig to
make an official inspection Of the differ
ent routes. It is supposed that he ac-
complshed the object of his journey !;
but if he was to undertake to travel in
his gig all over the routes at present ex-
listing. he would arrive at the end of his
journey when he was about an hundred
years old About eighty years since,
Congress appointed DR.. Fraklin Postmas-
ter General to the then independent Colo
nies, he still went in his old gig, and a
small folio. containing about three quires
of paper, lasted as his account book for
two years. Now the railroad train goes
sixty miles an hour, and the post Office
accounts consume, every two years, three
thousand OF the largest sized ledgers.
keeping no less than one hundred clerks
constantly employed in recording trans
actions with thirty thousand contractors
and other persons. There are now paid
annually, for mail locks, keys and stamps,
nearly thirty two thousand dollars--a sum
equal to the entire outlay of tie whole
department in the year 1890. The
stamped envelopes and postage stamps
cost over fourteen thousand dollars the
mail bags fifty thousand ; the wrapping
paper forty-one thousand.
Franklin would be slightly astonishec
if he could rise from his grave, to trave
to Washington in his old gig, see tn,

was ordered to proceed post haste to She
scene of difficulties, but on arriving there,
and investigating the cause of the trouble
he was satisfied that the whole affair was
got up by interested white men for the
purpose of plundering the United States

r'er writing from Oregon says:
Gen. Wool charges responsibility for
the beginning of war upon white settlers,
and asserts that but for unprovoked and
treacherous massacres perpetrated upon
them, they would have remained upon
good terms with their civilized neighbors.

The Lady in Gray Silk.


The most amusing story is told Of
Judge now occupying high posi-
in the Pennsylvania State Government.
Travelling some years since by railroad to
Harrisburg, on blazing hot day, with
some friends. the iron horse had stopped
to water. when suddenly he dew his
white handkerchief from his pocket aud
began vigorously waving it in the air. Al
the same time bobbing his head out Of
the window in a very energetic manner.
"What are you about, Judge" asked
Mr.. O., without rising from his seat.
"Why, don't you see, yonder? There's
lady waving white handkerchief. and
I'm returning the salute" e
!" Who is she, Judge ?" interrogated
Mr.. O., as he lounged in one corner Of
The car, with his neither extremeties curl
ed up like gigantic capital q.
Well, the fact is I don't exactly
know; I'm quite near-sighted. and
can't recognize her; but she is dressed in
gray silk, and stands yonder, under = big
maple tree. near my friend John B.'s
house."
Mr.. @. hobbled over to the Judges
side. and gazed in the direction indicated,
but saw only that the Judge had been ex-
changing salutes for ten minutes p;h aa
iron gray mare. whose long white tail. az
it tapped away the flies, had been taken
by him for a white handkerchief waved
by lady in a gray silk dress.
The buttons that were subsequently,
picked up in that car are said to have
been exceedingly numerous. The Judge
didn't swear but he changed the subject
to saw-mills, the only ineligible portion
of which being the frequent repetition Of

SANDWICH lsLANDs-7he Volcanic at

terrific progress of the lava flood which
threatens with destruc ion the beautiful
town and bay of Hilo; but what seems
most singular to an energetic people like

who are boxing on hewildered, but taking
no means to divert the fiery element from
its course. The sides and surface of the
stream Of lava exposed to the air soon
cool into a crust, below which the advan-
cling mass keeps forcing passage. 1t is
represented as being easily controlled and
turned into new channels. Sometimes
the hard sides are tapped and streams let
out which flow almost at right angles
with the general current. The friend
says:
Every day darkens the prospects OF Hi
