greatly facilitated by having the labor Of DIS
tribution, which was then performed in desig-
mated offices, done on board Of the mail cars
while the mails we're in transit. As usual with
all important reforms, the new system met
with almost universal opposition during the
first two years Of ils operation. 1t was diff
cult to find competent men to perform the
clerical duties; and even BY tho Postofhce De-
partmentlt was regarded as costly experiment
that, in the event Of success, could never be
made to produce results commensurate to the
expense Of maintaining it. This opposition
became so strong, that at one time the depart
ment contemplated abandoning itas failure;
but it was finally determined to experiment
awlile longer, and it has since demonstrated
it's claims to consideration as one OF the great
est improvements eve, made in the postal SER
vice of the country.
The railway postal service is now in opera
ton on seven thousand three hundred and
forty-6y miles of railroad in the United States.
On one thousand and three miles OF this double
daily service is perFormed; making total Of
eight thousand three hundred and forty. eight
miles, and requiring tho employment Of two
thousand and sl1ty-ninc postal clerks, on sala-
ries VARYING from nine hundred to fourteen
hundred dollars per nnnum. There is con-
tinuous line starting from Portland, Me-, via
Boston, New York and Washington, to Weldon,
N. C. There are also in successful operation
postal cars from Chattanooga to Memphis,
and Chattanooga to Atlanta. These carry, the
extensive mails passing in those directions,
distribute and send them to every point Of the
South and West without detention.

-Midshipman Edward D. Taussig, Of tn,
United States steamer Wateree, writes graphic
account Of the earthquake in South America.
He volunteered to take command OF boat
which put off from the Wateree to pick up o
man who was seen drifting by that ship on a
mass OF earth and weeds, but was caught by
the tidal wave and prevented from returning.
Finally his boat was thrown against the Peru
Wan corvette America, and he got ashore in
curious fashion. They boarded the corvette in
a tremendous sea, but not before their boat had
been dashed to pieces and sunk under them
while they clung to the ropes. Hardly had
they touched the deck before the vessel
grounded, while the sea broke over her fear
fully. The crew was crazy with liquor and
clamoring for moro. The captain had been
drowned few moments before, and the first
lieutenant could Eot make his voice heard
above the roar Of the waves and the wailing
and crying of his crew, until he finally gave it
up in despair and wept. Two OF the masts
we're carried away. the sea continually breaking
over the ship, when suddenly the water rece-
ded and they we're left on the sand. They de-
scended, joined hands in two ranks, and ran
for life inland. Tue return of the sea caught
them again, but not rushing with great veloci-
ty it did no harm, and after running half q
mile they were sale. The tidal wave by mea-
surenlent was forty-two feet high.

of Manchester of future supply from this coun-
try cannot by any means be for On increase
comparable to our increase OF production. Be-
fore the war the United States held almost
the monopoly of Europe in short stapled cot
tons, having furnished seventy-fve eighty
per cent. of this kind to Great Britain (the
leading market). Now that monopoly is divi-
ded with India, which and the United States
each furnishes about an equal half OF
that kind of cotton; the United States
crop being available in Europe the trst
six months OF the year, and that OF nol2
the second. An over supply of either would
naturally affect prices adversely, and serious
ly short supply would be disastrous to the
manufacturing commerce Of the world. This
is pertinent to the case in hand correct statls-
t,cal information) in the fact that, since the
return of peace in the United States the annual
supply of short stapled cottons, from both the
United States and India, has not been equal to
the consumption-the lessening stocks at the
end of the successive years have proved 1t.
Nor is there, and there may not be within any
reasonable future, such reserve of raw cot
ton as to save the trade from calamity in case
of material failure of cr)p OF either India or
the United States. On the other hand, what
may be called full crops Of the present day
would scarcely exceed the requirements OF a
generally prosperous trade of the world. Is.

The Chronicle 1O0A6 bales less than the
Price Current. If We take the statement as
per the National Association OF Cotton Manu-
facturers as the basis OF home consumption, 1T
would make the crop Log, ,S0S bales less than the
Price Currents estimates. Both the Prince
Current and Chronicle have, doubtless, aimed
at accuracy, but the comparative figures prove
clearly what we contend for, viz: the fallacy OF
statements made largely upon estimates, in
stead of positive data, and of charging par
ticular item lin this case, 'home consump-
tony. whatever may be necessary to balance
the accounts. And the data should be such as
to make the weekly statistics really as correct
as the annual--not leave them astray 30 that
when the weekly come to be compiled for the
year Nv. Z. Wright Co.'s for instance) 245,-
600 bales have to be added as corrections"
However opinions may differ, in the absence
of positive or reliable statistics, it seems to US
difficult to believe the home consumption OF
1878 amounted to 58.458 bales, not to speak
of 988. .165 bales. The largest consumption was
in l859-6O estimated at 972, GAS bales (of the
largest crop ever made, say 4,669,770, more
than double tho last crop, il estimated on
similar basis) if the trade Of the whole country,
foreign as well as domestic, was in the fullest
tide of prosperity, compared to which we sup
pose the trade of last year IN cotton 10 nave
been upon greatly diminished scale.
The commerce OF the world has an important
interest in correct statistics relative to the pco-
duction of raw cotton. In all the rapid in
crease, as by the Price Current, our foreign
export has not been increased to the extent OF
100, 900 bales. while home consumption has in
