THE FRANKtNG PRIVILEGE.

The Postmaster General has made
Report to the Senate, which reveals the
extent to which the ranking privilege
burdens the mails and deprives this
branch of the public service of its uiil
ity to the people, if not of its revenue.
In December 1869, each post master
was instructed to take an accurate
monthly account Of all free matter de
posted at his respective Office for mails
ing during the six months ending June
both 1870. The total number of offices
from which reports were due were
2S,492; but nearly 10000 wholly
failed to report. The returns of the
1886 reporting Offices show that within
six months there were transmitted
5,140,795 franked letters, the postage
npon which would have been S655, ,.548;
and 2,047 ,97l pounds of other fran ked
matter, such as printed documents and
deeds, upon which the postage would
have amounted to S260,548, making
altogether S9l6,396. At fair rate
of estimate for the 10000 non>re>
porting offices, the total number of
franked letters would be for the six
months 0,894 ,497 postage on them
1898, ,070; printed matter, ETC., $685.
1876 pounds; postage on same $685.
393 50. Total postage for six months,
Sl,27f,6 ,6G3 So; for one year, 81, ,543,>
327 10. 1t is undoubtedly true that's a
very small portion Of the matter frank
ed is in any way of public service, and
if the privilege were abolished an im>
merse sa sing would ensue, not merely
in the diminished expense Of carrying
the mails, and Increased revenues of
the department, but in the quantity of
documents printed for transmission.
We still look to the present Congress
for the carrying out of measure that
is demanded by the interests of the
people, aud sincerely hope it will meet
with no obstacles until its final consum.

Cheering Facts for the Bilious.

ADvENT.-On Sunday lust began the
season which all Episcopal Churches
whether Roman, Greek, Anglican or
Asatic, regard us an ecclesiastical year.
Advent has double significance. 1t
is commemorative of fact, and it is Il
monument Of a doctrine; of the fact Of
our Lords incarnation; of the doctrine
OF His coming again. Strangely enough
the existing custom Of beginning u
sacred year ut Advent is not the origi
nal practice of the Christians. The
first usage of the Church was Jewish.
The Jews had two years-a civil aud Il
religious year. The former began with
the October new moon, the latter with
the April new moon. The April moon
brought with its iulness the feast of the
Passover. Corresponding Herewith, the
primitive disciples reckoned their holy
year from Easter, the Christian Pass.
over. The change of reckoning to Ad-
vent did not take place until after the
fall Of the Western Empire of Rome,
aud then under tho influence of half
heretical historians of the earth. The
season of Advent, ITSELF is of compare.
lively late origin. 1t FIRST appears as
kind of irregular fast, kept on three
days Of the week, from the 18th of
November until Christmas. This is
still the usage of the Greek Church.
1u the west. however, the season EN-.
braces the four Sundays preceding the
18th of December.
