Ei:e President and 1he Postmaster

President Grant has not only nice appre-
citation OF humOr, but on occasion is apt at
repartee. During his recent vacation at Long
Branch he was called to Washington on pub
lie business, and while there was handed for
signature several commissions of postmasters.
There were also presented to him number
Of petitions, among them one from citizens of
Vineland, n. j., tor the removal of Mr.. Ian
dis from the postmastership. Mr.. Lands, it
will be remembered, is the gentleman who ih
an informal and impromptu manner ''pro-
noted a small globe of lead into the brain Of
MIR. Carruth, the editor of the Vineland pa
per. The President asked:
''ls there any ;rregularity in Mr. Landis's
accounts?"
''Not any," replied the pleayant-voiced
Postmaster-GeIeral'
us the Office well conducted ?"
''No complaint On that score"
,'Intcmperate habits %
Nothing Of the kind charged"
''What is the objection 2"
"The petitioners say he is rather obnoxious
and change would be satisfactory"
"Well," replied the President, with the
slightest possible twinkle at the Postmaster
General, che doesn't appear to have done
anything but shoot an editor, and don't see
how can remove him for that"
The papers remain on file in the archives
OF the republic.

news, and together they watched and waited
for deliverencc, hugging each other for Joy
and warmth. for they were very cold.
Farmer Buxton, who lived in lonely house
on the edge Of his own private prairie, was a
famous sleeper in general, but on this partic-
ular morning he awoke before the dawn, and
though he turned and turned again, he could
sleep no more. So at last he awoke his wife
and said: s'It's no use I'll just get up and
dress, and have look at the comet
The next she heard was frightened sum-
mons to the door. 1t seems that no sooner
did he step from his house than his eyes fell
Oh q strange shape hanging in large pear
tree about twenty yards distant. He could
see it in no likeness to anything earthly, and
he half fancied it might be the comet. who
having put out his lights had come down
there to perch In his fright and perplexity
he did what every wise man would do in like
extremity. Reinforced by her he drew near
the tree, cautiously accommodating Surely,
never pear tree bore such fruit ! Suddenly
there descended from the thing a plaintiye,
trembling little voice, "Please take us down.
We are very cold"
Then a second little yoice-''and hungry,
too. Please take us down.
''Why, who are you And where are
you:"
The first little voice said: Eve are Mrs.
Harwood's little boy and girl, and we are lost
in balloon"
The second little voice said: ''lts us, and
we ruined away in Il balloon. Please take
us down."
Dimly comprehending the situation, the
farmer, getting hold Of a dangling rope, sue
ceeded in pulling down the balloon. He first
lifted out little Johnny, who ran rapidly few
yards towards the house, then turned round
and stood for few moments, curously sur
veying the balloon. The faithful little sister
was SO chilled and exhausted that she had to
be carried into the house, where, trembling
and sobbing, she told her wonderful story.
Before sunrise q mounted messenger was sent
to the Harwood home, with the glad tidings
OF great joy. lie reached it in the afternoon,
and few hours later the children themselves
arrived in state with banners, and conveyed
in covered hay wagon and four. Joy bells
were rung in the neighboring town, and in
the farmers brown house the happiest family
on the continent thanked God that night.

Professor Randolph, in lengthy paper or
the sun, says: A molten Or white Lot mass,
$4,000 miles in diameter, cqualling in bulk
1850, 900 worlds like our own, having a sur
rounding ocean of gas or fire, $4,000 miles
deep, tongues of flame dasting upward more
than $4,000 miles, volcanic forces that hurl
into the solar atmosphere luminous matter to
the height Of 100000 miles, drawing to itself
all the worlds belonging to our planets, and
holding them in their proper place; attracting
with such superior force the millions of solid
and stray masses that are wandering in the
fathomless abyss that they rush helplessly to-
ward him and fall into his fiery embrace.
And thus he continues his sublime and resist
less march through his mighty orbit, having
q period Of more than 10000 600 of years.

TIe van Francisco MINIS Capacity.

The facilities of the U. s. Mint to turn out
gold is at tlfis juncture a matter Of special in
tercst The mint has now on hand s., ,O0O, 900
in gold and $22, 900, 900 in silver. Superin-
tendcnt LaGrange states that the mint can
coin gold faster than it can be paid out, the
capacity of one press in the instution amount
ing to ninety $50 pieces in one minute, or
$1SO,O0O an hour, and about 81, 900, 900 in
days work. The mint has two presses for
coming double eagles, both of which could
be pressed into service ut once if necessary.
The mint is now refining $4,000 ounces per
day on an average. Yesterday it refined full
10000 ounces and tomorrow will refine about
$4,000 ounces. Gold coin has been turned
out this month to the amount Of S., 600, 900,
and the mint can pay gold coin for all gold
bullion deposits without delay. All its de-
posts of gold coin are paid for in twenty
four hours, unless the bullion is base and re-
quires remelting-an unusual thing-which
would require another day. In short, the
coming capacity of the mint is sufficient to
handle all the bullion on the coast.-S r.

An Earthquake at Sea.
From the Baltimore American. !


Captain Doe, of the American bark Saint
Lawrence, which sailed from Demcrara upon
the 25th ut., for Baltimore, with cargo of
sugar and molasses consigned to the owner,
w. Ii. Perot, reports having experienced at
$50 p. M. on the Goth ult, heavy earth
quake in latitude Is, 13 longitude CLOS,
which shook the vessel from stem to stern,
but, however, causing no damage The
weather was fair at the time, and Capt. Doe
was asleep on deck, but was aroused by the
shock. The first mate, Charles Zimmerman,
who was On watch at the time, recorded the
following particulars upon the log: At the
hour named the vessel shook and trembled as
if it had either run upon rocks or sunken
vessel. He went aft, looked into the water,
which had not been discolored and showing
that the vessel had not struck. He then went
below, to see if the sugar or molasses had
shifted, but found it all right. He afterwards
ordered the pumps to be pu. to work, but no
he then concluded that the ''upheavaP was
caused by an earthquake. Two lady passen-
gers in the cabin, Mrs. Captain Doe and Miss
Dillingham;, of Albany, n. Y, became great
ly alarmed, and said that they heard the miz-
zenmast snap from the effects OF the shock.
Captain Doe states that the earthquake lasted
for thirty seconds, and that when his vessel
received the shock he was about 14O miles
from land, between St. Thomas and St. Bar
tholomew, two Of the group Of the Caribbean
Isles. A similar shock had been felt at Bar
BADGES, another of the group, the day before
He had sailed over the same course, but never
before experienced anything Of the kind.

Valuable Dogs.

At the London dog show this year the Rev
J. W. Mellar's champion mastiff, Turk, a
dog a little over seven years old, that has won
more than thirty prizes and cups, was valued
by his owner at $685. 900, and Mr.. A. s. D.
Fivas's CRANKY, an animal almost as big as a
lion, at S50,0O0 Four other mastiffs were
valued at $4,000 each, several ST. Bernards
were rated at from $1,000 to $4,000, New
foundland was marked $4,000, the famous
grayhounds st. Patrick and Warwick were
considered to be worth $25, 600 each, several
settlers were appraised at $4,000 apiece, and
one at $50, 600; one Irish water spaniel was
held at So, 900, and six retrievers at the same
price, while a Dalmatian, belonging to Mr.
r. J. L. Price, known as Crib, nine years
old, was valued at 100000 sterling OF
course most of these valuations were exag-
gerated methods of stating that the dogs were

'K5se New American College OF Music.

The new American College of Music in
New York city promises to be the most ex-
tensive institution of the kind in existence.
The original endowment of $5,000,000, con-
tributed anonymously, will, it is stated, shortly
be supplemented by an additional donation
of 1000, ,OG0 by another millionaire, Mr.
Daniel Hopkins. The constitution, bylaws
and scheme of instruction are now completed,
and await the sanction of the board of trus-
tees, which being obtained-as it doubtless
will be-the college can Immediately begin
operations. The institution will be temper
ar;ly located i'll the handsome block On Fifth
avenue between Forty fifth and Forty-second
streets, now partly occupied by the Rutgers
Female College: and it is expected that in
about i've years the permanent building,
which will cost at least $1,000,0O0, will be
completed on the site appropriated by the
Legislature and Park Commissioners, in Gen.
tral Park from Eightieth to Eighty-frst
streets. The munificerce of the endowment
will render it possible to provide musical edu-
cation practically free to all. The terms of
instruction will be very low, and there viii
be AT abundance of free scholarships.

The Long Branch correspondent Of the
Baltimore 11nerac0n writes | have men,
tened in former letter that we have here a
girl from ST. Louisa graceful, dimpling,
rOguish beauty-whose favorite color in dress
is that one which the poets never cease to
laud to the skies-cerulean blue This sum-
mer she iEcines more to the blue Of the navy,
as that is the shade most in vogue, and when
she appears in a handsome blue silk just from
Brundage Bakers, and tilted hat with a
navy-blue vail twined around it and then
around her marble throat, she is as pretty a
specimen Of stylish American girl as one
need care to see. The ladies are enthusiastic
about her, and SO are many gentlemen.
The other day family from st. Louis ar
rived at our hotel, and what extraordinary
words of greeting do you suppose they used
to the pretty girl in blue?
''Good day. said they to her. GLOW does
Long Branch agree with you? Do you snore
AS much as usual?"
The poor girl blushcd to her hair, and said:
''Oh how mean you arc You know don't
snOre"
She Confided the secret of her annoyance to
us Oh the back piazza at midnight, over the
uninebriating influence of glass of iced
lemonade:
II took my dog on the train when was
coming away from ST. Louis, and as didn't
want to put him in the baggage car, hid
him at the foot of my sleeping BERTH He fell
asleep instantly, and then the little villain
began snoring as if he had just been receiving
Caudlc lecture. Ipushed him and scolded
him and coaxed him and threatened him. It
was of no use. he just snored the night
through. I shouldn't have minded, but there
was a party Of St. Louis boys in the next
berth. and they heard the snoring, and not
knowing the dog was there, they spread the
report that snorcd awfully.'

A Texas BeGi-BgIg.
LFrom the Sheridan Register.

\ Sherman man, who was out in the coun-
try buying grain, stopped at night at a dilap%
dated farm house. After fierce contest with
the bugs and mosquitoes, he had fallen asleep
lie slept about an hour, when he was rudely
awakened. The old farmer was standing
over him with a cooked revolver, and one Of
the farmers stalwart sons had him by the
heels and was in the act Of jerking him out
OF bed, while the hired man was tossing the
pillow around with three-tined pitchfork.
What have done?" he hoarsely asked.
;, Keep cool, stranger" replied the farmer,
some OF the boys thought they Leard Den
