PUSHING TRADE.-Thc fact has come
to our knowledge that Il Dtmaster of
one of the smaller offices in this county
has been in the practice of selling stamps
within the delivery of the Independence
post office, buying goods and paying debts
with them, etc, with the supposed pur-
pose of increasing his own pay, which is
quite large per cent. of all the stamps
sold at his office. The transaction does
not Immediately affect the pay of the
postmaster here as his salary is fixed for
two years to come, but it is directly con
trary to the regulations of the Post Office
Department, and is regarded by the de-
partment as good cause for removal. We
think it quite likely that the postmaster
alluded to pursued his contraband traffic
in ignorance of the regulations, and for
the purpose of informing other postmast
crs who may be thus tempted to work up
foreign trade, we append the rules of
the Post Office Department relating there
to.
Ordered, 1st. That postmasters be pro
hibited from soliciting orders, outside the
deliveries of their respective offices, for
postage stamps, stamped envelopes, news
paper wrappers, or postal cards.
Cd. That in making sales postnastcrs
adhere strictly to the rates established by
law and the postal regulations
3D.. That postmasters be forbidden to
use postage stamps, stamped envelopes,
newspaper wrappers, or postal cards az
articles of traffic, or for the discharge of
private obligations
9Th. That violation of any terms of
this order will be regarded as good cause
for the removal of the offender.

WALKER-On the night of Nov. l, at the residence
of his parents, Danl and Lornda Walker. one
half mile west OF this city. Edwin NJ. Walker at
the age of II years.
Edwin WAS born in Lemster n. H., and came to
this city when 12 years old: examined by Prof
Palmer and placed in the higher department OF the
public school, being at that time of the young
est scholars in the room. As student he was apt
and ambitious, placing himself among the first
and failing to hold the place while he attend
ed school. OF his department it may he said, none
approached the faultless" nearer than he. while
his unfailng good nature secured to him the love
Of both teacher and scholars. He will long have
place in their memory.
Circumstances so ordering, Edwin was taken
from school, two years since, and assigned the
place Of accountant with the firm OF Patrick &
Walker, whose operations in cattle are quite extern
sive. In this position he made himself OF much
value to the firm by the ready and accurate dis
charge of the duties imposed upon him. Mr..
Patrick, in speaking Of him in relation to his du-
ties with the firm, and OF his purity OF mind
remarked that he never had the least reason to
question his renderings; nor in the two years OF
necessarily intimate business relations have ever
heard him utter an unchaste word" Indeed so far
removed from anything OF the kind has he ever
seemed to be, that in an acquaintance running
back to the time of his coming here. l can not re-
call one word act indicative of anything less
than the purest motive and feeling. His devotion
to his parents and little sister, and the interests of
home, was hearty and earnest Unlike any other
member OF the family. he was possessed Of strong
constitution and good health, which seemed, in
some special respect, to make him the dependence
of the others. His ability. coupled with his ever
cheerful compliance with the wish OF each had
caused to be entwined about him u triple network
OF affection so strong AZ to scarcely admit Of the
thought that it ever could be broken. Death
loves shining mark" Who can describe the az
ony of the mother, father and sister when they
knew their boy and brother was the victim Of fatal
disease? This consciousness they had several days
before he died. His disease was not for the most
part attended with any considerable suffering
He was conscious Of his situation. and manifested
the same nobleness Of character he had ever shown
by trying to aay the grief of his friends assuring
them that with him it was AL right that his
Savior would conduct him across the dark river
The afternoon before he died his suffering was in
tense. He was relieved toward evening, and
fingered until between the hours Of II and u
when he passed peacefully from the beautiful
house he had helped to erect,,to the more beauti-
full h5use not made with hands-the house eternal

SHERWOOD & LYMAN-In noticing the
improvements since the great fire, it would
not be appropriate to omit mention of the
magnificent livery barn erected by the
above parties, on the corner of Walnut
and South streets, and now just complet-
ed The building is S21 by 52!, with one
high story on the ground, and spacious
loft for hay. The internal arrangements
for comfort and convenience aIc most
perfect; and no similar establishment In
the State will excel it in this respect. One
of the features of this establishment that
will particularly interest farmers who
drive to town and hitch their teams in the
streets, is the large yard, enclosed with a
high board fence, designed specially for
their accommodation. Here, for trifing
fee, they can secure, feed, and water their
horses, and go about their trading or other
business with feeling of perfect security
regarding the safety and comfort of their
stock. This yard and the stable adjoin-
ing, set apart specially for farmers teams,
should be well patronized, and no doubt
the enterprise of Mcssrs. Sherwood &
Lyman will be appreciated and rewarded.

causes for it generally known, though it

Mr. Clarke is IA young man of energy and
business ability, and we sincerely hope
that this crisis in his affairs may be the
turning point, from which he shall date an
abundant success in life, won by wisdom,
judgment and self-control. He is not cast
down by the wreck of his business, and
declares it to be his purpose to settle and
pay all honest charges against him. He
will now travel as the agent of a Chicago
publishing house, business for which he
is well fitted and will undoubtedly make

The Perplexities Of q Soldier who In
obliged in the Luxury Of q
Street Car Ride,

Many queer incidents have been
related of unsophisticated peoples
adventures on the street cars. Su-
perintendent Shelby, of the Trans
fer, was an eye witness to a funny
street car scene yesterday, and We
shall hold him responsible for the
following story:
A very green looking 'boy in
blue" one of Uncle Sans brave
defenders, entered the car, with an
expression on his countenance in
tended to convey to the other Occu-
pants of the vehicle that riding on
street cars was no novelty to him.
But his travelling compaions thought
otherwise, and Mr.. Shelby, being a
railroad man was convinced that
the soldier had never before in
dulged i'm a street car ride. After
uneasily sitting down for a few
moments, he thought it about time
to remunerate the railway company
for his transportation. So taking
out a dollar bill, he goes forward,
opens the door, and steps out ON the
platform with the driver, of whom
he inquiries i'm a low voice the
amount of the fare.
Five cents for soldiers" was the
reply.
Handing the bill to the driver he
received In return the customary
envelope, containing a dollar i'm
scrip, nickles and car tickets. The
member of the awkward squad, de-
posted theenvelope unopened i'm his
coat pocket, and resumed his seat
with a self-satisfied air, which SEEM
ed to say that hehad done his duty.
Pretty soon the driver began ring
ing the hell at a lively rate. The
soldier couldn't understand it, and
in spite ofhimself he assumed a very
inquiring look.
Mr.. Shelby came to his relief and
informed him that the bell was
ringing for him to come forward
and drop his farein the contribution
box.
"You'n find your change In that
envelope in your pocket" said Mr..
Shelby.
The soldier pulled out the envel-
ope, tore ii in two i'm the middle and
thus split the currency into
halves. Three nickles dropped out,
which he picked up, and then
he threw the torn envelope
and the scrip out of the window.
Walking up TO the box he put i'm a
nickle, and deposited the other two
in his pocket, having paid just
eighty-five cents for the luxury of a
ride i'm a street car. The whole per-
Torrance was witnessed by half a
dozen persons, who could not help
indulging in laughter at the ex-
pense of the perpleXed soldier.
