On Friday and Saturday evenings and
on Saturday afternoon, at Pixies Music
Hall, will be presented the grand mu-
sical treat of the season, thus far, in the
form of series Of concerts by Theodore
Thomas and his famous Orchestra, as
SISTED by the Harmonic Society OF this
city.
Among the musical selections which
have been put upon the programme is
Beethoven's Seventh Symphony, and a
number of other selections equally grand.
Those who enjoyed the music of the
Festival of 1875 will remember with es-
pecial pleasure the rendering of Beetho.
ven's glorious Seventh Symphony. MIR.
Hassard, of the New York Tribune, and
all the other writer's, declared that the
performance had never been equaled in
their experiences. The hearty reception
which This noble composition met with,
from both the critics and the people, led
Mr.. Thomas to place it upon the pro-
gramme.
These concerts will undoubtedly be
the grand feature Of the season thus Tar,
and should be attended by every lover OF
music.

The POst.OMces.

The Postmaster General OF the German
Empire has written history OF the
post-oftice, which is not only interesting,
but furnishes a highly useful gauge of
the comparative industry and progress
iYeness Of nations. The institution owes
its origin to Louis XI Of France, and
Roger Won Taxes, of Germany. Preyi-
GUS to their day, the Chinese and Per-
si,,2e hat, postal systems used solely for
Government purposes. The Greek mes
sages were orai, carrier pigeons be-
ing used on great occasienns' lne y
mans in the Republican era useu !Hviy
tablets. Hadrian and Augustus estab-
lished national post-office. None of
dimly prototype the modern postal ar
rangements, which have become nearly
all that should be desired.
Switzerland leads off in the use of
post-offices. 1t has one to every thous-
and population. The United States
comes next, with one to every eleven
hundred. England has one TO every
twenty-five hundred; Germany one to
every five thousand, and Russia one TO
every twenty-five thousand.
Great Britian's income from this
source is annually seVenty-fye million
dollars; that of France, whose rates
are enormous, pretty near as large;
Russia collects thirty millions; while
the United States pays about seven NIL
lions, above the receipts. AS things get
better settled into grooves in our young
country, the department will becom
more than selfsupporting. AS it is the
immense advantage is not very dearly
paid tor. The commercial activity OF
countries is we'll shown by the number
of letters transmitted. The post-ufices
OF Great Britain do an annual business
OF 29letters per cent. OF its population;
Switzerland 81 per cent. and the United
States IS. In 1871 our letters amounted
to but one million; they now number
seven or eight hundred millions.

the fashion-plate dealers, have failed for

The morning papers, edtorially refer
ring to the appointment of Senator
Chandler as Secretary of the Interior,
all express dissatisfaction with the
Presidents selection.
The Herald says that until this strange
selection GRANTS later Cabinet appoint
ments have been respectable, the Off
GERS selected being great Improvement
ON their predecessors. The President
has offered the position to other gentle
men who had declined it. The tact that
Grant has been unable to prevail on a
better man to accept this important
place is striking proof that the admin
istration has sunk so low that it T.
no longer thought to be an
honor to participate in its counsels.
An acceptance of the office would imply
acceptance of the Presidents public in
dorsement of Delano's course. And no
wonder, therefore, that after repeated
offers no man of higher moral status
than Chandler could be induced to ac-
cept.
The Tribune says if the President had
searched the United States from coast
to coast, ne could not have found man
more likely to pernetuate abuses of De-
lano's administration and to add others
OF his own. He is most. unfit for the
management of large administration
bureau, and the nomination is probably
the worst Grant has yet made.
The Sun says Chandlers presence in
the Cabinet will add to the disgust which
people feel for Grantism, and thus con-
tribute to its final overthrow.
The Witness says Grant has gone far,
in appointing Chandler, to annul the OBJ
lent previous appointments of W ate,
Bristow and Jewell. Except in point OF
ability, Chandler is just about the oppo-
site in every respect to what the occu-
pant Of such an important position
should be.

ditjon. Loss on property small.
