N ait Robbery,

Tampering with registered letter packages
lie sin witch many modern postma-ters are
addicted to. The last offender captured was
wa, ]. L. Holmes, late Postmaster of Wich-
ia. k,usas. He was arrested and brought
to this city day before yesterday by Major
J.hn NJ. CrowelI, special agent of the Post
office Department, and was examined yester.
day before United States Commissioner
Lecompie, and bound over in the sum oil
$4,000 to appear before the United States
District Court In the absence of the Cnited
States Attorney, Judge English represented
the United States. Thos. 7. Fenlon ap-
peared as counsel for the accused. There
were twenty charges of abstracting money
from the mails, but the examination was by
consent made on one distinct charge. The
remaining charles will be laid before the
grand jury.
The depredations committed by Holmes
were many. Several thousand dollars in
money and drafts were known TO be missing
Toward the latter end OF his official career,
the Postmaster went for the packages quite
lively.
Special Agent Croweli did not describe the
manner of the detection and arrest-he new
er dies tell, vet it is fact that he ferrets out
more mischief OF the mail robbing kind than
any Of his predecessors in Kansas ever did.
CroweiI ia one of the shrewdest and best
agents in the service of the Government.
When he gets a clue TO a missing package
he keeps the trail until the offending indi-
vidual is secured. He was engaged three
weeks on the case mentioned herein.

COOPERATION IN FARMING IN ENGLAND
Cooperation is likely to be tried in farming
as thoroughly as it has been already in man
uiacturing. Mr.. Walter Morrison, NJ. Z.
for Plymouth, a radical liberal, has bought
a farm at Brampton Brian in Ilerelordshire
place Of singular beauty, and has drafted
a set of rules under which it it to he worked
the cooperative principle being the foun.
dation-stone Of the enterprise. But it is not
radical liberals alone, nor perhaps mainly,
who are bent on such experiments. Sir John
Pakington, who has been tory minister of the
colonies, of the admiralty, and Of war, has
a similar plan maturing, and will shortly de-
vote 800 acres to a cooperative farm. Earl
Nelson, granddaughter of the great admiral,
and the earl of Carnarvon, another ex-tory
minister, are considering the same sort of
thing, aud mean to try the experiment. Mr..
Strange of the Cambridgeshre laborers'
union is to be the manager of the Brampton
Brian farm, and for aught know Mr.. Arch
himself may yet be in like position for some
great landowner. We are getting on rapid.

The Danbury Nelrs man says If you
have occasion to use wheelbarrow, leave it,
when you are through with it, in irontoft the
house with TIE handles toward the door. A
wheelbarrow is the most complicated thing
to fall over on the face of the earth \
man will fall over one when he would never
think of falling over anything else he new
err knows when he has got through falling
over it either for it will tangle his legs and
his arms turn over with him and rear up in
front of him, and just as he pauses in his
profanity to congratulate himself it takes
new turn, and skoops more skin of of him, and
he commences to evolute anew, and bump
himself on fresh places. A man never ceas.
Us to fall over a wheelbarrow until il turns
completely on its back, or brings up against
something it cannot upset. 1t is the most
inofensive looking object there is, but it is
more dangerous than a locomotive, and no
man is secure with one unless he has a tight
hold Of its handles, and is sitting down on
something. A wheelbarow has its uses,
without doubt, but in its leisure moments it
is lighting curse on true dignity.

A Texan couple started out the other day,
accompanied by their friends, to get married !;
a hotel several miles distant was the object,
i've point of the gay party, and when they
reached it a clergyman was speedily summon
ed and everything made ready. But just
then the groom felt the most serious mis-
givings as to his ability to go through the
trying ordeal. He went out in the open air
to ruminate, promising to be back in a mo-
ment, and sat down on stump he never
felt so queer in all his life, and, hastily con-
Guiding that it was too much for human en-
durance, he took to his heels and hasn't been
seen since. TIE expectant bride appeared to
be little annoyed, for she had to drive home

The number of agricultural journals in the
United States at the time of the last census
was 93, with total circulation Of 1888
subscribers, or an average of S,072 subscri-
bers to each journal. This branch of jour
nalism has received much encouragement in
the last two decades, an a good agricultural
and family paper is one of the most useful to
circulate among the community. 1t is OBJ
served that in every town where good agri-
cultural papers are largely taken, the crops
are heaviest and industry thrves.
