mine, who had been long suffering, and last week
suddenly became worse, desired the ministra-

for the nearest Protestant minister, who
happened to be the Rev. A. d. VAIL pastor
OF st. Johns Methodist Episcopal church, in Fifty
third street, near Eighth avenue. A messenger
called at Mr.. Wallis house about eight O'Clock on
Tuesday evening, and represented the Importance
OF speedy visit to the dying man. Instead OF re-
spending gladly and promptly, as any Christian
minister under the circumstances ought to have
done, this aristocratic dominic first quibDed

to visit my brother, because, forsootn,

Desired Reformation.


rope-Bismarck's Plan-A Much to be
Desired Reformation.
LONDON, April 9, 1872.
The Chancellor Of the German Empire is con-
tempatng the Introduction Of extensive reforms in
the postal service throughout Europe. circular
is in course of preparation at Berlin inviting all
European governments to send delegates to the
German capital for the purpose Of preparing
treaty Of unity similar to the one existing among
the Geographic administrations OF Europe. The
invitation 1t is ntimated, will likewise be sent to
the government at Washington.
THE TELEGRAPH SYSTEM AND THE POST OFFICE
SYSTEM.
II win be recoected that the entire telegraph
system of more than twenty different countries is
worked under one and the same rule The most
perfect unity exists in all tariff or other regulations,
no matter whether the message is wired in the
Turkish dominion or in that Of the British Queen,
In Spain, Germany or elsewhere The rate is always
uniform treaty to that effect was concluded In
1867 the government OF the late Emperor of the
French having taken the initiative. THAT arrange
ment has worked successfully for the past five
years. and Prince Bismarck has conceived the idea
OF extending like facilities to all the different post
offices. uniform rate Of postage for letters and
newspapers is to be introduced throughout the
Postal Union, and 70 all countries not included
therein the rate shall be doubled
DESIRABLE REFORMATION.
1t is to be hoped that oil foreign governments will
give their adhesion Prince Bismarck's invitation
TO discuss the SUBJECT matter, as 1t would tend to
destroy the last remnants of vested rights and
monopoes In the transportation Of mails and pave
the way at the same time to facilitate the introduce
ton OF other necessary reforms.
THE END TO BE REACHED.
Prince Bismarck, 1t Is believed will not stop short
with half measures. The transportation OF mails is
or necessity, confined mostly TO the charge OF rail-
road companies, who, In some parts of the country,
manage the business to suit their own convenience
rather than to favor the interests of the
people. postal reform would be incom-
plete without the introduction OF an international
Railway law, the provisions Of which would compel
companies to run trains at such hours and at such
speed as the Postmaster General in the interest Of
the country, would deem necessary. The law in
Prussia Is good enough at this moment to carry out
the wishes OF the postal authorities; but the same
strong hand IL wanting In other countries and the
German Chancellor will endeavor to break up the
existing Irregularities which are damaging inter-
national relations.
