Conclusive proof has been obtained
that four or five clerks in the postoffice de-

secured a number OF contracts for mail service
in the southern states by means of a counter
felt of the stamp containing the initials of the
FIST and second postmaster generals, which is
placed on the bids when opened in order to
show they have been received in time This
counterfeit stamp has been used to give ap-
parent validity to straw bids made at the low

soil, and would hear from this government in
a short time, concerning those more recently
committed, through the department OF state
There would be a consultation with the secre-

IF WE KNEW.

If we knew the woe and heart-ache,
Waiting for US down the road,
IF our lips could taste the wOrmwOOd,
If our backs could feel the load,
Would we waste one day in wishing
For time that ne'er can beT
Would we wait with such impatience
For our ships to come from sea
If we knew the baby fingers
Pressed against the windOW-pane
Would be cold and stiff tomorrow
Never trouble US again
Would the bright eyes of our darling
Catch the frOwn upon our brow
Would the print Of rosy fingers
Vex US then as they do now?
Ah these little ice-cold fingers,
How they point our memories back
To the hasty words and actions
Strewu along our backward track.
How these little hands remind Us,
AS in snowy grace they lie,
Not to scatter thorns-bUt roses
For our rsspiug by and by.
Strange, we never prize the music
Till the sweet-yOiced bird has flown;
Strange. that we should slight The viOlsts
Till the lovely flowers are gone;
Strange, that summer skies and sunshine
Never seem half so fair
as when winters snowy piniOns
Shake their white down in the air
Lips, from which the seal Of silence
None but God can roll away
Never blOssOmed in such beauty
AS adOrns the mouth of day:
And sweet words that freight our memory
With their beautiful perfume,
Come to us in sweeter accents
Through the portals Of the tomb.
Let us gather mp the sUnbeams
Lying all around orr path
Let us keep the wheat and roses,
Casting out the thOrns and chah:
Let Us find our sweetest comfort
In the blessings of to-day,
With patient hand removing
All the brisrs from our way.

because it was an anniversary of the

Mr.. JAMES LICK, IN giving his reasons
for revOking his dead of trust, stated to
a reporser of the San Francisco Chroni-
Gle that a strong inducement was the
torture he suffered from the agents of
benevolent societies to which he had
not made benefactions, They were
continually at his bedside importuning
him to amend the deed so as to include
them. Another reason was an evi-
dent determination On the part of his
relatives TO test the validity of the deed
in the courts. A nephew had already
brought suit for $40, 200 for services
which he claimed to have rendered.
