10000 feet atove, the sea near
the line Of the Central Pacific
Railroad, from which it can be
readily reached by a short and
easily constructed wagon road.
Professor Young, of yarmouth
College, has been experiment
ing with larger instruments, at
Sherman, on the Rocky Noun
tains, at an elevation of 7,243
feet above the sea.
The results Of these observ-
ers will be presented in reports
that will probably lead to the
locating of the twenty-seven
inch retracting telescope at one
ofthese elevations. The lenses
for this telescope are being
ground by he Messrs. Clark, of
Cambridgeport, Mass, for the
United States Government, at
an expense of nearly fifty thou
sand dollars. With such a tel
escope, and the high magnify.

Sending Dry Goods by Mail.

The parcel postal law, which
went into operation July 1;
1872, provides that packages Of
dry goods, hardware, drugs Tex
cept liquid drugs), and other
merchandise not exceeding
twelve ounces in weight, may
be mailed to any part of the
United States at a charge of
two cents for each two ounces
or fraction oftwo ounces. Much
time and money will be saved
by this arrangement. The ex:
press companies demand at
least forty cents for the trans
portation of a package however
small, for any distance. The de-
partment has lost, up to this
time, by this system. This is
owing to the fact that the pee:
pie have not avaiIed themselves
of its advantages, which is prob
ably due to the tact that it is
not yet universally known. IL
takes time to get such facts be:

George Benson was a smart,
intelligent young man, poor,
but engaged in a profitable
business, which bid fair to, IN a
few years, place him in lnde.
pendent circumstances. He
wished to marry, but felt the
necessity of wedding some one
who was domestic, and who
would be a helpmate.
He was very much interested
in both Hettie and Josephine,
and hardly knew, which he
should prefer for wife, as both
had many excellent qualities,
but finally concluded to decide
; in favor of the one who should
prove the most domestic.
