The Mail Money Order system.

The Postmaster-General in his an
nual report, says:
1.-The money order business of this
department appears to be rapidly grow
ing in public favor, and is undoubtedly
very great accommodation to a large
number of persons who are not within
the reach of banking facilities or who
are unaccIstomed to the use of them.
Yet l see no reason why this branch of
service should not be made self-sustain-
ing. The apparent profits of the money
order system during the last year are
about S105, 900, while certain expenses
to the amount of 1882, 900 for clerk hire
and stationery in the Postoffice Depart
ment, Auditors Office, and for money
order clerks in the postofice, are not
charged to the money-order business,
but are paid cut of appropriations ;
but, while the money order system APP
pears TO yield a revenue of 'S1O5, 900,
there is, In fact, q deficit of $40, 900. ]
suggest, therefore, that the fees OF
money orders be increased in accord
ance with the views of the Superintend.
emit, so that the money order system shall,
like any other business, be made to de-
fray all its own expenses"

A Conductors Dog.

A conductor on one of the trains of
the c., d. and NJ. road had, until a
couple of days since, Scotch terrier
dog, which was his inseparable COM
panion, and accompanied his master
with unfailing regularity on all trips,
the conductor going up to the north
end of the line one day and back the
next. The dog had his place in the
baggage Car, and kept it all the time
the train was in motion, but when the
train stopped at a station he would step
out and take a look at things,
and when the bell rang he
would resume his place in the
car. He understood all the signals as
we'll as any of the men, and when the
whistle sounded seattle N the track, !"
the dog would rush to the steps of the
car and join his notes of warming with
those of the whistle. Just this side of
Guttenburg, year ago, while barking
at the cattle from the steps of the car,
he fell overheard, and it was supposed
that he had been killed. The next
morning, however, when his masters
train returned to Guttenburg, "Scipio"
was there and jumped on board as if
nothing had happened. He seemed to
understand the time of the arrival and
departure of his train for many times
when he had been absent at the house
his master has found him waiting at the
depot. A couple of days since, how
ever, he met his death. The whistle
had sounded cattle alarm, and he
rushed to the platform, as usual. Just
then the brakes were suddenly applied,
giving the car jerk that threw poor
"Scipio" from his feet and he rolled
down between the cars and was killed.
He had scarcely missed train in three
years and was a general favorite all
along the line of road.-Du6uque

THE LATEST TRIUMPH OF TEMPERANCE.

THE LATEST TRIUMPH OF TEMPERANCE.
We congratulate the temperance
world on the success everywhere at
tending the use of VINEGAR Buffers.
Certainly no preparation containing
alcohol has accomplished such cures of
malarious fever, biliousness, dyspepsia,
rheumatism, lung complaints, consti-
patton and general debility, as We hear
of fro m all quarters as the results OF
this famous vegetable specific. No
true philantbropist will regret to see
spirituous liquors expelled from medi-
cal use, if they can be safely dispensed
with and that they are not necessary
in any case of sickness, whatever its
character, appears at last to have been
demonstrated. If public opinion is
capable of making any impression upon
the minds of the faculty, they will ere
long introduce the most popular of
modern medicines into the hospitals,
and prescribe it in their practice. The
millions have given the article fair
trial it has more than answered their
expectations, and no theoretical oppo-
sition can shake their faith in it. ID

How a Conductor Got His Thanksgiving
Turkey.

On Friday evening as Conductor Car
ney's train, of the Illinois Central, was
passing through the timbered region Of
Center Grove, a flock of wild turkeys
were noticed running alsng on the track
considerable distance ahead of their
engine. The conductor stationed him
self on the pilot, and, as the train APP
preached the birds, they took to the
wings, rising directly in front of the en-
CINE. For few seconds, which seemed
like minutes, there was q most exciting
race, but the train was too fast for the
birds, and as it caught mp with them
the smoke-stack knocked three or four
of them to grass, and Mr.. Carney
caught one, a monstrous gobbler, by
the legs, and SO strong was the bird
and he made such struggle that it
was only by desperate effort that Mr..
c. could retain his place on the pilot
with one hand and hold the bird with
the other. He succeeded at last in get
ting him safely back to the baggage car,
where it was found that his turkeyship
weighed twenty-five pounds.
