TuE ST. Loris CoRREsroSpEST Of the
New York Times has put tho thought OF the
Western people and the aim Of the Con-
gressiunal convention In very few words.
lie says They have set their hearts upon
loading wheat In ocean steamers at 81. Louis
and sending II to Liverpool without breaking
bulk. The Mississippi river Is the existing
water-line Of transportation to the seaboard
which the people arc anxious to have I'M
proved. The Fort ST. Philip canal, to avoid
the sand.bars at the mouth Of the river, Is the
new line they want opened" To do this
large appropriations are required from Con-
grcss, and Congressmen have been invited
TO 81. Louis TO hear what h TO be
said upon the subject, and from per
,oual observation obtain an idea Of the
country. The substantial results Of the pro-
posed improvements would be the ability to
"carry wheat to Liverpool for twcnty-seyen
cents per bushcl, against tifty cents by way
Of New York, thirty-hvc cents from the Bal
tic to Liverpool, and forty-nvc cents from the
Black Sea provinces to the same port" II Is
very evident that the gentlemen who have
the matter In hand understand what they are
about. This ST. Louis convention Is, II we
are not mistaken, the initial point In new
departure upon which parties will rise and
fall, which will draw into IL the whole indus
trial forces Of the country in a struggle
against the railroad corporations.

"Thee would like to see him, would thee


not?"
"Oh, yes indeed should"
"Let us walk up stairs"
AS they went up the front stairs, Daniel
slipped down the back ones, and took his
stand in the front room. When they re-
turned, Mrs. Akin noticed a stalwart man
standing in the room with his back to the
door, and started back for an instant. The
Quaker said
at is friend, Mary"
Daniel turned around, but in the man
with the heavy beard and moustache Mary
did not recognize her husband. Daniel
advanced to the spot where Mary was
standing, and in voice tremulous with
emotion, exclaimed.
"Don't you know me, Mary?"
We leave the reader to imagine what the
meeting was. Friend Edgerton said he
must go and see Amy, and addressing him
self to Mary, said:
"Mary, this house and farm are thine.
Daniel has got the papers, and will give
them to thee. Thee can stay here as long
as thee likes; thee will live happily once
more, for that pointing to the frame over
the mantel-piece)-"Not drop more,
Daniel"-is his motto now, and will be as
long as he lives"
Daniel and his wife fell on their knees
before the Lord. Their prayers were
mingled with many tears, but in Their
future lives those prayers were found to be
answered.
Several years have passed away since
the above events occurred, and Danie
Akin, now an earnest Christian man, still
sticks to his motto
"NOT A DROP MORE, DANIELr'

RObbing the Mails.

For months past the popular and relia-
BILE publishers, Messrs Hunter & Co., Of
Hinsdale, N. H., have been annoyed and
dismayed at the immense losses Of valuable
letters which were daily occurring. Aided
by the chief Detective and two special p.
o. Agents, they have at last the satisfaction
of seeing the thief-a night clerk in the
Boston p. o." behind the bars,'' and
he has confessed all. Messrs. II. & Co.'s
losses have been enormous; in fact, no ex-
act estimate can at present be made. The
thief carefully examined, aided by light,
every letter, and took e0ery 0ne that con-
tanned money. He was caught in the act
and arrested, and, If he gets his dues will
board with the State for from five to ten
