III is TO be hoped the public has heard of the
last arrest of employees of the City Post Office
for some time to come. Within few months
past half dozen or more employees have
been arrested or dismissed in disgrace on
account of irregular, and in some cases posi-
lively criminal, practices, and 1t would seem
that by this time the black sheep ought to
be pretty well driven out. AS a rule, per
sistency in wrong-doing always results in
exposure and disgrace. and especially is this
true of the Post Office Department, where a
large corps Of detectives are employed In I'M
earthing crime. Notwithstanding a know
ledge of this fact, and the arrests which have
been made from time to time, another vic
tim has fallen into the trap prepared for his
reception.

The Postmaster General uttered no uncer-
tain sounG when he laid certain charges at
the door of the late postmaster at Bridge
PORT, Connecticut. ITO particularize he says,
"Andrew j. Osborne paid you $50, in three
notes OF $50 each, for securing his appoint
ment as route agent on the Housatonic rail
road, and George l.. Howe, or his friends,
paid you $50, more or less, for securing his
appointment as mail messenger between
bridgeport and East Bridgeport" AS the
delinquent p. m. attempted no denial his
discovered head dropped Into the basket,
still shouting the Battle Cry of Freedom"
This is summary but just way of dealing
with like officials.

Atlantic City, built up on the sandhilIs of
the Jersey coast, has through the energy and
enterprise of a few men grown up to be a
beautiful and attractive pleasure resort with
permanent population of 2 100 men, women,
and children. Eighty or ninety new houses,
many of them expensive structures with fine
surroundings, were built this year and a yet
larger number will be erected next season.
The notable growth of the place is attributed
largely 10 the abundant facilities for cheap
and comfortable travel there, afforded by the
Camden and Atlantic railroad. This is a
hint that other pleasure resorts and railroads
leading thereto might follow to advantage.

Gen. Boynton has q letter in the Cincin-
natl Gazette Of yesterday exposing the true
inwardness Of the Delano resignation of
the Interior portfolio. After giving a full
history of the case, including documentary
evidence. Mr.. Boynton says:
"The weakness of the charge that Secretary
Brisfow has been pursuing Mr.. Delano is suf-
fciently apparent in the light of the above
facts. Mr.. Delano and all his following had
long been busy in their attempts to under
mine the new Secretary with the President
before Gen. Bristow was aware that he had
consented to I'LL place to which Mr. Delano
believed himself entitled through a promise
Of the President. When the move against
The whisky thieves began, Gen. Bristow en-
countered the friends of Mr.. DelanO working
industriously at every turn to thwart the
efforts Of the Treasury Department In the
matter, and it will be found hereafter that
some OF the chief newspapers which have de-
Tended Mr.. Delano and assaulted Secretary
Bristow have done both in the immediate
interest OF the whisky and the Indian rings.
The friends Of Mr.. Delano have made his re-
moval from the Cabinet a triumph for Gen.
BrfsfOw, through their continual declara-
lions that be was trying to force Mr.. DelanO
from the Cabinet, but that the latter would
stick, while the former would himself be
obliged 10 resign"

A novel contest in the shape of a carrier
pigeon flying match between Baltimore and
Philadelphia, distance one hundred miles,
took place yesterday. The pigeons on being
tossed up rose to great height, and after
making few circuits In the air darted Off
towards Philadelphia. The first reached the
latter city in two hours and thirty-one min
utes, the second in three hours and seven
minutes, and the third in five hours and four
minutes. The first, IL will be observed, flew
at the rate Of forty miles per hour, while the
Others might easily have been beaten by a

numbered, none OF them carrying messages.

The ssC0nglcmeFation''t that Defeated
Allen.

Gov. Allen, of Ohio, has been interviewed
by the Cincinnati Commercial since the cleo
ton, and in answer to the inquiry to what
he attributed his defeat responded: "Oh,
don't know-God only knows that. 1 had q
ID OF a load to carry, there's no doubt OF
that I'd rather not say what IL was Just
now" His relative, Dr. Charles Allen, of
this city, who has just returned from the
Ohio campaign, is not so reticent, however.
He says Uncle William was defeated by "the
fnidel Germans, the lager Germans, the
niggers, the Methodist Church. and the d.
and that, says the Doctor, explosively, "is
ooDglomeration hard TO beat" Doctor
Allen, however, figures out from the close
ness OF the result in a vote of such unprece-
dented magnitude that the democrats have
made immense gains in the republican state
OF Ohio, giving them comforting assurance
OF national victory. Like st. Paul, the Doc
tor is cast down but not destroyed.

The Fever Tree.

A writer says =, Among his other
great pubic enterprises Garibaldi, the
famous italian hero, is engaged in plant
ing the Eucalyptus or blue gum tree
about Rome, to prevent the malarial
fever with which the inhabitants of that
city are afflicted AS this tree is little
known in our country, some account
may not be unintcrcsting. According to
the best authorities it is an Australian pro
duction, and was first discovered by the
French scientist, La Nillardicrc, who
visited Van Dieman's Land in 1892. 1t
was brought into the south of France
about the beginning Of the present cen
tury,Aand noble specimens of it arc now
growing in the promcnadcs and public
gardens Of Nice, Cannes, Hycrcs, and
Algiers. It's medicinal qualities, how
ever, did not become known until about
thirty years ago. The Spaniarcls first
discovered that it was a preventive of
fever and the colonists of Tasmania used
its leaves for variety of purposes 1t
was not until 1860 its full power became
known, and, as hygienic measure, it
was introduced in the Spanish realm ls
an antisctic. The people of Valcntia
were suffering from malarial fever;
Eucalyptus trees were planted about the
!
hcalthfulness of the locality followed
30 popular did it become that the trees
had to be guarded, the inhabitants steal
ing, the leaves every opportunity they
mad, to make dccoctiOns to drink. The
Spnnlards named the Eucalyptus the
fever tree" and soon afterwards it was
introduced into Algeria. 1t next tray
elcd to the Cape of Good Hope, Corsica
Sicily, South America and California.
ssGaribaldi's attempt to introduce it into
Rome. is not entirely new. Some years
ago few dozen specimens were planted
about the walls, and although nearly all of
the trees lived but very few of them are
vigorous. After trial of many years in
Southern France it has failed to become
hardy or suck up and destroy the poison
Gus vnpors of the swamps in whic!, it
was planted. The trappist monks of the
Ire Fontanc have recently set out large
plantations Of the Eucalyptus trees, and
are tending them with the utmost care.
This may be looked upon MS n decisive
experiment. The record of the Euca-
iyptHs tree as an antisct:c and disinfcc-
tant is excellent The districts in which
it is Indigenous arc healthy, and those
into which it has been introduced and
thriyen have become healthy. A few
miles from Agiers is farm which was
once. noted for its deadly fevcrs. Life on
it in summer months was. almost impos-
siblc. In the year 1867 the owner
planted 1000 Eucalyptus trees, and they
grew nine feet in thirteen months, and
not single case of fever appeared, nor
has there been any fever there since.

climate, false impressions about the
height to which the thermomctcs attains
in midsummer, have, by fint, Of self in
vcstigation, aided by the press, been dis
PEELED, at the least in small circles, but
there are still many in the west and
north, and also in EuroHe, who mentally
compare the fertile lands of Gulf States

White labor, and particularly, the partic

in the labors of the field, have of late
tended to shorten the period necessary

feeding a good iced Of oats each day
for one or two weeks before tie COW

in season when feed has been scarce,
and have had to feed a good deal OF
meal, especially corn and cobs ground
together; but even then, when have
taken the prccaution to feed oats as

cure, take 3 or pounds Of any old
rusty iron-some old horseshoes Tor
instance-heat them red hot, then
throw them into bucket Of three
quarts of cold water; take the iron
out and put bran enough in to make
a good "lnash.' If the COW will not
eat it readily, salt it a little. This
will usually remove the afterblrth

not, repeat the rosc. The COW should
