The NEW YORK PosToFFICE JUST Az
TER THE REyoLUTIoN.-On the 3Oth of
April, 1889, Washington was inaugu-
rated President, and the establishment
of the general postofice as now organiz-
ed Immediately followed Samuel Os-
good was appointed Postmaster General,
and assumed his duties in the city of
New York under the tuition of Sebastian
Bauman. What should be done with
this important official was evidently a
subject of Congressional discussion, for
We find officially recorded, that ''the
Postmaster General shall not keep any
office separate from the one in which the
mails arriving in New York are opened
and distributed, that they may by this
presence prevent irregularities, and rec
tify mistakes which may occur" In
fact. this now most important officer of
the general government, and his solitary
assistant and one clerk, then had nothing
to do; so they took their first lessons in
the service in the postofice of the city of
New York. At this time there were
throughout the United States seventy
five legally established postofices and
one thousand eight hundred and seventy
five miles of postofice routes.
In very short time the national cap
ital was transferred to Philadelphia,
which had three pennv-nost carriers when
New York had one-suggestive data of
the comparative Importance of the two
cities at that time. The Southern, or
Philadelphia mail left New York daily,
the Eastern mail tri-weekly, special
mails for New Jersey and Long Island
once a week. Mails to Albany were
carried on horseback, contractors remu-
neratioD. postage collected. ''-Harper's
Magazine.

EXTREME IN DREss.-Overdress is
vulgar, especially in woman, for the sun
lit and eye-lit street. Toilets, even
when tasteful as to color and style, de-
note, if habitually rich and snowy, men
tai vulgarity, their transparent design
being by superficial, maternal means, to
impress the beholder. The refined be-
holder is unfavorably impressed, suspect
ing such outward richness to be the
mask of inward poverty. A prevalent
fashion of costly dressing is a sign of
general vulgarity. The finest type of
ladyhood would recoil offended from her
mirror at seeing herself besilked, and
befeathered, and bejeweled. for morn
ing walk or drive. She will be as SIM
ply elegant in her attire, in doors, as
in her manners. and will not exhibit,
either in the one or the other, the slight
est offort to outvie her neighbor.-Er-
chanQe.

CELESTIAL FROLICS.

The sun had put his night-cap on,
And cover'd DER his head
When countless stars appear'd amid
The curtains round bis bed.
The moon arose, most motherly,
To take quiet peep
How all the stars behaved while he
Her sovereign was asleep.
She saw them wink their silvery eyes,
AS If in roguish play;
Though silent all, to her they seemed
AS if they'd much to say.
So, lest their frolics should disturb
The sleepless king of light,
She rose so high that her mild eye
Could keep them all in sight.
The stars abashed, stole softly back
And looked demure and prim;
Until the moon began to nod,
Her eyes becoming dim.
Then sleepily she sought her home,
That's somewhere-who knows where :?
But as she went, the playful stars
Commenced their twinkliDg glare.
And when the moon was fairly gone,
The imps with silvery eyes
Had so much fun it woke the sun,
And he began to rise.
He rose in glory from his eyes
Sprang forth a newborn day;
Before whose brightness all the stars
Ran hastily away.

The Boston Globe exhibits most la
mentable ignorance of the art of SPELL
ing. 1t says:
If DR. Houard Howard, Haywood,
Herwood, etc. ever returns here, Con-
gress ought to demand that he adopt the
name of Jones, which can only be writ
ten one way.
There are at least six ways of writing
that name-Jones, Joans, Joanes, Joanz,
Jonze, and Jonz-besides Geones and
G'Hones. When the Joneses become as
aristocratic as the Smiths who write Their
names with Us and e's, all these forms
will appear in the directories.

TO MY OLD BOOT.

Mine ancient pedal friend. last farewelli
So many days we've footed il together
The lane of life, in fair and stormy weather
Mine eyes wellnigh their lid-dykes oyerswell.
/ well remember when thou didst encase
My neither limbs with pressure warm and tight:
And many corny twinge from till night
Evinced the ardency of thine embrace.
Soon, like the love Of some long married wife,
Thy grasp. if not so strong. still true,
And pleasanter; and as grew in life
Thou vert as gentle plant shoe: --t--- - Z ?
And while on thee trampled every day.
To shield me thou didst wear thy very soul away.
Though despise the slander-monger's art.
And scorn the wretch who blackens the fair fame
or oxe whose richest fortune is his name,
The wretch whose steel goes deeper than the heart
Yet it has been my daily won't own,
To black thy face until its skin has shone
With ebon glow, as lustrous as the hue
That forms the charm of Guinea's native breed
But twas not that hated thee: indeed
priced thee SO, that when thy soul broke through
And let in water, twas my special heed
man of avis thy gaping wounds should sew;
And twitching pangs athwart my pocket shoot
To part with thee at last worn and faithful boot

A WEDDING IN THE OLDEN TIME-A
marriage hundred years ago in Eng
land is described in an old paper thus
Married in June, 1850, Mr.. William
Donkin, a considerable farmer of Great
Tosson, near Rothbury, in the county of
Cumberland, to Miss Eleanor Shotten,
an agreeable young gentlewoman of the
same place. The entertainment on the
occasion was very grand, there being no
less than l20 quarters of lamb, A quar-
ters of veal, 20 quarters of mutton, and
a great quantity of beef; IL hams, with
suitable number of chickens, etc.,
which was concluded with 8 half ankers
of brandy made into punch; II dozen Of
cider, great many gallons of wine, and
so bushels malt made into beer. The
company consisted of $50 ladies and
gentlemen, who concluded with the mu.
sic of % fddles and pipers, and the
whole was ended with the utmost order
and unanimity.'

MovING THE ,WoRLD.-If Archimedes
could have found his fulcrum, he would
still have found it quite job to move
the world. His lever would have had
to be so long, that had he applied only
thirty pounds, and moved it through ten
thousand feet per hour for ten hours a
day, the remote end of the lever would
have had to pass through an arc which
it would take 8 trillions, IA billions,
994 millions, 574 thousands, 737 of Gen.
turies to accomplish, in order to raise
the earth single inch. Archimedes
