The New PosTAL LAW.-It does not seem
to be generally understood that by the new
postage law packages Of dry goods, hard
ware and other merchandise. except liquid
drugs, weighing twelve ounces or less, may
be mailesl to any part OF the Union, at a uni
form rate Of two cents for every two ounces
or fraation thereof. Thus, package weigh
ing twelve ounces may be transmitted be-:
tween any two psints in the United States
for twelve cents. The public have avalled
themselves as yet to so triaing an extent of
this most liberal law, hat the system has not
been made. to pay expenses. The reason
must be q Want of knowledge that the adVan-
tages here mentioned could be claimed .-S.

SAN FRANCISCO. The San Joaquin
Republican says San Francisco is model
theoretical saint, and very practical
sinner. When the moral fit is on she
slops over dreadlully, and when she re-
turns to her walow, she wallows all over.
She opened her grand lottery game with
prayer, and closed it after making hugo
winning. Then she became pious and
prosecuted every other lottery game in
the country. She raised one hundred
thousand dollars fer the sufferers by the
Chicago fire, and refused to loan Caifor-
mia farmers ten thousand dollars worth of
seed wheat. She has been the paradise
Of gamblers for twenty years, and all at
once she " "sours on faro. Stock gam
bling and "high" for luck" are still
orthodox. Queer village. The faro gam
blers have only to wait for new deal,
and they will be again extended the right
hand Of fellowship. She will slop over

A FESEE STORY.

The last fish story comes from New
jersey. Lately in the interior of that
State, a mild-looking countryman en-
| tered a railway car, bearing budle done
up in n handkerchief, which he placed
under his seat at the end of the car After
travelling along for about half an hour, a
lady setting in front of the countryman
was observed TO move uncasily in her
scat, and cast strange glances ut n seem
ingly respectful man sitting by her side.
In few minutes another lady still fur
thor to the front "became uneasy" and
at last, rising in her Seat, requested some
gentlemen would protect her from an
eldcrly-loohing gentleman mt her side !;
and whom she stated had insutod her.
\ dozen persons offered their assistance,
and before the accused could speak in
his own defence, his hat was jammcd over
his eyes, and he was dragged to the rear
of the car. While there and carrying on
with the avengers war of words rs to
what the indignity meant, still another
lady rose, also further up the car, and
accused gontleman sitting behind her
of improper conduct. A rush was made
for the now offender, but that gentleman
vigorously defended himself with Il large
walking-stick he happened to have (and
which, by the by, was one cause Of the
last troubles, his accuscr stating that he
had indecorously been rapping her ankles
under the scat with the samc) and while
the struggle TO get ut him was still in
progress, somebody in the front OF the
ear shouted, "Thcrc's a snake on the
floor !" A scene then cnsucd. The la
dies in the cars clambercd up ON the seats
and many got on the arms and backs of
the same. One elderly maiden managed
to stand on the backs of two seats in the
best circus manner possible under the
circumstances, while II young mother
threw her baby into n parcel rack, and
then hung conVulsively to vontilator.
The confusion aWoAc the countryman,
who, on being told OF the snake, first felt
in his bundle and then exclaimed, "Im
blamed if that old eel hain't got loose"
lie then started for the front, and soon
returned grasping firmly an immense eel,
which he had caught while out fishing,
but which, when brought into the car,
had managed to get out Of the bundle,
and had wonded its way to the front,
1,,.t,,.I,, ~
Of ladies' garters which he encountered
on the way. Apologies given and re-
ceiyed stroightened everything in that
ear but the hat that was jammcd down,
and the countryman leaving ut the next
station, no blood was drawn.

DEAD HEADs.-This term is often ap-
piled to editors and reporters, because
they are admitted to the exhibition on
whatever it may be without money and
without price," and many Of the unthink-
ing believe them to be favored class of
persons who have Il right to 60 where
they choose without coming under the re-
quiremcnts Of others. But what are the
facts ? A cotcmporary illustrates this by
supposing an entertainment to be given,
and that the editor is dead -headed to the
amount Of four tickets, sold at twenty-five
cents apiece, that is one dollar. The en-
tertanmcnt must be "noticed" " before
hand and "pufGd" " afterwards. The
notices and pufHs must be written, com
positor hired to set the type, and the
proof must be read, ETC., for all Of which
it costs the editor over four dollars out OF
his own pocket. Hence where any one
else can get it for twenty-five cents, he
(because he is an edtor) must pay about
five dollars, and wear the beautiful title
Of "dead head" to boot. 1t is a fine
thing, isn't it?

"STRAW BIDS. ."-Those straw bids
for carrying the mails, which Congress
proposes to look into and apply a remedy
therefor, are made thusIy: When the
Post Office Department invites proposals
for carrying the mails, the old contractor
produces some person to make n fraudu-
lent or STRAW bid, so low that it is GER
tain to be accepted. When the time
comes for the bidder to assume the duties
Of carrier, he is not to be found, and con
sequcntly the mails over the route have
to STOP or the Department must pay the
old contractor to continue in service until
new bids can be advertised, for the law
does not permit the next highest bidder
to have the contract. New proposals are
then invited, but often the " straw" bid
ding is continued indefinitely, the old
contractor, Of course, rcaping the benefit.

THE DIR. ROBINSON CAsE.-Scveral
Mormons have recently been indicted in
Salt Lake City, charged with the murder
Of DR.. j. II. Robinson, formerly Of Ca
lais, Maine. He was a man of unblem-
ishcd character, and was practicing his
profession in Salt Lake City. A few
months before his murder he married Il
young and accomplished Mormon wo-
man, though he was Gcntilc and super
intendent of the Gentle sabbath school
of that city. In October, 1866, Brigham
Young organized n campaign to rid the
Territory of Gentiles. At this time, Dr.
Robinson claimed certain property neal
the city, and had located on and com
mcnccd to improve it. This also the
Church claimed, and during the night OF
the llth Of October a gang Of disguised
men-20 to 80 in number-entcrcd on the
Doctors land and destroyed his build
ings for this ohense, the Chief OF Police
of Salt Lake City and two Of his subor-
dinates were arrested and held to bail.
On the Goth of October, DR.. Robinson
went to the house Of the Mayor of that
city to give notice that he intended to
hold the city responsible for the loss he
had suffered, but he refused TO listen
to him, and ordered him to leave the
house. On the night of October 22d, the
Doctor was called from his bed to render
surgical aid for fictitious case. When
but few steps from his house he was
fclled to the earth, and shot through the
brain while he was down. 1t was on a
bright moonlight night, and on the cor
ncr of one of the principal streets Of the
city, precisely where the police ought to
have been, but were not, that his seven
assassins cowardly and brutally murder
ed this man in the faith and practices OF
the Mormon Church. The police made
no effort to search for the murders and a
doctor who was sent for to attend the dy-
ing man, refused to come. A sham in
vestigation was made, but Of course
nobody found out what it was not design
ed should be known. But it happened,
that at the time the murder was commit
ted, two men, who were not yet Saints
except in embryo, were standing near
enough to the murdered man to rccog-
nize who killed him. Their mouths were
sealed until the times became mpropi-
tious for the Church, that is to say, pro-
pitious for justice, and safe to Gentle
humanity. That time has at last come,
and the lips OF the witnesses have been
opened.

Trout EGGS. - From the 1t0 we
learn that the Acclimatizing Society OF
California received 5000 spcckled trout
eggs from Now York last week, but ow-
ing'to the detention on theroad they were
spoiled. A second lot was received few
days later and placed in the troughs OF
the Matching house at San Pedro Point,
in San Matco county. They will not be
hatchcd for month, but they are nearly
all good, and the probable loss will not
be five per cent, against seven per cent.
on a lot received last year. One OF the
ponds has been slightly damaged by a
landslide, but the dams were not hurt by
the food. The Society has ordered 5000
eggs to be sent out every week till the
end Of the Spring season in March.

GRANTS Policy IN OEEGoN.-A cor
respondent Of the Sacramento Union,
writing from Salem, Oregon, says =
" Grants policy is evidently working ad-
mirably here in Oregon, and the Indians
are getting their moneys worth better
than ever before. The time when an
Agency was fortune in acouplc of years
is decidedly over, but | can look around
and find here and there a well-preserved
specimen of the old-timc Indian Agent
men who don t care what Grants policy
may be, but can point TO houses and land,
bank stock and mortgages, and thank
their stars that they had their turn in
Office when the policy was to let the Agent
have fair show, whether the Indians
have any show or not. One OF the mag
mates Of Democracy here graduated from
an Indian Reservation, and is quite
nabob. lie has the name of being the
actual Governor of Oregon and if he isn't
it is not easy TO guess who is. A witty
writer dubbed him at the last election A
retired artist in Indian Vouchers which
was a ccntor-shot and painfully rclished.
Really, our Indians under the present
policy arc making actual improvement
and showing gratifying appreciation Of
civilization"
