exclusively used and in estimating cost be
considered that tho resistance 10 the passage tho cleo
trio current increases with ths length Of the line and
that the other hand the conducting power
with the diameter OF tho Consequently to insure
safety and speed OF TRANSMISSION heavier wire be
used for distances than for short hnss that the
cost increases with the length Of the line.
The cost Of the material being tho principal Clement
alike In both cases, shall havo positive saent
for comparison IA the experience of the Prussian
vice which Is for seven wire cable, $3.50 (gold) Der
nile (Engsh) for short distances asd $3.50 for Gem

U. p. Lewis is the wag Of the Detroit

he has written some of the finest touches
of sentiment and human nature in his
police court proceedings that have ever
appeared in the United States. Unlike
Bailey, he did not inherit his wit, unlike
Mark Twain, it did not come to him
through associations. Tho truth is, it was
blown into him. He was an ordinary
stupid country printer, about Ann Arbor
and Lansing, Mich, until he took it into
his head to gu ON tramp" After foot
ing it to Louisville, he, engaged to work his

write he sent an account Of his experience

lislied his reputation us versatile genus.

The next day did the Gap of Dunloe.
But the Major was away and there were no
touters, nor potheen sellers, nor peddlers of
any kind, and but one beggar, and he only
had one ear off. so didn't enjoy the trip.
But it was gloomy and imposing, was the
gap, and it rained nearly all the time, so
there was some satisfaction about it.
However, there was one feature, not OF
the gap, as it is just out of it, which pleased
me amazingly. This was the maid who oc-
cupies Kate Kearney's cottage and sells
photographs and potheen. I got some oil
the potheen. 1t isn't so pleasant, as bev-

The New Postal Law and Country Post
masters.

Baltimore SIMS Washington Letter.
There is much complaint coming into the
Post-office Department from the small post
Offices of the country relative to the new
postal law. Under the old law the ratings
of the salaries of postmasters of these offices
is based on the stamps cancelled there and
the postages received on newspapers, &c.
The new law rates the salaries on the num-
Der Of stamps sold. 1t often happens,
these postmasters represent, that persons
in the country buy large amounts of stamps
in the cities and use them for their letters.
Heretofore such letters have counted in
rating salaries, now they form no part of
the rating, and will thus work consider
able reduction. Besides this, the postages
on newspapers have heretofore been paid
at the Office of delivery, and the commits
sions thereon had been considerable part
of the salaries of country offices. Under
the new law, however, these postages are
paid in the large cities where such periodi-
Gals are published, and this will make a
most important reduction in small Office
salaries. Owing to this prospect, and to
the fact that new bonds are now being
required in many cases. much larger
number of designations than usual are now
being received by the Post-office Depart
ment

Cut this Out

Every person should know how to treat
flesh wound. Every one is liable to be
placed in circumstances away from surgi-
cal and veterinary aid, where he may save
his own life, the life of friend or beast,
simply by the exercise of little common
sense.
In the first place, close the lips of the
wound within the hands and hold them
firmly together to check the flow of blood
until several stitches can be taken and
bandage applied. Then bathe the wound
for long time in cold water. "Should it
be painful" a correspondent says, take
painful of burning Goals and sprinkle upon
them common brown sugar and hold the
| wound part in the smoke. In minute or
| two the pain will be allayed, and the re-
covery proceeds rapidly. In my case a rusty
nail had made bad wound in my foot.
The pain and nervous irritation were Sc
we're. This was all removed by holding it
in smoke fifte en- minutes, and was able to
resume my reading in comfort. We have
often recommended 1t to others with like
result. Last week one Of my men had a
fnger-nail torn off by a pair of ice tongs.
1t became very painful, as was to be ex-
pected. Held in sugar smoke twenty min
utes, the pain ceased and promised speedy
recovery.

The Oyster Trade.

Old oysterlnen pronounce the year 1874
as the most prosperous since 1857. The
Virginia trade has been better than for the
past nine years, both as regards the quality
and the quantity of the oysters produced
In Newark Bay the same success is noted,
and oystermen predict that during the com-
ing year rich harvest is in store. The
Amboy planters and dealers have done well
and have no cause to complain, as they have
steady demand the year round. In 1871
the dealers who own beds in Newark Bay
supplied the market with upwards of one
million bushels of oysters, and this year
will show much larger exhibit Outside
of the oyster trade, bnt few are aware OF
the great importance Newark Bay plays in
this great traffic. Her natural beds are
pronounced equal If not superior to the
Great Beds at Amboy.
During the past few years large quaint.
ties of plants have been sent to France te
stock the rivers of that country, and it il
understood that they have been thoroughly
acelimated and have proved an invaluable
acquisition. Several thousands of bnshel.
have been sent to California, where the,
have far exceeded the expectations of those
| who have taken the time and trouble tt
propagate them 1t is expected that du
ring 1875 many Thousand bushels from thu
Newark Bay beds and the beds Of Ambo,
will be sent to England to replenish the ex
hausted bed of the English Channel
