"RIDE FOR YOUR LIFE."-In the six
teenth century there were no post-ofices
in England. Government carriers, were
the only bearers of letters, except the COM
mon carriers, whose principal business was
the conveyance of parcela. These couri-
ers were under martial law and in the
time OF Henry WILL, were subject to the
penalty of hanging for delay upon the
road with their dispatches. The letters
of those days were consequently sometimes
-ornamented with q cheerful sketch Of o
galiows with q courier thereon suspended
Underneath was the admonition, "Hastei!
Post Haste! Haste for thy life =" Post
Offices and relays of horses were then es-
tablished at the principal towns along the
high roads, and the postmasters endorsed
on the Government dispatches the day and
hour of their arrival in transit. A letter
despatched from Plymouth to London in
1923, " For His Majesty's special SERVICE"
bears nine endorsements. The distance,
two hundred and fourteen miles by the
route taken, was accomplished in fifty sew
en- hours-a rate of about three miles and
three quarters per hour. On part of the
route the speed was greater, though six
miles was the highest speed made, and the
heavy portion of the road the rate was
two miles, aud even less. From tho penal
ty attached to slow riding or hating
came the proverbial saying Of "riding for
your life" which saying is usually supposed
to refer to flying from an enemy. From
the taking of private letters by the bear
ersof Government dispatches arose the
wonderful conVeniences of the modern
postal arrangements. 1t was from this cir
cumstancN that the transmission of the
mails has come to be portion of the du.
ties of Governments. The transmission
of Government dispatches by special mes
esngers offered facilities to the public
which, as correspondence increased, were
more and more valued aud improved, and
the advance of civilization and commercial
intercourse is largely due to the facilities

Tn0 C0t0I Ju6ClC0 once sat In CrI0I IN
which the merits of the dispute were these:
A Boston publisher of music, Mr.. Reed,
had brought suit against Mr.. Carusi, ri
val publisher, for an Infringement of copy

set the poem of Miss Eliza Cook, dear to
the last generation,, of "The Old Arm
defence that the music of the dear cold Arm
Chair" was au original composition, and
in no manner related to Mr.. Reeds Air
which was defended by the copyright. Up
on this question of fact there was confu-
sing conflict Of musical testimony, which
became worse and worse, as it got involved
in the technicallities of the art, and the
plaintiffs counsel at last proposed to solve
the difficulty by having the ballad sung in
court, first to the one tune, and then to the
other. 81 remember, writes Mr.. William

The inextirg uishable hatred with which
the people of Arizona regard the Apache
Indians was excited by o somewhat singular
circumstance. Many years ago a friend of
ours named Hopkins, who was an enthusiast
upon the au inject OF music, conceived an idea
that the surest way of civiiizing the red man
would be to brisg him under the soothing
Influences of the deyine art. Hopkins con-
cluded that this could best be done by
teaching each individual Indian to play
upon some instrument. So he bought about
sixteen hundred flutes aud started of for
Arizona. He settled down among the
Apaches, who were mnch' pleased with
Hopkius' scheme. So Hopkins began to
give music lessons, and in few weeks he
| had all those flutes employed, and the
silence Of the plains was broken by q
perfect cyclone Of B. flats and C-naturals.
The indians went into the thing with
enthusiasm; but the white people in the
neighborhood regarded the horrible uproar
with disgust. And that melodious old ass
of q Hopkins used to rush out with his six-
| teen hundred braves uon the calm So mer
| evenings, and make them rOost along on a
fence and practice their scales in unison
until the hair of every white man in the
| neiahborhood was screeched up on end.
After awhile Hopkins educated them up to
try to play Auld Lang Syne, and the way
those aboriginal performers would slide
| around among the notes and tear up and
down the bars and improvise extraordinary
and appalling variations would have made
even an italian organ grinder commit sui
eide. But Hopkins said he felt encOur-
aged, and so marched his orchestra into
town one evening tor the purpose of sere'
nading the mayor. And when those per-
formers had wrestled with that tune for
labout quarter of an hour, the citizens
formed a vigilance committee and hung
Hopkins, while they shot the orchestra all
to atoms and made a bonfire of the flutes
Since that time the Apaches and Arizoniane
have not been on speaking terms, but they
hate each other tiercely. The cause OF
musical science has not received any atten-
ton siuce then from the Apaches.

How isit New !

While James Buchanan was Prcsi.
dent Of the United States, says the
Free Press, he received letter from
W. c. Patterson, of Philadelphia, rec
ommendmg that the contract for GER
tain government work to be done in
that city should be awarded to the
firm of Merrick & Sons, # IL could be
dOae cjthom prejudice TO the puJdc SER
rice. The President sent the letter to
the Secretary of the Navy with this
Endorsement "The inclosed letter of
Colonel W. c. Patterson, of Philadel-
phia, is submitted to the attention of
the Secretary Of the Navy The
matter reached the ears of certain
very honest Radicals in the House,
and was made the subject of an invcs-
tigation by special committee. The
report of that com4aittce was very Sc
we're in its denunciations of President
Buchanan, plainly intimating that the
offcnse was of character so enormous
as to warrant his impeachment. We
arc freed to conclude that the moral
aspect Of such transactions has consid-
crably changed siIce that time. Grant
sent a letter to Mr.. G::innell to aid n
member of bis staff in scoring place
in the custom house, aid Let, the
staff officer and clerk in the War De
partment, was given an interest in a
business in connection with the custom
house affairs out Of which he has made
thousands Of dollars each year. The
fact is established before committee
of Congress, and yet we have not heard
any Of these Radical gentlemen de-
handing the impeachment Of Grant.
Buchanans ofense consisted of sending
letter, which asked for Il personal ia
vor, if it could be granted without de-
triment TO the public service. Grants
offense consists of asking favor which
was granted ab the expense of'tlre pub
lie service, and which has been shown
10 be a lit less dishonest and cor
rupt than theft or robbery. If Bu-
chanan deserved impeachment, what
does Grant deserve I? Ecet's favor
was a swindle, for which no rendered
no service whatever. The other case
was simply to ask favor. if it could
he granted without prjudice to the
public service.
