As we were getting over the fence at the

back and saw him still bending over the
bunch OF rose-trees. After travelling in
the woods, marking the bullet and shell

burg, crossing the corner of the field as
we went. 1t was getting dark. and stars
were appearing, but we could see his

before. We paused upon the cid rail

LET OUr. -POStmaster smith, says
the San Francisco Morning Call. since
the department has ordered letter de
livery by carriers in this city, is like
President Grant, mot lonesome lie
has about two hundred applicants for
about six places. Among others Il
strong minded lldy who is anxious that
wOn's sphere OF influence should be wild
cned. called Oh him and solicited that
two or three young ladies, healthy,
hearty and good looking, be appointed
carrlcrcsscs. The postmaster listened to
the lady politely and attentively, and
when after a long time it became his turn
to speak, he submitted various reasons
why the places would not be desirable
for females. Ali his objections were
pooh-poolcd or talked down by the la .
dy. Finally he drew the last arrows in
his culver
"Madame,' he said, still very politely
''there Is another objection which | have
not urged, but which | think will be IA
tai by the appointment you desire. 1t
would be a violation of law-.''
Nonsense there is no law to pre-
vent ladies acting as carriers"
''Llsten,' continued the Postmaster
''The order which directs the appoint
ment of these letter carriers, specifies al
