TIE FIRE DEpARTMENT.-There are no
further esvelopmen,s in regard to the 'ru-
mored changes in the Fire Department mea'
toned in our issue Of yesterday, and the gen.
tlemen spoken Of in the closing paragraph are
as ignorant as ourselves Of what the Radicals
intend to do. The integrity and efficiency OF
the Fire Department is a matter in which we
all feel an interest, for it affects the security OF
every piece OF property in the city, and no
change should be made in this department., OF
least, on accounted the politics Of the incup-
bents. There is not one officer OF the Fire De-
nartnent who has the slightest sympathy with
the Radicals, or who could be bought over to
their party by any brlbe. They are good men and
tue, they know their duty and do II, ,,they are
the right men in the right place, and If public
considerations have any weight with Council
not one Of the present officials will be dis
turbed.

Crossing q BAYOU,

II was out hunting once" he soid,
In good Westernee which I shall not
attempt to initiate, ION this river (the
! Mississippi, and came late in the day
to bayou. My way lay down the riv-
er, and round that bayou was six or sew
en miles, while across it was only two
or three hundred yards. l didn't want
the walk, and didn't want to be belat-
ed, so l determined to try the bayou.
| There was no water In 1t; it was all mud,
that kind Of Shiny, greasy quick mud
that holds on to man, and slowly sucks
him down in spite of al! his strength. T
knew the danger, but thought could
manage it. Hunting about found two
planks washed up from some old 1at
boat, maybe years before. With these
l started out, stepping from one to the
other. pulling first one and then the 9TH
er from behind me and putting it ahead,
till l got to about the middle Of tho
bayou. Every step had taken was
more and more difficult. The farther
went the more my planks were sucked
down by the devilsh mud, till I could
stand up no longer, but was obliged first
to sit, and then to lie down fiat on my
stomach, to divide my weight more
equally. Hauling myself on to the fore
most, | would turn round as on pivot,
grasp the plank behind, haul it along
side, and then shove it ahead of me-
Pretty soon I had to help my hands
with my teeth, for all the strength of
both was needed to raise the blanks
from the quagmire that sucked them
down. A: last one of them sunk beyond
my reach. Flat on my face on single
plank, in the middle of the bayou, tho
mud rising around me ready to swallow
me up.-l considered. couldn't swim
ashore, for wasn't in the water: I
couldn't wade, for to stand up was to 20
down like plummct; to move six inch
es either way was sure death. No hu.
man aid could ever reach me: no human
creature might pass that way for
months; no house, no road was within
miles of me. My only chance for life
was another plank. That | must have
or lie there till starved to death. or roll
over and make an end of it in the nasty
mud. Then | remembered my jack
khiie. Getting it out of my pocket,
cut under me, lying Hat as was, slow
Iy and patiently upon the plank that
long seasoning had made almost rs hard
AS iron, till cut it in two. Then pull
ing myself forward on the farther half,
drew the hindmost ahead of me again.
ana so went on AS before. got out at
last; but, stranger | was the ugliest
looking white man when | crawled
ashore that ever you did see." He
patted his long rifle atfcctionatcly, and
added: but never parted with her."

Postal Facilities in Euulnnd


The Post-Oilice has won the conf
dencc OF the people of Great Britain,
The Chamber Of Commerce of Edinburgh.
aud the associated Boards of Trade, and
/ many leading merchants of England.
/ have petitioneu Parliament to empower
1t to assume all the telegraph lines Of
the Kingdom; and after several elaborate
reports and estimates from commissions
ers aud officials, u bill has been carried
through the principal stages in the
House of Commons providing for the
purchase of all the lines in the kingdom
ana the reduction Of the charge for all
! telegrams toa uniform rate of twenty
four cents for each message of twenty
words, beside .he address, with an addi-
ton OF ten cents for ten words or less
added to the message.
1t is proposed also TO connect the wires
with the post-oilicos in all towns and
villages whose population exceeds two
thousand, and that each post office and
each pillar box should he made a depos-
itory for telegrams to be written on
paper bearing twenty four cent stamp,
ana addressed to the nearest telegraph
office, to be transmitted free from any
further charge for transmission or de-
livery within post office limits. 1t Is
also proposed, as a further facility, that
book shall be published yearly, and
sold for siNpcnce, containing Il list Of all
post and telegram offices; and that, " hen
telegram is addressed to town not
reached by the wires, the telegram, on
its arrival at the end Of the wire, shall
be sent free of postage by the first mail,
or, if stamped express shall be sent Oh
by a special messenger.
Thus the state is bringing telesraphy
home TO the people, giving facilities for
the most rapid interchange Of thoughts
aud desires, providing new safeguards
for life, promoting human happiness,
advancing commerce and public i'm
provement. 1t is the ambition of Eng
land to be foremost among nations iu
placing on proper footing the depart
ment of the electric telegraph, as she
has already presented to manki ind u per-
feet system Of postal communication.
Shall the United States, which invent.
ed the steamship, which first made cleo
tricity useful, which established between
Baltimore and Washington the first
line adapted for the transmission Ut
messages, resign to England the su-
premacy in both steamships and tele.
