New Postal Arrangement.

By the new postal law which
came into operation on the lSt of
July, a great benefit has been con-
terred upon the general public. Ac.
cording to the new regulations,
packages of dry goods, hardware,
drugs Except liquid drugs and
other merchandise, not exceeding
twelve ounces in weight, can be
mailed to any part of the United
States at a charge of two cents for
each two ounces or fraction of two
ounces. Much time and money
will be saved by this arrangement.
The post Office authorities will
forward twelve ounce packages to
San Francisco for twelve CENTS
Fer instance, if a pair of boots, if
neither boot weighs more than the
specified twelve ounces, may be
wrapped up in two separate par
GELS, and sent. across the continent
for twenty-four cents. Up to the
present time it is said the post
Office has lost money by the new
system, simply owing to the fact
that the general public has not
taken advantage of it to such an
extent as will make it remunera-
tive. But it is confidently expect,
ed that when the advantages Of
the system are thoroughly appre-
ciated, the scheme will prove as
profitable to the Government as it
is beneficial to the public.

If you belong to a wealthy
family in the City of Mexico
nowadays, and drive into the
country a few miles from that
capital, you will be gobbled up
by guerrillas, who will send the
cheering intelligence to your
friends that they want 81, 900 or
$4,000, and if it is not forthcom-
ing in so many hours you will be
shot. The funeral over you a
few days later, when your body
is found by the roadside, horri-
bly, mutilated, will be very I'M
pressive. Mexico is nice
healthy country for poor people
at this time.

The author of the "Desultory
Sketches in the GALAXY, tells
the following s'ory OF John Van
Buren:
In the campaign of 1856 he
took an active part in support OF
Mr.. Buchanan, the great moral
question having ceased to inter
i est him. l accompanied him on
an electioneering tour through a
part of Ohio, and some of the
Southern counties. He had pre-
pared a strong, political speech and
as reporting in those days was not
as general or perfect as it is now,
the intellectual labor of the expe-
dition was not eXhaustieg. He
was to speak in a town on the
Western Reserve. and as consid.
cradle preparation had been made
toget a large number Of people
to gether, the services of several
local orators had been engaged,
but, of course, Mr.. Van Buren's
speech was expected to be the
principal feature of the entertain.
men. Unfortunately, John was
taken i'll the night before, and
although he was able to take a
seat on the platform, was too much
indisposed TO address the audience.
In this exigency Van Buren ip-
sisted that should make speech.
I had previously spoken briefly
when there was a dearth of COM
petent orators, but speechmaking
was not in my line. Still, as be
Was SO pressing, | concluded to
make an effort. to
As it was an unusual occasion,
the reporters were present in
force. | heard Van Buren's
speech so often that | knew all
of it, anecdotes and all; and
to requite his i'll Offices in get
ting me into the scrape, / deter
mined to make his speech. He
saw the trick | Was practiclng up
on him before | had uttered three
sentences, and he tegan to scold
and swear at me in an undertone
with so much vehemence and af
fected Indignation as to horrify
several pious old Democrats who
were on the platform with us.
Course your impudencer' be ex-
claimed, soto Uoce, "who the devil
expected you would take the
words out Of my MOUTH" pro
ceeded, paying notthe slightest at
tention to his ohjurgations, and
he quieted down after q while.
But when l reeited one Of lis
most piquant anecdotes, which he
never told without general burst
of applause, and which was re-
ceived with the uproarious man
ifestations of delight, he broke
out again: "The meanest thing
ever done. You might just as
we'll pick my pocket. Catch me
taking you along as a foil again!
I'd rather have dummy for a
companion. You shall have my
hat and clothes when the meeting
breaks up" BY this time the
gentlemen on the platform saw
through the thing, and evidently
enjoyed the joke and speech a
great deal more than John did.

We regret the unfortunate and
somewhat muddled condition of
the political situation in TenneS-
see at this journalistic hour, but
do not feel at all embarrassed by
it. To our view the path is plain
enough. AS long as we elect to
remain in association with, or to
publish a paper in support of, any
political organization, we propose
to conform to its established prac-
tice and usages in the selection Of
candidates. When we are led TO
believe that it is our duty to aban-
don such organization, we will
