TIT for Tat

The New York correspondent of the
Charleston rs. c. Courier relates the fol-
lowing amusing incident;
"a good story is current concerning the
Rev Geo Ripley, who is one Of the edi-
toral staff Of the n. Y Tribue. 1t seems
that Judge Clark had given public utter
ance to the opinion, that the editors of the
Tribune were regarded By him as no bot
ter than lunaties. Of course, it went to
the ears of the paper.
A short time afterwards, Mr.. Ripley
was summoned to act as juror. Now,
any one who has tried il, knows that it
is not an enviable position to occupy, and
the reverend editor not relishing the idea,
bethought himself of the aforesaid judg-
ment of lunacy as loophole Of escape
He accordingly wrote on the back of the
subpoena. Mr. Ripley begs to be ex-
cused on the ground of lunacy, aud in
support of the plea. mentions the fact that
he is one of the editors Of the Tribune" f"
Judge Clark being on the bench took the
document, and, reading the explanatory
endorsement. promptly said, "the plea is
recognized by the Court" and dismissed
the waggish reverend, who, to the no small
amusement Of those who were il the joke,
forthwith went on lis way rejoicing"

Reports of Departments.

REPORT OF THE POSTMASTER GENERAL.
PosT MASTER GENERALS REPORT
The fact is prominently set forth that
from and after the lst day of July next
the mails are to be conveyed between
New Orleans and Washington in three
and half days. The expenses of the
department over and above its resources
have regularly increased ever since the
reduction of postage. 1t would however
be obviOusl J erroneous to suppose that
this charge upon the Treasury is to pro-
gress in ratio proportionate to what it
has been for the last few years. Our pos
tai system is now extended over the whole
country from one ocean to the other.-
There can be but little further expense
resulting from overland connection with
California. except one other route COM
monty called the Northern Route No
other is nov thought of as likely to be-
come necessary.
The Post Master General proposes, in
lieu of the franking privilege now allow
ed by law to members of Congress, that
the Secretary of the Senate or such other
officer as may be designated for the pur-
pose, furnish the members with postage
stamps to be used on ell letters, public
documents, &C., transmitted by them in
the mails, and keep an account of the
stamps furnished each ber to be paid
for out of the contingent fund of the
House; all letters, etc, to members OF
Congress to be prepaid at mailing Offices
A uniform rate of postage of Eve cents
for all distances is proposed.
/ On the 3Oth of June last there was in
operation eight thousand two hundred
and ninety-six mail routes. the length oI
which is estimated at 260,603 miles, and

spirit of determination awakened friend

tary advised him. in forcibIe terms. to a.
bandon his purpose, and 20 to the West
if he could DO no better outside the De.
partment. "My young friend" said he,
'go to the orth-west; buy $50 acres of

money to purchase, squat on it; get you

But If you own an acre of land, it is your
kingdom, aud your cabin is your castle
you are sovereign, and you will feel it
in every throbbing of your pulse, and
every day of your life assure me of your
thanks for having thus advised you" If
thousands who SO ardently strive for pla-
ees under the Government would ponder
we'll those words, and exercise sound
discretion in their application, thus many
a young and gallant spirit would be saw
ed from iusnntion, to be useful to the
world, and joy rather than grief to its
posseSsor.

Notice to Travellers.

The Harrisburg (Pa.) Union says that
the following rules of the road" are all
based upon local decisions, and that they
ought to be universally made known:
1T has been legally decided that ap-
plicauts for tickets on railroads can be e.
jected from the cars if they do not offer
the exact AMOUNT Of their fare Conduc-
tors are not bound to make change. All
railroad tickets are good until used, and
conditions good for this day only" or
otherwise limiting the time Of genuine
ness, are of no account. Passengers who
lose their tickets can be elected from the
ears unless they purchase a second one.
Passengers are bound to observe deco
rum in the cars, and are obliged to COM
ply with all reasonable demands to show
their tickets Standing upon the platform
or otherwise violating rule of the com
paDy renders person liable to be put
from the train. No person has right
to monopolize more seats than be has paid
for, any article left in a seat, while the
owner is temporarily absent, entities him
