MERCHANDISE IN THE MAILs.-Post-
Inaster-General Jewell has written the
following letter 70 Senator Ramsey.
Chairman of the Senate Committee on
Post Offices and Post Roads -
Sir:-I have the honor to transmit
herewith a communication from Mr..
Bangs, Superintendent Of the Railway
Nail Service. touching the question of
merchandise in the mails Il do not
hnd that this class of mail matter seri-
ously Obstructs the transportation of the
mails on the railroads. nor does it threat
en- to do so at present; but on some of
the trunk stage lines it does embarrass
US somewhat and will lead to extra cx-
Pense. There is no justice in, doing a
merchandise transportation business /,
and charging the same for short "a long
distances, aud yet do not know as it
can be remedied. The law has been in
operation for so short a time that | am
reluctant to recommend any radical
changes. but would suggest that the
rate OF postage on merchandise be doub.
led--ihat l.. the rate should be one cent
for each ounce or fraction thereof. IN
stead OF one cent fer each two ounces. .
Very faithfully yours
-. a MARSHALL JEwELL.
sss Postmaster General.

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.

The Cincinnati papers describe the
terrible fate which recently befell Mrs.
Mary Mills. the wife of one Of the lead
ing merchants in that city. She had
been confined to Aer room by q severe
illness for several weeks. hat feeling bet
ter the other day she engaged in light
employment about her room. and at the
time of the accident was cutting out :,
dress pattern in front Of the CRATE. Her
back was turned TO the fire, and she had
no knowledge of her danger until the
flames began to leap over her shoulders
and lap her cheeks Her presence of
mind was completely gone 1t would
have been but the work r1f a moment to
have snatched blanket from her bed
and with It smothcred the flames; but
her fright led her to seek the presence of
others. and she rushed screaming down
stairs. At each step the flames increas-
Ell, and when she reached the kitchen
they enveloped her as in cloud. The
first object to meet her eve on getting
below was the cistern. and she made a
desperate effort to raise the covering for
the purpose of jumping in But her
strength failed her. and she fell to the
floor, a blazing heap The only person
in the house was the servant, whose
fright made her utterly unable to render
her mistress any aid TIE agonizing
screams Of Mrs. Mills brought the neigh.
bors to the scene. but too late to render
any assistance. Nearly every article of
clothing the suffering woman rad worn
was burned off. and the body from the
waist to the feet was a crispy mass of
quIvering flesh. The tight under.gar-
ments about the waist. bTeast and Shout
derS saved thaS part Of the body from
serious injury, else death would have
coGss at once. at last accounts she lay
screaming almost constantly. and but
faint hopes were entertained of her re-
covery.

RELIGIOUS.

Not in many years. if ever. was the
interest in religious affairs so strong
and wide spread in Vermont as at the
present time A large proportion Of the
churches have been quickened 10 some
degree. while in many places powerful
resivals are in progress. y series of
lneetings-uspally continuing three days
eaeh-have been held. and are still in
progress. under the auspices of the
Young Mems Christian Association. and
they are everywhere attended with the
best results But the work seems not
at all dependent upon any one agency
except that of the Holy Spirit Pastors
and churches seem to be simultaneously
aroused-actuated by common desire
to witness the promotion of the churches
and the growth of the Redeemer's King
dom. In Frlnklin County. Sxanton,
Bakersfield. West Enosburgh and Enos-
burgh Falls have been especially visited.
These are all farming communities. At
West Enosburgh thirty young persons
have been subjects of the work-among
them the three sons of>one family.
In Swantou, union meetings by the
Congregationalists and NIethodists were
commenced with the week of prayer, and
they are still kept up. The attendance.
despite the bitter cold weather, it is said
has averaged two hundred. A large
number of conversions are reported. In
Washington County. the central county
of the State. the work Is more general
than elsewhere Most of the towns are
more OF less touched. In Barre. such
revival was probably never known. TIE
young people are more generally reached
than others, still the results are by 70
means confined to them. Business men
in the prime Of life are also reached
From Roxbury, Waitsfeld, Waterbury
and Worcester the reports are cheering.
In Montpelier union meetings for PRAYER
have been held since the beginning of
the year with gratifying results. Not
many mighty men, yet seem to have
been affected, but the belief of Christian
men and women is but just commenced.
The pastors and people are cordially uni
ted and earnestly laboring to carry fol-
ward the work. and all the signs seem
hopeful. letter in Boston .Jour,,aL

Il. VERSUS b.


The prosecution in the TiltOn- Beecher
suit has been heard for the present, and
the defence has commenced. The trial
has continued eight weeks. aud the pros.
ecution has presented twelve witnesses.
The stories of Moulton and Tilton were
told last summer. and are well under
stood. 0f-course they are strong ev-
idenee against Beecher. Mr.. Bcecher'
numerous and strange letters are put in
as evidence, and unless they can be ex-
planned away, by the theory Of love
for Mrs. Tilton. they are self condemn
ing Next came the nurse who testi
fed that she saw Mrs. Tilton in Mr..
Beeeher's lap; and then the unwilling
witness, Mr. Richards. brother of Mrs.
Tilton. He testified that he opened the
door of Mrs. 1ilton's parlor suddenly,
and Mrs. Tilton with flushed face, was
moving rapidly away frem Mr.. Beecher.
Then came the testimony of Mrs. Moul-
ton, represented to be woman of unin-
peachable character, and of whom. Mr..
Beecher has spoken very highly. She
testiies that both Mrs. Tilton and Mr..
Beecher acknowledged to her. that thew
not only loved each other intensely. but
that they were guilty of adultery. Mr..
Beecher's lawyers have not been able
to break down single witness, though
they made NIoulton say that he had lied.
and made the nurse say that she was
addicted to drunkenness. Mrs. Moulton
acknowledged that she kissed Mr.. Beech
er. Ia her compassion for him, when he
wept for the great crime he had commit
ted. She also put an arm around his
neck, lint she told her husband). what
she had done.
Taken together the prosecution has
made better showing than many ex.
pected possible, and the case looks ugly
for Beecher but it is too early to come
to any conclusion. Let us wait and heal
the other side. General Tracy, Of
Beecher's counsel-has opened the de.
Tense, with long and powerful argu.
ment.

Some Of the most diluted nonsense
that now floats in the press is in relation
to the '.third term" When the people
come to decide on candidates for Presi-
dent during 1876. it will be on the mer-
its of u. 5. Grant as compared with other
candidates. lfGeneral Grant is thought
TO be the best man for the place. the
people will elect him, otherwise. . rival
candidate. The fact that President
Grant has served, -or will have served
two terms. ought to have no bearing
on the question Of third term. If he
Is the best man for the place. he should
have the Office if another man will
make a better president. let the people
elect him. Until there is more Of a
prospect of the nomination of Grant for
a third term than at present, his enemies
need shed no tears. and anti Grant pa
pers need waste no more ink.

CONGRESS-.

After several weeks of animated dis
cussiOn in which many senator's have
engaged, and. more partisanship than
craftsmanship has been displayed. the
Senate has refused to seat Pinchback.
the senator elect from Louisiana. Wheth
er tired of the endless discussion, or sat-
isfed that Pinch. does not deserve a
seat it is not possible to tell. The SEN
ate has refused to pay the Pacific Nail
Steamship Co, any more money. Their
failure to meet the agreements made in
regard to the number and character of
ships to be furnished. and the shameful
exposure of the brides used to get the
original bill passed, have been the means
OF turning Congress against them. Serv

THESE HARD TINES.

The only way Is to make the best OF
them. Like these fearfully persistent
cold days, we can master them. one by
one. by u patient and contagious cheer
fulness. To growl at our thermometers
because they linger at zero with such a
chronic stubbornness would be but u
waste of reactionary force The bears
set US good example. They hibernate
and come out in good condition in the
spring. There is a spring to follow this
financial winter of our discomfort
just as surely as June comes after Feb
ruary. There is meanwhile u process of
Information which may keep us fat and
flourishing, We shall be in better con
dition, by and by, to resume activities.
If we can't laugh and grow fat, we
can ''grin and bear ia cracking
fretfulness is a frightful waste of moral
energy.
The very best use money can be put
to. in these times, is to pay debts. The
meanest man is he who has money to
handle, and makes the hard times his
excuse for delaying it circulation. Set
the dollar you owe a-going. and it will
be worth two or four or six. before sun
set. according to the number of debts it
pays. Pay 90 per cent. if you can do
no better, and. as it circulates, 1t may
push the other 90 along your way. This
business ordeal We are undergoing is as
necessary as that winter should follow
summer. We sowed bonds and green
backs with our patent legal-tender ma
chine to such an extent that we have on
hand an immense harvest of straw, which
in the process of threshing will yield Us
considerably less solid grain than was
discounted. For the shrinkage there is
no honest help. 1t has got to be sub
mitted to until money shall represent
property in more just ratios. If we
want financial crash to rebuild upon,
We can bring it about by a general
cracking and prophesying of it. Or we
can strengthen the things that remain,
by calm, cheerful and steadfast conf
dcnce that things are settling down
gradually but healthiIy to a sounder
basis.
While business is SO stagnant. it is a
good time to trade more upon our moral
capital, to invest in a higher plane. to
plan for palmer living and higher think
ing. to develop our social wealth-a
thrlf:ier part of the commonwealth by
tar than stocks or rents-to cultivate
neglected friendships, to exchange those
kindly and genial affections and finer
sentiments, whose merchandise is better
than gold. The moral necessity which
belongs to the times. of cheering each
other up. would accrue to how many
moss grown and hide bound men an un-
speakable gain! How many human
mud turtles, who never disclose their
heads but to snap at somebody, have
now thelropportunity of social evolution!
