THE New POSTAL ARRANGBMENT.-By the
new postal law, which came into operation on
the 1st of July, great benefit has been con-
ferred upon the general public. According to
the new regulation, packages of dry goods,
hardware, drugs Except liquid drugs) and
other merchandise not exceeding twelve ounces
in weight can be mailed to any part of the
United States at charge of two cents for each
two ounces or fraction of two ounces. Much
time and money will be saved by this arrange
ment. The post Office authorities will forward
twelve ounce package to San Francisco for
twelve cents For instance, pair of boots, if
neither boot weighs moro than the specified
twelve ounces, may be wrapped UP in two sep
arate parcels, and sent across the continent for
twenty -four cents. Up to the present time. it
is said, the post office has lost money. by the
new system, simply owing to the fact that the
general public has not taken advantage of it to
such an extent as will make it remuncrative.
But it is confidently expected that when the
advantages of the system are thoroughly ap-
preciated, the scheme will prove as profitable
to the Government as it is beneficial to the
public 1t is, in fact, nothing more nor less
than an adaptation of the English parcel post
and although the charges in England are some
what less than the rate adopted here, yet, when
it Is remembered that the distances are as moth
ing when compared with those in this country,
it will be seen that there is no cause for dissat-
| isfaction.

APPLYING THE PLATFoRM.-Hon. John B.
Baldwin, of Augusta County, Va, in his speech
in the Convention at Richmond, gave an anus
ing illustration of the way in which he applied
the Cincinnati platform and Mi. Greeley's his
tory, to answer the objections of those who are
opposed to his acceptance by the Southern
people.
Mr.. Baldwin said he had lately been in New
York and had met there several of that class
of gentlemen, one of whom had approached
him with very determined resolution to per-
suade him to drop the Chappaqua farmer by
some means or other.
GLOW can you Southern men support Gree
ley?" said this anxious patriot Don't you
remember what he has written and said about
you years ago"
"Ah WE'LL" said Mr.. Baldwin, 1--WE have
granted him general amnesty for that"
"But," continued he, "you must remember
his course during the war 1t is impossible
you can support him after that"
$50 it would be, but we have removed his
disabilities"
"But my dear sir, he cannot possibly be elec-
ted, and you are putting yourself in bad p.o,
sition by supporting man who will surely be
beaten"
"Well, we don't know how that may turn
out" wound up Mr.. Baldwin, "but anyhow

SOUTHERN BAPTIST THEOLOGICAL SEAlINA-
RY.-The Committee to locate the Southern
Baptist Theological Seminary, at their final
meeting at Louisville, August z, 1872, passed
the following resolutions:
Resolued, That after due consideration of
all the alaces offered for location, taking into
account the advantages presented by each, it
seems best to locate the Seminary within or
near the corporate limits of Louisville, KY.
Resolved, That the particular site for the
buildings be left for further consideration and
decision.
Resolued, That this location is made upon
the condition that at least three hundred thou
sand dollars be raised in Louisville and the
State at large.
Resozved, That the Board will, as soon as
practicable after the raising of this amount
from Kentucky, proceed to raise the further
amount elsewhere of two hundred thousand
dollars
Resolred, That the Executive Committee Of
the Board be requested to send the Treasurer
as agent, into Kentucky by the first of October
if possible, that he may canvass the State Wig
orously, so that the sum offered in Kentucky
may be raised by the first of May, 1873.
Resolued, That Brethren Burrows, Henderson
and Pritchard be appointed a subcommittee to
prepare and present to the Board, at the annu-
al meeting in Mobile in May next, report Of
the circumstances and causes which have led
the committee to the conclusions that have
been reached.

KEEP UP THE FAMILY ArrAclIMENT.-One
of the saddest things about a large family who
have lived happily together for years under the
old rooftrcc, IS the scattering of distant homes,
which takes place as they grow up, one by one,
to years of maturity. 1t is often the case that
in the cares and hustle of business, letters grow
more and more infrcqucnt, and finally brothers
and sisters will sometimes entirely lose sight of
each other. These kindred tics are much too
sacred to be thus lightly severed. 1t takes such
a little while to write u letter, and the expense
is so trifling, there can hardly be an excuse for
the neglect.
to grow very ncglcctful of lcttcr.writing. Oh,
if they knew how many, hcartachcs such neg neg
lect often causes to the loving breast that pill
lowed their tired heads in childhood, they
would not be so thoughtlcss. If they knew
the JOY that letter brought, and could see how
its lightest words were dwclt over and talked
over by the tireside, they would not be so
sparing of their messages. Arc not some of us
sadly in arrears in this particular?

Lead Pencils.

lead pencil is in itself q small affair, but
considered as manufactured product, it rises
into much Importance. To start frst-class
factory. with improved machinery and stock OF
well-seasoned wood, requires capital OF about
100000; ground covered is about halt an acre,
chieAyioccupied by drying houses tor the stor-
age of red cedar. The Florida red cedar IS
mostly used in this country and in Europe
some .'iben". wood, as the Germans call It, or
English yew, is used in Germany-whlte pine
is occasionally used for a common grade OF
carpenters pencil.
The lead" of the pencils is the well-known
graphite or plumbago; the best of this is the
natural. found in a pure state in masses large
enough to cut into strips. OF this there is but
one mine up to the standard, which is in Asiat-
ic,Siberia, and pencils made from this graphite
are all one grade, and pay here fifty cents per
gross special, and thirty per, cent. Gd vdtorem
duty. The Cumberland mines in England,
were. the first discovered, but are now exhaust
ed, What was formerly refused in cutting the
graphite is now ground, cleaned and refined,
and, then, mixed with fine clay.
Inimixing the clay and graphite, great care
must be taken in selecting and cleaning the
clay and getting the proper proportions; the
mixture, with water, after being well kneaded,
is placed in large receiver and strongly COM
pressed and forced out through small groove
at the bottom, in the shape of a thread of the
thickness and style required-either square,
octagon, or round. This thread, or lead wire
is cut in bars of proper length (done by
little girls,) and then Strengthened, dried at a
moderate heat and packed in air-tight cruci-
bles and placed in the furnaces: the grade of
the pehcif depends upon the amount of heat it
is exposed to, the amount of clay used IN mix
ing, and the quality of the plumbago. The
eoIoring of the lead is by various pigments.
The wood, after being thoroughly seasoned,
is cut in thin strips and dried again, then cut
into strips pencil length. These strips are
grooved by machinery, then carried on belt
TO the glueing room, where the lead is glued IN
the groove, and then the other half of the pen
Gil glued on. After being dried under pressure,
they are sent to the turning room and rounded,
squared, or made octagon, by very ingenious
little machine, which passes them ready for
polishing or coloring-the former is done on
iathes by boys, and the latter by machine
which holds the brush and turns the pencils
fed to it through hopper. After the pencil is
polished, it is cut the exact length by circu-
lar saw, and the end is cut smooth by drop
knife, the pencil resting on an iron bed.
The stamping is done by hollow die, which
is heated; the gold or silver foil is then laid on
the pencil, which rests in an iron bed, and the
die is then pressed on it by a screw lever. The
pencils are then ready to go to the packing
room, whence they find their way to all parts
of the civilized world at prices ranging from
two to twenty dollars per gross.-Anaerlcan Er'

ANEcporE OF GENERAL LEE.-Not man

ANEcDoTE OF GENERAL LEE.-Not many
anecdotes are extant illustrative of the humor
and wit of the late General Robert E. Lee, for
the sufficient good reason that the General
wore gravity and severity of manner toward
all but his most intimate friends inconsistent
with the sallies which at odd times, however,
he made in the happiest style. AT the close Of
the first session of Washington College, after
Gen. Lee had become President of that institu-
ton, lin the Chapel of which he is now
buried abont sixteen young gentlemen, all
from the South, were graduated with full collie
giate honors, and delivered public addresses
on Commencement Day. The General, with
the rest of the Faculty, occupied seats OIL the
stand, and the youthful orators, naturally am
bilious of shining as much as possible on such
an occasion and in the eyes of the Confederate
chieftain, sprinkled their speeches with an
unusually large quantity of rhetorical gems
and flowers in particular alluding very fire.
quently and pointedly to the General in lofty
terms of eulogium, which above all things in
the world he disliked. AS one after another
emptied himself Of his glittering language, the
impatience of General Lee obviously increased.
Presently, while the band was performing, he
leaned toward Col. VIM. Allen, one of the Pro-
fessors, and enguired, in his peculiar slow,
modulated tone: "Col. Allen, how many more
of them are TO speak 2"
"Only four more, General" replied Col.
Allen.
General Lee hitchcd his chair little closer,
and with all the solemnity, asked, "Couldn't
you arrange it, Colonel, for all four to speak al
once H'

SINGULAR VARIETY OF CoTToN.-Dr. T. l..
Anderson, of Wilkes County, has developed,
BY cultivation and careful selection of seed, a
variety of cotton which is certainly a curiosity,
and may prove very valuable variety. This
cotton is peculiar on account of its excessive
fruitfulness and the manner in which the bolls
are developed AS described by the Washing
ton Gazette, in growth and appearance the
weed has the resemblance of the prolific vari-
cites, growing up in somewhat conical form,
thoug we think the growth is more vigorous
than these varieties. The squares and blooms
grow in clusters, and very thick. A very large
proportion of the bolls are what we would call
double, for want of better word-that is, two
bolls are produced from the same square. This
tendency to doubling is exhibited throughout
the plant, and the stalk and limbs of many
specimens seem TO take on the same character
istic, there being groove on each side, present
ing somewhat the appearance of n double bar
relied gun. This crowding Of the bolls does
not seem to diminish their size, but they are
generally very large and healthy in appearance.
Upon one stalk in his field Mr. a. exhibits
fifteen young bolls so closely clustered as to be
covered with single open hand. He has ta-
ken great pains during the past TWO or three
years TO preserve the seed pure and unmixed
with other varieties. He has now several acres
planted in this cotton, and we wish that his
experiment may be of value to himself and the
cotton interests Of the country.-Augusta
Chronicle.
